Tianxian City in Zhongzhou

Yang Luo became very busy. Talisman Makers from all walks of life came to her. She discussed talisman techniques with many people every day. So, Yang Xiong bought a house for Yang Luo in Tianxian City to make it more convenient.

Whether intentional or unintentional, Yang Luo became Lin Jiang’s neighbor, which made Lin Jiang very uncomfortable, but he had no choice.

"Uncle Dan Dan, please stop fooling me. I’m not a three-year-old child anymore. I turned four yesterday."

At the entrance, Small Shadiao went to deceive those little kids again, but this time the little kids didn’t fall for it. They were not three-year-old kids anymore, they were four-year-old people.

"Only four years old? I can already fly at four. Can you?"

"You’re lying. How can a four-year-old fly? My dad said you need to be twelve to start training and learn to fly."

"That’s because your dad doesn’t know how. If you want, call my dad, and I’ll teach you how to fly."

"Really."

"Dad, dad, please teach me to fly quickly."

The little kid suddenly became interested. Being able to fly must be a very joyful thing. Shouting "daddy" won’t make them lose anything.

Small Shadiao happily responded and used magic to control a few little kids. He lifted them up in the air and shook them. While shaking, the snacks in their pockets fell out. Small Shadiao looked at them, put the little kids back on the ground, picked up the snacks, and ran away.

The little kids realized they were tricked and got angry. They all rushed towards Small Shadiao. Small Shadiao dodged while eating. When he finished eating, he stopped running. The little kids saw that their snacks were gone and sat on the ground crying.

Small Shadiao saw this and also sat on the ground, crying as well. Their magical powers clashed, leaving the little kids speechless.

"Uncle Dan Dan, you’re a bad egg. I don’t want to play with you anymore."

The little kids realized that their strongest move didn’t work. They wiped their tears, stood up, and walked away. Small Shadiao laughed loudly while watching.

"Taoist Friend Little Li, I have snacks that can’t be finished. Would you like to come?"

Small Shadiao patted his bottom and prepared to go home. Playing tricks on little kids for snacks was his specialty, but this time, when he turned around, Yang Luo was standing in front of him and spoke.

"Snacks, what kind of snacks?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Yummy snacks"

"Does Taoist Friend Yang have a problem with his brain? Are you tricking me, a Nascent Soulcultivator, with snacks?"

Small Shadiao pointed at his own head and said to Yang Luo, causing Yang Luo’s smile to instantly freeze.

"Yes, I didn’t think it through. What does Taoist Friend Little Li like?"

"I like it when others call me Dad, would you call me that?"

"If I call you Dad, can you be my protector?"

"Sure, go ahead and call me that."

"Okay, listen carefully."

"Oh my gosh, you’re serious. Just kidding, just kidding. Goodbye."

Small Shadiao thought he had figured out Yang Luo’s expression, but when he saw that Yang Luo was really going to start screaming, and Yang Xiong next to him had a look of wanting to kill, Small Shadiao suddenly panicked, like his butt was on fire, and quickly ran back home. ⱤåNȮꞖЕs̈

"Junior sister, why are you playing with a fool? If you shout for his dad, then what does that make me?"

"If shouting ‘dad’ could trick a level four beast pet, then it wouldn’t be a loss, right?"

"A level four beast pet, how is that possible? He…"

Yang Xiong’s face suddenly changed color. With his Void Achieving cultivation level, he couldn’t believe that it was a level four beast pet. This was a bit unbelievable.

"This beast pet is very interesting, and his dad is even more interesting. His dad should have learned the Seventy-two Transformation Supernatural Powers, changing his appearance and aura."

"The Seventy-two Transformation Supernatural Powers, isn’t it the legendary supernatural ability that the Green Emperor used to create top-level secret arts with countless changes?"

"Yes, but the Seventy-two Transformation Supernatural Powers have long been lost. What has been passed down are only fragments, with only three or five transformations. If senior brother is interested, he can go and search for them. If he manages to gather all seventy-two transformations, there will be a great surprise."

Yang Luo said. Seventy-two Transformation Supernatural Powers, the legendary secret art, it’s a pity that it’s already lost.

"Junior Sister, what is this person’s background? Even though they are only at the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, they actually have a mid-level fourth rank beast pet. This is not something an independent cultivator can achieve."

"Don’t worry, we still have plenty of time ahead."

Yang Luo shook her head and then turned to go back home.

·········

"Are you bullying little kids again?"

"No, it’s actually them bullying me. They think I’m an easy target because I’m obedient."

"You lie and make others call you ‘dad’, aren’t you afraid they’ll beat you up?"

Lin Jiang sighed. He was also bored. Every day, Small Shadiao would go and scam some snacks, and he would just watch Small Shadiao use different methods to trick others.

"Who beats who is not certain. If we can’t win, we still have you as our dad, right?"

"So you want them to hit me with a hammer?"

"But how can that be?"

"What did Yang Luo say to you?"

"She also called me Dad, but I refused because she’s ugly."

"Where did you learn to spout nonsense? I certainly didn’t teach you."

Lin Jiang was completely speechless. Since coming to Tianxian City, Small Shadiao had completely let loose, not only bullying little kids every day but also talking nonsense all the time.

"Hehe, I taught myself. Please call me a genius."

"Hurry up and get lost, or I might have to use force."

Lin Jiang got angry. Small Shadiao was as thick-skinned as a pig’s butt, so from now on, it’s better to settle things with physical strength.

Since Yang Luo moved next door, this area has become much livelier. Even Lin Jiang feels the same way because many Talisman Makers from Tianxian City are acquaintances of his. When they go to Yang Luo’s place, they often stop by Lin Jiang’s to have a cup of tea and chat. Lin Jiang is happy to host them because he can get second-hand news this way.

"Taoist Friend Li, let me tell you, I’m increasingly impressed by Yang Luo the Taoist Friend. She has achieved a golden core. If she becomes Nascent SoulSoul Changing, she will definitely become the most notable person in the whole world."

"It’s not just being the most notable, it’s about leaving a mark in history, like the Thunder Emperor and Green Emperor of the past."

"Yes, Yang Luo is like a shining pearl, and we are just fireflies. In front of her, we are too insignificant."

"I mean, why do you all lack confidence so much?"

Lin Jiang found their conversation more and more interesting. He wondered what other abilities Yang Luo has yet to display to earn such reverence from a group of already intelligent people.

"Taoist Friend Li, you live next door to Yang Luo, don’t you know?"

"Know what?"

"Yang Luo has recently come up with a new idea. She wants to merge Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation."

"Integration, how does one integrate?"

Yang Luotaoist friend said, Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation are inherently complementary. For example, our talisman pattern is derived from the formation, and our magic tool also needs to have forbidden formation inscribed on it to enhance its power. As for pills, the Pill Furnace speaks for itself. Without a talisman pattern, the Pill Furnace is just a pile of scrap metal.

With a brilliant idea, Yang Luotaoist friend suggested many things, such as refining the Pill Furnace. Yang Luotaoist friend wanted to embed a formation inside the Pill Furnace, allowing it to refine pills on its own. The intensity of the fire, turning and flipping, all controlled by the formation, without the need for an Alchemist. If successful, alchemy would become a simple matter in the future.

Lin Jiang became silent, doubting whether Yang Luo was also a time traveler like him. Wasn’t this damn thing supposed to be automated? But can automated alchemy really work? Should they create an assembly line for it?

"I remember Danxia Sect has a treasure, a Pill Furnace of spiritual treasure level. The Pill Furnace has an Item Spirit, which can also refine pills on its own. Pills below the fifth rank are a piece of cake for it."

"Yes, indeed there is this Pill Furnace, but there is only one in the entire cultivation world. It took Danxia Sect several generations, over fifty thousand years, countless materials, and immeasurable effort to nurture it. It’s currently one-of-a-kind. However, if Yang Luotaoist friend’s idea succeeds, it can be mass-produced."

"This seems difficult to succeed, right?"

"Definitely, at the moment it’s just an idea. Even just a new talisman technique has stumped everyone. Besides Yang Luotaoist friend, no one has succeeded yet."

"There is a great distance between an idea and something tangible. It may be beyond our lifespan, but as long as someone researches it, it can be achieved one day."

"Why don’t we have the same idea as Yang Luo, how did her brain grow differently?"

"You can cut open her brain to see."

"Don’t say that, Taoist Friend Li, we can’t say such things recklessly."

The person was shocked. Who is Yang Luo that they dare to think like this? Are they tired of living?

Lin Jiang smiled and quickly changed the subject, but as soon as they left, Lin Jiang started pondering Yang Luo’s words. It has to be said that Yang Luo is indeed a genius, and her ideas have great potential. It’s not just alchemy, the combination of Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation can change many things. If it can be realized, its influence won’t be lower than the new talisman technique, and maybe even stronger.

"That’s what makes genius ideas so unique. But why would Yang Luo publicize all of this?"

Lin Jiang thought in his heart, he didn’t think Yang Luo was a selfless person. He has lived for thousands of years and has never seen such a person. There must be some ulterior motive. What is her plan?
