Chapter 57: Chapter 50 Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, Visualizing Yin Talisman Divine Thunder

Within the inner city of Great Marsh Prefecture, in a courtyard spanning hundreds of acres, resplendent with flower pavilions and towers, an elegant, beautiful woman with white hair, appearing to be around thirty years old, sat in a pavilion admiring the flowers and scenery.

A woman in a plain white robe hurried to the outside of the pavilion, knelt, kowtowed, and then spoke, "Elder Hua, Ma Rusong says he has an important matter to discuss with you!"

The white-haired woman’s eyes flickered, a divine light flashing within them. "Let him come over!"

A moment later, Ma Rusong followed the white-robed female disciple to the outside of the pavilion. He knelt from a distance and then approached the pavilion entrance on his knees. "Elder Hua, Xiaosong is here to see you!"

"Hmm, if you need my help with something, just say it!" Elder Hua said softly, her gaze fixed on a bamboo grove outside the pavilion.

Ma Rusong’s eyes flickered, and he said, "Xiaosong wishes to ask the Elder to dispatch a disciple to deal with a man named Lin Xuankong!"

"What is his cultivation level, and which sect does he belong to?" Elder Hua frowned slightly. For him to require one of my disciples to act, he must possess some skill, perhaps an expert of the Fourth Layer or higher!

Ma Rusong replied, "His name is Lin Xuankong. He is my... my fellow disciple, at the Second Layer of Transcendence!"

Elder Hua looked at Ma Rusong. "Your fellow disciple, someone from the Yin Talisman Sect?"

Ma Rusong nodded in affirmation.

Elder Hua looked at Ma Rusong, slightly surprised. "Merely a Second Layer?"

She secretly shook her head. The Elixir Ma Rusong had given her was Extremely Divine and Mysterious, restoring her youthful appearance. She naturally remembered this favor... However, Ma Rusong was using her favor, the favor of an Elder of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, to deal with a Second Layer ant? How unwise! She had previously had her disciples investigate his background. Ma Rusong usually acted with caution. Was he momentarily agitated and had lost his senses?

Seeing Elder Hua frown, the beautiful female disciple beside her immediately spoke, "Your Yin Talisman Sect Leader has a good relationship with our Elder. His disciples are considered our Elder’s juniors. Ma Rusong, a request like yours puts Elder Hua in a difficult position!"

Of course, what vexed this female disciple the most was that Ma Rusong was using the favor of an Elder of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect to deal with a mere Second Layer ant. This was simply laughable! Her Elder could even defeat a Fifth Layer expert...

Upon hearing this, Ma Rusong’s expression changed slightly, and he could not help but look up at Elder Hua.

Elder Hua pondered for a moment, then said, "I will always remember the favor you’ve done me. However, the target is a Yin Talisman Sect disciple, and a mere Second Layer at that... If word of this were to spread, people would say that I, Hua Yanluo, am bullying the weak!

Here’s what we’ll do: in two months, the Great Marsh Demon Suppression Valley, which is under my jurisdiction, will open. I will have my disciples invite Second and Third Layer disciples from all the cities, families, and sects within Great Marsh Prefecture to participate. At that time, I will have my disciples invite Lin Xuankong to join the Demon Slaying Conference. No one from the Yin Talisman Sect should dare to slight my disciples by refusing!"

The Demon Slaying Conference! Ma Rusong’s eyes lit up.

That Great Marsh Demon Suppression Valley, filled with treacherous swamps and teeming with demons, was a place where the nightmares and dreams of disciples from every sect intertwined. In previous Demon Slaying Conferences, although some had gained instant fame, embarked on the path to ascension, and reaped immense rewards, it was a place of nine deaths and one life. Out of a thousand elite Martial Cultivators who participated, it was difficult for even thirty to emerge alive. Lin Xuankong’s combat achievements relied solely on the Exorcism Hand Ma Jiang gave him. Consequently, he definitely couldn’t contend with experts at the Late Stage of the Second Layer or those who had reached Second Layer Perfection. He would fare even worse against Martial Cultivators at the Middle and Late Stages of the Third Layer! Most importantly, the valley harbored countless terrifying suppressed Tier Two and Tier Three demons. Even Martial Cultivators at the Mid-grade Third Layer would likely find it impossible to advance a single step within it! Lin Xuankong, you insignificant Second Layer cultivator, go ahead and revel in your current success! In two months, it will be the day you die!

"Xiaosong kowtows in gratitude to Elder Hua!" Ma Rusong, having thought this through, his eyes shining brightly, knelt and kowtowed repeatedly.

At the Mule Street Branch of the Yin Talisman Sect, Lin Xuankong stood outside the Cultivation Room, looking at Steward Xu Bei, who was instructing the disciples.

Although Steward Xu Bei’s strength was at the Mid-grade Third Layer, a significant step below Ma Jiang and Zhao Yufei, he was highly valued due to his Three-Seal Talent. One of Xu Bei’s duties was to teach disciples the Yin Talisman Technique.

What slightly irritated Lin Xuankong was that he had arrived early at the Cultivation Room today. However, Xu Bei claimed he had just begun his own cultivation and was not in sync with the progress of the current group of disciples. Xu Bei asked Lin Xuankong to wait until he finished the important task of instructing these disciples before he would impart the cultivation technique. This wait had already lasted for more than an hour!

Once the instruction was over, the numerous Yin Talisman Sect disciples who had finished their cultivation walked out. When the disciples saw Lin Xuankong, identifiable by his Jade Belt and Silver Token, standing at the entrance, their expressions turned solemn, and they bowed respectfully.

Chief Silver Jade Steward. In the entire Yin Talisman Sect, there was only one. At this moment, everyone in the Yin Talisman Sect knew of him!

After the last disciple left the Cultivation Room, Xu Bei finally walked to the entrance. He then looked at Lin Xuankong, an apologetic expression on his face. "Ah, Steward Lin, why are you still standing here? I thought you had left long ago! I was even planning to find you specifically in a little while to impart the Yin Talisman Technique to you!"

"No need to trouble Steward Xua. I can learn the cultivation technique from the Transmission Jade Butterfly myself, and I will also practice by contemplating the Visualization Jade on my own!"

Lin Xuankong glanced at Xu Bei’s hypocritical expression and walked straight towards the Transmission Jade Butterfly and the Rune Stone in the Cultivation Room.

He hadn’t stood here for an hour for nothing; he had already been carefully observing the methods the disciples used during their cultivation! Besides, with Xu Bei’s superficial apology and the underlying hostility in his eyes, how could Lin Xuankong possibly allow this man to guide his cultivation technique?
