Chapter 437: Chapter 106 Teacher’s Kindness_3

After that, Xu Shu was embroiled in a battle of wits with Tailed Ksitigarbha and had no time to check messages.

"So she already told me back then that she’d make a talisman for me, huh."

Xu Shu’s eyes lit up, relieved that he didn’t have to ask again.

However, the most urgent task at hand was to trick her into accepting the "Bloodline Kinship" Curse Seal he’d prepared.

That was actually quite simple; Xu Shu naturally had a clever plan.

He typed rapidly with both hands, quickly sending a message:

"Good evening, have you gone to sleep yet? Something urgent has come up. Quick."

After sending it, Xu Shu received no reply for several minutes, so he began to mimic others, constantly typing the same phrase:

"Quick! Quick! Quick!" *555!

As long as Xie Xiaochan hadn’t turned on Do Not Disturb mode, it should be fine.

----

In the northern borders, within the Female Void Palace at the Disciple Residence, Xie Xiaochan was sprawled asleep in a pink-themed boudoir, the constant buzzing vibration incessantly nagging her.

At first, she scratched herself haphazardly, trying to feign sleep, but the persistent and annoying buzzing eventually forced her to get up, her face flushing with irritation from her earlobes to her neck, as she angrily activated the device.

"I want to see who dares to disturb my sleep in the dead of night!"

With her eyes glowing red, Xie Xiaochan saw Xu Shu’s message as soon as she turned the device on.

Her expression froze slightly, and upon recalling certain things, her anger subsided considerably.

"Ignoring me for days, I was about to overcome this demonic barrier, and now he suddenly does this?" Xie Xiaochan bit her lower lip, flipping past dozens of "Quick" messages, she saw the abrupt sentence at the top.

With no alternative, she replied with a feigned air of aloofness, "What do you want?"

On the other side.

Having succeeded, Xu Shu let out a sigh of relief before typing his carefully considered message:

"Two things, the second is to ask you for a favor, to make a Second Rank purple talisman."

Xie Xiaochan was taken aback: "A Second Rank purple talisman? That requires a Second Rank Erosion Crystal of the same quality, you know. Although I agreed not to charge you for the labor, you’re not thinking of freeloading the materials from me, are you?"

Xu Shu said, "Of course not, the materials are on me; I’ll provide an Erosion Crystal."

"Impressive that you got your hands on such a fine item. Oh, I see, you’re looking to advance to Second Rank, right?"—Xie Xiaochan.

"You got it. How long will it take to make? I’m still waiting for your invitation to explore the ruins together," Xu Shu applied the sweetener policy.

Xie Xiaochan, still naive, was indeed fooled: "Wow, you’re somewhat conscientious not to have forgotten. Okay, then, leave it to me; once I have the main material, it’ll take at most two hours. But let’s get this straight, no charge this time, but if you hire me again in the future, I’ll be charging more. What’s the other matter?"

Finished in a few hours?

Quite efficient...

Xu Shu stroked his chin, continuing to type: "The other matter, I will send you something later. My teacher has predicted an imminent bloody disaster for you, only this can save you. Sigh, to help you, it’s cost me quite a bit, so you must keep it a secret for me."

When Xu Shu mentioned keeping a secret, he wasn’t actually worried about her spilling the beans; with Wang Teng in the picture, he had a significant level of control over Xie Xiaochan.

As for how that control worked, that was not a suitable topic of conversation, an experience only to be felt in legend.

While he was on this side, smug about his "control power," Xie Xiaochan on the other end woke up from her nap with a start.

She had indeed been feeling off lately; could there really be an impending calamity?

Cultivators hold fate in high regard, and her heart immediately lifted with concern as she hastily asked, "What disaster do you speak of? And who is your teacher?" — Xie Xiaochan.

Xu Shu feigned a mysterious tone, "I’m afraid I can’t tell you about my teacher’s identity. He is a big shot in the Extraordinary World, and knowing it would scare you. Anyway, before dawn, I will send something to you. Remember to pick it up in time at the Star Tower teleportation point, and please also make sure to prepare the talisman for me in a timely manner and mail it back the same way you received it. Which district are you in again?"

He had an incense burner, with two pieces of sandalwood, which could be used to send and receive items once on the spot—just perfect for collecting the completed artifacts.

"D2B9 district, but who is your teacher, really? Does he know me?" Xie Xiaochan was itching with curiosity, hating to be kept in suspense like this.

Having received the "delivery address," Xu Shu sent another message: "Your cooperation will save you. Oh, and a friendly reminder, no matter what happens, please make sure not to open the parcel casually or show it to anyone else, or you would suffer great harm. As for the usage of this life-saving straw, when you experience severe pain in your body tomorrow, simply place this item on your stomach as a warming pad."

Xie Xiaochan was baffled, "??? A warming pad? And why will I be in severe pain tomorrow? Be clearer in your explanation!"

"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed. Remember to go to the Star Tower to retrieve the package, otherwise even my teacher can’t save you!" — Gu Pan.

Having played the part of the sage, Xu Shu stopped replying. He was confident that Xie Xiaochan would go.

Seeing that day was about to break, he quickly went to the rooftop to an open space, set up the incense burner, and lit one of the sandalwood pieces.

Amidst the curling smoke, an invisible vibration descended directly from the high skies, spreading light before Xu Shu’s eyes.

[You have selected a Star Tower tour, requesting authorization from Lie Zhenzi...]

[Lie Zhenzi authorization successful, building a temporary launch device for your tour...]

[Warning, this tour can only transport inanimate objects, please adhere strictly to this rule...]

[Construction successful, generating a disposable flying device...]

[Success.]

[Please choose your destination!]

Swipe!

A radar-like pattern appeared in the smoke, creating a temporary delivery launch platform resembling a small rocket launcher.

"Indeed, it’s somewhat similar to when I flew directly from the ruins back to the Star Tower."

"The teleportation provided by Lie Zhenzi naturally doesn’t need to be discussed for its safety."

Xu Shu chose his destination on the virtual pattern, then wrapped the Second-order Erosion Crystal he got from Lance and the newly made "Bloodline Bond" Curse Seal in some tattered bed sheets he found nearby, tightly sealed them, and labeled the outside with "To Xie Xiaochan of the Female Void Palace."

After a long wait, when the night had reached its darkest before dawn, Xu Shu finally stuffed the "express parcel" into the light-material rocket, watching it soar into the sky and vanish from sight.

Subsequently, he tidied up the site and swiftly returned to the first floor to find Gu Pan and mumbled a few words to her.

Her eyes grew wider and wider: "You mean, you’re going to cultivate now? You can get Second Rank materials directly through cultivation???"

At this moment, Gu Pan was utterly stunned.

By now, she had completely changed her view of Xu Shu’s Esoteric Buddhism scriptures, no longer seeing them as deceitful Cult scripts but as works of genuine knowledge and skill.

But isn’t this a bit too outrageous?

How could materials just be cultivated by you? Be realistic, you’re starting to act more and more like a delusional Cultist!

However, the next moment, after Xu Shu made a request to her, he saw a glimmer of dawn in the east and then headed to a corner to sit down and start meditating.

Gu Pan followed to try and persuade him further, but suddenly, her body shivered and she said, "Wait, wait a second! You wait, let me..."

Before she could finish, puffs of smoke began emerging from the spot, and then, right before her eyes, Xu Shu disappeared without a trace.

— Legendary mode, continue the legend, activation on the spot!
