The Wu Family and Talisman Master Inheritance

Zhang Wan had also heard of Elder Wu's name.

He was a Prenatal realm expert who presided over Fengliu Commandery, where the Beginner Martial Arts Academy was located. He was a veteran Prenatal expert of the Jade Bone Sect.

The entire Fengliu Commandery was under Elder Wu's jurisdiction.

Not only was his personal strength formidable, but he had also used himself as a core to develop a Prenatal family, the Wu Family.

The Wu Family was entrenched in Fengliu Commandery and was the undisputed overlord of the region.

Although there were sect rules and Elder Wu's restraint, when a family grew large, there would always be some scoundrels who would come into conflict of interest with other martial artists.

In the past, with Elder Wu around, no one dared to target the Wu Family. They could only swallow their resentment.

But now that Elder Wu had passed away and the Wu Family had no more Prenatal experts, the grudges accumulated in the past would erupt instantly.

Coupled with the experts who coveted the resources occupied by the Wu Family, the entire Fengliu Commandery would be in turmoil.

On the surface, with the Jade Bone Sect suppressing things, there wouldn't be too much chaos, but there would definitely be many hidden clashes and killings.

After hearing the news of Elder Wu's passing, Zhang Wan immediately sensed the danger and decided to stay at the academy and not go out for the time being.

He didn't want to get caught up in it and suffer collateral damage.

But the next moment, the news that the Wu Family intended to sell off treasures from their clan sparked a desire in Zhang Wan to leave the academy.

The treasures accumulated by a Prenatal family for over a hundred years were truly tempting.

Magic tools, talismans, formations, and various inheritances were precisely what Zhang Wan urgently needed now.

If he could complete them, Zhang Wan wanted to do so as soon as possible.

And as a Prenatal family, the Wu Family must have collected many high-quality treasures over the past century.

If he could obtain one or two, it would be of great benefit to Zhang Wan.

"I shouldn't even think about those powerful magic tools, talismans, and formations. With my current wealth, I can't afford them."

"But I can try to get my hands on some inheritances."

Inheritances were different from magic tools, talismans, and formations. They could be infinitely replicated and sold repeatedly.

Especially common inheritances that were widely circulated would be much cheaper than those treasured by various factions and strictly forbidden from being passed on.

Zhang Wan wasn't without hope of obtaining one.

He wanted many inheritances, but at this stage, his most desired inheritance was that of a Talisman Master.

Earlier, he had already set his plan to become a Spirit Planter and a Talisman Master.

The skill of a Spirit Planter could be used to earn spirit stones, while the skill of a Talisman Master could be used to kill enemies and protect himself!

On the surface, he would walk the martial path as a Spirit Planter, while secretly maintaining his identity as a Talisman Master. If someone were to target him in the future, he could pull out a large number of talismans and catch his opponent off guard!

Zhang Wan wasn't worried at all that he couldn't become a Talisman Master.

With EXP, as long as he obtained a Talisman Master inheritance, he could become an excellent Talisman Master in minutes.

Therefore, Zhang Wan had always wanted to acquire a Talisman Master inheritance, preferably in a way that no one would know.

Of course, if there was no opportunity, Zhang Wan wouldn't insist on obtaining it secretly. Obtaining it from the sect's Inheritance Hall was also an option.

However, it would be difficult to keep it a secret that way.

With the Jade Bone Sect's Inheritance Hall's practices, it was easy to obtain incomplete inheritances, but it wasn't so easy to obtain complete ones.

At the very least, he would need to demonstrate his Talisman Master abilities to have a chance of obtaining the subsequent inheritance.

If there were no other options, Zhang Wan wouldn't want to obtain inheritances from the sect.

Buying from the market was also an option.

But Yunmeng Market was just a small market. Most of the people who came and went were Postnatal martial artists. There weren't many good things inside, and those that were there were all in the shops opened by the sect.

But Zhang Wan didn't have any secret methods to conceal his aura or change his appearance. Going to the shops opened by the sect to buy an inheritance was almost no different from buying an inheritance in the Inheritance Hall.

Other markets were too far away, and Zhang Wan couldn't go there in a short period.

The Wu Family's situation was a perfect opportunity.

Although the Wu Family's martial artists were all disciples of the Jade Bone Sect.

But the Wu Family was not the Jade Bone Sect's Inheritance Hall, nor was it a shop opened by the sect. They couldn't possibly have too much information about the sect's disciples.

He didn't need to change his aura. With a little disguise, he could prevent the Wu Family from knowing who bought the inheritance from them.

Of course, it was unrealistic to completely deceive the eyes of the Wu Family's martial artists. They wouldn't be able to distinguish the aura of the Bronze Iron Body cultivation technique.

But as long as the Wu Family couldn't confirm his identity, it would be fine.

"The cultivation resources issued by the sect, the spirit stones won from arena wagered battles, plus the spirit stones earned from selling pseudo spirit plants."

"Currently, I have a total of fifty low-grade spirit stones on hand."

"I can indeed try to go to the Wu Family to purchase a common Postnatal Talisman Master inheritance."

Zhang Wan was tempted.

But he didn't rush to act.

He first learned about the Wu family's current situation from others.

It turned out that the Wu family planned to sell the treasures accumulated over the years to raise spirit stones, so that they could purchase Prenatal Pills for the Postnatal ninth-level martial artists in the family.

With their only Prenatal realm expert fallen, if no new Prenatal realm expert emerged in the family in the short term, the Wu family would inevitably fall from being a Prenatal family, no matter what they did.

Coupled with past grievances, the Wu family would inevitably lose a group of people then.

For the prosperity of the family and for their own safety, the Wu family was desperately trying to cultivate a Prenatal realm expert, even if it meant emptying their coffers.

Zhang Wan wasn't optimistic about the Wu family. Even when Elder Wu was around, he couldn't cultivate another Prenatal realm expert. Without Elder Wu, the difficulty would only increase.

Not to mention anything else, the difficulty of obtaining a Prenatal Pill would skyrocket!

However, this had nothing to do with Zhang Wan. In fact, it was better for him that the Wu family was doing this.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for him to obtain a Talisman Master inheritance.

After understanding the Wu family's situation, Zhang Wan immediately began to act.

He found an afternoon, left the academy, found a secluded spot to disguise himself, and headed straight for Fengliu Commandery City.

The Beginner Martial Arts Academy was within the jurisdiction of Fengliu Commandery, but it was located in the suburbs, a short distance from the commandery city, though not too far.

Zhang Wan used the Nine Step Movement Technique, covering over ten meters in an instant. In half an hour, he arrived at the shop opened by the Wu family.

The Wu family had already released news about selling their family treasures, and the entrance to the Wu family's shop was currently surrounded by interested martial artists.

There were rogue cultivators and disciples of the Jade Bone Sect.

Zhang Wan determined that there were fellow disciples inside by sensing their mana.

Zhang Wan was too familiar with the mana of the sect's ten great Prenatal inheritances.

During arena wagered battles, he had fought many fellow disciples who practiced different inheritances.

Zhang Wan looked over, and his mouth twitched.

Many fellow disciples, like him, had disguised their appearance and clothing, even though they hadn't hidden their mana aura.

"Everyone is a schemer!" Zhang Wan thought to himself.

Upon entering the shop, he was greeted by a Wu family martial artist, who gave Zhang Wan a booklet listing the treasures the Wu family was selling and their prices.

They didn't look down on him just because Zhang Wan was only at the Postnatal second-level.

The Wu family was currently raising spirit stones, and anyone who came to buy treasures was a distinguished guest of the Wu family!

Zhang Wan quickly flipped through the booklet and soon found what he was looking for.
