Wangchuan Gifts Me a Cheat: Getting Stronger Every Time I Get Beaten
The seniors couldn't guess Qin Wangchuan's identity, and neither could Jiang Yan.
So he simply went to ask Qin Wangchuan about his identity in person.
However, the response received was:
"The Wen Dao Palace, the Talisman Cultivator."
Jiang Yan initially believed this, but now he doesn't.
The next morning, before dawn.
Qin Wangchuan then set off with Jiang Yan, leaving Tongtian City, accompanied only by his maid Ye Jianwei.
This aloof woman always followed quietly behind Qin Wangchuan.
The strange Red Bird was also there, tilting its head and scrutinizing Jiang Yan with its tiny eyes.
The group went straight to the neighboring Tiebei City.
Jiang Yan had assumed that after all that had happened in Tongtian City, Qin Wangchuan's trip would be incredibly grand, with a large entourage and impressive pomp.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wangchuan did not display any pomp or ceremony, but instead acted just like an ordinary Talisman Cultivator.
After paying Spirit Stone to enter the city, they found a corner, set up a table and chairs, and hung up a banner:
Common Spirit Talisman: Five Top-grade Spirit Stone
Advanced Spirit Talisman: Ten Top-grade Spirit Stone
Customized talisman: Twenty Top-grade Spirit Stone
If you can defeat this person -- Free
Jiang Yan followed the arrow at the end of the banner and saw that it was pointing directly at him!
"Eldest Brother, is this what you called... the method to become stronger?" Jiang Yan's lips twitched slightly.
Qin Wangchuan, who was organizing Talisman Paper, nodded upon hearing this. "Time is short, we must fight to sustain ourselves." He looked up at Jiang Yan, his tone calm yet undeniable. "Don't die."
Beside him, Ye Jianwei had found a clean stone to sit on, with a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) resting on his lap.
Jiujiu chirped anxiously on her shoulder, its little wings fluttering as it chirped urgently, as if protesting something.
However, Ye Jianwei aloof, ignoring the restlessness of the little bird on her shoulder, and lightly stroked the strings with her slender fingers, the Zither Music spreading out.
Before Jiang Yan could protest, heavy footsteps echoed from the ground.
A burly man, nine feet tall and with bulging muscles, strode confidently to the stall.
He carried Great Axe, as large as a door panel, on his back. The axe blade was still stained with blood, and a strong aura of menace emanated from him, clearly indicating that he had just been through a fierce battle.
The burly man's voice was like a booming bell, making people's eardrums buzz.
"Draw Talismans technique! Do you have Six-Pattern Mighty Strength Talisman?"
The Pills are divided into nine turns, Talismans are divided into ten patterns.
The more patterns a talisman has, the stronger it is.
Six patterns or more are considered advanced talismans.
"Yes." Qin Wangchuan nodded, lightly tapping the banner with his fingertip.
The burly man understood, grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth. "I'd like to offer it for free."
Qin Wangchuan gestured "please" to Jiang Yan, then spread out the Talisman Paper and began preparing the spiritual ink.
Jiang Yan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the burly man's gaze sweep over him, and quickly waved his hand, "Wait! Let me get ready!"
After saying that, he slowly began to unload his luggage, trying to delay for a moment.
However, the burly man was impatient and didn't wait for him at all.
With a loud crash, he casually tossed the Great Axe, which resembled a door panel, aside, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly sank.
Before Jiang Yan could react, the burly man pounced on him like a tiger, his thick, iron-like arms grabbing Jiang Yan around the waist!
Jiang Yan's figure is considered quite tall for an average person, but now that he is tightly held in the arms of this nine-foot-tall man, he actually looks somewhat "petite".
He struggled futilely for a moment, then felt the world spin around him—
"Boom!"
The burly man grabbed him and slammed him hard into the ground with an extremely violent throw!
Dust flew up, and a shallow, human-shaped crater was instantly smashed into the bluestone floor.
The burly man finally released his grip, dusted himself off, and got up to walk towards the Talisman Stall.
At that moment, Qin Wangchuan finished his final stroke, and Six-Pattern Mighty Strength Talisman, radiating spiritual light, was completed.
He handed out the talisman with a calm expression, as if the brief battle just now had nothing to do with him.
The burly man took the talisman, carefully sensed the surging power within, and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad! I'll come back again!"
Having said that, he picked up the Great Axe and strode away.
Jiang Yan was left lying sprawled in the pit, staring blankly at the sky, muttering, "Eldest Brother... it seems like a lot of my bones are broken..."
Qin Wangchuan raised his hand and waved it lightly, and an Emerald Green talisman flew out and accurately affixed to Jiang Yan's forehead.
A gentle yet powerful Life Energy instantly surged into his limbs and bones, and the broken bones emitted a faint "crackling" sound as they began to heal rapidly.
This kind of Healing Talisman becomes useless at slightly higher levels of cultivation, but it's just right for Jiang Yan's current level.
Looking at him like this, Qin Wangchuan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he asked:
"Did you learn anything from that battle?"
Jiang Yan rubbed his still slightly dislocated arm, thought seriously for a moment, and solemnly replied, "That person definitely hasn't showered for at least a month; the smell is too strong!"
"Puff--"
Beside him, Ye Jianwei Zither Music, who was always as aloof as snow, paused for a moment, a rare occurrence.
Although her face remained expressionless, the slight pursing of her lips betrayed her.
Qin Wangchuan, on the other hand, nodded calmly with an expression of "as expected," as if this answer was entirely within his expectations.
He really is a goofball.
Jiang Yan had just shakily crawled out of the pit, his bones still cracking under the influence of the green talisman, when he heard the heavy footsteps return.
After taking a dozen or so steps, the burly man suddenly slapped his forehead, turned around, and strode back, his voice booming. "Draw Talismans! I'm back again!"
Jiang Yan's face turned pale. Just as he was about to turn and run away, the burly man approached again like a whirlwind.
A familiar embrace, tinged with the smell of sweat and blood; a familiar dizzying sensation—
"Boom!"
Next to the shallow, human-shaped pit, a deeper pit appeared.
The burly man took the second talisman, weighed it in his hand with satisfaction, and said, "Not bad! I'll come back again!"
"Eldest Brother!" Jiang Yan, lying in the pit, felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and couldn't help but cry out, "I can't take it anymore!"
Seeing this, Qin Wangchuan calmly picked up his talisman brush and added a line of small characters at the end of the banner:
"One time per day only."
The burly man clicked his tongue in disappointment upon seeing the new rules, but didn't argue further.
He simply gazed deeply at Jiang Yan, his eyes burning as if to say:
"Kid, I'll deal with you tomorrow!"
After the scoundrel had gone far away, Jiang Yan crawled out of the pit, grimacing. He felt like every inch of his body was covered in wounds, and he looked at Qin Wangchuan with resentment.
"Eldest Brother... at least... at least let me learn the techniques you gave me, right? This beating is never going to end..."
Qin Wangchuan looked up at him, his tone calm but getting straight to the point. "You can start learning now."
"Since you want to find your mother on your own, let me ask you, are you strong enough right now?"
These words struck Jiang Yan like a thunderbolt, instantly erasing the smile and grievance on his face, and his expression became more serious than ever before.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily:
"I understand... Thank you for the guidance, Eldest Brother."
After saying that, he stopped complaining and sat down cross-legged on the uneven ground. Enduring the pain all over his body, he began to try to comprehend the book "Wanjie Thunder Furnace".
Of course, he didn't dare to immerse himself completely in it; he also had to keep an eye on his surroundings.
After all, if you are suddenly attacked while practicing your internal energy, you could Qi Deviation.
