Talismans and Incantations, Martial Arts Supreme

The courtyard where Jiang Changsheng lived also had four rooms, so it wasn't difficult to accommodate the Devil Master and Jian Xin. Dragon Arising Temple often had guests staying temporarily, so it wasn't a problem. Usually, only the two little ones, Wan Li and Ming Yue, came to find him, making it easy to keep hidden.

Anyway, Qingxu Taoist Priest already knew that the Devil Master had been subdued by him, so it wouldn't be difficult to have Qingxu Taoist Priest arrange an identity.

Jian Xin also needed to recuperate. Jiang Changsheng went into the house to get her medicine. Looking at the Devil Master dressed in a Taoist robe, her expression was complicated, but she didn't say anything. She took the medicine bottle and went to the next room.

The Devil Master laughed and said, "This woman is not bad, better than most men. The Devil Sect killed people for several nights, and she was the only one from the White-Clothed Guard who came."

The White-Clothed Guard was established in the second year of the emperor's reign, directly under the emperor's control. No one knew the exact number. They handled intelligence, capture, assassination, escort, and other tasks. In more than a decade, the White-Clothed Guard had captured countless martial arts experts, including the Ghost Eye Evil King, so they were famous in the martial world.

Great Jing's White-Clothed, protecting the country and its people!

These words inspired countless passionate young men and women to join, but the White-Clothed Guard's assessment was extremely strict. Those who could stand out were at least First-Rate Experts.

Jiang Changsheng nodded slightly, and then sat down in the house to practice his cultivation.

He didn't avoid suspicion, because the Devil Master couldn't possibly steal his Dao Follows Nature Skill just by looking at it.

The Devil Sect had lost more than half of its members, and the Devil Master was missing. The remaining disciples also fled Jing City one after another. Of course, some unlucky ones were caught by the Imperial Guards. The crisis in Jing City was finally over, and what remained was the plague, which would take time.

In this ancient world, the best way to deal with the plague was to imprison the infected. When they died, their clothes would be burned, and the plague would naturally end. This was also limited by the times.

Although Jiang Changsheng had learned the Spring and Autumn Medical Canon, he did not have a heart to heal the world and save people. He didn't want to go down the mountain.

He had wronged the emperor. He originally thought that the plague was man-made, but the Devil Master said that it was not. It was just that the plague broke out, and they took the opportunity to act.

That night, Jing City returned to peace.

The next morning, Jiang Changsheng practiced his cultivation in the courtyard, leading White Dragon to absorb the essence of the sun and moon.

[Kaiyuan 18th year, the Devil Sect wreaked havoc in Jing City. Relying on your own strength, you successfully survived the calamity and obtained a survival reward - the spell 'Jade Purity Severing Meridian Needle']

Seeing this line of text, Jiang Changsheng smiled.

When the plague ended, he should be able to get another reward.

He began to inherit the Jade Purity Severing Meridian Needle. This spell was not used for medical treatment, but for killing enemies. It used true qi to form needles, which, when entering the body, would sever the meridians, making it extremely overbearing.

Overall, this spell did not allow Jiang Changsheng to be reborn.

Jiang Changsheng summarized it. The more dangerous the calamity was for him, the greater the reward. Like the Dao Follows Nature Skill, he had no power when he was born, which was the most dangerous time.

As he became stronger and stronger, the danger should become lower and lower, which was also good.

If he really achieved immortality, then what he had to pursue was absolute invincibility.

As long as he was invincible, he could do whatever he wanted!

He still couldn't see through this world. It was hard to say who was the strongest in Great Jing. According to the Devil Master, there were many Martial Arts Grandmasters and grandmasters, and even more talented rising stars. Jiang Changsheng still needed to work hard.

The invincibility he pursued was not one-on-one invincibility, but that if the whole world was against him, he could beat the whole world by himself. That was true invincibility!

This world was not just the Great Jing Dynasty. The world was vast, and martial arts were boundless. Who knew how many more experts there were!

Perhaps cultivating to become an immortal would make him invincible!

While Jiang Changsheng was thinking, he began to practice the Jade Purity Severing Meridian Needle.

At this moment, the door of the next room was pushed open, and Jian Xin came out. She changed into a Taoist robe, her long hair was loose, and it turned out to be a pretty face. If not a beauty that could topple a nation, she was still of superior quality.

Her left arm was wrapped in cloth, and it would be difficult to heal in a short time.

She saw Jiang Changsheng and was slightly lost in thought.

This was the first time she had carefully observed Jiang Changsheng in broad daylight.

The first time she saw Jiang Changsheng, she was amazed, but the current Jiang Changsheng had the otherworldly temperament of an enlightened master, as if he would ascend to immortality at any moment in the sunlight.

Jian Xin suddenly noticed a white snake on Jiang Changsheng's shoulder. The white snake seemed to sense her gaze and crawled down his body towards her.

Seeing this snake, Jian Xin got goosebumps. She was most afraid of snakes in her life.

"White Dragon, don't get close to her in the future."

Jiang Changsheng's voice sounded, he felt Jian Xin's fear.

Upon hearing this, White Dragon could only turn its head, but it kept looking back at Jian Xin from time to time, which made Jian Xin feel absurd.

Is this snake intelligent?

Jiang Changsheng did not open his eyes and said, "You should heal your injuries first. After you recover, I will teach you how to become stronger."

Jian Xin nodded respectfully.

The sky was azure, without a cloud in sight. A large river flowed between the mountains, and a huge ship was moving forward, followed by dozens of wooden boats, all filled with White-Clothed Guards and Imperial Guards.

Jiang Yuan, wearing a dragon robe, stood at the bow of the ship. The river wind blew his graying temples. A White-Clothed Guard leaped onto the deck, quickly came behind him, knelt on one knee, and offered a roll of letters with both hands.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand, with his back to the White-Clothed Guard, and used his power to draw the letter into his palm. He began to read the letter.

After he finished reading, he gathered true qi in his palms, crushing the letter into paper scraps, which flew into the river.

Jiang Yuan put his hands behind his back, but did not speak.

The White-Clothed Guard waited for a while, then quietly left.

Afterward, Crown Prince Jiang Qian and Second Prince Jiang Ming came and saluted Jiang Yuan from behind.

"Father, your son and second brother made a bet. He said that the Martial Recruitment Order you issued could attract a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and your son bet that it wouldn't, and at most it would attract several Peerless Experts."

Jiang Qian said with a smile, in a very good mood.

Jiang Yuan turned halfway, looked at him sideways, and asked with a smile, "Oh? You think I won't catch the eye of a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"

Jiang Qian shook his head and said, "Naturally not, it's just that if a Martial Arts Grandmaster-level existence enters the court, the martial world will definitely reject it. Compared to fame and fortune, they care more about their status in the martial world."

Jiang Ming scoffed and said, "The Great Jing Dynasty is not the Chu Dynasty. We have the ambition to swallow the world. This is just the beginning. When Great Jing annexes other dynasties, the Great Jing martial world can also expand its territory. Joining us early will lead to a higher status in the future."

Jiang Qian replied, "That's an ideal state. Thinking from the present, from reality, it's difficult for anyone to dare to bet."

Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel again, Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "Alright, you're giving me a headache."

The two brothers immediately shut up, not daring to say more.

Jiang Yuan stared at them and said, "You two, one is rational and clear-headed, but underestimates the power of martial artists, and the other values martial arts too much, but is too arrogant. If the advantages of you two could be combined, that would be great."

Jiang Qian said with a smile, "Father's teachings are correct. Speaking of which, seventh brother has gathered the advantages of both of us. Although he is young, he has been practicing martial arts in the holy land. When he came back last year, he had matured a lot."

Jiang Ming frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Jiang Yuan turned his head, looked ahead, and said, "Seventh is good, but unfortunately too young. There's no way the throne will fall to him."

Jiang Qian couldn't force a smile, not understanding what his imperial father meant.

Jiang Ming became excited and said, "Father, since the founding of the dynasty, the martial world has revived. Those hidden sects have successively opened their mountains to accept disciples. Next month, at Gathering Pine Lake south of the river, they will compete for the title of Martial Arts Supreme. Would Father be willing to go and see?"

Jiang Qian frowned and said, "Absolutely not! Martial arts experts will gather, it's too dangerous!"

Jiang Yuan stroked his beard and smiled, "I am the Son of Heaven, the Kaiyuan Great Emperor who unified thirteen provinces. How can I fear the people of the martial world? Then let's go to Gathering Pine Lake!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming smiled even more triumphantly.

Two months passed, and the time for the transition between autumn and winter was approaching.

The plague in Jing City had also completely disappeared.

[In the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, a plague broke out in Jing City. You stayed on the mountain for a long time, avoiding the disaster, and received a survival reward - miscellaneous art 'Talismans and Incantations']

A line of text suddenly appeared before Jiang Changsheng's eyes. Without much thought, he directly began to inherit the Talismans and Incantations.

Talismans and Incantations can imprint spells into talisman paper and incantations. This is a very good technique. In the future, he can make magic talisman paper and give it to his subordinates to use, which can also save their lives.

Not bad, not bad!

After inheriting the memories of Talismans and Incantations, Jiang Changsheng stood up, walked out of the house, and came to the courtyard.

The Devil Master was practicing under the tree, while Jian Xin was practicing her sword not far away. Their injuries had almost healed, thanks to Jiang Changsheng's pills.

Seeing Jiang Changsheng appear, Jian Xin sheathed her sword and quickly came to him, bowing in salute.

The Devil Master followed suit, opening his eyes and also coming to salute.

His eyes were full of anticipation. Although he hadn't learned anything in the two months they had spent together, he could feel that Jiang Changsheng was indeed extraordinary. Even the snake he kept understood human nature.

Jiang Changsheng said, "Now that your injuries have healed, starting today, I will impart a unique skill to each of you."

Hearing this, the two gratefully thanked him.

Jiang Changsheng decided to teach the Mystic Inner Overlord Body to the Devil Master and the Jade Purity Severing Meridian Needle to Jian Xin. As for immortal cultivation techniques, it was temporarily impossible to teach them.

He would never do something that would lead to the apprentice starving the master.

Seven days later, Jiang Changsheng finished teaching. The rest required their own efforts, while he needed to spend his time on his own cultivation.

Cultivating a force was only the second goal; the first goal must be his own cultivation.

The fifth level of the Dao Follows Nature Skill was imperative and could not be delayed!

He could easily defeat a Heavenly Connection expert with the power of the fourth level of the skill, but he would not slack off.

Another half month passed.

Chen Li came to visit. Jiang Changsheng had the Devil Master hide in his room, not to be seen.

Jiang Changsheng, Jian Xin, and Chen Li gathered in the house.

Chen Li looked weak, but when he saw that Hua Jianxin had recovered from her injuries, he couldn't help but smile, though his smile was forced.

"His Majesty is about to return to Jing City. Although His Majesty has been somewhat absurd in recent years, the might of the True Dragon still remains. This trip to South of the River, in addition to inspecting the people's sentiments and pursuing immortals... His Majesty has actually won over the new Martial Arts Grandmaster. The Martial Arts Grandmaster will return to Jing City with His Majesty, so there is no need to worry about the Devil Sect attacking in the future."

Speaking of the Martial Arts Grandmaster, Chen Li was very excited. The power of the Devil Sect had deeply stimulated him. If it hadn't been for the Chen family's protection during this time, he would have died long ago.

Jiang Changsheng asked curiously, "Martial Arts Grandmaster? Is he very strong? How many moves can the Devil Master withstand under his hands?"

"How many moves? The Martial Arts Grandmaster is naturally stronger than the Devil Master, but saying 'how many moves' is too insulting to the Devil Master."

Chen Li said helplessly, looking at Hua Jianxin.

Hua Jianxin nodded and said, "The Devil Master is indeed powerful. It's normal that Changsheng Taoist Priest doesn't know since he never goes down the mountain."
