Mu Fan: "The Outside World Is Too Frightening"

"I was planning to come and see if there was anything I could do to help my senior."

As they were talking, Xiao Ye arrived.

Mu Fan's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled:

"Then you've come to the right place."

He had been thinking about how to get his junior brother to help him draw the talisman.

The opportunity has arrived!

Mu Fan stood up and led Xiao Ye into the house.

He then told Xiao Ye about the Explosive Flame Talisman and personally demonstrated it for him.

After listening, Xiao Ye looked at the talisman in his hand, a hint of doubt on his face:

"Senior brother needs so many Explosive Flame Talisman, why not use higher-level talismans of the same attribute?"

The Explosive Flame Talisman is Spirit Rank talisman, while this talisman paper is Saint Rank, making it perfectly suitable for crafting Saint Rank talismans.

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan fell silent for a moment.

He wanted to, but the difficulty of creating Saint Rank talismans was simply too great.

Those who want to personally draw the Saint Rank will have to wait at least a while longer.

At this moment, Mu Fan's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Xiao Ye, saying:

"Junior brother, you wouldn't have already mastered making Saint Rank talismans, would you?"

Think about how Xiao Ye has worked hard ever since he came.

It seems quite possible?!

Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and said:

"Perhaps I can give it a try. Would you please teach me, senior brother?"

While speaking, he didn't forget to ask the system:

"Tongtong, confirm if my senior brother can use the specially simplified talisman drawing method?"

"Don't worry, young master, you are fellow disciples, this is fine."

This time, completing the mission resulted in two special simplifications.

Thinking about how much my senior brother had helped me during the mission, it would be too inadequate to just express my gratitude verbally.

It's rather unexpected that my senior brother can use something that has been specially simplified.

Afterwards, Xiao Ye chose a fire-attribute talisman that would be most useful to Mu Fan and began to practice it.

This is a waiting process.

For a system, simplify first, then learn.

For Xiao Ye, it was simply a matter of putting on a show of practicing.

"Could it be that Junior Brother can draw it on his first try?" Mu Fan murmured to himself, looking at Xiao Ye.

Perhaps because the talisman is of a higher grade, the progress this time is significantly slower.

Finally, the progress bar is full.

"You've learned it!"

Xiao Ye's system voice rang out.

"Tongtong, use a special simplification on the Earth Explosion Talisman to reduce the difficulty of cultivation."

"Special simplification in progress..."

What followed was another long wait.

Finally, the special simplification was completed.

Xiao Ye then took the talisman-making brush.

Then, under Mu Fan's watchful gaze, they began to fight.

The entire process, from the initial stroke to the movement of the brush, was incredibly smooth.

The power energy was aroused by Xiao Ye's movements, frantically converging into the talisman, and then, under the control of the talisman brush, remaining within it.

When Xiao Ye stopped moving and lifted the brush from the talisman paper, the talisman paper trembled slightly, and the internal power stabilized.

"What the hell?!"

Mu Fan stared at Xiao Ye with a look of utter disbelief.

This is terrifying.

This talisman of this caliber was actually successfully drawn on the very first try?

Moreover, although the drawing method was different from what I knew, it felt significantly easier.

What kind of monster is this?!

Shocked, Mu Fan couldn't help but glance at the storage ring on Xiao Ye's hand.

Could it be that the old man helped?

Or perhaps, the big shot was reincarnated and is now employed again?!

But no matter what.

This is truly astonishing.

"That's outrageous! Looking at it this way, even with a system, I can't compare."

A sigh escaped his lips, his emotions a mixture of feelings:

"As expected, the plan was right. We should only emerge when we are strong enough. This world is too terrifying."

"Senior brother."

At this moment, Xiao Ye spoke:

"These are some thoughts I had just had; I don't know if you'll find them useful."

As they spoke, he handed over a jade talisman.

Xiao Ye put it away, and then the two chatted about other things before Xiao Ye left.

"Let me see what my junior brother has learned."

Mu Fan took out the jade talisman and prepared to study it.

A flash of light, and a flood of information entered Mu Fan's mind.

At the same time, light surged onto Mu Fan's hands.

After examining it for a while, Mu Fan's face showed a look of understanding but not quite:

"That's quite interesting..."

As he spoke, Mu Fan took out a talisman and began to try it out.

A short while later, facing the completed talisman, Mu Fan's face showed a hint of surprise:

"Huh... how did I know that?!"

Star Moon Holy Land.

"Has anyone found out who was impersonating my Star Moon Holy Land that day?" Min Qianlan asked the elders present.

"We haven't investigated yet, but based on the information we've gathered from the Azure Cloud Sect, these people in disguise have definitely made thorough preparations, and the martial arts they've used are all quite well-known in our Holy Land," an elder said.

An elder pondered for a moment:

"The Dongfang Clan is not weak. To do that to them is something no ordinary force could do. It could be any force in the Three Realms."

" In the Northern Region, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land was unable to withdraw that day, and the Extreme Arms Holy Land might be able to, but that's not their style of doing things," an elder said.

"That leaves only the Western Region and the Southern Region. Both of these are possibilities." An elder nodded.

"Those bald monks from the Buddhist Order may not be the ones who do things cleanly, but this matter is unlikely to be their doing. The large number of them heading to the Flower Spirit Sect in the Eastern Region recently probably indicates they don't want to attract too much attention."

Min Qianlan remained silent as she listened to the discussion.

His gaze, however, was directed towards the Southern Region. After a long while, he spoke softly:

"In these chaotic times, the overlord of the Southern Region is rather unusually quiet."

The discussion quieted down.

This is actually the most likely scenario.

The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, with its vast territory and long-standing rule, could not be won by force alone.

In matters of strategy, the Great Zhou Dynasty is the best.

Unfortunately, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty was not lacking in military strength.

As early as a thousand years ago, there were rumors that a powerful figure in the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had already taken the step of becoming Saint King, becoming the only Saint King in the Land of the Four Directions after Saint King Chen Fangyuan, after thousands of years.

Although the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty later came forward to clarify, it only made things worse.

Although there are no plans for expansion, it is currently causing concern among numerous forces.

How much time has passed since then?

Even if such a force really did it, what's the point of discussing it?

"Release the information that this was not done by our Star Moon Holy Land, and clarify the matter."

"The rest, let's wait and see."

Min Qianlan spoke, then gave an order:

"Take what you can from the Azure Cloud Sect; don't leave anything for them."

The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Buddhist Order monks have dispatched a large number of them to the sphere of influence of the Flower Spirit Sect in the Eastern Region. Strange phenomena have been occurring underground within the Flower Spirit Sect for several days."

"There are spatial fluctuations within the territory of Cloud Forest City, suggesting the possible appearance of a secret realm."

"Deep within a mine in the Eastern Three Spiritual Veins, miners have accidentally unearthed an array. According to those who went to investigate, the array is at least at the Saint Tier, and is very likely the work of Saint King Chen Fangyuan. We have requested that someone more proficient in Dao of Formations be sent to observe it."
