"Consider this Gourd Sword Skill a loan to him."
When we meet again in the coming days, he must repay me with the heads of one hundred thousand demons.
This vow Miao Zhong always kept in mind; it was also the agreement that allowed him to fight his way from Bai Wu to Yang Mountain. Even if Qi Xiu hadn't set such a goal for him, he would still do his utmost to eradicate demons, to repay Qi Xiu for his support and the transmission of the technique.
Just as The Scatter Talisman Taoist's reputation grew more and more prominent in Dianchuan, and his position on the must-kill list of the Demonic Evil Cultivators kept rising, the instigator of it all, The Scatter Talisman Taoist himself, Qi Xiu, was adeptly pulling out a stack of fresh Cloud Seal Talismans from his robe and stuffing them into the hands of a young monk with an innocent face.
"Here, take these. Your cultivation is too low, little monk. Be more careful when you hunt demons and subjugate evil in the future."
In the blink of an eye, Qi Xiu had been giving away talismans for over a month. And from initially doing it just to conveniently acquire Human Path Merit, he gradually underwent a transformation. Watching those slim figures draw their swords, wading through blood to fight demons, seeing the smug, jeering faces of the Demonic Evil Cultivators, a part of him couldn't help but be touched.
Oh well, giving one is giving, and giving two is the same.
Therefore, he started to relax the requirements for those he gave talismans to. Under the scrutiny of the Observing Qi Skill, as long as they were not of ill intent, upon meeting them, they would receive anywhere from a few to several dozen talismans. He would hand them out and leave, not even bothering to leave his name.
There was no helping it; the production power of Talisman Scripts under Sixth Realm Calligraphy was truly terrifying. And he possessed the Divine Marvel of painting. If he ran out of talisman paper, he could gather and create more using Cloud Seal Talismans on the spot.
Thus, if he wished, he could transform into a Talisman Script production line right then and there. He could make as many as he wanted!
Staring blankly at the thick stack of Talisman Scripts in his hands, the little monk suddenly seemed to remember something, pointing at Qi Xiu with a look of surprise, "You, you, you are the rumored Scatter Talisman Taoist?"
"Huh? Scatter Talisman? Daoist?"
Engrossed in the delightful cycle of gifting Talisman Scripts and reaping Human Path Merit, Qi Xiu had long stopped paying attention to the internal news of Dianchuan. He was completely unaware that he had acquired the peculiar title of The Scatter Talisman Taoist.
Qi Xiu looked puzzled, about to ask, when suddenly his eyes narrowed.
There's a Great Demon nearby.
And not just one!
With a stern look, Qi Xiu swept up the little monk, still clueless, into his Spirit Pill pouch. Ordinary Magic Artifacts couldn't contain living beings, and the Golden Cry Jade Beads were no exception. But the Spirit Pill pouch was the complete opposite. Apart from living beings, nothing else could be placed inside.
"Scatter Talisman Taoist! Finally, we've found you."
"Hahaha! To search tirelessly and find nothing, only for you to fall into our laps! Capturing you will earn us a handsome reward!"
"Brothers, be careful when you move against him. This kid has many Talisman Scripts; he's not easy to deal with."
"Rest assured, I've brought the Magic Artifact bestowed by our ancestor. All Talisman Scripts will be rendered ineffective. Capturing this fiend will be as easy as flipping one's hand."
The overpowering Demonic Poison Cloud swept in, instantly turning the hundred-li radius dark and gloomy. A strong gust of sinister wind rose, and its putrid stench caused vast swaths of forest vegetation to turn yellow and wither.
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP!
The earth shook violently as four towering demons, over a hundred meters tall with demonic energy piercing the sky like mountains, descended from the heavens! In an instant, waves of soil surged, and dust storms raged.
The four massive figures firmly encircled Qi Xiu. Their eyes, glowing like bright red lanterns, shot out gazes that seemed tangible, fixing on him. These gazes were filled with brutal and cruel intentions, rolling in like tides.
Raising his eyes to view the four Great Demons, seemingly ready to tear him to pieces, Qi Xiu gathered his sleeves with a chuckle, "This is utterly ridiculous. I haven't taken action for a while, and it seems I've been mistaken for an easy target. Hehehe, very well. Even so..."
Hearing Qi Xiu's tone, the four demons suddenly felt an ominous unease. After exchanging glances between their huge, blood-red pupils, they looked back at Qi Xiu, and their expressions changed drastically.
They saw this young Daoist's eyes turn a golden yellow, terrifying thunder already gathering, poised to strike.
"Then I will, with my own hands... send you to your deaths!"
