"Is this... a talisman?"

Ling Xiaoyu blinked, looking at the various colored talismans in Qin Yang's hand, and asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Qin Yang nodded and handed two Green Water Talismans to the two women.

"This is a Green Water Talisman. Pinch it between two fingers or slap it onto any part of the body, chant 'defend' and it will form a light membrane around you that can withstand the full-force attack of an early-stage Profound Tier expert."

Qin Yang explained to the two women.

"Really? That's amazing, let me try..."

Ling Xiaoyu was eager to try.

"Wait, this Green Water Talisman is a Level Three talisman, it's not easy to make. Here's a Level Two Water Defense Talisman, you can try it."

Qin Yang hurriedly said, handing a Level Two Water Defense Talisman to Ling Xiaoyu.

"Defend!"

Ling Xiaoyu pinched the talisman with her fingers and softly chanted.

Buzz~!

The Water Defense Talisman in Ling Xiaoyu's hand flashed, and a blue water-patterned light membrane instantly enveloped her.

"Sister Xinxue, hit me quickly."

Seeing the water-patterned light membrane, Ling Xiaoyu excitedly said to Ruan Xinxue.

Ruan Xinxue smiled and lightly struck, and her hand was immediately bounced away by the water-patterned light membrane.

"It's amazing."

The two women blinked their bright eyes, saying in amazement.

"The Water Defense Talisman and Green Water Talisman are both defensive talismans."

Qin Yang said with a smile, then took out a crimson talisman.

"What I have in my hand now is called the 'Flame Burst Talisman', it is an offensive talisman capable of producing violent explosions and large fires. When you throw it, shout 'burst', and anyone below the Profound Tier hit by it can be instantly killed."

"That's so powerful."

Ling Xiaoyu said in amazement, as she was well aware of the strength of ancient martial artists. Her Ling Family secretly hosted several Yellow Tier ancient martial artists, all maintained with large sums of money.

Qin Yang gave each of the two women two of each Green Water Talismans, Flame Burst Talismans, Thunder Shock Talismans, and Divine Movement Talismans. He also gave them several remaining Level Two talismans like Spring Rain Talismans and Wind Blade Talismans, and explained how to use them.

With these talismans for protection, ancient martial artists below the Profound Tier shouldn't be able to harm them, and even if they encounter Profound Tier experts, they have the means to save their lives.

Qin Yang returned to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, swallowed a Primordial Spirit Pill, and entered into cultivation.

At the Celestial Sword Pavilion, the night was quiet in the main tower.

"Saffron, why are you alone? Where are the Punishment Elder and the Sword-Wielding Elder?"

Zi Qian looked at the solitary Saffron returning, and asked.

"They both died."

Saffron's sinister voice slightly deepened, and she said.

"Dead? How is that possible?!"

Zi Qian was startled for a moment, his face changed dramatically, exclaiming in astonishment.

The Punishment Elder and the Sword-Wielding Elder were among the few Profound Tier experts in the pavilion, how could they both die so easily.

"Was it that thief who killed them?"

Zi Qian's old face looked unpleasant, staring at Saffron and asked.

"The boy's methods are weird, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I might not have made it back."

Saffron nodded and said.

"Last time, when I and the Sword-Wielding Elder were chasing him, his strength wasn't weak, but he definitely wasn't a match for the two of us, otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to run. Saffron, you are even more powerful than me with your poison technique, yet even with three of you, two were killed?!"

Zi Qian found it hard to accept.

The number of Profound Tier experts in the pavilion was already limited, and losing even one diminishes the Celestial Sword Pavilion's strength. How would they then contend with the Sea Dragon Sect and Dark Palace?

"Do I need to lie? Or do you suspect I poisoned the Sword-Wielding Elder and others?"

Under her black robe, Saffron lifted her face full of pustules and coldly said.

"No, Saffron, I didn't mean that, I was just surprised that the Sword-Wielding Elder and the others would actually fall."

Zi Qian shook his head and said.

He indeed had a fleeting suspicion, but after thinking it over, it seemed unlikely. Although Saffron and he did not get along, she was nominally the mistress of the Celestial Sword Pavilion and had no reason to kill the elders of the pavilion, especially since she bore no grudges against the two of them.

"It's possible that the boy's strength has increased again, and also, my poison technique seems ineffective against him."

Saffron paused, then slowly said.

"Your poison technique is ineffective against him?"

Zi Qian's old face was startled, and his voice carried an incredulous tone.

The poison on Saffron was attained from a Secret Realm, and even a late-stage Profound Tier expert touched by Saffron's poison would be in danger of dying.

"The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the boy harbors a great secret, and all his abilities are not the methods of ancient martial artists, he likely learned them from a Secret Realm or Cave Mansion."

Saffron's chilling voice had a hint of certainty.

"It seems we'll have to seek help from the Supreme Elder."

Zi Qian pondered for a moment, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes; they must bring this Secret Realm or Cave Mansion under their control. For the Celestial Sword Pavilion to rise, they must secure enough opportunities, and the Secret Realm or Cave Mansion is undoubtedly the fastest route.

"Tsk, tsk, in my opinion, the boy is vengeful and will likely come to kill his way up to the Celestial Sword Pavilion before long."

A cunning, cold light flickered in Saffron's old eyes.

The next day, morning sunlight streamed through the window.

"Whew."

Qin Yang gently exhaled a breath of white air, slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. The essence blood and spiritual power consumed in the battle yesterday had all been restored after medicinal cuisine adjustment and cultivation.

"For the safety of those around, I need to quickly take the Celestial Sword Pavilion into control."

Qin Yang murmured to himself.

After washing up, Qin Yang drove out of Ruan Xinxue's apartment and went to the Celestial Lake Villa District.

"Boss, the person you captured yesterday seems to be on the verge of death."

Upon entering the villa, Zhao Hui said to Qin Yang.

Qin Yang nodded. Yesterday, he had only used the Spring Rain Spell to temporarily alleviate Xing He's pain without completely detoxifying him.

In a bedroom, Xing He lay on the bed in agony, the poison having entered his body, with most of his skin ulcerated, but his mind was still clear.

"Save me..."

Seeing Qin Yang, a weak light flashed in Xing He's bloodshot eyes, and he made a hoarse plea from his throat.

"I now give you two choices: first, I will heal you, and you shall serve me from now on; second, you die here."

Qin Yang directly stated.

"I, I... I choose the first..."

Xing He gritted his teeth and said.

Although he had always lived in the Celestial Sword Pavilion and had feelings for it, recalling how neither the mistress nor his master cared for his life yesterday filled him with sorrow. Furthermore, with the poison in his body and death imminent, he didn't want to die just yet.

"Spring Rain Nourishing Body."

Qin Yang made a hand seal, with a gentle green spiritual power surging around him, transforming into a light green stream that enveloped Xing He.

Under the nourishing light green spiritual power stream, the ulcerated wounds on Xing He's body began to heal rapidly. After a few minutes, Xing He returned to his normal appearance.
