Chapter 54 Turtle Bastard

Lin Youran nearly choked on her steamed bun. After swallowing it, she blurted out, "Seriously? Are you guys crazy? Sending an alchemist to wield a sword?"

Why don't they let the alchemist swing the sledgehammer?
Unable to understand!

Jiang Chenying had already been instructed before he arrived. He coldly said, "Lin Jinyao, Yang Yousheng, Shen Youqing, and Shen Quelin, swing your swords five thousand times; Liang Shimu, Lin Youran, and Xiao Ke, run ten laps around the training ground."

Shen Youqing swallowed the bun in her mouth, her clear and melodious voice revealing a hint of anger, "I'm a talisman master! A talisman master! You're fucking asking a talisman master to wield a sword? I won't do it!"
Jiang Chenying coldly said, "Then draw two hundred talismans."

"..." Shen Youqing really wanted to throw the half-eaten bun in her hand at him, "Two hundred bills?? You really dare to say that!"

Ignoring Shen Youqing's anger, Jiang Chenying turned to look at her third junior brother, Chi Guyuan, and said in a cold and calm voice, as if she were a machine, "Go and supervise Shen Youqing. The invalid talismans don't count."

Chi Guyuan responded, looked at Shen Youqing who was gritting her teeth and wanted to punch someone, and after thinking for a moment, said, "She is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, it is unrealistic for her to draw two hundred talismans a day."

His success rate in creating talismans during his Foundation Establishment stage was over 90%, but it would still take him ten days of non-stop drawing to complete two hundred talismans.

Although it is unknown what Shen Youqing's success rate is, with her cultivation level, she could draw two hundred talismans for half a month without sleep.

The eldest brother is really ruthless.

"One hundred." Jiang Chenying was still a decent person; after thinking it over, she reduced the amount by half for Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing looked at Jiang Chenying with a forced smile.

Drawing symbols, huh!

Row!
Just as Chi Guyuan thought Shen Youqing was about to cause trouble again, Shen Youqing asked in a friendly manner, "I can decide for myself what kind of talisman to draw?"

"Mm," Jiang Chenying responded.

Just to be on the safe side, Shen Youqing asked again, "Will a discarded talisman spontaneously combust? Does that mean that as long as the talisman paper doesn't spontaneously combust, it's considered a finished talisman?"

Jiang Chenying responded.

"Alright!" Shen Youqing, with a steamed bun in his mouth, rolled up his sleeves and said to Chi Guyuan, "Let's go, let's draw some talismans!"

Watching Chi Guyuan and Shen Youqing's retreating figures, Shen Quelin felt that things might not be so simple.

School grounds.

Shen Quelin, Lin Jinyao, and Yang Yousheng picked up their longswords and began to wield them.

Although Yang Yousheng was a physical cultivator, he still knew some basic sword techniques.

Liang Shimu, Lin Youran, and Xiao Ke each tied two sandbags to their belts and started running around the training ground.

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect suddenly became obedient, which was quite unusual.

The disciples on the training ground looked at the honest and unassuming Liang Shimu and his companions, and felt that something was amiss.

Here.

Shen Youqing stood in front of the table, arranging the talismans and ink with slow and deliberate movements, which were quite pleasing to the eye.

Chi Guyuan stood to the side watching.

Shen Youqing took out a purple-gold wolf-hair talisman brush, dipped it in ink, and then picked up the brush to draw a talisman.

As Shen Youqing drew the first stroke, Chi Guyuan's expression changed from surprise to bewilderment, and finally to speechlessness.

After finishing the drawing, Shen Youqing put down his brush, picked up the talisman paper, and shook it. He then said to Chi Guyuan with an air of self-righteousness, "Look, the talisman paper didn't spontaneously combust, so it's a complete talisman!"

Chi Guyuan: ...

Is that a talisman?!

Isn't that a turtle bastard?

"Senior Brother!" Chi Guyuan turned around and called out.

Jiang Chenying, who was supervising Shen Quelin and the other two as they wielded their swords, heard Chi Guyuan's voice and strode over.

Jiang Chenying narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the talisman in Shen Youqing's hand, then coldly asked, "A talisman?"

On the talisman in Shen Youqing's hand was a tortoise.

Moreover, there is a "王" (king) character on the turtle's head.

“That’s right.” Shen Youqing raised his head and said it with such confidence, “You just said that if it doesn’t spontaneously combust, it’s considered a successful talisman. Did this talisman spontaneously combust?” Faced with Shen Youqing’s question, Jiang Chenying really wanted to go back and beat her past self from a quarter of an hour ago to death.

What is he humming about?
At this moment, Jiang Chenying understood why Shen Youqing had asked so many questions.

So this is what they were waiting for!
"..." Chi Guyuan glanced at Jiang Chenying helplessly.

Shen Youqing put down the talisman paper, picked up the talisman brush and said, "A person should keep their word. You just said it yourself, so you can't add conditions halfway through."

Looking at the turtle on the talisman, Jiang Chenying was so angry that she laughed.

"Since you say it's a talisman, use it," Jiang Chenying said coldly. "I want to see what this tortoise talisman is good for!"

What the hell? ?

Jiang Chenying's words attracted many of her protégés.

When Jianyan first saw the turtle on the talisman, her lips twitched slightly; she wanted to laugh but dared not.

The other disciples gathered around the table, looking at the tortoise talisman with varying expressions.

Is this a talisman?
No wonder Jiang Chenying's expression was so cold and stern; this was practically an open insult.

"As expected of you." After saying that, Shen Xingzhi glanced at Jiang Chenying, who was cold and stern, with a hint of sympathy.

Shen Youqing wasn't afraid of the cold and stern Jiang Chenying at all. She handed over the talisman, her clear and melodious voice calm and composed, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Jiang Chenying took the talisman, infused it with spiritual power, and then threw it into the open space.

"boom--"

A cluster of fireworks appeared and exploded in the air.

Watching the fleeting fireworks, the veins on Jiang Chenying's forehead became noticeably prominent.

Shen Youqing looked at Jiang Chenying triumphantly, her little expression seeming to say, "Just tell me if it's useful or not!"
Jiang Chenying clenched her fist and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra in her mind.

You can't make a move; that's a direct disciple of the Hehuan Sect!
"Hmm?" Chu Jianyan asked curiously, "Junior Sister Youqing, how did you do that?"

Isn't that the turtle that Junior Sister Qing deliberately drew as a prank?

Why did it explode into fireworks?
Shen Youqing smiled and said, "Senior Sister Chu, look."

Chu Jianyan curiously approached.

Shen Youqing slowed down and drew a simplified turtle.

Standing to the side, Chi Guyuan saw through the trick and asked in surprise, "A firework talisman?"

Low-level firework talismans are basically only for decoration, but mid-level firework talismans can kill people. Therefore, talisman masters usually only draw mid-level firework talismans.

Moreover... he had never seen a tortoise-shaped firework talisman before.

"It's just a low-level firework talisman." Chu Jianyan couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the lifelike turtle. "Junior Sister Youqing, you're really full of mischief."

Basic firework symbols are very simple; they can be easily modified to produce different colors and effects, hence there are many styles of basic firework symbols.

However, this is the first time I've ever seen a firework talisman shaped like a turtle.

This shows that Junior Sister Youqing has some talent in the art of talismans, but she just didn't use it for good.

Shen Youqing smiled, her eyes crinkling, "No way!"

There's none?
Jiang Chenying glanced at the tortoise talisman, then turned and left.

Shen Youqing looked up at Jiang Chenying's cold back and the corners of her mouth quickly turned up.

What do you call this? You have your clever strategies, and I have my own ways to get over the wall.

Chu Jianyan watched as Shen Youqing drew several turtles, and out of curiosity, she also took out her talisman brush and drew talismans.

Looking at the tortoise vividly depicted on the paper, Chu Jianyan picked up the talisman and infused it with spiritual power.

The silver fireworks exploded; it would be a beautiful sight at night.

"Let's try drawing two talismans tonight, they should look beautiful," Shen Youqing said to Chu Jianyan as he drew the talismans.
