A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

As the golden crocodile was crushed, Lin Xiu heard a system notification.

【ding~】

[The host directly alters "Li Xiaoman's" fate.]

Originally, Li Xiaoman's primordial spirit would be incomplete due to the golden divine crocodile. Now, without the golden divine crocodile invading her primordial spirit, she has embarked on another unknown path.

[Character Bonus Level: Medium.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Sheep Talisman (purple).]

【Sheep Talisman: One of the twelve talismans in the Jackie Chan Adventures world, the Sheep Talisman possesses supreme power in the realm of the soul.】

If an ordinary person possesses the Sheep Talisman, they can only use a limited number of abilities. For example: astral projection, causing another person's soul to leave their body, possessing another person's body, and protecting their own soul.

However, if a cultivator possesses the Sheep Talisman, simply holding this item can greatly accelerate the growth of their primordial spirit. Furthermore, the Sheep Talisman can be used to perform various sophisticated manipulations of the soul, such as soul control, restrictions, soul oaths, and so on.

"It can protect one's own soul? Not bad, not bad~"

Lin Xiu was very satisfied with the system reward.

Because the sheep talisman, a tool for protecting the soul, is exactly what he lacks now.

With double the physical body and inexhaustible magical power, he is virtually invincible among those of the same level.

But what if some old thing comes along and uses some strange technique to kill my primordial spirit?

In this situation, only by protecting oneself with sacred artifacts or even imperial artifacts can one ensure one's safety.

Lin Xiu had already examined the Human World Cauldron. It was not a weapon for cultivators, but rather an object used to temper the body and soul by bearing karma and willpower. It was sturdy, but not as useful as ordinary sacred artifacts or imperial artifacts.

Therefore, Lin Xiu was quite satisfied with being able to obtain the sheep talisman with the effect of "protecting the soul".

Chapter 11 The Wonderful Uses of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Immortal Scripture

After dealing with the golden crocodile, Lin Xiu felt much more relaxed.

Only then did everyone realize what had just happened.

"That golden light just now...! Someone ambushed Master Lin?"

"I saw it! That golden light came from the top of Li Changqing's head! But... how could Li Changqing possibly have the ability to ambush Master Lin?"

"Li Changqing! Why are you so surprised and afraid? So, you were planning to harm Master Lin behind his back!"

"Li Changqing? It really is Li Changqing!"

Because Li Changqing's behavior after the Golden Crocodile's failed sneak attack was too obvious, the group quickly noticed that something was wrong with him.

"Oh!"

With a loud thud, Pang Bo elbowed Li Changqing to the ground, then pounced on him! He used his weight and divine strength to completely restrict Li Changqing's movements!

After taking the suspect into custody, Pang Bo looked up at Lin Xiu:

"Master Lin, what exactly happened just now?"

Lin Xiu retrieved the Human World Cauldron and slowly walked towards Li Changqing.

"Just now, Li Changqing collaborated with the demons suppressed in the eighteen levels of hell, trying to take advantage of my distraction to have Crocodile Ancestor's divided soul invade my primordial spirit."

As soon as Lin Xiu said this, the crowd erupted in uproar.

"Li Changqing, I never imagined you would cooperate with demons from the eighteenth level of hell!"

"I thought you would turn over a new leaf, but I really misjudged you!"

"Master Lin! How do you intend to deal with Li Changqing? We all support you!"

"Kill him! If he succeeds and Master Lin is killed, the demons will wipe us all out! Such a wolf in sheep's clothing deserves to be killed to appease public anger!"

.......

However, Lin Xiu smiled and shook his head:

"Kill? Why kill? Do I look like such a bloodthirsty person?"

Lin Xiu's words left Zhou Yi somewhat bewildered.

"Not kill? Then Master Lin, what do you mean...?"

"This humble Taoist happens to be lacking materials for human experiments, so let Li Changqing atone for his sins with his own body and soul."

Lin Xiu's left hand displayed a sheep talisman, while his right middle finger emitted boundless divine light, which he then pointed towards Li Changqing's brow.

For the first time, Li Changqing showed a look of horror. Although he did not know what Lin Xiu was planning to do, he felt that it was something more terrible than death!

"No! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!!"

Li Changqing struggled with all his might.

However, since Pang Bo was pressing down on him in a strong-man lock-on position, completely locking him in place, no matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain.

Lin Xiu tapped it gently.

"........."

Li Changqing, who had been struggling, stopped struggling instantly, his eyes vacant, as if his soul had been completely annihilated.

Of course, Lin Xiu did not destroy its soul, but only temporarily sealed it.

Since it was already stated that it would be used as experimental material, how could Lin Xiu only conduct one experiment?

The Sheep Talisman possesses the ability to control souls; while it may not be as miraculous as the Salvation Scripture, it is more than sufficient.

[Next, I can test the various abilities of the Sheep Talisman on Li Changqing, such as soul splitting, soul refining, soul suppression, and restrictions, so that I won't be unfamiliar with them when I need to use them in the future.]

"Alright, young friend Pang, let go now. Li Changqing is no longer a threat."

Pang Bo glanced at Li Changqing and slowly stood up from Li Changqing's body, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Lin Xiu glanced at Pang Bo, whose face was full of satisfaction, then turned to look at Ye Fan beside him:

"By the way, young friend Ye, I have something to remind you of."

"what's up?"

Ye Fan suddenly tensed up. Could it be that he had also been ambushed when he entered the Great Thunderclap Temple?

"Don't worry, young friend Ye, it's nothing serious."

"However, I feel that Young Friend Pang's method of locking Li Changqing is a bit too skillful."

"Although young friend Ye possesses the Ancient Sacred Body and has an unparalleled physical physique, ... one can't be too careful about the possibility of something going wrong. People always have moments when they let their guard down."

After saying that, Lin Xiu sighed, waved his whisk, and left gracefully, leaving Ye Fan standing there in a daze.

A few seconds later, Ye Fan understood Lin Xiu's meaning, and his expression changed slightly.

Yes! Pang Bo's movements in locking Li Changqing up were far too practiced!

"Hey! Ye Zi, I quickly brought the danger under control, which was clearly a heroic act, so why are you looking at me like that?" Pang Bo looked aggrieved, as if his heart had been deeply hurt.

"Ahem~ No, I didn't, Pang Bo, you've misunderstood. Why would I look at you like that?"

Ye Fan forced a smile. Although he felt that Lin Xiu was teasing him, he shouldn't get too close to Pang Bo, even for the sake of his reputation among his classmates.

Brothers are brothers, but you still need to be careful about where you stand. Don't stand behind me.

Otherwise, if he really becomes the Heavenly Emperor in the future, wouldn't this become a dark history? Didn't you see the strange looks your classmates are giving us?

........

"Don't worry, Ye Fan, we understand." Wang Ziwen patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, comforting him.

"What do you know?" Ye Fan's lips twitched slightly.

“We understand, you’re not the kind of person who likes men.” After saying that, Wang Ziwen glanced at Li Xiaoman.

Li Xiaoman is Ye Fan's ex-girlfriend. Since she already has an ex-girlfriend, she naturally can't be someone who's attracted to men.

"Yes, Wang Ziwen, just trust me."

Although he received understanding, Ye Fan's feelings were still complicated.

Soon, Ye Fan's subtle feelings were confirmed.

"Ye Fan, I only know that you're not that kind of person. But... Pang Bo might be a different story."

"You...you still need to be more careful."

"Slap slap~"

After expressing her trust and encouragement to Ye Fan, Wang Ziwen patted Ye Fan's shoulder hard before leaving his side.

.......

If Ye Fan was only feeling somewhat awkward and annoyed, then Pang Bo was simply feeling utterly frustrated.

"Holy crap! I'm a real man!"

Pang Bo quickly realized that explanations were useless; Lin Xiu had to clear his name.

So, he angrily confronted Lin Xiu.

However, as he closed the distance to Lin Xiu, the anger on Pang Bo's face gradually disappeared, eventually turning into endless resentment:

"Master Lin! How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"Slander someone's innocence? When did I slander someone's innocence? Young friend Pang, have you forgotten that I possess the art of divination, which allows me to foresee the fates of others?"

"Speaking of which, young friend Pang hasn't asked about his own destiny in the immortal realm yet, has he?"

"what?"

This time, not only Pang Bo and Ye Fan, but the other students also realized what was happening.

Others might just be saying this casually, but... Master Lin truly has the ability to foresee the future!

"Since young friend Pang is so persistent, then this humble Taoist will offer to perform a fortune telling for you free of charge."

"No! No need! Master Lin! Thank you! Please don't give it to me!"

Pang Bo broke out in a cold sweat; he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Not count? This concerns young friend Pang's innocence, how can it not count?"

"Today, even if it costs me a little of my lifespan, I will definitely prove young friend Pang's innocence!"
