Chapter 19: Suppressing the Evil

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Yi flipped through the book a few times and memorized it.

The breakthrough of the Connate realm was not only about martial strength, or rather, martial strength

was just an appearance. In fact, it was a transformation of the essence, qi, and mind to a higher level of

life. His memory was not far from photographic.

“I originally wanted to reach a bottleneck in the Martial Dao and find a few cultivation techniques to

cultivate. Now that I have the Art of Talismans, I can be considered half a cultivator after learning it.”

Cultivators regarded talismans and other similar techniques as protective techniques. Immortal Dao

cultivation techniques were the foundation of achieving the Dao. Pursuing techniques without any

foundation was the act of neglecting the basics.

Zhou Yi had already obtained the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life, so his perspective was different from

cultivators.

All the methods in the world that could increase strength, be it cultivation techniques, talisman or

refinement of weapons, were all techniques to protect the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life.

“A talisman pen made from the tail hair of a white fox. A hundred-year-old white fox is best. The

talisman paper is still made of animal skin. The older the beast, the higher the success rate…”

There was no need for Zhou Yi to hunt personally. The Divine Capital was where the essence of the

Fengyang Kingdom was gathered. Rare and precious items like the hundred-year-old white fox fur

would definitely be sent to the Divine Capital for sale. If he didn’t have enough money, he could owe

them first!

The next day.

When Lieutenant Zhu heard that the thief in the Sky Prison had been eliminated, he naturally realized

that Yu Jie had disappeared. He could not help but be shocked. The other party had used his

connections to enter the Sky Prison.

“Old Zhou, you’re the Sky Prison’s Sea-Calming Divine Needle!”

The news that Zhou Yi had reached the Internal Organs Realm in his Body Tempering would soon

spread to the Uniform Guards. Someone would definitely come to rope him in. The five generations of

Zhou family were all prison guards and they could not be more innocent. They were far more at ease

than the martial arts experts they recruited.

“Don’t worry, Lord Zhu. I can’t bear to leave the Sky Prison either.”

It would be a lie to say that Zhou Yi was not tempted by the talisman inheritance that might be hidden

in the imperial prison, but he had enough patience to wait for the opportunity.

Time would always be on Zhou Yi’s side!

A month later.

The talisman pen and talisman paper were successfully made.

Zhou Yi taught himself to draw talismans according to the book. Naturally, he would not succeed at

first. His true essence condensed on the tip of the brush and could not be integrated into the talisman

at all.

“Nothing is impossible in this world, unless you’re not familiar with it!”

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Zhou Yi’s life was simple and calm, but he heard his colleagues talk about many important matters.

At the beginning of the 13th year of Hongchang, not long after Zhou Yi broke through to the Connate

Realm, the Fengyang Kingdom and Great Yong officially signed a peace treaty.

The Minister of Revenue wrote that the treasury was empty and asked for the dismissal of the Northern

Border Army. Since the ascension of Emperor Hongchang, there had been constant wars of all sizes

for thirteen years. This reason was very reasonable.

It was rumored that the Grand Secretary, Zhang Zhengyang, respectfully asked Li Wu in Fengtian

Palace in front of Emperor Hongchang and all the civil and military officials, “This matter is of great

importance. We need the Duke to agree before we can dismiss the border army!”

There were all kinds of versions of what happened after that. There was one where Li Wu scolded the

Grand Secretary in public, and one where Li Wu surrendered. In the end, 70% of the million-strong

army in the northern border was disbanded.

The imperial court was in turmoil, and the martial world was in turmoil.

Rumor had it that the mighty Cang family of Jiangnan had a demonic technique that could devour inner

Qi. The Cang family had never been a small clan. In just ten years, they had indirectly produced top-

notch experts. Their clansmen seemed to have become talented martial arts geniuses. Moreover, the

Cang family specialized in inner Qi, which was in line with the rumors in the martial world.

In the 14th year of Hongchang, the Cang family was besieged by more than a dozen sects led by

Buddhism and Daoism. More than a thousand people died, and none of the old, weak, women, and

children were spared.

Someone asked Master Fang Yuan of the Huasheng Temple, “Does the Cang family have a demonic

technique that can devour inner Qi?”

Master Fang Yuan had a benevolent expression on his face as he chanted a Buddhist proclamation.

“Amitabha! Perhaps someone has found it.”

When these words spread to the martial world, the Buddhist Sect had another stain on their reputation.

It made the various gangs and sects mock them for a long time. After a few months, no one mentioned

it again.

After all, too many major events had happened in the imperial court. The Buddhist Sect would not be Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

able to occupy the trending searches for a few days.

For example, if Zhou Yi became a first-rate expert, it would be considered big news in the Sky Prison,

and he could still cause some ripples in the Divine Capital, but he would not even be able to cause a

drop of water splash in the Fengyang Kingdom.

The Uniform Guards had sent people to recruit him. They had first promised him the position of an

officer, and then raised their offer to sergeant.

Zhou Yi refused a few times in a row and left it at that.

The eyes of the world would always pay attention to the latest people and events. After two years, no

one paid attention to a mere prison guard anymore. Occasionally, when he was mentioned at the wine

table, they would even scoff in disdain. “Even if such a person is an expert, he’s useless!”

At the end of the thirteenth year of Hongchang, approaching New Year’s Eve. A decree spread

throughout the world. The position of the crown prince of the Fengyang Kingdom that had been empty

for many years finally belonged to someone.

It was the eldest prince, Zhao Xian, whose wife was the legitimate daughter of the Grand Secretary,

Zhang Zhengyang.

“No wonder he can be a Grand Secretary. This old man is very capable!”

Zhou Yi clicked his tongue a few times and put this matter behind him. The imperial court was like a

cloud to him, far less interesting than the Art of Talismans.

After two years of copying and drawing, ruining several talisman pens, destroying countless talismans,

it almost became instinctive for him to draw four types of talismans, he could even draw the

complicated strokes without stopping.

His true essence condensed at the tip of the pen. As the pen was set on the talisman, the cinnabar

became crystal clear on the talisman paper.

Pfft! With a soft sound, the true essence in the cinnabar dissipated, and the talisman paper shattered

into powder.

Zhou Yi was already used to it. He carefully recalled the reason for the mistake and changed a

talisman paper to continue drawing.

In the past two years, he had gone from not knowing anything to comprehending the elementary level.

Zhou Yi had a premonition that he was not far from drawing a talisman successfully.

“I’m running out of talismans. I have to borrow a few more.”

Zhou Yi heard that the Ferocious Tiger Hall in the south of the city had recently obtained a white tiger

skin. The hall master even held a tiger appreciation banquet.

“Since I’m cultivating the Five Tigers Fist, I should borrow it!”

The Ferocious Tiger Hall’s Hall Master, Luo Hu, did not participate in the rebellion back then. Later on,

he took advantage of the fact that the boxing hall had been seized by the Uniformed Guards and

obtained the second half of the boxing manual and nourishing prescription. Now, he has also become a

big shot.

“…Clear as the void, the talisman formed itself!”

Zhou Yi cleared his mind. When the last stroke landed, there was a faint spiritual light flickering on the

talisman.

“Eh? It’s not broken!”

Zhou Yi was surprised. He picked up the House Suppression Talisman and observed it carefully. It was

identical to the description in the book, but he did not know if it was effective. True essence poured in,

and the talisman ignited without fire. An invisible wave swept across the courtyard.

At this moment —

It was midwinter, the dead of night. A cold wind suddenly blew in the courtyard, emitting a whining

sound.

“Who?”

Zhou Yi’s eyes were like lightning as he suddenly looked at the date tree in the courtyard. The originally

empty place was filled with black fog. It vaguely looked like a human with only two red spots on its face.

He turned to look under the trellis where he usually ate, drank tea, and drank wine. Some were hiding

in the trellises, and some were sitting on stone blocks. Even the dining table was occupied by two

ghosts.

More than ten pairs of red eyes stared at Zhou Yi resentfully, as if they would pounce over and bite him

at any time.

“Ghosts?”

Zhou Yi was not afraid at all. Instead, he was filled with interest. He gathered his true essence and

grabbed a ghost. However, when the ghost shadow touched the true essence, it let out a miserable

scream and turned into nothingness.

“This is too fragile to be called a ghost. At best, it’s a remnant soul or something.”

Zhou Yi protected his body with his true essence and walked towards the ghost shadows.

Woowoo…

The vicious ghosts retreated in fear and finally squeezed into the corner, overlapping like smoke.

“You died in my hands when you were alive. Even if you turn into a ghost, you won’t dare to resist.

Boring! Boring!”

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, his true essence condensed into a sword edge. He shuttled back and

forth in the ghost shadows a few times before they died again.
