15 Nether Talisman

After Yuanzhen died, the old woman on his head also dissipated. Lu Chen felt relaxed. He pondered for a moment and felt that things were not that simple. He could not help but think of the Ku Chan Temple behind Yuanzhen and shuddered.

Yuanzhen was just a great monk. At most, he had cultivated a few evil techniques. However, there was a group of Great Priests in Ku Chan Temple.

"Whatever, it has nothing to do with me."

Lu Chen and Yuanzhen had a personal grudge, and it did not involve the Ku Chan Temple. Naturally, he would not recklessly approach them. He did not care what the Ku Chan Temple's motive was. He would just cultivate peacefully.

"I'm comfortable now." Lu Chen grinned and looked to the side. He saw the red silk fluttering. Jiang Hong'e was standing at the top of the tree like a fairy, glaring at him. Lu Chen didn't understand and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hmph, what did you just call me?"

"Hong'e."

Jiang Hong'e's moth-like eyebrows shot up. Her pretty face was filled with anger. "Try calling me that again!!!"

"Hong'e!"

"…"

Jiang Hong'e's chest heaved up and down as she looked at Lu Chen, who was pretending to be stupid. She was about to teach him a lesson when Lu Chen said nonchalantly, "What are you standing there for? Quick, come and split the spoils."

After saying that, he ignored the other party and jogged to pick up the peach wood sword. Then, he went to look for the Buddhist Staff that had been sent flying by the red silk.

Jiang Hong'e felt bitter. For a moment, she could not bring herself to do it. She flew to the ground with a sullen expression.

Lu Chen grinned secretly. After carrying back the Buddhist Staff embedded in the tree, he began to search for Monk Yuanzhen's corpse. He turned it over and over, but found nothing. He muttered, "That's not right. My Sunu's Secret Technique is gone too. This doesn't make sense!"

"What Sunu's Secret Technique?"

"Oh, oh, a precious book." Lu Chen gave a perfunctory reply and searched again, but he still found nothing. He said gloomily, "Why isn't there even a storage bag?"

Jiang Hong'e could only explain, "Not everyone has a storage bag. I know a spell called the [Sealing Technique]. It can seal many things in the body. It's both hidden and convenient."

"It won't affect the motions?"

"Other than weight and space constraints, it won't affect anything."

"I understand. The next scene will be a little bloody. You should avoid it first."

"Mm~" Jiang Hong'e snorted, took two steps back, and turned her head away.

Lu Chen pulled out the knife at his waist and began to dissect it. Yuanzhen's corpse was almost torn into pieces by him. When he cut open Yuanzhen's right arm with the knife, there was an explosion and a large ball of something exploded.

"Finally, the equipment dropped."

Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Hong'e also turned her head and looked over. With just a glance, her beautiful face changed slightly. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "This Yuanzhen really deserves to die."

Most of the items were actually women's undergarments, face handkerchiefs, and other items. In addition, there were also fair palms, slender thighs, and various broken limbs.

"He does deserve to die."

Lu Chen nodded in agreement and cleared away the useless items. There were still many items left.

Just as Lu Chen was about to take the Sunu's Secret Technique, Jiang Hong'e snatched it away and flipped through it page by page. Her expression became more and more interesting. In one breath, she read from the beginning to the end.

"As expected of Procuress Jiang…"

Lu Chen was speechless. He clearly remembered that there were little people fighting inside.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Hong'e glared fiercely at Lu Chen and put away the Sunu's Secret Technique.

"…"

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth but did not dare to make a sound. He looked at the two identical wine jars and reached out to remove the seal on one of them.

"Wu wu wu~"

In an instant, a cold wind howled, and a pitch-black ghost poked its hideous head out. Under the sunlight, it immediately screamed and shrank back.

"There's ghosts inside."

The two of them looked at each other. Lu Chen waved his hand and threw the wine jar away.

Clang!

Clang!

The wine jar shattered into pieces. As soon as the two ghosts appeared, they screamed and overflowed with black smoke. In the blink of an eye, they were burned to death by the sunlight.

Lu Chen looked at the remaining items.

Two books.

A small bag of spiritual sand.

There were three round yellow papers and the magic artifact-level Dragon Head Buddhist Staff.

The two books were called "Ghost Retribution" and "Sealing Technique".

Lu Chen picked up the yellow paper and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Jiang Hong'e took it and examined it for a while. "A nether talisman. It's used to communicate with ghosts. It's useless for cultivation. That Ghost Retribution is also an evil technique. It can't be cultivated. Burn it."

"There are no good or bad techniques. The key lies in the person."

However, Lu Chen did not agree. He directly took the three nether talismans and the Ghost Retribution as his own. He flipped through the "Sealing Technique" again and obtained 12 grains of spiritual sand.

As for the buddhist staff, he left it to Jiang Hong'e to dispose of the stolen goods.

Jiang Hong'e reminded worriedly, "Guard your heart. Don't have any evil thoughts."

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded and said meaningfully, "Don't have any crooked thoughts."

Jiang Hong'e seemed to have thought of something, and an intoxicating blush appeared on her charming face. Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Ahem." He coughed dryly and reminded her, "If you need anything, ahem, you can ask me for help."

Without waiting for Jiang Hong'e to react, he fled for his life.

"Lu! Chen! How dare you take advantage of me? Go to hell!" Jiang Hong'e flew into a rage. Her peaks undulated as she waved her red silk. She flew up and charged at Lu Chen aggressively.

…

Yuanzhen's death did not cause any waves.

Lu Chen dodged the "hunt" and returned to Fengxian Town safely. Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Changchun Temple, he saw a bamboo basket hanging on the door. He took down the bamboo basket and lifted the cover.

There were five steamed buns that looked like rabbits neatly placed in the basket. They were still steaming.

"This little girl." Lu Chen was slightly gratified. He picked up one and took a bite. He could not help but nod. "Delicious!"

As soon as he entered the Changchun Temple, the five steamed buns were eaten up by Lu Chen. After cleaning the entire Changchun Temple, Lu Chen felt unprecedentedly relaxed. He took a futon from his room and sat cross-legged in the courtyard. He muttered, "It's time to upgrade. Open!"

[Name: Lu Chen]

[Spell: Sword Control Technique, Uninitiated (Can be upgraded!)] +

…

Placing the peach wood sword across his knees, Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed. "Upgrade!"

Sitting cross-legged without moving, many comprehensions of the Sword Control Technique surged into his mind. After fifteen minutes, he let out a long breath and opened his eyes. Then, he formed a seal with his hands and formed a sword technique with his hands.

"Sword Control Technique!"

Buzz!

The horizontal peach wood sword trembled slightly, then suddenly flew up and stabbed into the ground in front of him with a whoosh.

"I can't." Lu Chen shook his head. He had just entered the Beginner level of the Sword Control Technique and was far from being able to control it as if it was his own arm, let alone fly on a sword. If he wanted to fly on a sword, he had to at least master it.

When he thought of how Jiang Hong'e had flown through the air earlier, Lu Chen was both envious and passionate.

"I have to continue working hard."

After putting away the sword technique, Lu Chen looked at the light screen again and stretched out his hand.

"Open!"

[3: 10 taels of silver (Achieved!)]

…

Maha Kasyapa Palm was already at the Beginner level and he was just short of one soul essence from leveling up. Lu Chen's gaze shifted to the remaining two chicks in the chicken coop and he muttered, "They're so cute. I can't bring myself to do it…"

A moment later.

[Name: Lu Chen]

[Palm Technique: Maha Kasyapa Palm, Beginner (Upgradeable!)+]

…

"Upgrade!"

In the blink of an eye, Maha Kasyapa Palm had become [Proficient]. Other than a deeper comprehension, his hand speed was a little faster, but there were no obvious changes. Lu Chen cast his gaze back at the light screen.

[Name: Lu Chen]
