Chapter 7 Chu Da Niu’s Shock
“Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!”
Chu Da Niu endured his injuries and shouted loudly.
In his opinion,
A Cultivator who could kill two rogue Cultivators with one blow must be a master of Qi Cultivation (Mid stage) or even Late Stage!
But the next moment, he saw a familiar figure.
“Big Brother Li?”
Chu Da Niu was momentarily stunned.
He thought his eyes were blurry due to his severe injuries.
Li Chang'an looked serious and flicked a Medicinal Pill into Chu Da Niu’s mouth.
“Daniu, don’t just stand there, immediately meditate and recover from your injuries!”
“Big Brother Li, is it really you?”
Chu Da Niu mumbled in disbelief.
In that instant,
He had considered many possibilities, but he never thought it would be Li Chang'an!
Li Chang'an had a solemn expression as he took the Storage Pouches from the two rogue Cultivators, and after confirming there was nothing else on them, he continuously cast two Fireball Talismans.
With two “booming” sounds, two scorching flames rose, engulfing the bodies of the rogue Cultivators.
As for the rogue Cultivators' heads,
Li Chang'an did not burn them, but instead threw them into his fishing basket and covered them with a gray cloth.
“Both of these individuals are on the Zheng family’s bounty list. With their heads as proof, perhaps I can completely break free from the Zheng family’s spiritual contract and become a truly free Loose Cultivator!”
The moment he made his move, Li Chang'an already had a plan in mind.
Although the Zheng family Young Miss allowed him to do nothing for the next five years,
It was, after all, just a verbal promise.
He was still bound by the Zheng family’s spiritual contract.
What if the Zheng family suddenly faced a crisis one day and needed a large number of Loose Cultivators as cannon fodder?
Although the possibility was small, he had to be prepared!
After all this was done, Li Chang'an looked at Chu Da Niu.
“Daniu, how are you now? Can you move on your own?”
“I…”
Chu Da Niu opened his mouth, still in shock.
But he quickly recovered and assessed his current condition.
The Medicinal Pill just now was very effective.
“Big Brother Li, I can barely move now.”
His face was still a bit pale, and he struggled to support himself.
It was not advisable to stay here long.
The two immediately rushed towards the market.
On the way, Chu Da Niu explained the reason for his ambush.
Early this morning, he received a contract for spiritual wine, and the other party requested him to deliver the wine to a manor outside the market.
He didn't think much of it and set off with the spiritual wine.
As a result, he was ambushed halfway.
“Alas, I should have noticed the problem earlier. It’s just that the market has been very peaceful recently, and I was careless…”
Chu Da Niu was a bit annoyed.
The contract required a large amount of wine; it was a big business deal.
And he was too eager to earn Spirit Stones, allowing greed to cloud his judgment.
If Li Chang'an hadn't intervened,
He would have lost his life here!
Thinking back to the scene of Li Chang'an’s earlier intervention, Chu Da Niu still found it incredible.
“Big Brother Li, was that golden light a Talisman just now?”
“Mm.”
Li Chang'an did not deny it.
After receiving a positive answer, Chu Da Niu calmed down a little.
After all, it was the power of a Talisman, not his inherent strength.
A moment later,
Chu Da Niu suddenly trembled, thinking of something even more unbelievable.
“Big Brother Li, you… have you become a Talisman Master?”
“Why do you ask?”
Li Chang'an glanced at him and retorted.
“Couldn’t it be a Talisman I bought?”
“Big Brother Li, you just used two Fireball Talismans to dispose of those two people’s bodies. That’s really too wasteful; just setting them on fire would have worked.”
Two Fireball Talismans, that’s a full four Spirit Stones!
How could an ordinary Loose Cultivator dare to be so wasteful?
Precisely because of this,
Chu Da Niu concluded that Li Chang'an had already become a Talisman Master.
Li Chang'an nodded slightly.
“Yes, you guessed correctly.”
“He really is a Talisman Master!”
Chu Da Niu’s eyes widened, as if he was seeing Li Chang'an for the first time.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still deeply shocked.
The Dao of Talismans!
In the ranking of the hundred arts of cultivation, it far surpassed his spiritual wine technique.
In terms of status, a Talisman Master was also far above a winemaker!
“Alas, I was so pleased with myself for getting a spiritual wine Legacy, wishing everyone knew about it! Big Brother Li, you learned Talismans long ago, but you never made a fuss about it.”
Comparing the two, Chu Da Niu couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Those two rogue Cultivators knew he had a spiritual wine Legacy, so they must have been targeting him for a long time, not acting on a whim.
If he had been a bit more low-key,
Perhaps he wouldn't have faced this tribulation today.
Chu Da Niu made a decision.
From now on, in everything he did, he would emulate Li Chang'an, prioritizing stability and never taking risks easily!
The two chatted as they hurried towards the market.
Soon,
The market was already visible in the distance.
“Finally back.”
Chu Da Niu breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a team of Zheng family Cultivators patrolling nearby spotted them and approached.
The leader, named “Zheng Yunting,” was a master of Qi Cultivation (Mid stage).
He shouted at Chu Da Niu:
“What happened? Why are you covered in blood?”
“Senior, we encountered rogue Cultivators!”
Seeing these patrolling Cultivators, Chu Da Niu completely relaxed and recounted the entire incident in detail.
After listening, the many Zheng family Cultivators were all a bit surprised.
“You killed those two rogue Cultivators?”
Zheng Yunting looked at Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an immediately nodded, uncovered the blood-stained gray cloth, and took out the heads of the two rogue Cultivators.
“Senior, I was quite lucky. I happened to have a Mad Blade Talisman and had the advantage of a sneak attack.”
“Well done!”
Zheng Yunting praised, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes.
“Whether it was a sneak attack or not, as long as you could kill them, that’s your skill!”
Subsequently, he took the two heads from Li Chang'an.
According to the bounty previously issued,
Li Chang'an could receive a very good reward.
He asked, “Senior, can I change the content of the reward?”
“Oh?”
Zheng Yunting was stunned.
“What reward do you want?”
“Senior, I want to dissolve the spiritual contract and become a free person.”
“This…”
Zheng Yunting pondered for a moment.
“I don’t have the final say on this matter. I’m only responsible for patrolling. The spiritual contract matter is handled by the Young Miss. I’ll take you to her. Whether it succeeds or not depends on your luck.”
“Thank you, Senior!”
Li Chang'an’s heart was filled with joy, and he cupped his hands.
That Young Miss was very intelligent, understanding, and quite easy to talk to.
This matter should be settled!
Not long after,
Zheng Yunting led the two to the Baishi Hall in the center of the market, which was where the Zheng family handled market affairs.
He went in first to announce their arrival, and then led the two into the main hall.
Zheng Qingqing was in the main hall, dressed in a long green dress, with hair reaching her waist and eyes as beautiful as a painting.
Seeing Li Chang'an, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.
“Li Chang'an, it really is you!”
“Greetings, Young Miss.”
Li Chang'an bowed slightly, his attitude respectful.
Zheng Qingqing smiled sweetly, her tone very gentle.
“I told you before, there’s no need to be so reserved when you see me.”
She had already learned the details of the incident through Zheng Yunting.
That’s why she was slightly surprised.
After all,
According to the information she had previously gathered,
Li Chang'an’s strength was unremarkable; he couldn’t possibly be a match for two rogue Cultivators.
