Chapter 419: Return the Favour

Lou Mu Yan watched Jian Yang challenge her calmly. If she was challenged by the so called ‘Hopes’ of the other Schools, she would definitely be too lazy to care.

But if it were a pupil of the Talisman School, she didn’t want to let down Huo Ling Long’s good intentions.

She understood Huo Ling Long’s intentions. As pupils from the same School participating the competition, she naturally hoped that they would unite against the outsiders.

However, because she went from being unknown to suddenly occupying six places in the Sect, although Jian Yang and Han Xin said nothing, but they definitely weren’t convinced.

Entering the eighth chamber to cultivate in the Elemental Underground Palace could only demonstrate that she had good talent in comprehension of the metal element and didn’t mean that she was very strong, so she wasn’t really highly regarded by those geniuses.

In order to be united, it was necessary to have the approval of both.

And how would she be recognised by the two of them? Only by showing her strength to deter the two.

“It seems that Junior Sister is also a refreshing person. I heard that Junior Sister is already a Grade 4 Talisman Master. I have a set of Middle-Level Grade 4 talisman materials here. How about Junior Sister try to refine a talisman?” Jian Yang also wasn’t a person who liked to beat around the bush.

He and Han Xin were the Direct Disciples of Huo Ling Long and was a High-Level Grade 4 Talisman Master and a Middle-Level Grade 4 Talisman Master respectively.

Lou Mu Yan occupying the other School’s places, they don’t have any objections, but in order to represent the Talisman School, she still needed to show her strength to prove it to them.

After all, in addition to Zi Che Shi, a Middle-Level Grade 4 Talisman Master, there was also an Initial-Level Grade 4 Talisman Master who had hoped to participate in the Grand Competition this time, but Lou Mu Yan suddenly appeared and occupied the place.

If she couldn’t even refine a Middle-Level Grade 4 talisman then there was really no need to participate in the Grand Competition, so it was better to replace her as soon as possible.

Lou Mu Yan swept the materials he took out and placed on the table, but didn’t do anything. She smiled lightly and said: “I wonder if Senior Brother has High-Level Grade 4 talisman materials. If you do, could I use it?”

She could understand Jian Yang’s unreconciled thoughts. After all, just based on her cultivation base and age, she did indeed look as if she had walked in through a ‘back door’.

However, since he wanted to show his authority then she should naturally return the favour.

He was a High-Level Grade 4 Talisman Master. Then she would refine a talisman of the highest level to let him see and experience. Face slapping and all, she loved it the most.

Even if they may unite against the outsiders in the future, but it was still necessary to return the previous intimidation to even it out.

Hearing Lou Mu Yan’s bold words to request for High-Level Grade 4 talisman materials, both Jian Yang and Han Xin’s expressions changed.

Jian Yang chuckled: “Since Junior Sister has such a request, as a Senior Brother, I must meet it.”

After he finished speaking he reluctantly changed the set of materials to materials for refining a High-Level Grade 4 talisman then said: “What does Junior Sister think of this set of materials?”

These were materials he prepared to use to breakthrough to Peak Level Grade 4 Talisman Master. Since Lou Mu Tan was so arrogant, he gave it up to let her refine. After all, the interests and reputation of the Talisman School were more important.

Of course, if she ruined his materials, he would definitely appeal to the Headmaster for another person to participate in the Talisman Competition of the Six Major Sects.

“This set of materials is barely ok.” Lou Mu Yan picked up a Tier 8 beast skin randomly and looked at it.

“…” Jian Yang and Han Xin almost vomited blood when they heard her casual words.

What did she mean barely ok? This was the beast skin of an Advanced Phase Tier 8 Demonic Beast and the other materials were also rare Spars and Spiritual Herbs. Did she know her goods or not?

Jian Yang noticed the dislike in her eyes. He was a little regretful. He shouldn’t have been so impulsive and use the materials he was going to use to advance to give to this woman to waste. She couldn’t even judge the value of these materials. Could she really refine a High-Level Grade 4 talisman?

Either way he didn’t believe it!

In fact, Lou Mu Yan was really innocent in this misunderstanding. After all, there was even a Late-Phase Tier 9 Jiao Dragon corpse in her interspatial ring and her other materials and Spiritual Stones were much better than Jian Yang’s.

Not to mention the materials for refining High-Level Grade 4 talismans, she even had all the materials for refining High-Level Grade 6 talismans. Towards these materials that the other party thought was amazing, to her, they really weren’t much.

“Junior Sister, please.” Jian Yang resisted the urge to swear and made a gesture, with a fake smile, that she could begin.

Han Xin watched from the side and said nothing, but the suspicion in her eyes wasn’t hidden at all. She also didn’t believe that Lou Mu Yan could refine a High-Level Grade 4 talisman.

Huo Ling Long watched with interest the secret fight between them, her beautiful face filled with smiles. She actually also wanted to see how capable this girl was.

Although she had seen her toss the Grade 4 talismans out during the assessment competition before, but she had never really seen her refine talismans. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t curious.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t care about the thoughtful gazes of the three. She flipped her hand and a cluster of red flames leapt out.

She didn’t need to use her Spirit Flame to refine Grade 4 talismans. Using the flame condensed from Elemental Energy was enough.

She picked the beast skin, that was the main material, in one hand and placed it in her palm to begin refining it. Her other hand picked up a spar and similarly began to refine it.

“…” Seeing that she was splitting her focus into two to refine the main ingredients, let alone Jian Yang and Han Xin, even Huo Ling Long was stunned.

The former revealed an expression as if it was as expected. They just knew that Lou Mu Yan wasn’t a Grade 4 Talisman Master. It would be foolish to not use a refining furnace to refine and catalyse beast skins. She didn’t look like a person who knew how to refine talismans at all.

Jian Yang’s heart was bleeding even more. The materials he worked so hard to collect were now ruined just like this…

Huo Long Long’s opinion was completely the opposite. She was a Grade 6 Talisman Master so she could naturally see that Lou Mu Yan’s flames were controlled very well.

And although the flames leapt and scorched the beast skin directly, it actually had a better effect than putting it in a refining furnace to assist in refining and softening.

But no one disturbed her refining as they stared intently at the changes in her hands.

After successfully refining the beast skin and spar, she refined the materials on the table one by one and finally drew a few runes in mid-air and inserted it onto the beast skin, fusing all the materials together.

Her hands moved quickly through the pile of materials, orderly but also unorganised, because her refining method was fundamentally different to others.

Jian Yang and Han Xin didn’t blink once from beginning to end. Although they didn’t understand many details of her refinement but they carefully memorised it.

An hour later she fused and sealed the juice from a fire-attribute herb with the fire element demonic energy hidden in the Beast skin. A jade-coloured rune belt flew out from her fingertips and penetrated into the formed talisman.

Immediately, the talisman emitted a red light and when the red light dissipated, a talisman exuding a slight pressure landed in her hands.

“Senior Brother, do you want to try the power of this talisman?” Lou Mu Yan smiled and handed the talisman to Jian Yang who was already completely stunned and waved it in front of him.
