Chapter 444: Trade

POSTED ON AUGUST 14, 2023 BY KEN

Hearing Si Nan’s words, Fang Linyan immediately added in his mind,

“Is this forcing me to find your senior apprentice?”

“You are also very scheming. You specially arranged such a countermeasure to prevent me from not bringing your news back.”

But even though Fang Linyan was slandering in his belly, he was the one asking for help, so he said respectfully,

“Sir is right. What do you want me to do next?”

Si Nan sighed and said very sadly,

“When I went out this time, I didn’t expect to die here at all, so I didn’t prepare for my death.”

“What I want you to do is to bring a few of my last words.”

Speaking of this, Si Nan said in a stern voice,

“The key is that in my current situation, everything I touch will be burned. I have no way to write a letter at all.”

“So everything can only be dictated. You have to memorize it. It’s important. A wrong word may be life-threatening. If you forget, you must be honest.”

Fang Linyan immediately said after hearing this,

“If that’s the case, I have an idea.”

After finishing speaking, he let [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] fly down and said,

“My mechanism bird is ingeniously designed. Its blueprints are from the Ancient Mohist. It is good at recording human language, then retells it word for word.”

Fang Linyan put it in a complicated way, but it was actually the function of sending voice messages on phone apps…

After hearing this, Si Nan said in surprise,

“Oh? The mechanism bird of the Ancient Mohist actually has such a miraculous ability!?”

Fang Linyan said with emotion,

“Yeah, I heard that it was developed by a guy named Zhang. He worked in the post station (post office) at first! He was fired and forced to embark on the pinnacle of his life to make a fortune.”

Si Nan shook his head repeatedly and said,

“I still can’t believe it. Can you let me try its ability to record human language?”

Fang Linyan said,

“Sure.”

Si Nan said,

“Can we start now?”

Fang Linyan said,

“Yeah, say something. I promise the tone of voice is exactly the same as yours.”

Si Nan was silent for 10 seconds,

“What should I say?”

Fang Linyan,

“… If you don’t know what to say, you at least know the Three Character Classic right!”

Si Nan’s eyes lit up. Suddenly, he said a long paragraph to [Mechanical Gyrfalcon],

“The god of the valley is immortal, it is called Xuanmu. The gate of Xuanmu is called the root of heaven and earth. If it exists continuously, it is not used diligently…”

He spoke in one breath for about 30 seconds before stopping, then he looked at Fang Linyan expectantly.

Fang Linyan controlled with his mind, and the recording device of [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] naturally played his voice.

When [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] only said 2 words, Si Nan shook his head in shock and said,

“No! How could this be my voice? My junior sisters all said that my voice is very nice!”

Then he suddenly realized,

“There must be a little person in there who has a good memory and remembered what I said and is repeating it!”

Fang Linyan was stunned and couldn’t help rolling his eyes. He didn’t know what to say for a while.

Is it that I should explain that when you speak, your voice is transmitted to your ears through the bones?

When you listen to someone else’s speech, the sound is transmitted through the air to the auditory organs?

Then the question arises, if the curious baby, Si Nan, asks me what is air, wouldn’t I have to explain Lavoisier…?

Fortunately, at this time, Si Nan still knew he was ignorant, so he sighed regretfully,

“Although your little beastkin’s voice is quite harsh like a drake’s voice, it really repeats exactly the same. Can you play it again for me?”

Fang Linyan did so.

Si Nan nodded and said,

“Okay, I’ll start then, let me know when you’re ready.”

Then Fang Linyan quickly made a hand gesture. Si Nan started to talk endlessly. He even burst into tears when he talked about the emotional part…

Fang Linyan next to him sighed very sadly, because he felt that he had encountered a true chatterbox or an absolute sense of mic hog.

When Fang Linyan began to worry about whether Si Nan still had the energy to draw Golden Crow Calamity Transition Talisman, he finally left [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] reluctantly, but he suddenly came up with another sentence,

“Junior Sister, remember to mend the hole in the bellyband…”

Fortunately, Si Nan returned to normal after that, showing the demeanor of a master. Suddenly, he torn a palm-sized skin from his thigh.

At this time, the blood in this guy’s body was vigorously transpiring. After spreading this piece of skin on his palm for a while, it had already transpired into leather.

The wound on the thigh repaired itself with excess medicinal power.

Immediately afterward, Si Nan bit his finger and drew on the leather with his own blood. He specialized in this field, so it was done in one go.

Si Nan looked at it carefully for a while, then he sighed and said,

“Probably it is the pinnacle talisman I have drawn in my life.”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Fang Linyan, and a phoenix phantom appeared behind this talisman, flying toward him.

After Fang Linyan saw the phoenix phantom, he was thoughtful. When he caught this talisman, he immediately got a prompt,

Attention, Contestant ZB419! You got a special story item: Golden Crow Calamity Transition Talisman!

Golden Crow Calamity Transition Talisman (Temporary)

Quality: Quasi-golden story item

Introduction: This item must be drawn by a Zhong Nan Mountain’s qi cultivator who has practiced: “Clear Void Moral Scripture”, and must have at least the Golden Pellet Stage. Under normal circumstances, drawing this talisman will reduce the maker’s cultivation by 30% and life expectancy by a hundred years.

Special Effect: [Fate Change], transfer most of the negative effects on the wearer to the designated target. The designated target must have life.

The effect of [Fate Change] has a law effect, priority [ authority (crush damage carries this feature) < law effect. It can even compete with certain unimportant rules formulated by the Space.

Special Negative Effect: {Incomplete}, this talisman was infused with a lot of dead energy when it was drawn, so it will be destroyed after 36 hours. Using the special effect will speed up the damage process.

Looking at the attributes of the Golden Crow Calamity Transition Talisman, Fang Linyan gasped. This should be the most advanced thing he had ever seen.

Quasi-golden story item, if this thing did not have {Incomplete}, then it should be a golden story item.

Of course, the most domineering fact about this item was the law effect that came with the [Fate Change]. It could even resist certain Space’s rules.

No wonder Si Nan swears that he can shield my ‘calamity’! He really didn’t lie about it.

At this time, Si Nan let out a long sigh, bit his finger, and suddenly drew a few strokes toward Fang Linyan. Fang Linyan suddenly felt a lot lighter, then he got a prompt,

“You have obtained the blessing of the [Golden Light Sprint Spell]. Your movement speed has increased by 200 points! The duration is 3 hours.”

“However, during the process of blessing this technique, you cannot attack or be attacked by other people, otherwise it will lose its effect.”

At this time, Si Nan became sluggish. He said hoarsely,

“My time has come. You should set off to find my senior brother. He is in the Rain Fairy Temple in Pingkang Mansion. His dao name is Venerable Qing Jing, and he is about two hundred miles away from here.”

“Fortunately, 10 miles to the west is the official road. If you walk north along the official road, you can easily find Pingkang Mansion.”

Having said that, he said very solemnly,

“Later, the true flames will consume my brain. At that time, I will lose all my sanity and attack all the living things around me madly.”

“You must stay away as soon as possible. If you are met by me who has lost my mind, you will definitely die. Remember! You must remember that! Now go.”

Fang Linyan’s eyes moved slightly. He sighed and said,

“Okay, take care. I will leave now.”

After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan walked toward the west without looking back.

Si Nan stood on the spot and watched him go away, then he suddenly raised his head to the sky and screamed in pain. His eyes, ears, mouth, and nose all burst into flames. His whole body turned into a big cluster of flames.

This flame was obviously similar to the Samadhi True Flame in the previous Zhu Ganglie oven. The temperature didn’t seem high, but it actually had the power of burning heaven and earth.

Immediately afterward, this cluster of raging flames exploded and finally disappeared.

However, after about 10 minutes, Fang Linyan, who was supposed to leave, turned back again.

He snapped his fingers at Rubes, and it immediately turned on the visual tracking mode. This time it was tracking the special smell from Si Nan’s body.

In the vision shared by Rubes, where Si Nan stayed, the smell was a blazing white color, which was full of destruction and decay.

Following the scent, Fang Linyan dug out a bright red bead the size of a finger under a rock.

The color of this bead was as red as blood. It not only had the life redness of viscous plasma, but it also had the redness of raging flames that could burn the world.

He was full of anticipation when he dug the bead, but after getting it, he sighed instead. After putting it into his private storage space, he officially embarked on the journey to Pingkang Mansion.

The reason why Fang Linyan sighed was because of the introduction of this bead.

Nirvana Bead

First, the cultivator himself must be a pure yin horoscope.
