Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 233: Chapter 212: This Child Is Not a Concern_2
Seeing Jiang Cheng’s resolute attitude, Liang Wu couldn’t help but suspect Jiang Cheng’s motives.

Normal people wouldn’t pass up the chance to make money.

One million Spirit Stones would be enough for a Ninth Level Qi Practitioner to prepare elixirs and magical treasures for Foundation Establishment.

It made no sense for Jiang Cheng not to accept his offer.

“Second Prince, may I have a word with you?” Li Youyuan spoke up.

Liang Wu followed Li Youyuan onto the balcony of his house.

Li Youyuan whispered mysteriously, “Second Prince, what kind of talisman do you want to draw? Can I draw it?”

Liang Wu: …

Li Youyuan added, “I only ask for five hundred thousand.”

“No, only Jiang Cheng can draw it.”

“Why? It’s just drawing talismans, what’s the difference?”

Liang Wu thought to himself, How would I know? The expert specifically asked for Jiang Cheng to draw the talisman.

“If there’s nothing else, Second Prince, I will take my leave,” Jiang Cheng said.

“Wait!”

Liang Wu stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Cheng, saying, “What will it take for you to help me draw the talisman? Is the money not enough? I can add more, just name your price.”

“It’s not about the money.”

“Then what’s the issue? I have connections on both sides of the law, I can easily solve any problem for you.”

Jiang Cheng replied helplessly, “As I’ve already said, Second Prince, I am fully booked. If you really need the talisman, you can wait until I’ve finished the current ones I am working on. How about that?”

“That works.”

Liang Wu wasn’t in a hurry.

After Prince Qi, Liang Chun, had been arrested, his competitors were down to just his third and fifth brothers.

Neither of them posed a great threat, so waiting for Jiang Cheng was no issue.

“What kind of talisman were you planning to have drawn?” Jiang Cheng asked.

Liang Wu confidently explained, “As the Cultivation Level of the citizens of Liang Kingdom improves, the challenges of fertility and parenting become increasingly severe, leading to an inevitable trend of aging within the kingdom. Therefore, I believe the funeral industry has great potential for the future.”

“So, you plan to have a talisman related to the dead drawn?”

“No, I plan to have a talisman related to the living drawn.”

Jiang Cheng didn’t immediately follow the logic, “If the funeral industry has potential, why draw a talisman related to the living?”

“Because the dead have no money.”

“Makes sense.”

Jiang Cheng approved of Liang Wu’s business acumen.

“In any case, it’s about a talisman that can help people dig graves. Can you draw it?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Cheng could not only draw it, he already had a ready-made talisman at hand—the Smart Puppet Talisman.

The Intelligent Puppet Talisman was quite useful; by tweaking the preset program and affixing it to oneself, one could transform into a relentless grave-digging machine.

Originally, Jiang Cheng had wanted to recommend this talisman to the Shadow Puppet Sect, to help them save money on puppet creation and to increase employment opportunities for college graduates.

His idea was to create a win-win-win situation with selling talismans, savings, and employment!

However, unfortunately, the Shadow Puppet Sect had rejected the idea for the reason that it “might violate labor laws.”

At the time, Jiang Cheng had asked, “Aren’t you a Demon Sect? Since when do you care about labor laws?”

Fan Yue had replied, “What do you think? It’s precisely because we’re a Demon Sect that we’re strictly scrutinized!”

After confirming the requirements for the talisman, Jiang Cheng began to negotiate the price with Liang Wu.

“No more than one million five hundred thousand!” Liang Wu insisted firmly.

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, “That’s too little.”

One million five hundred thousand is too little!?

Li Youyuan was taken aback by the deal between Jiang Cheng and Liang Wu.

His house was worth about one million, and even with renovations, it wouldn’t require one million five hundred thousand.

Yet Jiang Cheng had said it was “too little.”

Is this the kind of wealth a student of Lotus University should be dealing with?

“Then name your price,” Liang Wu said.

“Three million.”

The smart grave-digging talisman, as a minor modification of the Smart Puppet Talisman,

Jiang Cheng felt it wouldn’t be right to sell it for too high a price.

Three million was a relatively fair price.

“No.”

Liang Wu rejected the offer outright.

He had only been given five million by the expert, and Jiang Cheng was asking for three million right off the bat, which was more torturous than killing him.

Liang Wu bluntly stated the maximum he could accept.

“No more than two million. Otherwise, forget it.”

After saying this, even Liang Wu felt a twinge of pain.

He was even afraid Jiang Cheng would immediately agree and take away his two million on the spot.

But Jiang Cheng was just as firm, “No, Second Prince, it seems we are not destined to cooperate this time. Farewell.”

Liang Wu remembered the expert’s words and thought to detain Jiang Cheng, but then he thought of the two million Spirit Stones and simply let it be.

After all, it was just drawing a talisman, and with Li Youyuan’s Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, he couldn’t be much worse than Jiang Cheng, could he?

He would just have Li Youyuan draw one and tell the expert that it was done by Jiang Cheng, could the expert really tell the difference?

Impossible.

“Director Li, you can draw talismans, right?” Liang Wu inquired.

Li Youyuan was overjoyed inside.

He could draw, but not many, yet with his wide network of contacts, even if he didn’t know how, he could outsource it, finding a professional Talisman Master to do the work.

“I’ll do it for one million five hundred thousand,” Li Youyuan offered proactively, lowering the price.

Liang Wu, adept in the art of bargaining, said, “Five hundred thousand.”

Li Youyuan: …

So I’m only worth a quarter of Jiang Cheng?

…

After returning home, Jiang Cheng immediately began to contemplate the “Evil-Expelling Talisman” for Prince Liang Hong.

According to Liang Hong himself, Emperor of Liang’s grave illness and bedridden state were due to Evil Spirit Possession, which was why he needed the “Evil-Expelling Talisman.”

“Expelling evil” was not a difficult type of talisman to draw.

Essentially it belonged to a category of attack talismans, more specifically, it was a special attack talisman targeting the spirit.

This was because “Evil Spirit Possession” was itself a type of spiritual attack.

But the current question was: Can Liang Hong’s information be trusted?

Is “Evil Spirit Possession” objectively described or subjectively interpreted?

After all, many users of Willpower Empowerment Talismans, when overexerted, also experience a delusion of being possessed by an evil spirit.

That kind of “ailment” can’t be cured no matter how many times one uses the Evil-Expelling Talisman.

Jiang Cheng always insisted on the right remedy for the problem.

Now, without even having seen Emperor of Liang or knowing the details of his condition, he couldn’t possibly open the gates of heaven with a talisman and cure the illness even if he returned to being a planning genius.
