Chapter 128 The Fated Workers: Han Li, Zhang Tie
The following day, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect told Nangong Wan and Lin Yue that he would be going into seclusion to refine the Longevity Netherworld Sun Fruit.
All matters, big and small, of the Hidden Moon Sect were handed over to another Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect, the cold woman who later forced Nangong Wanxia to become a Daoist partner with Wei Lichen of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
She is known as the Ice Moon Fairy in the cultivation world of Tiannan, and her personality is as cold as the dead of winter.
But since the other party is the second mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in Yue Kingdom, and the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect is in seclusion, only this woman can suppress the dissenting voices within Yue Kingdom.
As for Lin Yue, after repaying Nangong Wan's kindness for several days, he left the Hidden Moon Sect and returned to Yellow Maple Valley.
Upon returning to Huangfeng Valley, Xin Ruyin, Han Li, and Zhang Tie were invited over.
"Greetings, Senior Brother!" (from the cave dwelling hall)
Han Li, Zhang Tie said respectfully.
"No need for such formalities, please have a seat. I won't waste any more words of politeness. The main reason I had Ruyin invite you here is that I need your help with something. In the entire sect, and even in the Yue Kingdom, the only people I can absolutely trust besides Ruyin are the two of you."
Lin Yue got straight to the point.
Han Li and Zhang Tie sat down beside him. After hearing Lin Yue's words, they exchanged a glance, nodded, and said in unison.
"Senior Brother, please give us your orders. We will do whatever we can to fulfill them."
At this moment, Xin Ruyin also served each of them a cup of spiritual tea.
"This item is called the War Gourd. Its sole purpose is to collect the killing energy of war from the battlefield, and this killing energy is of utmost importance to me. Therefore, I hope you can help me leave it in the Seven Factions Battlefield to help collect the killing energy of war."
Lin Yue took out a black gourd that had been refined to collect the killing energy of war and introduced it to the two of them.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, leave this to me."
Before Lin Yue could finish speaking, Zhang Tie, who always obeyed orders, readily agreed, completely forgetting the fierce battle between the Seven Sects and the Six Demonic Sects of Tianluo Kingdom.
The two sides are already at the two borders between Yue and Jiang, and Cheqi.
There have been dozens of battles, and the number of dead and wounded cultivators has reached tens of thousands.
More than ten Core Formation stage cultivators from both sides died in the battle, a truly tragic loss!
At the same time, the seven sects of Yue Kingdom severely punish disciples who retreat in the face of battle or make excuses to avoid being conscripted for missions. At best, they are penalized with spirit stones; at worst, their magical power is destroyed. There is no leniency in this regard!
In just this short period of time, hundreds of people from the seven factions have already been punished to varying degrees.
Whether or not there is any attempt to avoid battle requires disciples who have no mission or have completed their mission to report back to their sect within the stipulated time! If they fail to return on time without providing a reason, they will be punished.
Of course, the consequences would be even more terrible if they simply hid and never appeared again, or fled to another country. They would face lifelong pursuit by the seven factions' law enforcement teams, and the pursuit would not stop as long as the seven factions existed.
Meanwhile, there was no place of peace in the entire Tiannan cultivation world, so even though Han Li was cautious by nature, he could only stay obediently in Huangfeng Valley for the time being and help Zhang Tie draw talismans.
Why help Zhang Tie draw talismans? Because Zhang Tie is the number one talisman-making master in Huangfeng Valley, and the number of talismans he needs to draw each month is astronomical.
If it weren't for the help of Han Li and others, even with the Tongtian Talisman, it would have been impossible to complete the task assigned by Huangfeng Valley.
Of course, the rewards offered by Yellow Maple Valley are also incredibly tempting.
Disciples like Zhang Tie and Han Li, in particular, do not need to go to the battlefield.
All you need to do is stay in the sect and focus on drawing talismans; you don't need to do anything else.
The more talismans drawn, the greater the benefit to Yellow Maple Valley.
Because of Zhang Tie, a master of talisman making, Huangfeng Valley was truly the envy of the other sects.
With its large quantity, high success rate, and great power, this talisman is unique in the entire Yue Kingdom.
Therefore, Han Li and Zhang Tie both seemed to be destined to be ordinary workers.
Now, Lin Yue can only entrust this matter to the two of them.
"Senior Brother, I can help with this matter. However, we might need your help to persuade the Sect Leader. Our current status in the sect is not ordinary, and the Sect Leader and several senior uncles and senior masters may not allow us to leave the sect."
Compared to Zhang Tie, who didn't even consider it, Han Li was much calmer and explained with a helpless expression the importance of the two of them in Huangfeng Valley.
To put it bluntly, Han Li and Zhang Tie are practically a sizable talisman-making factory. Staying in Huangfeng Valley would guarantee their safety, but if they left, they would become the primary targets of the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom.
The choice is either to annihilate them or to capture and subdue them, with the latter being more likely.
After all, there are few talisman-making masters like Zhang Tie and Han Li, even among the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom, especially their talisman-making techniques.
This has impressed talisman masters from various countries, who wanted to learn from him, but there are too many wars now, so there is naturally no opportunity.
Moreover, although Huangfeng Valley can only be considered a first-rate sect in the entire Tiannan region, the seven sects are now united and protecting talisman-making masters and alchemy masters like Zhang Tie and Han Li within the sect is not a problem.
Compared to Zhang Tie's mastery of talisman making, Han Li's mastery of alchemy has not yet been revealed. At most, he can only refine pills for his own people to improve their cultivation and raise their realm.
Why help Zhang Tie draw talismans? Because Han Li doesn't want to go to the battlefield.
The higher-ups of Huangfeng Valley also did not want the two to go to the battlefield. They believed that leaving Huangfeng Valley to draw talismans would be far more helpful to the seven sects than for the two to enter the battlefield and risk their lives.
But now that Lin Yue has spoken, Han Li can't refuse. The main reason is that if the two of them agree, it won't matter if Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley and the Core Formation cultivators don't agree.
Similarly, the two of them earned tens of thousands of spirit stones during this period, a number that would make even Core Formation stage cultivators envious.
But no one dared to covet them. Putting aside their identities, the countless talismans they carried were enough to give most cultivators a headache.
Even Core Formation cultivators wouldn't want to offend either of them.
After all, both Zhang Tie and Han Li were capable of drawing intermediate-level talismans.
These intermediate-level talismans are enough to pose a threat to Core Formation stage cultivators, especially when there are many of them, such as ten or eight used together. Even Core Formation stage cultivators would have to temporarily avoid their attacks.
This is why Lin Yue felt comfortable sending the two to the battlefield.
Even when facing a Core Formation cultivator, the two of them could escape unscathed thanks to the talismans they carried.
Using talismans requires consuming a small amount of spiritual power, but true essence and magical power are completely insignificant.
Moreover, the two of them possess far more than just talismans.
There are plenty of top-tier magical artifacts, heavenly thunderbolts, formations, and supernatural abilities.
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother Han is right. I'm afraid we'll need you to persuade the Sect Leader and the other senior uncles about this matter. We can't leave the sect rashly now, let alone go to the battlefield."
Upon hearing Han Li's words, Zhang Tie realized what was happening and quickly nodded in agreement.
This indicates that Han Li did not want to refuse, but rather had no other choice.
"Alright, I'll talk to the sect leader and the senior brothers. You just need to prepare."
"I know the battlefield is extremely dangerous, but right now, the only people I can trust, and who are capable enough to protect themselves, are the two of you."
Lin Yue nodded and continued to explain.
"We both understand. Senior Brother, please rest assured that as long as the Sect Leader and the other senior uncles agree to let us go to the battlefield, we will absolutely not refuse."
Han Li promised.
"Then thank you very much, junior brothers. If I succeed in cultivating this supernatural power, I will never forget your kindness in the future."
Lin Yue made the same promise.
Upon hearing this, Han Li's hesitation vanished instantly. Before he could speak, Zhang Tie, standing beside him, cupped his hands and spoke first.
"Senior Brother, what are you saying? If it weren't for you, neither of us would have been able to even enter the world of cultivation, let alone reach the Foundation Establishment stage. I could never repay such a debt of gratitude, even if I died a hundred times."
"The same goes for my younger brother."
Seeing this, Han Li followed closely behind.
There was nothing he could say; Zhang Tie had already said that.
"You two junior brothers are too kind."
Lin Yue shook his head and chuckled.
Afterwards, the group had a conversation about their experiences in cultivation, especially Lin Yue, who gave Zhang Tie and Han Li some pointers on their experience in forming the Golden Core.
Furthermore, he also passed on a portion of the "Tongtianlu" to the two of them and Xin Ruyin.
Lin Yue didn't value the "Tongtian Lu" much.
Compared to other things like the Panwu Great Power Divine Ability or the Blue Star Sea, the Tongtian Talisman, one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, was just a method of making talismans for him.
It's just that it's faster; I originally thought I could find the hidden method to become an immortal within it.
Despite studying and researching it for a long time, he gained no insight whatsoever; it was merely a technique for making talismans.
Moreover, if you want people to work, you have to feed them. That's the kind of good deed an entrepreneur should do.
After making arrangements for Han Li and Zhang Tie, Lin Yue went to the council hall of Huangfeng Valley to find Sect Leader Zhong.
As for Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley, his feelings were quite complicated when facing Lin Yue, the newly promoted Core Formation stage senior uncle.
Years ago, the other party was just a Qi Refining stage disciple holding an Ascension Token, and asked him to give him the complete "Eternal Spring Technique". Now, however, he is already his senior uncle.
The rapid change in his identity was so jarring that even the head of Huangfeng Valley found it hard to accept, as if it were a dream, yet he had no choice but to accept it.
Because this isn't a dream!
Upon learning the purpose of Lin Yue's visit, Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley's expression turned considerably more unpleasant.
"Uncle-Master Lin, can't the task you're talking about be done with other disciples? Why must it be with both of our junior brothers?"
After a long while, Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley finally spoke up to offer his advice.
Seeing that Lin Yue did not speak, he continued to look troubled and smiled wryly.
"Uncle Lin may not yet realize how important Junior Brother Han and Junior Brother Zhang are to the sect. Currently, nearly a third of the talismans sent to the battlefield by the entire sect are made by these two junior brothers. It is precisely because of this that the sect's junior brothers and sisters have been able to minimize their losses."
"Therefore, I really cannot agree to let my two junior brothers leave the sect, and I cannot even make that decision myself."
"So, the sect leader means that the sect needs the two junior brothers to help draw talismans, which is why they can't leave the sect, right?"
After listening to what Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley said, Lin Yue, who was already prepared, smiled and said.
"Indeed, the talisman-making skills of both junior brothers, especially Junior Brother Zhang Tie, are already the best in the entire Yue Kingdom, and should not be said to be the best in many nearby countries. If it weren't for the many wars we are currently engaged in, I don't know how many talisman-making masters from all over the southern countries would come to seek their advice."
At this point, a hint of pride appeared on the face of Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley.
After all, this is one of his achievements.
Of course, the most important person was Lin Yue. If Lin Yue hadn't introduced Zhang Tie to Huangfeng Valley, he wouldn't have had a chance at all.
"I taught Junior Brother Zhang Tie his talisman-making skills, so I am naturally familiar with them. Therefore, you can leave the talisman-making to me. I will also accompany my two junior brothers to the battlefield, which will reduce losses on the way and prevent damage from ambushes by demonic cultivators."
"However, to avoid trouble, the three of us will not be using our real identities, so we will need to trouble the sect leader with this matter."
Lin Yue smiled and explained the plan.
For Master Zhong of Huangfeng Valley, forging the identities of several Huangfeng Valley disciples was not a difficult task.
In reality, each sect has a number of Foundation Establishment stage disciples that they cultivate in secret.
"Alright, since Uncle has said so, then I can agree."
The head of Huangfeng Valley, Zhong, was not surprised at all that Lin Yue had taught Zhang Tie the art of talisman making; it was something he had expected.
Now that Lin Yue is willing to personally hand-draw the talismans, one can imagine just how important the task entrusted to Zhang Tie and Han Li is.
Under these circumstances, he dared not refuse and had no choice but to agree.
Moreover, drawing directly on the battlefield could indeed reduce losses, and given this advantage, he had even less reason to object.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sect Leader."
Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and smiled.
This matter is finally resolved. The next step is to go to the battlefield to collect the killing energy of war and draw talismans.
Of course, Mo Yuzhu, Mo Fengwu, Mo Caihuan, Xin Ruyin, and even Xiao Mei all know the art of talisman making, but they are far inferior to Zhang Tie.
Lin Yue was quite surprised that none of them possessed the same talent for talisman making as Zhang Tie.
However, Zhang Tie's honest and simple nature, with its pure and untainted character, is indeed well-suited to the art of talisman making.
"Uncle Lin, please rest assured, leave it to me."
"7
Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley nodded hurriedly.
"Hmm! These are two bottles of pills that can replenish vital energy and prolong lifespan. Although there aren't many, consider it repayment for the gift you gave me back then."
The sentiment of "Changchun Gong".
Lin Yue patted his storage bag and took out two more bottles of pills, handing them to Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley, saying, "Then, I'll humbly thank you, Uncle-Master, for the generous gift of these elixirs."
Upon hearing that it could extend one's lifespan, Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley was overjoyed and excitedly accepted the jade bottle without any intention of refusing, fearing that Lin Yue might change his mind.
"It's alright."
In the main hall of the Flying Cloud Pavilion in Yan Family Fortress, the person sitting in the head seat this time was not the patriarch of Yan Family Fortress, but a middle-aged man in black who bore a resemblance to Wang Chan. Clearly, the two had a close relationship.
That is indeed the case.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, what's your decision?"
The man in black turned his gaze to the patriarch of the Yan family fortress beside him and said.
"Does the Yan family still have a choice?"
Upon hearing this, the patriarch of Yan Family Fort gave a wry smile.
