I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 521

Chapter 521 The mystery of [Thunder Talisman], the master talisman maker!

“Ah Qing, Ah Qing, the talismans you craft are so valuable! Just one can earn you so many spirit stones!

Why don’t you make a few more? Wouldn’t that mean we could earn even more spirit stones?”

Xiao Li’s voice echoed excitedly in Lu Qing’s mind after leaving the Treasure House.

The young man was amazed. He hadn’t expected Ah Qing’s casually crafted talismans to fetch over a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

If they kept selling at this rate, wouldn’t they soon have a substantial sum of spirit stones?

“Don’t worry,” Lu Qing chuckled. “I’m just testing the waters today. There will be plenty of opportunities later.”

Lu Qing’s main reason for coming here today was to see if the Treasure House was truly reputable as rumored.

At least for now, it seemed like it was a good business.

“Now it depends on when the Treasure House will react,” Lu Qing thought to himself.

As Lu Qing and Xiao Li chatted,

across from the Treasure House,

Master Wang stared at the [Thunder Talisman] in his hand, his face filled with disbelief.

“How is it possible? How can a mere piece of ordinary, low-grade spiritual jade be used to refine a Jindan-level talisman, and a thunder-attributed talisman renowned for its striking power!

How can it possibly hold such powerful talismanic force?”

“Master Wang, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this talisman?”

The alluring woman asked hurriedly, her heart pounding at the sight of Master Wang’s loss of composure.

Could it be that she had misjudged this time? Was there something wrong with this [Thunderbolt Talisman]?

“It’s seriously wrong!”

Master Wang’s words initially sent a shudder through the alluring woman.

But what followed stunned her even more.

“This talisman is crafted from a very low-end material, just the most basic, low-grade spiritual jade.

Yet, it can hold Jindan-level talismanic force, and a powerful thunder-attributed one at that.

This defies all reason. How on earth can it do that?!”

Master Wang’s hand trembled slightly as he held the [Thunderbolt Talisman].

He felt his entire understanding of talismans undergo a profound shock.

The enchanting woman was stunned. After a moment, she carefully asked, “So, according to Master Wang, this [Thunder Talisman] isn’t fake, but is indeed a Jindan-level thunder-attribute talisman?”

“Of course it’s not fake, but the method used to refine it is completely unnatural. I can’t fathom how it was done.

Low-grade spirit jade shouldn’t be able to withstand such a powerful talismanic force…”

Master Wang stared at the [Thunder Talisman] in his hand, muttering to himself, expressing his doubts.

But the enchanting woman breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the [Thunder Talisman] wasn’t fake, it was fine.

Otherwise, she’d spent 120 low-grade spirit stones on a fake.

Even if she didn’t lose her job, she’d at least face punishment, and possibly even have her wages docked, meaning she’d have wasted years of work.

As for Master Wang’s shock, she didn’t mind it too much.

She didn’t know how to refine talismans, so it was better to let Master Wang and the others worry about such technical matters.

“Ziyuan, this talisman is extremely unique. Don’t store it in the treasury yet. Let me study it first.”

Master Wang muttered to himself, gazing at the [Thunder Talisman] feverishly for a moment before suddenly looking up.

“That’s fine with me. Just keep a record, Master Wang.”

As a specially hired appraiser and master talisman maker, Master Wang held a high position within the Treasure House, enjoying certain privileges.

His desire to study the [Thunder Talisman] was naturally within his grasp.

Furthermore, the Treasure House always required appraisers to examine treasures.

“Okay, then, keep a record,”

Master Wang said, hurriedly taking the [Thunder Talisman].

He was eager to learn how this talisman, a low-end carrier of low-grade spirit jade, could carry the power of a Jindan-level talisman.

Returning to his room, Master Wang eagerly took out a disc-shaped magical weapon.

This was his unique magical weapon, and combined with his secret techniques, it could be used to identify and analyze other treasures.

This was one of the key reasons why he was revered as a master appraiser within the Treasure House.

Using his magical power to activate his magic weapon, a burst of light emerged, and Master Wang began to study the [Thunder Talisman].

This time, with the aid of the magic weapon, he was finally able to clearly discern the rune arrangement within the [Thunder Talisman] without damaging the talisman itself.

However, upon seeing this, his eyes widened even further.

“How could someone have arranged the rune array so intricately, perfectly integrating it into this piece of low-grade spiritual jade?

Not only could it withstand a power far beyond the limits of its own material, but it could also maintain such stability!” The

more Master Wang studied, the more astonished

he became. As a man of profound attainments in the art of talismans, he understood the sheer difficulty of achieving this feat.

“Whoever refined this talisman must be at least a master, perhaps even a grandmaster!”

A thought crossed Master Wang’s mind, a look of shock in his eyes.

“No, this matter must be reported to the higher-ups!”

…

“Master Wang, what’s the matter that requires you to look for us so urgently?”

Half an hour later, in a spacious quiet room, a middle-aged beautiful woman with bright looks and an obscure aura asked in a gentle voice.

Besides her, there were several others in the quiet room, each exuding a powerful aura, clearly masters of profound cultivation.

In the center of the room, Master Wang and the alluring woman who had received Lu Qing stood respectfully.

The woman, in particular, was still bewildered. She

didn’t understand why the building owner had suddenly summoned her.

Seeing several high-ranking members of the Treasure House present, she grew even more uneasy.

“Yes, Master Wang, I’m refining an important talisman, and you suddenly claim to have something extremely urgent and demand I come out of seclusion. Without a reasonable explanation, that’s unacceptable.”

At this moment, a thin, middle-aged man spoke up.

His tone hinted at a hint of hostility towards Master Wang.

“Of course it’s an urgent matter; otherwise, why would I bother the building owner?

As for you, Master Qiu, I called you here

because I hope you, along with Master Zhao and the others, can bear witness to prove that I’m not just talking nonsense,”

Master Wang said calmly.

“Let me bear witness?”

Master Qiu was taken aback.

He and the old man were both appraisers in the Treasure House, and because they both knew how to refine talismans, they were in competition.

Therefore, they had always had some issues with each other.

He was quite surprised to hear that he actually wanted him to be a witness.

However, after the surprise, an amused look appeared on his face: “Interesting! Let me see what exactly is going on that has you gathering so many people together.”

“Yes, I have a lot of things to do, old man. Master Wang, please tell me what you have to say,” said an old man in a gray robe.

“What I want to report is about this talisman.”

Seeing everyone’s urging, Master Wang didn’t hold back and directly took out the Thunder Talisman.

“A talisman?”

Everyone’s eyes were immediately focused on the object in Master Wang’s hands.

“This talisman looks ordinary, so why would you go to such great lengths to get it?”

Master Qiu was the first to question.

The others were equally puzzled.

There was no way around it; the jade talisman Master Wang produced was truly unremarkable, not something truly remarkable.

Only the charming woman was startled.

She recognized it as the Thunder Talisman she had recently acquired.

“Master Qiu, why don’t you personally verify the secrets of this talisman?”

Master Wang didn’t directly explain the Thunder Talisman’s mystical nature, but instead handed it to the thin middle-aged man.

Master Qiu hesitated, but then he realized that the owner and deputy owner of the building were all present, and that Old Man Wang wouldn’t have the guts to plot against him.

Ultimately, he accepted the jade talisman.

“I’d like to see what kind of extraordinary talisman you’re being so mystified about!”

Master Qiu took the talisman, briefly sensing its aura, and immediately laughed.

“Master Wang, have you been making so many talismans lately that your mind isn’t clear?

This is just a primary Jindan talisman. While it’s a relatively rare thunder-attribute talisman,

we’ve seen thunder-attribute talismans before.

Even top-grade Jindan purple thunder talismans are treasured in our Treasure House.

You summoned us all here for such a trivial matter? Are you getting senile?”

“Primary Jindan talisman?”

Upon hearing this, the others turned to Master Wang.

If that were the case, then Master Wang’s behavior was truly impolite.

Everyone was busy, and wasting their time for such a common treasure was indeed unacceptable.

Even the beautiful middle-aged woman frowned slightly.

However, facing the gazes of the crowd, Master Wang remained calm.

He said in a deep voice, “Yes, this is indeed just a primary Jindan talisman, but its inner workings are far more remarkable. Master Qiu, would you mind taking a closer look?” “

Inner workings? Okay, then I’ll take a closer look to see what the secrets are.”

Master Qiu snorted softly, then unleashed a secret technique. An inexplicable energy flowed in his eyes.

His eyes, radiating a faint red light, gazed at the jade talisman in his hand.

As he looked, he muttered, “Nothing surprising here. It’s just an ordinary primary Jindan talisman, and the jade used to refine it is even the lowest-grade, low-grade spiritual jade, coarse and unworthy of mention… No, low-grade spiritual jade?!”

As he spoke, Master Qiu suddenly realized something was wrong, and his eyes widened.

Master Wang had been waiting for this moment. A hint of sarcasm crossed his face. “What? Master Qiu finally figured it out?”

But by then, Master Qiu was too distracted by his rival’s taunts to care.

He stared intently at the talisman in his hand, his face filled with astonishment. “How is this possible? How can a mere piece of low-grade spiritual jade hold the power of a Jindan-level talisman, and a thunder-attribute power renowned for its destructive power?”

“Master Qiu?”

The others, seeing the slender middle-aged man’s astonishment, were startled. They

gradually realized that the talisman Master Wang had produced might hold some hidden secrets.

“Master Qiu, could I, an old man, examine it?”

Master Zhao, equally well-versed in runes, was struck by Master Qiu’s words and couldn’t help but ask.

Master Qiu instinctively handed the talisman over, but the look of shock remained.

Master Zhao, after accepting the [Thunder Talisman], immediately employed his own unique secret technique to examine it.

With Master Qiu’s words as a foundation, his direction of investigation became clearer, and soon, a look of astonishment crossed his face.

“How could they actually refine a Jindan-level talisman using only the lowest-grade, inferior spirit jade? How did they do it?”

“The secret lies in the formation runes within the jade talisman,”

Master Wang said

, drawing everyone’s attention back to him.

“This talisman, and the formation runes within it, are incredibly ingeniously designed, as if crafted specifically for this piece of inferior spirit jade.

Each rune not only fits perfectly within the jade’s crystal grain,

but also seamlessly blends with it,

creating a seamless, self-contained cycle.

The formation runes can unleash their immense power while also protecting the talisman itself.

Therefore, even this inferior spirit jade can withstand the power of a Jindan-level talisman formation!”

Master Wang spoke eloquently, sharing his previous insights.

However, after hearing these words, Masters Qiu and Zhao’s expressions grew even more astonished.

“Master Wang, are you saying someone specifically designed a talisman array for this piece of low-grade spiritual jade, specifically to enable it to hold the power of a golden elixir?” “

Indeed, I, an old man, have discovered this after studying it for a long time.

If Master Zhao investigates further, he should be able to see this as well.”

Master Wang nodded.

“Of course, I believe you, Master Wang, but it’s still too hard to believe.

In order to achieve this, the person who refined this talisman must have attainments in the art of talisman making that are far beyond our reach. He must be

at least a master-level talisman maker!”

Master Zhao said in disbelief.

A master-level talisman maker!

Hearing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman and the others who had been calm were finally moved.

If they were not quite clear about the meaning of the previous conversation between Master Wang and others,

they understood the last sentence completely.

There is no way, the title of master-level talisman maker is too important.

The number of people who can get this title can be counted on one hand in the entire Xiaocang Realm.

And the status of each of them is very high, and they are the objects of flattery by many Jindan realm powerhouses.

Even the Yuanshen masters treat them with courtesy and regard them as guests of honor.

But now, Master Wang said that the talisman he took out was refined by a master-level talisman maker?

“Master Wang, where did you get this jade talisman, and where is the master who refined this talisman? “

The beautiful middle-aged woman, the owner of this treasure house, asked anxiously.

“I don’t know the answer to this question either, so Ziyuan can only answer it.”

At this time, Master Wang pointed at the charming woman next to him who was already beginning to be dazed.
