Chapter 241 Old Man Qiong's Talisman

After the ugly monk appeared, he picked up a grass stalk from the side and started to pick his ears. He responded to everyone's greetings in a lazy voice and then said,

"I just heard your bet. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise I would have missed this good show. You should all know that I like to play like this the most."

The bearded Lu Shanze from Lingshou Mountain said,

"Senior Qiong, Fairy Nishang has already taken out the stakes for your Yanyue Sect. So there is no need for you to spend any more money, right?"

Old man Qiong turned around and asked,
"Oh, little girl in colorful clothes, what is your bet?"

Fairy Nishang said respectfully,
"Reporting to Uncle Master Qiong, Nichang is holding a golden silk robe that is unique to the Yanyue Sect."

When Old Man Qiong heard this, his eyes turned and he said,

"It's a golden silk robe. It can withstand a few attacks from a Jindan cultivator. It's really a treasure that's not inferior to anyone else's."

"But I have a few treasures here, so I'll show them to you guys."

After saying that, the old man took out three talismans and clapped his hands. In the middle of the talisman, there was a colorful embroidery needle depicted.

I just heard him pretend to say casually,
"I, an old man, have nothing to do, so I made a few invisible needle talismans. Anyway, I don't have many disciples or descendants, so I'll take one out and use it as my bet this time!"

Upon hearing this, all the Jindan cultivators were shocked, and their eyes lit up.
Li Huayuan said,

"Are you serious? This invisible needle is your signature magic weapon, Senior Qiong, and it is said to be able to fight against cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. You are willing to use part of its power to refine it into a talisman?"

But old man Qiong said,

"What's wrong with that? I'm happy anyway. I just ask you to accept my bet or not."

Lu Shanze of Lingshou Mountain said hurriedly,

"I accept it, of course I accept it! But this is something you, the Yanyue Sect, offered voluntarily. We don't have the corresponding treasures..."

But old man Qiong interrupted him and said,
"Haha, what are you thinking about? Old man, I know that our Yanyue Sect won the first place in the last Blood Trial. You will definitely be fully prepared for the competition this time. However, old man, my bet is not on the Yanyue Sect."

Everyone immediately wondered,

"What does Senior Qiong mean?"

Old man Qiong clapped his hands in triumph and said with a smile,
"Old man, of course my bet is on them!"

After saying that, Old Man Qiong pointed his finger at Mo Juren and the other wandering cultivators.

Seeing this, a group of Jindan monks were puzzled and asked,
"Senior Qiong, we don't quite understand why you want to take these independent cultivators hostage. How do you plan to do that?"

Old Man Qiong said happily, "It's very simple. All these independent cultivators are counted as one force. As long as their gains this time exceed those of the seven of you and they take first place, then I, the old man, will win. Otherwise, I will lose. How do you say that?"

Lu Shanze of Lingshou Mountain frowned upon hearing this and was about to say something, but unexpectedly, Li Huayuan and others hurriedly said,

"Haha, Senior Qiong is indeed a master with many unique tricks. Since Senior Qiong thinks so highly of these casual cultivators, then of course we welcome them wholeheartedly. Don't you agree?"

Taoist Huang Ning and others naturally echoed and laughed secretly, wondering why the old man in front of the dome was so blind.

Old man Qiong looked mysterious and nodded repeatedly.

"Then it's settled. I, the old man, will bet a Yuan-shaped needle talisman on the casual cultivator who has collected the most spiritual herbs!"

Everyone agreed in unison and quickly clapped their hands to take an oath. Even Lu Shanze, who looked skeptical, joined in at everyone's urging.

Later, old man Qiong laughed and said,
"Hahaha, the bet is settled. In that case, I, the old man, will be the one to mobilize the independent cultivators!"

The Jindan monks hurriedly made an invitation.

I saw old man Qiong carrying seven Jindan monks on his back, walking leisurely to the front of a group of casual cultivators, coughing and speaking loudly,
"My fellow wandering cultivators, as you have just seen, the seven major sects have arranged for you to enter the Blood Forbidden Land to collect herbs, but there are some requirements. We hope that you can bring as many spiritual herbs as possible!"

"Besides, you independent cultivators are acting as a whole. Whether I, an old man, can defeat these juniors this time depends entirely on how hard you work!"

"Of course, as the saying goes, a good general does not want hungry soldiers. In addition to the conditions I promised you before, three spiritual herbs can be exchanged for one foundation-building pill. If you help me win, the cultivator who obtains the most spiritual herbs from you will also get one of my invisible needle magic weapons!"

Hearing this, Mo Juren and the other independent cultivators instantly became very interested. Looking at the performance of those Jindan cultivators just now, even they looked covetous at the talisman of old man Qiong, which showed that this must be an invaluable treasure.

I only heard old man Qiong introduce himself.

"I'm afraid you don't understand the magic of my invisible needle, so I'll explain it to you. I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. I've been in the Golden Core stage for hundreds of years, but now I haven't entered the Nascent Soul stage, and my time is almost up."

"Fortunately, I, the old man, took advantage of my age and my cultivation was pretty good, so I was nicknamed the number one Jindan cultivator in the Yue Kingdom. And this invisible needle is exactly the life magic weapon that I, old man Qiong, have relied on to dominate for more than a hundred years. To be honest, this is also one of the reasons why I can dominate among the Jindan cultivators."

"This treasure is made of refined metals, and it also incorporates my own unique invisible escape method. It comes and goes without a trace, and hurts people invisibly. I am not bragging, I rely on it to fight against the enemy. Even if I fight against an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, I can make them fear me."

"Now, I, the old man, have used part of its power to refine three talismans. Although the effect is limited, it still has the magical effect of invisibility. For you, it is still a life-saving treasure. At least a cultivator in the Jindan stage cannot deal with this thing without any damage."

After hearing this, all the independent cultivators were moved.

Mo Juren was filled with infinite yearning in his heart. He knew firsthand the advantages and disadvantages of these talismans that surpassed those of the same level. If he had this invisible needle talisman that could threaten even the most advanced Dan cultivators, the power would be truly too terrifying!

I only heard old man Qiong continue to say,
"Okay, I've finished drawing this big cake for you. Remember, after entering the Blood Forbidden Land, everything should be focused on picking spiritual herbs. In addition, in order to help you concentrate more on picking spiritual herbs, I have prepared some things for you."

Lu Shanze from Lingshou Mountain's originally suspicious expression became even more solemn, but he could only watch old man Qiong, not knowing what he was going to do next.
