Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 737

Chapter 737: Chapter 740 Talisman [1st Update]

Hua’er had thought revealing this matter would worry Wu Tian and the others. She especially expected Wu Tian’s calm expression to change, at least a little.

But she found Wu Tian was still as calm as ever. He smiled faintly and said, "So what?"

"You..." Wu Tian’s composure left Hua’er taken aback.

A man like that is undoubtedly the most attractive. A sense of admiration bloomed in Hua’er’s heart.

But this was also why she worried about him, fearing that his demeanor might draw the enmity of Grandpa Tian Wen.

Wu Tian shook his head slightly. His indifference stemmed from two things. First, of course, was his own strength. Second, Wu Tian felt that if this Tian Wen was truly a capable and profound person, he would understand the principle that listening to only one side leads to ignorance, while listening to both brings enlightenment.

If he couldn’t grasp even a simple principle like that, then Wu Tian would have no desire to speak with him.

Now, Hua’er led Wu Tian and the others into the fenced courtyard. A donkey immediately came forward to greet them.

"Elder Donkey, is Grandpa Tian Wen home?" Hua’er asked respectfully, treating the donkey with great courtesy.

"Rest assured, the master is home," the donkey replied in a surprisingly gentle tone. "You’re a polite one, unlike the other villagers who just barge in. Sigh, it’s a good thing the master has such a good temperament."

Hua’er nodded. As a child, she had also bargged in without thinking. It was only after she ventured into the outside world that she realized just how important manners were.

"Follow me," the donkey said, leading the way.

Hua’er nodded and beckoned for Wu Tian and the others to follow.

Wu Tian had already discerned that this donkey was at the Ninth Grade of the Heavenly King Realm, a cultivation no less than that of the Great Heavenly King of Dogs.

Upon entering the thatched cottage, Wu Tian and his companions discovered it was a world unto itself. A seemingly small cottage on the outside contained an astonishingly large interior, with a capacity more than ten times what it appeared.

Wu Tian walked toward a wall and saw that the earthen surface, kneaded from clay, was plastered with talismans. The characters on them were drawn with exquisite beauty. The moment Qin Yuhan and the others saw them, they could sense that these talismans were anything but ordinary.

"Spatial talismans. They’ve altered the space within this house, haven’t they?" Wu Tian mused aloud.

"Correct... You’ve studied talismans?" the donkey asked, turning its head to fix its gaze intently on Wu Tian.

"A little," Wu Tian chuckled.

These talismans were not unfamiliar to him. Within the Doushuai Temple in the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House, there were volumes of celestial scriptures written by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad. According to myth, Lord Lao Zi, also known as Laozi, was the founder of Taoism. The celestial scriptures in the Doushuai Temple included records of talismans and spells. After all, drawing talismans was a Taoist’s signature skill.

"My master lives in seclusion here, wholeheartedly dedicated to researching the Art of Talismans and Spells! Wait here, I will go call him," the donkey said with a nod before departing.

Wu Tian and the others stood and waited. Inside the small cottage, Wu Tian swept his Spiritual Sense across the area and discovered there were more than a dozen large rooms. This Art of Talismans and Spells certainly had its merits. It was a shame that no one had strived to advance it over the last ten thousand years. Otherwise, Talisman Masters today could rival Array Masters.

With nothing better to do, Wu Tian began examining the talismans on the clay wall. The more he looked, the more he found himself comparing them to the ones in the Doushuai Temple.

These talismans are no match for the ones in the Doushuai Temple. He couldn’t help but shake his head.

"You..." Si Lin didn’t want to argue, nor did he know how. But in his mind, that wasn’t how things were at all. It wasn’t that he was too lazy to move from the starting line; it was that Heaven wouldn’t let him move! If Heaven wanted him to succeed, why hadn’t it given him a better family background? As the saying goes, one must first establish a family to establish a career. So, before letting him move, shouldn’t Heaven have granted him a beautiful wife? And of course, he’d need a powerful backer! Otherwise, what would he do if he offended someone important? But as it stood, he had no wife, no backing, and no family fortune. It was Heaven that wouldn’t let him move. Heaven was making him lazy, so what could he possibly do about it?
