Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 290 The Youngest Saint Rune Master in the Western Realm?! Little Hongxi, isn't your sis

"Miss Shen," the branch leader beside Tu Miaoling transmitted his voice.

"Besides connecting with various powerful forces, the purpose of this Peach Banquet at Yaochi is to study that human skin imperial weapon! I will be heading to the council hall later; I wonder if Miss Shen would be interested?"

He knew that behind Tu Miaoling was a super strong expert who had taught the Talisman Saint!

If you bring it along, you might be pleasantly surprised.

'If I have the chance to demonstrate my Saint-level talisman-making skills, it'll be a good opportunity to boost my reputation…' Tu Miaoling nodded, her eyes slightly shifting.

"Thank you for your trouble, Alliance Leader Yan."

Ling Qingxue and Luo Hongxi are both senior figures, and both have great reputations in the Eastern Domain and possess extraordinary talents.

Although there are rumors about her, such as that she is the youngest talisman saint in the Western Realm.

But seeing is believing, and we must give Luo Hongxi a real shock!

Otherwise, if you appear too ordinary when you meet the other person, wouldn't they feel that you've automatically become inferior?

After the group ascended the mountain, Yan Nantian, the branch leader, led Tu Miaoling to the Yaochi Council Hall. The other disciples of the Talisman Alliance dispersed to make contact.

Soon, the two were led into the council hall by the Yaochi Elder.

"Haha, Alliance Leader Yan, you're still as dashing as ever after all these years!"

"Fellow Daoists, how have you been?" Yan Nantian said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

As the head of the Eastern Region Symbol Alliance, he had many connections and was chatting happily, while Tu Miaoling looked around.

There were actually very few young people inside the hall; including her and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, there were only four.

Two of the men had a restrained demeanor and sharp eyes; their very presence and spirit indicated they were extraordinary individuals.

'Zhang Taisui of the Ziwei Holy Land... Fang Tiankai of the Fang family in the Eastern Region...' Tu Miaoling was quite familiar with the prodigies of the Eastern Region.

The former acts discreetly and keeps a low profile.

The latter is quite famous in the Eastern Domain. He once defeated a high-level Huangji Realm expert while only at the Tianyi Realm, which caused a sensation.

The power of these prodigies is beyond question, but after Ling Qingxue and Luo Hongxi emerged in the Eastern Region, their brilliance dimmed considerably.

Especially Ling Qingxue, who just single-handedly destroyed a holy land, it's unknown whether these prodigies can maintain their composure.

'To be born in the same era as her is both tragic and lamentable…' Tu Miaoling sighed to herself as she looked at the woman talking to Su Wan, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Clearly, this is Luo Hongxi from the Tianyan Sword Sect.

Just as I had heard, Luo Hongxi was very pretty, and her eyes sparkled when she whispered to Su Wan, making her look quite adorable.

'I just don't know what her personality is like...' Tu Miaoling didn't go forward to greet her, otherwise being too proactive would be a bit too reserved.

After all those who were qualified had arrived at the main hall, Yaochi Holy Master Qing Nianwei led everyone to Yaochi Ancestral Peak:

"The reason for inviting you fellow Daoists is to examine the patterns on the human skin imperial weapon and see if there is a breakthrough."

If nothing unexpected happens, the patterns on the human skin imperial weapon must be one of the evil race's inheritances.

If we can discover something from this research, future human cultivators might have a better chance of success when facing the evil race and the powerful figures of the Eternal Life Palace!

The crowd remained silent and followed her to the ancestral peak behind Yaochi.

Zufeng is a place where sages cultivate in seclusion, and only the Holy Lord and Zufeng disciple Ling Qingxue are allowed to enter.

This is the first time so many people have come today.

After following Qing Nianwei into the mountain, the group entered a large, brightly lit cave.

On the altar in the center of the cave, the Jade Pool Imperial Weapon, the Heaven-Reaching Ruler, stands suspended in mid-air, suppressing a human skin and a charred, cracked female body below.

Surprisingly...

Besides Lin Lan, the venerable ancestor of Yaochi, and the saint Suyi, there were also a group of saint-level experts in the cave, including Dan Sheng Zhao Xincheng, Jian Sheng Zongheng, Tianxiang Valley Fu Ruomeng, Yaoshen Mountain priest Wu Ke, and Thief Saint Wu Kongshou!

'If even so many sages have no clue, I'm afraid we're helpless too...'

'It's good to broaden one's horizons...' Yan Nantian and the other invited cultivators all bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, esteemed seniors!"

"No need for formalities." Lin Lan raised her hand in a gesture of support, smiling at everyone.

"You are all cultivators from various professions or with extraordinary abilities. Come and see if you can find any clues in these patterns."

Even saints are not omnipotent. Even Lin Lan, who had entered the Great Saint Realm, had no clue about these two items.

"We will obey your command." The group bowed and then stepped forward solemnly.

We must be serious; these are top figures in the Eastern Region, rarely seen on ordinary days, so we cannot be careless in front of them.

Tu Miaoling was also very curious about the ancient corpse and human skin in the dragon tomb, so she stepped forward to examine them closely.

The ancient corpse also had faint patterns on its body, somewhat similar to those on human skin:

'These sages say that both of these matters are related to the Eternal Emperor… These sages must have already tried the usual methods…'

Activating magical artifacts, studying patterns and textures, and testing one's soul are all the most direct and effective methods.

However, even the sages could not find any clues, which means that these two items did not have the inheritance of the Eternal Emperor.

Either the methods are insufficient.

'Wanting to reveal the secret technique…' Tu Miaoling stared at the Heavenly Ruler, the imperial weapon in the void, and murmured to herself:

'Among my talisman collection, there will be a low-grade Saint-level ancient essence-drawing talisman that I can try...'

Everyone in the room was studying the situation, but Luo Hongxi seemed the most relaxed.

She was waving her right hand around by herself, and the rhythm made it seem like she was practicing swordsmanship.

Master Zhao Dansheng is right here, why would she need to study this? She'd rather take some time to practice her swordsmanship.

At this moment, she noticed a tall woman at the back of the crowd taking out a talisman-drawing platform and asking for some materials from the leader of the Talisman Alliance.

She moved the fastest in the entire venue, as if she had found a method, which attracted a lot of attention.

'To be able to get here at such a young age, he must have some skills!' Luo Hongxi thought to herself as she watched Senior Lin Lan walk past.

But no matter how powerful she is, she's not as powerful as her sister Qingxue!

Seeing Yan Nantian looking at Tu Miaoling with surprise and doubt, Dasheng Lin Lan asked softly:

"Young friend, have you found any clues?"

"That's a good question..." Tu Miaoling said, her tone neither humble nor arrogant, as she saw many sages approaching.

"Reporting to Senior, I happen to possess an ancient talisman in my lineage, the Essence-Attracting Talisman. This talisman has no power of its own, only an auxiliary effect: it can activate the inherited information within a secret treasure by borrowing the power of a high-level treasure or cultivator!"

"Like the Heavenly Ruler of Yaochi, once this talisman is affixed, it can cause the ancient corpse and the human skin imperial weapon below to reveal their inheritance. However, the talisman's level is too low, and we will need you seniors to carefully observe the strange phenomena produced by the two magical treasures later."

"It's actually a Spirit-Attracting Talisman?!" Yan Nantian's tone was filled with disbelief.

Just now, Tu Miaoling asked him if he had any ancient talismans, but she didn't expect that this girl would actually carve a Yin-Yang Talisman!

The power of the Enlightenment Talisman lies in its ability to activate the inherited information within magical artifacts.

Or, if you encounter a law-carved stone left by a powerful figure, or a sword stele of the Tianyan Sword Sect, you only need this talisman to have a chance to comprehend its profound meaning.

However, the medium for the Inspiring Talisman also needs to be of the same level, such as Saint Realm to Saint Realm, or Emperor Realm to Emperor Realm, to be effective.

Otherwise, if one is low and the other is high, it will be very difficult to activate them.

With the Jade Pool Imperial Weapon, the Heavenly Ruler, at present, using this talisman to draw out the secret within the human skin Imperial Weapon is indeed the best way to break the curse!

However, such powerful talismans have long been lost, and I never expected that Yan Nantian would have the good fortune to see them today.

After learning about the effects of the Spirit-Attracting Talisman from him, all the powerful figures' eyes lit up:

'It's definitely worth a try!'

Lin Lan bluntly stated, "Young friend, please feel free to use your skills!"

Her approval indicated that the Yaochi Imperial Weapon could be used for testing!

suddenly!

Yan Nantian seemed to have thought of something, and stared intently at Tu Miaoling:

"I remember this is a low-grade Saint-level talisman! You! You're the youngest Saint-level talisman master in the Western Realm?!"

'What?!'

"It's her?!" All the saints, including Zongheng, stared at her in shock!

News of the youngest Holy Talisman Master in the history of the Western Realm had already reached the Eastern Region.

Many people don't believe that a cultivator's secondary profession can compare to Luo Hongxi's.

How could one not be surprised upon hearing this!

Even the Great Sage Lin Lan looked at Tu Miaoling with amazement:

'It's her! In this lifetime, our human race truly produces outstanding individuals!'

It must be said that this trend is truly extraordinary, with so many exceptionally talented young talents emerging.

"It is indeed I." Tu Miao smiled and then picked up her pen.

Buzz!

A strange aura of energy emanated from her body.

As her clothes fluttered in the wind, dazzling Saint-level runes slowly lit up around her!

'She really is a Saint-level Talisman Master!' Yan Nantian and the others were extremely surprised. Even the Saints present changed their expressions when they looked at Tu Miaoling.

'To be able to refine a Saint-level rune master at such a young age is truly unbelievable!'

'Perhaps, her lineage is even more astonishing…'

Tu Miaoling glanced discreetly at the astonished crowd, and at Luo Hongxi, whose mouth was agape in the back of the crowd, and secretly gloated:

'Hmph, Little Hongxi, aren't you amazing!'

She's already built up her style.

Presumably, after Luo Hongxi realizes how formidable she is, she won't act like Ling Qingxue, who immediately calls her "sister" to intimidate her.
