Chapter 1238: Who''s Your Daddy?
When Shen Chongshan returned to the Wanyun Association and mentioned how he hadmissioned Shang Xia to craft the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman, handed over the inheritance, and arranged for it to bepleted in 3 months, Gong Zhuo nearly had a heart attack.
Gong Zhuo wasn’t worried about the inheritance of their Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman being leaked to others as from the current situation, Shen Chongshan’s decision wasn’t actually hard to ept.
It was the fact that Shen Chongshan made Shang Xia agree to craft the talisman in 3 months!
Knowing how difficult it was to craft the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman, Gong Zhuo didn’t believe that Shang Xia would be able toplete it in 3 months.
If it truly was as easy as it seemed, thest time the talisman was created in the Essence Xing World wouldn’t be more than 200 years ago!
Actually, ever since the talisman was created by the rank seven Talisman Grandmaster, not a single rank six Talisman Grandmaster had sessfully created it. They had onlymissioned the talismans from those supreme experts in the dao of talismans back then.
It didn’t matter to him that Shang Xia wouldn’t be able to craft it by the deadline Shen Chongshan set. Instead, Gong Zhuo was afraid that if Shang Xia failed, he would feel enraged or humiliated, causing their rtionship to be strained. He spent a lot of effort forming a rtionship with the mighty rank six Talisman Grandmaster, and he didn’t wish for his efforts to go up in smoke!
To him, even if Shang Xia failed to craft the talisman, he was still a super expert who had already proven his skills by crafting 10 rank six Formation Talismans in 2 months.
Even in their Essence World, Talisman Grandmasters at his level were rare, and every single one of them had an exalted status. All of them were worth the Wanyun Association’s sincere effort to befriend, but even if they tried, those Talisman Grandmasters in their world wouldn’t pay too much attention to them.Shang Xia, on the other hand, only had the Wanyun Association as his avenue to trade with the Essence Xing World and Gong Zhuo didn’t wish to damage the trust they had just established with themission of the Formation Talismans.
When Shang Xia’s clone barely managed to learn about their intentions, and when they were still worried about the repercussions, Shang Xia’s true body sent news that hepleted the talisman.
<em>He actually made it?!</em>
<em>What the fuck that’s impossible!</em>
Gong Zhuo’s first reaction was to doubt it.
His second reaction was to wonder if Shang Xia was actually a reclusive rank seven Talisman Grandmaster hiding his true identity.
As for Shen Chongshan… His brain basically fried itself as he muttered in a daze, “He did it… It’s done… It’s actually created…”
…
Shang Xia looked at the talisman that was filled with countless runes of different colors that resembled clouds floating about on the talisman paper. Complex emotions filled his heart, and he felt somewhat emotional.
Even he didn’t expect that he would seed so quickly…
He thought that he would need to fail at least 2 more times in order to properly grasp the essence of crafting the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman, but as it turned out, luck would sometimes descend on someone like Shang Xia who had never believed in it.
On his fifth attempt, he had alreadypleted his deduction of the first half of the talisman and everything went pretty smoothly. He was nning to muck about with the second half and try to follow the inheritance as closely as he could. There were many unknown factors whenpleting the talisman, but he actually fumbled his way into the correct answer. He didn’t make any more mistakes and hepleted the Myiard Tinted Cloud Talisman.
Shang Xia was struck silly as he held the talisman in his hand. He couldn’t understand how he seeded when there were still so many parts he hadn’t fullyprehended.
Eventually, he snapped out of his confusion.
<em>Well, every dog has its day!</em>
He didn''t know if it was because of his reflection after crafting the talisman, but he actually learned a lot. What he understood surpassed each of the times he failed before.
He even discovered the other functionalities of the talisman. Other than its defensive properties, evasion properties, and concealment properties, it also contained 2 different spatial properties.
The first was to keep something floating in space. A good example would be the formations on Star Ships.
The second was the ability to shrink and erge space.
With his discovery, Shang Xia had his guesses on why the Wanyun Association ced such great importance on the talisman.
When he was prepared to celebrate his sess, he received news from his clone that Gong Zhuo and Shen Chongshan had arrived, causing him to hold off on his ns for the time being.
He didn’t think that they woulde earlier than expected, and Gong Zhuo woulde with Shen Chongshan.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Shang Xia made his way over, he could see the strange look in their eyes when he was still some distance away.
The moment they caught sight of him, Gong Zhuo couldn’t wait. He yelled, “True Immortal Shang, did you… Did you really craft the talisman?!”
Holding the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman in his hand, Shang Xia chuckled, “The difficulty of crafting this talisman is off the charts! It’s the most difficult talisman I ever tried my hands at, and the only reason Ipleted it is through sheer luck!”
It truly was because of his luck this time. However, there wasn’t anything trivial about it. It was as thoughdy luck had descended and held his hand when he was crafting the talisman.
Gong Zhuo and Shen Chongshan didn’t think the same. Instead, they felt that he was only being humble!
The Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman wasparable to a rank seven talisman in terms of difficulty, and there was no way an inexperienced fool would be able to craft it even with a stroke of luck…
They felt that Shang Xia was trying too hard to y it down, but they couldn’t be bothered with the details at the moment. Their attention was drawn to the talisman in Shang Xia’s hand that resembled a beautiful cloud.
“This… This really is the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman!”
“Martial Uncle, can this talisman really get us out of what we’re going through?”
“Yes.” Gong Zhuo couldn’t hold back and he gasped, “This really came in our time of need…”
