Invincible Evocation - Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Greatest Investment

Ye Jianhao looked at Rong Kaixuan in disbelief. He was looking very strangely at Rong Kaixuan as if he was staring at a weird creature.

If he remembered correctly, Rong Kaixuan had taken a hundred blank talismans from him the last time. It wasn’t just one or 10. It had been a full box of 100.

Even though it had been around seven or eight days since then, Rong Kaixuan had also been unconscious for five whole days.

Ye Jianhao was no Spiritualist, but he wasn’t unfamiliar with them.

The creation of Sealing Talismans was quite difficult, especially at the sealing stage. If one was a little careless, the Spirit Body immediately burst into pieces and disappear.

In most cases, even a fairly gifted Spirit Gatherer only started to learn how to make Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans at the Middle Stage or even Advanced Stage Spiritualist level.

On top of that, the speed at which they made one was a snail pace.

If an Advanced Stage Spiritualist was able to make two or three Level 1 Middle Grade or High Grade Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans in one day, that would be considered a pretty good result.

The reason he thought so highly of Rong Kaixuan and even used his own money to buy two Level 3 pills to give to Rong Kaixuan was because he had seen how Rong Kaixuan had practically achieved the impossible when it came to those talismans.

This Elementary Stage Spiritualist created a Level 1 Supreme Grade Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talisman. Such a genius was worth the price to befriend even if it cost him a lot.

When he heard what Rong Kaixuan said now, he still fell into a daze. His brain nearly stopped working.

The most this young man would have had was three days to create talismans. Could he have created nearly a hundred Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans in just three days?

Ye Jianhao wet his lips and forced himself to put aside the shock in his heart.

He stretched one hand out and slowly opened the box.

His eyelids immediately started twitching uncontrollably.

The moment he opened the box, a powerful air hit him in the face. It was an intense sort of air. It was so powerful that he even felt fearful.

He immediately knew that the talismans inside this box were not blank ones anymore.

He took the talismans out one by one and carefully inspected them in full detail. After a long time, he let out a long sigh. He looked at Rong Kaixuan and asked, “Brother Rong, how… How did you make these?”

Rong Kaixuan blinked a few times and replied, “It’s very simple. You have to use the Art of Spirit Gathering to evoke a Spirit Body and then use the Art of Sealing to activate the talisman’s power, which will surround the Spirit Body and finally seal it within itself.” He paused for a moment and sincerely said, “If you want to learn how to do it, I can teach you.”

Ye Jianhao rolled his eyes and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You’re kidding, right? I’m not a Spiritualist, so how am I going to make talismans?”

Rong Kaixuan nodded his head and said, “Oh, that’s right. I forgot about that.”

Ye Jianhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “Brother Rong, I’m not asking about the process. I’m asking you how you managed to create nearly a hundred of these in just three days.”

Rong Kaixuan tilted his head and thought through the question very carefully. He said in an unsure voice, “It’s very simple. As long as you put in all your effort to do it and not be distracted by playing, it is possible.”

“Oh, put in all your effort and not be distracted by playing…” Ye Jianhao repeated Rong Kaixuan’s words in a murmur. His voice was beginning to crack a little.

His heart was shouting wildly that Rong Kaixuan’s answer was nonsense.

Was one able to produce more than 90 Level 1 Supreme Grade Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans in three days just by putting in all his effort?

Was this boy at the Spiritualist level or Spiritualist Mentor level?

If Ye Jianhao had not known Rong Kaixuan’s background, he would have suspected that this young man was secretly a Spiritualist Mentor pretending to be a Spiritualist.

Rong Kaixuan grinned awkwardly and asked, “Brother Ye, so how is the quality of these talismans?”

Ye Jianhao snapped out of his daze and quickly replied, “These are all high-quality talismans. You wait here. I’ll get someone to prepare the Spirit Coins.” His gaze fell upon the box and said, “You have 96 talismans here…” When he realized this, his face twitched uncontrollably.

He had these 96 talismans plus the four pieces Rong Kaixuan gave him the last time.

That made a total of 100 talismans. None of the talismans had turned out badly.

He was suddenly very glad that he had made the right decision. Even if he had to bankrupt himself, it was worth every penny to befriend such a genius in talisman creation.

He coughed quietly and said, “That’s a total of 4,800 Spirit Coins.”

Rong Kaixuan’s eyelid twitched a little. There was a joy in his heart that was difficult to suppress.

4,800 Spirit Coins!

That was a huge amount of money. Before coming to Qiangan, he would have never even dreamed of that amount.

After so much had happened during his first visit to Qiangan, he had matured greatly. He put his emotions aside and said, “Brother Ye, I just need 800 Spirit Coins.”

Ye Jianhao was surprised and asked, “Why?”

Rong Kaixuan quietly replied, “Because I want to use the balance of 4,000 Spirit Coins to buy blank talismans.”

“Ahh…”

Even though this was what Ye Jianhao was hoping would happen all this while, after he heard those words, he still ended up taking a quick gasp.

He wanted 4,000 talismans. That was a deal that sounded crazy.

Of course, as a manager of Donghua Treasure Hall, he had transacted even more blank talismans than that, but all those customers were either a huge family or very large sect.

Purchasing 4,000 talismans wasn’t a lot for such massive power.

But if all 4,000 blank talismans were going to just one person…

Just thinking about it made him shudder.

Ye Jianhao hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, “My brother, it’s not that I refuse to do business with you, but… This number of talismans… Won’t you reconsider it?”

Rong Kaixuan shook his head and said, “Thanks for the kind intentions, but I’ve already made up my mind.”

Ye Jianhao thought about it some more and suddenly suggested, “Getting 4,000 talismans is really a lot, and it will be hard for you to carry them all. Why don’t I make a request to my superiors and ask them to open a branch in the Rong house so that we could specially serve you?”

He was fairly confident that if he told his superiors that the Rong family had a talisman genius in the house, those stubborn old men would approve the request.

Rong Kaixuan was a little surprised by this suggestion and quickly waved his hands about. “Brother Ye, I don’t want too many people to know about this matter, so I hope you can understand.”

There was a flash of disappointment in Ye Jianhao’s eyes, but he wasn’t going to argue or fall out with Rong Kaixuan over something like this.

“Alright, I’ll go with whatever you’ve said.” He stood up. His gaze was focused. It was as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he clenched his teeth and said, “Wait here for me. I’ll be right back.”

Rong Kaixuan nodded and smiled. Requesting 4,000 talismans was a fairly large transaction, so it made sense for Ye Jianhao to see to it himself.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Jianhao quietly walked back into the room. He sat down in front of Rong Kaixuan and took a ring out with a smile as he placed it in front of Rong Kaixuan. “Brother Rong, I’ve prepared everything for you, so you can check them first.”

Rong Kaixuan was stunned for a few moments. He looked at the ring in front of him. He had a bewildered look on his face.

Ye Jianhao was equally stunned and asked in surprise, “Do you not know what this thing is?”

“No, I don’t,” Rong Kaixuan honestly replied as he shook his head.

Ye Jianhao’s mouth moved but nothing came out for a while. He finally asked in surprise, “Who is guiding you within your clan? Didn’t he tell you anything about something like this?”

Rong Kaixuan’s face turned slightly red. “Brother Ye, the Rong clan doesn’t have a Hall of Spirit Gatherers, so I’ve been studying by myself in the Hall of Spirit Spellcasters.”

Ye Jianhao was completely alarmed. There was a faint redness that spread across his face.

This boy was a talisman genius, yet there was no master to guide him within the clan. Was the Rong clan a bunch of blind idiots?

That thought only appeared in his mind for a second before he threw it out.

The Rong clan was small, but it was still a clan. If the people at the top were a bunch of idiots, the Rong family would have been wiped out by others long ago.

Even though he didn’t understand why the clan did things like that, it was probably for a reason he couldn’t figure out and would never be able to find out.

Ye Jianhao had another thought and asked, “My brother, are you interested in joining Donghua Treasure Hall?” His voice grew solemn as he added, “I can promise to find you a Spiritual Gifted Fighter level Spirit Gatherer to be your master.”

Rong Kaixuan was attracted by this idea. After a moment, he shook his head and replied, “Thanks for the kind intentions, but I don’t intend to leave home at the moment.”

The Rong house still had his parents, a cousin who had nearly sacrificed his own life for him, the Elders who treated him preciously, and more.

He wasn’t willing to leave the house for no good reason only to enter into a completely strange place and become a disciple of someone he didn’t know.

Ye Jianhao sighed quietly and said, “Alright, we can talk about that another time.” He reached out and tapped the ring on the table. “This is a storage ring, and there is a movable space within it. Your 4,000 blank talismans and 800 Spirit Coins are all inside.”

“Storage ring?” Rong Kaixuan froze for a while. He had never heard of such a thing before, but he could sort of guess what this item could do based on its name.

Ye Jianhao laughed and said, “Pick up the ring and fill it with either Spirit Power or True Qi to test it out.”

Rong Kaixuan nodded and picked up the ring. He filled it with a bit of True Qi.

His eyes immediately lit up.

The moment the True Qi entered the ring, he sensed a creepy yet mysterious space appear.

This space had 40 boxes and eight bags of Spirit Coins.

Rong Kaixuan’s heart started wildly pounding.

After a long while, he fixed his eyes on the ring and put it down. “Brother Ye, how much does something like this cost?”

Ye Jianhao laughed loudly and replied, “It is a present from me, so just take it.”

Rong Kaixuan shook his head. “I can’t. You’ve given me so much already. I can’t take anymore from you.”

Ye Jianhao’s expression clouded over. “Since you call me Brother Ye, you have to accept this gift.” He waved his arm dramatically and said, “If you don’t accept it, fine. I’ll take it that I never had a brother like you, and I will treat you like a stranger from now on.”

Rong Kaixuan had a sad expression on his face as he replied, “Brother Ye, that won’t do either.”

If this happened a week ago, Rong Kaixuan wouldn’t have cared for this relationship. After Ye Jianhao saved his cousin’s life, everything was different now.

He had to repay this favor, so he couldn’t just cut off their relationship like this.

Ye Jianhao burst into laughter and said, “My brother, be a man and don’t beat around the bush. So? Are you taking it or not?”

Rong Kaixuan took a deep breath and took the ring. He gratefully said, “Thank you so much, Brother Ye.”
