Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?! - Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Chapter 174: Jiang Cheng? The Sect Leader of Linlan Sect!
“Fellow seniors, the entire conversation just now has been recorded in this Memory Sphere. I do not target any of the seniors present here. What I want to say is that maintaining the dignity and respect of the Immortal Sect is the duty and obligation of every justice-minded Cultivator in the Cultivation World,”

Jiang Cheng paused for a moment and continued, “I will make three copies of this Memory Sphere and submit them intact to the Enforcement Halls of Tongtian Sect, Linlan Sect, and Taixu Sect. I believe their legal literacy and sense of duty will not be inferior to mine.”

In the end, Jiang Cheng turned to Zeng Shi’an, asking very politely and humbly, “By the way, Senior Zeng, I almost forgot to ask you, do you have any more questions for me?”

Zeng Shi’an was now completely flustered.

His fourth-grade Talisman Master certification was obtained through legitimate examination, and he certainly wasn’t afraid of Jiang Cheng checking it.

But the crux of the problem wasn’t whether he cheated on his Talisman Master exam; instead, it was that this moment in time was very delicate.

A major incident had just occurred with the Self-Enhancement Talisman under his watch. Then, he was being reported for faking his abilities and not being up to standard.

This damn thing, even if there was no problem, was bound to seem problematic after an investigation!

Zeng Shi’an’s head was throbbing.

His original intention was merely to drag Tongtian Sect down with Jiang Cheng.

After all, Jiang Cheng was just a rankless Talisman Master and a freshman at university, young and naive, very suitable for taking the blame, the kind of grunt work that made it difficult to let him off the hook.

But who could have anticipated that Jiang Cheng would seem like the most troublesome of all the Talisman Masters in Tongtian Sect?

Zeng Shi’an was already regretting causing trouble for Jiang Cheng.

Without targeting Jiang Cheng, Linlan Sect would take the blame alone, and at most they would just fire the sub-branch president responsible for the Self-Enhancement Talisman certification.

By creating trouble for Jiang Cheng and implicating Tongtian Sect, his status as the Talisman Master Association President would be hard to maintain.

Because the blame not only wasn’t shared out, it multiplied and grew bigger!

Who the hell should he turn to make sense of this mess?

“Cough, cough, Jiang Cheng, as a fourth-grade Talisman Master, how could I not be aware of some basic knowledge? I was merely testing you just now,” he said.

Jiang Cheng’s face showed a sudden realization, “So that’s how it is. Then Senior Zeng, what about the matter concerning my Autonomy Talisman?”

Zeng Shi’an, with some difficulty, responded, “Well, this… I’ll discuss it with a few fellow daoists later on. However, you are also a victim of pirated talismans, this point we all acknowledge.”

“Then how should the responsibility for the Self-Enhancement Talisman be allocated?”

“The primary responsible person is undoubtedly Wang Xiaoqiu, this is beyond doubt. He not only pirated others’ talismans but also exploited special loopholes in our Association’s talisman certification, a truly heinous crime! Once Linlan Sect’s Enforcement Hall captures him from abroad, he will be executed immediately.”

Jiang Cheng nodded, expressing satisfaction with Zeng Shi’an’s response.

Wang Xiaoqiu, as one of the masterminds behind the grave digging incident with the fruit trees, being sentenced to execution was reasonable and in accordance with the law and regulations.

Evil for evil, a cause for celebration among the people.

“Senior Zeng, regarding the loopholes in Linlan Sect’s Talisman Master Association certification process, do you have any plans for improvement?”

Zeng Shi’an answered earnestly, “First of all, of course, is to perfect the internal certification mechanism for Talisman Masters within the Association…”

Cui Zhifei watched the back-and-forth between Jiang Cheng and Zeng Shi’an,

and he couldn’t help but have some strange thoughts.

Zeng Shi’an, after all, was a fourth-grade Talisman Master, President of the Linlan Sect’s Talisman Master Association, yet now it seemed as if he were reporting his work to Jiang Cheng.

After hearing Zeng Shi’an’s report, Jiang Cheng gave the following instructions.

“While there are indeed certain issues with Linlan Sect’s talisman certification process, it was not the main cause in this incident. Through my investigation and observation, I believe that the most crucial factor allowing the Self-Enhancement Talisman to pass certification was the communication issues among the various Talisman Master Associations.”

“If every association could communicate and interact more efficiently, it would surely prevent similar incidents to the Self-Enhancement Talisman from occurring in the future.”

“Therefore, I suggest that all associations jointly establish a ‘cooling-off period’ for talisman certification. Once a talisman is certified, it should not be put to immediate use, but instead, enter this cooling-off period. When communication among all associations is error-free, only then should the talisman be released from the cooling-off period.”

At this moment, Cui Zhifei was sweating profusely. As a second-grade Talisman Master, he did not dare to speak loudly in front of the department head, but his student Jiang Cheng, someone who did not even have a first-grade Talisman Master Certificate, dared to directly instruct the various presidents on what to do!

Is this reasonable?

Reform of the Talisman Master Association’s system was not a small matter.

Even Zeng Shi’an wasn’t able to directly respond to Jiang Cheng’s idea.

But for some unknown reason, President Li of the Taixu Sect was the first to express a willingness to give Jiang Cheng’s idea a try.

Li Qingge said, “I think Jiang Cheng’s idea is quite good. What do you all think?”

Seeing an ally leading the charge, Zeng Shi’an had no choice but to follow suit, “I also think it’s quite good.”

Gao Miao: ?

Gao Miao sent a voice transmission to Guo Xiuyuan, “What’s with your student? Aren’t we on the same side? Why is the pressure now on Tongtian Sect?”

Guo Xiuyuan replied through a voice transmission, “If I could control him, would I be sitting here?”

Gao Miao held his forehead in pain. Jiang Cheng made it sound so easy, but in the end, wasn’t it him leaving and patting his butt, leaving them to figure out the specifics?

However, since both the Taixu Sect and Linlan Sect had spoken, the Tongtian Sect had no choice but to express its stance as well.

“I also think we can give it a try,” Gao Miao said.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

Today, he had once again made a negligible contribution to the advancement of the talisman industry.

“If there’s nothing else, seniors, I shall take my leave first.”

Jiang Cheng stood up as he spoke.

Guo Xiuyuan looked at Gao Miao, who turned to look at Zeng Shi’an.

Zeng Shi’an could not wait for Jiang Cheng to leave.

“There’s nothing else, you can go.”

“Hold on a second.”

With a smile on her face, Li Qingge waved her hand, and a card instantly flew into Jiang Cheng’s hand.

Jiang Cheng, puzzled, asked, “Senior Li, what’s this?”

“A Visitor Card for Qingxuan University. It’s for entering and exiting campus grounds. Come visit when you have time.”

Jiang Cheng nodded, “Alright, I definitely will when I have some free time.”

On the way back to Lotus University, Cui Zhifei rubbed his chin and wondered, “Strange, why did President Li give you a Visitor Card?”

Li Qingge actually wanted to invite Jiang Cheng to Qingxuan University?

Wasn’t she afraid Jiang Cheng would turn Qingxuan University upside down?

“I’m not sure. Should I ask her?” Jiang Cheng said.

“How would you ask her? Do you have President Li’s contact information? I don’t even have her contact information,” said Cui Zhifei.

“I didn’t have it before, but, it seems she wrote her contact information, and home address, on the back of the card,” said Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng flipped the card Li Qingge had given him, showing the information she left for him to Cui Zhifei.

Cui Zhifei:

Leaving her contact information was one thing, but why did Li Qingge give Jiang Cheng her home address?

She couldn’t possibly be hoping for Jiang Cheng to personally pay her a visit on a dark and stormy night, to have a one-on-one exchange about talisman knowledge in her home, could she?
