"According to the Investigation Corps, the harmfulness of this thing is really low.
Basically, there’s no noticeable negative effect, and instead, it can increase the Qi Blood Value by more than 10 points daily.
An annual increase of three to four thousand, this kind of growth holds an extrely deadly allure for those Stele Realm cultivators in society."
"Even if we strictly prohibit it, there will be those who use it secretly."
Xu Ran narrowed his eyes: "..."
He knew this point. There are many bold and reckless people who dare to take risks, so what if there’s harm? Compared to the profit of gaining 4000 points of Qi Blood Value a year, the vague harm is not worth ntioning.
Do people stop staying up late playing on their phones just because it’s bad for their health?
It’s human nature to die for profit, like birds die for food.
Xu Ran shook his head helplessly.
The most helpless thing is that only he can sense the danger within the talisman.
He couldn’t help but ask again, "Uncle Ye, can you really not feel the eeriness contained in these talismans?"
Ye Ping shook his head: "I really can’t feel it. To be honest, only you have detected sothing amiss."
"Of course, I definitely trust your judgnt. As the Inspector, I’ll issue a ban when I return. Regardless of anything, this thing should be prohibited first. Let’s wait until the institute has confird it to be problem-free, then trial it for a year or two before using it."
Xu Ran nodded: "Yes, we should be more cautious."
As he spoke, he looked at the five ordinary cultivators and used his Horror Whisper ability.
"From now on, do not co into contact with these talismans..."
The terrifying whispers made the five of them feel dazed, terror floating in their eyes.
They trembled, looking at the talismans in their hands as if they were seeing poisonous snakes, and quickly threw them to the ground.
Ye Ping was surprised: "..."
"You have such an ability? You’ve hidden it well, kid!"
Xu Ran remained calm. He took the five talismans and used High-level Comprehension to observe them carefully.
Seeing the change in Xu Ran’s deanor, he concentrated on his research.
Ye Ping hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey, don’t get polluted again like last ti!"
Xu Ran waved his hand: "It’s fine, Uncle Ye, compared to the Mysterious Talisman from last ti, the pollution of this talisman is almost only one-thousandth."
"But while the pollution has decreased, I still feel a greater conspiracy lurking behind it..."
"Ninety-nine blood flesh altars, it might just be an appetizer, it’s accumulating power relying on these ninety-nine altars..."
"Now it’s finally unveiling its true sche?"
Xu Ran felt a chill down his spine: "A talisman that can increase Qi Blood Value without detectable harm will lure a large number of cultivators into a trap."
"The more people who use the Mysterious Talisman, the more dangerous and uncontrollable the situation becos... What if there are tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of talisman users? How terrifying would that be?"
Xu Ran harbors the worst malice in his speculations about the Resentful God.
Ye Ping leaned back tactically: "Your conjecture is bold yet reasonable. Rest assured, I will issue a ban."
In two and a half years the national Godslaying Squad selection tournant will be held, it must be strict."
Xu Ran nodded: "Good."
This could be considered a big gift for the Talisman Vengeful God.
Enjoy this gift well!
Trying to secretly hold the Godhood Ceremony in Jing Province?
Heh heh.
Although capturing the Talisman Vengeful God is tricky since it hides itself well.
But Xu Ran won’t rest until he does...
"In the future, co out from ti to ti to patrol, and conduct more Mysterious Talisman elimination operations. We must cause trouble for the Talisman Vengeful God, or I won’t feel at ease!"
Recalling how he was polluted by the Talisman Vengeful God last ti, Xu Ran holds a grudge.
Though he survived the ordeal thanks to his Purified Spirit Body.
But such a grudge must be paid back a hundredfold!
Back in the car.
Xu Ran’s eyes were bright.
Mother: "What’s the matter? No danger, right?"
Xu Ran shook his head: "No danger, just dealt with a few Mysterious Talismans. Mom, rember to tell your friends, if they encounter talismans of unknown origin, don’t use them. If they encounter soone using a Mysterious Talisman, report it imdiately."
Mother was curious: "What do these talismans look like?"
Xu Ran seriously instructed: "The talismans are not in my hands, when we get to the kindergarten, Uncle Ye will take a picture for everyone to see... In short, remind your friends to be extra cautious."
Mother: "Okay."
As they spoke, the convoy returned to the Demigod Kindergarten. Ye Ping imdiately took a photo of the talisman and sent it to everyone as a reference: "This type of mysterious talisman is extrely dangerous. Stay away and report it if encountered."
The mothers spoke in unison: "Understood, we will advise our friends."
After having dinner in the cafeteria.
The moon rose above the willow branches.
Back ho, Xu Ran practiced Divine Weapon Toss Nightfall Assassin in the yard...
...
The next day.
A swift ban was issued in Jing Province and its neighboring areas.
[The Investigation Corps recently discovered a batch of mysterious talismans related to the Resentful God, posing a severe threat to cultivators’ lives. A secondary pollutant ban is now in effect. The Investigation Corps and the Elimination Corps will rigorously investigate those using mysterious talismans, with severe punishnt for those caught secretly using them. Those currently using them are encouraged to surrender early. Anyone who voluntarily surrenders within three days will not be penalized.]
The ban was not only posted all over the streets but also prominently broadcasted on the news. People beca aware of the appearance of the mysterious talismans and their dangers.
However, very few voluntarily handed over the mysterious talismans.
After all, they had spent large sums of money on them, and the daily increase in Qi Blood Value was incredibly tempting!
The high increase in Qi Blood Value tempted them to take risks, concealing their covert use of mysterious talismans.
"Three days, and not a single cultivator surrendered?"
"Heh."
Ye Ping sneered, for he naturally had ways to deal with dishonest cultivators.
On the third night after the ban was issued, under Ye Ping’s command, the Investigation Corps and the Elimination Corps in various cities of Jing Province mobilized in full force to exterminate the black markets surrounding the cities.
This move directly obliterated the black markets, destroying many gray sales channels.
Not only were the sales channels for mysterious talismans destroyed, but also those for pharmaceuticals, crystal beast at, weapons, and a variety of other goods were all cut off.
Several protectors of the black market were arrested and directly imprisoned.
Initially,
society’s cultivators didn’t realize there was a problem.
But after a few days, the cultivators using mysterious talismans to frantically increase their Qi Blood Value realized sothing was wrong; they were consuming too much crystal beast at and had to buy large quantities!
Their only current channel was the regular official channels.
Going to the regular official channels would definitely get them caught, wouldn’t it?
But holding it in, they couldn’t manage that either.
Thus,
within a brief period after the ban was issued, all cultivators who purchased excessive crystal beast at were caught. Without exception, they were all using mysterious talismans.
"Inspector! In total, 400 cultivators were arrested, and 360 mysterious talismans were seized, plus the previous 5, making exactly 365... It’s estimated that this is the entire number."
The head of the Investigation Corps, Yuan Yan, and the head of the Elimination Corps, He Sifang, reported the situation together.
"It’s just a pity that the mastermind behind the sale of the mysterious talismans hasn’t been caught. According to the confessions of the black market sellers, a group of people in black gave away a batch of mysterious talismans for free, saying to sell them to help more people. After giving away the talismans, the people in black disappeared without a trace."
Ye Ping: "Alright! Well done. Up next, prevent the black market from springing up again."
"Yes, Inspector!"
Yuan Yan and He Sifang respectfully exited.
Ye Ping’s brow relaxed: "Although the people in black weren’t caught, Jing Province has beco much more peaceful. However, the Talisman Vengeful God continues to hide behind the scenes, hesitating to appear, so I estimate there will be another talisman incident."
"Where might such a thing be hiding?"
"Inside so divine statue?"
Ye Ping seed to have thought of so clue, imdiately lifted off the ground, and disappeared from the original spot. He was heading to the divine temple in Jing City to check out the truth.
...
On the other side.
Inside the Demigod Kindergarten.
Watching Uncle Ye’s recent exploits in sweeping the black market and capturing all talisman cultivators, Xu Ran’s face lit up with a smile.
"Uncle Ye is still impressive. Cut off the enemy’s supply first, and just cutting off supplies can track down all talisman cultivators. The Talisman Vengeful God must be furious now."
Xu Ran sneered, unwilling to show up yet wanting to complete the ceremony through tendrils?
Even your "tendrils" have been severed!
talismans, 365 cultivators; if left to develop, this would undoubtedly beco a formidable force. Fortunately, it was nipped in the bud, extinguishing the Talisman Vengeful God’s trial.
"Focus on self-discipline and enhancing strength as the main course. Occasionally stir things up to foil the Talisman Vengeful God’s plots..."
"As long as it doesn’t have enough sacrificial offerings of blood and flesh, it won’t achieve much. By then, it will be the one in a panic."
"One day, I will force you out and then crush you with bare hands... heh."
Xu Ran’s eyes shone brightly as he set a small goal for himself...
