I drew a talisman to save the sun from its bleeding state.

Chapter 42 The Enraged Soul Reaper of the Underworld

Zhou Zheng was full of confidence and quickly began to draw talismans. Because of his experience in invoking (harassing) Lei Zu, drawing longevity talismans was even easier than drawing medicine king talismans.

Liu Zhen covered his face, now having a clear understanding of Zhou Zheng's bottom line. This guy truly knows when to work hard and when to leech off others without the slightest hesitation. He can paint a picture with righteous indignation and extraordinary willpower. This one is pure leech, no effort whatsoever, just relying on the sheer size of the backer.

Longevity Talisman (Taoist Talisman, Grade Two, Upper)

[Effect: Extends lifespan by twenty years]

[Blessing: Thunderous Vitality (Thunderstorms will slightly increase the maximum permanent lifespan—it's really just a tiny bit, not much at all)]

[Description: This talisman was drawn by Fu Xiuzhou by relying on a powerful figure, showing the utmost effort in currying favor. Lei Zu doesn't mind, but you'd better be sensible and stop trying to slack off.]

Zhou Zheng gestured for Xu Xiaoye to raise her right arm, and then concealed the talisman within her arm.

The next exorcism talisman is Zhou Zheng's forte. Using it in conjunction with the Five Thunder Talisman is incredibly effective. The exorcism talisman inflicts negative status effects on evil spirits, while the Five Thunder Talisman deals massive damage. The two, sandwiched between the notebook, work together to slam the evil spirit's head—the power is immense.

However, because he smashed them too fast, Zhou Zheng never clearly saw what negative effects the exorcism talisman had on the evil spirit before the evil spirit died.

"Turn around and lie face down on the chair. I'll put the exorcism talisman on your back."

"I'll put the Rejuvenation Talisman on your abdomen; just roll it up slightly."

"I'll put the healing talisman on your shoulder."

"Put the talisman on your necklace and wear it."

"Amulets, calming charms, peace charms... Let me see, I can put one more on my waist, and another behind my neck. I'll put the peace charm in your wallet."

After Zhou Zheng finished drawing the house-protecting talisman, he looked at Xu Xiaoye, whose body was shimmering with talismanic light: "No need to move. This is a house-protecting talisman. Just put it on the wall next to your courtyard gate."

After finishing drawing the Taoist talismans he had learned, Zhou Zheng let out a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Drawing so many talismans at once is still a bit strenuous."

Normally, drawing these talismans would take a long time. But for the sake of effectiveness and speed, Zhou Zheng could only use his spiritual power and mental energy to draw the talismans—the time when the yang energy is abundant is limited, and drawing talismans would indeed be more difficult if he missed it.

Liu Zhen, who had been holding back for a while, finally couldn't hold back any longer: "The first few were enough. What are you doing with these later ones? Are you trying to cure an illness or create talisman soldiers?"

Dude, were you having so much fun drawing that you lost all interest and went all out? Are you building some kind of super-defense system for humans?

Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his hand: "Don't move, don't forget the Rejuvenation Talisman and the Yang Gathering Talisman. Lest the power of the talismans be exhausted. As long as you don't use them all at once, you can continue to receive the blessing with these two talismans and the Blessing. Okay, you can get up and move around now."

After adding the Rejuvenation Talisman and the Gathering Yang Talisman, Zhou Zheng looked at his work with great satisfaction.

Although not strictly speaking, these talismans can not only cure diseases, but also greatly enhance Xu Xiaoye's resistance and defense against evil spirits.

Xu Fan didn't understand how to draw talismans, but he could understand Zhou Zheng's explanation. He raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead: "Brother Zhou, how much are these talismans?"

He had also sought out talismans, which were useful, but definitely not as effective as Brother Zhou's. Those talismans at most suppressed his sister's discomfort, allowing her to move around in a weakened state. Now, his sister's complexion was rosy and she was full of energy, like a wild bull.

Besides, anyone with even a little knowledge of cultivation knows how powerful talismans drawn in mid-air are.

Zhou Zheng thought for a moment: "Take some time to do some good deeds. Your sister does three good deeds every day. Give the money to the children in the orphanage. I have enough money. Giving it to me won't do any good. That money can only sit in the bank and won't do anything."

Not to mention how easy it is for me to make money now, even if I were really short of money, I could get a considerable amount of pocket money from my parents. I really don't need the money, and I can't think of anything I could do with it.

Xu Fan glanced at Zhou Ge's extraordinary abilities, then at his girlfriend with her weapons, and had no choice but to swallow his words and change his mind, saying, "Okay, I will definitely do as you say."

I was going to give them money, but after seeing their complete set of weapons and equipment... I think I should just donate the money to charity.

Xu Xiaoye stood up, stretched slightly, and even jumped a little, then opened her arms in surprise: "I'm all better!?"

Zhou Zheng corrected him: "You're not fully recovered; the talisman has only temporarily provided you with its blessing. During this time, you'd better eat well, drink well, and take good care of yourself to improve your physical condition, so you don't fall back into bed when the talisman's power weakens. Besides, this matter isn't over yet."

Xu Fan's excited expression gradually subsided: "Yes, it's not over yet. Brother Zhou, is there any way to find out who's harming my sister?"

Zhou Zheng raised his hand and drew five talismans, which he then suspended in mid-air to bless himself: "I'll investigate, but there's a possibility of backlash, so please wait a moment."

Liu Zhen remained silent, standing beside Zhou Zheng, raising his palm to gather lightning. Anyone who dared to turn against Zhou Zheng would be struck down with lightning as soon as he caught their breath, showing them just how powerful the Thunder Department really was.

Following his previous feelings, Zhou Zheng initiated a destiny calculation. This time, the original red circle turned into a yellow circle, and the sense of danger was greatly reduced, proving that it was right to use the talisman to bless himself. He probed forward with his mind, and a scene appeared in his mind.

The dimly lit, red-lit room was covered with strange array patterns on the floor. Streams of dark red blood flowed through the patterns, gradually filling them. At the center of the array was a black altar, on which was enshrined a twisted and grotesque statue of a malevolent deity... Zhou Zheng's mind instantly shifted downwards, avoiding direct eye contact.

At the feet of the evil statue lay a wooden puppet resembling a little girl, with several thin, purplish-black needles inserted into it. A very faint white mist slowly emanated from the puppet's wounds, and the purplish-black needles were slowly being withdrawn.

Zhou Zheng regained his composure and raised his gaze slightly. This was a residential building facing the street, with many shops along the street. He looked around and noted down the names of several shops.

Shut down the fate prediction.

Zhou Zheng looked up and saw that four of the five talismans that had been floating had burned away in an instant, leaving only one burning slowly to activate its power.

Liu Zhen asked in surprise, "What did you see? All four amulets are burned."

Zhou Zheng urged the remaining half of the talisman to burn completely: "Someone has set up an evil altar in a dark room to curse Xu Fan's sister. We must get there quickly. Otherwise, the enemy will discover the anomaly on the altar sooner or later."

Xu Fan gritted his teeth: "I'm going to beat these bastards to death! I'll silence them all!"

Zhou Zheng pulled out the shop name he had just found through his search: "Catch them alive. If they're dead, they won't be able to provide us with any clues. Don't forget, this matter is of great importance. We still need to find out where the seal is located."

Xu Fan calmed down, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "It doesn't matter if the body dies, as long as the soul remains, I can arrest and interrogate it."

Looking at his furious expression, Zhou Zheng felt a little sympathy for the unlucky guy who was about to be arrested.

In a perilous place, a young man in his early twenties single-handedly suppresses dozens of evil spirits, while his younger sister, who depends on him for survival, suffers greatly, and he harbors a pent-up rage that has been building up for many years.

You unlucky fellow, you'd better be really strong, or you'll be subjected to the most torture imaginable.
