Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Trial of the Three Elixirs

Translator: 549690339

Under normal circumstances, sending someone like Lu Wang or Yu Hui to find Jiang Cheng would suffice.

After all, no matter what, Jiang Cheng was only a high school student in the Qi Cultivation Stage. A bona fide, powerless, and statusless commoner.

There was absolutely no need for the Helmsman of the Tongtian Sect’s branch to personally take a trip for this matter.

However, Peng Jun was extremely curious about Jiang Cheng.

Because all of them, including his Core Formation friend Lei Buxiao, knew Jiang Cheng!

Not only did they know him, but there was also a sense of familiarity with Jiang Cheng in their conversations.

It was as if everyone in their Wuyue Tongtian Sect had been invited to a party by Jiang Cheng, even Lei Buxiao from the neighboring Linlan Sect, and yet the Branch Helmsman himself was the only one not called.

Peng Jun really wanted to meet this young practitioner in the Qi Cultivation Stage, to see what kind of ability he had to lead a group of fellow sect members in the Tongtian Sect and ostracize him, the Branch Helmsman, in such a fairy-like bullying manner.

Peng Jun wanted to meet Jiang Cheng.

Lanye wanted to meet Jiang Cheng even more.

He wanted to see which great power had reincarnated as Jiang Cheng, who, with just a body in the Qi Cultivation Stage, could cause such upheaval in vast bodies of water like the Wu River and the Ming River!

Both Peng Jun and Lanye had their own motives for taking action personally.

And there was even less need to mention Lei Buxiao.

Lei Buxiao had to witness this drama from beginning to end today, regretting any second he missed for ten years. No, twenty years!

Thus, with the tacit cooperation of the three Core Formation cultivators, the scene of the three of them entering Weishou Restaurant one after the other unfolded.

There were not a few guests at Sun Yuan’s academic advancement banquet, all of whom were influential figures in their respective fields. However, not one of them could recognize Peng Jun.

Because the power of the Immortal Sects was not the dynastic power of the Liang Kingdom, Immortal Sects did not need to play to the public; on the contrary, the more mysterious and unpredictable, the better. This gave them more prestige.

Lanye was even more unfamiliar to everyone because the last time he came to Wuyue, the majority of the people in the room had not yet been born.

Lei Buxiao was somewhat “famous” in comparison.

People like Sun Qing and Yang Lingbao had all met him once before.

Although the guests could not identify Peng Jun and Lanye, even fools knew how rare Core Formation cultivators were in Wuyue, and not one of them should be taken lightly.

“May I ask who is Jiang Cheng, Jiang?” Peng Jun spoke up.

His words were polite, and his tone was as calm as still water, betraying no emotion, making it impossible to tell if he had come to celebrate or to trouble Jiang Cheng.

Faced with a Core Formation cultivator, everyone in the room instinctively felt fear.

Those who were not mentally stout, such as Chen Shuai, had their teeth keeping a beat, and their legs swaying, only lacking a lead singer to form a rock band.

But Jiang Cheng stood up as composedly as always, speaking as though he was talking to an ordinary friend, neither servile nor overbearing, “Senior, I am Jiang Cheng whom you’re looking for.”

Peng Jun quickly glanced at Jiang Cheng, feeling that this young cultivator seemed unusually normal, entirely unlike the cunning and deceitful kind who would threaten the Aquatic Tribe.

Lanye looked displeased.

Lei Buxiao’s eyes twinkled with amusement.

Three Core Formation cultivators, three different moods.

In fact, it was not just the three Core Formation cultivators who had different moods, nearly everyone present had their own calculations.

Sun Qing was worried that Jiang Cheng had caused trouble again.

Sun Yuan’s mind had crashed, completely overwhelmed by Jiang Cheng’s connections.

Chen Qiming, Zhou Yunshan, Yang Lingbao, and others silently elevated Jiang Cheng’s status yet another level in their hearts. They had previously thought they’d given Jiang Cheng due importance, but as it turned out, even that was an underestimation. The prospect of this young man’s future was simply boundless.

Chen Shuai and Zhou Yiwen felt powerless, having originally thought it was outrageous enough that Jiang Cheng could communicate with their elders as equals. Little did they know, Jiang Cheng also had a Core Formation connection and was referred to as “Jiang” by Core Formation cultivators. To understand the gravity of this, Core Formation cultivators are possibly older than their great grandfathers! By this calculation, wouldn’t they be demoted from being Jiang Cheng’s sons to being his grandsons?

Xie Linshan sighed in resignation, realizing that she probably had no chance with Jiang Cheng. Among the female cultivators she knew, probably only Lin Yao, with her top-tier beauty, could be a match for Jiang Cheng.

Tang Qian clenched her silver teeth tightly, finally realizing that Lin Yao’s choice to choose Jiang Cheng over Zhou Yiwen wasn’t a matter of Lin Yao’s poor taste in men. It was that Lin Yao was actually extremely discerning! With the level of power Jiang Cheng had shown, any female cultivator who managed to share his bed and serve him dedicatedly wouldn’t worry about transforming from a sparrow to a phoenix!

Lin Yao herself did not have as many thoughts as Tang Qian. She had once accompanied Jiang Cheng through an ordeal with a Core Formation cultivator picking a quarrel, so she had confidence in Jiang Cheng this time around. No matter what, Brother Jiang definitely had no issues; if there was a mistake, it was others who were mistaken, attempting to frame and slander her Brother Jiang.

Although Peng Jun was a Core Formation cultivator and the Branch Helmsman of the Immortal Sect, he did not carry himself with excessive arrogance. He put on airs only in front of Lei Buxiao and Lanye. As for the Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators in the room, who weren’t part of the Immortal Sect’s system, frankly, they weren’t even on the same level to make showing off necessary.

If he intentionally acted superior to them, it would simply reveal him as domineering and petty, losing his high ground.

“Peng has come here this time, and I suppose that’s intruding on everyone’s drinking, but I really have an urgent matter and would like to ask for Jiang’s assistance. I wonder if Jiang is at your convenience?”

“Surname Peng? It can’t be that Peng Jun, could it?” someone at the banquet whispered in surprise.

“What about Peng Jun?”

“Alas, how many Core Formation cultivators do we have in Wuyue? And surnamed Peng, plus a Core Formation, that can only be the Branch Helmsman of the Tongtian Sect’s Wuyue branch!”

The Branch Helmsman of the Tongtian Sect’s Wuyue branch!

The foremost authority of the Immortal Sect powers in Wuyue!

Almost considered the most prestigious Core Formation cultivator in all of Wuyue!

Ordinarily, anyone called upon by this Core Formation cultivator would feel honored and would not dare say a word of refusal.

But Jiang Cheng said, “Please wait for me a moment, I need to send a message.”

Everyone was at a loss for words: a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator making three Core Formation cultivators wait for him? How big could his ego be?

But to everyone’s surprise, the Core Formation cultivators actually agreed.

Lei Buxiao said confidently, “Jiang, make it quick, we’ll go out and wait for you. Come on, let’s go, standing here like door gods. We don’t want to disturb others’ meals.”

After the three Core Formation cultivators left, all eyes in the room were on Jiang Cheng.

But Jiang Cheng calmly took out his communication talisman, dialed Liu Qing’s number, and composed a message.

“A friend needs me for something, finish up the food and head home first when you’re done.”

Send.

Then he skilfully answered the phone.

Liu Qing: “Okay.”

Jiang Cheng: “Alright, hanging up.”

After the incomprehensible operation of the communication talisman to the observers, Jiang Cheng said, “Uncle, I’ll be heading off first. There probably won’t be any issues, so don’t worry.”

Sun Qing didn’t know what to say, feeling that he was no longer in a position to educate Jiang Cheng, and could only say, “If there’s trouble, remember to send your uncle a communication talisman.”

“Sure,” Jiang Cheng agreed.

Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Cheng left the restaurant unhurriedly.

At that moment, to many female cultivators in the restaurant, the sound of Jiang Cheng’s footsteps on the ground was more pleasing to the ear than the so-called music of the immortals.

Across the street, Liu Qing silently watched Jiang Cheng leave with the three Core Formation cultivators.
