Chapter 389: Chapter 179: The 3rd Daoist Talisman ’Yellow Millet Dream’, Golden Finger Upgrade! 1st Generation Emperor Monarch, Return from Ancient History

"As long as it’s not Celestial Materials, Upper Three Grades Celestial Medicine Dao Pills, or Profound Mysterious Divine Soldiers..."

"I’ll have those three good-for-nothings come over and bring them all to you!"

After he finished speaking, a look of reminiscence and melancholy crossed Xu Longxiang’s face.

"Sigh, looking at your unaffected manner, for some reason, I’m reminded of that boy, Ye Wenjiang."

"Back then, he was a lot like you. Where did you say you buried his remains?"

"Anning County, the Earth Dragon Cave, was it?"

"In a couple of days, you’ll take me there. I couldn’t reinstate him on the sect’s roster while he lived. Now that he’s gone, the least I can do as his master is bring his remains back to be buried with the sect."

To this, Ji Xiu naturally had no objection.

Besides, when he thought of Anning County, a feeling of vast, world-altering change welled up inside him.

A mere refugee from a muddy alley who couldn’t even fill his own stomach...

Who could have imagined that one day, he would turn his life around to become the Martial Champion of the Prefecture and Academy, a True Sect Disciple!?

Wealth and honor unwitnessed at home is like wearing embroidered clothes in the dead of night.

And the reason he had come this far was precisely the Primordial Daoist Talisman!

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu rubbed his hands together, his eyes eager, and immediately got to the point.

"Master, this disciple has heard that the Dragon Elephant True Sect once obtained a Divine Daoist Talisman, one born of heaven and earth, created by nature itself?"

"This disciple is unworthy, but I wish for that Daoist Talisman!"

Oh?

Hearing Ji Xiu’s words, Xu Longxiang raised an eyebrow.

"You want that Divine Daoist Talisman named ’Yellow Millet Dream’?"

"Hmm..."

Tucking up his sleeves, Xu Longxiang pondered for a moment, as if weighing the decision.

"It’s not that I can’t give it to you, but I’ve heard that a destined person who can bond with a Daoist Talisman is one in a million—rarer even than the most gifted prodigies."

"Moreover, regarding Daoist Talismans, all that’s known is that they are a unique product of the Great Xuan Celestial Universe, but those who can master them are few and far between."

"Furthermore, even if you are destined for certain Divine Techniques, it often takes decades, or even a century, to grasp a fraction of their truth, yielding minimal results. What’s more, they can’t be replicated. Once one person cultivates it, the talisman loses its miraculous properties."

"Therefore, even the Celestial Pillars and Giant Houses do not pursue them obsessively."

"For all these years, I have possessed this Divine Daoist Talisman called ’Yellow Millet Dream,’ yet I know only its name and very little about its actual effects."

"Across the entire Dragon Elephant True Sect, there hasn’t been a single destined person capable of inheriting this ’Yellow Millet Dream’."

"If you’re interested, then I’ll give it to you, kid."

"But remember, don’t mistake the branch for the root. Daoist Talismans are strange, but they are ultimately just techniques. They are not the same as the ’Divine Techniques’ wielded by a Divine Power True Master of the Upper Three Realms."

"No matter the technique, without sufficient strength, it’s all just empty talk!"

Xu Longxiang reached into his sleeve, fumbled inside his storage pouch, and pulled out a talisman. It was crystalline all over, radiating a brilliant halo, and seemed to have the image of a ’Dream Butterfly’ branded onto it. He handed it to Ji Xiu, his expression stern and lecturing.

And the moment Ji Xiu saw this Daoist Talisman...

[An object that can be used to upgrade the ’Primordial Daoist Talisman’ has been detected in the Tutor’s vicinity!]

[An object that can be used to upgrade the ’Primordial Daoist Talisman’ has been detected in the Tutor’s vicinity!]

As the Primordial Daoist Talisman in his mind began to glow faintly!

The instant Ji Xiu took the transparent Jade Talisman!

[Tutor has obtained the Skill Dao-bearing Jade Talisman ’Yellow Millet Dream’. Refine it and upgrade the Daoist Talisman!?]

[After upgrading, you can master the Divine Technique ’Yellow Millet Dream’, raise the grade of the Primordial Daoist Talisman, and add the ability to make an advance!]

’Yellow Millet Dream, advance slot!’

Seeing the information from the Primordial Daoist Talisman, Ji Xiu’s heart began to pound uncontrollably!

’Yes.’

’This is what he wanted...’

’Isn’t this exactly it!?’

...

「Meanwhile, at the Beicang Marquis’s Mansion.」

Jiang Li emerged from the Black Market. She was preparing to deliver several items to Ji Xiu: an Earth Treasure, a suit of Treasure Armor, and three hundred taels of Red Gold. These had been sent to the Gold-Selling Cave by three parties—the Medicine Shop, the Fishing Trade, and Zhou Changming of the Purple Mist Daoist School.

But as she arrived at the Marquis’s Mansion where he was temporarily staying...

She suddenly heard a voice from behind her, a voice filled with unparalleled fervor and excitement:

"Emperor Monarch..."

"Your Martial Dao Will is truly unyielding! You have indeed ’Returned Anew, After a Hundred Years’!"

Only Jiang Li herself could hear these words.

And after hearing them, her expression didn’t change in the slightest from beginning to end.

After a few moments of silence, she merely closed her eyes, her Divine Thought fluctuating as she responded to the person behind her:

"The three bright lamps that were lit using my Essence, Qi, and Spirit as their foundation..."

"Where have those people buried them now?"
