Chapter 79: Gift

Chapter 79: Gift

As an official institution, the Daoist temple was built in the city and had a majestic atmosphere.

"I am Chen Lin, here to visit Daoist friend Yu Yangzi. Please announce my arrival."

As soon as he entered, only two Daoist apprentices were in the courtyard. Chen Lin and the apprentices exchanged greetings.

The apprentices sensed the fluctuations of Chen Lin's spiritual power and immediately responded, rushing to inform their master.

Soon, a young Daoist emerged from the inner courtyard, bowed deeply to Chen Lin, and said, "You must be Daoist friend Chen. My master has invited you."

After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation.

Chen Lin returned the bow and followed the young Daoist into the inner courtyard.

"Please wait for a moment, Daoist friend. I'm currently treating my injuries and will be with you shortly."

As soon as they arrived outside a room, Chen Lin heard Yu Yangzi's weak voice coming from inside.

Before long, Yu Yangzi pushed open the door and invited Chen Lin in.

"Ha ha, I was just regretting not asking about your residence, and now you're here."

After the host and guest took their seats, Yu Yangzi spoke up.

"Oh? Does the Daoist master have something to discuss with me?"

Chen Lin was taken aback and asked impulsively.

Yu Yangzi stroked his beard, not answering, but instead asked, "Or should I ask, what brings Daoist friend Chen to visit me?"

Chen Lin thought for a moment before speaking bluntly, "I heard from the market that you're skilled in crafting talismans to ward off evil and suppress evil. As a talisman craftsman myself, I wanted to discuss the techniques with you."

Yu Yangzi nodded knowingly.

He spoke with a hint of depth, "I've observed that you seem to have a way to restrain that evil creature. Do you still need talismans to suppress evil? If it's for personal use, I can give you some for free."

Chen Lin felt embarrassed.

He realized he had been too reckless.

Since the talismans to ward off evil and suppress evil were the Daoist master's means of making a living, if Chen Lin learned the techniques and made them himself to sell, it would be like taking food from the Daoist master's mouth!

Luckily, Yu Yangzi reminded him, or else he would have taken many more oaths in the future.

This was the disadvantage of not having a master to guide him.

He quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Yu Yangzi.

"Thank you for reminding me, Daoist master. I'm deeply grateful!"

Yu Yangzi's mouth twitched again as he said, "You don't need to call yourself ‘little one.' You're not much younger than me, Daoist friend."

Chen Lin was taken aback.

It seemed like Yu Yangzi had seen through his true appearance, almost pointing out that he was pretending to be younger.

He quickly explained, "Daoist master, you don't know that I've experienced some physical changes, which is why I look older. In reality, I'm only in my mid-40s."

Yu Yangzi's face turned dark, saying, "You're not young either, and I'm only 50 years old. Let's just consider ourselves peers."

After speaking, Yu Yangzi stood up, saying, "My injuries are not fully recovered, so I won't keep you here today. If you encounter powerful evil creatures, don't try to fight them alone. You can come to me for help."

"I'll definitely come to you for help if that happens."

Chen Lin bowed again and exited the room.

The young Daoist saw Chen Lin off at the door and gave him two bottles of talisman ink.

One bottle was for crafting talismans to ward off evil, and the other was for crafting talismans to suppress evil. Chen Lin was deeply moved.

Yu Yangzi was truly a kind and generous person!

As Chen Lin walked away, he thought to himself:

Yu Yangzi must have discovered that he had killed the Red Shadow evil creature. After all, Yu Yangzi hadn't been unconscious at the time, and as a Qi Refining late-stage cultivator, he would have sensed it even from a distance.

The white light emitted by the jade talisman was also very noticeable, making it impossible to hide from Yu Yangzi.

However, Yu Yangzi didn't press the issue and even gave him the techniques for crafting talismans. His character was truly admirable.

Although Chen Lin had saved Yu Yangzi's life once, it was a passive action, and repaying kindness with kindness was a common practice among cultivators.

It could only be said that Yu Yangzi was a genuine and upright cultivator, worthy of friendship.
