Chapter 174: Invincible Vajra Talisman

<

When Master Zhou lent the Talisman to Yang Haoran back then, the entire village suffered.

Now, Wang Yiming wants to lend the Talisman to him. Does he also intend to send him away?

Wang Yiming noticed that Yang Haoran's expression was somewhat strange, showing a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?" Yang Haoran came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and pushed the strange thoughts out of his mind.

"It's nothing. Suddenly remembered some other things. No need for the Talisman, you'd better keep it for your own protection," Yang Haoran politely declined Wang Yiming's offer.

"Don't be polite. This Talisman was given to me by my master for self-defense. It can definitely save your life at a critical moment. Don't underestimate it," Wang Yiming insisted.

Without waiting for Yang Haoran's refusal, Wang Yiming closed his eyes and quickly performed hand seals.

This scene puzzled Yang Haoran.

The next moment, Yang Haoran understood what was happening.

He saw the power fluctuations emanating from Wang Yiming gradually intensifying, especially around his chest, where the fluctuations were much stronger than elsewhere.

Under Yang Haoran's gaze, a black light suddenly appeared on Wang Yiming's chest. It flickered, and then Wang Yiming abruptly stopped his hand seals, opened his eyes, and uttered a low shout.

"Come out!"

The black light disappeared from his chest, but in front of Wang Yiming, a black Talisman appeared out of nowhere.

Seeing this black Talisman, Yang Haoran's face showed a hint of surprise.

The Talisman Wang Yiming spoke of turned out to be a black Talisman, and he even stored it within his body.

"This Talisman is called the Invincible Vajra. It doesn't have much offensive power, but its defensive capabilities are quite astonishing. After my master bestowed it upon me, not only have I never used it, but I also kept it within me to nurture its spiritual power. So now, its power has not weakened but instead grown stronger than when my master gave it to me!" Wang Yiming explained to Yang Haoran with a smile as he looked at the black Talisman floating in front of him.

Actually, Yang Haoran recognized this Talisman even without Wang Yiming's explanation. After all, he had been studying Talismans for a long time now. Recognizing the Invincible Vajra Talisman wasn't surprising; it's just that Wang Yiming wasn't aware of this fact.

"You don't have spiritual power within you, so you can't store this Talisman within your body like I did. But that's okay. Just keep it with you. If you encounter a life-threatening situation, even without activating its spiritual power, it can still be triggered passively," Wang Yiming explained.

Yang Haoran hadn't switched his internal spiritual power to Talisman spiritual power, so at this moment, he could only sense strong Yin Qi and the flow of Yin spiritual power within him. As for Talisman spiritual power, normally...

"The Soul Scattering Needle?" Wang Yiming's voice revealed confusion, and upon hearing this, Yang Haoran had a good idea: Wang Yiming didn't know about the Soul Scattering Needle.

As expected, Wang Yiming's subsequent response confirmed his suspicions.

"I've never heard of such a thing, but I can ask my master for you. He's very knowledgeable; perhaps he might know." Wang Yiming replied.

Wang Yiming's master could draw black Talismans, indicating that he was at least a black Talisman master. Such masters were formidable, naturally possessing extensive knowledge. It was possible that he might have some understanding of black Talismans.

"Alright, please ask him when you have time. Oh, and thank you for the black Talisman. I'll return it to you by the end of the month."

Although he said this aloud, Yang Haoran inwardly sighed, "If I'm still alive by the end of the month."

"No worries, you can use it for now. Don't mention returning it by the end of the month or anything. Return it whenever things calm down on your end," Wang Yiming replied generously. Yang Haoran thanked him again with a smile before finally hanging up the phone.

Instead of immediately driving away, Yang Haoran lit a cigarette and leaned back in his seat, wearing an expression of hesitation, as if he were grappling with a difficult decision.

Once the cigarette burned down, his expression of hesitation disappeared. He picked up his mobile phone, found Xu Meijing's number in his contacts, and sent her a message.

"Hi, how have you been lately?"

After sending the message successfully, Yang Haoran felt somewhat anxious, as if he were doing something secretive. He quickly lit another cigarette to calm his nerves.

When the cigarette was halfway smoked, the notification tone sounded, prompting Yang Haoran to quickly check his mobile phone. However, he didn't see the reply he had hoped for from the person he desired, but instead received a reminder to pay his bills.

Disappointment clouded Yang Haoran's face. He shook his head in resignation, smiled wryly, and continued smoking while waiting.

After smoking several cigarettes, feeling his throat parched, and still not receiving a reply from Xu Meijing, Yang Haoran began to feel restless.

After much hesitation, he ultimately decided against calling her. If she hadn't responded to his message, it meant she might be busy at the moment or hadn't noticed it. Even if she had noticed, she might not have had time to reply, making it inappropriate for him to call her in such a situation.

Of course, there was another possibility: she might simply be ignoring his message. This was the possibility Yang Haoran least wanted to entertain and the most difficult for him to accept.

"I'll give her a call later."

With this thought in mind, Yang Haoran drove away, but his destination wasn't the grocery store; it was the Wu Family villa.
