Chapter 20 - 20 Chapter 20: Supreme Purification Seal!

20 Chapter 20: Supreme Purification Seal!

Translator: 549690339

The iron seal was dark and plain, with some traces of rust on it.

There were characters underneath the seal, which seemed to be ancient seal script, but they were obscured by the rust and difficult to make out.

Xu Yang weighed it in his hand.

It was estimated to be over two kilograms in weight.

“This thing would be suitable to crack walnuts with.”

Xu Yang said in a low voice.

He then went to the kitchen and fetched a fruit knife.

The Divine Ascension Scripture had detailed instructions on refining daoist artifacts, which required the integration of one’s blood and nourishing with spiritual power day and night. Only then could the artifact be controlled like an extension of one’s arm and its full power could be unleashed.

But when Xu Yang picked up the knife, he hesitated.

Bleed himself?

What if the cut was too deep?

What if he got tetanus?

The protagonists in the novels, who would easily cut their fingers or bite their tongue, seemed to be quite ruthless!

Xu Yang swapped the fruit knife for a needle.

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and with determination, he pierced the needle into his fingertip. After squeezing a few times, he finally managed to extract a drop of blood.

The blood dripped onto the iron seal.

The next moment, something strange happened.

Hum!

The dark iron seal suddenly trembled and began to levitate in the air.

The rust and the outer black layer quickly fell off, revealing a beautiful jade seal underneath.

The jade seal was two inches and four parts wide (8cm), perfectly square, and radiated a gentle jade glow.

“Ding!”

“The female ghost is frightened, merit points +100.”

A sudden system prompt rang out.

The red-clothed female ghost appeared at the door and wrote, “What is this? It hasn’t even been activated yet but already possesses such power. Could it be the legendary Heavenly Master’s Seal?”

“The Heavenly Master’s Seal?”

Xu Yang checked the system panel.

[Artifact]: Supreme Purification Seal (Daoist artifact).

It really was a treasure!

A Daoist artifact!

According to the grade classification of magical treasures in the Divine Ascension Scripture, this was definitely one of the top magical treasures on Earth.

Excited, Xu Yang looked up and said, “It doesn’t seem to be the Heavenly Master’s Seal; this thing is called the Supreme Purification Seal. Have you heard of it?”

The female ghost shook her head and wrote, “I haven’t heard of it, but you should play with it less at home. Its aura makes me uncomfortable.”

Xu Yang sneered, “This is my house; what gives you the right to tell me what to do?”

The female ghost raised her hand.

Her fingernails grew wildly, and she waved them at Xu Yang, leaving visible claw marks in the air.

Xu Yang grabbed the Supreme Purification Seal and muttered, “Can’t you just talk nicely? Don’t you know that I, Xu Yang, always respond better to gentle persuasion than to force?”

“Hehe!”

The female ghost laughed and drifted away.

Xu Yang’s eyes brightened.

She laughed?

Although the laughter was full of disdain and contempt… it was a good sign after all.

Communicating through blood writing was creepy!

After the female ghost left,

Xu Yang took out his phone and searched for “Supreme Purification Seal.”

The first result was a link to a shopping website.

“Redheart Jujube Wooden Single-sided Seal, Supreme Purification Seal, Supreme Spirit of Purification Seal… 38 Yuan? Group purchase price 29.8?”

Xu Yang’s mouth twitched.

He discovered that the Redheart Jujube Supreme Purification Seal on the shopping website was quite similar to the one in his hand.

Xu Yang wasn’t too surprised by this discovery.

After all, Dragon Tiger Mountain itself sells Dharma seals.

He continued searching.

He found that in the “Orthodox Daoist Canon”, there is a record of the “Supreme Purification Seal”.

“Whoever obtains the Jingming method shall carve two seals, each measuring two inches and four minutes, one called the Supreme Purification Seal and the other the Seal of the Lord of Jingming. The Purification Seal is used for official documents, and the Lord of Jingming Seal is used for summoning ghosts and gods.”

“So, the Supreme Purification Seal I have in my hand is actually a supportive type of magic treasure?”

The purpose of the seal is for creating official documents.

And to be used on written scriptures and painted Daoist talismans.

While the “Seal of the Lord of Jingming” is an offensive treasure.

It can summon ghosts and gods.

These two seals were passed down by Celestial Master Xu, the “Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji”, and are an inheritance for the lineage of Celestial Master Xu, similar to the “Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal” of the Dragon Tiger Mountain lineage. Indeed, it can be called the “Heavenly Master’s Seal”.

Xu Yang also found online that the Daoist lineage passed down by Celestial Master Xu is divided into two sects: Jingming Sect and Lu Shan Sect.

“Jingming Sect, Lu Shan Sect…”

“Could it be related to Grandpa hiding his identity and coming to Wu City?”

Conflict between Daoist sects?

It’s a common theme in novels!

Besides the “Daoism” chapter in the “Divine Ascension Scripture”, there is also a chapter on Daoist talismans.

It records many Daoist talismans.

They can roughly be divided into categories such as house protection, wealth, relationships, protection (evil-warding), education, ghost-driving, ghost-controlling, and suppressing malevolence.

Xu Yang took out the nine Daoist talismans left by his grandfather and compared them to the talismans recorded in the “Divine Ascension Scripture”. He found that these nine talismans are one of the most powerful talismans in the “Daoist Talismans” chapter, called the “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman”.

Among all the talismans in the collection, the most powerful one is called the “Five Thunderbolt Ghost-Smashing Talisman”. It can summon the five thunderbolts and can control the thunderbolts to suppress evil and malevolence in a very domineering way.

Of course.

With Xu Yang’s current cultivation level, he is unable to create either of these two talismans.

“At the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, I can barely create some talismans, like Evil-warding Talismans, Wealth Attraction Talismans, Ghost-repelling Talismans…”

“I could practice making them when I get the chance.”

Glancing at the time, it was already 4 a.m.

Xu Yang took off his clothes and went to bed.

He slept until 10 a.m. the next day, then went out to buy two breakfasts, one for himself and one for the female ghost. He sat at the counter of the store on the first floor and ate.

While eating…

Ma Long arrived.

He drove a BMW 5 Series, parked it outside the funeral shop, and walked in casually.

“Xu Yang, how’s it going?”

“Are you still having hallucinations?”

Xu Yang was puzzled: “Hallucinations?”

“That’s right!”

“Dr. Wan said that you’ve become sick because you miss your grandfather so much; it’s caused your nerves to weaken and produced hallucinations, which is why you always feel like you’re seeing ghosts.”

Ma Long sat down next to Xu Yang, looked him up and down for a few moments, and said, “Your complexion has improved a lot. It seems that Dr. Wan’s medicine is indeed effective… Are you free this afternoon? Let’s go fishing!”

The hammer’s medicine was effective!

I didn’t even buy the medicine that mental doctor prescribed!

Xu Yang cursed in his heart while saying, “No, it’s too hot in the summer!”

“We can go night fishing!”

Ma Long grinned: “I’ll ask a girl to join us and we’ll go fishing by the Yellow River at night… What a romantic scene! Dr. Wan said that your illness needs you to go out more often…”

“No!”

Xu Yang changed the subject: “Since you have the skill, do me a favor and look up a license plate number for me…”

He wrote the license plate number for Ma Long.

“Ning A: K2523?”

Ma Long noted the number and said, “Sure, I’ll go to the Traffic Management Bureau later and ask Heiniu for help inquiring… Huh?”

He hadn’t finished his sentence when he looked up and out.

He saw a black Volkswagen sedan parked next to his BMW, and said, “Isn’t that K2523?”
