My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 423 - 243: Heading to the Imperial Capital, the Disappeared Students

The next few days.

Chen Lusi’s life became more routine.

During the day, he stayed at the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s branch, drawing talismans.

In the evening, he accompanied the two sisters outside to complete Lin Wan’s graduation trip.

The two sisters no longer wore swimsuits in front of him, but the three of them stayed together.

Probably because the day they wore swimsuits, they had already stayed together, Chen Lusi found it unnecessary to mind anymore... so he canceled the room the sisters initially rented.

As for Xia Panqiu and Wu You... ever since they tested the talisman technique, they developed a strong interest in talismans.

These days, they have been following Chen Lusi almost daily.

However, after a few days.

Chen Lusi had grown somewhat numb from drawing talismans...

Initially.

The Daoists brought out talismans that were mostly trigger-type, meaning you could see the effect directly once they were drawn, such as the Shrinking Earth Talisman and immobilization talisman.

But later, after most of the trigger-type talismans were drawn, the Daoists began to pull out talismans with less obvious effects, or perhaps merely recorded the names of deities.

The explanation they provided was that these were talismans needed for Prayer Exorcism and Fasting and Sacrificial Rituals.

As for what Fasting and Sacrificial Rituals and Prayer Exorcism are.

The Daoists explained that — now they are religious ceremonies, but in the past, they were large-scale artificial miracles, uniquely belonging to Daoism’s special techniques.

As for more details, the few of them couldn’t clarify.

Because the time of the Daoist lineage break was too long, none of them received similar training.

So regarding the extent to which the rituals could go... there’s no definite understanding.

Actually, during this period, besides coming to the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s branch to draw talismans with Chen Lusi... the Daoists have been rummaging through the things left by their ancestors, starting to revive the glory of Daoism.

However, once something’s lineage is broken, it’s not that easy to pick it up again.

So even though the Four Great Daoist Mountains rarely collaborate, the progress is not fast.

Actually, not to mention Fasting and Sacrificial Rituals and Prayer Exorcism, even talismans are still being checked and supplemented...

This coupled with Xia Yue and Ji Xin, although they agreed to Chen Lusi reconnecting Daoism to its lineage, they don’t wish for this matter to be widely known, the Daoists, after being ecstatic, also don’t want to rashly expose the news under these circumstances.

And to keep it secret, not too many people can know... so it has to be done personally by the Daoists.

In this situation, the pace is certainly not fast.

So for a while, Chen Lusi estimated he wouldn’t get to witness true Prayer Exorcism and Fasting and Sacrificial Rituals.

But he wasn’t very concerned, because he had no concept of Fasting and Sacrificial Rituals and Prayer Exorcism; what he cared more about were Summoning Talismans and preserving his technique.

And on this day.

September 2nd.

He finally was to depart for the Imperial Capital.

Ivan and Yevgeny of the Chamomile Alliance moved the departure time to early September, though Chen Lusi didn’t know the reason, it was clearly good for him as it gave him enough time to handle things in Jinling.

"During this time, really thank you, Chen Lusi."

Meeting room.

Zhang Xiufeng clasped his hands and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

The other three Daoists, seeing Zhang Xiufeng’s gesture, were stunned, then also solemnly thanked Chen Lusi.

Regardless.

Chen Lusi deserved this gratitude.

Chen Lusi shook his head, saying nothing.

Mainly because he didn’t know what to say.

"Next, we will rewrite the simplified talismans you created during this time and continue to check and add, while also attempting to restore Prayer Exorcism and Fasting and Sacrificial Rituals based on this."

Zhang Xiufeng, having spent some time with Chen Lusi, roughly understood his character, didn’t mind at all, but softly said, "But I’m not sure if more needs to be added later..."

Chen Lusi knew what he wanted to say, replied, "If I can help then, I will."

Zhang Xiufeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then solemnly promised, "Alright... if you need us to do anything afterwards, please feel free to ask, no matter what it is, we will do our utmost."

The other three Daoists, hearing this, did not express any dissent.

Because these words were not just a promise to Chen Lusi, but also a promise to the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

Currently, the Daoists are very aware of their situation.

Daoism claims to have found its lineage again.

But whether it is truly restored, still depends on Chen Lusi...

Though Chen Lusi has never tried to strip anyone’s ability to draw talismans...

But the four Daoists do not doubt he has this capability.

Under such circumstances, whether they like it or not, Daoism can only be bound to the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

So long as they wish to become genuine Daoists.

Of course.

This doesn’t mean the words they spoke lacked sincerity.

In fact, gratitude played a bigger part.

After all, regardless of what needs to be done later, at least now their long-desired Daoist lineage has finally returned in another form.

They can die content!

After a brief exchange.

The four Daoists left, starting their process of reviving Daoism’s glory.

Chen Lusi turned to Wu You and Xia Panqiu behind him: "Let’s go, see you later at the airport."

This time, they would not use the Shrinking Earth Talisman to transfer to the Imperial Capital.

Though the chance of exposure was extremely low, even if discovered, it could be explained as a Daoist leftover stock.

But Ji Xin obviously didn’t want to take the risk.

The fact that the Daoists from the Four Great Daoist Mountains had stayed in Jinling during this period has already spread.
