“`
Hurried footsteps gradually approached from a distance.
The familiar call slowly made its way into Luo Ping’s ears.
However, what was different from yesterday,
was that yesterday Luo Ping still had a chance to hide.
But today, it seemed he was already out of time.
Before he could even stand up, Luo Yong had already stepped into the room.
“Brother, there’s something very important that I need to discuss with you in detail,” Luo Yong said.
“Are you talking about those fifty Mo Jade Kirins?” Luo Ping inquired.
“How did you know?” Luo Yong raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression one of mild surprise.
“You want to buy those fifty Mo Jade Kirins?” Luo Ping asked.
“Of course!” Luo Yong nodded repeatedly, and then said somewhat excitedly, “If our Luo Family could secure those fifty Mo Jade Kirins,
our overall strength will certainly leap forward.”
“I know what you’re saying,” Luo Ping looked at Luo Yong in front of him, hesitant to continue, “Anyway, forget about those fifty Mo Jade Kirins…
Gold and silver have become nearly worthless now.”
“That caravan specifically demanded food in exchange,” he continued.
“Under these circumstances, even the King of Huai Shui and the venerable Chen Family don’t have the capability to covet those fifty Mo Jade Kirins.
How could our Luo Family possibly take them?”
…
After a detailed conversation with Luo Yong,
Luo Yong left the room somewhat helplessly and returned to the military camp outside Qingshi Town.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard on Luo Family Ancestral Land, where Luo Changfeng resided,
when Luo Changfeng learnt of this matter,
he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
“Mo Jade Kirin?”
“One of the three divine steeds in the Da Feng Dynasty?”
“That’s a fine treasure indeed…”
In the courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,
Luo Changfeng pondered as he narrowed his eyes.
It was just that the caravan made it clear that they only wanted to trade for food,
refusing anything except for it.
This made Luo Changfeng find the situation somewhat problematic.
“Really only trading for food?”
“Would elixirs work?” he wondered.
Luo Changfeng thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Should he trade elixirs, it would be highly likely to acquire those fifty Mo Jade Kirins.
But if the Luo Family really did manage to secure them,
the following circumstances would likely become even more difficult for them.
Firstly, the Tang Family, the major grain merchant in Huai Shui County, would fasten their gaze upon the Luo Family,
and their hatred towards the Luo Family would skyrocket.
After all, the Luo Family had meddled in the Tang Family’s affairs.
It would be strange if the Tang Family didn’t harbor resentment towards the Luo Family.
Apart from the Tang Family, the King of Huai Shui and the venerable Chen Family,
whether it was because of the Mo Jade Kirins or the intention to suppress the Luo Family in Qingshi Town, would inevitably act against them.
At that time, with three powers targeting the Luo Family,
even if the Luo Family wouldn’t fall because of his presence as Luo Changfeng,
at least, in the struggle for supremacy,
it would be very difficult for the Luo Family to continue.
So even if he wanted to snatch those fifty Mo Jade Kirins from the Tang Family,
it must absolutely be kept secret from the other powers.
“If that’s the case, it seems I only have one option…”
“It’s just that this method is somewhat dishonorable…”
Luo Changfeng quietly thought to himself.
…
Having spent some time researching the art of talismans,
Luo Changfeng’s understanding of talismans had deepened.
If he wasn’t mistaken, among the countless special talismans,
there was one called the Invisibility Talisman.
The Invisibility Talisman was uniquely effective,
allowing one to seemingly vanish from the world using light refraction coupled with concealment of presence.
Like other talismans, however,
the duration of invisibility provided by the Invisibility Talisman was limited by the materials and,
how much of the authority of heaven and earth the talisman could usurp,
The more it usurped, the longer one could stay invisible,
the less it usurped, the shorter the duration,
It was largely a matter of luck.
“I’ll give making one a try…”
“If I act quickly from now on, I should…”
“probably make it in time!”
…
Thinking this, Luo Changfeng immediately set to work.
He picked up a brush from the stone table,
prepared himself, and entered a state of concentration appropriate for talisman-making,
then began to draw, crafting the talisman.
The state of making a talisman was wondrous.
As you drew, it was as if you were both yourself and not yourself,
as if something else had taken over your being, guiding your hand to create those mystic talismans capable of usurping the authority of heaven and earth.
“Did it work?”
As time inched toward midnight,
a bright, graceful moon hung high in the sky,
and as the temperature around cooled slightly,
Luo Changfeng finally completed the first Invisibility Talisman.
“It’s just uncertain how much authority of heaven and earth this talisman has usurped and how long it can make me invisible…”
Luo Changfeng casually picked up the talisman from the stone table,
channeling his Qi-Blood Force into it,
activating the mysterious power contained within,
and suddenly, his entire being vanished beneath the Stone Pavilion.
His presence was indeed completely concealed,
as if he had never appeared there at all.
Luo Changfeng looked at his hands,
even waving them in front of his eyes.
But all he could see were the still objects before him; he could not see anything else,
his body seemed to have merged with the void around him.
“This Invisibility Talisman seems quite interesting…”
Luo Changfeng stood up and left the yard,
wandered in front of many clan members,
and after about ten minutes, he returned to his yard.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to continue roaming; it was that the Invisibility Talisman’s duration only supported about ten minutes of invisibility.
