Xu Yang painted a few more “purification talismans” and quickly mastered this talisman art. Not only could he achieve a 100% completion rate, but he could also complete one talisman per minute.
“Once I become more proficient, I should be able to complete one talisman in just tens of seconds.”
Xu Yang then practiced the “Substitution Mantra.”
Although he drew the talisman correctly, it had no effect.
“It seems that this talisman is indeed only useful after reaching the Divine Transcendence Realm…”
“As for this Fire talisman, although it’s a bit more difficult, my Fire Method has already entered the Dao, so I can try to learn it.”
Xu Yang attempted to draw the “Fire talisman” and quickly encountered the same situation as with the “Wulei Talisman.”
Halfway through drawing the talisman, the talisman paper couldn’t withstand the power and began to burn on its own.
“The power of the Fire talisman and the Wulei talisman is too strong, ordinary yellow talisman paper can’t withstand it. It seems I need to find a way to get higher-grade talisman paper.” Xu Yang sighed and had to put down his brush.
High-grade talisman paper was not available for purchase in the market.
However, the major Daoist sects should have them.
Xu Yang planned to ask Master Luan of the Maoshan Sect later. Since he was stationed in Xi Xia, he might have some on hand. In addition, the Supernatural Affairs Bureau should definitely have some available.
At this moment, it was already past 3 am.
Xu Yang, who had just used the “purification talisman,” was full of energy and couldn’t sleep, so he began cultivating the Divine Ascension Scripture again.
Although his cultivation progressed slowly while practicing alone,
occasionally circulating his own energies and enjoying the process was a great pleasure as well.
Soon, it was dawn.
After breakfast, Xu Yang accompanied the ladies to the street again. Today’s goal was to buy the bride’s wedding attire. There were specialty stores in various malls that sold whole sets of wedding attire, wedding dresses, and even bridal coronets.
As soon as Xu Yang entered the store, the staff greeted him and asked, “Sir, Miss, are you looking for a wedding dress or wedding attire?”
“Wedding attire,”
Xu Yang said, “Our wedding ceremony is going to be in a classical style, so a wedding dress isn’t quite suitable.”
The staff immediately began promoting their own wedding attire and brought out a set, asking who would wear it?
Xu Yang couldn’t help but scold, “How is one set enough? Go, bring five sets!”
The staff member was shocked and looked in surprise at the five beautiful women beside Xu Yang. Each of them was top-notch in appearance, figure, and temperament, similar to the actresses seen on television.
She held a set of wedding attire and couldn’t help but ask, “Excuse me, Miss, who are you all marrying?”
Yue Yuluo said, “We’re all getting married… Well, just follow what my husband said and bring the sets.”
The staffer widened her eyes and whispered, “With… with him?”
“Nonsense!”
Yun Mengxi’s explosive temper flared up: “If not with him, are you suggesting we marry you? Enough, we’ll pick them ourselves!”
The ladies began choosing their own clothes, while Xu Yang called the dazed staffer over to the counter displaying the bridal coronets and asked, “Are these bridal coronets made of pure gold?”
The staffer’s gaze toward Xu Yang changed as she replied, “Sir, these are gold- plated, and the gems on them are fake… After all, you only wear this once during the wedding. And since fewer people are having classical weddings nowadays, those who do usually pay a high price for custom-made ones.”
As she spoke, she turned to glance at the five women who were picking out clothes and whispered, “Sir, is what they said earlier true?”
Xu Yang nodded.
The female staff member said, “But… isn’t this against the Marriage Law? This is bigamy!”
Xu Yang thought to himself that the Marriage Law is for humans… and he wasn’t marrying humans, so the law doesn’t apply here.
Instead of explaining, he asked, “How do I customize these bridal coronets? If I provide the gold and gems, how long will it take to complete?”
The staff member said, “I would need to contact our headquarters to know that…”
She promptly contacted headquarters, and when they heard that Xu Yang wanted to custom-make five bridal coronets all made of pure gold, the person on the phone was startled. However, when they learned that Xu Yang would provide the gold and gems himself, their tone hesitated, saying, “Sir…”
“You don’t need to say anything; I understand what you mean. I’ll provide the gold and gems, so you’ll make less profit… Just add the cost of these materials to the labor. I only have two requirements: First, it must be fast; I want it done within four days; second, it must be of exquisite craftsmanship, or else I won’t agree!”
“Four days?”
The voice on the phone quickly said, “Sir, if we custom-make a bridal coronet here, it’ll take at least a month before it’s ready!”
Xu Yang calmly replied, “I’ll pay extra!”
The person on the phone said, “For five pure gold bridal coronets, the craftsmanship would cost at least 100,000 yuan…”
Xu Yang: “I’ll pay 1 million yuan!”
“Alright!”
The person on the other end of the phone changed their tone immediately, saying, “Please provide your address, sir. I’ll bring our top designer to you today to discuss the details, and we guarantee completion within four days!”
Having arranged a custom order for the bridal coronets and wedding attire,
Xu Yang visited Yang Fan’s uncle at the farmhouse restaurant outside Long Flow River in the afternoon.
The ruined farmhouse restaurant was being rebuilt, with stacks of cement, bricks, and wood outside. A contractor-looking man was pointing out various tasks, discussing the costs with Yang Fan’s uncle.
