Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 219: Chapter 207 Dayan Art_2
For example, orthodox cultivation techniques are akin to a plant’s “photosynthesis,” where the energy source is clean and pure, but the downside is low efficiency.

The Demonic Tao techniques, on the other hand, are like “herbivores” that accumulate energy rapidly within the body by directly consuming “plants,” aiming for a swift increase in cultivation level.

The Blood Fiend Sect’s “Bloodthirsty Skill” enhances one’s cultivation level by absorbing the energy within blood qi.

The Hehuan Sect’s “Pure Essence Skill” enhances cultivation level by absorbing the yin energy or yang energy of the human body.

Without exception, all involve obtaining energy by “eating grass.”

The advantages of these techniques are their fast cultivation speed; the disadvantages are unstable foundations, patchy spiritual power, prone to hitting bottlenecks, or getting struck down by heavenly tribulations.

Jiang Cheng pondered whether he should try to improve a demonic technique to speed up his own cultivation.

It seemed promising.

The communication talisman buzzed; it was Shen Menghan calling.

“Hello? Jiang Cheng, I have the results of the accounts you asked me to check.”

“Who is it?”

“Prince Qi’s Mansion. Most of the funds in Hehuan Sect’s accounts from imperial donations can be traced back to Prince Qi’s Mansion.”

Prince Qi is the Emperor of Liang’s eldest son and his title as the crown prince.

Prince Qi, with a Foundation Establishment cultivation level and nearing a hundred years in age, is considered the strongest contender for succession among the emperor’s children, most likely to succeed.

The Emperor of Liang’s delay in abdication, coupled with Prince Qi’s collusion with the Demonic Tao in his eagerness to ascend the throne, makes sense.

Because the longer it takes, the better the other princes and princesses develop, decreasing Prince Qi’s chances of ascension.

However, merely proving the source of the funds is not enough evidence to accuse “Prince Qi of murdering Prince Liang Chu.”

But this wasn’t something Jiang Cheng couldn’t handle.

After arranging a meeting with Li Qingge of the Taixu Sect, Jiang Cheng visited President Li once again.

In dealing with the Taixu Sect, Jiang Cheng had no intention of concealing anything.

He directly presented the evidence he had collected from the Hehuan Sect, and asked Li Qingge to review it.

After looking over it, Li Qingge said, “You want to use this to bring down the crown prince?”

Jiang Cheng shook his head, “I want to bring the criminal to justice.”

“This isn’t enough.”

“That’s why I’ve come to President Li.”

Li Qingge’s stance was clear; although they had been devising ways to support Princess Liang Lu’s rise, whatever the means, the Immortal Sect’s bottom line of non-interference in mortal affairs could not be crossed.

“The Taixu Sect will not take the field against the prince.”

“Of course, I’m aware of that.”

Li Qingge frowned, “What do you mean then?”

“I hope the Taixu Sect will denounce the Tongtian Sect.”

Li Qingge: ?

Even with mental preparation, Li Qingge still couldn’t keep up with Jiang Cheng’s elusive thinking.

“What do you want us to do exactly?”

“I hope President Li, on behalf of Taixu Sect, will denounce the Tongtian Sect.”

Li Qingge took a deep breath, making an effort to appear as if she understood.

Ultimately, the effort failed.

“Jiang Cheng, the relationships between Immortal Sects are not a trifling matter, not something to denounce on a whim. Besides, why should our Taixu Sect provoke the Tongtian Sect for no reason? Has the Tongtian Sect offended you?”

“Not at all,” Jiang Cheng explained, “President Li, isn’t it that your Immortal Sects cannot interfere with mortal forces? Then let’s not interfere with mortal forces and instead target other Immortal Sects. That should be acceptable, right?”

Li Qingge felt her brain wasn’t quite up to keeping pace while speaking to Jiang Cheng.

She wasn’t sure if it was her problem, or Jiang Cheng’s problem.

“It’s possible, but why should we interfere with the Tongtian Sect?”

Jiang Cheng picked up the Hehuan Sect’s accounts, “Did you know that the Tongtian Sect recently rounded up the Hehuan Sect in the Capital?”

Li Qingge nodded, “I am aware.”

“And did you know about the Hehuan Sect’s collusion with the royal family?”

“I do.”

“We have the accounts, but they are still not enough to confirm who the colluding party is, right?”

“Correct.”

“Okay, so here’s the question, who can confirm the colluding party?”

Without hesitation, Li Qingge blurted out, “Who can?”

Jiang Cheng sighed, “Them themselves. Only the parties involved in the collusion know who has contacted whom and what deals have been struck.”

“And then?”

“The Tongtian Sect has captured members of the Hehuan Sect; theoretically, those of the Hehuan Sect related to the royal family should have been apprehended as well. It’s possible to extract information about the deals between the Hehuan Sect and the royal family from them. Therefore, the prince who has truly colluded with the Demonic Tao must be extremely anxious at this moment.”

As Jiang Cheng finished speaking, a flicker of realization appeared in Li Qingge’s eyes.

Jiang Cheng continued, “Most of Hehuan Sect’s disciples are female cultivators, naturally related to the Taixu Sect. It wouldn’t be hard to find some Talisman Masters and Pill Masters among them. The Taixu Sect could use this as a pretext to make trouble for the Tongtian Sect, demanding they release the innocent Hehuan Sect cultivators.”

At this point, Li Qingge finally understood.

She said, “The Tongtian Sect certainly won’t release them, but with the Taixu Sect stepping out, other people intent on preserving the Hehuan Sect will inevitably swarm to join. Among them, there will likely be a certain prince. To prevent the collusion with the Demon Sect from being exposed, he will definitely cooperate fully with the Taixu Sect to rescue the Hehuan Sect cultivators!”

Jiang Cheng nodded, “In doing so, we can use his cooperation to obtain evidence of his collusion with the Demon Sect.”

Brilliant!

Li Qingge couldn’t help wanting to applaud Jiang Cheng.

What a clever strategy, to openly mend the plank road while secretly crossing through Chen Cang.

If they couldn’t meddle with the mortal realm, then directly interfere with the Immortal Sects, making the mortal forces feel an opportunity was at hand and come knocking themselves.

Choosing him was indeed the right decision!

If the plan went smoothly, another prince was about to be pulled under by Jiang Cheng!

Has it only been a few months?

To think he could take down two princes in succession!

Jiang Cheng’s professional capabilities were alarmingly strong!

Realizing Jiang Cheng’s strength, Li Qingge couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for talent.
