Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 227: Chapter 210 Lure the Enemy onto the Roof
Jiang Cheng’s worries were not without reason.

Because the cultivation speed of an ordinary person is actually quite slow.

To reach the ninth level of Qi Cultivation before the age of thirty is already considered above average.

Someone with a bit of talent in cultivation, like Yue Linger, could reach the ninth level of Qi Cultivation before turning eighteen.

Take Yue Linger as an example, assuming she started cultivating at the age of six and reached the ninth level at eighteen, she would need an average of a year and a half to advance one cultivation level.

Yet Jiang Cheng, in just a few short minutes, had consecutively improved by two cultivation levels.

This almost shattered the general perception of cultivating immortality.

A commoner is not guilty, but possessing a jade makes one a target.

Improving strength at a speed beyond common sense is not only not a good thing, but it also easily makes one a target for all.

As someone who had always been good at taking the mass line, Jiang Cheng naturally knew the consequences of stepping out of the masses.

The “power balance mechanism” is very useful, but attracting the attention of some high-level figures in the Cultivation World would be more trouble than it’s worth.

To restore the balance of righteous and demonic forces in the Capital, Jiang Cheng wrote “Liu Qing” on the “Dayan Sect Disciple Roster.”

What he currently faced was the need to make his cultivation growth seem reasonable.

And “cultivating demonic arts” was a good smokescreen.

Moreover, as the Sect Master of the Dayan Sect, it would seem quite unreasonable not to cultivate demonic arts.

However, with the sheer variety of demonic arts available, and each with completely different focuses, choosing a suitable demonic cultivation technique for the Sect Master of Dayan Sect became Jiang Cheng’s biggest problem at the moment.

The techniques of the Hehuan Sect often needed the power of another person.

Jiang Cheng sneakily glanced at Liu Qing, who had just returned to the balcony, and in his heart, he knew he did not meet the conditions to cultivate the Hehuan Sect techniques.

Hehuan Sect cultivation technique, excluded.

The cultivation techniques of the Blood Fiend Sect are extremely overbearing.

Not only are they powerful in attack, but also they allow for very fast advancement in cultivation level.

The downside is that they most often require the swallowing of “blood qi.”

Human blood is best, followed by animal blood, in short, the higher the spirituality and cultivation level of the consumed, the better the effect of the cultivation.

Jiang Cheng sneaked another glance at Liu Qing on the balcony.

A certain snake was quite sensitive to smells, and if he were to cultivate the Blood Fiend Sect techniques, he might not even be able to enter his own home, just as it had happened the day he came back from the Jiaofang Division.

Blood Fiend Sect cultivation technique, excluded.

Next up is the Demon Pattern Sect.

The Demon Pattern Sect cultivates by “nurturing qi into patterns.”

The demon patterns on a cultivator’s body are a type of special spirit body.

Lower-level demon patterns possess only instinct, controlled by the host and attack based on that instinct. Higher-level demon patterns can develop spiritual intelligence, becoming an independent entity. Both the intensity and versatility of their attacks significantly increase.

However, the downside of Demon Pattern Sect techniques is that sometimes the demon patterns can be uncontrollable like pets.

They might make noises, destroy things around the host, or indiscriminately release cultivation waste.

It is well known that a certain snake has always preferred quietness.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng couldn’t cultivate demon patterns either.

Demon Pattern Sect cultivation technique, excluded.

After considering several mainstream Demon Sect techniques, Jiang Cheng found they always touched upon what Liu Qing disliked.

This made his already limited selection even more constrained!

Damn it!

Liu Qing causes me trouble!

Who knew raising a snake could be such an inconvenient task!

Liu Qing seemed to sense something, gracefully got up from the lounge chair on the balcony, sat down beside Jiang Cheng, and grabbed his hand.

Jiang Cheng suddenly turned his head and saw the stunningly beautiful face of Liu Qing.

With her beautiful eyes open and eyelashes trembling slightly, her clear eyes seemed to hold some secrets known to no one else.

Liu Qing’s cool hand was like a bucket of cold water poured over Jiang Cheng’s head.

It made him extremely calm in an instant.

Between cultivating and caring for a snake, he now fully understood which was more important.

It wouldn’t be a problem to postpone practicing demonic arts temporarily.

But neglect the snake for a day, and she would turn dark on the spot.

“I wasn’t thinking about Talismans just now,” Jiang Cheng explained.

“You, are troubled,” Liu Qing said.

It was the smell she had detected that made her sit down next to Jiang Cheng.

“Hmm,” Jiang Cheng didn’t deny it.

“Why?”

“Because… it’s a bit difficult to choose a technique from the Devil Gate… Wait!”

Jiang Cheng suddenly had an idea.

Since choosing a technique himself always seemed to be disliked by Liu Qing,

why not let Liu Qing pick one for him to practice?

Liu Qing was a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm, and her understanding of techniques far surpassed his at the Qi Cultivation Stage!

Any technique that caught her eye would definitely not be too shabby.

Jiang Cheng let go of Liu Qing’s hand and said, “Go get my storage bag.”

Liu Qing lightly nodded, went into Jiang Cheng’s bedroom, and brought back his storage bag.

Jiang Cheng took the storage bag and pulled out nearly a hundred photographs.

All were photos of Demon Sect techniques from the archives.

They recorded the accumulation of over a hundred years from more than a dozen Demon Sects in the Capital.

“Which one do you like?” Jiang Cheng asked.

Liu Qing blinked, seemingly not understanding what Jiang Cheng meant.

“You choose one you like, I’m preparing to practice a demonic technique. Whatever you choose, I’ll practice that,” Jiang Cheng said.

“Oh,” Liu Qing responded.

Liu Qing lowered her head and began picking out technique photos carefully.

Soon, the first batch of Demon Sect techniques was eliminated by her.

The ones from the Hehuan Sect.

Jiang Cheng was not surprised at all.

Having cared for the snake so long, he understood her temperament quite well.

Seemingly aware of the importance of a technique to Jiang Cheng, Liu Qing was especially serious in her selection.

She sat on the sofa, her beautiful eyes fixed on the pictures Jiang Cheng had given her, silent and without unnecessary movements, occasionally forgetting even to blink.

Suddenly, Liu Qing set down the photos in her hand.

Jiang Cheng asked, “Have you chosen?”

She shook her head, then poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiang Cheng.
