Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 86: Shocked at Idiocy
Fu Xian was agape.
In every way he looked at this situation, it shouldn’t be like this.
His personality was calm, Yiyuan’s wasn’t.
He had the patience to cultivate for 300 years, Yiyuan didn’t.
He never had a wish to become a hero, Yiyuan did.
"Why?" he asked, looking at the screen.
At this moment, he wasn’t able to sit down.
He stood up from his usual calm pavilion seat and walked up.
Going from one pavilion to another, he looked at himself in shock in the pond he passed by.
"This is a joke," he said after the third turn as he looked at the dying Yiyuan.
His commands at the start were clear: cultivate diligently in the family.
Nothing more, nothing less.
There was no talk about becoming better, there was no ideal of strength.
And, the key to everything, the one point he would never have done, "He picked a saber?!"
Now he truly couldn’t accept it.
"In all of my life, in all of my years of scheme, calculations, and sneaky ways, has there ever been a will to fight directly???" he asked himself.
Was this his subconscious thought?
No way.
He checked himself, "No, I’m still a sneaky bastard."
His only weapons of the second stage were hidden weapons and poison.
All the talismans he had were protective and auxiliary ones that protected him, helped him to recover, or have enough spiritual power to escape.
Not a single one of them was offensive!
In the end, he could only sit back down and say, "No matter how well you teach a child, you can’t teach it the core essence if it’s too old. Before my talisman entered the thought of Yiyuan, he seemed to have had an explosive personality.
Until now, no other clone had this issue, right?
Well, who would even be so reckless as to go out and beat people up out of nowhere?"
Suddenly, he had a shocking thought.
"Ye Long!" he called his disciple, who quickly came running.
Ye Long had already seen his master going around in contemplation and deep thought, which was why he didn’t disturb him.
When he was called, he appeared right away.
"Master, how can I help you?"
"Ye Long, just answer me an honest question.
When you see three weapons: a spirit pearl helping either your wind or water element, a blade of the wind element, or a needle of the water element, which one of these would you choose?"
Ye Long was surprised at this question, but he didn’t hesitate. "Master, if the pearl can support my talismans, then I will choose it. If it can’t, then I will take the needle."
"Why do you choose like this? Suppose it does, suppose it doesn’t, why do you make this choice?"
"If it can support my talismans, then I only have to learn a larger variety of talismans, which is rather easy. If it doesn’t, then I just have to learn protective and armour piercing talismans, and I should be able to catch my enemy off guard and kill him while still protecting myself."
"What about a saber?"
"What about it?" Ye Long asked, then he realised it might be a bit rude and added, "Master, the saber is a weapon of mastery and direct attack. If I truly wished to have direct attack, with the spirit pearl, all my talismans would be better. Then I can just choose offensive talismans.
As for choosing the saber just because it’s strong already..."
Ye Long shook his head, "If I was father or uncle—Senior Ruan, then I might consider this. No, even if I was them, I would have my own art and shouldn’t blindly take a weapon that doesn’t support me but is simply strong."
"Hahaha, good, very good! You have been raised well! Very good, that’s right.
If you have to be direct, do it with talismans. If you have to take a weapon, take a deadly hidden weapon and attack. That’s very good, you have been raised extremely well by your father!"
Fu Xian laughed when he saw this, then he waved his perplexed disciple away.
"Fortunately, fortunately, real warriors don’t insist on taking a strong weapon or something stupid like that.
Alright, it’s done. The first clone is dead, dead..."
Just as he saw the stand-off between the Lin and Sun, he realised that the vision blurred and slowly faded.
Thinking this was the end of it and that he had wasted 20% origin, he suddenly saw something shocking.
Right in front of him, a hole opened.
It looked exactly like the hole that would appear when he sent his talisman in!
This time, Fu Xian had several seconds to observe the hole.
From it, he could see something astonishing: an endless river with countless ghosts being escorted on it!
When he looked too long at this river, he suddenly felt like a certain entity looked over and stared back at him!
Just then, he saw a talisman fly out of it. Instantly, the hole closed and the observing entity disappeared.
The talisman flew out and landed in front of him—
It was a nearly blank talisman, having changed greatly from when he sent it in. Only a slight resemblance was still there based on the purple edge.
This talisman only had a front side, a simple talisman with little effect.
It depicted a small... moving flame!
Wood was below, giving the fire a foundation, and an occasional breeze would cause it to flicker.
The moment he looked at it, a wave of information hit his head—
This was the returning talisman!
Evolving from the ’life’ achievements of the carrier, it had become a Natural Flame Creation Spirit weapon!
That’s right, a creation spirit treasure, the prototype of a Creation Treasure!
He looked at it with astonishment, "Is this what happens when the clones die? All their experience and achievements get consumed by the talisman and the talisman returns back to me in the form of a Creation Spirit Weapon, or even better, Treasure?"
Every creation weapon was unique, and looking at this talisman, he knew its effect.
For a creation weapon, it was rather weak: it was a natural flame that couldn’t be put off with normal means, and it had a breath of vitality, which would boost the refining and digesting of any spiritual material that could be normally digested by his body.
"So it’s basically boosting my... intestine and stomach??"
