Dashing Student-Chapter 1319: Get Out of My Sight

The flying boat pierced through the clouds, trailing a long tail in the sky.

This area is under the jurisdiction of the Righteous Alliance, not within the battlefield's scope, and due to previous provocations and sowing of discord from the Demon Clan, both the Righteous Alliance and Demon Sect have intensified efforts to eliminate hostile cultivators.

Currently, it is very safe on the side of the Righteous Alliance.

On the flying boat, Chen Nan and the four others were all resting with their eyes closed. They knew this was a trap targeting them, but they had no choice in the matter.

"Jue Mingzi, are you crafting a talisman? Are you a Talisman Master?"

Deng Yunhe's surprised voice rang out from the flying boat, drawing the attention of Zheng Yunzhou and the others.

"I just know a little bit about it."

Chen Nan modestly replied, but his hands didn't pause at all. The talisman pen moved slowly, sketching runes onto the talisman paper. However, in the final strokes, the Spiritual Energy within the runes suddenly became turbulent, causing the talisman paper to explode with a "boom".

Everyone instinctively took a step back, but Chen Nan casually used his mana to contain the explosion within a certain range without spreading out.

Clearly, he had encountered this situation more than once or twice.

"Failed?" Deng Yunhe's facial muscles twitched: "I thought when you said you knew a little bit you were being humble, but it turns out you really just know a little."

"Jue Mingzi, talent isn't something to possess just because you want it. It seems your talent isn't in talisman crafting." He stepped forward and patted Chen Nan on the shoulder to comfort him.

But it was evident to others that he was being sarcastic, finally finding something Chen Nan wasn't good at—a cause for celebration!

Chen Nan didn't argue, simply preparing the talisman paper and other materials to start drawing again.

"Alas, you'll turn back when you hit a dead end." Deng Yunhe said, appearing experienced.

Zheng Yunzhou and Daoist Cui lost interest, stepping aside to cultivate, while Ning Yu approached with concern, wiping the sweat from Chen Nan's forehead.

"Don't exhaust yourself too much." Ning Yu smiled: "I believe you'll succeed."

She glanced down inadvertently, surprised at the intricate complexity of the runes Chen Nan was drawing on the talisman paper: "What kind of talisman are you crafting?"

"Forbidden Sky Talisman." Chen Nan replied without looking up.

"Forbidden Sky Talisman? It seems like a talisman that can seal space… Wait a minute!" Ning Yu's eyes widened suddenly: "Isn't this a Sixth Grade Talisman? Can you craft a Sixth Grade Talisman?!"

Her exclamation drew Deng Yunhe and the others back over, staring at Chen Nan in astonishment.

"Yes, but I just saw the Forbidden Sky Talisman in the Library Pavilion recently, so I wanted to give it a try. As expected, the success rate isn't high." Chen Nan said casually.

Deng Yunhe finally realized who he had mocked—an exceptionally talented Talisman Master!

Thus, he slid over to Chen Nan's side, hugging Chen Nan's leg: "I'm sorry for not recognizing greatness. Father, I won't ask much, just give me a hundred or so Sixth Grade talismans, I'm not greedy!"

"Do you think they're cabbages? A hundred or so!" Chen Nan snapped, the half-crafted talisman ruined, causing him to kick Deng Yunhe flying away in anger: "Get lost!"

After a round of antics, no one bothered Chen Nan anymore. Chen Nan focused on crafting the Forbidden Sky Talisman, spending all his contribution points solely on the materials needed for it.

Finally, before they reached their destination, a brand-new Forbidden Sky Talisman emerged, its surging and restrained mana exciting Chen Nan immensely.

At this moment, they also saw the island in their mission: Ten Thousand Treasures Island.

Ten Thousand Treasures Island truly lived up to its name, possessing numerous resources, including eight Mid-grade Spirit Veins scattered across different spots on the island.

The island's mountain range stretched long, featuring a Secret Silver Mine and a Gold Essence Ore mine, essential materials for crafting Spiritual Artifacts.

Additionally, this island boasts a vast forest, home to demon beasts but also abundant with Spiritual Medicines, with dozens of Spirit Medicine Gardens established within the forest.

When the island was initially discovered, both the Righteous Alliance and Demon Sect were shocked, having never seen an island so rich in resources, sparking a fierce battle for its control.

Ultimately, the Righteous Alliance triumphed, successfully developing the island, later building a city upon it, relocating countless mortals and low-level cultivators to exploit the island's resources.

Over the years, the resources on Ten Thousand Treasures Island have been mostly exhausted, the Spirit Veins mined out, making the island's Spiritual Energy thin and diminishing the quality of the Spiritual Medicines considerably.

Yet, the remaining resources still hold immense value, attracting many cultivators to settle, forming the present Ten Thousand Treasures Island.

It is assumed that the Demon Sect wouldn't have any interest in this nearly depleted island, but recent sightings of demon cultivators have indeed been reported around the island.

The island's Island Master worried about potential schemes from the Demon Sect, thus reporting upwards, leading to Yi Mingzi assigning this task to Chen Nan and the others.

It seems reasonable, with no apparent trickery, but Chen Nan knows the occurrences here are definitely not straightforward.

Holding the Righteous Alliance tokens, they quickly entered the city, welcomed personally by the Island Master at his residence.

"I am Xin Zi, thank you all for your assistance."

The Island Master appeared young, with cultivation only at the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer, smiling heartily before Chen Nan and the others.

Of the five, Zheng Yunzhou had the highest cultivation, typically representing their team; hence, he stepped forward, greeted the Island Master with a bow: "Greetings, Island Master."

They were led into the residence, the Island Master cheerfully saying: "Tonight, I'll host dinner to welcome you and alleviate your travel fatigue."

Zheng Yunzhou, however, remained somewhat cold: "Island Master, let's get straight to the point. What has occurred that made you seek assistance?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Zi sighed deeply: "It's a long story, the island's resources have mostly been exploited, greatly reducing the value, leaving me as the Island Master in the end."

"Originally, it was a good position, but over a month ago, several cultivators excavating the Gold Essence Ore suddenly disappeared. We found their bodies later, completely drained of blood."

"This is obviously the work of demon cultivators! Initially, the island had a Tribute Elder with cultivation comparable to mine, but after investigating and confirming demon cultivator activities, he never returned."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan's expression grew slightly serious; it does sound like the work of demon cultivators, but if it was indeed demon cultivators, their cultivation can't be very high.

Because if the cultivation was strong, there'd be no need for stealth, they might have refined all life on the island.

Thus, to uncover the truth, an investigation is necessary.

"Since we know the cause, let's begin the investigation. Delaying even a day might result in more harm to people."
