Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 128: Protection of a Neighbourhood

Fu Xian smiled as he told Ye Long to pack his things for the journey.

Leaving the library, he felt a headache, ’Alas, initially I didn’t want to take Ye Long with me. He is young and weak currently, his cultivation at an important stage.

Right now he should focus on understanding the three new inspirations he got and cultivate to achieve the Foundation Building stage.’

He sighed but knew that as a new master, he had the responsibility of accompanying his disciple until he was independent. It was like getting a baby – you had to first take care of it for eighteen years before you could have your own space.

Even then, it wasn’t likely going to happen...

’Let’s just hope it’s not eighteen years,’ Fu Xian was about to complain that it would be too much, when he suddenly realised.

This amount of years, if he didn’t do anything exciting, then it would likely pass in just a few long cultivation sessions.

’It’s fine. I didn’t really plan to journey for a long time.’ He shook his head and moved to the central pavilion.

Looking at it, he realised that before he could warm up his bed, he would already leave.

He glanced at it one last time as he threw something into the pavilion –

A jade talisman with a bark pattern on its surface rose from his hand.

Rising all the way to the peak of the pavilion, it vanished from his sight.

"Since I’m not here, I will have to put it back to ensure its stability."

He had used it these past few days as reference material to form a plan for the next Talisman Diagrams as well as to draw the Ancient Tree Bark Talisman.

There wasn’t much else for him to do.

Everything else was under control.

So, walking out of the courtyard, he saw Ye Long was already at the entrance.

He carried a backpack on his shoulders.

"Why are you taking it with you like this? I can carry anything you need."

"Master, this is a journey, right? I read in books that you should always have a backpack with you...

Well, it was a mortal’s book.

But when I told my father about it, he bought me a spatial backpack. It’s quite spacious and can hold much more than a simple spatial bag.

Master, if you want, I can store a few things for you!"

"A spatial backpack? Interesting. No, you don’t need to worry about me. I have everything on me.

Let’s leave already."

Ye Long nodded and walked behind Fu Xian.

Turning to the courtyard again, Fu Xian waved his hand.

The clouds in the sky suddenly fell, creating a protective fog around the whole courtyard.

His senses were blocked when he looked at the fog.

"It’s indeed a very good formation. This should be enough to hide from prying eyes."

Walking out, Fu Xian greeted the neighbours on his way.

"Fellow daoist Fu Xian, are you also heading out?"

From afar, Fu Xian saw the maid in red once more."

"Fellow daoist Huoling, indeed, I am heading out. Are you leaving just after arriving?"

"Haha, this time, the family recommended me further. I was not only invited by them to do things, but it seems like there will be several further requests coming in the near future from this line.

Unfortunately I only have a timespan of ten years, beyond that and the cost to return to the city will become too high to shoulder.

What about you? Where are you going?

You just settled in the courtyard, haven’t you? It’s a bit early to leave already."

"Fellow daoist-"

"You can just call me sister Huoling. All of us in the courtyard are a family after all."

"Then sister Huoling can also call me brother!" Fu Xian agreed with this, it loosened the atmosphere right away.

"Having achieved success, I will return this time to invite a senior that had helped me when I was young. If possible, I will even recommend him to enter the neighbourhood." Fu Xian blinked at Huoling when he mentioned recommending.

Huoling could instantly guess that this matter was already sealed.

A look of surprise appeared on her face, but she didn’t ask about how Fu Xian was sure about it.

"A senior who helped brother Xian? Who is he? What does he do?"

"Oh he’s just a Defense Master at the late stage of the fourth stage. If you ever need to learn a protective technique or spell, you should ask him. His knowledge is deep and he can give you insights no spell book can give you."

"A late stage fourth stage cultivator?" Huoling looked at Fu Xian in shock.

So that was it!

A cultivator at this stage was basically replacing the spot of senior sister Ziling!

By inviting him, they would regain the lost lower level strength and even expand their power.

Not to mention it was a Defense Master. Among all the Fighting Masters, Defense and Movement Masters had the highest survival rate. Senior Ruan would likely be satisfied with this cultivator and might invite him right away!

"Then I hope you can talk well of me when you see that senior! We’re all excited about new members!

Especially, when I travel outside, sometimes I need an escort.

Although I don’t require a fourth stage cultivator, this defense master has disciples, right? One of them should be able to escort me and guard me when I visit the customers.

This time I was lucky and found a good link, which is why I’m going a second time.

But I have experienced several times where these cultivators, especially those from smaller forced below the fifth stage, would coerce and threaten you to stay.

It’s only after I forced my way out or even notified the neighbourhood that I escaped."

Hearing this, Fu Xian was shocked, "They would dare?!"

"Hehe, like I said, forces below the fifth stage. They don’t yet realise the might of the immortal city. Not to mention, there always people from the other four regions entering the central region.

If they don’t live in a rogue cultivator area, then they will likely not know much about us."

Fu Xian nodded but his astonishment didn’t disappear.

So that was it!

That was the use of Fighting Masters to the Creation Arts Neighbourhoods. That was also likely why so many joined and remained in this neighbourhood!

’Senior Ruan... his main benefit comes from the neighbourhood benefits, gifts and various other things. But to keep all these creation masters together he needs to give something back.

He doesn’t give many benefits because the largest and best benefit is the security of knowing there is a peak fighter in the base ready to rescue you!’
