Chapter 437: Chapter 305: Mana Increase is Too Fierce, Can’t Suppress it Anymore! _2
Returning to the private room.
Xu Yang called Wang Shiren and asked, “What’s the background of that blind storyteller in the hall just now?”
Wang Shiren shook his head, saying, “I don’t know.”
Xu Yang slapped the table, “You don’t know, and you let him tell stories in your restaurant?”
“Ding!”
“The ghost was frightened, gaining +10000 merit points and +1 cooking skill.”
Wang Shiren quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead, saying, “Sir, to be honest… This is the first time that the old blind man has come to my restaurant. I have been running this restaurant in Fengdu City for four hundred years and never heard of such a storyteller before.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang looked through the window at the hall and saw that there was a stage in the hall. The old blind man was telling stories on the stage just now. He couldn’t help but wonder, “What’s the purpose of you having a stage?”
Wang Shiren lowered his voice, saying, “There are many restaurants in Fengdu City and the competition is fierce… I set up the stage just to add some late-night programs.”
Xu Yang became interested and asked, “What kind of late-night programs?”
Wang Shiren mysteriously smiled, “If you want to watch them, I can ask them to perform in your room.”
“It’s better to share the fun, let them perform in the hall.”
Xu Yang signaled Wang Shiren to prepare right away, and Wang Shiren respectfully left the room.
After a while, music began to play.
In the restaurant, a fragrance spread through the air, and petals fell from the sky.
On the stage in the hall, nine female ghosts with slender bodies and thin clothes appeared out of nowhere. They danced gracefully to the music, and the guests below the stage applauded, making the atmosphere in the restaurant lively.
With the atmosphere heating up, the female ghosts’ dances became even more enchanting.
The thin clothes on their bodies even started to float away.
Pfft!
Xu Yang spat out the wine in his mouth and exclaimed, “This… are there actually such dance performances in Fengdu City?”
Seeing this, Liu Shishi laughed, “My husband, haven’t you seen such a dance in the mortal world?”
“I haven’t seen it in real life, but I’ve heard Ma Long mention it.”
Xu Yang said, “But in movies, I’ve seen quite a few.”
Liu Shishi was taken aback, “What movies?”
“Madam, you understand…”
After having their fill of food and drink, Xu Yang and Liu Shishi returned to their room.
They tested Liu Shishi’s current strength again before stopping.
Xu Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, took a cigarette, and silently opened the system attribute panel in his mind—

“Up to now, I have cultivated nine divine powers, among which Rain Invocation, Flame Spewing, Mountain Shaking, Turning Stone into Gold, and Communicating with the Netherworld are heaven-given divine powers. As soon as I comprehend them, I can form divine power talismans.”
“Interrupting Flow and Great Strength are the two divine powers I obtained from the ghosts. Although I haven’t cultivated divine talismans yet, they have already appeared on the system panel.”
What about the Dark Emperor’s Water Fist?
That was something Xu Yang practiced on a whim before but hadn’t yet condensed into a divine talisman.
After much thought, Xu Yang decided to abandon this divine power!
No other reason…
It’s useless to keep!
To cultivate it to the point of condensing divine talismans would not only take time but also consume merit. Now that Xu Yang possessed the 36 Heavenly-General Skills and the 72 Earth-Devil Skills, totaling 108 divine powers, why would he need to practice this one?
With a thought, Xu Yang discarded the “Dark Emperor’s Water Fist” and looked at the small “+” signs behind the “Interrupting Flow” and “Great Strength” divine powers.
“I have 1.3 million merits now. I should cultivate these two divine powers first.”
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -10,000.”
“Interrupting Flow +1.”
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -10,000.”
“Interrupting Flow +1.”
“Ding…”
Xu Yang consumes 150,000 merit points in a row, finally condensing the divine talisman of “Interrupting Flow” within the Zifu and Shihai.
With the talisman completed, divine light illuminated the consciousness sea before going into hiding.
Xu Yang clearly felt that his mana and divine sense had increased a bit.
Following this sequence, Xu Yang spent another 180,000 merit points to cultivate the divine talisman of “Great Strength” within the Zifu and Shihai.
As the “Great Strength” divine talisman formed, Xu Yang’s mana increased even more.
Of course.
The biggest beneficiary was his physical body!
Xu Yang’s physical body, originally comparable to a peak Grandmaster but barely stepping into the threshold of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm, had now increased its strength by 80,000 kg due to the cultivation of the Great Strength divine power, fully reaching the level of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm!
“This Great Strength divine power is one of the 72 Earth-Devil Skills and is used to enhance the strength of the physical body so that it becomes infinitely strong. With the strength of my physical body combined with the Great Strength divine power, I am now on par with the top masters of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm!”
“Rain Invocation, Flame Spewing, Mountain Shaking, Turning Stone into Gold, Communicating with the Netherworld, Interrupting Flow, Summoning Clouds, Great Strength… Now that these eight divine powers are cultivated, I will focus on comprehending the remaining 36 Heavenly-General Skills and the 72 Earth-Devil Skills!”
Xu Yang took out the jade talisman given by Lord Cui and set his eyes on a divine power called “Water Manipulation”.
This divine power was one of the seventy-two Earth-Devil Skills.
Once cultivated, it can burn talismans and turn them into water to relieve disasters and diseases!
But never underestimate this divine power. While you might think that burning talismans to create water and healing might sound like a martial world scam, this divine power has played a prominent role in the history of Da Xia.
Among the many Daoist sects of Da Xia, the lineage of the Dragon-Tiger Mountain Sect was the most proficient in the Water Manipulation divine power!
Celestial Master Zhang Daoling, one of the four Great Heavenly Masters and the founder of Dragon-Tiger Mountain, was famous for using Water Manipulation and curse techniques to heal people.
“The most important aspect of Water Manipulation divine power is having a deep understanding of talismans… Although I haven’t been drawing talismans for long, I believe I have a good grasp of Daoist talismans, so I can start cultivating this divine power.”
Xu Yang secluded himself in a tavern for uninterrupted cultivation, diligently practicing for 24 hours straight.
Finally…
The words “Water Manipulation” appeared behind the “Divine Power” column on the system attribute panel.
He spent 200,000 merit points in one go to cultivate the divine power of Water Manipulation to completion, condensing the divine talisman.
As the divine talisman hid within the Zifu acupoint, the mana within Xu Yang’s body surged like a great river, emitting deep rumbling sounds, and his own aura instantly increased significantly.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Xu Yang exclaimed in alarm, “Not good… My mana has increased too rapidly, and I can’t suppress it any longer…”
