The Mightiest Little Peasant

Chapter 721: Imparting the Skills of Talisman-Crafting

Late at night.

Tang Hao sat cross-legged in the living room of the mansion, making an Artifact.

He held a piece of jade in his left hand and drew talismanic runes with his right hand. His movements were very fast. In about ten minutes, he finished one pendant and put it in a stack next to him.

After making another one, Tang Hao put down the jade pendant and let out a sigh of relief.

Another set of Yellow Flame Formation was completed.

That was already the fifth set.

The first four sets were used in Provincial City, the Capital, River Delta City, and Westridge. He prepared to hand this set over to the Agency and let them decide where to use it.

After resting for a moment, he suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of qi coming from the bedroom.

Then, he heard someone shouting in surprise.

“Lil Tang, Lil Tang! I’ve broken through!”

The bedroom door opened, and a beautiful figure rushed out and threw herself into his arms.

He sensed her qi aura and found out that she had indeed successfully broken through. Now, she was in the late period of the State of Qi Channeling.

It took her four months to advance from the middle period to the late period, which was considered very fast. The Taoist masters would be hurt if they knew about it.

“Lil Tang, am I very powerful now?”

Qin Xiangyi asked while hugging him.

“Yes!” Tang Hao nodded.

In the modern-day cultivation world, a cultivator in the late period was already considered an expert.

“That’s great!”

She said happily.

She kissed him hard, pursed her lips, and smiled, “When will I become as powerful as you?”

“That will probably take a long time... here, these pills are for you. Remember, one pill a day!”

As she spoke, he took out a large bottle of pills and handed it to her.

Those pills had very potent effects and were only suitable for late-period cultivators. By the time she finished the entire bottle, she would be close to the peak of the State of Qi Channeling.

“Thank you, my dear!”

She said as she looked inside the bottle.

“Oh right, I have something else to give you as a reward!” Tang Hao said.

“What?” Qin Xiangyi’s eyes lit up.

“Close your eyes!” Tang Hao said.

“What is it? So secretive!” Qin Xiangyi mumbled and closed her eyes.

“Give me your hand!” Tang Hao said.

“Oh!” She reached out her right hand obediently.

Tang Hao grabbed her fair and tender hand, took out the imperial jade ring, and slowly wore it on her finger.

In an instant, Qin Xiangyi’s delicate body trembled.

“It’s done!” Tang Hao said.

She opened her eyes and looked at the huge ring on her hand. “Wow! It’s so beautiful!” She exclaimed.

Then, Tang Hao explained the function of the ring to her.

“So magical?”

After she learned how to use it, she became more excited.

“I want to put a lot of things in it. Clothes, bags, shoes, cosmetics, everything! This is so convenient!” She was so excited that her face turned red.

Tang Hao smiled.

After a while, the excitement faded.

She fiddled with the ring again and raised her head to look at Tang Hao.

“Lil Tang, can I live for a long time now?”

“Yes.”

“It feels so surreal!” She murmured and held his hand tightly. “You must stay with me forever. Otherwise, it will be too lonely to live for so long.”

“OK!” Tang Hao caressed her hair gently and said dotingly.

“Then I’m relieved! With you by my side, I won’t be afraid no matter how long I live!”

As she spoke, she gently hugged him and buried her head in his arms.

After a moment of intimacy, the two of them got up, changed their clothes, and drove to the cinema. They arrived just in time for the midnight premiere.

At that moment, there was a sea of people at the entrance of the cinema. They were all there to watch the sequel of “Mao Mountain Taoist Priest.”

Witnessing the scene, Tang Hao could not help but feel emotional.

When the first film was released, the scheduling was very miserable. Now, according to Manager Zhuo, it occupied more than 70% of the showings in the cinemas across the country. It was enough to crush any other movie released in this summer season.

Even those Hollywood blockbusters could not compare to it.

When they entered the theater, they met many familiar faces.

The movie lasted for two hours, but there was not a single boring moment. Laughter and cheers did not stop, and it was a very lively scene.

After the movie ended, everyone still wanted more.

“It’s so exciting! It’s so funny!”

Qin Xiangyi was also full of praise. “It’s even better than the first movie. The Taoist masters are so awesome! Oh right, those are called heavenly masters, right? They’re so funny and extra! I want to laugh when I see them!”

The two of them walked out of the theater hand in hand.

The next morning, the internet was abuzz with news about the movie. The comments online were overwhelmingly positive.

By noon, the box office had already reached one hundred million yuan, which caused an uproar in public opinion.

Not many movies could break the one hundred million yuan mark in a single day, but that movie had made one hundred million yuan in half a day. It was truly shocking.

In the wee hours of the morning, the box office statistics came out. The first day’s box office earnings were two hundred and fifty million yuan!

It was far more than any other movie in the box office rankings.

“It should make at least two billion yuan. It might even hit three billion!”

“Unbelievable! The movie didn’t have a long production time, just a little over four months!”

Everyone was talking about it.

In the next few days, the momentum did not seem to decrease. Its single-day box office earnings were stable at around one hundred and fifty million. In just six days, it had already broken the one billion mark.

That day, Tang Hao went to Provincial City to attend the movie’s celebration party.

The heavenly masters were also there, and they were very happy.

They had invested a lot of money into the movie, and they would not be getting any money from it. All they wanted was to appear in the movie and show off.

“Haha! Spiritual Master Tang, it’s a pleasure to work with you! Are you planning to make the third movie? Let’s work together again!”

“Oh right, can you put in more scenes for us?”

The heavenly masters surrounded Tang Hao with great enthusiasm.

Tang Hao pointed at Manager Zhuo and Trendy Taoist Master and said, “You can talk to them!”

He had left the movie in their hands.

After the celebration party, Tang Hao met up with the people from the Agency and gave them the Yellow Flame Formation. Then, he followed the Taoist masters up to Mao Mountain.

He was warmly welcomed when he arrived at Mao Mountain.

Taoist Master Qian Ji took him around.

“Brother Tang, look. We have opened up many more fields for planting medicinal herbs, but those don’t have leyline gathering formations, and the herbs are growing very slowly. We need about fifty sets.”

Taoist Master Qian Ji explained when they arrived at the fields.

The barren land around Mao Mountain was transformed into medicinal fields, and hard-working Taoist masters were seen everywhere. They carried hoes and water buckets, and they were busy weeding and watering.

“Fifty sets!”

Tang Hao frowned.

The demand was quite big.

Recently, he had to make Artifact formations and replenish his supply of jade talismans. He did not have enough spare jade reserves. Moreover, making fifty sets of talisman formations would need a lot of time and effort.

After pondering for a long time, Tang Hao said, “How about this, Taoist master? I’ll teach you how to craft jade talismans!”
