Chapter 282: Chapter 231 Plan Success!_3
 

“Your Highness, don’t worry, I have already brought the Talisman.”

“Good, hurry and let me try it.”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, “Allow me to keep you guessing.”

Liang Qing’s teacher, Gan Zhong, twitched at the corner of his mouth. In order to obtain this Talisman, their Linlan Sect had given up over a hundred Demonic Tao Cultivation Techniques from their collection, many of which were secrets not passed outside the Demon Sect, acquired by Linlan Sect through all means and with great effort. The loss was not insignificant.

And now Jiang Cheng wanted to keep them guessing?

His attitude seemed a bit too much.

“Jiang Cheng, if you don’t tell us the effects of the Talisman, how can we use it to deal with Li Qing?”

Jiang Cheng explained calmly, “Hearing is not as good as seeing. I am prepared to have a trial with the Fifth Prince, and at that time, the effects of the Talisman will be evident.”

Liang Qing said, “A trial? You are at the Qi Cultivation Stage, do you want me to try the Talisman while at the Qi Stage?”

“There’s no need for that, I can activate a second-order Talisman just as well while in Qi Cultivation, Your Highness just needs to maintain your peak condition.”

Gan Zhong fell silent upon hearing this.

For Jiang Cheng, a Qi Cultivation level facing Foundation Establishment sounded good in theory, but anyone with a bit of sense knew it was too much of a stretch.

Besides, Liang Qing also had a third-order Magical Treasure for protection, his strength far surpassing an average Foundation Establishment.

He wanted to see just how powerful Jiang Cheng’s new Talisman was to make him dare to do something as ridiculous as a Qi Cultivation level facing Foundation Establishment.

At the trial ground of Prince Yue Mansion, Jiang Cheng and Liang Qing assumed their positions.

Liang Qing stood with his hands behind his back and said, “Jiang, to deal with you, I won’t need a Magical Treasure.”

Jiang Cheng responded, “Your Highness, do your best. Only then can we test the limit of the new Talisman.”

“Fine! Since you insist, I won’t hold back!”

Liang Qing took out three Magical Treasures on the spot. Among them, Thousand Wooden Swords and Ice Light Mirror—one for attack and one for control—targeted Jiang Cheng; Golden Might Pearl was in charge of defense, aimed at himself.

“Jiang Cheng, let me see how powerful your Talisman is! Let’s see how many rounds you can last under my hand with your new Talisman!”

Jiang Cheng smiled faintly and threw out the “Enlightenment Experience Talisman.”

The Enlightenment Experience Talisman turned into a fine beam of light and struck Liang Qing in an instant.

Liang Qing laughed loudly, “Ha! Is this all? I don’t feel anything at all. Wait, no, my brain feels so much clearer, and I’m more sensitive to the air around me. Have I really improved again?”

Just as Liang Qing was indulging in his moment of pride, Gan Zhong suddenly shouted, “Liang Qing! Look above your head!”

Liang Qing looked up; the sky was a kaleidoscope of colors, as if there was a rhythmic dance of rosy light.

Liang Qing couldn’t make out what was happening, but Gan Zhong, who hailed from the Immortal Sect and had seen much of the world, exclaimed in shock, “A refreshing body combined with a heavenly phenomenon? This is Enlightenment! Liang Qing, you’re about to achieve Enlightenment!”

“What!”

Liang Qing was also startled.

Enlightenment was a treatment said to be reserved for the geniuses in legends. Could it be that he, Liang Qing, was truly a favored son of heaven?

It seemed reasonable when he thought about it.

Though he didn’t know where exactly it was reasonable, the phenomenon made it so.

Gan Zhong shouted, “You fool! Don’t just stand there, why not sit down and meditate to grasp the laws of Enlightenment!”

Liang Qing hurriedly did as he was told.

As for Jiang Cheng, he had already been forgotten.

A challenge?

What challenge?

Was anything as important as attaining Enlightenment?

Even though he had no idea how to begin with Enlightenment, and his mind was completely blank, sitting down in meditation should do the trick, right?

Just as Liang Qing had settled down to meditate, Gan Zhong was getting ready to share the good news with Gu Dongsheng when Jiang Cheng inconveniently raised his hand.

“Sorry to interrupt, but have I won?”

Gan Zhong waved his hand and said, “You win. Make sure you don’t make a noise and disturb Liang Qing. No one is allowed to disturb someone during their Enlightenment.”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, “Okay, but I have other matters to attend to and need to wrap up the Talisman contract quickly. If he really wants to attain Enlightenment, he can do it after I leave.”

Gan Zhong quickly grabbed Jiang Cheng, speaking very seriously, “Jiang Cheng, Liang Qing cannot be disturbed by any external matters while pursuing Enlightenment!”

Jiang Cheng took out the Talisman plan and said, “Elder Gan, I understand your sentiment, but the Enlightenment Liang Qing is experiencing is an effect of our Talisman. He can truly attempt to attain Enlightenment again at any time, you don’t have to worry that he won’t have a second chance.”

Gan Zhong’s eyes widened incredulously, “What is that? Say that again?”

Jiang Cheng patiently introduced the Enlightenment Experience Talisman to Gan Zhong one more time.

Gan Zhong was shocked from start to finish, his pupils quivering with disbelief.

“You’re telling me that this Enlightenment effect is a special effect produced by your Talisman?”

“Yes.”

“So you created a false Enlightenment; what’s your angle?”

“It’s not false Enlightenment; it’s an Experience Talisman. It helps cultivators who haven’t experienced Enlightenment to get a feel for it in advance. Moreover, it works very well for challenges.”

“How is that ‘very well’?”

Jiang Cheng pointed to Liang Qing on the stage, who was still trying to “attain Enlightenment.”

“You tell me, did I win or not?”
