Dantai Zhongde, the treasure land expert, was taken aback. He put down a spiritual herb in his hand and said with a smile, "Shen Girl, what's the matter? You look troubled."
Shen Subing bit her red lips, anxiously saying, "Elder De, I want to ask you something, and please don't deceive me."
Dantai Zhongde raised an eyebrow, sensing the seriousness in her tone. "Go ahead, just ask. I won't deceive you."
Shen Subing hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath. "I want to know about the nine great treasure talismans. Are they real? Do you think they can really be found?"
At the mention of the nine great treasure talismans, Dantai Zhongde's expression turned solemn. He nodded and said, "The nine great treasure talismans are indeed real. They are said to be powerful artifacts, each with its own unique abilities. Many cultivators dream of obtaining them, but they are extremely rare."
Shen Subing's eyes lit up with curiosity. "What kind of abilities do they have?"
Dantai Zhongde stroked his chin, thinking for a moment. "Each talisman has its specialties. For example, the Invisibility Talisman allows the user to become invisible for a short period, while the Thunderstorm Nine Heavens Talisman can unleash a devastating thunderstorm. The Space Cage Deadly Talisman is used to trap enemies in a spatial prison, making it nearly impossible for them to escape."
Shen Subing listened intently, her heart racing with excitement. "Are there any clues on where to find them?"
"Clues are scarce," Dantai Zhongde replied. "Some say they are hidden in ancient ruins, while others believe they are in the possession of powerful cultivators. However, be wary—many have searched for them but returned empty-handed or worse."
Shen Subing's expression turned serious. "I understand. Thank you, Elder De."
Dantai Zhongde smiled gently. "Just be careful, Shen Girl. The pursuit of power can lead one down a dangerous path."
Shen Subing nodded, her determination solidifying. She was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in her quest for the treasure talismans.
"Elder De, has my master looked for you in the past month or so?" Shen Subing inquired.
"No," Shen Wende shook his head. "What’s up? Do you not trust this old man? Since I promised you last time that if your master came, I would secretly inform you, I would never go back on my word."
"Elder De, I trust you, but..." Shen Subing pouted, her face a bit angry, "It's just that I planted the flag at Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain over two months ago, and I still haven’t seen my master!"
"Is that so?" Dantai Zhongde raised his eyebrows. "Perhaps your master has been busy lately and hasn’t gone to Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain. Oh right, what exactly happened? Why are you in such a hurry to find your master?"
"Sigh, it's hard to explain." Shen Subing said with a gloomy expression. "Elder De, you go about your business first. I’ll wait for my master at Number Three Supreme VIP Pavilion. If anyone looks for me, please have someone inform me."
Seeing that Shen Subing wouldn’t say more, Dantai Zhongde didn’t press her further and said, "Alright, you go on ahead."
"Okay." Shen Subing forced a smile, then turned and gracefully stepped out of the room, making her way to the third floor of Number Three Supreme VIP Pavilion.
She helplessly gazed at the jade chair that Tan Yun once sat on behind the landscape screen, softly murmuring, "Master, please show up soon... your disciple really needs you..."
Shen Subing waited, her anticipation growing for forty-three days, yet her master remained elusive...
At the same time, high above the giant training ground, in the clouds eight thousand feet above, a gentle breeze blew, and the cloud sea swirled.
Upon closer inspection, one would find that in the empty cloud sea, groups of white clouds drifted with the wind, appearing as if they were colliding with an invisible wall in the stillness of the void.
The reason for this phenomenon was that Jiang Xia, at the fifth layer of the refining soul realm, was activating an Invisibility Talisman while hiding among the clouds on a Flying Sword.
