Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 55: The Mysterious Fishing Expert

Translator: 549690339

Last time he made the Muscle Relaxation Talisman, Jiang Cheng had directly used another talisman as the blueprint for developing it.

But this time, for the Animal Encouragement Talisman, Jiang Cheng was drawing inspiration from the magical treasures of the Sea Tribe.

He couldn’t see or touch the Sea Tribe’s magical treasures, only relying on his planning memories to replicate the “Song of Tides.”

The difficulty of creating the two talismans was simply not comparable.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng didn’t need to fully replicate the “Song of Tides.”

As a renowned and powerful 7th rank spell, “Song of Tides” could be launched at full force by a mighty member of the Sea Tribe, enhancing millions of sea warriors across an entire ocean region.

Jiang Cheng only needed about one ten-thousandth to one hundred-thousandth of the power of the Song of Tides.

The notes emitted by the Song of Tides were essentially the BGM of the Immortal Gods.

Singing the entire song was difficult for Jiang Cheng, but humming the tune was quite easy.

As long as he recorded this tune into the Animal Encouragement Talisman…

Then lowered the frequency of the song to make it into infrasound…

And added complex, random noise to disguise the sound waves…

Soon, Jiang Cheng drew a strange pattern on the talisman paper.

This patter was the initial version of “Animal Encouragement Talisman (Fish Edition)!”

Without delay, Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa in the living room of his apartment and slowly infused his spiritual power into the talisman…

Animal Encouragement Talisman, activate!

The lines on the talisman paper flickered with the faint glow of spiritual power combustion.

This indicated that the talisman had been activated.

Then…

Until the talisman’s time ran out…

Nothing happened…

Only Liu Qing, sitting on the balcony, looked at Jiang Cheng with a curious gaze.

If Jiang Cheng remembered correctly, snakes, it seemed, could hear infrasound.

“Liu Qing, did you hear any sound just now?”

“Hmm.”

“How was it?”

“Unpleasant,” Liu Qing replied without hesitation.

Jiang Cheng: …

“Liu Qing, you probably don’t have many friends, do you?”

Liu Qing nodded.

Indeed, she didn’t have many friends, even among the Demon Race.

Jiang Cheng wasn’t surprised at all by Liu Qing’s answer.

With Liu Qing’s way of speaking, others might say she has low EQ, no wonder her demon relationships weren’t good.

But Jiang Cheng was different; he only felt sorry for her hardly existing friends.

Being friends with Liu Qing must be tough on you.

Setting aside the topic of friends, Jiang Cheng refocused on his work.

“Liu Qing, after you heard that sound just now, did you feel uncomfortable anywhere other than your ears?”

“My ears.”

“Apart from your ears.”

Liu Qing thought for a moment, then shook her head.

In theory, if the Song of Tides could provide buffs to the Sea Tribe, then conversely, it could also apply debuffs to other groups.

As the cultivator who activated the talisman, Jiang Cheng was unaffected for the time being, so why wasn’t Liu Qing affected even though she clearly heard the sound?

There were only two explanations for this.

One was that Jiang Cheng’s talisman had failed.

The other was that Liu Qing’s power level was just too high.

The battle power mechanism of the Immortal Gods follows the principle that “the strong are ever strong;” as long as one’s power level is high enough, the effects of items and spells will be significantly reduced.

For example, the Muscle Relaxation Talisman can be used to train ones Qi and suppress a Foundation Establishment Stage teacher’s cultivation level to that of Qi training. But if it were truly used against a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it’s unlikely to have any significant effect.

This is the charm of power levels.

Sorry, having a high level truly allows one to do whatever they want.

Liu Qing’s power level was too high, and such a small trinket wouldn’t affect her, which was completely normal.

Jiang Cheng did not lose faith in the Animal Encouragement Talisman, and while he still had the energy that day, drew several more. Later, when he had some free time, he collected some materials needed to make the “Reusable Type” talisman.

Once the single-use Animal Encouragement Talisman succeeded, Jiang Cheng would move onto the next phase and develop the reusable type.

Outside Wuyue City, by the river at the foot of Wu Mountain.

This place is densely wooded, with beautiful scenery, and the river flows gently, making it a great spot for fishing.

Similar fishing spots in the mountains have all been trampled into existence by countless fishing enthusiasts.

Not many people knew about this spot yet, and it was rich in fish, making the chances of getting a bite quite high.

However, when it comes to fishing, those in the know understand.

Catching fish is the minority; the air force is the reality of life.

Not a peep from fishing all day.

Yue Lipeng and Shen Gengqin had been squatting here for the whole night.

It’s not that they caught nothing this night, but rather that it was very lonely.

The water in the bucket had been changed three times, yet not a single fish was willing to come into the bucket for a drink.

Shen Gengqin rubbed his eyes and said, “Old Yue, let’s pack it in and come back tomorrow. I’ve been up all night and I’m dying from sleepiness.”

Yue Lipeng, holding the fishing rod and staring with wide eyes, said, “No way, we haven’t caught a single fish today, we can’t be just air force!”

“Air what? How could that be? The car’s got supply, bought fresh from the market last night. Two fish, one for you, one for me.”

“Niiice.” Yue Lipeng gave Shen Gengqin a thumbs-up.

“Hey, that’s experience for you. If you didn’t bring something home today, would your wife let you out tomorrow? Come on, enough blabber, let’s pack up. I’m going to find a spot to deal with a water circulation issue.”

A moment later, Yue Lipeng was packing up the fishing rods, stool, and bucket when he heard Shen Gengqin running over to him in a panic.

“Old Yue, come quick!”

“What’s up?”

“No time to talk, just come with me!”

Yue Lipeng was pulled by Shen Gengqin into a jog until they finally hid behind a tree.

“Old Shen, what on earth is it?”

“Look over there, but keep it down.”

Yue Lipeng followed Shen Gengqin’s pointing finger.

“Holy shit!”

“Keep your voice down!”

Yue Lipeng didn’t want to be loud, but what he saw was just too outrageous.

Not far from them, there sat another pair of fishers.

They were a young couple with just one fishing rod.

The young man was holding the fishing rod while the young woman sat quietly beside him.

They seemed very affectionate, quite the loving couple.

But that wasn’t the point. The point was the man had an extraordinary ability to catch fish!

Every time he cast his line into the water, it took no more than five seconds to hook a big fish!

Yue Lipeng and Shen Gengqin had been fishing for most of their lives and had never seen anything like this!

Is this even fishing anymore?

This is wholesale shopping in the river, isn’t it!

By the riverbank.

Jiang Cheng skillfully lifted the fishing rod.

Looking at the large crucian carp on the hook, Jiang Cheng let out a small sigh.

“It’s you again? You’re too ambitious, buddy.”

Jiang Cheng removed the fish from the hook and threw it back into the water, then cast his line again.

This time he didn’t hook it again but instead met another old friend.

Jiang Cheng had tried temporarily keeping the hooked fish in the bucket, but soon the bucket was too full to hold any more because of the sheer number of fish.

As a human with compassion, Jiang Cheng had to consider the lives of the fish. He couldn’t just watch them being squashed together in the bucket, so he had to throw them back into the river.

Thus, the situation had turned into what it was now.

Always the most ambitious fish managed to bite Jiang Cheng’s hook.

Luckily, Jiang Cheng had roughly figured out the strength of the Animal Encouragement Talisman and planned to make some adjustments to its intensity when he got back. That should do the trick.

“Jiang Cheng. There are people,” Liu Qing said.

People?

With Liu Qing’s cultivation level, her perceptual range was vast. Technically, there should be people everywhere to her.

If she was specifically mentioning “people” now, it was likely not just “there are people,” but “there are people coming.”

Being good at thinking was the secret to Jiang Cheng’s unimpeded communication with big monsters.

“Brother! Brother! How do you catch fish like that? Teach us!” a loud shout came from a distance.
