Chapter 75. *Sarcastically* Oh my, what a surprise.
After Su Ping touched his head and felt the wound disappear, he looked at his surroundings.
His current position is right in the middle of the cliff. Above him, there is the part where he comes from. While below, there is another cliff that goes on until it reaches the edge of my [Scan].
When he tried to climb the path to return above, he found it too dangerous due to the cliff's steep degree and finally decided to give up.
Without much choice, I saw him open the system store, perhaps trying to look for a way out. When he scrolled until the part I just added, I can see his face turn a bit surprised.
Soon, he arrived at the section selling a floating talisman and bought it.
[Floating Talisman: 10 points each.
Description: allow the user to float. Please tear it or imbue the user's mental power to use. Lasts for 10 minutes.]
Although I've already done several simulations, this is still my first attempt at crafting a talisman. So, I tried to make sure I followed the instructions to a tee.
Focusing myself on this task, I created the talisman right above Su Ping's palm.
When Ren Qingquan saw Su Ping suddenly obtaining a talisman, he quickly asked me. 'System, did he just purchase that talisman from you? How come I never knew you sold talismans?'
[Yeah, System has updated the store just now.]
'Why don't you send a notification or something? Who knows, there might be something I need that you sold in your new shop.'Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
Whoops, guess I forgot about that.
Now that Ren Qingquan reminded me, I sent the update notification to him, Su Ping, and Ren Qingchen.
[Ding! System shop has been updated.]
When Su Ping felt the sensation of a paper in his hand, I saw him move his other hand and prepared to tear it open.
That's when I stopped him.
[Host, please check the system map!]
Following my notification, Su Ping paused his hand and opened the system map. From it, He found out there is actually a road hidden behind the vegetation next to the protruding rock he stood on.
Furthermore, approximately fifty meters away from him, there are several huge dots of light.
After he waited for another few minutes and saw those dots didn't move at all, he finally started moving toward the plants blocking the road.
When I saw him spending some time observing those dots, I nodded my nonexistent head.
It seems Su Ping is quite smart. Even at that distance his [Scan] can only detect the amount of energy something has and can't detect whether it is a beast, plant, or a treasure.
At this time, Ren Qingquan who is bored can't watch Su Ping's antics any further and decided to write something.
[Warm reminder, you may use the system's map and select an item to test for any poisons and traps. Host may click or stare at the '+' button to zoom in the system map if you're unable to see the outline of the items you wish to scan.]
Su Ping saw the reminder and opened his system map before zooming in toward the location near him. After zooming until the map only shows the location within his ten meter radius, the outline of a corpse can finally be seen.
He then pressed on the screen and information about the corpse was written.
[Item: Skeleton
Detail: The skeleton of a male human. Equipped with two spirit crystals and a dagger.]
When he saw the notification, Su Ping asked. "Senior system, does that mean there is no poison on this skeleton?"
Before I could respond, Ren Qingquan had already typed on his screen.
[Yes!]
With reassurance given by Ren Qingquan, Su Ping finally went toward Yuan Chen's corpse and collected the dagger and spirit crystal while repeatedly muttering 'Please forgive me, senior'.
Once he was done with collecting those three things, Su Ping's eyes moved toward the bead attached to the ceiling.
With his martial arts skill, he jumped into the ceiling and used the dagger he purchased from the blacksmith to pry it out. Then, he hid the bead inside his clothes after wrapping it in the cloth he had torn previously.
It indeed makes the amount of light and wind the bead release to decrease, but there is still some wind occasionally released through the gap in that piece of cloth.
After taking those four items, Su Ping looked around the room and his eyes were locked to the bookshelf I previously saw.
Except for the book titled '100 collection of flowers from the world' which is full of inappropriate pictures and a novel that Ren Qingquan met in Ren Family's library before, titled ' Complication of My Domineering Master's Tender Love Vol.1-10'. The other books are either about Cultivation Manual, Magical Technique, or introduction to the basics of formations.
Unlike in novels, cultivator Yuan Chen doesn't leave any illusions or diary to tell his backstory so the author can pad their word counts. What's inside his bookshelf is only useful books, except for the novel and that collection of inappropriate illustrations.
Then, Su Ping skimmed through the books and finally decided to only take the eight useful books and leave the other two behind. Although only leaving both books may make the next person to enter this place think cultivator Yuan Chen is a perverted novel addict. But it is understandable, as Su Ping's pocket is limited and he must use it to gather only useful things.
With everything important already picked up, Su Ping left Yuan Chen's residence after bowing to the corpse three times.
Closing the door to cultivator Yuan Chen's residence, he followed the path and returned to the stone platform where he fell previously.
Above the stone that protruded from the mountain, Su Ping tore the floating talisman I made. I can finally see how effective the talisman I made while following a book's guide is!
To be honest, except for the cost to make it, I am quite satisfied with the result. If I can find a way to cut costs, spamming talisman attacks might be a good way to increase Ren Qingquan's survival rate.
Once the talisman is torn, Su Ping finds himself engulfed by the energy generated by that talisman and starts floating.
At first his movement was a bit awkward and he almost fell to his death several times. But after a few attempts, he can finally control his flight path and started to float towards the road where he fell from.
