Although Zhang Yuanqing had only known Fu Qingyang for three months, he was already very familiar with this superior. Every frown and smile... no, every move he made, Zhang Yuanqing could discern the emotions behind it.

'He's unhappy now, tsk, what a temper...' Zhang Yuanqing grumbled inwardly, took out a thin stack of Evil-Breaking Charms and went straight to the point:

"These are talismans left by the Mother of Three Dao Mountain, a unique skill of the Pure Yang Sect, which requires the infusion of Solar Power to refine. They are consumables at the Sovereign level. Of course, they don't have strong offensive capabilities. Their main function is purification, and they have a super-strong restraining effect on wraiths. Although they can't be considered particularly high-level talismans, this subordinate thinks..."

He was about to say that the Evil-Breaking Charms might have a miraculous effect in preventing and targeting the Pure Yang Sect Leader when Fu Qingyang interrupted him with a rapid-fire question:

"How many do you have? What's the cost of making this kind of talisman? Can it be mass-produced?"

The gleam that suddenly lit up in Fu Qingyang's eyes, the slight forward lean of his body, and the impatient tone made Zhang Yuanqing stunned. Although he still didn't show too exaggerated emotional changes, it was relatively rare on the usually composed Qian Gongzi.

Zhang Yuanqing said: "There are only ten at the moment, but I can make Evil-Breaking Charms. Well, it'll probably take a day or two of practice. As for mass production, it depends on the specific quantity. The Solar Power required for Evil-Breaking Charms won't be too much. Making forty or fifty shouldn't be a problem. For more, I'll have to summon the great Mother and ask."

Fu Qingyang pondered for a few seconds and said:

"According to the headquarters' style, the price of each talisman is about one million. If you can mass-produce them, the price will be lower."

Zhang Yuanqing said with grief and indignation:

"Boss, you're forcing me to betray the organization."

Fu Qingyang said indifferently: "Spineless!"

He picked up the Evil-Breaking Charms on the table, got up and walked out, saying:

"I'll fight for a better price for you, but remember, you are a member of the official faction, you have to be familiar with the style of the official faction. The meaning of medals is always more important than money, and giving away half and selling half is the right approach. Your political awareness needs to be higher. I'll give you specific feedback later!”

Fu Qingyang returned to his study, spread out the Evil-Breaking Charms in his hand, and paused slightly.

Because there were eleven talismans.

One of them was not an Evil-Breaking Charm, but a Peace Charm. The simple and smooth spirit inscription occupied half of the paper talisman, and the other half had a line of small characters written on it: "Besides you, who in the world is worthy of wearing white clothes!"

Fu Qingyang stared at the Peace Charm for a long while.

In the conference room, Fu Qingyang's 3D projection reappeared.

At this time, the elders around the conference table were "piecing together" methods to deal with the Pure Yang Sect Leader and popularizing them to the bottom-level Night Watchers, only to find helplessly that there were many props targeting wraiths. Domestically and internationally, there were also many consumables with the same functions.

But to get one for every bottom-level Night Watcher in the Taiyi Sect was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The reason for discussing this topic was that an elder believed that instead of searching blindly, waiting for the rabbit might be a good choice.

Seeing Fu Qingyang return, the elders didn't pay much attention and continued arguing.

"Undeniably, this is indeed the best opportunity for the Pure Yang Sect Leader to suffer a setback and take his life while he's down, but the cost is too high. And the current situation is that even if we spare no expense, we may not be able to do it."

"I disagree with your point of view. A combination of a Sun Wanderer and an Illusionist, and not restricted by moral values, will be troublesome even for us once they grow up."

"You're going too far. Maybe the Taiyi Sect can benefit from illusion or revelation."

"The main ability of Star Gazing is to see the general trend. I don't have much confidence in finding people. I'm more looking forward to the performance of divination. How about this, the Taiyi Sect can temporarily recall the Night Watchers sent out."

"No! Night Watchers play a big role in handling The Way of the Extraordinary incidents. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater."

At this moment, Fu Qingyang tapped the table with his fingers, interrupting the elders' argument.

Including First Elder Dihong, the Sovereigns looked over at the same time.

Fu Qingyang said: "I have ten Sovereign-level talismans. The main function is purification. The ability to resist enemies is low, but they restrain all wraiths and Yin creatures."

Purification talismans? Elder Zhao was slightly stunned. The other elders were pleasantly surprised, but also felt regret. The red-haired youth shook his head: "Ten talismans can't solve too big a problem, but it's still one more guarantee for a Night Watcher to be armed."

Fu Qingyang glanced at him and said slowly:

"I can mass-produce them, in quantities of fifty or more."

As an authoritative figure, Elder Zhao couldn't help frowning: "I've never heard of this kind of talisman."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a yellow paper talisman in Fu Qingyang's hand, and spread it out to show it to everyone. Elder Zhao stared intently for a few seconds, and the surprise and astonishment on his face were visible to the naked eye. As a Sun Wanderer, he confirmed the function of the talisman based on the brush strokes of the spirit inscription and the overall Taoist charm.

Fu Qingyang was not lying.

"What exquisite spirit inscription drawing technique. It not only attaches Solar Power to the spirit inscription, but also precisely controls it within an extremely low range. How ingenious. It would be great if we could know the process of drawing the talisman. The person who developed this kind of talisman is definitely a genius." Elder Zhao stared deeply at the Evil-Breaking Charm, looking at it with fascination, like an old scholar.

Seeing his reaction, the Sovereigns immediately had no doubts in their hearts.

"Why didn't you take out such a good thing just now?"

"In this way, it will be difficult for the Pure Yang Sect Leader to recover his strength, at least slowing down his pace."

The elders smiled.

Elder Zhao took a deep breath, forced himself to break free from the academic research mentality, and stared at Fu Qingyang with bright eyes:

"Where did you get the talisman from? I've never seen it before. By mass production, do you mean that someone can make this kind of talisman? The Taiyi Sect is willing to pay any price to buy the method of making the talisman."

The last sentence was said with incomparable sincerity and seriousness.

Fu Qingyang said:

"This is the Evil-Breaking Charm of the Pure Yang Sect, passed down from the Mother of Three Dao Mountain to Yuan Shi Tian Zun. The Pure Yang Sect was destroyed early, and the unique skills have long been lost. There may not be any inheritance in The Way of the Extraordinary, so it's normal that Elder Zhao hasn't seen it."

The entire conference room was suddenly silent.

That Yuan Shi Tian Zun was clearly not on the scene, but it was as if he had been supporting the meeting all the time, with a higher attendance rate than any other elder.

Moreover, every appearance played an important role. It was actually Yuan Shi Tian Zun?

Elder Zhao smiled: "Please tell Yuan Shi Tian Zun that the Taiyi Sect is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the method of making the talisman. As long as they control the method of making the talisman, the Taiyi Sect can produce a large number of talismans in a short period of time."

"Moreover, I can promise on behalf of the Taiyi Sect that the Five Elements Alliance will buy the talisman at a 30% discount."

Since it came from an official member, it was simple. Hearing this, the elders of the Five Elements Alliance's eyes lit up. This deal was undoubtedly cost-effective. The Five Elements Alliance was equivalent to having a large number of high-quality purification talismans for nothing.

Under everyone's gaze, Fu Qingyang nodded: "No problem!"

"The Taiyi Sect will offer a Sovereign-level item, and I will sell the method of making the Evil-Breaking Charm to the Taiyi Sect." Elder Zhao was stunned, thinking he was teasing him, "Elder Fu, don't joke."

Fu Qingyang explained "sincerely":

"The unique skills of the Pure Yang Sect must not be sold without permission. If you want to buy it, you can only exchange it for a Sovereign-level item. Elder Zhao, please consider it. As for the number of Evil-Breaking Charms, don't worry. Within three days, Yuan Shi Tian Zun will make fifty talismans. You don't have to worry about the shortage of talismans."

After speaking, he looked at First Elder Dihong and said:

"First Elder, the Evil-Breaking Charm is extremely precious. I have promised Yuan Shi Tian Zun to buy it at a price of 20 million per talisman. The headquarters can prepare the funds."

The elders present had a string of question marks floating in their minds. "Twenty million per talisman?" The red-haired youth looked at him in disbelief: "You capitalist son of a bitch, do you want to empty the headquarters' treasury?"

Dihong waved his hand: "The headquarters is willing to pay one million. That's the limit."

Fu Qingyang frowned.

"Yuan Shi Tian Zun is an official member, Fu Qingyang, you are not doing business." Elder Gou said in a deep voice, then changed the subject and said: "I think two million is the limit. It can't be more. If you don't agree, I'll find Yuan Shi Tian Zun myself."

Ten million!

Three million!

"Five million per talisman, but you can actually pay three million. The remaining two million can be exchanged for the quota of application materials. Fifty Evil-Breaking Charms is a quota of 100 million materials," Fu Qingyang said.

Yuan Shi is a Night Watcher, and he often lacks materials. Turning money into material quotas can just fill his needs. It is also a treatment style familiar and recognized by the official faction.

If an organization wants to gather "faith", it must dilute money, so there will be situations where people who have made great contributions are only rewarded with medals.

But in fact, diluting money does not mean there are no benefits, but it is given in another form.

For example, the material quota he is now fighting for for Yuan Shi. Elder Gou looked at Dihong and said, "First Elder, I think it's okay!"

The two had been bargaining for a long time, and Elder Gou had cut the cost from 20 million to 5 million. The elders' spirit of bargaining had dissipated, and opposing it again would seem disrespectful to the newly promoted young elder. For a time, no one spoke.

Dihong glanced at Teddy, then at Fu Qingyang, and said slowly: "Okay!" As one of the spokespersons of the headquarters, he had the power to make a final decision.

Fu Qingyang looked at Elder Zhao again: "I will try my best to help the Taiyi Sect obtain the method of making the Evil-Breaking Charm." Elder Zhao's face looked a little better, and he nodded slowly.

Zhang Yuanqing bowed his head:

"Thank you, Elder Fu. The elders are wise and divine, and have the qualifications of an alliance leader. Sooner or later, you will clear all the garbage under the sky and ascend to the peak of The Way of the Extraordinary."

'I'm rich!'

'I don't have to worry about materials and funding in the future.'

Fu Qingyang nodded slightly. "I have already made a bold statement in front of the First Elder. If you can't make fifty Evil-Breaking Charms within three days, I will sell the production method to the Taiyi Sect."

"I'll do my best." Zhang Yuanqing, who had made a fortune, was radiant.

"Go back and retreat," Fu Qingyang issued an eviction order.

Zhang Yuanqing nodded, and his body collapsed into dreamlike starlight. Fu Qingyang's faint voice came to his ears: "The Peace Charm is well drawn."

Jinshan City, No Trace Hotel!

Kou Beiyue, wearing a takeaway uniform, stood next to the marble front desk, with his back to the hotel door. He sighed softly and said in a low voice:

"You still came after all."

"I still came after all!" The fat man at the door replied in the same low voice.

"You shouldn't have come."

"I've already come."

Kou Beiyue slowly turned around, staring at the little fat man at the door, with an air of parting in the world, and said: "Long time no see!"

Before the little fat man could answer, Xiao Yuan behind the front desk said coldly: "It's only been two weeks."

Kou Beiyue broke the atmosphere in a second, and greeted him with joy, "It seems that Yuan Shi Tian Zun's divisive plan is very effective. You really can't stay in the evil organization anymore."

He told Xiao Yuan about the little fat man's request to meet, and Xiao Yuan agreed to the matter, but requested that the meeting place be chosen at the No Trace Hotel.

"Damn it, it really is this dog thief!" The little fat man cursed, first cautiously glanced at Xiao Yuan, and then explained:

"I have been living in fear recently. I always feel that everyone wants to kill me. Although the veteran Saints and Elders in the organization are protecting me, I still feel uneasy. That's why I miss you more and more, and can't sleep at night. I feel at ease when I see you, Boss."

Kou Beiyue suddenly felt a little smug.

Xiao Yuan, standing at the front desk, suddenly said, "You don't feel safe without the boss. Is this your obsession?"

The little fat man was silent, as if he didn't want to discuss this topic.

Xiao Yuan said coldly: "I'm not interested in your past. Are you here for Kou Beiyue, or Yuan Shi Tian Zun?"

The little fat man asked back: "What's the difference?"

Xiao Yuan smiled coldly: "If it's for Kou Beiyue, then do as you please. If it's for Yuan Shi Tian Zun, you can prepare to return to The Way of the Extraordinary."

The little fat man was silent for a few seconds. After all, he didn't have the confidence to compete with this bright and generous woman, and said in a deep voice: "I'm here to find the boss. It has nothing to do with Yuan Shi Tian Zun."

Xiao Yuan remained noncommittal: "If you want to follow Bei Yue, you must undergo a test."

"I can try, but I want to know what the test is."

"I'll take you upstairs later. Before that, I have a question to ask you." Xiao Yuan looked at the chubby little otaku and said word by word:

"Are you willing to reconcile with this world?"

The little fat man was stunned. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "I, I don't know."

Xiao Yuan nodded, stepped on flat women's leather shoes, and walked towards the depths of the hotel, stepping on the shiny floor tiles. Kou Beiyue excitedly pushed the little fat man and motioned for him to follow.

The little fat man, trusting his boss, followed Xiao Yuan's back without hesitation, entered the elevator, and came to the door of room 404.

"Go in!"

The little fat man was looking around, guessing the other party's intention, when he heard the mature and beautiful, but cold woman, gesture towards the door with her eyes.

He walked to the door, turned the doorknob with a click, and the next second, he disappeared into the hotel corridor.

Xiao Yuan waited silently outside. More than ten minutes later, the door of room 404 opened, and the little fat man's figure appeared in the corridor.

His expression was dull, his eyes were empty, and he said in a low voice:

"I want an empty room. I, I want to be quiet and think about some things."

At the same time, Master No Trace's ethereal and low voice sounded in Xiao Yuan's ears:

"Take him to practice!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yuan knew that there was a new member in the team from now on.

Dusk!

Fu Jiawan Villa District, small villa.

In the bedroom, Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the drafts scattered on the ground and gently rubbed his swollen forehead.

"Alas, drawing talismans is really damn difficult. I'm tired. Let's destroy it."

Drawing talismans is just a basic skill of Night Watchers, and the difficulty is already daunting. People who lack perseverance and motivation basically give up here.

"I can't just draw Evil-Breaking Charms. Let's do some other projects to entertain myself."

Zhang Yuanqing put away the Demon Subduing Pestle and the prepared "ink", took out a ten-centimeter-long red thread, ten milliliters of vermilion liquid ground with clear water, three pieces of Charming Fragrance, and Siming's tears, Harmony Bead powder and other materials. He crushed them all together in a mortar and pestle, and then poured in ten milliliters of clear water.

The "ink" used to draw the Peach Blossom Charm was ready.

He spread a blank yellow paper talisman on the desk, opened the page in the book that recorded the Peach Blossom Charm, and began to draw the spirit inscription according to the description in the book.

The starting, turning, and transitioning of each stroke and the Taiyin power infused into it were different. After drawing a crooked and complicated spirit talisman, there were more than a hundred kinds of spirit power changes.

But Zhang Yuanqing actually successfully drew a Peach Blossom Charm in just half an hour and after discarding ten talismans.

"Do I actually have such talent?" He was stunned. "Well, let's try the effect."

Zhang Yuanqing infused spirit power, and the Peach Blossom Charm in his hand ignited a quiet and deep black flame, quickly burning to ashes.
