Chapter 2115: Zombie Talisman

The sound of stringed instruments filled his ears, and before him stood an extraordinarily magnificent palace.

This palace was about several hundred feet wide. Lin Xuan's gaze swept over it, discovering that there were already more than a hundred cultivators inside, all with serene expressions as they scattered throughout the place.

In the center of the palace, a group of beautiful women were dancing gracefully.

Their cultivation levels were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but each one was strikingly handsome or pretty. Their appearances and figures were top-notch.

Just from this group of women, it could be seen how grand the plan of the Heavenly Corpse Sect was.

The Great Treasure Fair had not yet begun, but with such a performance by beautiful ladies, there would naturally be no boredom or loneliness.

Lin Xuan's gaze swept around. He found that most of the cultivators in the hall were at the Separation and Profound Void stages, with over thirty percent being at this level. This clearly showed how significant the Great Treasure Fair was.

About half of these cultivators were disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, while the rest were outsiders.

There were fewer people than expected, but as the Great Treasure Fair had not yet started, more cultivators would likely arrive soon.

With such thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan remained unmoved on the surface. He began to enjoy the fine wine and fruits placed beside his seat.

Three hours quickly passed. As time went by, more and more cultivators entered the hall. Suddenly, Lin Xuan raised his head as if sensing something. The entire hall started to stir.

"Is it really possible? That ancient demon, that old monster actually came! I didn't see wrong!"

"Could there be a great treasure emerging during this Great Treasure Fair, attracting a Separation Stage cultivator?"

"I heard he is already ten thousand years old this year. Is that true?"

Various discussions filled the air. However, when an elderly man with one eye entered the hall, all voices stopped.

The one-eyed old man was riding in a carriage pulled by a single-legged strange bird. From its appearance, it somewhat resembled the Phoenix Bird, but only somewhat. The Phoenix Bird was a true spirit and even Separation Stage cultivators or late-stage Golden Transformation monsters couldn't possibly use such a powerful entity as a carriage.

"Greetings to my senior!"

The Heavenly Corpse Sect's cultivators immediately fell to their knees in the hall, their faces showing surprise and suspicion. They hadn't expected the sect's Supreme Elder to visit them here.

The outsiders also stood up, bowing respectfully. In the cultivation world, respect was shown to power, so it was necessary for them to show reverence to a Separation Stage cultivator.

"Enough of this formalities. I just finished my seclusion and coincidentally, the Great Treasure Fair has started. Let's join in the fun," the ancient demon's hoarse voice echoed. He seemed quite pleased as he spoke.

Although the ancient demon was at the Separation Stage, his presence didn't exude any pressure; however, his voice carried an irresistible authority.

The cultivators below naturally agreed and no one voiced any objections.

"Good. Since you all agree, I will first present a treasure to spark interest."

The ancient demon's face showed satisfaction as he spoke. His words immediately made the atmosphere lively. The Great Treasure Fair had never seen Separation Stage cultivators before, so his presence alone guaranteed that what he would show was of great significance.

Many cultivators revealed expressions of anticipation.

The ancient demon scanned the crowd with his eyes and a beautiful woman handed him a tray covered in red cloth, which shielded their minds from prying.

Lin Xuan's face showed curiosity. He didn't know what the old demon would present.

Soon enough, the mystery was solved as the old demon removed the red cloth to reveal a wooden box about a foot long.

A pleasant scent wafted into his nostrils. Two talismans were affixed on top of the box, adding an air of mystery.

The cultivators in attendance, all knowledgeable, recognized that whatever was inside was no ordinary item. The old demon's face remained calm as he flicked his fingers, igniting the talisman without wind. With a snap, the lid opened and revealed its contents.

"Ah, what is this..."

Lin Xuan had guessed it might be either materials or a treasure, but to his surprise, it was a talisman.

However, it wasn't just any ordinary talisman; the paper was pale white with an eerie appearance. A ghastly zombie was drawn on it.

"A Zombie Talisman!"

The path of cultivation was vast and deep, and Lin Xuan had some understanding of talisman-making but far from mastery. After all, a person's energy was limited, and he mostly spent his time taking medicine and meditating.

Zombie Talismans did not exist in the human world, but after arriving in the Nael Dragon Realm, he had heard about them—rumored to be a secret technique of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Of course, what was sealed within the talisman wasn't a zombie, but rather corpse energy. Through special techniques, once this talisman was summoned, the corpse energy could coalesce into a temporary zombie monster.

The strength of such a creature would depend on the level of the Zombie Talisman itself.

As one of the two Separation Stage Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the ancient demon's Zombie Talismans couldn't be trash; they were likely incredibly powerful.

Sure enough, his voice continued: "This talisman was made from the corpse energy of a Silver-Winged Corpse King I've nurtured for ten thousand years. It has about one-third the strength of a Separation Stage cultivator and only lasts half an incense stick's time."

Today is just one update because it's the New Year, after all. I should spend some time with my family too. Wishing all fellow cultivators a happy new year, good health, and everything goes well! @.
