Chapter 60: Talisman Book

On the road.

Bai Zhenzhen occasionally bumped Zhang Yu with her shoulder, a fawning expression on her face. "Yuzi, you've been playing for ages."

"Let me have a go."

"This is worth a hundred thousand! A hundred thousand!" Zhang Yu quickly clutched the Talisman Book tightly. "You're so strong, what if you accidentally break it? You can't afford to replace it."

"And wipe your drool. It's almost on my Talisman Book."

Bai Zhenzhen watched eagerly as Zhang Yu breathed on the Talisman Book and rubbed it back and forth, then said ingratiatingly, "How about we trade? You let me play with the Talisman Book, and anything I have that catches your eye, I'll let you play with it."

Seeing Zhang Yu still engrossed in the Talisman Book, Bai Zhenzhen angrily grabbed his hand, then put on a sweet smile and shook his arm, saying, "Oh, Brother Zhang Yu, please let me play with it."

Zhang Yu quickly covered his eyes, feeling as though he had just stared directly at an ancient god. "Stop it right now, don't try to gross me out."

"Hmph! A weakness exposed." Bai Zhenzhen quickly snatched the Talisman Book from Zhang Yu's loosened grip.

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes. "Fine, you can play with it for a bit. Just give it back to me when we get to the station."

Bai Zhenzhen shook her head and sighed, "Those who have attachments always have weaknesses."

"Look how invincible that Plank Man is today."

"Yuzi, I suggest you get sterilized soon to remove your weakness..."

Zhang Yu snorted coldly, "Do you still want to borrow my Talisman Book?"

All the way to the station, Zhang Yu said goodbye to Bai Zhenzhen under her reluctant gaze and set off on his way home.

At this very moment, somewhere in the city.

A figure answered a call from Su Haifeng.

Su Haifeng: "...That's the situation. He has become a Divine Aide under Zhang Pianpian's protection, so the usual school methods won't work on him for now."

"Also, he has a Talisman Book, and as a temporary patrol member, he gets at least one free spell a day..."

Zhou Tianyi nodded slightly, saying calmly, "Understood. I need to act before he gets familiar with the Talisman Book and spells. He just used his free spell today... so today is my best chance to act, isn't it?"

Su Haifeng: "If you're going to act, be quick. You should go find him right now, immediately."

Zhou Tianyi nodded. "I understand. I'll go find Zhang Yu once I finish what I'm doing."

Su Haifeng asked, puzzled, "Is there anything so important that it can't wait?"

Zhou Tianyi shook his head. "Some things cannot be delayed, not even for a second."

"Don't worry, it won't take long and won't affect my handling of Zhang Yu."

After hanging up, Zhou Tianyi moved, and a fierce wind seemed to rise beneath his feet as he shot down the street ahead.

Tightening the delivery bag on his back, Zhou Tianyi's feet hit the concrete with an explosive bang, and he accelerated again.

Although dealing with Zhang Yu was important, his client had purchased an on-time delivery guarantee, so he had to finish his deliveries before he could go find Zhang Yu.

Since Zhou Tianyi's potential was unleashed by the evil god, the faster he ran, the quicker his magic power flowed, the stronger his body became, and even the speed of his leg technique training would increase.

So, to cultivate while earning money, he ultimately chose to work as a food delivery driver, hiding his identity.

He remembered on his first day as a delivery driver, soup and liquids spilled everywhere in his bag. Not only was he scolded severely by customers, but the platform also deducted several hundred in fines.

After returning to the delivery station, the manager poured him a glass of water and told him to hold it while delivering. As long as the water didn't spill, the delivery would be fine.

From then on, he delivered more and more orders each day, and his platform rating also climbed.

He didn't know when it started, but Zhou Tianyi noticed that everything on the road seemed to move slower and slower. Later, when he asked the manager, he realized it wasn't that things were slowing down, but that he was getting faster.

If it weren't for hiding his strength, he was confident he could rank first in his grade in every monthly exam.

After completing his last delivery, Zhou Tianyi let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the money that had arrived in his account.

"Now... I can go find Zhang Yu."

Soon after, Zhou Tianyi arrived at the rental building where Zhang Yu lived.

He thought to himself, "According to Zhang Yu, he can't cultivate in his rented room, so he goes to a nearby unfinished building to practice every day."

"So I just need to wait until he heads to the unfinished building before making my move."

As soon as he returned to his rented room.

Zhang Yu washed his face, then began to play with the Talisman Book in his hand, intending to thoroughly research its functions.

After all, although he had cast a Binding Talisman today, the whole process had been too rushed, and he had been busy with various things, leaving him no time to properly study the Talisman Book by himself.

He pressed his palm onto the Talisman Book, and as a surge of magic power flowed from his palm, his fingerprints, palm lines, and magic power were recognized.

A golden light flashed on the talisman, revealing a yellow background, like a piece of talisman paper. As long as Zhang Yu's fingertip gently glided across it, he could draw spells.

Then Zhang Yu gently raised his hand, and the Talisman Book floated up, hovering in front of his palm.

Zhang Yu waved his hand from side to side, and the Talisman Book floated back and forth with his hand, closely following his palm.

"This follow mode is quite useful. No need to hold it with my hand, I can just focus on drawing talismans."

He tapped his fingertip on the bottom of the Talisman Book, then gently dragged it upwards. The talisman paper background changed again, revealing lines of information.

Believer Name: Zhang YuRealm: Qi Cultivation StageOverall Faith Level: 1

Zhang Yu looked further down and saw the names and symbols of the Eight Divine Ministries, with their faith levels marked next to them.

Since Zhang Yu had never increased his faith level, his faith level in all Eight Divine Ministries was still the default Level 1 that came with the Talisman Book.

He randomly clicked on the uppermost department, the Ministry of All Beings, and the scene on the Talisman Book shifted to reveal a divine temple in the spirit world.

Beyond layers of red walls and golden tiles, celestial dragons danced and phoenixes circled. A great deity, shimmering with five-colored light, stood majestically in the hall, forming a Taoist hand seal. An aura of compassion emanated, and his slightly closed eyes seemed unable to bear the suffering of the world.

This was the first True God of the Ministry of All Beings, the Great God of All Born Beings.

And three options appeared on the Talisman Book.

1. Prostrate to the God2. Offerings to the God3. Consult the God

Below the "Consult the God" option, there was a hazy mist, seemingly hiding more options because Zhang Yu's faith level was insufficient.

Looking at these three options, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "What does 'Prostrate to the God' mean?"

He clicked it out of curiosity, and then a line of text appeared on the Talisman Book: The Great God of All Born Beings has felt your reverence.
