Chapter 270: Chapter 226 Jiang Cheng Worse than a Beast
Jiang Cheng purchased several large storage bags.

The winter vacation was more than half over, and there was still a month left before Lotus University started the new semester; the remaining time was his rare rest period.

During this time, he didn’t need to cultivate, study talismans, or worry about Miaodan Workshop’s affairs.

All day with nothing to do, as idle as Liu Qing.

However, Jiang Cheng didn’t like to bask in the sun, he was someone who couldn’t sit still.

Taking advantage of the rare rest period, Jiang Cheng planned to systematically sort through the Dayan Sect’s inventory of cultivation techniques.

Previously, in the abandoned factory, he and Gao Miao didn’t have much time and could only hurriedly record the Demon Sect techniques confiscated by the Tongtian Sect.

There was no time to categorize and organize them.

Now that he finally had time, he must start laying the groundwork for the Dayan Sect.

According to Jiang Cheng’s estimate, the “version benefits” brought by the Capital’s demon removal would at most last him until the peak of the Core Formation Stage.

If lucky, he might stretch it to Nascent Soul, but it was uncertain.

Because the Demonic Tao in the Capital didn’t have a Nascent Soul Stage leader.

After reaching the Core Formation Stage, Jiang Cheng had to consider “reshaping the version benefits,” which simply put, meant letting the Dayan Sect go to other places to take over territory discarded by the Demon Sect.

As long as the territory occupied by the Dayan Sect continued to expand, the disciples of the Dayan Sect would always be in the “version advantage period.”

Once the Dayan Sect developed to a later stage, Jiang Cheng could even establish a specialized team to take over territory.

The team would follow behind the Immortal Sect’s demon removal army, picking up territories left unclaimed by other Demon Sects after demon removal.

Dayan Sect: I reckon this is unwanted by others.

To welcome more new disciples, it was essential to improve the basic infrastructure of the Dayan Sect.

If you want disciples, first build pavilions.

The Scripture Pavilion was the foundation within the foundation; even Wuyue’s B-ranked academy—the Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy, had its own library.

One of the conditions for a Sword Cultivation Academy to be upgraded to A-rank was the assessment of the library’s collection size.

The importance of the Scripture Pavilion to a sect was evident from this.

Since Jiang Cheng wasn’t the only one idle around Jade Lake’s Ming’an, it was no surprise that Liu Qing, after several months, once again got the job of sorting through cultivation techniques.

Liu Qing needed to cooperate with Jiang Cheng to properly categorize the Demon Sect techniques he had collected and then store them in the large storage bags.

The entire process was tedious and boring, but Liu Qing felt incredibly fulfilled.

Because Jiang Cheng only let her work for eight hours, he would get up early in the morning and go out with her to buy breakfast, at noon they would make food at home, and in the evenings they mostly ate out, following it with a stroll along the edge of Jade Lake.

For several days in a row, every day was the same.

Although the process was always repetitive, Liu Qing didn’t find it boring at all.

Being with Jiang Cheng, even if he casually said a word, was much more interesting than her staying on the balcony by herself.

But the good times always come to an end; that day, while Jiang Cheng continued categorizing the cultivation techniques, he unexpectedly received a communication talisman from a familiar stranger.

Zeng Shi’an: “Jiang Cheng, do you still remember who I am?”

Jiang Cheng: “President Zeng?”

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng remembered him, Zeng Shi’an felt that Jiang Cheng was a rather decent person.

“I didn’t expect you to still remember this old man.”

“President Zeng, I heard you were criticized in an announcement within your door.”

Zeng Shi’an’s heart raced: Damn it, why does everyone have to mention this? Is the Plant Autonomy Talisman matter not going to go away?

“Let’s not talk about that matter for now, are you free recently?”

Jiang Cheng glanced at the cultivation techniques scattered all around the floor and said, “I shouldn’t be.”

“Hmm, then I’ll come to find you personally.”

“What if I am free?”

“Then you come to find me.”

Jiang Cheng decided it was better to have time, so he wouldn’t trouble President Zeng to come looking for him with a big commotion.

“I’ll go down to the Linlan Sect’s Talisman Master Association, I should be back soon,” Jiang Cheng told Liu Qing.

“Oh.”

Seeing Liu Qing acknowledge, Jiang Cheng quickly tidied up and immediately left, his actions swift and decisive.

Once Jiang Cheng left, only Liu Qing was left in the room.

She, who was originally enthusiastic about organizing the cultivation techniques, suddenly didn’t want to do it anymore.

Now she only wanted to lie down and bask in the sun.

But, it was working hours.

However, Jiang Cheng had also said that even during working hours, she could rest whenever she wanted.

After thinking about it, Liu Qing decided it was better to ask Jiang Cheng first.

She activated the communication talisman.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Cheng’s voice came through.

“Tired.”

“Ah? If you’re tired, then rest, rest immediately, don’t do any more work! Did you hear me?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Is that all then?”

Liu Qing didn’t speak, and Jiang Cheng didn’t dare to hang up.

Who would dare to hang up on a Mahayana cultivator’s communication talisman?

What if he got locked outside?

Without a word from either of them, they maintained the connection until Jiang Cheng entered the Linlan Sect’s Talisman Master Association.

The various sounds from the Talisman Master Association constantly filtered through the communication talisman.

Then, Jiang Cheng had to speak, “I’ve arrived at the place. Can I hang up now?”

“Uh-huh.”

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and successfully disconnected the communication talisman.

He felt Liu Qing did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.

Jiang Cheng expected Zeng Shi’an to wait for him, but he didn’t expect, besides Zeng Shi’an, several other cultivators were also waiting for him in the president’s office.

Liang Qing, Gu Dongsheng, Gan Zhong.

Jiang Cheng recognized Liang Qing at a glance.

He wasn’t originally concerned about the prince, but ever since he made talismans for Liang Hong, he made a point of remembering the appearances of the main royal disciples.

Liang Qing was quite enthusiastic; as soon as he saw Jiang Cheng, he didn’t waste any words, “You’re Jiang Cheng, right? I’d like to ask you to draw a talisman.”

Jiang Cheng immediately stepped back and said, “Excuse me.”

“Young friend Jiang, wait!”

Gu Dongsheng flashed to Jiang Cheng’s side and pulled him into the office.

The speed of Gu Dongsheng’s movement was so fast that Jiang Cheng was unaware, almost instantaneously completed.
