Chapter 1116: Purification Talisman
Chapter 1116: Purification Talisman
October 1st, 2017
Youzhou, Lingzhi City, City Lord's Mansion.
Lu HaiKong stayed in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion for over a day. After breaking through his cultivation, he spent some time with Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong, though no one knew the topic of their conversation. In the end, Lu HaiKong left the hall alone.
Despite witnessing Lu HaiKong's breakthrough, which left them in awe, neither Cheng Yaojin nor Wei Chigong chose to surrender.
The reasons were complex, or perhaps not as complicated as they seemed. The process of subduing these two individuals proved to be more intricate than Lu HaiKong had anticipated.
Although Lu HaiKong left alone, he did not return empty-handed. He emerged with two tasks.
Purify Cheng Yaojin
Task Type: Special Purification Mission
Task Description: Find a way to purify the foreign demon, a special historical warrior named Cheng Yaojin, and transform him into a human.
Task Reward: ???
This was one of the two tasks Lu HaiKong received, the other being the purification of Wei Chigong.
Undoubtedly, these tasks were triggered after Lu HaiKong's martial strength breakthrough to 97, and they were clearly prerequisites for Lu HaiKong to subdue Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong. Only by purifying them could Lu HaiKong make them his followers.
After all, if Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong were not purified and turned into humans, they could only stay in the human world for three months at most, unless they broke through the 100-point barrier. Otherwise, their deaths were certain. Furthermore, the system would never allow Lu HaiKong to recruit two foreign demons as his subordinates.
So, when Lu HaiKong broke through and uttered those cheesy words again, Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong immediately helped him trigger these two tasks without hesitation.
From these tasks, it seemed that Lu HaiKong had made significant progress in subduing the two. At least, he now had two tasks to work with, and all that was left was to complete them.
However, things were not as simple as they seemed. Upon closer inspection, Lu HaiKong's so-called breakthrough had its limitations. While the system provided the tasks, it offered no hints on how to accomplish them.
Under these circumstances, Lu HaiKong anticipated a challenging road ahead to complete these tasks, possibly a protracted battle.
Aware of this, Lu HaiKong, after accepting the tasks and leaving the main hall, arranged for Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong to be sent back to Beifeng.
Firstly, Beifeng had the Heavenly Prison, a much safer place to hold the two compared to the City Lord's Mansion. Secondly, Lu HaiKong always felt that the foreign demon army was not as easy to deal with as it seemed, and he worried that keeping the two there might be inappropriate. After all, they possessed the ability to control Outsiders, and he did not want to leave two unstable factors by his side.
To ensure safety, Lu HaiKong gave his Grand Teleportation Token to Huang Zhong, asking him to use it to teleport Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong directly back to Beifeng. With Huang Zhong's involvement and the Grand Teleportation Token, Lu HaiKong was confident that nothing would go wrong.
Huang Zhong did not disappoint. With the help of the Grand Teleportation Token, he managed to send Cheng Yaojin and the others back to Beifeng in just one day.
As Cheng Yaojin was being sent back to Beifeng, Lu HaiKong received more good news. This news was none other than Zhang Yan's significant breakthrough in her research on Zombie Toxin.
Lu Haikong was overjoyed upon hearing the news and immediately dropped everything to rush to Zhang Yan's side.
Zhang Yan did not let Lu Haikong down, and as soon as he arrived, she presented him with the fruits of her research.
The moment Lu Haikong saw what Zhang Yan had given him, he instantly knew she had succeeded. It wasn't that his Divine Eye Technique had identified the item at a glance, but rather, as soon as he laid eyes on the Dao Talisman that Zhang Yan produced, a system notification appeared before him.
[Your mission 'Zombie Transformation Analysis' is complete. You have obtained a Mythic Chest.]
This system notification filled Lu Haikong with elation. His joy wasn't for the Mythic Chest but for the fact that the notification proved Zhang Yan's research was correct and successful. With this knowledge, Lu Haikong enthusiastically joined Zhang Yan in testing her findings.
Zhang Yan was a Taoist priestess who possessed the [Taiping Heavenly Book] and excelled in the use of Dao Talismans. Her research on zombie toxins focused on Dao Talismans, and her breakthrough was a special Dao Talisman called the [Purification Talisman].
[Purification Talisman]
Quality: Excellent
Talisman Description: A special Dao Talisman developed by Zhang Yan. It has remarkable effects in suppressing zombie toxins and purifying zombies.
These were the attributes of the Dao Talisman created by Zhang Yan. The attributes were simple, but after testing, Lu Haikong discovered that a single Purification Talisman could purify the zombie virus from two to three people. Its effectiveness in combat was extraordinary; when thrown, it could instantly bring down all zombies within a few square meters, an astonishing effect.

Of course, such remarkable results came at a cost. Creating this type of talisman was no easy task and required a high price. Each talisman had a production cost of at least several dozen gold, and with the losses incurred during the crafting process, a minimum of one hundred gold per talisman was necessary.
However, Lu Haikong needed more than just a few talismans; he required tens of thousands. It was evident that the investment in talismans would be astronomical.
At this point, Lu Haikong had no time to worry about such matters. After the success of the Purification Talisman, he immediately ordered Zhang Yan to send the production method to the rear and instructed her and the Dao Talisman workshop under his command to produce Purification Talismans without regard for cost.
As he issued this command, even Lu Haikong's heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.
Lu Haikong was well aware that as long as the rear could continuously supply Purification Talismans, the scales of this battle would tip in his favor, and he could start planning a counterattack.
Without the zombie virus, Lu Haikong was confident he could crush the foreign demon legion.
However, what Lu Haikong didn't anticipate was that while he prepared for a counterattack, on the other side, after several days of silence, the foreign demon legion, having bided their time, finally unleashed their ultimate move.
Lu Haikong's scouts brought news of an approaching zombie army numbering in the millions.
This zombie army was the same one that had effortlessly destroyed the shelter built by Zhao Yun and his companions. It was also the foundation of Du Rouhui's and the middle-aged scholar's last resort!
A battle beyond Lu Haikong's imagination was about to unfold in a situation he had never anticipated.
