Chapter 280: Chapter 138: This Time It’s a Swindler (Part 11)_3

He Tiantian: ...I knew I didn’t need to worry, Dad would handle it perfectly.

Still, He Tiantian lingered for a moment on those talismans priced at 1999 and 2999, leaving a little mark on them.

The old ghosts floating around instantly got the point.

They looked around and swiftly drifted towards the pile of talismans.

In their eagerness to snatch them, they almost started fighting—not for some ghost talisman, but for the Yin Evil Pill which could solidify their soul bodies and increase their cultivation.

The group of old ghosts decided they would follow the people who bought these talismans and, when they faced danger, try to rescue them.

Then, they could bring back the talismans "turned to ashes" in exchange for more Yin Evil Pills.

Perhaps Miss He Tiantian, appreciating their wholehearted efforts, would give them a few more pills or even an "upgrade."

Miss He Tiantian: It’s not impossible.

He Tiantian’s principle was clear; as long as these old ghosts did not cheat and sincerely helped her real parents, she wasn’t stingy with a generous "reward!"

Seeing three or four old ghosts had chosen their "help" targets and were showing her flattering looks as if to say "Just watch us," He Tiantian finally felt safe to leave.

She didn’t leave the Taoist Temple but searched from the front hall to the back.

He Tiantian remembered clearly that in the original story, the original protagonist was eliminated by the male and female leads, and Guiyuan Temple was ruined.

While the female lead cleaned up the battlefield, she accidentally found a Talisman Collection among the debris.

Unlike the Talisman Collection He Qingfeng inherited from his master, the one the female lead found was the true legacy of Guiyuan Temple.

It contained not only various methods of talisman drawing but also an exclusive Cultivation Method of Guiyuan Temple—the Guiyuan Technique.

Only by cultivating the Guiyuan Technique and condensing Spiritual Energy inside the body, then infusing talismans with it, could the talismans exhibit their true effects.

As for He Qingfeng, he only knew how to draw the talismans and didn’t have the cultivation technique to empower them; his talismans were merely for show.

Having time-traveled through various novel worlds, He Tiantian, who had never even disrupted the official couple, would never steal the protagonist’s opportunities.

But this Talisman Collection was different; it originally belonged to Guiyuan Temple.

He Tiantian felt that as the legitimate heir, and since he had been reviving the Taoist Temple after rising to prominence,

sparing no expense on himself but saving money to gild statues and replenish the temple, absolutely qualified as diligent and responsible.

Since He Qingfeng was not an unworthy descendant, he deserved to possess the treasure of Guiyuan Temple.

Moreover, if possible, He Tiantian also hoped that her real dad would not be a swindler but could possess genuine knowledge and skills.

Her dad was smart and very diligent; just by seeing how adeptly he practiced the 149 Taoist talismans of Guiyuan Temple, she knew he would succeed if given the opportunity.

However, it seemed the Heavenly Dao consciousness of this novel world was not willing to give such an opportunity to He Qingfeng.

He Tiantian searched high and low, everywhere from the library to hidden rooms, nearly turning out rat holes, but still found nothing.

Refusing to be defeated, she sought out an old ghost who had lurked behind the mountains at the Taoist Temple for over two hundred years and carefully questioned him.

She discovered this old ghost knew everything about Guiyuan Temple, except for the Talisman Collection.

It made sense; as a legacy of Guiyuan Temple, it naturally required secrecy.

Probably only the temple master and heirs knew about it; a one-to-one inheritance was secure but also risked being lost.

Indeed, the Talisman Collection had been lost over a hundred years ago.

He Qingfeng’s grandmaster had some basic knowledge, but by his master’s generation, they were reduced to common Taoists.

He Qingfeng was the most absurd of all, turning into a swindler.

"Grandmaster, does the Heavenly Dao’s unfair treatment of Guiyuan Temple not bother you at all?"

After an unsuccessful search, He Tiantian finally came to the main hall, knelt respectfully on the cushion, and silently questioned the freshly adorned god statue in her heart.

God statue: ...I do care, but I’m just a residual soul now, how can I settle the score with the old dog Heavenly Dao?

But our Guiyuan Temple is not really doomed; after all, we have you as a little savior.

He Tiantian: ???

She had no interest in saving the temple; all she cared about were her real parents.

Unable to find the legacy of Guiyuan Temple, He Tiantian could only continue to stay behind the scenes, helping her parents maintain their personas as Enlightened masters and experts in Mysticism...
