Chapter 693: Generosity
Yang Haoran's emotions were stirred by the spirits before him. As his mood was stirred, the spirits present were even more deeply affected emotionally!
The spirits present had undergone some changes compared to before. Previously, their expressions were stern, and their eyes showed no emotion except for a chilling murderous intent.
Now, although their faces remained solemn, their eyes gleamed with excitement and exhilaration.
What Yang Haoran desired was a sharp sword for killing, but this sword was not to be used against himself. It was to be wielded against his enemies, and it absolutely had to remain under his command.
Therefore, to achieve this goal, certain methods had to be employed. However, his words at this moment were not deceptive; they came from the heart. And precisely because they were heartfelt, the spirits present could feel his sincerity.
“Excellent! With effort from both sides, a brilliant future certainly awaits us! ”
The spirits' response was satisfactory, filling Yang Haoran with contentment, and a smile returned to his face.
As his words fell, Yang Haoran suddenly waved his hand, and streaks of talismans were retrieved from his personal space, hovering in the air before him.
“These talismans are called Ground-Escaping Talismans. They are talismans that have been lost to the Talisman Order in this era. Each of you take one; you can use it to save your lives when you encounter danger. These talismans were not easy for me to acquire, not even my Night Watchers possess them. I hope you will use them carefully. Remember, I said ‘use carefully,’ not ‘don’t use. ’ You must use them when danger arises; never be reluctant, because in my eyes, your lives are far more valuable than a single Ground-Escaping Talisman. ”
The talismans Yang Haoran had taken out at this moment were indeed Ground-Escaping Talismans. He had drawn these Ground-Escaping Talismans himself recently. Although the success rate was still not high, it was much better than when he first drew them, so he had spent some time, drawing a batch of them in one go.
Without any visible action from Yang Haoran, the Ground-Escaping Talismans floating before him flew towards the spirits present. In the blink of an eye, a Ground-Escaping Talisman was hovering before every spirit, including Tang Shi.
The spirits present were all very disciplined. Even with the Ground-Escaping Talismans floating directly before them, none of them so much as glanced at the talismans, nor did anyone reach out to take them.
Yang Haoran knew they had their rules, and these rules were naturally taught by Tang Shi. He felt it best not to break these rules, as it would be to his detriment. Thus, he did not demand that the spirits immediately put away the Ground-Escaping Talismans, but rather allowed them to continue hovering before them.
With another wave of his hand, more items materialized before Yang Haoran: yellowed books, pristine booklets, thin sheets of paper, and even animal skins.
These items all contained records of Spiritual Arts; Yang Haoran's entire collection of Spiritual Arts was present here.
“Here are numerous Spiritual Arts, and some even include Spiritualist Secret Arts. Today, I’m entrusting all of them to Tang Shi. You may freely choose the Spiritual Arts and Spiritualist Secret Arts you wish to cultivate. ”
As Yang Haoran spoke these words, the spirits, though motionless, experienced even more intense emotional fluctuations. Tang Shi was no exception. None of them had expected Yang Haoran to be so generous.
For spirits in the mortal realm, the possibility of learning Ghost Arts was exceedingly low. They simply had no channels for it. Under normal circumstances, an Underworld Official would never impart Ghost Arts to spirits. Without an Underworld Official’s instruction, learning Ghost Arts could only rely on luck, but such luck rarely appeared, and not every spirit would encounter it.
Tang Shi and these spirits were different because Yang Haoran fostered them. Initially, Yang Haoran had even gone to the Underworld to bring back a Ghost Art that could seal their own power fluctuations.
Aside from this Ghost Art, they had not cultivated any other Ghost Arts.
As for Spiritual Arts, Yang Haoran had not previously provided the ones he acquired for them to cultivate, and they themselves possessed no formidable Spiritual Arts, Tang Shi included.
Among Tang Shi's spirits, some had once been Guardian Spirits to Spirit Masters. At that time, while following their respective masters, they had not learned powerful Spiritual Arts; at best, they knew only simple ones or those with little offensive power.
Although their combat strength would certainly receive a significant boost after cultivating Spiritual Arts, on the surface, this would only benefit their masters and cause no harm.
However, not all Spirit Mediums thought this way. In the eyes of some Spirit Mediums, if a Guardian Spirit also mastered powerful Spiritual Arts, it would pose a threat to their own status, and there was even a chance of the spirit devouring its master.
Therefore, these types of Spirit Mediums would not allow their Guardian Spirits to cultivate overly powerful Spiritual Arts, as they did not wish to see their Guardian Spirits surpass them in ability. With powerful Spiritual Arts under their own control, they could better resolve issues should their Guardian Spirits show signs of devouring their masters.
Moreover, there was another crucial point: ordinary Spiritual Arts were one thing, but powerful Spiritual Arts or Spiritualist Secret Arts were not easily obtained. This was because Spirit Mediums who possessed such Spiritual Arts or Spiritualist Secret Arts would, nine times out of ten, regard them as supreme treasures and would not readily impart them to outsiders.
Thus, if one didn't possess a certain degree of luck, they simply couldn't acquire powerful Spiritual Arts or Spiritualist Secret Arts. Some Spirit Mediums, even if they wished for their Guardian Spirits to cultivate such powerful Spiritual Arts or Spiritualist Secret Arts, were unable to, because they themselves had no access to learn them.
Of course, not all Spirit Mediums were so wary of their Guardian Spirits. Many Spirit Mediums held absolute trust in their Guardian Spirits and were willing to share the Spiritual Arts they obtained.
However, Tang Shi and his group had not encountered such masters. None of them had ever acquired powerful Spiritual Arts from their previous masters. This lack of trust was perhaps one of the reasons they decided to devour their masters in the first place.
Tang Shi had wanted to enhance the combat strength of these spirits under his command and had previously considered using Ghost Arts and Spiritual Arts, as this method was the most direct and yielded the most obvious results.
However, after much deliberation, he ultimately abandoned this idea. He worried that Yang Haoran would find his request excessive. After all, Yang Haoran had entrusted this squad to him, but he hadn't yet led these spirits in accomplishing any earth-shattering feats. Making such a demand would make him seem ungracious, especially since Yang Haoran had already been quite good to them.
After much thought, he decided to enhance the spirits' overall combat strength through combat training. He believed that once their squad truly accomplished something significant and proved their worth to Yang Haoran, with Yang Haoran's intelligence, even without his asking, Yang Haoran would proactively provide Ghost Arts or Spiritual Arts for them to cultivate.
What Tang Shi hadn't anticipated, however, was that this day would arrive even before they had achieved anything major. Yang Haoran had not only brought them Spiritual Arts but also a substantial number of them, including Spiritualist Secret Arts. How could this not thrill them!
“In the future, I will also find ways to procure some Ghost Arts for you. However, don't bite off more than you can chew. After all, your powers haven't undergone a qualitative transformation. Cultivating some simpler Spiritual Arts or Ghost Arts won't be an issue, but powerful Spiritual Arts and Ghost Arts will be very difficult for you to cultivate. You might even find yourselves unable to succeed for a very long time. I hope you are mentally prepared for this. ”
After giving these spirits a reminder, Yang Haoran turned his gaze to Tang Shi.
“Copy all the Spiritual Arts and Spiritualist Secret Arts here. I’ll come back for them in a couple of days. As for everything else here, it’s in your hands. ”
Tang Shi bowed in acknowledgment, his attitude respectful. Yang Haoran, with the spirits seeing him off, departed the Ghost Cave and hurried back to the villa.
The reason he asked Tang Shi to copy all the Spiritual Arts and Spiritualist Secret Arts was because he had Xiujuan in mind. Since he was having Tang Shi and the others cultivate Spiritual Arts, he might as well let Xiujuan try as well. As for whether Xiujuan possessed talent in this area and could succeed in cultivating, that would simply depend on her fortune.
