Chapter 28: The Five-Lightning Banishment Talisman!
Li Yanchu quickly became proficient in the art of Telekinetic Retrieval. It was his first time encountering such a mysterious and wondrous spell, and he was thoroughly thrilled by it.
Silently, he recited in his heart, Come!
With a soft command, A translucent, finely crafted jade pendant appeared in his hand. It was the very pendant the innkeeper of the Taiping Inn often wore. If this spell were used by thieves or rogues in the jianghu, it would be utterly unstoppable.
When Li Yanchu walked into the Taiping Inn holding the jade pendant, the innkeeper was in the middle of a full-blown tantrum over her missing treasure. Hands on her hips, her beautiful almond eyes were wide with fury as she let loose a stream of colorful curses.
Just then, Li Yanchu silently stepped forward and handed her the jade pendant. “Ma’am, were you looking for this?”
She was stunned for a moment, then snatched it up with joy, hugging it tightly to her chest. “Where did you find it?”
Li Yanchu replied, “Earlier, I was casting divinations at the temple and foresaw that you were at risk of losing something dear to you today. So I drew another lot, then headed into the courtyard and managed to retrieve it for you.”
Hearing this, the innkeeper was touched. She hadn’t expected that even while secluded in his Daoist temple, Li Yanchu would be thinking of her. With that, her lovely eyes brimmed with tenderness and affection.
The inn’s workers and servers let out sighs of relief. Daoist Master Yanchu truly was a living immortal. Had it not been for him today, who knew how long the innkeeper would’ve kept raging?
Still, Li Yanchu remained completely calm and composed.
During this period, Li Yanchu’s days had been relatively peaceful. Aside from cultivating Daoist arts, he spent his time practicing martial techniques.
