Chapter 449: Chapter 249: The Training Plan for the Shikigami Snow Woman_1
Lin Xun closed the Apostle forum webpage, feeling somewhat at a loss.
The prices for the materials needed to craft talismans varied, for example, the Inferno talisman necessary for unleashing the ’Black Fireball Technique’ was quite cheap, costing just over three thousand spirit points to make.
However, the talismans to strengthen the Shikigami like ’United Strength’ and ’Condensed Mire Nirvana’ were a bit more expensive—it cost over five thousand and ten thousand spirit points respectively.
Considering their powerful skill effects, such costs seemed acceptable.
The most expensive crafting materials were for the ’Guardian of the Ten Directions’ Absolute Realm’ talisman, which totalled almost fifty thousand spirit points.
Lin Xun couldn’t help but sigh. This wasn’t so much about deploying defensive techniques as it was about splurging money.
With his fortune of a million, using a skill worth fifty thousand even once would greatly hurt him, let alone for the average Apostle.
As he was grumbling about the exorbitant money-consuming trait of the Yin Yang Masters, a thought suddenly struck him.
"If the talismans crafted by a Yin Yang Master could be used by others, then this profession might not be as wasteful as I imagined."
"Moreover, it might not only save money, but even make a living!"
If talismans could be traded for money, then this would be an appropriate secondary occupation for earning a living!
Lin Xun desperately wanted to make a talisman right away to test his theory, but he didn’t have the necessary materials at hand and could only wait until he returned to the Library to try.
"Now, it’s time to get back to business!""
He opened his inventory and clicked on ’Snow Woman’s Suppressing Order’.
[Do you want to use ’Snow Woman’s Suppressing Order’?]
[Please note that the monster within the token has not yet been subdued. After its release, there is a great chance that it will attack you or run away...]
Lin Xun pondered for a moment, then chose to switch Shells.
[You have taken possession of the ’Primordial Hermit of Wisdom’s’ Shell!]
[You take out the ’Snow Woman’s Suppressing Order’, releasing the monster inside...]
[The suppressing order glows with a fluctuating light, and a snow-white figure appears before you.]
[’Snow Woman of the Mountain Genesis’ is a beautiful young woman, her ice-blue hair is soft and shiny, and her pure white kimono outlines her curvaceous body.]
[Under the guise of the prestigious identity of ’Dragon God Descendants’, you only wait for the ’Snow Woman’ to kneel and submit without a fight.]
[Never would you have anticipated for the ’Snow Woman’ to wrinkle her brows, take a scornful look at you, and ask disdainfully, "Where is your master? Where did this ugly Shikigami come from?"]
[She looks around, but does not see any Yin Yang Master coming to subdue her.]
[The ’Snow Woman of Mountain Genesis’ is overjoyed and promptly tries to run away...]
A corner of Lin Xun’s mouth twitched.
This monster is all hair and no wit. It doesn’t even recognize the noble Dragon God’s Descendant. It’s appropriate for it to be captured and used as a Shikigami.
If he had known, he would have released this monster back in the Dragon Pond Temple. Perhaps then, he wouldn’t even need to discipline it, and the Snow Woman would behave obediently on her own.
[You swing your chain weapon, the chain of bones and flesh detaches, shooting straight towards the escaping ’Snow Woman’...]
[Just as the chain is about to wrap around the ’Snow Woman’, she looks back at you with a contemptuous smile, her body turns into frosty snow mist, leaving the chain to bind nothing but air.]
[She reverts to her human form and continues to escape, getting further and further from you, on the verge of disappearing from sight...]
"Are you going to escape?"
Lin Xun decisively switched to the old Shell and threw his ’Pleasure Smoke Vision’ towards her.
[The ’Snow Woman’s’ body suddenly becomes rigid. Her inertia causes her to fall face first to the ground, rolling several times.]
[You stride over to the ’Snow Woman’, only to see that her white kimono is now covered in a fair bit of dust, and the Snow Woman’s cheeks are flushed red as she compulsively rolls her eyes.]
[The Snow Woman does not have the strength to resist. This is a great opportunity to subdue her!]
Lin Xun decisively switched to the Palace Master Shell to start the subduing process.
The first step in subduing a Yōkai is to defeat it, causing it to lose its ability to resist.
Then, use a Pokeball, no, rather a Suppressing Object to subdue the Yōkai...
The final step is to cast the ’Imperial Evil Suppression’, erasing the monster’s consciousness, turning it into a Shikigami.
Under the effect of ’Pleasure Smoke Vision’, the Snow Woman was unable to resist, hence she was considered to have achieved the first step.
Lin Xun clicks on the ’Crude Killing Stone’ in his pocket and starts the process of subduing.
[You used the ’Crude Killing Stone’ (Epic item)!]
[Countless small blood threads gather on the surface of the ’Crude Killing Stone’, emitting a dazzling blood light and enveloping the Snow Woman.]
[Then, the blood light begins to recede, bringing the ’Snow Woman’ into the Killing Stone.]
[Subjugation judgement in progress...]
[...]
[The artifact’s tier matches the Snow Woman’s quality, judgement successful!]
[The Killing Stone trembles violently, as if the imprisoned Snow Woman is struggling against it. But soon, the stone settles, and its surface glows.]
[You have successfully subdued the ’Snow Woman of Mountain Genesis’!]
[You hold the Exorcising Rosary, forming a seal and chanting: "Submit! Universal Diamond! Suppress Demonic Obstacles! Bind Ghosts and Subdue Monsters! May all evils enter Gou! All is pure!"]
[’Yin Yang Technique·Imperial Evil Suppression’ activated!]
[Countless golden scripture-like tadpoles appear from nowhere, rushing towards the Killing Stone...]
[In the dark, you hear the Snow Woman’s shrill scream, gradually, the scream weakens until silence reigns.]
[Your powerful soul seems to be blended with a peculiar soul, forming a bond.]
[Do you wish to erase the Snow Woman’s consciousness, so that you may control it later?]
The enslavement force between the Yin Yang Master and its Shikigami is not particularly strong, and there are essentially two rules: the Shikigami cannot harm its master, and if the master dies, then the Shikigami also dies.
