Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Overreaction causes Embarassement

"I would like to submit my Talisman Diagram to the library here…" Fu Xian walked up to the desk and told the receptionist on the other side, his voice a bit short.

Reason told him it was the right move, but he couldn't just give it away without feeling bad…

The receptionist looked a bit surprised and didn't seem to care about his sound "A Talisman Diagram? A new one? Sir, we are very willing to take this and publish it into the library achieves… it's just, this Diagram has to truly be an original one."

Fu Xian became a bit angry when he heard this "Hmph, you think I would give you a fake one? One I bought or something? Are you really so stupid or do you think it's me who is stupid?!"

"No, no, Sir, I-" the receptionist tried explaining, his breath shortening.

Behind him, in just a moment, another aura expanded and pulled him away.

A middle-aged man stepped forward and said "Sir, please don't blame the junior, he was just…"

Just as the man was explaining, he felt an even stronger aura.

In his vision, a huge talisman rose – three colours of Emerald Green, Azure Blue and Ethereal Violet were depicted on the talisman –

First, the man felt a strong vitality entering his body, but the next instant, the vitality drained, taking with it the previous vitality, like a waterfall taking a whole forest with it. The next second, he felt as if the waterfall was about to enter a river.

Just as he was a few centimetres away from entering the river, suddenly, his vision blurred again..

He broke out in cold sweat, his back drenched –

This time, once again, an aura expanded from behind.

It was white and black, like ink on paper, calm and pure, seemingly simplicity incarnate, but at the same time, there was also a depth to it, as if these black lines could depict worlds and universes.

"Please calm down, dear Immortal City Citizen…" a soft voice came from behind. It was an older man this time, dressed like a scholar with a brush hanging from his waist.

His aura, extremely calm and pure, pushed away the talisman.

"Hmph" Fu Xian scoffed, not caring about causing a commotion.

To be honest, at first he was a bit emotional so he reacted a bit stronger, causing his aura to expand slightly. After all, he had just advanced!

Before he was in a cave the whole day, even after cultivating and stabilising his aura, he hadn't calmed down his temperament.

When he studied the spell and attempted to draw the talisman. Although he was successful, he once again saw the difficulty of making a talisman diagram, and the many years he put into creating this one…

Now the irritability from advancing combined with the unwillingness to submit his talisman diagram caused him to react slightly.

If it was only this, he would've retracted his own aura in just a few seconds and only scared the receptionist a bit, nothing special.

Who knew, before he could retract his aura, another aura attempted to suppress his!

That's right – not just defend the receptionist, it even wanted to suppress his own aura!

Heh, how could he accept this?

He grew up as a rogue cultivator, do you really think that, just because he is a talisman cultivator, he didn't have his share of murder, robbery and arson?

Drawing talisman is very expensive…

If it wasn't for his long experience, how could he react so indifferent to Teigu's plan? To him, watching Teigu was just like watching his younger self!

"Apologise!" the voice of the older man cut through –

Just as the middle-aged man thought he would get retribution, he was suddenly slapped!

"I said you should apologise!"

A shocked expression appeared on the middle-aged man "But, manage, he-"

*SLAP*

"You, just because you got a bit successful and entered the library, you think you're above the citizen of the city?!" the older man became stern.

He instantly slapped him a third time, directly knocking him unconscious, even sending him out of the reception, to the back!

Fu Xian could also see that the first slap was just to satisfy him, the second was really because the old man was annoyed at this guy's arrogance, and the third slap was strong and even caused a few bones to fracture, but in fact, it also saved this guy from being punished by Fu Xian himself.

Even though he understood this, Fu Xian didn't continue.

After all, to be honest, this issue started with him. He really made a mistake, it was just that this guy overdid things and turned a small mistake into "bullying the weak".

"Haha, manager, I too was at fault. It's fine, let's not speak about this.

Like I said, I would like to submit my talisman diagram to the library."

The old man, when he heard Fu Xian dropping the issue, was very happy.

In just this short moment, he realised a few things. This young man in front of him was talented, a talisman cultivator, and his Innate Aspect was of an extremely high quality – the previous little fight was about a combat between innate aspects.

Although the middle-aged man was actually more accomplished in the origin light stage than Fu Xian, because his innate light was of a lower quality, he was easily defeated.

He himself also felt that his own calming innate aspect could only compete because it was already refined once when he advanced to the middle-stage of origin light.

And this "compete" was actually a one-sided loss, merely stopping him.

'How high is his innate aspect?!' the old man thought 'Talisman, talisman… no wonder, he must be a specially trained citizen by the city. He has the aura of a newly advanced but is already a citizen – this must be one of those special entries.

Hmph, I didn't know what got into his brain to offend a young talented man like him!'

Although he was angry, he didn't waste more words and nodded to Fu Xian "Please give me the talisman diagram!"
