Elder Qin pushed the door open and walked towards Lu Xuan. His face was brimming with joy.
"Lu Xuan, the Hall Master has invited you. The Hall Master is full of praise for your Berserk Talisman. He has a very high opinion of you and invites you to come over for a chat."
Since the Hall Master had appeared, how could Lu Xuan dare to decline? He still wanted to stay in the Demon Enchanting Hall for a period of time. If he offended the Hall Master now, there was no need for him to come.
"Since the Hall Master is so kind, I naturally dare not decline." Lu Xuan bowed and said. However, he had already made up his mind. He was only going to seek guidance from the Hall Master. No matter what the Hall Master said, he would not give up on the path of martial arts.
"Elder Qin, I will bring Lu Xuan over. You will be the host of this test. Humph, this bunch of brats have it easy," Elder Fang said.
"I will go too! I want to see how good the talisman he inscribed is, "Chen Xiaohan said angrily. She was obviously infuriated by Lu Xuan's dirty words.
Chen Xiaohan's position in the Demon Enchanting Hall was rather special. She was doted on by all the Elders. Participating in this test was just a formality. Elder Fang naturally would not stop her. She immediately took the lead and brought Lu Xuan and Chen Xiaohan to look for the Hall Master.
The commotion at the examiner's seat was quickly noticed by some of the dejected disciples who had just failed to inscribe. When they saw Elder Fang leaving and Elder Qin standing at the main examiner's seat, they were instantly overjoyed.
"Look, Elder Fang has left. Haha, heaven never bars one's way!"
"Eh, he really left. No, no, I have to quickly start again. I might be able to pass if I give it my all."
…
Elder Fang's sudden departure rekindled the hope of many disciples who were about to give up. Elder Qin was famous for being a good person with a gentle temper. As long as they could successfully inscribe the Demon Enchanting Scroll without any major mistakes, their chances of passing the test were extremely high!
In an instant, all the disciples were busy again. In their excitement, they even performed more outstandingly.
Under Elder Fang's lead, Lu Xuan exited the main hall. After passing through two corridors, he arrived in front of a quiet room.
Since he knew that the Hall Master was already waiting inside, Elder Fang did not inform him and directly pushed the door open. Stepping into the quiet room, Lu Xuan saw a middle-aged man with his hair combed into a bun, wearing a white robe. At this moment, he was bending over and carefully examining an enchantment scroll on the table. As expected, that should be the scroll that he had just inscribed.
Perhaps the sound of their footsteps had startled the middle-aged man. He immediately turned his gaze away from the scroll and looked at Lu Xuan and the others. He smiled and said, "Elder Fan, you're here too. I presume this must be Lu Xuan?"
Lu Xuan hurriedly took a step forward and bowed, "Disciple Lu Xuan greets the Hall Master."
The Hall Master laughed and waved his hand, "No need to be so courteous. Just now, I have read your enchantment scroll three times. Every time I look at it, I can't help but exclaim in surprise. I heard from Elder Qin that you have only come into contact with enchantment for a mere three months. May I know which senior you are learning from?"
The Hall Master asked the crucial question. For ordinary people, enchantment was not something that everyone could afford. Even if they were willing to spend money, they would still need someone to guide them.
Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then used the same method he used to trick Xia Chenxi, "Disciple met a senior by chance. That senior was wandering around and coincidentally came to this place. I don't know his name. He only taught this disciple enchanting techniques for three days before leaving."
The Hall Master slightly frowned. He originally wanted to ask Lu Xuan's master, but now it seemed that there was no way to find one. However, his frown immediately relaxed. This was not bad. If Lu Xuan had a master, it would be troublesome to get him to join the Enchantment Hall. Since he didn't have a master, there was no need to worry about this aspect.
The Hall Master immediately laughed and said, "This kind of opportunity really makes people envious. I presume that the senior must be an almighty martial artist. Seeing that your aptitude is not bad, he stopped and taught you the art of enchantment. However, since you only learned for three days, I presume that you don't have a systematic understanding of the cultivation system of an enchanter?"
Lu Xuan's heart moved. The cultivation system of an enchanter? Didn't an enchanter practice runes and then inscribe enchantment scrolls? What kind of cultivation system was there?
Although his imagination ran wild, he didn't dare to be negligent with his words, "Hall Master is wise. This disciple has indeed not studied it systematically. This time, I came to the Enchantment Hall to learn more about it."
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Chen Xiaohan, who was looking at the Berserk Scroll with interest, couldn't help but raise her head in astonishment, "It can't be? You don't even understand the cultivation system of an enchanter? No wonder you look down on the Enchantment Hall. Ignorant and inexperienced. "
Hearing this, Lu Xuan immediately felt resentful in his heart. Fine, I was ridiculed again. Women are indeed vengeful creatures. Didn't I just take a few more glances at you and make fun of your flat chest?
However, as soon as Chen Xiaohan finished speaking, the Hall Master scolded her, "Xiaohan, how could you say that? Do you think everyone is like you, with someone guiding you from a young age and enough materials for you to practice with? How can you be so proud of yourself? Lu Xuan was able to reach such a level in just three months. You should reflect on yourself and stop playing around in the future."
Naturally, Chen Xiaohan did not dare to refute her father's reprimand. She pretended that she did not hear anything and continued to study Lu Xuan's scroll. As she read, she could not help but nod to herself. While Lu Xuan was a little detestable, he did have some real skills. His usage of those runes could be said to be at the pinnacle of perfection. More importantly, she could tell that every rune that Lu Xuan placed, be it the position, the strength, or the concentration of the potion, was just right. It was hard to imagine that Lu Xuan was able to maintain such stability at a time when the enchantment was so intense that he could not afford to be distracted.
"Haha, this child has been disobedient since young. Lu Xuan, don't take it to heart. I heard that you rejected Elder Fang's invitation to join the Enchantment Hall, right?"
Lu Xuan was a little embarrassed when the hall master directly came to the point. It was as if he had been caught red-handed by his master. However, he did not deny it. He still had the courage to admit what he had done. Moreover, he would have to reject it later anyway.
"Although the art of enchantment is exquisite, your disciple's heart is on the path of martial arts. Therefore, it will be a little difficult for me to give up on martial arts and specialize in the study of enchantment." Lu Xuan repeated the words that he had used to reject Elder Fang.
Upon hearing this, the hall master did not show the slightest anger. Instead, he revealed a trace of a smile and said, "After hearing your words, I know that you really don't understand the cultivation system of an enchantment master. It is likely that you believe that an enchantment master only studies runes and inscribes scrolls, right?"
Lu Xuan was startled. "Could it be that I am not?"
"Of course not. If that is the case, how can an enchantment master ensure his own safety? Won't he have to rely on others for his entire life? If we do not have enough martial arts, do you think that our Enchantment Hall can maintain a transcendent position in the Wind Sword School and not be restricted by the inner sect? "Before the hall master could speak, Chen Xiaohan, who was beside him, spoke first.
This time, the hall master did not reprimand her for interrupting because this time, Chen Xiaohan was indeed right.
"Xiaohan is right. In that case, let me first talk about the school of enchantment. Ordinary low-level martial artists only know that an enchantment master can inscribe magic scrolls and enchant weapons and equipment. However, do you know that an enchantment master has another name, Spiritual Symbol Master?"
Upon hearing the hall master mention a new term at the end, a trace of doubt flashed across Lu Xuan's face. Spiritual Symbol Master? He had indeed never heard of it. However, this name sounded even more domineering than an enchantment master.
"I think you know that in our Enchantment Hall, an enchantment master is divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate, and advanced. However, there is another level above the advanced level, which is Spiritual Symbol Master!" The hall master's words made Lu Xuan suddenly see the light.
Previously, he was doubtful that he was able to become an Intermediate Enchanter with his current strength. How could the Art of Enchanting be on par with the Art of Refining and the Art of Alchemy? He didn't expect that above the Advanced Enchanter, there was actually a title of Spiritual Symbol Master!
As if knowing that Lu Xuan did not understand anything, the hall master continued to explain in detail the concept of a Spiritual Symbol Master to Lu Xuan: "A Spiritual Symbol Master is the evolved form of an enchantment master. If you want to become a Spiritual Symbol Master, you must first become an enchantment master. This is because you need to familiarize yourself with runes at the enchantment master stage and lay down a foundation. When you are able to smoothly inscribe high level enchantment runes, your basic skills will not be far from the advanced level. Only then will you be able to inscribe soul runes!"
"The attack power of us Spiritual Symbol Masters all comes from soul runes. Soul runes are different from enchantment runes. Enchantment runes need to be attached to weapons and equipment in order to be effective, but soul runes do not need to be. For example, this." Before the Hall Master could finish his sentence, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and made two strokes in the air. Then, he suddenly shook his hand, and a burst of fire suddenly exploded not far away from Lu Xuan. A scorching wave of air surged forward.
Lu Xuan's heart shivered as he hurriedly circulated his Yuan Power to resist the wave of air. Fortunately, the attack power of the wave of air was not strong. After all, it was casually released by the hall master and disappeared in a flash.
"Do you understand?" Withdrawing his right hand, the hall master once again looked towards Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded his head as if deep in thought. He finally understood why the Void Rune Engraving Technique existed in his mind. What the hall master had just used was shockingly the Void Rune Engraving Technique. He did not use any medium and merely instantly inscribed a rune in the air before exploding it.
However, what the hall master had just inscribed was not enchantment runes, but the soul runes that he had mentioned! A soul rune with attack power!
The hall master's voice rang out once again: "All the attack power of a Spiritual Symbol Master originates from soul runes. The stronger one's Spiritual Energy, or Mental Energy, is, the stronger the soul rune they can inscribe, and the faster they can inscribe. Moreover, the offensive methods of a Spiritual Symbol Master are not limited to temporarily inscribing a talisman, they can even turn a soul rune into a talisman. If activated in battle, there is basically no need for them to make a move. All they need to do is to throw out the soul rune they carry with them and they will be able to unleash a corresponding attack."
"Therefore, in reality, being an enchantment master, or in other words, a Spiritual Symbol Master, does not conflict with the martial arts that you are pursuing. Both are martial arts, except that martial artists cultivate Yuan Power, while Spiritual Symbol Masters cultivate the soul."
