After entering the fort, Zhuo Bufan realized that the interior of the fort was filled with people. It was already a sea of people.
The interior of the fortress was much bigger than what it looked like from the outside. Its foundation sunk below the surface of the water. From the ground to the dome, it was more than fifty meters high. It looked extremely majestic and solemn.
In each of the eight directions of the fortress, there was a statue that was more than ten meters tall. The people on the statue were very lifelike, as if they really existed in this era.
Some wore cloaks and held an open book. Some held an eight-trigram mirror and looked up at the blue dome of heaven. Some held an oil lamp and bent down to look for the way. Some held a crystal ball and looked for the true meaning of the ball …
Zhuo Bufan was puzzled by the peculiar behavior of these statues.
Below the eight statues, there were long queues. Obviously, they were at different places to sign up.
Chu Mubai saw this and said, "These eight fellows are the eight Temple Masters of the Temple of Charms. They each represent the pinnacle of the talismans in eight different fields. "
"Eight pinnacle?"
"Light Supreme, Force Supreme, Fire Supreme, Lightning Supreme, Sound Supreme, Soul Supreme, Universe Supreme, Eternity Supreme."
Chu Mubai described the eight pinnacle existences in this world. After Zhuo Bufan heard it, he was surprised.
"Light, Force, Heat, Electricity, Sound! Why does it sound like a classification of physics? "
He did not know if it was a coincidence, but Zhuo Bufan was indeed thinking in this direction.
He suddenly felt that this Temple of Charms was getting more and more interesting.
"Today is the day that the Temple of Charms is recruiting disciples. I have already used my connections to help you sign up. You just have to pay the money. "
Chu Mubai said to Zhuo Bufan with a smile. Looking at his arrogant smile, Zhuo Bufan felt that he might be tricked again.
"You helped me sign up? How did you know that I would come back? And how did you know that I would look for you after leaving the August Tower? You tricked me, didn't you! "
Zhuo Bufan questioned with a scrutinizing gaze.
When Chu Mubai heard this, he spread out his hands and said, "I guessed. Aren't you here? You have to know how to repay kindness, okay? "
"There are only twenty spots for Light Talisman apprentices every year. Look at how many people are there?"
Chu Mubai pointed to the queue opposite him. It was like a long dragon with hundreds of people lined up.
"No, there are only nineteen now. Look at how thoughtful I am for you! "
Zhuo Bufan looked at Chu Mubai and said.
"Why are you like my mother, arranging everything for me? And why do I have to learn Light Talisman? "
When he heard it, he said said, he patted Zhuo Bufan's head.
"Zhuo Bufan" Bufan's Charms. That's because the light talisman is the one that develops the fastest among the eight great talisman domains. "
"Once you go in, you'll know how much I've thought about you."
"Brother? You're the youngest, but you're still my uncle. "
Although Zhuo Bufan had some complaints, he decided to trust this old profiteer since Chu Mubai had arranged everything.
Then, he followed Chu Mubai down the long ladder and squeezed through the crowd.
"Make way, make way …"
Chu Mubai was like an old hooligan. Regardless of age, everyone in front of him was pushed to the side. Like a bull, he barged his way through the crowd of more than a hundred people and squeezed his way to the front.
The people around them all snorted in disdain at such people.
Zhuo Bufan also felt a little embarrassed. He raised his head and looked at the statue of the Light God in front of him, pretending not to know the man in front of him.
The statue of the Light God was an old man in a long robe.
His door was wide, his cheekbones protruded, and the outline of his face was slightly strange. His long hair was flowing, and his eyes were like torches as he stared deeply into the distance.
His eyes seemed to be shining with the light of wisdom. They were sharp, meticulous, and fascinating.
In his hand, he held up an Eight Trigrams Treasure Mirror. A beam of light was projected onto the treasure mirror from a small hole in the middle of the sky of the Talisman Fortress.
Then, the treasure mirror processed the beam of light and transmitted it to the back of the statue's head. It formed a halo that looked like the halo of a deity. It seemed especially sacred.
This was a very clever mechanism that made use of light. Zhuo Bufan was very surprised. He actually discovered the aura of science for the first time in this world.
That's right, it was science, not some arcane technique.
"Hey, kid, pay up. It's your turn. Pay up."
While Zhuo Bufan was deep in thought, Chu Mubai suddenly patted his cheek. He patted twice in a row. The second pat was obviously stronger than the first.
"You hit me?" Zhuo Bufan said with slight anger.
"Are you stupid? Pay up! "Chu Mubai pointed at the beautiful receptionist in front of him. She was in charge of the registration here.
"How much?" Zhuo Bufan asked.
Since he was here to learn, it was normal to pay. Therefore, Zhuo Bufan did not have too many doubts.
However, when the beautiful receptionist said a hundred thousand spirit stones, Zhuo Bufan was still dumbfounded.
"A hundred thousand spirit stones a year."
"What? A hundred thousand, and it's for a year. Why is it so expensive? " Zhuo Bufan calculated according to his own conversion method. A year of tuition was equivalent to a million yuan.
What kind of concept was this? It was a sky-high tuition fee!
After the beautiful receptionist heard this, she said very patiently, "Because you obtained the registration qualification through a special method, we will charge ten times the tuition fee."
"Ten times the tuition fee, which means that the normal tuition fee is only ten thousand? What a scam, I'm not learning. "
Zhuo Bufan only had a hundred thousand left in his storage ring.
Zhuo Bufan turned around to leave, but he was caught by Chu Mubai and pulled back.
"Kid, are you alright? It was not easy for me to get this place, do you know? "
"It's only a hundred thousand, and you're already heartbroken. Look at those guys behind you. They have two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, and even a million yuan. They're breaking their heads to enter the field of light talismans to learn. Do you know why?"
"What's the most profitable profession now? It's a talisman master. They can casually refine a talisman treasure and sell it for hundreds or thousands of times its value. "
"Do you know what's the most profitable profession among talisman masters? It's light talisman masters. When you learn the skills, you can casually refine a few high-level talisman treasures. At that time, you won't even care about a hundred thousand. "
It had to be said that the old profiteer was indeed treacherous and cunning. With just a few words, he actually managed to move Zhuo Bufan's heart.
Zhuo Bufan sincerely wanted to learn talisman techniques, so after weighing the pros and cons, he finally took out his last hundred thousand spirit stones.
After the beautiful receptionist received Zhuo Bufan's fee, she gave Zhuo Bufan a long bronze plate with the word "Lower" written on it.
Then she let Zhuo Bufan engrave his divine soul on it, and also registered Zhuo Bufan's name.
"Okay, congratulations on joining our Temple of Charms. From now on, you're our Temple of Charms, Light Talisman Hall, Low Bronze Apprentice. "
After hearing the beautiful receptionist's announcement, Zhuo Bufan held the bronze plate. Although he felt cheated, his face still revealed a trace of a smile.
"Hehe, miss, then what about my service fee?"
At this time, the old profiteer Chu Mubai suddenly leaned on the counter and raised his eyebrows at the beautiful receptionist.
"Ten thousand service fee, you will be paid. Go to the accounting room at the back to register! "The beautiful receptionist said.
"Ten thousand service fee? What's that? "
Zhuo Bufan suddenly looked at Chu Mubai. When Chu Mubai heard this, he immediately looked at the sky, indicating that he did not know anything.
"What service fee? Oh, oh, oh, didn't I help their Vice Fort Master solve a problem? It's that service fee. "
Zhuo Bufan narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Mubai with a scrutinizing gaze.
"You dragged me here to sign up. Is there still another 10,000 yuan worth of service fee?" He had basically guessed what the 10,000 yuan worth of service fee was about.
Chu Mubai rolled his eyes, shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Hehe!" Zhuo Bufan sneered.
"Let me tell you a story, do you want to hear it?"
"What story?" Chu Mubai looked at Zhuo Bufan with a confused face.
"In ancient times, there was a merchant who collected oranges, hemp, wheat, and animal skins from the lower reaches of the river. He then sold them from the upper reaches of the river. Halfway through the river, the oars were cut off. The boatman asked, "Can you do without oars? Do you have something to use as an oar?" The merchant said, "I have oranges, hemp, and wheat, but I don't know if I can use them as oars?"
