Wang Changsheng's brows raised when he saw this scene. Aren't there too many disciples participating in the talisman crafting competition!?
"Eh?" Wang Changsheng suddenly exclaimed lightly, and his face lit up with joy as he walked forward with quick steps. [No pop-up window …]
"Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Zheng, what a coincidence!" Wang Changsheng walked to the center of a group and spoke to the two men that were in the middle of a conversation, and a light smile hung on his face.
"Eh, it's Brother Wang, you've come to register for the talisman crafting competition as well?" The person that spoke was a tall young man that wore a blue scholarly robe, and the young man's face revealed a delighted expression when he saw Wang Changsheng.
"Hehe, with Brother Wang's talisman crafting ability, it won't be so easy for us to obtain a good ranking this time." A short and fat man with a round face laughed slyly as he spoke.
Wang Changsheng laughed bitterly when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "If we're talking about talisman crafting, then I absolutely wouldn't dare display my slight skill before an expert like Senior Brother Zheng. Senior Brother Zheng is endlessly praised by Martial Uncle Li."
These two people were both talisman craftsmen of the Talisman Crafting Hall, and their talisman crafting ability wasn't inferior to Wang Changsheng. Especially the round faced man, he was skilled in drawing fire attribute talismans and was able to draw the Fire Prison Talisman that was formed from 72 fire attribute talisman markings. He could be considered to have a small reputation amongst the numerous talisman craftsmen of the Talisman Crafting Hall. Not only was the Blue Shirt Youth skilled in drawing earth attribute talismans, he'd cultivated his basic cultivation technique to the peak of the 13th level, and was only a step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Wang Changsheng was a sincere person, and coupled with him being willing to accept the suggestions of others with an open mind, he possessed an extremely high natural talent in the area of talismans. He quickly got along well with the two of them, and the three of them frequently exchanged talisman crafting techniques together.
The round faced man's face revealed a wisp of complacency when he heard Wang Changsheng. There were numerous talisman craftsmen in the Talisman Crafting Hall, and there were no more than 10 people that were able to obtain the praise of Martial Uncle Li, who managed the Talisman Crafting Hall. He and Wang Changsheng were precisely two of them.
The blue shirt youth at the side seemed to have thought of something, and he glanced around before sending a voice transmission to Wang Changsheng. "Brother Wang, I heard that the top 10 in the talisman crafting competition are able to obtain the personal guidance of Martial Uncle Fu in the art of talisman crafting."
Immortal Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this. He cupped his fists and said gratefully, "Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother Zhang. I will remember this."
This "Martial Uncle Fu" was a well-known talisman crafting genius. Not only was he proficient in drawing elementary talismans, he could even draw intermediate talismans. Of course, this Martial Uncle Fu was the center of attention because of his grandfather, the Enlightened Heavenly Talisman.
Before entering the Taiqing Palace, the Enlightened Heavenly Talisman was merely a poor scholar in the secular world who relied on selling paintings and calligraphy to make a living. When he was 50 years old, he was brought back to the Taiqing Palace by an elder of the Taiqing Palace and became a disciple of the Taiqing Palace. 50 years old was already the best age to enter the Foundation Establishment stage, so no one was optimistic about this new disciple. What made everyone's jaws drop was that the Enlightened Heavenly Talisman reached the Foundation Establishment stage before he was 100 years old, formed his Gold Core at 200 years old, and condensed his Yuanying at 500 years old, becoming the youngest Yuanying cultivator since the establishment of the Taiqing Palace.
Of course, what made the Enlightened Heavenly Talisman famous was that he once fought against two demonic cultivators of the same level by himself. Not only did he not fall into a disadvantageous position, he even killed one and seriously injured the other. Since then, the Enlightened Heavenly Talisman's name was known by everyone, and the Taiqing Palace also took this opportunity to sit firmly on the throne of the number one Righteous Faction.
The Enlightened Heavenly Talisman's fame spread far and wide, and as his descendant, Martial Uncle Fu, naturally attracted a lot of attention. Of course, Martial Uncle Fu's talent in talismans was also one of the reasons.
If he could receive Martial Uncle Fu's guidance, he would definitely benefit a lot.
After hearing this news, Wang Changsheng decided that he must enter the top 10.
The blue-robed man nodded and did not say anything.
The round-faced man also noticed the exchange between Senior Zhang and Wang Changsheng, but he did not say anything, as if he already knew about it.
Immortal Wang exchanged a few polite words with the two of them, and then he also stood behind a line, lining up to register.
After an hour, Wang Changsheng walked out of the Misty Palace with a faint smile on his face.
When he reached the mountainside, Wang Changsheng took out his flying magic tool and flew in a certain direction.
If he wanted to enter the top 10, he had to practice diligently, but before that, he had to pay a visit to Zhao Xiaoshan.
He and Zhao Xiaoshan were from the same hometown, and Zhao Xiaoshan helped him deliver a letter home, so he should pay him a visit.
An hour later, Immortal Wang landed in a narrow valley. He put away his flight magical artifact, and then began to walk towards the valley.
There were steep mountains on both sides of the valley, and there was only one road in and out of the valley. From time to time, people would come out of the valley, each with a face full of arrogance.
More than 90% of the alchemists in the Taiqing Palace came from the Divine Pill Faction, and very few people were willing to offend the disciples of the Divine Pill Faction. Even the most powerful disciples of the Thousand Sword Faction had to be polite when they met the disciples of the Divine Pill Faction. Over time, most of the disciples of the Divine Pill Faction became arrogant and looked down on everyone.
After walking out of the valley, a mountain that was hundreds of feet high appeared in front of Wang Changsheng.
The mountain was full of strange flowers and herbs, and the air was filled with a strong fragrance that made people feel refreshed. There were a lot of buildings on the mountain, and each building occupied a very large area. The buildings were all kinds of pavilions and palaces, and there were very few buildings like stone houses or thatched cottages.
A long bluestone staircase extended from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and then it forked into several branches and spread to the front of each building.
Wang Changsheng walked up the bluestone staircase, and his eyes would occasionally look at the strange flowers and herbs on both sides of the road. The disciples who came down from the mountain saw Wang Changsheng looking around, and their eyes were full of disdain.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng raised his eyebrows, withdrew his curious gaze, and walked forward.
The door of each building had a specific number, but the order was very confusing. Sometimes, the door opposite the first courtyard was number 15, and the door next to number 15 was number 23. So, one could only check the door numbers one by one. Wang Changsheng remembered that Zhao Xiaoshan lived in the thirty-seventh courtyard.
"Hey," Wang Changsheng suddenly stopped walking, and looked in the direction of Zhao Xiaoshan's gaze. In front of a magnificent mansion, more than ten disciples wearing Taiqing Palace costumes were gathered. These people gathered in groups of three or four, and their faces were full of expectation.
"Bang", the door opened automatically, and a colorful parrot flew out, and landed in front of the crowd.
Through the open door, one could see that the mansion was very spacious, and covered an area of hundreds of acres. It was full of all kinds of spiritual herbs, but everyone's eyes were focused on the colorful parrot.
The colorful parrot spoke in human language, "Senior Brother Song of the Thousand Swords Branch, Junior Brother Li of the Hundred Refinements Branch, and Junior Sister Zhang of the Mysterious Charm Branch, you three come in! The other people's bids are not enough, so come again next time! "After that, the colorful parrot flew back into the yard.
Hearing this, two men and a woman walked into the yard quickly, and their faces were full of joy. After the three people walked into the yard, the door closed automatically again.
"Hum, we waited for so long, but we didn't see him. Even if he is an alchemist, he is too arrogant!" A middle-aged man with a full beard said with some dissatisfaction.
"That's right, he is a new disciple. What's there to be proud of?" Someone echoed.
"What can we do? This Junior Brother Yue comes from a family of alchemists, and he is good at refining all kinds of elixirs for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. Several of his uncles are masters of the Divine Elixir Branch, so he is qualified to be arrogant. Let's come again next time!" A young disciple sighed, and then left.
Seeing this, the others left one after another, and their faces were full of disappointment.
After listening to their conversation, Wang Changsheng suddenly realized that these disciples were looking for the owner of this mansion to refine elixirs.
Generally speaking, elixirs for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage could be obtained by spending contribution points or spirit stones. Contribution points were too precious, and very few people were willing to use them to exchange for elixirs for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. It was not cheap to buy elixirs with spirit stones, so many people chose to find an alchemist to refine elixirs for them. This way, the cost was relatively low.
However, there was a certain risk in hiring an alchemist to refine elixirs. If the refining failed, the alchemist would not be responsible for compensation, but if the refining was successful, the alchemist would have to pay the alchemist a certain amount of remuneration. Therefore, they often looked for an experienced alchemist to refine elixirs.
Wang Changsheng had done this kind of thing before. A disciple needed a kind of wind attribute charm, and if he bought it on the market, the price was relatively high. Because Wang Changsheng was good at drawing this kind of charm, the disciple came to his door, and provided blank charm paper and wind spirit stones. If Wang Changsheng failed to draw the charm, he would not be compensated, but if the refining was successful, he would have a certain amount of remuneration.
At that time, Wang Changsheng earned 300 spirit stones.
Wang Changsheng shook his head, and threw away this strand of distracting thoughts. He looked around, looking for Zhao Xiaoshan's residence.
Not long after, Wang Changsheng found Zhao Xiaoshan's residence.
He took out a Sound Transmitting Talisman and whispered a few words. Then, he threw the Sound Transmitting Talisman into the air. The Sound Transmitting Talisman turned into a ball of flame and disappeared into the courtyard.
Wang Changsheng waited for a long time, but the door was still not opened. Zhao Xiaoshan did not seem to be at home.
