The night was as dark as ink and the moon hung high in the sky.
Inside the forest, Ling Xian had a smile on his lips, expressing his desire to end things here.
Naturally, no one had any objections to this and they didn't dare to.
The second rule of the Hidden Pavilion was to follow all orders from the Supreme Leader and not disobey.
"Go. Whatever you did before, you will do now. There is no need to change."
Ling Xian grinned and looked at them, "If I need anything, I will summon you."
Hearing this, they paid their respect to Ling Xian. Then, they made their moves and left.
In the blink of an eye, only the nameless elder and Ling Xian remained.
"Leader, if I may ask, is the previous Supreme Leader … dead?"
The nameless elder's expression was calm and his tone was calm. However, his trembling hands revealed how nervous he was.
"That's right." Ling Xian said after a moment of silence.
Hearing this, the nameless elder's body quivered and he silenced.
He and the previous Supreme Leader were old friends. Though they were more than one generation apart, they worked together and it was hard for them to not have feelings for each other.
Now that he heard that the previous Supreme Leader had fallen, he was naturally shocked and sad.
At this, Ling Xian softly sighed, "My condolences."
Then, in a flash, he headed towards the Pavilion of Dao.
He had met the members of the Hidden Pavilion and confirmed his identity as the Supreme Leader. From now on, in name and in reality, he was the leader of the Hidden Pavilion!
His position was highly respected and was no less than Xiang Jiu Mengchen and the Leader of the Hidden Pavilion!
Therefore, the incident with the Hidden Pavilion was over. Next, it was time for him to report to Li Wuwei.
This person was a dual master of arrays and was extremely knowledgeable. In the entire Luo Yang City, he was the strongest grandmaster.
If he could become his assistant, he would definitely be able to learn many things and make his attainments in talisman arrays even more exquisite.
Therefore, when the Sun rose the next day, Ling Xian arrived at Li Wuwei's residence and began a peaceful yet busy life.
Peaceful meant there were no fights, no rushing around, and it was very peaceful.
This kind of life was something he hasn't experienced in a long time. Ever since he stepped into Tianzhou, he had been in a nervous state and was constantly facing the flames of war. He never relaxed.
Now that he had come to the Three Lives Pavilion and assumed the position of a Dao Pavilion guest elder, he naturally lived a rare and peaceful life.
However, this calmness made him complain incessantly.
Because he was busy, very busy.
Now, Ling Xian finally understood why so many people chose to give up the opportunity to learn from a Grandmaster of Arrays and Alchemy. Some even ran away with their tails between their legs.
He also understood why Ning Yan kept signaling him not to agree to Li Wuwei's request.
The reason was that this old man was too abnormal!
The moment Ling Xian stepped into Li Wu Wei's palace, this old man had been telling him to draw the most basic of Talismans.
The number was a thousand a day.
It had to be said that this number was huge. Although it was only the most basic talisman, there was still a high chance of failure.
Even if it was a Talisman Dao Master, it was already extremely difficult for him to draw 800 talismans without sleep or rest every day. And this was under the condition that the success rate was high. If he was unlucky, he wouldn't even be able to draw 500 of them.
However, Li Wuwei set a limit of 1,000. This meant that not only did he have to work without rest, but he also had to maintain a high success rate.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete it.
In the beginning, Ling Xian didn't complain. Even though he was very knowledgeable and had reached the level of a master, he had never drawn a single Talisman before.
Therefore, he gladly accepted the task and decided to use this opportunity to train his Talisman drawing skills.
Because of his deep knowledge and abundant spiritual energy, he was able to complete all the tasks Elder Li gave him.
But after a long time, Ling Xian was going crazy.
For one, Li Wuwei made him draw basic Talismans every day. For two, as time went on, the number of Talismans he drew increased from 1,000 to 2,000!
This number, without a doubt, was enormous. Even for someone as powerful as him, he felt helpless.
Therefore, he couldn't take it anymore and went to reason with Elder Li.
"Ruler, this number is too much. I cannot complete it."
Looking at the sloppy old man, Ling Xian said, "Plus, I am here to stay by your side and learn some Talismans. I am not here to draw basic Talismans for you."
"What's wrong with basic Talismans?"
Elder Li glared at him, "Do you know that everything starts with the basics? If you don't even have a solid foundation, how can you learn more?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian was speechless.
Building a solid foundation was something he understood the day he stepped onto the path of cultivation. Or else he wouldn't have sworn to reach the undefeatable realm even if he died.
However, in the past half a month, he had drawn no less than 20,000 Talismans. His foundation couldn't get any more solid. Even if he continued, he wouldn't be able to strengthen his foundation.
Because he had already reached the pinnacle.
Therefore, Ling Xian was patient and said in a pleasant tone, "Ruler, I think I am good enough. I don't need to continue drawing basic Talismans."
"Hmmph, what do you know?"
Old Man Li blew his beard and glared at him. He said, "I can see that you have the attainments of a Talisman Dao Master, but you have no experience in drawing talismans. I asked you to draw basic talismans for your own good, understand?"
Ling Xian suppressed the impatience he felt and said gently, "But I have reached my limit. Continuing to draw is a waste of time."
"What do you mean a waste of time?"
Elder Li exploded, "I don't care. Hurry up and draw basic Talismans for me! Don't forget, I am the ruler! "
Hearing this, Ling Xian couldn't hold it in any longer. He scolded him.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just finding free labor. You say it's for my own good. But in reality? You want me to draw Talismans for you so you can relax! "
Hearing this, Li Wu Wei's face turned red and he chuckled, "Hehe, you know everything."
"No sh * t. I'm not an idiot. Do you think I don't know what you're trying to do?"
Ling Xian glared at Elder Li. After half a month of working together, he more or less understood this person's personality. To put it bluntly, he was a little like an old child.
That was why he was scolding him to his face. He knew that this person wouldn't actually get angry.
"Ehem … ehem …"
Elder Li appeared awkward, "You are right, but I am asking you to build your foundation. At least your success rate is getting higher and the quality is getting better."
"That is true. But I don't need to build my foundation anymore."
Ling Xian glared at him, "If you ask me to draw basic Talismans again, don't blame me for quitting."
"Then unless you can draw a perfect Talisman. Or else it means you haven't built your foundation. Just be a good boy and continue drawing Talismans."
Elder Li chuckled. His face was full of arrogance. It was obvious that he didn't think Ling Xian could draw a perfect Talisman.
In the next second, however, his arrogance froze on his face.
Because Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve and threw 10 perfect Talismans at his face.
