Noon was the hottest time of the day, and also the time when the Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi in the air was the most abundant. At this time, making Fire Attribute Spiritual Talismans could increase the success rate, which was also the reason why Daoist Bald Eagle chose to compete at noon.
In the middle of the trading plaza, there was an arena. For cultivators, doing this was as easy as lifting a finger. For high level cultivators, moving mountains and filling seas was as easy as waving their hands, let alone a small arena.
There were many cultivators gathered under the arena. Everyone had received the news that the owner of the Cloud Talisman Pavilion was going to compete with a little Qi Refining Cultivator in making Spiritual Talismans, so they all arrived on time to watch the excitement.
Not only the cultivators who came to trade, but even the cultivators from the Hundred Insect Stronghold were alarmed. Even the Hundred Insect Stronghold's Sect Head and a Core Formation Elder came out to watch. However, they did not stand under the arena, but sat on the side of the arena, watching from a close distance.
"What do you think about that little cultivator's chances of winning?" A cultivator asked a female cultivator next to him.
"I think … …" The female cultivator shook her head, indicating that she was not optimistic about Ye Kong.
The male cultivator also sighed, "This kid is really reckless. Daoist Bald Eagle is our barbarian race's number one Talisman Crafting Expert, how could he lose to a Spiritual Talisman like the Firebird Spell?"
Behind them stood the Yi Clan's Gao Yuanyang. Old man Gao faintly smiled, and said to himself behind them, "I don't think so."
Gao Yuanyang's voice was not loud, but it attracted the attention of several cultivators around him. Indeed, the disparity in this match was too big. Apart from Lian Ruolan, only Gao Yuanyang was optimistic about Ye Kong's victory.
Several cultivators looked at Gao Yuanyang, and then shook their heads, "I really don't see that little cultivator's chances of winning."
There was another cultivator who could not help but ask, "Old Brother, the match has not started, and the outcome has already been determined, why do you say that it's not possible?"
"The match has not started, how can the outcome be determined?" Gao Yuanyang said with a professional smile, "Don't underestimate that little cultivator, he often has unexpected performances."
Gao Yuanyang's words only stopped here, no matter how others tried to inquire, he just smiled and looked at the arena.
"I will now announce the rules of the competition." Suddenly, a cultivator stood on the stage. It was Master Insect Mastery. After attracting everyone's attention, he said: "Everyone prepare their own materials. Everyone has three chances. In other words, you can only make three cards. If one side can't make all three, they lose! If one was successful, there was no need to continue. Both of them had succeeded, and the one with the greater power would win. If the power is the same, then the one who finishes first wins! "
Master Insect Mastery then turned to look at Baldy Ying and Ye Kong. He saw that they were smiling and nodding. He then turned to look at the Core Formation Elder in his sect. Seeing that the Core Formation Elder nodded, he immediately announced, "The competition begins now!"
The two people on the stage immediately got busy. They stood at the side of their own table and took out three blank talisman papers, followed by the Psychic Talisman Brush and finally the Spiritual Ink.
Seeing their movements, the spectators on and off the stage also craned their necks to look. In fact, most of the cultivators who came to watch the competition didn't come just to watch the fun. Who didn't want to learn a thing or two from school? If they could go back and make talismans themselves, how cool would that be?
But they were a bit disappointed. First of all, the spiritual ink was prepared beforehand, and no one knew what it was. Daoist Baldy's spiritual ink was a dark blue liquid, while Ye Kong's was a bright red. No one knew what they were using.
Talisman making was all about the brush, ink, and paper. Baldy Ying and Ye Kong looked at each other to see what the other was using. First of all, a blank talisman paper was useless from afar. Ye Kong believed that this fella wouldn't use inferior talisman paper. Second was the brush. A good Psychic Talisman Brush would greatly increase the success rate of talisman making. Ye Kong had a Wolf Eyebrow Brush, which was considered a good item among the Psychic Talisman Brushes. Baldy Ying had a good brush called "Golden Bamboo", which was made from a precious bamboo. It was also a good brush. Lastly was the ink. The quality of the ink was directly related to the power of the talisman. Baldy Ying chose the most expensive Poison Dragon Grass seed among the low grade intermediate spiritual herbs. The spirit energy contained in the seed was shocking, and the talisman made from it was also very powerful. Meanwhile, Ye Kong chose the Green Dragon Snake blood that he bought yesterday.
Baldy Ying looked at the red spiritual ink that Ye Kong took out from afar. He snorted. Yesterday, he left first and didn't see Ye Kong buy the Green Dragon Snake's blood. Hence, he was a little disdainful.
In fact, there was a difference between the spirit beast blood and the spiritual herb seeds. Although the spirit beast blood contained more spirit energy than the spiritual herb seeds, the spirit energy in the spirit beast blood was not very stable. On the other hand, the juice of the spiritual herb seeds was much more stable.
Therefore, Daoist Baldy scoffed at the spirit beast blood that Ye Kong took out. Generally, real Talisman Masters were rarely willing to use the spirit beast blood to make talismans.
Both of them took out their tools, but unexpectedly, both of them closed their eyes and stopped all actions.
"Both of them are experts." The Core Formation Stage cultivator who was watching from behind praised. Obviously, he also knew a little about this. Those who couldn't wait to draw on paper and brush were definitely novices who had just made talismans.
Talisman making required a calm state of mind and not be disturbed by external things. Only by wholeheartedly concentrating on making a talisman could a successful talisman be made. Therefore, talisman makers usually chose a remote and uninhabited place to set up a formation and make talismans with peace of mind. But today, the two of them stood in the middle of hundreds of cultivators making talismans, and the surrounding noise was endless. This in itself was a test for talisman masters.
After a short while, Daoist Baldy Ying opened his eyes first. He looked at Ye Kong from the corner of his eyes, but his face didn't show any expression. Then, he picked up his golden bamboo talisman brush and began to make talismans.
"It seems that Daoist Baldy Ying is slightly better." The Core Formation Stage Elder nodded and said. The person who calmed down first must be an old master who had been making talismans for many years.
The Hundred Insect Stronghold Sect Leader beside him also sighed and said, "Indeed, although Daoist Baldy Ying often likes to pass off shoddy talismans as good ones, his experience in making talismans is still very rich. This little cultivator from Bone Spirit Sect can't compare to him."
The Core Formation Stage Elder suddenly thought of something and asked, "Bone Spirit Sect has been peaceful recently. I haven't heard of their sect for a long time."
The Hundred Insect Stronghold Sect Leader smiled and said, "After Bone Spirit Sect's Yuanying Ancestor passed away, there are no more Yuanying cultivators in the sect. I think their sect will soon be finished."
The Core Formation Stage Elder nodded and said, "Without Yuanying Ancestor, this sect will eventually disappear. This is the iron law of Cang Nan. If this little Aura Refining cultivator can perform well today …"
"Martial Nephew understands." The Hundred Insect Stronghold Sect Leader and the Core Formation Stage Elder smiled and nodded. They probably wanted to recruit Ye Kong. It was very difficult to train a talisman master. Which sect didn't want to raise a chicken that could lay golden eggs?
While the Hundred Insect Stronghold Sect Leader and the Core Formation Stage Elder were talking, Ye Kong also began to make his move. He picked up the psychic talisman brush "Wolf Eyebrow" and dipped it in the Azure Dragon Snake's blood. Using his spiritual energy, the brush moved like a dragon and the tip of the brush quickly drew on the narrow talisman paper.
"Chi!" Perhaps it was because there were too many onlookers and they couldn't stay completely calm, but Daoist Baldy Ying, who had a very high success rate in drawing the Firebird Spell, unexpectedly took the lead and burned the talisman.
"Daoist Baldy Ying can't do it either."
"Yes, it's burning."
The crowd below immediately began to clamor, but the Baldy wasn't affected. He suppressed his emotions, looked off into the distance, took two deep breaths, and picked up his brush once more.
Both Daoist Baldy Ying and Ye Kong drew talismans very quickly. Looking at their movements, they were very skilled. Although Ye Kong had never drawn a talisman before, he had already sketched the Firebird Spell in his mind several times. Coupled with his previous experience in making talismans, his speed was not slow.
As Daoist Baldy Ying drew and burned the talisman paper, Ye Kong's first talisman was also not ideal. Although it didn't burn, the talisman paper didn't react at all. Obviously, it was also a useless talisman. It couldn't gather spiritual energy and couldn't be used at all.
Ye Kong didn't take a deep breath like Daoist Bald Eagle. Instead, he started to make the second Firebird Spell.
He didn't inhale or calm his mind because he knew the reason for his mistake. Because the talisman crafting materials he was using this time were different from the past. This time, it was the blood of a spirit beast with strong spiritual power. Therefore, there was a higher requirement for the fire attribute Spiritual Qi in his body. His own fire attribute Spiritual Qi had to restrain the spiritual power of the Green Flood Dragon Snake's blood.
"Success!" Just as everyone thought, Daoist Baldy Ying was the first to raise a talisman that was flashing with silver light. To everyone's disappointment, he had succeeded.
"I told you, Daoist Baldy Ying is more powerful. He is a personal disciple of the Cloud Talisman Sect.
"Yes, after all, he is an old master. No matter how powerful this little cultivator from the Bone Spirit Sect is, how can he be compared to Daoist Baldy Ying?"
The audience below the stage became noisy again. However, among the crowd, there was a cultivator with a thin mustache who was very angry.
"Hey, what are you talking about? The competition is not over yet! The winner has not been decided yet! "The bearded cultivator roared angrily.
"The winner has already been decided! What's so special about this Firebird Spell? Everyone knows how powerful it is. Even if the little cultivator from the Bone Spirit Sect succeeded in drawing it, he has already lost in terms of time, "the previous cultivator said very unhappily.
"Stop talking." A little cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refinement hurriedly pulled his sleeve.
"What are you afraid of? You can't just stop talking!" The cultivator said very unhappily. However, when he saw that the bearded cultivator turned out to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator that he couldn't see through, he was so scared that he hurriedly went to apologize.
"I was rash, please forgive me, Immortal Elder." The cultivator bowed.
The bearded cultivator sneered and said, "I am not using my cultivation to suppress you. I am just telling you that I have high hopes for that little cultivator from the Bone Spirit Sect. If he says he can win, then he will definitely win!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The little cultivator hurriedly nodded, but in his heart, he thought, If he says he can win, then he will win? I also say I can win!
