Su Qing glanced at the ink and confirmed that it was indeed the ink for drawing teleportation talismans. So she picked up the brush, dipped it fully in the ink, and began to draw on the blank talisman paper.

These teleportation talismans sell exceptionally well; Su Qing has drawn at least several thousand of them and is already highly skilled at it.

In the blink of an eye, a teleportation talisman was drawn.

The talisman flashed with light, indicating that the talisman was complete.

The elder's eyes lit up.

He could draw a low-level talisman like the teleportation talisman in an instant, but he was a Core Formation cultivator, while Su Qing was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage.

"Good, good, good!" Elder Wen looked at Su Qing as if she were a precious treasure.

"Although you haven't become my disciple, I have a third-grade talisman manual here, so I'll give it to you! Cultivate it diligently, and your future will be limitless." As he spoke, he took out a book and handed it to Su Qing.

Su Qing took it and her eyes lit up immediately.

This was not the ordinary talisman diagrams she had seen in the library. This Grade 3 Talisman Compendium not only showed the diagrams of the talismans, but also the methods for drawing them.

Su Qing can only draw ordinary first and second-grade talismans now because she doesn't know how to draw third-grade talismans. With this book, drawing third-grade talismans will be a piece of cake in the future.

"Thank you very much, Elder Wen Dao!" Su Qing hurriedly bowed in gratitude.

Yun Luoyan was completely dumbfounded. She was Elder Wen Dao's disciple, wasn't she?

How can you not pass on such a good skill to your own apprentice?

Yun Luoyan knelt down in front of Elder Wen Dao with a thud, tugging at his sleeve, and said, "Master, I am Yun Luoyan, your outer disciple."

Elder Wen then glanced at Yun Luoyan.

"Oh, Yun Luoyan. You're not bad, you've reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. Hmm, you're quite a bit behind Su Qing, but you're still quite diligent. Here's a book of illustrations for first-grade talismans, go back and study it carefully."

Elder Wen Dao then pulled out another book and handed it to Yun Luoyan.

Yun Luoyan was so excited that she quickly took it.

"Practice hard. Strive to reach the Foundation Establishment stage and become an inner disciple as soon as possible." Elder Wen Dao said earnestly, his eyes not on Yun Luoyan, but fixed on Su Qing.

How could such a good disciple be snatched away by Shui Qingchen?

Then he glanced at Yun Luoyan and thought to himself, "This disciple is a bit lacking, but she's ambitious, so she's passable."

After Elder Wendao left, Yun Luoyan was in no hurry to take on any missions or training. Instead, she took the book "First-Grade Talisman Compendium" and went back to her cave to cultivate in seclusion.

As for the mission Bai Xiao had arranged, she didn't plan to go.

Su Qing studied the Grade 3 talisman illustrations for two days, only to find that her spiritual power was insufficient to draw Grade 3 talismans.

Even if she manages to draw one, her spiritual energy will be almost depleted, so she plans to wait until she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage before drawing another one.

However, it is still necessary to draw a few third-grade talismans to save lives.

Su Qing drew several teleportation talismans. She had used these talismans at Ying Shui Lake before, and they worked quite well.

However, teleportation scrolls have a drawback: they are too slow to activate. The teleportation process can easily be interrupted, and then the teleportation will be interrupted.

Just like when Su Qing was dragged out of the teleportation range by the Nine Netherworld Python.

Su Qing drew several more transformation talismans. These talismans were powerful and essential for escaping.

If you encounter an opponent you can't defeat, just throw out an incarnation talisman to create a clone, and your main body can quickly escape. It's like having an extra life!

Teleportation talismans and avatar talismans weren't enough, so Su Qing also drew several golden armor defense talismans. These defense talismans were so strong that even a Core Formation stage cultivator couldn't break through them, making Su Qing feel very safe.

Su Qing flipped through the illustrated guide again and found the most pretentious talisman.

"Azure Dragon Manifestation Talisman"

This Azure Dragon Manifestation Talisman is a high-end version of a Spirit Summoning Talisman.

The Azure Dragon is a divine beast. Before it appears, dark clouds gather, lightning flashes and thunder roars. After the Azure Dragon roars, a phantom image of an Azure Dragon appears in the air...

Su Qing felt that this talisman could even fool a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At Jade Maiden Peak, news of Su Qing's affair had already reached Shui Qingchen's ears.

Shui Qingchen was overjoyed. Luckily, she acted first and quickly recruited Su Qing into her own sect while on the Heavenly Ladder.

Those elders at the Core Formation stage must be incredibly envious of me now.

Elder Wen Dao has come to her Jade Maiden Peak several times, just wanting to change disciples.

Can an inner disciple with a water elemental root be replaced with an outer disciple with a three elemental root?

If anyone heard this, they would laugh their heads off, but if this outer disciple with three spiritual roots were Su Qing...

Just two words: No change!

Are you kidding me?

Su Qing is the Scroll King of the Xuanling Sect.

Not only do they give exam papers, but they also release results.

Although Su Qing's cultivation speed cannot compare to that of a cultivator with a single spiritual root, she can still draw talismans.

Fifty thousand talismans in half a month—which inner disciple could do that?

Although Shui Qingchen is an alchemist and cannot teach Su Qing how to draw talismans, she can teach Su Qing how to refine pills.

Shui Qingchen had already made up her mind. She had already asked the weapon-refining room to prepare a pill-refining furnace for Su Qing. She wouldn't wait for Su Qing to reach the Foundation Establishment stage; with her talent, she would start learning pill refining right now.

"Liu Xuan, you've emerged from seclusion?" Shui Qingchen nodded gently when he saw Liu Xuan, his outer disciple.

They've already reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage!

Liu Xuan had been stuck at the eighth level of Qi Refining for two years without any progress, but now, after only two or three months, she has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Shui Qingchen could tell that Liu Xuan had also been influenced by Su Qing.

"Yes, Master." Liu Xuan was not happy. Although she had broken through, Su Qing's brilliance completely overshadowed her, and no one would be happy about that.

“Liu Xuan, you’ve been at my Jade Maiden Peak for some time now, and you’ve broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Starting tomorrow, you’ll come to the alchemy room and learn alchemy from me,” Shui Qingchen said.

Liu Xuan's eyes lit up when she heard that.

She had been waiting for this day. Alchemy was her dream, and today it was finally going to come true!

"Yes, Master!"

"Go and call Su Qing over too, the two of you can learn together," Shui Qingchen said.

What?

Liu Xuan was completely devastated.

Everyone here has the aptitude of three spiritual roots and is an outer disciple. Liu Xuan has been a disciple of the Xuanling Sect for eight years and has served Shui Qingchen on Jade Maiden Peak for three years. Only now has she been given the opportunity to learn alchemy.

Su Qing, how long has Su Qing been a disciple of the Xuanling Sect? How come she can already learn alchemy?

Liu Xuan felt very sad.

Of course, if she knew that Shui Qingchen only intended to teach Su Qing alchemy and that Su Qing was just an afterthought, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.

"Yes, Master." Despite her immense discomfort, Liu Xuan dared not disobey her master's orders and obediently went to Su Qing to discuss learning alchemy.
