"So that's how it is." Jiang Yun roughly understood the basic information of Ziyang City. Next, he couldn't wait to see the special features of Ziyang Talisman.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist is so generous. Today, I will risk my life to accompany you, so I will accompany you for a walk."

Hou Kun finished the last drop of wine and finally put down his glass, still unsatisfied. Jiang Yun called the waiter over to settle the bill. The two of them spent exactly 10 spirit stones, and the snacks were all free.

"Let's go, the battle of talismans is about to begin, and it's a good opportunity for you to go and see it."

Jiang Yun followed Hou Kun to the square where they had just entered the city gate. Sure enough, the crowd here was standing below the stage, and on the stage there were two monks painting furiously.

"Fellow Daoist, please look! The pattern on that screen is a copy of the Purple Sun Divine Stone." Hou Kun pointed at the huge screen Jiang Yun had just seen. Jiang Yun struggled hard and finally saw the familiar pattern on it.

"The two sides are the Zhang family's side sect and the outsiders. If the Zhang family can win, then they will be very qualified to be trained by the side sect and have the opportunity to represent the side sect in the once-a-decade Ziyang Talisman Meeting."

"If the other party wins and performs outstandingly, a shrine will soon come to invite them to join."

Jiang Yun nodded. He was not good at drawing talismans, so it seemed that he had to find a way to learn it.

After the two men finished drawing the talismans, Jiang Yun saw an old monk put the talismans of both parties on a tray and began to demonstrate in public in front of a dummy emitting black energy on a platform in the square.

"This dummy has been immersed in the Ziyang Sect's Demonic Pond. It is imbued with demonic energy. The Ziyang Talisman Competition will see which one has the greater power against the demonic energy. Let's begin!"

As Hou Kun finished speaking, Jiang Yun saw the elderly cultivator pick up one of the talismans. With a flick of his hand, the talisman in his hand activated. Suddenly, a purple aura appeared on one of the mannequins. The black energy that had been entangled around the mannequin dissipated, and the entire wooden body suddenly became a faint purple.

"Good! This talisman is extremely powerful, with the power of a first-grade top-grade talisman."

Upon seeing this, Hou Kun slapped his thigh and shouted, "Great!" The monks in the stands also cheered.

The Zhang family cultivator on the platform immediately raised his hand in response. It seemed that this talisman was drawn by the other party.

After the first test was completed, the old monk took out the second one and activated the same hand gesture. Suddenly, the black gas on the other dummy wrapped in black gas dissipated, but the purple gas also disappeared. After a while, a trace of black gas appeared on the wooden body again.

"This one is just average, with only the power of a mid-grade one." Hou Kun shook his head, as if he felt sorry for the cultivator, and sure enough, there was a round of boos from the audience.

The other non-monk turned and jumped off the stage, leaving the Zhang family's talisman master alone, waving to the audience.

"It seems that a dark horse will appear in the Zhang family of Ziyang Fuhui." Hou Kun hurriedly took out paper and pen and quickly drew the scene on the stage.

"Hehe, this is how I make a living. Every year, the Purple Sun Talisman Meeting is also the time for us local cultivators to place bets. Every participant is our target. If we can bet on the champion, then we will soar to the sky!"

Seeing Jiang Yun's surprise, Hou Kun explained immediately, and then told about a colleague in previous sessions. He got a large sum of money by betting on the champion, and finally used these spirit stones to buy the foundation-building pill, and advanced to the foundation-building stage in one fell swoop, becoming a legend among his peers.

"Where are you going next, fellow Daoist?" After his anticipation, Hou Kun turned around and looked at Jiang Yun.
