In the main hall, besides Lin Xiuyuan, there were several other newly recruited disciples who were clearly familiar with him.
In the previous competition, Lin Xiuyuan truly amazed everyone present, and even many elders and deacons were shocked.
At this moment, many people were curious about Lin Xiuyuan, the newly promoted disciple, and there was a lot of discussion and surprise.
They simply offered to do a favor and make friends with these older members of the Lingxiao lineage.
In a short time, everyone learned about Lin Xiuyuan's deeds.
Clearly, many people on the main peak had heard about this, since so many people watched the competition back then, and the news had already spread.
However, they never expected that this legendary figure who could withstand the Heavenly Thunder Pearl would actually be the newly recruited disciple before them!
"Is it really him? He's the formidable figure who withstood the Heavenly Thunder Pearl during the Nine Heavens Mountain Grand Competition?"
"I never expected it to be a disciple of Lingxiao. I thought it would be someone from Yunxiao... After all, they withstood the Heavenly Thunder Pearl head-on, so their combat strength must be amazing. How did they end up in Lingxiao?"
"However, indeed, with such mastery of talismans, it is not unreasonable for the other party to come to the Lingxiao lineage."
"I heard that the Heavenly Thunder Pearl was a defective product, which is why he was able to block it?"
"So what if it's a defective product? It's still a Heavenly Thunder Pearl. One of my cousins participated in that competition. According to him, even a typical late-stage Foundation Establishment expert couldn't withstand its power for long. This shows how powerful this guy is."
"…………"
Wang Qiuhe was still thinking about Lin Xiuyuan's extraordinary talent in talismanic arts when she heard a series of exclamations from below.
For a moment, Wang Qiuhe was stunned. She had heard about the Heavenly Thunder Pearl before, and she knew about it from her grandfather.
At the time, she didn't quite understand why Wang Yangshan held a disciple of Jiuxiao Mountain in such high regard.
Admittedly, this matter is somewhat unbelievable. To withstand a Heavenly Thunder Pearl in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage would cause a sensation in any region. Even if the Heavenly Thunder Pearl was a defective product, it would not diminish the extraordinary nature of this matter.
But given Wang Yangshan's status and cultivation level, there was no need for him to whisper in her ear for days.
At this moment, Wang Qiuhe finally realized why her grandfather was unusually praising a newly promoted disciple.
I see!
However, after learning this, Wang Qiuhe was somewhat speechless about her grandfather Wang Yangshan, but her feelings towards Lin Xiuyuan changed significantly.
Originally, they held Lin Xiuyuan in contempt, believing him to be mediocre, dishonest, and only interested in climbing the social ladder.
But now it seems that's not the case at all?
Judging from the competition alone, it is clear that Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation is definitely not weak. He is no ordinary person. Even if he were placed on the main peak, he would be close to being a prodigy.
After all, not many people can withstand a Heavenly Thunder Pearl in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, even if it's a defective one, especially one that seems to have only recently broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage...
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan's mastery of talismanic arts was extraordinary. While not exactly a prodigy, his talent was certainly among the best.
No matter how you look at it, Lin Xiuyuan is clearly not an ordinary cultivator; he is a genius-level cultivator!
This naturally greatly reduced and significantly changed Wang Qiuhe's negative impression of Lin Xiuyuan.
However, this still couldn't change Wang Qiuhe's prejudice against Lin Xiuyuan. After Lin Xiuyuan appeared, the matter of marriage inexplicably arose, which couldn't be fake.
This left Wang Qiuhe with a strong prejudice against Lin Xiuyuan!
Amidst numerous surprised discussions.
Lin Xiuyuan slowly finished drawing and put away his talisman brush.
Before him, a low-grade dry fire talisman was clearly visible, formed by interwoven spiritual patterns on the talisman paper.
Looking at it all day, it's surprisingly similar to the one drawn by Wang Qiuhe next to it, about 70-80%!
Upon seeing this, Wang Qiuhe nodded in agreement. It was indeed impeccable, and she couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh that she had originally intended to.
No one could find fault with it.
She had only drawn it once and given a brief explanation, without going into any depth, yet Lin Xiuyuan had already drawn seventy or eighty percent of it. What fault could she possibly find?
Most of the older generation of Lingxiao disciples sitting below were unable to draw even half of it.
Only a small percentage might reach 60-70%!
This demonstrates that Lin Xiuyuan's talent in talismanic arts is so high that it is beyond reproach.
"Hmm, very good. It's clear that you, as a new disciple, have remarkable talent. Don't waste this genius in the art of talismans. You must be diligent and persistent in your studies in the future. Now, go down!"
Wang Qiuhe had no choice but to give up her little scheme. After saying something insincere and indifferent, she waved her hand, signaling Lin Xiuyuan to sit back down.
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly, a hint of pride flashing across his face. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister. I will remember it forever."
Wang Qiuhe seemed to catch a glimpse of that fleeting smug look, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, but she couldn't show it at the moment. She could only glance at Lin Xiuyuan's back and snort coldly in her heart.
The lecture was nearing its end at this point.
Next, Wang Qiuhe invited a few more people up to draw spirit patterns and explained them slowly.
It's not difficult in itself; once you understand the intricacies, you can learn it easily.
In less than fifteen minutes.
Almost all the Lingxiao disciples present had learned it.
For a moment, everyone wore smiles, feeling quite pleased with the occasion.
This mysterious change is of great help to talisman masters. Every little bit of increase in the success rate represents an increase in efficiency and profit!
Not to mention, there's also a slight increase in power, which is fantastic news for talisman masters who specialize in crafting fire-attribute talismans.
As the event ended, the Lingxiao disciples couldn't help but express their gratitude once again.
"Thank you so much, Senior Sister, for sharing such a profound rune with us so selflessly. We are truly grateful beyond words!"
"I wonder which genius crafted these talismans. They're truly monstrous! I never imagined that my Lingxiao lineage would have such hidden talents..."
"..."
Lin Xiuyuan left immediately to avoid any complications, as Wang Qiuhe might still want to cause him trouble later.
However, after Lin Xiuyuan quickly left the main hall, he hadn't taken more than a few steps when his expression darkened.
Lin Xiuyuan's expression darkened slightly as he looked at the people blocking the passageway.
They've come with ill intentions!
One of them was none other than Wang An, the senior student who had tried to cause him trouble several months ago...
