Chapter 568 My Junior Sister Must Not Have Those Troubles
The shopkeeper thought Ye Linglong was ambitious because of his young age, but he always had a high level of professional ethics and patiently answered Ye Linglong's questions.
"For talisman masters above level three, the price of talisman paper is set by the talisman master himself, and it is sold under his name."
Ye Linglong understood after hearing this. After reaching the fourth level as a talisman master, she could use her code name to sell talisman paper. She had control over the price because her name was her value.
Seeing Ye Linglong looking eager to try, the shopkeeper kindly reminded her.
"It's a good thing that the young lady has great ambitions, but in all the major sects, only the fourth-level Talisman Master can be admitted by the direct disciples of the Talisman Master Elder. It's even more amazing to be a fifth-level Talisman Master. Tianling Mansion can make an exception and admit you! And there is only one sixth-level Talisman Master in the entire Tianling Region, and that is the elder who teaches talismans in Tianling Mansion!"
It seems that in order to make money, it is necessary to take the exam to become a talisman master.
"Where do you take the exam for the talisman master?"
Quyang City is very close to Xintu City, so the shopkeeper has seen too many confident talisman masters who came from the lower immortal world.
It's a pity that the talismans of the upper immortal world are far from comparable to the meager knowledge of the lower immortal world.
In the end, there is a high probability that you will pass the exam to the first level. Many talisman masters cannot even pass the first level, so they cannot sell talisman paper in shops and can only set up stalls on the streets.
"Turn left and there is a test point on the next street. You should go there early because there will be a lot of people lining up. But you must be careful not to line up in the wrong place, because there are also tests for alchemists, weapon refiners, beastmasters, etc."
"Thank you, sir."
After Ye Linglong found out, he dragged Gu Linyuan to the assessment site.
Gu Linyuan helped Ye Linglong queue up while Ye Linglong was gathering information around the assessment point. When it was almost Ye Linglong's turn, the two of them switched seats. Gu Linyuan went to buy some elixirs for her and prepared some spiritual fruits for her.
Just like a parent accompanying his child to take the exam, so considerate in every way.
After it was his turn, Ye Linglong went in for the assessment.
The assessment here is conducted in a room for each person. There is only a smooth black stone tablet in the room. After entering, you press your palm on the stone tablet to start the assessment.
The test content was very simple for Ye Linglong. It took less than a quarter of an hour from the beginning to the end, and she had no idea what the test would reveal.
After finishing the exam, Ye Linglong went to the lobby to wait for her results. When she went there, Gu Linyuan had already reserved a seat for her. In the lobby that was full of people, she had a seat.
"Thank you, Third Brother."
"How did you do on the test?"
Before Ye Linglong could answer, the people around him started wailing.
"It's too difficult. It's much more difficult than what I learned in the lower cultivation world! There are many things that I can't even write!"
"So most of the people who take the test first enter a good sect through a disciple-recruiting convention, and then study in the sect for a period of time before taking the test."
"That's true, but if you can get good grades before the disciple-recruiting conference, you will have more autonomy to choose a better sect at the conference!"
"That's right. Let's improve our talisman skills while there is still some time before the disciple recruitment meeting."
After hearing those words, Gu Linyuan turned around and looked at Ye Linglong with a smile, his face full of tenderness.
"My little junior sister definitely doesn't have those worries."
"Why is Third Brother so confident in me?"
"First, you are already a nominal disciple of Kuangwang Mountain. You don't need to fight for a place in the sect like others. There is no pressure. Secondly, I have seen the talisman paper of the little junior sister. It is a top-grade one even in the upper cultivation world. It is very useful."
"So what level of talisman master do you think I am?"
"I don't know much about talismans, but I think level three is definitely no problem, and level four might be a possibility."
Ye Linglong smiled brilliantly.
"Then we'll have to wait and see."
The announcement of the assessment results was simple and crude. After each person's results came out, the person at the assessment point would directly call out the name and at the same time hand the jade card representing the talisman master's level to the talisman master.
Therefore, names were called frequently in the waiting hall.
Just as the shopkeeper said, most people can't even pass the first level. Those who can't pass don't have a jade card and they just say they have failed the oral test.
About one in ten people present here can pass the first level. While they are waiting, they have heard of one person passing the second level, but none passing the third level, let alone the fourth and fifth levels.
Time passed little by little, and Ye Linglong's results were still not released.
"Strange, the group whose results are coming out now seem to have finished their assessments later than you. Why are their results out, but yours haven't?"
"I don't know. I'm also confused."
Gu Linyuan was about to stand up and ask the person who announced the results and distributed the jade tokens, when he heard him call out Ye Linglong's name.
"Ye Linglong, is Ye Linglong here?"
This question startled everyone who was waiting for the results.
Because everyone else just said their name and rank, only Ye Linglong said the name but not the rank, and also asked if anyone was there.
"I am here."
As soon as Ye Linglong stood up, he attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
"The examiner asks you to come inside."
This statement immediately caused countless heated discussions.
"Cheating, huh?"
"Of course, only cheaters will be called in, nothing else."
Hearing other people's whispers, Gu Linyuan frowned and stood in front of Ye Linglong.
"Why did the examiner ask my junior sister to come in?"
"She'll know when she gets there."
"She will know, but the people present don't. If you call her directly without giving her a reason, she will be labeled a cheater, which is a great insult to her! So you can go, but you must give a reason."
Ye Linglong was stunned. She didn't expect that her third senior brother, who usually didn't talk much and always went along with her in everything, cared so much about her reputation.
"My senior brother is right. If you don't give me a reason, I won't go. I can't stand your condescending attitude."
Ye Linglong just wanted to take advantage of the free time these few days to get a certificate and sell a talisman, that's all.
But she didn't have to take the test here. She could have Kuangwangshan sign her up for the test. At that time, it wouldn't be such a simple and casual place, and there wouldn't be such a disrespectful attitude.
No wonder Meng Shutong had been persuading her to join the Kuangwang Mountain. Indeed, in the upper realm of immortal cultivation, it was too easy to be bullied without a background.
Seeing Ye Linglong was about to turn around, the man immediately became anxious and stood up suddenly.
"Ms. Ye, of course you didn't cheat, but your results... I'll ask the examiner to talk about it later."
When that person went to ask for a break from the examiner, the news spread quickly. Not only the talisman master examination, but also the alchemist and weapon master examinations next door came to watch the excitement. Many people who passed by outside and heard the commotion also came in.
After all, this is the first time that an assessment has pointed out such a situation.
