"Greetings, Senior Lin!" Jiang Yun finally saw this Master Lin Chengsi up close for the first time. He was a Foundation Establishment Master. In the world of immortal cultivation, only those at the Foundation Establishment stage or higher could be addressed as such.
"Well, Jiang Yun, right? How's your talisman cultivation going?"
Lin Chengsi was calm and composed, steady as a mountain. He had a long beard and pure white hair, but his face was as smooth as a baby's. He was clearly a true cultivator. The copy of the Purple Sun pattern that Jiang Yun had bought was created by him and his disciple Xu Xing.
"Reporting to the senior, I have reached the first-grade upper grade. In order to participate in the Talisman Conference, I have practiced the method of drawing the Purple Sun Talisman in depth."
Jiang Yun said respectfully that he specifically mentioned the drawing of the Purple Yang Talisman in order to reassure the other party so that it would not be surprising for him to win the battle of talismans. More importantly, there would still be a chance for him to represent the Worship Hall in the Purple Yang Talisman Meeting.
"Okay, then let's draw a Zi Yang Talisman." Lin Chengsi put down the official document in his hand and looked at Jiang Yun with interest. He also had a sudden idea and wanted to see the level of talisman cultivation of this monk who was determined to enter the worship hall.
"Okay," Jiang Yun said, closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, but his eyes were actually fixed on his proficiency panel.
[Skill: Purple Sun Talisman Level 1 Entry: 376/1000+]
【Year Point: 2041】
“Add some more!”
Jiang Yun muttered to himself, and in an instant he went from the first level of entry-level Purple Sun Talisman to mastery.
[Skill: Purple Sun Talisman Mastery: 409/3000+]
【Time Points: 1000】
Jiang Yun immediately added 1041 points to it. At the same time, various insights flashed through his mind, and he suddenly understood a little more about the patterns on the Purple Sun Divine Stone.
"Good!" Lin Chengsi felt very relieved when he saw Jiang Yun closing his eyes in deep thought. To draw talismans, one should concentrate and calm down without any disturbance.
After Jiang Yun closed his eyes for a full minute, he pulled out the talisman pen, the copybook, and a small piece of red and black spiritual ink from his storage bag.
Lin Chengsi saw that the other party was using the copy he and his apprentice had copied, and he felt a deeper appreciation for Jiang Yun. Although Mu Lin was not his direct disciple, his eagerness to learn was commendable.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Jiang Yun was absorbed in writing. Drawing on all the insights he had gained from the Purple Yang Talisman just now, Jiang Yun covered the copybook and began to draw the Purple Yang Talisman.
The Zi Yang Talisman is completely different from other talismans. The patterns of other talismans have been improved over many years, and now a set of orderly grades have been formed.
For example, the first-grade talismans are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. The top-grade is also called the quasi-second-grade. Each grade has its own talisman.
For example, the first-grade low-grade basic talismans such as the cleaning talisman, dust removal talisman, water condensation talisman, the mid-grade Vajra Talisman, Ice Spear Talisman, the high-grade Golden Armor Talisman, Black Armor Talisman, and the top-grade Illusion Shape-shifting Talisman.
Second-level talismans, like first-level ones, have their own unique talismans. There are also talismans of different grades drawn according to the level of talisman cultivation, such as the second-level wind and thunder talisman.
As the Zi Yang Talisman has not been passed down for a long time, it all depends on the person drawing the talisman to understand the art of talismans and the patterns of the magic stone in order to draw talismans of different grades.
The point Jiang Yun just added was to deepen his understanding of the patterns. In addition, he had become a top-grade talisman master. Before long, he successfully drew a talisman with flying dragons and phoenixes and natural patterns.
"Good!" Lin Chengsi couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this. The Zi Yang Talisman painted by Jiang Yun was already a top-notch piece of work.
"Yes, it's really good. I originally thought you didn't have much chance of winning against Zhang Ping, but it seems like the outcome is still uncertain!"
Lin Chengsi stroked his long beard while speaking, then turned to his apprentice and said:
"You should also give Mu Lin more advice during this period, and strive to win over the side branches in this battle of talismans."
Seeing this, Xu Xing quickly agreed.
"Friend Mu Dao, I didn't expect your attainments in the Dao of Talismans to be so impressive."
Xu Xing hurriedly congratulated him. Although Jiang Yun was also his competitor, he had the support of a foundation-building cultivator and was not afraid that Jiang Yun would threaten his position.
"No, I also want to thank Fellow Daoist Xu for his support."
Jiang Yun then took the opportunity to ask Xu Xing about several difficult points in the Dao of Talismans. Xu Xing did not hold back and answered Jiang Yun's questions one by one. He also gave Jiang Yun the basic information about Zhang Ping that he wanted to know.
"So the other party is an extremely arrogant person?"
What Jiang Yun heard from Xu Xing was exactly the same as what Ling Tong had said. Then Jiang Yun asked about Zhang Cheng. Hearing Jiang Yun asking about this person, Xu Xing snorted coldly. He said with a disdainful tone:
"This guy is just a figurehead in the Demon Suppression Division, but he doesn't have any real power. He just has a father who is a Foundation Establishment Deacon. How did he offend the seekers?"
After Xu Xing finished speaking, he asked curiously.
Jiang Yun told Xu Xing everything that happened last night, and Xu Xing laughed at him.
"This guy is only good at resorting to these despicable tactics. I will have the Worship Hall send an official letter to have the Demon Suppression Division properly manage his people."
After Xu Xing finished speaking, he said goodbye to Jiang Yun and prepared to go back to question the Demon Suppression Division. Jiang Yun watched the other party leave, then left the worship hall, changed his appearance, and returned to his Danfu Residence.
"There are still 10 days left."
Jiang Yun had just learned from the Worship Hall that the two would be competing for talismans during the annual auction. This was the busiest time of the year in Ziyang Immortal City. If he lost this talisman competition, he wouldn't have to think about joining the Ziyang Talisman Association.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun took out the inheritance of talismans and began to study it again. He planned to use the addition of points and practice to strive to draw top-level talismans before the battle of talismans and reach the top level of talisman master.
.......
Meanwhile, inside the Demon Suppression Division, Zhang Cheng was furious. Although he was a minor figure within the Demon Suppression Division and its branches, he still considered himself somewhat respected in Ziyang Immortal City. His investor this time was none other than Zhang Ping, his close cousin.
His recent group had finally produced a cultivator with considerable talent. Zhang Cheng usually responded to Zhang Ping's requests and handled many of his affairs. However, he had never expected that the independent cultivator he encountered during this crucial battle would be so formidable.
First, Niu Fang, whom he had sent out to explore the area, was captured by a member of the Demon Suppression Division, who then extorted him heavily. Before he could even finish the matter, the Worship Hall sent him another official letter, and he was reprimanded again.
"No! Are these outsiders trying to rebel?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng prepared to personally deal with the talisman master named Mu Lin. Zhang Ping's cousin's fighting talisman must not be lost.
At this moment, the door of his room suddenly opened, and a dissatisfied voice came in.
