Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 587: Chapter 279: A Sheep Entering a Tiger’s Den (Part 3)

Already planning reconstruction.

Changyun is a senior member of Yagu Peak, and will likely be onsite to oversee the reconstruction matters. Jiang Feng might be over there; even if he’s not, Changyun can call Jiang Feng over at a moment’s notice.

In any case, heading to Yagu Peak now is the right decision.

After Yagu Peak was burned down.

Cyan Cloud Peak set up a temporary office for Talisman Masters, located on the Second Layer of the Main Hall.

At this moment.

Changyun arrived at the Second Layer of the Main Hall with Qu Yiguang and Jiang Feng.

The Talisman Master Qiu Shan, who competes with Changyun and can already craft Yellow-Grade Talismans, was upstairs at this time. Seeing Changyun bring his disciples over, he deliberately said loudly: "Tsk tsk tsk, Junior Brother Changyun, calling you over from afar was not intentional. You know, when a disciple of our Talisman Master lineage is promoted, all Talisman Masters must be present. Only after everyone’s examination can they attain the corresponding identity.

So I’m truly sorry, but the blame must lie with my unruly disciple. Choosing to promote at this time without considering Junior Brother’s disciples, who died or were injured recently, who knows when a true Talisman Master might emerge from your sect."

Qiu Shan increasingly mocked Changyun.

"How have you forgotten again, who’s senior or junior? Shall we have Little Sister come over to judge who is Senior Brother and who is Junior Brother?"

Changyun retorted, unwilling to back down.

The two share the same master.

Rivaling each other for Little Sister, they joined the Cyan Cloud Sect at the same time, also for competition.

"Hmph! We agreed back then, whoever first trains a Talisman Master would claim Little Sister. I doubt you’ve forgotten!"

Qiu Shan said angrily.

"Enough talk, show everyone which disciple has been promoted."

Changyun changed the subject proactively.

"Disciple Ma Weidong, greeting Uncle Master Changyun."

A man in his thirties stepped forward behind Qiu Shan and bowed towards Changyun.

"Wrong, you should call him Elder Master."

Qu Yiguang exclaimed angrily.

He and Ma Weidong studied under Changyun and Qiu Shan respectively. Their two masters competed openly, and secretly they also competed with each other, only Ma Weidong unexpectedly became a Talisman Master first.

All along, Ma Weidong’s talent was only average, but today’s rise shows he intentionally hid his skills.

Qu Yiguang was inwardly furious.

After the Yagu Peak incident, Changyun’s disciples suffered casualties, losing several with higher talents than Qu Yiguang, one who was just a step away from becoming a Talisman Master.

If they were still here today.

They might compete with Ma Weidong and attempt the Talisman Master assessment.

It seems Qiu Shan selected today for his disciple to undergo assessment and promotion to Talisman Master, precisely to take advantage and rub salt in Changyun’s wounds.

So Changyun and Qu Yiguang are both very upset.

"Junior Brother Qu, how is your progress in cultivation? If I’m the only one undergoing the assessment, it might be a bit dull. Why don’t you try it with me, maybe you’ll become a Talisman Master too?"

Ma Weidong mocked.

Qu Yiguang was speechless, standing aside glaring at Ma Weidong with a darkened face.

Jiang Feng stood at the back; he had rushed back from Purple Mist Peak to find Qu Yiguang, but before he could say much, Changyun had brought him to Cyan Cloud Peak.

They didn’t speak along the way, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Jiang Feng thought his cover might be blown, Huang Li was waiting for him at the main peak, but it turned out that the Talisman Master Qiu Shan, who had always been at odds with Changyun, was preparing today to host the promotion ceremony for his disciple Ma Weidong.

Once Ma Weidong passes the assessment.

The lineage gains another Talisman Master, which is undoubtedly a blessing for the severely affected Yagu Peak, and subtly elevates Qiu Shan’s status over Changyun.

Jiang Feng truly did not know what to say.

He too wanted to be promoted to Talisman Master today, to use his status to counter Huang Li’s potential threat. Unexpectedly, he clashed with Ma Weidong.

If promoting today to restore face for Changyun is certainly a good thing.

But subtly it would deeply offend Qiu Shan, one who can craft Yellow-Level Rapid Movement Talismans. As long as he solidifies his skills over the next few years, he could become a Third-Grade Talisman Master, at that time his status will far surpass Changyun.

If he bears a grudge and teams up with Huang Li against Jiang Feng in the future, it would be all sorts of trouble.
