Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 588: Chapter 280: I Can Become a Talisman Master Too

"Hehe, sorry, I forgot Junior Brother Qu’s skills are not yet mature. I hope Junior Brother Qu won’t be anxious; one day, you will also become a true Talisman Master."

Ma Weidong mocked openly.

"You haven’t even passed the test yet, so don’t speak too soon."

Qu Yiguang retorted angrily.

"If Junior Brother Qu doesn’t believe, we can place a bet."

Ma Weidong challenged.

"Silence."

The speaker was Qiu Shan, who said to Changyun, "Junior Brother, let’s start the test!"

Changyun controlled his anger and walked to a nearby grandmaster chair to sit down.

Qu Yiguang and Jiang Feng both stood behind Changyun.

"Ah, Changyun is left with only two disciples, and one is an Outer Disciple."

"Our Yagu Peak suffered a heavy loss this time. If my disciple hadn’t gone out to experience and learn, I might also be as alone as Changyun."

"Yagu Peak without a Talisman Master will eventually be eliminated. Everyone today should be lenient; if Qiu Shan’s disciple passes, let him pass!"

...

Apart from Changyun and Qiu Shan, there were several venerable Talisman Masters on Yagu Peak, these people had been stuck at bottlenecks for years, with no hope of advancement, so they placed their hopes on Changyun and Qiu Shan.

Seeing Changyun and Qiu Shan clash immediately upon meeting, they were not surprised, and even welcomed such occurrences because they believed it could stimulate the fighting spirit of Changyun and Qiu Shan.

However, upon seeing that Changyun’s disciples were only left with Qu Yiguang and Jiang Feng, everyone shook their heads and sighed, feeling that Changyun’s lineage was hopeless.

"Disciple Ma Weidong, under the tutelage of Talisman Master Qiu Shan, please enlighten me, dear uncles and elders."

Ma Weidong walked to the center of the hall and saluted the senior members of Yagu Peak sitting on both sides and the center. The host, an elderly man, smiled and nodded at him, signaling he could begin.

Ma Weidong received permission, took a deep breath, and quickly formed a Talisman Seal Technique with his hands.

Buzz!

It was a Defense Rune.

It flashed in front of him.

A true Talisman Master can inscribe Talismanic Seals and further condense Talisman Seal Techniques in the void. In the face of attacks or critical moments, they can instantly cast a Talisman Seal Technique, gaining the initiative and then using Talismanic Seals to strike weak points, thereby reversing the situation and seizing control.

And condensing Talisman Seal Techniques in the void is just a Basic Technique for Talisman Masters.

Ma Weidong’s layer of Defense Rune, though ordinary, already met the standard, allowing him to block attacks from cultivators below the Fifth-Layer Qi Condensation.

If facing a stronger opponent, this layer of Defense Rune could still buy him time to counterattack and continue defending.

The nearby examiners all nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction.

Qu Yiguang clenched his fists. Instantly casting a Talisman Seal Technique seemed simple, yet it was extremely difficult to cultivate successfully. The biggest step in becoming a Talisman Master lay in instantly casting Talisman Seal Techniques.

In this domain, he had trained arduously for years without any progress. Upon seeing Ma Weidong easily casting a Defense Rune, his feelings were self-evident.

Ma Weidong started with an instant Talisman Seal Technique.

Seeing himself garner applause from the hall, he smiled and bowed again toward the main seats, and then approached a table to craft Talisman Paper before everyone.

Talisman Masters can purchase Talisman Paper, and many renowned Talisman Masters no longer make it themselves, assigning the task to their disciples.

But at the assessment site, crafting Talisman Paper is a key step in becoming a Talisman Master.

The Cyan Cloud Sect has always been stringent in its assessment of Talisman Masters.

Just forming the Talisman Paper doesn’t directly ensure passing. It requires a careful examination to confirm the paper meets certain standards to acknowledge this achievement.

Ma Weidong’s technique was very swift.

He frequented the Paper Garden.

Much was done personally, only delegating the simplest tasks to Outer Disciples or Servant Disciples, like grinding pulp and applying Demon Blood.

At today’s assessment site, the Talisman Paper crafting did not involve grinding pulp or applying Demon Blood, as people had prepared ground pulp and a captive white wolf for him.

"Poof!"

Ma Weidong stepped forward, slashed off the white wolf’s head with one stroke, and its head rolled to the ground, while its headless corpse convulsed in the cage.

Ma Weidong plunged his hand into the wooden tub filled with pulp.

With a powerful swing.

Pulp surged out of the basin, forming a scroll in mid-air, while the blood spurting from the white wolf’s headless corpse was guided by Ma Weidong’s Spiritual Power onto the pulp before him.

He altered his technique.

Flames boiled in his palms.

More than ten slaps fired off consecutively.

Over ten well-soaked sheets of Talisman Paper, seemingly pulsing with Demon Beast Qi Blood, appeared before the crowd.

"Beep!"

Ma Weidong then cast another Talisman Seal Technique, embedding it into the Talisman Paper, causing the blood light on the paper to dim instantly, and the pulsations of Demon Beast Qi Blood vanished completely.

"Please evaluate, dear uncles and elders."

Ma Weidong placed the over ten sheets of Talisman Paper before each Talisman Master, and for Changyun’s seat, he specifically placed three sheets of Talisman for further scrutiny.

Changyun looked at the three sheets of Talisman Paper before him; each integration of Demon Blood was perfect, ranking higher than the marketplace’s premium Talisman Paper, he couldn’t help but glance at Qu Yiguang.

Qu Yiguang understood Changyun’s intention.

He felt deeply ashamed.

He could only bow his head and remain silent.

Changyun sighed inwardly, not blaming Qu Yiguang. After the Yagu Peak incident, his sect was only left with Qu Yiguang and Jiang Feng.

Qu Yiguang was the most likely candidate to inherit the mantle and become a Talisman Master within ten years. He could only teach patiently, as rebuking words were simply unspeakable.
