Chapter 89 Paying Homage to Master Yuanfu
Chapter 89 Paying Homage to Master Yuanfu
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen wanted to get up immediately and go to the Talisman Hall's Executive Department to find Guo Lang.
Any task that's difficult to assign can be approached by him, the head of the executive department.
But then he thought: "In the world of cultivation, becoming a disciple is no small matter. Even a nominal disciple is like a son."
If I go by so recklessly, I might break some taboo.
"Let's first enter a dream to simulate the future and see if this path is feasible."
Jiang Chen still had a slight reservation about becoming Yuan Fu Zhenren's disciple.
There's no other reason than that Master Yuanfu isn't tough enough.
During his two years in the Golden Cauldron Sect, he also inquired about a lot of things concerning Zhao Changzhou.
In terms of talent, Zhao Changzhou is only at the fifth-grade spiritual aperture level. He has decent talent in talisman-making, but he's not exactly a prodigy.
Such a person wouldn't be targeted so aggressively by the loyalists.
Zhao Changzhou was targeted by the direct line faction because of a conflict with one of their disciples. In fact, it was the direct line faction that started the trouble by insulting the Talisman Hall.
Zhao Changzhou clashed with the Talisman Hall in an attempt to protect it.
As the two sides clashed, Zhao Changzhou, who was originally a rogue demon hunter, possessed extremely powerful killing skills and directly crippled the cultivation of the direct line disciple.
The loyalists investigated and decided to kill or torture Zhao Changzhou.
For such a trivial matter, Zhao Changzhou was in the right, and as a Yuanfu Zhenren, he could easily handle the situation.
As a result, when the loyalists threatened him, Master Yuanfu didn't dare to protect Zhao Changzhou. Instead, he sent him to Black Stone Mountain Market as a manager, where he wasted his life.
If it were Master Tiejian, in such a justifiable situation, he could have taken the blame even if his own disciple had crippled one of the direct lineage disciples, or even if he had killed ten or eight direct lineage disciples.
However, even if Yuanfu Zhenren is weak, he is still a true Core Formation cultivator.
Even a mountain made of mud is better than no mountain at all.
Having a master who has reached the Core Formation stage makes one feel much more confident.
Therefore, although Jiang Chen was not particularly satisfied with Yuan Fu Zhenren, he was still generally willing to become his disciple.
He sank his consciousness into his sea of consciousness, and the image of the butterfly dream still floated before his eyes.
At this moment, the three butterflies emitting a faint blue light on the Dream Butterfly painting have almost come together.
Jiang Chen knew that something major was about to happen to this thing, but the change was not yet complete.
As his divine sense probed into the Dream Butterfly Diagram, a message instantly arrived.
……
Number of Dream Butterflies: 3
[First Dream Butterfly Energy: 100%, Second Dream Butterfly Energy: 100%, Third Dream Butterfly Energy: 100%]
[Current number of dream visits: 3/3]
[The maximum time limit for simulating the future in a dream: twenty days and five hours (affected by the total amount of spiritual consciousness)]
After a year of cultivation, Jiang Chen's spiritual sense has improved considerably, and the time limit for simulating the future in his dreams has exceeded twenty days.
Three dream entry opportunities can be used together, and the dream entry time can exceed sixty-one days.
After receiving the intelligence, Jiang Chen immediately entered the dream world.
-----------------
[First day of entering the dream]
Jiang Chen immediately took the talisman and headed towards the Executive Hall on Iron Case Mountain.
Upon arriving at the Executive Hall, he paid the required amount of talismans as stipulated in the summons order, and then went to pay his respects to Guo Lang.
Upon seeing Guo Lang, before he could even ask any questions, Jiang Chen immediately took out the second-grade, low-level talisman he had drawn before entering the dream.
"Senior Brother Guo, this is a talisman I just drew. Please give me your guidance."
As the executive manager of the Talisman Hall, Guo Lang was naturally an expert in talismans.
He took the talisman and, with just a glance, discerned its quality.
"The second-grade, initial-level Golden Armor Talisman ensures smooth flow of magical power within its runes and reduces leakage of magical power."
Among ordinary talismans, this is considered quite good.
"Even a veteran Qi Refining Peak Talisman Master can only create a second-grade talisman at this level at best."
Junior Brother Zhao has considerable talent in talisman making, but the second-grade talismans he draws are still slightly inferior to this one.
"Junior Brother Jiang, did you really draw this?"
Jiang Chen smiled confidently: "Of course, I have to take a test before I come here. There's no point in fooling you."
Guo Lang nodded and immediately took out thirty talisman papers and an ounce of talisman ink.
"We are currently at wartime, and all kinds of resources need to be supplied to Changyuan Mountain. I don't have many second-grade talismans here."
You have thirty chances. If you succeed just once, you'll meet the standard. At that time, your master will see you.
Whether or not your master will accept you depends on your performance.
Jiang Chen nodded and began to draw the talisman.
Perhaps because of the change of environment and the presence of someone watching him, he failed three times in a row.
He composed himself and began drawing the fourth talisman.
This time he was calm and composed, and wrote with ease.
Before long, a talisman was finished.
The silver light on the talisman receded, but a faint golden light still flowed within the talisman's protective seal.
He picked up the talisman: "Senior Brother Guo, I've succeeded."
Guo Lang took the talisman and examined it carefully: "Not bad, the quality of this talisman is even better than the one from before."
I've never seen a Qi Refining cultivator create such a high-quality, low-level second-grade talisman before.
You're only at the eighth level of Qi Refining now, and there's still a considerable distance to go before reaching the peak of Qi Refining.
By then, you'll probably be able to draw good or even high-quality talismans.
Your talent for drawing talismans is truly rare.
To outsiders, this is talent, but only Jiang Chen himself knows that it is something he has earned through hard work and perseverance.
Over the years, he has spent a lot of time practicing drawing talismans every time he enters a dream simulation.
Since the Dream Butterfly Chart began to take effect seven years ago, he has spent several times more time drawing talismans in his dreams than in reality.
Moreover, drawing talismans in dreams does not consume resources, and he is boldly trying it out, so his progress is faster.
Guo Lang then said, "Quickly come with me to see our master."
The two left the General Affairs Office and soon arrived at the backyard of the main hall of the Talisman Hall.
At this moment, there was an old man in black with white hair and beard in the courtyard. This man was Yuanfu Zhenren, the master of the Talisman Hall and the second most important figure of the outsider faction.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a large rock, holding a bamboo pole in his hand.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that he was fishing.
However, his fish basket was empty, indicating that his fishing attempt had not been very successful.
Guo Lang immediately stepped forward, took out the talisman that Jiang Chen had just drawn, and bowed: "Master, Jiang Chen, who was recommended by Junior Brother Zhao to enter the sect two years ago, can now draw second-grade initial talismans. Please take a look."
Master Yuanfu reluctantly put down his fishing rod and accepted the talisman.
He glanced at it and his eyes lit up: "Such solid basic skills. There are indeed traces of Cheung Chau in the brushwork technique."
The quality of this talisman is considered above average among ordinary talismans. It is truly remarkable for a Qi Refining cultivator to achieve this level.
"Bring that little guy over here, I want to take a look myself."
Guo Lang waved, and Jiang Chen immediately stepped forward.
From a distance, the old man looked no different from any other fisherman.
But upon closer inspection, one can sense the terrifying fluctuations of magical power.
Jiang Chen composed himself and bowed respectfully to Master Yuanfu: "Jiang Chen, an outer disciple of the Talisman Hall, greets the Hall Master."
Master Yuanfu looked him over carefully and nodded slightly: "He is indeed a handsome man."
