Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The profoundness of special spirit runes lay in their complexity. Especially when two, three, or even more were combined, it was as difficult to understand as a heavenly book. Back when Perfected Yun Ya cultivated the Talisman Scripture, he spent a total of 30 years on the first threshold.

Soon, twenty special spirit patterns appeared on the jade table talisman. What was intercepted was the beginning volume. The talisman brush stopped. Perfected Yun Ya said gently, “Talisman Master Shen, please!”

Shen Ping was stunned. Then, he walked to Perfected Yun Ya’s side. He stood in front of the jade table. He calmed his mind and prayed. Immediately, there was nothing else in the surroundings except for the talisman paper.

Pei Huoyu walked over and sent a voice transmission. “Senior Brother Yun Ya, he has only cultivated for less than a month. Isn’t it a little too fast for you to ask him to make special spirit runes?”

Perfected Yun Ya maintained his gentle smile. “Junior Sister Huoyu, please don’t interfere with my teachings. This is the most basic respect for a Talisman Master.”

“Sorry.” Pei Huoyu hurriedly said.

Perfected Yun Ya looked at Shen Ping. “The first time you make a special spirit rune, you will definitely fail. However, you can see the degree of control a talisman master has. Ordinary talisman masters only need to make talismans over time to have good control. However, it’s different when they encounter a special spirit rune. This was once Master’s…”

Halfway through the voice transmission, it stopped abruptly. Perfected Yun Ya looked at the two special spirit patterns outlined on the jade table talisman and his eyes revealed a hint of shock.

It was difficult to understand each special spirit rune just by looking at it, let alone accurately outline it. As for the various combinations of spirit runes, one had to first understand the diagram structure of the talisman that was formed by their essence. Only then could they use this foundation to outline each special spirit rune according to the diagram. Only then could they succeed.

The pattern revealed by the 20 special spirit runes in front of him was a pattern of a strange beast in the beginning volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture.

If he couldn’t tell, then he would fail to outline any one of the twenty. But now, Talisman Master Shen has succeeded. As long as nothing went wrong with the spirit rune at the back, he would be able to create this pattern. He looked at Shen Ping, who was completely immersed in creating talismans.

Perfected Yun Ya stood on the spot without moving. However, the ripples on his elegant face rose and fell until he was shocked.

Pei Huoyu realized that something was wrong. She understood Senior Brother Yun Ya. The latter rarely showed such emotions. However, she did not transmit her voice. Instead, she looked at the increasing number of special spirit patterns on the jade table talisman like Perfected Yun Ya.

The spirit tea turned cold.

The 20 special spirit patterns on the talisman paper had already been outlined.

Shen Ping stopped writing. He heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a satisfied expression. Although he had made talismans many times, no one could guarantee that he would succeed every time. He turned around, and said respectfully, “Senior Yun Ya, my skills are still shallow. If I have any shortcomings, please guide me.”

Perfected Yun Ya raised his hand and the shock on his face slowly dissipated. The talisman fell into his palm. He scanned it seriously. Then, he said with a gentle smile, “Talisman Master Shen, have you tried to outline special spirit runes before?”

“Senior, you have a discerning eye. 1 have indeed tried.” Shen Ping replied truthfully.

Perfected Yun Ya came to a realization and asked after a moment of silence, “Have you cultivated the Talisman Scripture before this?”

“Never.”

“Do you understand the beginning volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture?”

“I understand.”

As soon as he finished speaking. Perfected Yun Ya’s heart skipped a beat and he could not help but ask, “What beast form is it?”

“Bronze Strange Beast Pattern.”

Perfected Yun Ya’s eyes were dazzling as he asked word by word, “Then… has Talisman Master Shen tried to make bronze strange beast pattern talismans?” “There was an attempt.”

“Was it successful?”

“It is.”

Perfected Yun Ya smiled, but his smile was trembling. The Talisman Beast Scripture bestowed by the headquarters to new core members of Talisman Masters only required them to be able to outline three patterns, which was 60 special spiritual marks.

As for understanding the beast talisman at the beginning of the scroll, it would have to be nurtured by the headquarters for a period of time before it could reach this level.

But this person in front of him could actually successfully make a strange beast pattern talisman! He was only at the second level of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm during the headquarters assessment.

Even if he had really studied and cultivated the Talisman Scripture before, he could definitely be considered a true Talisman Dao genius at this age.

“Talisman Master Shen, let me ask you, do you…”

Perfected Yun Ya had just spoken when Pei Huoyu went forward and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen, have you studied and cultivated the Green Talisman Sutra I gave you?”

Shen Ping vaguely sensed something. He hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ve already cultivated the first volume.”

Pei Huoyu’s valiant face instantly bloomed with a moving smile. She walked in front of Shen Ping, and the natural curves of her light armor were just inches away. “Senior Brother Yun Ya, it’s getting late. We’ll visit another day.”

“Halt!” Perfected Yun Ya’s Nascent Soul,magic powers enveloped the pavilion, and a rare hint of urgency appeared on his refined face. “When did you give him the Green Talisman Sutra? Also, he’s a talisman master and specializes in his skills. Only 1 can teach him properly.”

Pei Huoyu glanced at Perfected Yun Ya.

Perfected Yun Ya gritted his teeth and sent a voice transmission. “Junior Sister Huoyu, it hasn’t even been a year since you competed for the position of Dao Protector. The Green Talisman Sutra is a talisman scripture of our Mountain Fire Hall. In other words, he cultivated the first volume in less than a year. If such talent in the Dao of Talismans is given to you, he will be completely crippled!

“On the account that we’ve been senior brother and sister for so many years, as long as you let me teach him, I’ll return the original number you promised me previously!”

Pei Huoyu was silent for a moment before saying, “Senior Brother Yun Ya, Fellow Daoist Shen received 100,000 contribution points for the first time. You should know what this means. Previously, I thought that he was born with a Talisman Dao Mystique, so I invited you over. But now, you’ve confirmed… that he’s a true Talisman Dao genius!

“If he acknowledges you as his master, what resources can you give him when we reach the headquarters?”

Perfected Yun Ya was stunned. One hundred thousand contribution points. This was not something that ordinary A-listers could obtain. Only the candidates on the A-rank in the past could obtain so many contribution points.

He came back to his senses.

Perfected Yun Ya revealed a helpless expression. “Junior Sister Huoyu, I got anxious. What a pity… Forget it. In the end, we don’t have the fate of master and disciple. However, in this year, I’m at least his guide in the Dao of Talismans.” Speaking of this, he regained his elegant and gentle smile.

Pei Huoyu said, “Thank you, Senior Brother Yun Ya. No matter what happens in the future, 1 owe you a favor.”

The two of them ended the transmission.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, let’s go.”

Light flashed. The cloud boat quickly left Little Spirit Peak.

On the way back to Qingyang City, Shen Ping asked, “Senior Pei, at the pavilion, Senior Yun Ya seemed to have the intention to take me in as his disciple.”

Pei Huoyu nodded. “That’s indeed his intention. However, you have to be careful about becoming a disciple. Now is not the time. It won’t be too late for you to become a disciple after you head to the headquarters in 15 years and re-evaluate the core level.”

At the same time that Shen Ping came to a realization, Pei Huoyu’s voice sounded in his ears again. “Perfected Yun Ya has given you guidance, but the situation in the various halls of the True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters is complicated, especially the core members. Their interests are deeply involved. I didn’t expect you to have such talent in the Dao of Talismans and have even absorbed the complete blood of a strange beast. Once the evaluation is re-evaluated, you will have a chance to break through to the B-rank core!

“Do you remember the restricted resources 1 told you about? Only B-rank cores can come into contact with it. C and D can only come into contact with resources of the next level.”

As she spoke, Pei Huoyu looked at Shen Ping and said seriously, “You’re also a core member, but the difference is like the difference between heaven and earth. The core members above B-rank are the various geniuses that the True Treasure Pavilion has nurtured with all its might. If you succeed, you’ll need a lot of support behind you.

“However, if you want to break through to the B-rank core, even your current level is far from enough. Therefore, these fifteen years are very important.” Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “I understand!”

He returned to the small courtyard in Tongquan Alley. The sunset in the sky dyed half the sky red. There seemed to be colorful clouds rising in the light. He stepped past the entrance of the courtyard.

Just as he was about to go to the talisman making room, he stopped and looked at the door of the hall.

There was a familiar figure there..
