We Don't Understand Talismans, but We Understand Xinghe!
Hu Buqi brought Hu Wenhai to the Vast Heaven Sect.
Hu Buqi was filled with excitement and anticipation for the Future, but compared to Hu Buqi, Hu Wenhai seemed somewhat apprehensive.
After returning home from Ice City, Hu Wenhai saw his father first lead him to kowtow to the ancestors of the Hu Lineage.
They said their ancestral graves were emitting Qingyan, because their son had actually caught the eye of Chu Xinghe.
Hu Wenhai watched as his father, who weighed over 200 pounds, cried like a giant baby.
Although his father wasn't very reliable in general, this was the first time in Hu Wenhai's life that he had ever seen his father cry like this, as the head of the Hu Lineage.
The old man kept kowtowing to his ancestors, saying that he, Hu Buqi, was not a good-for-nothing, that he, Hu Buqi, could have a son, and that his son had caught the eye of Chu Xinghe.
The Hu Lineage not only wants to restore its former glory, but also to reach new heights.
Afterwards, the old man Hu Buqi, got completely drunk, and in his dreams he kept shouting things like the Hu Lineage would rise to prominence.
Compared to his father's excitement, Hu Wenhai was somewhat apprehensive.
After all, although Chu Xinghe is famous, as the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and it seems that Chu Xinghe doesn't know much about talismans.
Moreover, the Vast Heaven Sect, one of the Ten Great Sects, is not known for its talismans.
Will I truly achieve something after joining the Vast Heaven Sect?
Hu Wenhai also had some minor concerns. Although Chu Xinghe had a great reputation, he shouldn't forget that Chu Xinghe was still just a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect.
His special recruitment into the Vast Heaven Sect by Chu Xinghe had already caused quite a stir.
Will I be treated coldly by the Vast Heaven Sect because of this?
After all, Hu Wenhai had heard that disciples of some major sects tend to stick together.
Disciples who enter the sect at the same time tend to have better relationships, while they tend to be more resistant to specially recruited disciples.
Will I, a specially recruited student, be isolated?
Therefore, Hu Wenhai was very uneasy throughout the journey.
But all of that vanished the moment they arrived at the gates of the Vast Heaven Sect.
When the old man presented the Hu Lineage patriarch's token to the disciples guarding the mountain of the Vast Heaven Sect to inform them of the purpose of their visit, the disciples, who had been looking serious, instantly put on smiling faces.
Then he kept calling Hu Wenhai "Junior Brother Wenhai," which completely baffled Hu Wenhai.
Forget about rejection; their closeness even made Hu Wenhai wonder if he had truly arrived at the Vast Heaven Sect in the world. Could he have come to the wrong place?
Guided by the disciples guarding the mountain, Hu Wenhai followed his father all the way to the Spirit Crane Palace of the Vast Heaven Sect.
Although the Hu Lineage has declined, it was once a renowned Lineage throughout the land.
As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Hu Wenhai considered himself to be a worldly man.
Even so, Hu Wenhai was visiting Spirit Crane Palace the first time, was still amazed by its grandeur.
Is this the legendary Spirit Crane Palace?
Afterwards, the Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Sect personally received the father and son. When Hu Wenhai saw this world-renowned Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Sect, Hu Wenhai was still somewhat intimidated.
The elder's imposing presence, though not angry, made Hu Wenhai keep his head down, not daring to look at him even once.
Even the usually sociable father looked terrified when facing the Grand Elder.
Hu Wenhai was extremely worried at this moment.
Although each sect has specially recruited disciples, under normal circumstances, specially recruited disciples are those whose talents are recognized by a certain elder, and who then specially recruits them into the sect to study under that elder.
However, Hu Wenhai was not specially recruited by the elders, but by Chu Xinghe, a disciple.
So in this situation, which house will you be assigned to?
The Vast Heaven Sect doesn't have any palaces specializing in talismans. Could this lead to an awkward situation where other palaces are simply unwilling to accept their disciples?
Just as Hu Wenhai was filled with worry, a large group of people suddenly arrived outside.
Although Hu Wenhai didn't recognize who the newcomers were, he immediately realized from their clothes that they were extraordinary people.
Because everyone who came was wearing the robes of the chief elder of the Vast Heaven Sect.
Hu Buqi was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the heads of the various palaces.
It should be noted that any one of these chief elders is a top figure on the Heavenly Dao Ranking. Although Hu Buqi is the head of the Hu Lineage, this is the first time in his life that he has seen so many powerful figures on the Heavenly Dao Ranking at the same time.
Just as Hu Buqi was wondering why the heads of the various palaces of the Vast Heaven Sect would suddenly appear here, Elder He, the head of the Thunder Palace who was walking at the front, spoke up.
"Gentlemen, none of you are skilled in talismans, so this disciple specially recruited by Xinghe will be mine, Old He. I, Old He, am unparalleled in my eclectic knowledge, and I am quite proficient in talismans."
"Bah! Elder He, have you no shame? Don't we know your miscellaneous skills? You've only studied talismans for five days, and you dare to call yourself an expert?"
"Elder Yu is right. Elder He knows nothing about talismans. He should come to our Everlasting Spring Palace instead. Although we at the Everlasting Spring Palace don't understand talismans, we have a considerable collection of talisman texts."
"Everlasting Spring Palace only has three talisman manuals in total, and I saw them all last time..."
"Our Frigid Ice Palace's hidden weapons and talismans have some connection, so Hu Wenhai is qualified to join our Frigid Ice Palace this time."
"When did the Frigid Ice Palace become so shameless? Tell me how you have the nerve to say that hidden weapons and talismans are related?"
"Let's set aside whether our Frigid Ice Palace's hidden weapons have any connection to talismans, your Hill Forest Palace is all female disciples, what are you doing here getting involved?"
"What do you mean by that Frigid Ice Palace? When did our Hill Forest Palace ever say we only accept female disciples? What? You said that before? Well, we've changed our minds now!"
The group of chiefs who rushed in started talking all at once, but their words left Hu Buqi and his son completely bewildered.
Just moments before, both father and son were worried about which palace Hu Wenhai would enter after joining the Vast Heaven Sect.
After all, Hu Wenhai specializes in talismans, Vast Heaven Sect doesn't have a palace specializing in talismans. In this situation, is it possible that none of the palaces will want him?
But what the hell is this?
The heads of all the palaces of the Vast Heaven Sect have appeared here, ready to seize disciples at the slightest disagreement?
Hu Buqi was dumbfounded... Although my son is very outstanding, he doesn't seem to be outstanding enough to make the heads of the various palaces of the Vast Heaven Sect so desperately vying for him, does he?
At this moment, the heads of each palace were arguing heatedly, even the Hill Forest Palace, which consisted entirely of female disciples, refused to yield an inch.
There was no way to keep the news of Hu Buqi and his son entering the Vast Heaven Sect today a secret.
The news that Xinghe had specially recruited a talisman genius in Ice City was already known to all the palaces.
Although each palace knows very well that they don't understand talismans, we do understand the Xinghe!
Look at what has become of the people specially recruited by Xinghe!
The Muyue Kingdom was recruited by Xinghe, right? Now, thanks to the Crystal of Xinghe that Mu Bai and his team researched, look how rich the Spirit Crane Palace has become.
Feng Yuzheng also specially recruited by Xinghe, right? After a batch of Flute of Space and Time were sent out last time, all parties really tasted the benefits of the Flute of Space and Time after using it. Now the Flute of Space and Time is selling for an astronomical price, and it's not something you can buy just because you have money. You have to have an extremely good relationship with the Vast Heaven Sect to be qualified to buy it.
And then there's Wang Tieniu, who was also promoted by Xinghe, right? Now Tieniu's Stone-Pointing Art is completely invincible. I heard that Tieniu has even started researching Spirit Stone Regeneration Art. If he succeeds, the entire world order will be changed.
And then there's the Ouyang Lineage... never mind... let's not talk about the Ouyang Lineage... anyway, every single talent discovered by Xinghe has made a fortune.
Therefore, when we heard about Hu Wenhai, this specially recruited disciple, our first reaction was that we had to win him over.
What? You're saying we don't understand talismans?
We don't understand talismans, but like I said, we understand the Xinghe too well.
Hu Wenhai, whom Xinghe discovered, understands talismans or not is irrelevant. As long as Xinghe has some time, Xinghe will surely be able to cultivate Hu Wenhai into the King of Talismans.
Talismans are closely related to all aspects of life. Are you just taking on a disciple right now?
You've essentially brought a talisman king into your own palace ahead of time. Regardless of who accepts him, wouldn't your palace then have an extra talismanic ability in the future?
Is this about taking on disciples? This is simply a way to improve one's own abilities.
So how could the various houses possibly let such an opportunity slip by?
Even the head of the Hill Forest Palace has arrived... The scene of the heads of various palaces frantically vying for disciples left Hu Buqi and his son completely dumbfounded.
One second they were worried that none of the palaces would want them, but the next second they realized they had been overthinking it.
Even Hu Buqi began to ponder at this moment. Although his son was very, very outstanding, Hu Buqi never dreamed that his son could be this outstanding.
The fact that the heads of all the palaces in the Vast Heaven Sect are vying for power is enough for the Hu Lineage to boast about for a hundred years.
Just as the heads of the various palaces were arguing fiercely, Chu Xinghe followed his Senior Brother Shen Chun into the room.
Chu Xinghe was stunned the moment he entered the door.
What's going on? Why do you all look like you're about to fight?
But Chu Xinghe quickly figured out what was going on at the scene.
Are the heads of the various palaces frantically vying for talent?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
Others might not know Hu Wenhai's situation, but surely I do.
Hu Wenhai knows absolutely nothing about talismans... His talent is mainly speed, okay... But what does speed have to do with talismans?
Just as Chu Xinghe bewildered, the heads of all the palaces suddenly surrounded him.
At this moment, a group of senior elders were all talking at once, expressing their determination to have Hu Wenhai join their ranks.
Elder He even stated on the spot that as long as Hu Wenhai joins Thunder Palace will provide all its resources to fully support Hu Wenhai's path of talisman development.
The other palace chiefs were not to be outdone, each putting in their best efforts to express their full support for Hu Wenhai.
But upon hearing the words of the heads of the various palaces, Chu Xinghe burst into tears.
Elders, you're really overthinking this. Did I recruit Hu Wenhai to develop talisman techniques?
My main goal is to use up some sect resources, okay?
Are you still entrusting me with your full training?
Did you even consider my feelings, Chu Xinghe, when you said that?
If you were to put all your efforts into training this person, and then create another King of Talismans for me, how would I possibly pass muster?
So Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and spoke directly.
"Elders, please be patient. As the saying goes, make the best use of everything and everyone's abilities. Hu Wenhai should go to the Dark Moon Palace to study!"
