After half a year.

Lingxiao Mountain Halfway up the mountain, in a quiet courtyard shrouded in clouds and mist, a middle-aged man with a simple face was sitting in front of a small table, holding a talisman pen tightly and drawing breathlessly on a blank Talisman Paper placed on the small table.

After about a stick of incense, when the blank Talisman Paper was filled with talisman patterns, the honest middle-aged man picked up the talisman pen.

The next moment, all the talisman patterns on the Talisman Paper all flashed red and merged into a whole as if they were completely natural.

The honest middle-aged man looked slightly happy when he saw this scene.

"Another Fireball Talisman."

With a sigh of joy, he also put away the newly drawn Fireball Talisman, pulled out a blank Talisman Paper from the dozen Talisman Paper in the upper left corner of the small table, and used the talisman pen in his hand to lightly touch the small plate Talisman Ink placed in the upper right corner.

Then I started writing on the blank Talisman Paper, and started to write like a dragon or a snake.

The whole process went smoothly without any stagnation.

Several hours later, when the man had exhausted all the dozen blank Talisman Paper placed on the left foot of the small table, he stopped drawing.

On the small table in front of the middle-aged man, there are five Fireball Talisman of good quality.

Looking at the five Fireball Talismans on the small table, the middle-aged man's face showed a hint of joy and he murmured to himself.

"In the past two days, I have been refining Fireball Talisman, and every ten pieces can be turned into five talismans. It is basically certain that my success rate in refining this talisman is as high as 50%."

"This is a good thing. This will not only stabilize my position in the Ling Clan and make Ling Clan reluctant to touch me, but I can also earn more resources by drawing this talisman."

Thinking of this, he suddenly burst into laughter.

This honest middle-aged man was the "Zhu Wen" who failed to intercept Ling Pengyun, but was captured alive by Ling Pengyun, taken back to the Ling Clan and imprisoned as a black slave, drawing Spirit Talisman Cave for the Ling Clan all day long.

Zhu Wen was overjoyed, then stood up, walked out of the quiet room, came to the center of the courtyard, waved his hand and fired a stream of spiritual power, touching the thick white mist that enveloped the entire courtyard.

The thick white fog was touched by the spiritual power, and with a flash of spiritual light, formations appeared, making the thick fog covering the courtyard a little thicker.

Zhu Wen was not surprised when he saw this.

That layer of thick fog was transformed from an First Rank Low Grade by an Bewildering Formation, which was specially used by the Ling Clan to trap Zhu Wen in this courtyard.

In order to prevent Zhu Wen, who is Talisman Crafter, from helping Ling Clan in the process of refining Spirit Talisman Cave, bringing many Spirit Talisman Cave to harm the Early-Stage Qi Training clan members who are not very strong within Ling Clan Mountain.

In addition to this Bewildering Formation, there is also a First Rank Middle Grade and Image Recording Array arranged in the Zhu Wen courtyard.

Image Recording Array can record what happens in the array. This array Principle is used by the Ling Clan to supervise the number of Zhu Wen drawing Spirit Talisman Cave, and to prevent Zhu Wen from hiding it secretly while helping Ling Clan draw Spirit Talisman Cave.

Zhu Wen touched the thick layer of white fog that shrouded the courtyard. After waiting for about half a stick of incense, the thick layer of fog suddenly dispersed, leaving a small corridor.

After a while, a rickety old man wearing Ling Clan Daoist Robe entered the courtyard where Zhu Wen was located from this small passage and walked up to Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen was a little surprised to see this person.

"Senior Ling, why are you here to hand over the successful drawing of Fireball Talisman to me? Aren't you all Daoist Ling Pengliang in the past?"

Ever since he officially accepted Ling Clan's commission to refine Spirit Talisman Cave during the Demon Beast Uprising period, and was trapped in this courtyard by the Ling Clan, the Spirit Talisman Cave he drew has always been traded with the current Ling Clan generation Great Elder Ling Pengliang.

But the rickety old man in front of him is the previous generation Great Elder Ling Ruxian who has long been relegated to the second line due to his short lifespan.

Although Zhu Wen was captured alive in Ling Clan Mountain for more than ten years, he had little contact with the Ling Clan people. However, during the time when he was captured alive in Ling Clan Mountain, Ling Ruxian was still working at the Affairs Hall, so he also knew Ling Ruxian.

"Peng Liang has other affairs to show up again. In the next few months, I will be responsible for handing over the drawing of Spirit Talisman Cave's affairs to you."

"This time you touched the fog that was transformed into the Bewildering Formation around the courtyard, but did you draw the Fireball Talisman that I, Ling Clan, commissioned you to draw this month?" Ling Ruxian didn't want to answer Zhu Wen's answer. After a simple perfunctory sentence, he said.

Zhu Wen felt strange after listening to Ling Ruxian's explanation.

Ling Clan belongs to the Foundation Establishment family, and the position of Great Elder is the top priority. If Ling Ruxian replaces Ling Clan, the current Great Elder Ling Pengliang will only hand over Spirit Talisman Cave to him this time, he will not feel anything.

But in the next few months, Ling Ruxian would come to him to hand over the Spirit Talisman Cave affairs, which contained a lot of information.

"Then Ling Pengliang, as Ling Clan Great Elder, is in charge of the Ling Clan's affairs and rarely goes out."

"Now that Demon Beast Uprising has ended, it is even more impossible for Ling Pengliang to be out Ling Clan for several months."

Zhu Wen was thinking a lot, thinking that when Ling Pengliang came to hand over Spirit Talisman Cave affairs to him last month, Ling Pengliang was about to get involved in Qi Training Completion's affairs.

"It turns out to be Foundation Establishment. No wonder Ling Pengliang has had difficulty coming to me to hand over Spirit Talisman Cave's affairs in person for several months."

"However, this Ling Clan is really capable."

"With my qualifications and age, I have no chance of Foundation Establishment in this life. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to get out of Ling Clan Mountain in this life."

"Hey."

Zhu Wen sighed softly, came to his senses, waved his hand and patted Storage Bag on his waist, calling out five dozen Fireball Talisman and handing them to Ling Ruxian in front of him.

Then, he forced a smile and took the initiative to tell the story about the improvement in the success rate of drawing Spirit Talisman Cave.

"Moreover, relying on the insights left by the talisman makers recorded in your family's talisman inheritance, and with the help of hundreds of talisman papers provided by the Qin Ling family every month, my success rate in drawing the fireball talisman has reached 50%."

"And at the beginning of this month, of the hundred blank Talisman Paper that you Ling Clan gave me, I refined a total of forty-five Fireball Talisman."

"Is what Zhu Daoyou said true?" Ling Ruxian looked slightly shocked when he heard that the probability of Zhu Wen drawing Fireball Talisman had increased to 50%.

The 50% probability of drawing Fireball Talisman is not low. If Talisman Crafter has such a success rate, it means that Talisman Crafter has reached a high level in drawing that kind of Spirit Talisman Cave.

Generally, this level is not something ordinary First Rank Low Grade Talisman Crafter can achieve.

"Of course, if Senior Ling doesn't believe it, you can count the forty-five Fireball Talisman I drew this month. If there is no 50% success rate, it will be difficult to draw forty-five Fireball Talisman from a hundred blank Talisman Paper."

"Furthermore, senior, you can also use the Image Recording Array that your Lineage has arranged around my courtyard to call up the images I have drawn Fireball Talisman in recent days, and everything will be clear." Zhu Wen said with a smile.

Ling Ruxian saw that Zhu Wen looked so confident, and the number of Fireball Talisman drawn by Zhu Wen this month was indeed several more than before, so he somewhat believed what Zhu Wen said.

However, in order to confirm this, after taking the forty-five Fireball Talisman handed over by Zhu Wen, he still summoned the Image Recording Array formation disks arranged around the courtyard where Zhu Wen was located from Storage Bag.

The array plate of Image Recording Array is somewhat special, it is in the shape of a bronze mirror.

Ling Ruxian pinched Method Formula and punched it into the array disk, and images suddenly appeared on the surface of the array disk.

After watching it for several hours, Ling Ruxian quickly went through the entire process of Zhu Wen drawing Spirit Talisman Cave in recent days, and then confirmed what Zhu Wen just said about the success rate of drawing Fireball Talisman reaching 50%.

Afterwards, Ling Ruxian thought carefully about the fact that Zhu Wen had a 50% success rate in drawing Fireball Talisman, and then he spoke.

"Fellow Daoist has such a success rate in drawing Fireball Talisman. I think you have achieved a lot in Spirit Talisman Cave."

"I, Ling Clan, also want to train fellow Daoists, so I plan to take out an additional hundred First Rank Middle Grade blank Talisman Paper to support fellow daoists, and let you draw the Fire Arrow Talisman of Fire Element Spirit Talisman Cave First Rank Middle Grade that you are best at."

"If you, fellow Daoist, rely on my Ling Clan to support you with hundreds of First Rank Middle Grade blank Talisman Paper, you can draw Fire Arrow Talisman. I, Ling Clan, am willing to buy it from fellow Daoist at the price of ten pieces of Spirit Stone each."

"However, this move will make fellow Daoist a little tired. After all, I, Ling Clan, will still entrust fellow Daoist to help me Ling Clan refine Fireball Talisman every month in the future."

On the market, the price of one Fire Arrow Talisman is five Spirit Stone.

The reason why Fire Arrow Talisman drawn by Zhu Wen is purchased at the price of ten Spirit Stone for one Fire Arrow Talisman is to increase Zhu Wen's enthusiasm for drawing Fire Arrow Talisman.

The Cultivation Method modified by Zhu Wen is of the fire attribute. The control of the fire attribute Spiritual Qi is somewhat stronger than the other four Five Phases Spiritual Qi. It is also helpful for drawing Fire Element Spirit Talisman Cave.

Therefore, Zhu Wen mainly focuses on Fire Element Spirit Talisman Cave, and he rarely draws other common water, wood, earth, Jin Si attributes Spirit Talisman Cave.

"Junior is not afraid of being tired. Thank you, Senior Ling, for your consideration." Zhu Wen looked overjoyed upon hearing this proposal and agreed immediately.

The reason why he took the initiative to reveal the improvement in the success rate of drawing Fireball Talisman just now was because he was waiting for this moment.

Now that Demon Beast Uprising is over, the Ling Clan people can equip themselves with a large number of Fireball Talisman that he refined to protect against Demon Beast.

The Fireball Talisman he refined is of a lower grade and is still difficult to sell on the market.

In addition, Ling Clan is not without Talisman Crafter, if not for Demon Beast Uprising and too many Demon Beast invading the territory of the Ling Clan.

I'm afraid Zhu Wen is still working as an illegal worker, earning a basic salary, constantly using Demon Beast leather to refine Ling Clan into blank Talisman Paper day and night.

Under such circumstances, if he does not show more value to the Ling Clan, his situation will not be good.

After all, in this world, no one wants to support idle people.

Ling Ruxian saw Zhu Wen's response, which was expected.

There was also a smile on his face, and after taking back the five dozen Spirit Talisman Cave that Zhu Wen had just handed to Storage Bag, he took out a hundred blank Talisman Paper from Storage Bag and handed it to Zhu Wen in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, if you want to thank me, thank me Ling Clan for showing great importance to you."

"These hundred First Rank Low Grade blank Talisman Paper are the spiritual materials I, Ling Clan, entrust you with to refine Fireball Talisman next month."

"As for the hundred First Rank Middle Grade blank Talisman Paper that I, Ling Clan, helped you with, I don't have them with me. Please wait for me for a moment."

After saying this, Ling Ruxian slowly relied on the fog array in his hand, passed through the thick fog that enveloped Zhu Wen's courtyard, and left the place.

When he returned here, he also handed over to Zhu Wen the hundred pieces of first-class middle-grade blank talisman papers that he had just promised to fund.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I'll start with the ugly words. If you don't draw more than five Fire Arrow Talismans based on these hundred First Rank Middle Grade blank Talisman Papers, your offerings to me Ling Clans for drawing Spirit Talisman Caves in the future will also be reduced by 30%." Ling Ruxian said solemnly.

Zhu Wen, who had just received the hundred First Rank Middle Grade blank Talisman Paper, with a face full of joy, didn't care when he heard this, he said with confidence.

"Please rest assured, Senior Ling, I am still confident of the half-percent success rate in refining Fire Arrow Talisman."

"I hope so." Upon seeing this, Ling Ruxian responded without emotion and left the place.

Zhu Wen then returned to a quiet room in the courtyard and tried to draw First Rank Middle Grade Fire Arrow Talisman using the hundred First Rank Middle Grade blanks Talisman Paper he had just obtained.

If Fire Arrow Talisman can be drawn, one piece will cost ten pieces of Spirit Stone.

He is not far from the Qi Training Sixth Layer peak now. If he has enough elixirs to help him, he can reach the Qi Training Sixth Layer peak in a few months and reach the Qi Training Seventh Layer bottleneck.

At that time, he can also ask Ling Clan for the First-Tier Superior-Grade that was originally promised to him Miasma Breaking Pill, and then rely on this elixir to directly break through to Qi Training Seventh Layer, entering the elite level "Qi Training Late Stage" in Qi Training Stage. He will also have more resources to save his life in the Ling Clan.
