Zhou Ganyuan is heading towards Zheng Fa's home. Over the past month, he has been coming to discuss Talisman Arts with Zheng Fa every now and then.

In fact, the gain is not much.

He knew that this was because his Talisman Arts attainments were not enough.

He had just started to learn Master's Talisman Dao, and there were very few things he could discuss with Zheng Fa.

Similarly, he also understood Zheng Fa's character - this is a person who doesn't let go of eagles when he sees rabbits.

In his communication, Zheng Fa obviously had reservations.

But even so, he was still impressed by some of Zheng Fa's ideas, and some of Zheng Fa's words sometimes made him feel enlightened and eye-opening.

If he hadn't felt rude, he would have even wanted to run towards Zheng Fa's house every day.

He is not alone today.

"Junior Brother Zhou, if you have any questions, just ask us senior brothers. Why don't we teach you?" Sun Daoyu beside him said in a helpless tone, "What's the matter with running to Zheng Fa all the time?"

"Brother, Master has agreed."

"Yes, Master is open-minded." Sun Daoyu nodded and said, "But not everyone has this open-mindedness. If you do this, I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of our fellow brothers and sisters."

"..."

Zhou Ganyuan is silent.

Sun Daoyu sighed and said, "I know that in the eyes of Master, the relationship between our two families is just a joke, but... how can a joke be able to carry away the grudges and resentments of these decades?"

"Brother, I don't want to get involved in these things..."

Zhou Ganyuan's tone revealed a hint of fatigue.

"I know, I know you are devoted to the Tao, and I also hope that you will become the pillar of our lineage in the future..." Sun Daoyu grinned. "But not everyone understands you, do you know that the senior brothers in our lineage have already complained about you?"

"... what did they say?"

"They said they were cheating and taking Master's Talisman Dao to make friends with Senior Sister Zhang people. If Master hadn't valued you, I'm afraid they would have made trouble for you."

"Senior brother, do you think so too?"

"I've led you all the way, how can I not understand you?" Sun Daoyu patted him and said sternly, "But junior fellow apprentices can't do things based on their own will. If you don't want to isolate yourself from senior fellow apprentices, you should think more carefully."

"I've thought about it a long time ago." Zhou Ganyuan raised his eyes and looked at his senior brother. "I was taught by my master. It's my senior brother who has been taking care of me... As long as you two don't stop me, I can't care what other people think."

"Junior brother, you..."

"Senior brother, I am not cultivating immortality for the powerful, nor am I cultivating immortality for them."

"..." Sun Daoyu was silent for a while, and finally said, "I will go and explain to the senior brothers for you. We are of the same lineage, and it is always not good to have a quarrel. Also, I would like to advise you again, no matter how powerful you think Zheng Fa's Talisman Dao is, Master's secret transmission cannot be passed on! If you pass it on, I will no longer be able to change it for you!"

"I have already asked Master for instructions, and Master said <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye> can also be passed on to him."

"This... Master actually compares him with Senior Sister Zhang?" Sun Daoyu looked puzzled. "Yes, Zheng Fa is Ten-Thousand-Year Talisman Arts's first, he I agree that Talisman Arts is awesome! But <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye> is a secret passed down by Master. He is only twenty years old and has only been in the profession for two months. He is also a Dual-Spirit Root... Master actually likes him too?"

He was the one who passed <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye> to Senior Sister Zhang in the first place. Of course he knew what Master meant when he passed it to Zheng Fa <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye> - can you call me Master?

Zhou Ganyuan looked at Sun Daoyu and knew that this person probably felt that Zheng Fa's qualifications were a bit low - it was just because the master was inconvenient to say it out loud.

Zheng Fa home.

As soon as Origin-Consolidating Pill entered his mouth, it turned into a warm current, which followed Zheng Fa's esophagus and reached his abdomen.

Zheng Fa Divine Sense landed at Dantian in the body and began to control the spiritual powers, trying to make them condense into Upright Shadowless Talisman according to his wishes.

He was a little nervous.

According to <Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method>, this step is the difficult point in condensing Talisman Diagram.

After all, Qi Refining Realm monk's Divine Sense is weak and his ability to control spiritual power is not strong.

Drawing Talisman Diagram in Dantian is very difficult for them.

Even geniuses like Senior Sister Zhang were quite upset at this point in their records, saying that they had moments when Divine Sense was exhausted, Talisman Diagram failed, and then completely collapsed.

And if this step fails, then this Origin-Consolidating Pill will be wasted.

That's twenty Spirit Stone!

But as soon as Zheng Fa tried it-oh? That's it?

He looked at Dantian and said it was perfect Upright Shadowless Talisman.

Feeling that I am still full of Divine Sense.

I couldn't help but feel a little proud - well, why am I not considered a genius?

After Upright Shadowless Talisman is condensed, it will automatically fall into Dantian.

My own Dantian is quite lively now.

Not to mention spiritual power.

There was a group of Azure Yang Energy entrenched here before.

Now there is another Upright Shadowless Talisman.

Azure Yang Energy has always been very cold, and now he doesn't care about the other two at all.

But Upright Shadowless Talisman and spiritual power have the same origin, and they are very close to each other at this moment.

In the record of <Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method>, the Upright Shadowless Talisman he just condensed is not stable.

If he now relies on this Talisman Diagram talisman-free paper to draw talismans, in addition to consuming his spiritual power, he will also consume the Talisman Diagram himself.

After three times, it will dissipate - there is no remedy. As long as you cast the spell no more than three times and let the Talisman Diagram that has not completely dissipated absorb spiritual power during practice, it will be able to repair itself.

If you want to cast spells without any restrictions like Senior Sister Zhang, you have to cast Origin Talisman Dao Foundation.

After condensing Upright Shadowless Talisman, Zheng Fa felt the power of <Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method>--

When monks practice, Divine Soul will be released involuntarily, and so will Zheng Fa.

This was nothing at first, but now Upright Shadowless Talisman is absorbing the corresponding Talisman Diagram within his Divine Soul range.

These Talisman Diagram entered his Dantian and turned into Spiritual Qi.

Zheng Fa estimated that his cultivation speed was nearly 10% faster!

If Origin Talisman Dao Foundation condenses, wouldn't the cultivation speed be doubled?

Only then did Zheng Fa understand why Senior Sister Zhang claimed that Hundred Immortals Alliance was the fastest Foundation Establishment - she was cheating!

At this moment, Zheng Fa felt the spiritual power in his body tremble slightly.

His body was like a funnel absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the outside world, causing the Spiritual Qi above the room to form a small vortex.

Not far outside the yard, Zhou Ganyuan and Sun Daoyu looked up at the fleeting Spiritual Qi vortex in the sky, and stopped for a moment.

"Senior brother... this is?" Zhou Ganyuan had some guesses in his mind, but he was just not sure.

"Breakthrough." Sun Daoyu was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "He was Qi Refinement First Layer before?"

"Yes."

"How long did he start, less than two months?" Sun Daoyu thought for a long time, "Dual-Spirit Root, he broke through to Qi Refinement Second Layer in less than two months? Junior brother, how long did it take for you to break through?"

"Me?" Zhou Ganyuan asked doubtfully, "Senior brother, don't you know? I broke through half a month ago."

"You are Metal Spirit Root plus Geng Metal Dao Body. They complement each other to be so fast..." Sun Daoyu shook his head slightly and said, "This Zheng Fa is not much slower than the ordinary Single-Spirit Root."

Zhou Ganyuan watched his senior brother's expression change, as if he was thinking about something.

As Spiritual Qi above Zheng Family gradually calmed down, Zhou Ganyuan knew that Zheng Fa had quit practicing.

He walked to the courtyard door and knocked on the Zheng Family's courtyard door.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you are here." Zheng Fa was not surprised when he saw Zhou Ganyuan, but the Sun Daoyu behind Zhou Ganyuan made him a little surprised and said hello, "Senior Brother Sun?"

"The two of us happened to see your breakthrough, junior brother, outside, so we came here to congratulate you." Sun Daoyu handed over his hands and smiled at Zheng Fa.

The smile on his face was much more sincere than the last time he saw Zheng Fa.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior brother." Zheng Fa invited the two of them to the courtyard and looked at Zhou Ganyuan.

Zhou Ganyuan looked at Zheng Fa, then at Sun Daoyu.

There was a little hesitation in his heart - he wanted to talk about <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye>, but he also understood that Sun Daoyu was against it.

In front of Senior Brother Sun, he didn't know how to speak.

"Junior Brother Zhou?"

Zheng Fa asked softly.

"Cough!" Sun Daoyu coughed lightly and suddenly interrupted, "Junior Brother Zhou He is stupid and can't speak... Let me tell you, Junior Brother Zheng, my master intends to accept you as his disciple!"

Zhou Ganyuan slowly turned his head and looked at his senior brother. "?"

Why are there still people trying to steal my lyrics?

Don't you know why I hesitate?

"Pang True Person?" Zheng Fa was shocked.

Zhou Ganyuan explained, "Yes, Senior Brother Zheng, after I communicated Talisman Arts with you, I talked about your opinions with my master several times... Master appreciates your Talisman Dao attainments and intends to take you under his sect."

Zheng Fa nodded.

It doesn't look surprising.

At this time Sun Daoyu spoke again, "Junior Brother Zheng, do you know that Master has given <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye>, which is Master's secret biography."

Zheng Fa was silent for a while and suddenly asked:

"Pang True Person intends to accept me as his disciple?"

"Yes!"

"Then I dare to ask, what should I do when Senior Sister Zhang is so angry? Senior brother, can you protect me?"

"Senior Sister Zhang... are you measured?" Sun Daoyu stammered.

"... Are all the disciples of Pang True Person valued as much as Junior Brother Zhou?"

"... Ahem, Junior Brother Zhou has amazing talent after all."

"... Then I probably have no chance with this <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye>."

After walking out of the door, Zhou Ganyuan was still looking at Sun Daoyu with a frown.

"Senior brother, how come you become so fast?"

"This Zheng Fa has a good talent. You can practice it to Qi Refinement Second Layer in less than two months."

"Senior brother loves talents?"

"Love talent?" Sun Daoyu smiled softly and looked at Zhou Ganyuan: "Junior Brother Zhou, you... I just don't want Senior Sister Zhang to have another general under his command. Junior brother, the master's value is never everything. What's more, I can't tell how much he values Zheng Fa."

"..."

"What a pity, this man is a smart man."

Senior Sister Zhang's yard.

"You rejected Pang True Person?" Senior Sister Zhang asked Zheng Fa.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"How can a traitor be so easy to do?"

Zheng Fa answered honestly.

If it weren't for the sect's rules, these two veins would be able to create true fire.

Pang True Person's beloved disciple already has Zhou Ganyuan, how much can he value himself?

Senior Sister Zhang's protection of him is seen by the entire Nine Mountains Sect. If he were to become a disciple of Pang True Person, the Senior Sister Zhang family would probably hate him deeply, and the Pang True Person family would probably also think that he was ungrateful.

In the end, he will become a human being.

"<Void-Piercing Spirit Eye>This Law Technique is also very famous in the Hundred Immortals Alliance."

"..."

"Don't want it?"

"Don't want to."

"Oh, then I won't give it to you."

Zheng Fa was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw Senior Sister Zhang holding a Jade Slip in his hand, looking at himself with a slight smile on his lips.
