A New Way to Collect
Jiang Hao had stayed on Dragon Tiger Mountain for half a month. That day, he found Celestial Master Zhang and presented him with a copied volume of Talisman Rectification, along with a complete set of the talismans he could currently draw. Celestial Master Zhang accepted them excitedly, stroking the book as he said, "The talismans of our Daoist sect have been lost for so long. They have finally returned. Nephew Dingyang, thank you so much."
"I am a member of this sect. Strengthening it is what I should do," Jiang Hao said.
Celestial Master Zhang looked at Jiang Hao with eyes full of appreciation. If only Jiang Hao were a disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain. What a pity, what a pity.
During the morning lesson the next day, Celestial Master Zhang personally presided over it. More than a hundred registered Daoists from all of Dragon Tiger Mountain came, and Jiang Hao was invited as well. They held a solemn ceremony to thank Daoist Dingyang of Maoshan for returning the long-lost Seventy-two Talismans. The talismans were then enshrined behind the main hall for veneration.
When Jiang Hao bid farewell to Dragon Tiger Mountain, Celestial Master Zhang personally escorted him out of the mountain gate with several stewards. It was an exceptionally high honor. Jiang Hao clasped his hands to bid the old Daoists farewell, then strode away.

"I toured all of Dragon Tiger Mountain
