Unexpected Gains

Qin Fengming was overjoyed when Venerable Dao Ling, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed nearby, suddenly spoke. His tone was filled with disdain for this Core Formation puppet.

Hearing Venerable Dao Ling say this, Zhuang Daoqin merely smiled faintly and did not offer the slightest rebuttal.

The two senior and junior brothers had spent several hundred years together, so Zhuang Daoqin naturally knew his senior brother's temperament. He held his own path of talisman crafting in extremely high regard, but thought very little of other miscellaneous studies.

Venerable Dao Ling's bold words were backed by his own pride. He had devoted his entire life to studying the path of talisman crafting and had accumulated quite a few high-grade talismans.

Only a small portion of these high-grade talismans had been refined by his own hand. Most had not come from him, but had been obtained through fortuitous encounters in ancient cultivators' Cave Abodes or at auctions.

This was because he possessed high-grade talisman formulas. The materials required to refine these talismans were far too precious. Even Venerable Dao Ling, a Great Cultivator, found them difficult to obtain.

Talisman Masters were all extremely arrogant by nature. Thus, they would rather bury a high-grade talisman
