Ten Basic Talismans

"If it were me, I wouldn't leave either. Watching them compete is like watching monkeys, and I can chat with the people around me while there's a whole bunch of lowly cultivators looking up to them. Isn't that better than going back to continue my seclusion?"

Although secluded cultivation is something they have to do, having something else to do occasionally is a rare opportunity for them.

After all, the Talisman Master Assembly has just begun, and there's no need to compete for people yet. Everyone has just been released and is relatively relaxed, without much infighting. This is one of the few leisurely times in every hundred years.

After listening to Senior Liao's words, Lin Xiao understood.

Indeed, those sitting above are mostly beings at the Nascent Soul or higher, and their seclusion periods are calculated in ten or even a hundred years.

The thought that he might have to spend many years at a time in a small space... sent a chill down Lin Xiao.

This is so boring!

Unless you give him endless games to play, endless anime to watch, and endless delicious food to eat...

That's not bad.

As he pondered this, Lin Xiao began to wonder if he could find a way to create something like this...

A skilled talisman master can draw ten basic talismans in a short time; the first batch was completed quickly and then they left.

After the staff at the venue replenished all the items on the talisman-making table, the second batch of talisman masters entered the venue one after another.

Lin Xiao, who was lost in thought, was gently tugged at by Jiang Youfu, who transmitted a message to him telepathically:

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, I saw Elder Liu!"

Just in case, they had agreed beforehand to communicate by telepathy as much as possible, especially in places where there were people.

It would be troublesome if someone overheard one of their words and started targeting them.

There are just too many people in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Moreover, this Talisman Master Assembly has gathered people from all walks of life, resulting in a high density of people and a relatively increased level of danger.

Lin Xiao looked in the direction Jiang Youfu indicated and indeed saw Liu Chun's figure.

He was already positioned in front of a talisman-making table, inspecting the items on it.

Jiang Youfu really wanted to shout loudly and wave at Liu Chun so that he could see him.

Who understands the feeling of having an acquaintance on stage, being the center of attention, and then seeing them greet you and interact with you?

Unfortunately, they are all disguised now, and Brother Xiao said that they can't do such a high-profile thing, as it would easily cause trouble for them and Liu Chun.

However, they didn't do that, but many people around them did.

Many cultivators waved and shouted different names at the stage, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

Inside the venue, Liu Chun, after checking his things, waited quietly for the gong to be struck so he could begin drawing.

Suddenly, he felt as if someone was watching him intently.

However, there were so many spectators that they were everywhere, both in the air and on the ground, that they practically formed a human protective shield for the entire venue.

So he thought it might just be his imagination.

However, he still felt a bit more cautious.

Wu Sanbao, who was sitting in the audience, also saw Liu Chun on the stage.

He was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, Liu Chun was so lucky to survive. He had been subjected to a brutal attack, and although he managed to escape, his men said he was barely alive and had all his belongings taken from him, so he certainly wouldn't have the money for medical treatment.

Wu Sanbao had originally thought that even if he didn't die, he would at least find a place to eke out a living and slowly recover from his injuries.

It's unbelievable that in just one year, this person has been able to participate in the Talisman Master Assembly!

And she even passed the previous screening!

It should be noted that all the talisman masters sent by the Wu Household this year were eliminated in the selection and assessment process before the official conference.

Thinking back to what happened back then, Wu Sanbao's expression turned somewhat displeased.

Liu Chun really doesn't know what's good for him.

If he successfully passes the assessment of the Talisman Master Assembly and obtains the exclusive Talisman Master Assembly master token, his value will surely skyrocket in the future.

By then, it won't be easy for me to do anything to him...

With a clang, the second batch of talisman makers began their talisman-making session. The talisman makers on the platform lowered their heads and concentrated on making their own ten basic talismans.

This was perhaps the most serious they had ever been in drawing these basic talismans, aside from when they first started learning.

Lin Xiao was unaware that among the onlookers like them were members of the Wu Household from Yuanling City.

Little did they know that this person was so petty, still determined to make Liu Chun suffer even after all this.

The two of them were huddled on the flying sword, watching with great interest as Liu Chun meticulously crafted the talisman.

"Sigh, I always find it very enjoyable to watch Elder Liu make talismans."

Jiang Youfu watched and sighed.

"When he made talismans, he was just like Junior Brother Sun when he was studying—focused and with an indescribable quality."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled and said:

"You mean the overall feel or energy of the dish? That's normal; you experience that when you cook too."

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Youfu's eyes lit up as he looked at him and said:

"Really, Brother Xiao? I look this good even when I'm cooking!"

Lin Xiao nodded with absolute certainty:

"That's it. Your focus and the aura you exude when doing what you love and are good at is truly beautiful."

Sometimes, watching them do these things, Lin Xiao would occasionally gain some insights, and then he could improve his cultivation level by practicing a little.

On the stage, Liu Chun was engrossed in drawing his ten basic talismans.

Every stroke was one he had drawn thousands of times, and Spiritual Power flowed smoothly from his body through the talisman brush into the talisman paper like flowing water.

One by one, the symbols of the talismans gradually took shape under his hands.

One, two, three...

In no time, he had finished drawing all ten basic talismans.

After finishing drawing, he put his ten talismans into the talisman packaging bag next to him.

The package contains his Spiritual Power record, name, and room number; someone will come to collect it shortly.

After waiting a while longer, it was time to draw the second batch.

Of the 50,000 talisman masters who remain today, it's impossible that anyone couldn't finish drawing such a basic talisman within the allotted time.

The only way to find out is by comparing the details of their respective talismans.

So when the time was up, the second batch of talisman masters also took their turn, and there were no situations where they failed to finish drawing at the last minute or had to finish on time.

As the second group gradually left, Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu became somewhat disheartened.

After all, there are no familiar faces around.

However, since we've come all this way and waited for so many days, and we don't have anything else to do right now, and it's our first time attending the Talisman Master Assembly, we're not in a hurry to leave.
