Unofficial Records

In an instant, he stopped thinking about it and didn't delve any deeper into it.

Regardless, he subconsciously felt that Lin Xiao couldn't be exposed to the Heavenly Profound Sect, so he said to Pan Han:

"I understand. Thank you for your help, senior brothers..."

He paused, then took a deep breath as if he had made a decision, before looking up at Pan Han with deep, unwavering eyes and smiling slightly:

"The senior brothers were in a daze back then and didn't know anything, right?"

Pan Han subconsciously stared into his eyes, then looked dazed for a moment. The next moment, he seemed completely unaffected and nodded:

"Yes, we didn't see anything back then. I'll go back and tell the other senior students."

Yuan Qing then bid him farewell:

"I'll leave these two matters to you, Senior Brother. This place is no place to linger; Yuan Qing will take his leave now."

With that, he turned and left.

Pan Han then said goodbye and left in another direction.

After walking a distance, Yuan Qing looked back at Pan Han's departing figure and lowered his eyes apologetically.

"I'm sorry, senior brothers... but only in this way can we guarantee Fellow Daoist Lin's absolute safety..."

He has had a secret since birth.

This secret was known only to his parents and himself.

He can alter a person's memory by looking them directly into their eyes when they are off guard.

But it's only a little bit; it's just a slight deviation or blurring of the memory of a certain point.

His parents only told him not to reveal this secret, as it would bring him death or even the extermination of his entire family, but he never understood why.

It wasn't until later, when he joined the Heavenly Profound Sect, that he came across this passage in a neglected, forgotten book in the Heavenly Profound Sect's library.

Ten thousand years ago, succubi ran rampant in the Immortal Ascension Domain. These demons were formless yet possessed immense Law Power. They often used their bewitching eyes to alter people's memories. Fortunately, the ten Immortal Venerables joined forces to eradicate them, thus restoring peace to the land.

Yuan Qing didn't know if his abilities were related to the succubus.

His parents may have known back then, but they didn't tell him, and later, he had no one to ask.

Therefore, he never uses this ability on others.

On one hand, it was to protect himself and the Yuan Household; on the other hand, it was to avoid harming others.

But now...

He hoped to do his best to minimize the trouble for Fellow Daoist Lin and the others.

By the time Pan Han returned, it was completely dark.

The Heavenly Profound Sect members who were serving today have all returned to their sect's headquarters.

Pan Han summoned the other disciples who had come out of the Green Field Mystic Realm with him and listened intently as he repeated Yuan Qing's words.

Then, inside the room, which was neither too big nor too small, a dozen or so thin Heavenly Profound Sect cultivators all had a very similar expression for a moment, but then they responded as if nothing had happened and started chatting with Pan Han.

Night was falling outside.

No one noticed this little incident that occurred on this vast land shrouded in night.

Early the next morning.

The Talisman Master Assembly continues.

Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu arrived here to wait just as dawn broke.

If you don't come early, you won't get a seat!

Today, the names of the 25,000 talisman masters who passed the first round of competition will be announced first, and then the second round will begin.

Before long, all the bigwigs who had attended the day before were seated in the venue; not a single one was absent.

The area around the venue was already packed with people.

People were everywhere, in the air and on the ground.

With a clang, a gong sounded, and everyone saw golden light suddenly appear in the air.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that the golden light is actually a dense array of names.

More than 20,000 names filled the sky above the venue.

Lin Xiao looked up at the golden light, his mind constantly thinking of Liu Chun's name.

Suddenly, he noticed a name standing out among the densely packed names. He looked closely and realized it was none other than Liu Chun.

In contrast, the other names around seemed to have lost their luster in that instant, their original golden brilliance dimming.

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised.

Is Liu Chun's academic performance so outstanding that even his name gets a close-up shot?

Jiang Youfu, standing beside him, also exclaimed "Wow!" as if he was about to marvel.

However, the next moment, they heard someone cheering first:

"Ah! I see my friend's name! His name is shining! None of the other names are like that, that's amazing!"

Then someone nearby sneered at him:

"Look at you, so ignorant. Although it's not bad that your friend made it into the 25,000 spots, you're overthinking it. This golden list is a unique feature of the Talisman Master Assembly. It's a special formation designed to help people quickly find the name they want among many names. As long as you keep thinking about the name you're looking for, that name will only appear for you."

"Ah... I see, thank you for clearing up my confusion."

The person who was mocked was not angry. Instead, he politely bowed to the person who had spoken to him, and then turned to look at the stage with great interest.

Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu, who had overheard the conversation, silently swallowed their unspoken words and turned to stare intently into the room, as if trying to bore a hole through it.

Today is the second match.

The competition this time will still require participants to create ten talismans.

But this time it wasn't the most basic kind where you could just choose whatever you wanted.

Instead, ten identical attack talismans must be made. Then, representatives from the Talisman Master Assembly will test the effectiveness of the two identical talismans made by the two talisman masters at a testing platform set up in the venue.

The one whose talisman has higher damage energy will advance.

Although such rules may seem unfair.

However, since these talisman masters have already undergone rigorous screening, unless they are exceptionally talented, their skill levels will not vary too much.

So it's not fair to say it's unfair; if you can't stay here, you won't be able to stay anywhere else.

Moreover, it's far too early to start ranking; there are still several rounds of competition to come.

This also allows for faster headcount screening.

Most people have no objection to this rule, nor dare they object.

The Talisman Master Assembly is hosted by several major powers in the South Spirit Domain and North Spirit Domain. Who would dare to object to the rules they set?

Furthermore, in the first round, we only watched the talisman masters making talismans. Now, we can see the talismans being compared and their effects firsthand. Isn't that much more entertaining?

Therefore, the second session today differs from the first session in that, after the first batch of talisman masters finished drawing and left the stage, the second batch came up to continue drawing, and at the same time, the newly set-up talisman testing platform at the very front of the venue would also begin to conduct talisman comparison tests.
