"This Clearing Talisman..."
Situ Jiangâs gaze fell on the talisman in Qi Chuanâs hand. With a gesture, he drew it into his hand, inspecting it closely.
After a moment, he raised his head, looking at Qi Chuan, a hint of incredulity in his eyes.
He had just examined it carefully.
It was indeed a Tier Two Lower Grade Clearing Talisman, and by the looks of some of the talisman marks, it was clearly crafted in recent days.
It should have been drawn by Qi Chuan a few days ago.
The magic ink and talisman paper used were both of Tier One Top Grade quality, and though the talisman formation drawn was rough, it was complete.
This further demonstrated Qi Chuanâs extraordinary talent.
The latter had only been in contact with this Clearing Talisman for ten days, and yet he had independently drawn the Clearing Talisman array? Most other Tier Two Talisman Masters wouldnât dare to believe it if told.
"Your talent in talisman making is truly astounding..." Even Situ Jiang couldnât help but say at this moment.
This kind of talent is beyond what one could even imagine, let alone have seen.
Earlier, he had wrongly blamed Qi Chuan, but the latter had indeed figured out almost everything about the Clearing Talisman.
Then, Situ Jiang began to explain, using the semi-finished talisman Qi Chuan had crafted, pointing out some of the shortcomings, which talisman marks werenât smooth enough, and what techniques should be used during drawing.
After listening, Qi Chuan also felt he had improved significantly.
However, after finishing the explanation, Situ Jiang added, "Although your skill in drawing the Clearing Talisman array has reached the level of a Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman Master, your power of divine soul and mana are ultimately insufficient; without reaching Foundation Establishment, you cannot draw a true Tier Two Talisman."
"This means that your Clearing Talisman has form but no essence, one might say, it is a useless item."
"Therefore, given your current situation, you can put a pause on talisman making and focus on your cultivation. If you reach the Qi Refining Tenth Layer, I can arrange to move you up in the order to acquire a Foundation Establishment Pill..."
At the end, Situ Jiangâs expression carried a slight smile.
Seeing this, Qi Chuan couldnât help but widen his eyes slightly.
He didnât expect such a possibility?
It seems that having this Sect Leader as a mentor was truly the right choice!
"Thank you, Master!" Qi Chuan immediately cupped his fists in gratitude.
Boom...
At this moment, a sound came, and both of them looked over to see the door of the Primordial Spirit Hall slowly opening, and a young figure emerging from within.
The young man wore a True Inheritance Robe, his face slightly chubby, carrying a hint of friendliness, though there was a tinge of sadness in his eyes.
As soon as he came out, seeing Situ Jiang and Qi Chuan, he hesitated for a moment, then bowed to the former, saying, "True Disciple Lu Pill, greetings to the Sect Leader!"
He then turned to Qi Chuan, and after a brief thought, guessed, "You must be the newly promoted True Inheritance, Junior Brother Qi Chuan?"
"Yes, greetings to Senior Brother Lu, Iâve long admired you."
Qi Chuan courteously cupped his fists in response, looking at Lu Pill with some curiosity.
The twelve True Inheritances of the Wind Moon Sect were legendary figures within the inner and outer sects. Even if he hadnât specifically sought out information, having been in the inner sect for several years, he couldnât be completely unaware.
More so, Lu Pill was not simple; he originally ranked second among the twelve True Inheritances of the Wind Moon Sect and became the foremost True Inheritance after Yun Qingyue advanced to Elder.
Being able to surpass other current True Inheritances, he was indeed a genuine prodigy.
Unexpectedly, the impression he gave upon meeting was quite amiable.
"Ah, I, too, have long admired Junior Brother Qi..." Facing Qi Chuanâs words of admiration, Lu Pill responded with a friendly smile and cupped fists in return.
"How goes the insight into that opportunity?" At this point, Situ Jiang glanced at the two, interrupting their mutual compliments.
"Uh... As expected, it ended in failure..."
Hearing the Sect Leaderâs words, Lu Pill lowered his hand, sighed, his expression somewhat gloomy.
He had prepared for a long time to request from the Sect Leader to once again try to gain insight in the Primordial Spirit Hall, but to no avail, as failure was still the result.
It seemed that this opportunity was not meant for him.
Upon hearing this, there was no surprise in Situ Jiangâs eyes; after all, it was an expected outcome.
"Oh, Sect Leader, you brought Junior Brother Qi here also for gaining insight into that opportunity?" Lu Pill looked at Qi Chuan with some curiosity.
"Indeed," Situ Jiang nodded.
"Opportunity?" Qi Chuan, who had been listening on the side, was somewhat puzzled, looking at the two with confusion.
"Junior Brother Qi doesnât know? Well, youâre newly inducted, so no surprise. Let me tell you, this opportunity is a strange ancient plant engraved with numerous old, mottled talismanic scripts. Itâs said to hold great fortune, acquired years ago from a secret realm, and by decree of the Supreme Elder..."
Seeing Qi Chuanâs confusion, Lu Pill kindly explained in detail.
After listening, Qi Chuanâs eyes gradually widened, a bit shocked internally.
According to what Lu Pill said, this opportunity was from years ago, when he was ten, after joining the main lineage of the Qi Family in Red Maple Valley, during that secret realm event.
At that time, for the exploration of the secret realm, the Wind Moon Sect laid a ban, forbidding anyone from the cultivation clans in the vicinity, even going as far as exterminating the Xiao Family, who coveted the secret realm, to set an example.
The Qi Family shut its valley for two years but remained unharmed.
Back then, Qi Chuan had assumed that whatever arose from that secret realm, regardless of its nature or fortune, was unrelated to him, so he paid little attention, only focusing on honing his cultivation and magic within the clan.
