[Doorway Affairs: Slay the Tiger Demon in the woods outside Apricot Flower Village, mission complete]
[Completion Reward: 870 Reputation, Three-star Random Talent Ă1]
After Lu Zhiwei successfully slew the Tiger Demon, Lu Ping, far away on Cyan Lotus Mountain, saw the system dialogue box appear before him.
Completing the Tiger Demon task gained 870 reputation points, which isnât too little.
The most crucial part is that [Three-star Random Talent].
This item is worth 600 reputation points!
While Lu Zhiwei was flying back to Cyan Lotus Mountain after leaving Apricot Flower Village, Lu Ping claimed the [Three-star Random Talent], preparing to activate it.
Who should it be used on?
It can grant a random talent, which is pretty effective.
The three children, Lu Yuanshan has to manage the sect and focus on cultivation, leaving no time to learn the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, at least until reaching the Crystallization stage, no distractions.
As for Lu Zhiwei, focusing on the Dao of Artifact Refining isnât a bad idea; donât spread yourself too thin.
Then thereâs Lu Changfeng, who hasnât even begun the Path of Array, so how could he have time to learn other crafts?
The three children are not to be considered.
For now, letâs choose from among the sect disciples.
While pondering the sect disciples, comparing their personalities and cultivation prowess, Lu Ping ultimately chose Chu Qin.
Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan, focus on reaching the Peak of Qi Cultivation first.
These two are Foundation Establishment seeds.
Chu Qinâs cultivation is currently at the Peak of Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, about to break through to the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Choosing him is also due to Chu Qinâs sincerity and honesty.
"Chu Qin."
After deciding on Chu Qin, Lu Ping established a communication with him to inform him first.
"You will soon be granted a random talent; donât panic, stay calm."
At Yanyang Lake, while alone with Lu Xuelian, Chu Qin heard a voice in his mind and immediately uttered in surprise.
"Whoâs talking?"
Startled by the sudden voice, he turned around, looking vigilant.
Being alone with his junior sister in a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, how could there be an outsider spying?
He was slightly displeased.
"Ah, whatâs wrong?"
This action of Chu Qinâs caught Lu Xuelianâs attention.
She also glanced around with Chu Qin: "Is there someone else?"
Chu Qin frowned, unable to find where the voice originated or where the speaker was hiding, only shaking his head: "Iâm not sure, itâs strange."
This is Cyan Lotus Mountain, within Cyan Mountain Sectâs domain, with the Sect Protection Array, there shouldnât be any strangers trespassing.
Recalling the voice in his mind, it felt unfamiliar, the first time he heard it, making Chu Qin even more cautious.
Being mysterious, what does it mean to grant you a random talent?
Is talent something that can be granted?
Chu Qin found it hard to believe.
"Prepare yourself."
At this moment, Lu Pingâs voice sounded again.
He was too lazy to explain who he was, unwilling to waste words.
After choosing Chu Qin as the target, the system popped up a dialogue box.
[Drawing a random talent for Chu Qin...]
[Ding! Chu Qin has acquired the Random TalentâTalisman Talent]
[Talisman Talent: It enables the possessor to master the path of Talisman easier and become an outstanding Talisman Maker.]
The result of granting the random talent appeared, granting a Talisman Talent.
Obtaining this result, Lu Pingâs gaze sharpened.
Not bad.
Within Cyan Mountain Sect, thereâs currently an Artifact Refiner, Alchemist, Beast Tamer, and a yet-to-be-introduced Array Master in training, missing a Talisman Maker.
Now, itâs perfect timing to train Chu Qin as a Talisman Maker, so the sect can self-produce spirit talismans in the future, like Blazing Fire Talisman, Earth Spike Talisman, Water Talisman, etc.
After Lu Ping finished granting the random talent.
Chu Qin quickly became restless.
After obtaining the talent, Chu Qin could clearly feel it, showing a bewildered expression, finding it unbelievable.
"I..."
For a moment, he didnât know how to speak, only feeling a strong interest in Talisman Making.
"Youâve now received the Talisman-Making Talent, make good use of it."
"The sect will soon guide you towards becoming a Talisman Maker, so be prepared."
After a final reminder, Lu Ping severed the communication.
Chu Qin remained in bewilderment.
Until Lu Xuelian noticed his oddity, calling out to him several times, he finally came to his senses.
"You... whatâs going on with you?"
"Why were you daydreaming just now? It gave me quite a fright..."
Hearing Lu Xuelianâs chattering, Chu Qin forced a smile.
After thinking for a while, he still found the matter strange and didnât know how to describe it, so he said: "I also donât know whatâs going on, someone suddenly communicated with me, saying some strange things."
The matter of acquiring the Talisman-Making Talent, Chu Qin actually wanted to tell Lu Xuelian, not wanting to hide it from her.
But for the moment, he hadnât figured out how to explain it.
Speaking of oneself, if it werenât for the personal experience, it would be hard to believe.
Let alone Lu Xuelian.
"Someone communicated with Brother Chu?"
Upon hearing Chu Qinâs words, Lu Xuelian was secretly startled.
Her expression changed from initial confusion to one of delight.
"Did that senior who communicated with you ask you not to be surprised by anything, right?"
"Eh, how did you know?"
How could I not know?
That senior said the same thing to me back then!
Silently pondering, Lu Xuelian smiled, pursing her lips: "Then it makes sense. Do you now feel somewhat different, having acquired something akin to inheritance or ability?"
"Inheritance... talent, does that count?"
Having spoken to this point, Chu Qin couldnât help but feel curious about Lu Xuelianâs words, immediately inquiring about what was going on, and how she guessed right that he had acquired certain abilities.
Facing Chu Qinâs inquiry, Lu Xuelian didnât conceal, recounting how Lu Ping had previously acted to enhance her beast taming skills, to which Chu Qin listened in amazement.
After hearing it, Chu Qin clicked his tongue in wonder, and recounted everything that had just happened, including how he acquired the Talisman-Making Talent, to Lu Xuelian.
The two gazed at each other gradually.
"So, it appears that senior has acted again, trying to foster you as a Talisman Maker."
Lu Xuelian deduced Lu Pingâs intention, as Lu Ping had clearly informed Chu Qin of the purpose.
"I think so."
Chu Qin nodded heavily, asking.
"Do you know who that senior actually is?"
"Do you want to meet them?"
Lu Xuelian asked back.
She also didnât know who that senior was.
Back then, she had asked Lu Zhiwei about it, but Lu Zhiwei didnât reveal the specific identity, only mentioning it was a senior from the sect.
"A senior granting me such a talent is truly incredible, Iâd like to pay respects..."
"Actually, Iâd also like to pay respects."
After speaking, Lu Xuelian sighed slightly: "But I also donât know who this senior actually is."
Both couldnât help but feel curious about âthis seniorâsâ specific identity.
At the same time, they increasingly felt that Cyan Mountain Sect was growing extraordinary, certainly a place full of hidden talents, not a simple place.
So much so, Chu Qin now felt unreal, still pondering the recent events, struggling to remain composed.
"Brother Chu, you need to remain calm."
Observing Chu Qinâs demeanor, Lu Xuelian seriously advised.
"I also found it incredible at first... But this does us no harm, it shows the sect values us."
"Junior Sister, you make a valid point..."
