My Master Knows It All

107: Chapter 98 Tai Chu_5 107: Chapter 98 Tai Chu_5 Deng Qixing’s face instantly turned green, “My disciple on the peak has no talent for talisman-making.” If there were disciples with the talent for talisman-making on his Seven Star Peak, he would do whatever it took, even if it meant selling everything, to find connections and send the person to the Talisman Maker Workshop to improve their talisman-making skills.

“Then find the disciple with the lowest level of cultivation to come here,” Cao Zhen was now completely certain that the past ranking of the Hundred Peaks Sect was not at fault.

Deservedly ranked ninety-nine, this peak truly was in a dire state.

Although Deng Qixing did not understand why Cao Zhen would want to see his weakest disciple, he still called out to the door, “Let Huo Shuzhou come here.”

Shortly after, accompanied by a knock on the door, a muscular, dark-skinned man walked in.

Cao Zhen looked at the man somewhat curiously.

On his way here, he clearly saw two disciples around thirteen or fourteen years old on Seven Star Peak and thought the one with the lowest level of cultivation would be one of those two children.

To his surprise, it turned out to be this man, who looked at least twice as old as those children.

This…

As soon as Huo Shuzhou entered the room, he first greeted Deng Qixing, then turned his head to address Cao Zhen with respect, calling out ‘Peak Master Cao.’ Afterward, he looked back at Deng Qixing and asked, “Master, what are your orders for your disciple?”

Nothing else needed to be said about Huo Shuzhou; he was impeccable in terms of etiquette.

Deng Qixing pointed at Cao Zhen and said, “Ask him.”

With a beaming smile, Cao Zhen asked, “Can you make talismans?”

Huo Shuzhou’s face immediately showed a shade of shame as he nervously said, “Disciple is foolish and has shamed Master.

I have not yet learned the art of talisman-making.”

Cao Zhen’s smile grew even brighter; it was better that he didn’t know.

When a novice succeeded later, it would be even more convincing, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, come, I’ll teach you a Talisman Technique.

Listen carefully.”

Huo Shuzhou did not immediately thank him, but instead turned his head with a questioning look at his master, Deng Qixing.

“Aren’t you going to thank Peak Master Cao?” Deng Qixing was frustrated internally.

You blockhead, someone is offering to teach you Talisman Technique and you’re looking at me?

Hurry up and learn.

But just how powerful was Cao Zhen before his reincarnation?

Could his greatest expertise actually be The Path of Talisman?

After receiving his master’s command, Huo Shuzhou bowed to Cao Zhen and said, “Disciple Huo Shuzhou thanks Peak Master Cao.”

“Alright, alright, let’s start with the talisman-making technique.” Cao Zhen began to recite from memory the method to create a Gathering Spirit Talisman from the third volume of Zhang Daoling’s Great Hollow Scripture, the Great Dragon Tiger Real Spirit Talisman Technique.

The Gathering Spirit Talisman, as its name implies, is used to gather spiritual energy.

It’s the most basic talisman but is also widely needed by everyone.

For a moment, the room was unusually quiet.

Only Cao Zhen’s voice could be continuously heard.

Deng Qixing was completely dumbfounded; Cao Zhen actually possessed the knowledge of talisman-making, and it was extremely, extremely advanced at that!

This Talisman Technique was far more sophisticated than the one he knew.

If the Talisman Technique he had learned was just a grain of sand, the method Cao Zhen was teaching for making the Gathering Spirit Talisman was like a towering mountain; the two simply were not on the same level.

He had learned talisman-making too, but his teacher had told him that he had no talent for it, so he did not put much effort into it.

Mainly because, at the beginning of talisman-making, one is bound to fail often and waste a lot of money.

But now, listening to Cao Zhen’s method for talisman-making, he even felt the urge to try making talismans himself.

Just how splendid was that era of the Tai Chu?

He had never heard of such a talisman-making technique!

Cao Zhen quickly finished explaining how to make a Gathering Spirit Talisman.

After all, it was the basic method for making a Gathering Spirit Talisman and was not difficult.

He looked at Huo Shuzhou and asked, “Did you understand?”

“I…

I…” Huo Shuzhou had a distressed look.

After stammering for a while, he blamed himself, “Disciple is dumb and has not…

not remembered.”

“Didn’t?

Didn’t remember…” Even Cao Zhen was taken aback.

He had asked if he had learned, yet the reply was that he hadn’t remembered.

Well, if he hadn’t remembered, he hadn’t remembered.

It was no big deal; he could explain it again.

“It’s alright, I’ll go over it with you one more time.” Cao Zhen began again, repeating the instructions before looking at Huo Shuzhou.

Huo Shuzhou’s head sunk even lower, and before Cao Zhen could ask, Deng Qixing by his side had already spoken up, “Peak Master Cao, take a rest.

I will repeat it again.”

There is a truth: no one understands a disciple better than his master.

Deng Qixing began to recite in place of Cao Zhen.

Since Cao Zhen had already recited it twice, he had memorized all the content.

Cao Zhen was certain of one thing, he had asked Deng Qixing to find the weakest disciple on the peak, and Deng Qixing had definitely not deceived him.

As for this level of talent, he did not even know what to say.

Previously, he had taught the complete Great Dragon Tiger Real Spirit Talisman Technique to Ling Xi, and with just one attempt, Ling Xi had learned it.

Not just remembered it, but truly learned it.

However, with Huo Shuzhou, it took explaining the method for just the Gathering Spirit Talisman twice, and Deng Qixing repeating it twice more, before Huo Shuzhou nodded, acknowledging he had learned it.

Now, Cao Zhen was curious how Huo Shuzhou had even been accepted into the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Cao Zhen looked at Deng Qixing and said, “Since he’s learned it now, then Peak Master Deng, why don’t you bring three sets of materials for making the Gathering Spirit Talisman, and let Huo Shuzhou try making the talisman himself?”

“To make it directly?” Deng Qixing’s brow slightly furrowed, but he still nodded slightly and instructed Huo Shuzhou to retrieve the materials for making ten sets of Gathering Spirit Talismans.
