My Master Knows It All

224: Chapter 133 Talisman King_1 224: Chapter 133 Talisman King_1 Gathering Immortals Platform was crowded with disciples from the Hundred Peaks, and at a glance, it seemed as if there were a thousand of them.

Within the Hundred Peaks Sect, though the disciples from the lower fifty peaks were fewer and those who could participate in the Six Arts Assessment were not many.

The key was that the number of disciples from the upper fifty peaks was large, especially peaks like Spirit Symbol Peak that specialized in the Path of Talisman, nearly all of their disciples had been sent out.

On the Gathering Immortals Platform, stone tables had already been set up, each covered with the materials needed to craft Gathering Spirit Talismans.

Even though everyone’s talisman making technique differed, the materials used were roughly the same, and these materials were sufficient to ensure their success in creating Gathering Spirit Talismans.

The stone tables had been prepared in advance, but no one knew exactly how many disciples would participate in the assessment, so the sect had prepared slightly more tables than necessary.

Of course, not too many were extra, only a few tables remained empty, while behind most stone tables stood a disciple ready for the assessment.

“In the first round of the assessment, you have three attempts, and a third-level talisman is enough to pass,” the Presiding Elder announced.

At his command, the Gathering Immortals Platform was abuzz as disciples began to work.

Even if it was just within the sect, even if it was just crafting the simplest Gathering Spirit Talismans, the simultaneous actions of the multitude caused the air around the platform to noticeably tremble.

Many eyes had already turned towards Cao Zhen.

The first challenge was the Gathering Spirit Talisman?

Who didn’t know that Four Treasures Peak, with the help of experts from various Taoist Institutions, crafted Gathering Spirit Talismans and completely dominated the market?

Several Peak Masters from the lower fifty peaks immediately looked a bit more solemn.

“Looks like Four Treasures Peak picked up an advantage.”

“Don’t worry, this is just the first challenge.

There’s still a second round,” someone remarked.

“No, look, there are still quite a few people standing around Four Treasures Peak.

Did they only send one disciple to participate in the talisman assessment?”

“Isn’t it said that Four Treasures Peak is most skilled in talisman making among the Six Arts?

Yet they sent only one person in their best area.

How many Peak Bamboos can they get in the end?

I was worried Four Treasures Peak might influence our peak-ranking, but it seems I worried in vain.”

“Those who bet on Four Treasures Peak breaking into the top fifty must be regretting it now.”

“I even heard some people, I don’t know what they were thinking, actually bet on Four Treasures Peak advancing into the upper fifty peaks,” another added.

As a fellow Peak Master from the lower fifty peaks, Deng Qixing’s smile could hardly be concealed as he said to Cao Zhen, “Peak Master Cao, I should thank you for teaching us how to craft Gathering Spirit Talismans.

No matter what, my five disciples will have no problem advancing to the second round, we’ll just have to see how it goes in the second.

Even if they can’t pass that round, it’s no big deal.

The reason I had them all participate in the assessment was to boost their confidence.

As disciples from the ninety-ninth peak, they’re used to being looked down upon and lack self-confidence.

This time, I want to tell them they’re much stronger and more outstanding than they think.”

Cao Zhen looked at Deng Qixing, who spoke with great enthusiasm, a bit surprised.

Although Seven Star Peak was among the ninety-ninth peaks, Deng Qixing’s educational methods were not inferior.

If Seven Star Peak had more resources, they wouldn’t have fallen to such a position.

Suddenly, several exclamations erupted from beside him.

“Why has Ling Xi from Four Treasures Peak stopped moving?”

“She…

she’s finished already?”

“That was fast!”

“She’s actually faster than He Tianqi from Spirit Symbol Peak.”

On the Gathering Immortals Platform, Ling Xi was already standing with her hands clasped behind her back, and in front of her on the stone table, an additional Gathering Spirit Talisman now lay.

She was, after all, endowed with the Ancient Talisman Immortal Body and had previously taught many people how to craft Gathering Spirit Talismans, so she was extremely familiar with the process.

But she had not imagined she would be the first to finish making her talisman without even exerting her full effort.

No one else had managed to complete their Gathering Spirit Talisman when she put hers down; she was the first among them all!

“Look quickly, He Tianqi has finished too.

Truly worthy of being a genius from Spirit Symbol Peak dedicated to the talisman arts!”

“It’s a pity, I thought He Tianqi would be the first to finish crafting, but it turns out he’s the second.”

“First or second doesn’t really matter, does it?

After all, the main thing is to pass the first round.

I believe He Tianqi didn’t go all out.”

At the Gathering Immortals Platform, in a position close to the center, a handsome man in a golden-yellow robe looked through the crowd, somewhat surprised, towards where Ling Xi was.

He wasn’t the first one?

Someone was faster than him!

Although he hadn’t used his full strength, for someone to finish crafting so quickly was indeed impressive.

However, even though it was only the first round and the order of finishing didn’t matter, as a disciple of Spirit Symbol Peak, losing to someone else was a bit embarrassing.

In the next round, although it wouldn’t be the last, he needed to do better and aim for first place.

Otherwise, as a disciple of Spirit Symbol Peak, he might have a hard time explaining himself.

As he pondered, more exclamations of surprise came from the surrounding peaks.

“Shao Yijian from Flying Immortal Peak is the third one.”

“Brother Shao Yijian has already reached the Perfect Completion Golden Core, a formidable existence among all the Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciples.

It’s unexpected that his talisman making technique is also so skilled.”
