Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 55 Congratulations and Gifts (Part 3)

During this period, as Yang Feng showed his talent in making talismans, he could also feel Xu Wenqing's preference for him.

According to some gossip Yang Feng learned from other colleagues, Yang Feng learned that the reason why Xu Wenqing was able to open such a large talisman factory was that there was said to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him who had invested in it.

In addition, Xu Wenqing is a professor at a specialized talisman-making academy. It can be said that his connections and relationship background are not comparable to those of ordinary Qi training cultivators.

Being accepted as his student didn't save Yang Feng from decades of detours.

But with the other party's guidance, Yang Feng will indeed be able to make talismans much smoother in the future, so Yang Feng naturally would not refuse such a good thing.

"it is good."

Seeing Yang Feng nod in agreement with an ecstatic look on his face, Xu Wenqing also nodded with relief.

After that, he signaled the others to leave. Xu Wenqing gave some instructions to Yang Feng and asked him to go to his house on Saturday. He would arrange someone to pick him up then.

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng nodded, probably understanding Xu Wenqing's intention.

"Brother Yang, congratulations."

"Hey, Brother Yang, I've said it before. With your talent for making talismans, it's only a matter of time before Teacher Xu accepts you as his student. I was right, wasn't I?"

"..."

"Brother Yang, congratulations on becoming Teacher Xu's student. This is a little gift from me. I've prepared it for you long ago, just waiting for this day to come. I hope you don't mind..."

"Yes, Brother Yang, I have already prepared a gift for you. Congratulations on becoming Teacher Xu's student. You have fulfilled our wish."

When Yang Feng came out of the communication hall, many colleagues who had gotten along well with Yang Feng during this period came up to him and bowed to congratulate him.

Among them, several people took out beautifully packaged gifts that were obviously worth a lot of money from their storage rings and gave them to Yang Feng.

"This, Brother Chen, Brother Liu... How can this be done?"

When Yang Feng saw his colleagues congratulating him, and some of them even prepared gifts in advance, he was surprised and at a loss for a moment, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Hey, Brother Yang, just accept it."

"If you don't accept it, you're looking down on us."

The colleagues who brought out the gifts were well versed in the ways of dealing with people. After several attempts of persuasion, Yang Feng finally had no choice but to nod and accept the gifts from them one by one. Only then did they show satisfied smiles.

"Yang, Brother Yang, congratulations on becoming Teacher Xu's student. I didn't have time to prepare in advance, so this first-grade, top-grade talisman pen is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Qin Wanmin saw several other old colleagues giving gifts one after another. After thinking for a while, he took out a first-grade, top-quality talisman pen that he loved very much from his storage ring and handed it to Yang Feng to congratulate him.

"Master Qin, this is unacceptable."

Yang Feng saw that Qin Wanmin, the oldest and most respected talisman master among his colleagues, actually gave him a gift, and it was an expensive first-grade top-quality talisman pen. He quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"You accepted all the gifts from them, but you won't accept mine? Do you look down on an old man like me?"

Qin Wanmin stuffed the pen box containing the talisman pen into Yang Feng's hand and said with an expression that did not allow for refusal.

"That's...ok."

Yang Feng knew there was no way he could refuse the other party's kindness in this situation, so he reluctantly accepted it again. "That's right, this talisman pen can only realize its true value in the hands of a talisman-making genius like you. It would be a complete waste if I had it."

When Qin Wanmin saw Yang Feng accept it, a smile appeared on his face, but at the same time, a complex emotion emerged in his heart.

Over the years, he followed Xu Wenqing to learn how to make talismans. Although he was not accepted as a student by Xu Wenqing due to his average talent, he was deeply trusted by Xu Wenqing in the talisman-making factory and could be considered half a student of his.

In the past, Xu Wenqing said that he did not have enough talent, and forcing himself to learn how to draw first-grade, high-quality talismans would only waste a lot of time, energy, and materials for making talismans.

Therefore, he was unwilling to accept him as a student and teach him how to draw first-grade high-quality talismans.

However, Qin Wanmin was unwilling at that time and did not want his talisman-making skills to remain at the level of a first-class mid-grade talisman maker for the rest of his life.

In order to gain Xu Wenqing's recognition, he was willing to stay in Xu Wenqing's talisman factory and work hard for him, and did so for decades.

He invested all the money he earned from making talismans into purchasing first-grade, top-quality talisman-making inheritance and various first-grade, top-quality talisman-making materials.

Explore on your own and learn to draw first-grade, top-quality talismans.

Xu Wenqing saw that Qin Wanmin was determined and did not give up even after experiencing countless failures during the process of self-study.

I know that Qin Wanmin has a strong obsession with becoming a first-class top-grade talisman maker.

Eventually, he developed a sense of compassion, and every once in a while, he would give guidance to Qin Wanmin on the problems he encountered in drawing first-grade, top-quality talismans.

However, more than 20 years have passed since Qin Wanmin learned to draw first-grade, top-quality talismans, and even with Xu Wenqing's occasional guidance, he still has not been able to successfully obtain the first-grade, top-quality talisman maker certificate.

During this period, he spent an unknown amount of money, time and energy to learn how to draw first-grade, high-quality talismans.

The feedback he finally received only confirmed the reason why Xu Wenqing was unwilling to accept him as his disciple in the first place.

If you don’t have enough talent, no matter how hard you work, it won’t mean much.

In the end, in addition to wasting a lot of time, energy and money, he was also hit by reality and began to doubt his life, which made him completely lose his fighting spirit.

After all, it’s the same talisman making.

Those who are talented can learn from the teacher and understand things quickly and make rapid progress. They only need to consume dozens or hundreds of first-grade high-quality talisman papers to successfully draw a first-grade high-quality talisman.

For someone like him who lacks talent, even with guidance from a teacher, there will be no obvious improvement afterwards.

And even if one eventually succeeds in drawing a first-grade top-quality talisman through one's own efforts, one will have to consume at least hundreds or even thousands of first-grade top-quality talisman papers in the early stages.

And this is just the beginning.

In the later period, as the skills of talisman making improved, the difference between those with high talent and those with low talent in the amount of talisman making materials consumed in the process of raising the level of drawing a first-grade top-grade talisman to perfection was an astronomical figure.

Perhaps those with high talent can improve the level of drawing a first-grade high-quality talisman from beginner to perfection by just consuming thousands of talisman papers.

Those with poor talent may not be able to do it even if they consume tens of thousands of talismans.

Therefore, when given a choice, some high-level talisman makers will pay special attention to a person's personal talent in talisman making when selecting students or training higher-level talisman makers.
