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

Chapter 90: A talent for making talismans? The president is paying attention (5K subscriptions required)
"Wow..."

After adjusting his cultivation to the seventh level of Qi training, Yang Feng stood up and went to a nearby workshop that specialized in making talisman paper and blood ink.

He took out the raw materials for making talisman paper and blood ink, such as the spiritual wood and monster blood that he had just purchased from the Talisman Makers' Guild, from the storage ring.

In this workshop, in addition to the raw materials he had just purchased, there were also piles of monster skins and blood for making talisman paper.

Although he sold the first-grade, top-quality talismans he drew to the Talisman Makers Guild.

Every month, 20 points of contribution raw materials can be purchased from the Talisman Makers' Guild, but this amount of raw materials is obviously not enough.

Therefore, since Yang Feng learned to draw first-grade top-grade talismans two years ago, he has been asking his cousin to buy the raw materials for making first-grade top-grade talisman paper and blood ink on the Internet at high prices.

As for the money to purchase raw materials at a high price, Yang Feng paid it with the income he earned from drawing first-grade medium-quality talismans.

Of course, if he is short of money, Yang Feng can also sell the first-grade, top-quality talismans he drew.

Then Yang Feng began to make first-grade high-quality talisman paper and blood ink. After about two or three hours of work, Yang Feng finally made more than fifty pieces of talisman paper and a bottle of more than 1000 milliliters of blood ink.

It can probably support him to draw for more than ten days.

……

Two days later.

In the talisman makers' union exchange group, a top-grade talisman maker asked everyone in the group if they were free in the afternoon and could go to his house to attend the exchange meeting.

Yang Feng saw that five or six people responded in the group, including He Yuting and Lu Mingzhou, so he also responded in the group and said that he was free.

In the past six months, when someone in the group was occasionally free, they would invite everyone to participate in an exchange meeting. Sometimes the location was at their home, and sometimes in some parks or pavilions with nice environments in Xiancheng.

Yang Feng initially wanted to give it a try, but he participated in it several times and found that he benefited a lot every time.

So whenever someone in the group invites him, he will actively participate.

Of course, in addition to him, the other two people, He Yuting and Lu Mingzhou, who had successfully passed the examination to become first-class top-grade talisman makers with him, were also very enthusiastic about participating in this exchange meeting.

After all, it had only been a short time since they became first-grade, top-grade talisman makers, and they still had a lot to learn.

When their president teaches everyone, he usually explains the very difficult to draw first-grade, high-quality talismans, which are beyond their ability to learn at their current stage.

In addition, Yang Feng, He Yuting and Lu Mingzhou were not much different in age, and they successfully obtained the first-level top-grade talisman maker certificate in the same year. So after a few interactions, Yang Feng became familiar with the two of them.

That afternoon, Yang Feng bought two bottles of first-grade premium spirit wine as gifts and went to the home of the talisman maker who had made the invitation.

Every time Yang Feng went to someone else's home to attend such an exchange meeting, he would buy some gifts.

The so-called courtesy to many people is not surprising.

Yang Feng knew very well that as a newcomer, he participated in this kind of exchange meeting basically to learn some useful talisman-making experience from those senior talisman makers.

However, those experienced talisman makers could not gain much talisman-making experience from him.

So in order to leave a good impression on others, Yang Feng would give gifts to the inviters every time he attended such an exchange meeting.

"Hey, Brother Yang, your cultivation has broken through to the late stage of Qi training? Congratulations."

Not long after, Yang Feng arrived near the home of the talisman maker who had made the invitation. On the way, he met Lu Mingzhou. The other party sensed that the magical aura on his body had reached the late stage of Qi training, and greeted Yang Feng with a smile.

"Haha, I recently bought a bottle of treasure to improve my cultivation, and that's how I luckily broke through."

"He's no match for Brother Lu, whose cultivation reached the late stage of Qi training very early."

Yang Feng responded modestly.

Then he walked and talked with Lu Mingzhou and entered the home of the talisman maker who had made the invitation.

The talisman maker who initiated the invitation was named Zhang Qinghua. He was in his fifties and had been a first-class top-grade talisman maker for more than ten years.

He likes to invite people in the group to communicate. He is a person who likes to study and has a strong enterprising spirit in making talismans.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Liu..."

Yang Feng and Lu Mingzhou came to Zhang Qinghua's house and greeted Zhang Qinghua and another talisman maker who arrived earlier than them.

Then the two of them handed the gifts they bought to Zhang Qinghua. Yang Feng bought two bottles of spiritual wine, and Lu Mingzhou bought a can of spiritual tea.

Of course, Lu Mingzhou followed suit because he saw that Yang Feng would bring gifts every time he went to the host’s house. After all, a gift was not too expensive for them.

"Oh, you guys just come. You're always so polite."

Seeing that the two brought gifts every time they came, Zhang Qinghua naturally had a good impression of them. After accepting the gifts, he immediately invited them to sit in the living room, and then asked his wife to make tea for them.

Not long after, as those who had agreed to attend the exchange meeting arrived one after another, the group drank tea in Zhang Qinghua's living room for a while, and then were led by Zhang Qinghua to his talisman-making room.

There are a total of seven people participating in this exchange meeting. According to Yang Feng's understanding, the talisman-making skills of these seven people are not particularly high.

At least he is far behind Xu Wenqing, a senior talisman master who has already improved his drawing skills of more than ten to twenty first-grade high-quality talismans to perfection.

Of course, it is precisely because these people are not particularly skilled in making talismans, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and they still have a certain degree of enterprising spirit, so everyone actively participates in this kind of exchange meeting.

Like Xu Wenqing and Hong Qinian, who are particularly experienced first-class top-grade talisman makers.

They have already perfected the drawing skills of more than 20 kinds of first-grade high-quality talismans, and they are relatively old, and have basically reached the end of their skills in talisman making. They generally do not come to participate in this kind of exchange meeting.

Everyone came to Zhang Qinghua's talisman-making room. According to the process of the exchange meeting, the initiator first drew the talisman in front of everyone.

The others were just watching from the sidelines.

Or after the initiator fails to draw the talisman, point out the other party's mistakes, and then give some of your own opinions, and communicate and discuss with each other.

Afterwards, other people will take turns drawing talismans in front of everyone, and then ask others to give opinions and correct mistakes.

Yang Feng had only improved his skill in drawing first-grade superior flying talismans to perfection, so he either didn't know how to draw the rest of the first-grade superior talismans at all, or the success rate was too low.

I have no qualifications to give advice to others or share my own insights and experiences.

So when others were drawing talismans, he would just watch quietly from the side.

The same is true for Lu Mingzhou and He Yuting who came to attend the exchange meeting.

The talisman-making skills of the three of them were at the bottom among the others, so they could only watch silently from the side with an attitude of learning.

As Zhang Qinghua and others drew talismans, they communicated and discussed with others.

From time to time, lines of information would appear in front of Yang Feng's eyes:

"You carefully watched Zhang Qinghua draw a first-grade, superior-grade Golden Bell Talisman. Your understanding of drawing a first-grade, superior-grade Golden Bell Talisman has deepened. Your Golden Bell Talisman (first-grade, superior-grade) experience points increased by +3."

"You listened carefully to Liu Shengchen's explanation of the important details and techniques for drawing a first-grade, top-grade Golden Bell Talisman. This deepened your understanding of how to draw a first-grade, top-grade Golden Bell Talisman. Golden Bell Talisman (First-grade, Top-grade) experience points +2."

"You listened carefully to Zhuang Yong's sharing of his experience in drawing a first-grade, top-grade Golden Bell Talisman. This has given you a deeper understanding of how to draw a first-grade, top-grade Golden Bell Talisman. Golden Bell Talisman (First-grade, top-grade) experience points +2."

"..."

"Watch carefully as Zhuang Yong draws the first-grade, superior Qi-gathering Talisman..."

Yang Feng was like a loyal audience, watching everyone take turns drawing talismans attentively.

And listen carefully to everyone's opinions and share their experiences in making talismans, and gain a lot of experience points from it.

Later, when it was Yang Feng's turn to draw the talisman in front of everyone, Yang Feng chose to draw a first-grade top-grade thunder talisman.

Because in the past six months, Yang Feng has spent most of his time and energy on drawing first-grade top-grade flying talismans, his success rate in drawing first-grade top-grade thunder talismans is still only about 40%.

As Yang Feng continued to outline groups of runes in front of everyone, when he encountered a step that was prone to failure, he would stop and ask everyone present how to solve it.

Among them, several talisman masters who have increased the success rate of drawing thunder talismans to 80% to 90%, or even perfected it, all expressed their insights and solutions.

Yang Feng benefited greatly from listening to this, and several lines of information immediately appeared in front of him:
"Zhang Qinghua shared his insights with you, which gave you some insights. Thunder Talisman (First-Class, Top-Grade) Experience Points +2."

"Zhuang Yong has explained some techniques and precautions for drawing the Thunder Talisman, which has further deepened your understanding of how to draw the Thunder Talisman. Thunder Talisman (First-grade, Top-grade) experience points +3."

"..."

After listening to everyone's stories, Yang Feng was greatly inspired. Then, under the hands-on guidance of several people, he successfully completed the next few steps that were easy to fail in drawing, and finally successfully drew a first-grade top-grade thunder talisman.

After successfully drawing a first-grade, superior-grade thunder talisman, a line of information appeared in front of Yang Feng's eyes again:
"You have successfully drawn a first-grade, superior-quality Thunder Talisman. Thunder Talisman (first-grade, superior-quality) experience points +5."

Finally, when the exchange meeting was over, Yang Feng opened the system panel and took a look. He found that he had gained hundreds of experience points in this exchange meeting, which was equivalent to what he would gain from drawing talismans at home for several days.

This made Yang Feng very satisfied.

Although these hundreds of experience points were not for the same talisman, they would make it easier for him to learn how to draw other talismans in the future. ...

Two days later, the Talisman Makers Guild.

After get off work, Wang Hongxia went to the home of President Xue Yan and handed over the first-grade, top-quality talismans submitted by union members in the past week, as well as various income and expenditure detailed reports to Xue Yan.

"President, we received a total of 289 first-grade, high-quality talismans this week. Here's the breakdown, along with a list of how much they exchanged for various raw materials and purchased various first-grade precious treasures. Please review it."

Wang Hongxia took out a large box containing various talismans and several reports from her storage ring and handed them to Xue Yandao.

"Hey, this Yang Feng, this time he handed in a total of 42 first-grade high-quality flying escape talismans, including three exquisite quality flying escape talismans?"

Xue Yan took the detailed list handed over by Wang Hongxia, looked at it carefully, and found that Yang Feng had actually drawn three high-quality flying talismans. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Well, Yang Feng has been quite diligent in drawing talismans since he joined the Talisman Makers' Guild."

"Especially this month, a total of 75 first-grade, superior-quality flying escape talismans were submitted. Moreover, among the talismans submitted this time, there are also three exquisite-quality flying escape talismans. I estimate that he should have raised the level of drawing flying escape talismans to the perfect level."

When Wang Hongxia saw Xue Yan mentioned Yang Feng, she immediately added.

"Find out Yang Feng's personal information and show it to me."

Xue Yan saw that Yang Feng had handed in three top-grade, first-class flying talismans this time.

Naturally, he also knew that Yang Feng had most likely improved his drawing skills of this top-grade flying talisman to perfection.

However, he remembered that Yang Feng seemed to have obtained a first-grade, superior talisman maker certificate and joined their talisman maker union only half a year ago.

This means that Yang Feng only took half a year to improve his flying talisman drawing skills to a perfect level.

This made Xue Yan feel a little curious about Yang Feng.

After all, normally speaking, a talisman maker like Yang Feng, who has just obtained a first-grade high-quality talisman maker certificate, needs to improve the level of drawing a high-quality talisman to the perfect level.

Even if one's talent in talisman making is comparable to his, it would probably still take at least a year.

As a result, it only took Yang Feng half a year to improve his drawing skills of a first-grade top-grade talisman to perfection.

How could this not surprise him.

"Found it, President..."

After hearing Xue Yan's instructions, Wang Hongxia immediately found Yang Feng's personal information.

"Yang Feng, 43 years old."

"I graduated from Yunshi Talisman Making College. I obtained a first-grade lower-grade Talisman Making certificate at the age of 26, a first-grade middle-grade Talisman Making certificate at the age of 41, and a first-grade upper-grade Talisman Making certificate at the age of 43."

"Huh? This Yang Feng actually obtained the first-grade superior talisman maker certificate in just two years?"

After reading Yang Feng's information, Xue Yan noticed that Yang Feng only passed the first-level intermediate-grade talisman maker certificate at the age of 41, but passed the first-level high-grade talisman maker certificate at the age of 43.

This surprised him again.

If he hadn't just discovered that Yang Feng had only spent half a year to improve his level of drawing first-grade high-quality flying talismans to perfection.

The first thought in his mind was to suspect that Yang Feng had deliberately falsified the information during the examination.

"I seem to remember that Yang Feng seems to be Xu Wenqing's student. I believe he should be more familiar with Yang Feng's situation."

Although Xue Yan didn't have much contact with Yang Feng, he would occasionally pay attention to the messages in the Talisman Makers' Union communication group, so he had heard about the teacher-student relationship between Yang Feng and Xu Wenqing.

So, after hesitating for a moment, he still called Xu Wenqing.

I plan to ask Xu Wenqing for some specific information about Yang Feng.

When Xu Wenqing received a call from President Xue Yan, he was a little confused at first. After all, Xue Yan rarely contacted him on his own initiative.

However, when he learned that Xue Yan wanted to ask him about Yang Feng's situation, he immediately understood.

I know that the president must have noticed Yang Feng’s extraordinary talent in making talismans.

So he discovered that Yang Feng had a high talent in talisman making in the talisman making factory, and then accepted Yang Feng as his student.

He also told Xue Yan the detailed experience of teaching Yang Feng how to draw first-grade medium-quality and first-grade high-quality talismans.

"President, Yang Feng's talent for talisman making is much higher than mine. As far as I know, he only used up a little over a hundred pieces of first-grade, top-quality talisman paper to successfully draw his first first-grade, top-quality talisman."

"If I train well, I might become a second-level talisman maker like you in the future."

"If it weren't for his age, he would have been poached by the Tianxing Group by now."

After Xu Wenqing finished describing some of Yang Feng's situations, he added one more sentence at the end.

The reason why he had never mentioned to Xue Yan that Yang Feng was extremely talented in talisman making was mainly because it was difficult to convince people with talent in talisman making just by talking about it.

So he has been waiting for this day.

I hope that one day Xue Yan will be able to discover, like him, that Yang Feng has an extraordinary talent for making talismans.

Xu Wenqing didn't expect that this day would come earlier than he expected.

"It seems that the president still pays attention to the talisman-making progress of us guild members."

Xu Wenqing thought to himself.

If this student of his could get Xue Yan's guidance in the future, then it would be more certain that he would become a second-level talisman master.

After all, if you want to make rapid progress in the art of talisman making, you still need the guidance of a famous teacher.

However, he was just a more experienced first-grade superior talisman maker, and it was obvious that he could not train Yang Feng to become a second-grade talisman maker.

"I see."

Xue Yan heard Xu Wenqing say that Yang Feng had only studied with him for more than a year and had successfully obtained a first-class, top-grade talisman maker certificate.

I also have a clearer understanding of Yang Feng's talent in making talismans.

However, Xu Wenqing was Yang Feng's teacher after all, and Xue Yan was not sure whether the other party had exaggerated Yang Feng's talent in making talismans.

And even if Yang Feng has a high talent in making talismans, he still has to observe and see if Yang Feng is worthy of his training.

So he thought about it in his heart...

After carefully reading the talisman and report sent by Wang Hongxia and confirming that the amount was correct, he instructed Wang Hongxia: "Hongxia, next time this Yang Feng sends a talisman to the union, remember to call me and tell me what talisman he drew."

"it is good."

Wang Hongxia obviously also realized that Yang Feng was able to improve his level of drawing first-class high-grade flying talismans to perfection just half a year after passing the examination for a first-class high-grade talisman maker.

His talent for making talismans is extraordinary.

So he nodded and kept this in mind.

……

half a month later.

Yang Feng came to the Talisman Makers' Guild and gave Wang Hongxia the 22 first-grade, top-quality amulets he had drawn in the past two weeks in exchange for 66 contribution points.

When Wang Hongxia saw Yang Feng coming, she enthusiastically registered him. After Yang Feng left, she immediately informed Xue Yan of the news that Yang Feng had handed in a first-grade, top-quality amulet.

After Xue Yan received the news, he sent a message to the group the next day, informing everyone that he would explain the drawing techniques of first-grade top-grade amulets at the Talisman Makers' Union at 2 pm.

"what?"

"The sun rises from the west."

"This time, the president chose to explain the essentials of drawing a first-grade, top-grade amulet?"

Yang Feng was very surprised when he saw the notice sent by the president in the group.

You know, based on his observations over the past six months, when their president gives lectures to everyone, he basically explains talismans that are very difficult to draw, such as the first-grade, top-grade Xuanbing Talisman.

But I have never explained to you a talisman like the first-grade, top-quality amulet, which is relatively easy to draw.

Of course, it wasn't just Yang Feng. The other talisman makers were all a little surprised when they saw the notice sent by the president in the group.

I don’t know what the president is up to, he suddenly changed his personality.
