Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"Senior Brother Lu, I heard you crafted a mid-grade first-rank spirit talisman a couple of days ago. That's amazing!"

Jiang Shi's words were full of admiration.

"Not at all, not at all. It was just a lucky breakthrough." Lu Wenyi's lips curled up, a hint of smugness in his expression.

In the Qingyun Sect, being able to successfully create a mid-grade first-class spirit talisman in just a few months is already considered one of the top talents.

It's safe to say that becoming a second-tier talisman-making master in the future is a certainty.

The status of a second-tier talisman-making master is not much lower than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Master Li, as a second-tier talisman-making master, is in charge of the Talisman-Making Hall and is on the same level as Lu Chuanxing, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in the Hall of Affairs.

"Senior brother, are you free today? I'd like to host a celebratory dinner at a restaurant," Jiang Shi said sincerely.

"Well... that's fine, that's fine too." Lu Wenyi had something to do today, but after hearing Jiang Shi say that, he felt embarrassed to refuse.

I had no choice but to agree.

Jiang Shi led the way to a restaurant frequented by outer disciples.

"Junior Brother Jiang, what brings you here?" Inside the restaurant, Zhou Yuan was greeting guests when he saw Jiang Shi enter, and he was somewhat surprised.

Aside from gatherings, outer disciples who started as menial servants would never come to this restaurant.

Unless it's a contribution task, Zhou Yuan would take on the job of helping out at the restaurant. Although it was hard work, the contribution points were higher.

"Senior Brother Zhou, we are having dinner with distinguished guests today. Could you please arrange a nice private room for me?" Jiang Shi said, bowing to Zhou Yuan.

"Distinguished guest?" Zhou Yuan looked at Lu Wenyi. Although he did not recognize him, he could tell from the small jade pendant and storage bag hanging from Lu's waist that he was a scion of a prominent family.

Zhou Yuan frowned, but didn't ask any further questions, and quickly arranged a good room for Jiang Shi.

Of course, good rooms are expensive, and the room fee alone costs five contribution points.

Including food and drink, a single meal would probably cost fifteen contribution points.

In other words, Jiang Shi was able to afford to eat it because he had the skill to make talismans.

Jiang Shi and Lu Wenyi entered the room.

With Zhou Yuan's help, the food and drinks were served quickly.

Although the food and wine are not spiritual objects, they are not mortal objects either; each dish contains a trace of spiritual power.

This is a dish prepared by a chef; its taste is extraordinary.

Thanks to Jiang Shi's deliberate flattery, Lu Wenyi enjoyed his meal very much.

Lu Wenyi usually buried himself in his cultivation and didn't have many friends.

Lu Wenyi, still a young boy, was not wary. After a few drinks, he started calling Jiang Shi his brother.

This is also because Jiang Shi has a good talent for making talismans. In Lu Wenyi's eyes, Jiang Shi's talent for making talismans is stronger than everyone else's, and the key point is that Jiang Shi's talent for making talismans is weaker than Lu Wenyi's.

This alone greatly increased Lu Wenyi's goodwill towards Jiang Shi.

Bringing Jiang Shi under our command in the future would also be a great help.

After several rounds of drinks, Jiang Shi, seeing that the time was ripe, seized an opportunity and said to Lu Wenyi:

"Senior Brother Lu, I keep failing when I try to make talismans lately. I don't know where I'm going wrong."

"I wonder if Senior Brother Lu could offer me some guidance?"

Lu Wenyi was slightly tipsy and, without thinking too much, began to share his talisman-making experience with Jiang Shi.

"Senior Brother Lu, you are indeed exceptionally talented. I admire you greatly."

Then, amidst Jiang Shi's endless flattery, Lu Wenyi beamed with joy.

Later, under Jiang Shi's deliberate guidance, he actually took out a magic brush and drew a talisman on the spot for Jiang Shi to see.

[Learned the first-tier spirit talisman "Fireball Talisman"]

[Learned the first-tier spirit talisman "Wooden Thorn Talisman"]

Lu Wenyi demonstrated talisman-making on the spot, directly teaching Jiang Shi the methods of creating two offensive talismans.

This further enhanced Jiang Shi's ability to protect himself.

Once I get back and make a first-grade superior attack talisman, I can consider going to Canglin City to deal with the extra talismans at home.

A first-grade superior spirit talisman is quite powerful, providing both offensive and defensive means for those in the late Qi Refining stage.

Like the first-grade superior water shield talisman he made before, which could block a full-force attack from a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Don't underestimate a single strike; with enough talismans, you can drag the enemy down until they run out of mana.

Having learned the first-grade attack talisman, Jiang Shi became even more enthusiastic towards Lu Wenyi.

Lu Wenyi is practically a gifted child of Dharma.

You should know that even a first-grade inheritance is extremely precious.

It would have cost 150 contribution points to buy it, but Jiang Shi only spent 15 contribution points to learn it.

They made a killing!

It seems I'll have to get to know Lu Wenyi better in the future; maybe I can find out his cultivation techniques.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Jiang Shi got up and went to pay the bill.

"Junior Brother Jiang, why did you spend so much today?" Zhou Yuan said with some heartache.

Jiang Shi spent fifteen contribution points on one meal.

In Zhou Yuan's eyes, this was a complete waste, since they could only earn fifteen points a month by doing contribution point tasks.

They never imagined that Jiang Shi could now create first-grade spirit talismans on his own.

"Hey, isn't this that handyman kid?" a familiar voice rang out.

Zhou Yuan saw the newcomer's brows furrowed, and Jiang Shi looked in the direction of the sound and also frowned.

It was Liang Yunlei!

"Junior Brother Jiang, ignore him and leave quickly. Don't act rashly," Zhou Yuan whispered to Jiang Shi.

He feared that Jiang Shi was young and impulsive, and it was perfectly normal for a young master from a prestigious family to verbally provoke a servant disciple.

This happens almost every day; those menial disciples who have spent a few years in the outer sect will choose to ignore them.

Anyway, the scions of powerful families wouldn't dare to actually make a move, and being scolded wouldn't hurt them much.

Jiang Shi was not impulsive; having awakened his memories of his past life, he was no fool.

With so many people around, he couldn't make a move. He secretly memorized Liang Yunlei's name and added him to his kill list.

If I ever encounter him outside again, I will kill him.

Jiang Shi ignored Liang Yunlei, treating him like a mad dog.

But unexpectedly, Liang Yunlei blocked Jiang Shi's way.

"Hey, you piece of trash, can't you hear me talking to you?" Liang Yunlei said provocatively.

Are you deaf?

Jiang Shi's talisman-making skills were superior to his, and the fact that a menial disciple could surpass him made him very unhappy.

I had a few drinks today and was a little tipsy, which is why I couldn't resist going up to cause trouble.

The wine in the outer gate restaurant is brewed by a special person; even someone in the late stage of Qi Refining would get drunk from drinking it.

Jiang Shi's furrowed brows relaxed, and looking at Liang Yunlei's provocative expression, he felt a surge of murderous intent.

The stronger his murderous intent, the more relaxed his expression became.

It was impossible to tell what Jiang Shi was really thinking.

"Liang Yunlei! What are you doing?!" A furious roar rang out from upstairs.

Lu Wenyi walked down with an angry expression.

"Hey Lu, what does this have to do with you? I advise you not to get involved!" Liang Yunlei didn't take Lu Wenyi seriously either.

His grandfather was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and an elder in the inner sect.

Lu Wenyi's grandfather and father were both only at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Even though Lu Wenyi was a member of the Lu family, he was not afraid at all.
