Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Lin Bei suddenly realized and slapped his forehead: "That's right, with Master's secret stash, he definitely has the materials for the blue talisman."

Without saying a word, he rushed out of the room and went straight to find Shi Jian.

In the rear hall of the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, Shi Jian was meditating.

After Lin Bei explained his purpose, he glanced at him expressionlessly, then took out a large pile of things from his spatial artifact and threw them in front of him.

All the materials for drawing blue talismans and various talisman inks were readily available.

"Is that enough?" Shi Jian asked.

"That's enough!" Lin Bei nodded repeatedly, picked up his things, and was about to leave.

"stop."

Lin Bei paused in his steps.

"Since you're here, why don't you go and ask your grandmaster for another one?"

Shih Kin's voice remained calm. "His materials are better than mine."

Lin Bei's lips twitched. So you want me to fleece my master?

However, since it was his master who spoke, he didn't stand on ceremony.

Upon arriving at the main hall of the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, they found Master Qingwei discussing matters with several elders.

After Lin Bei explained his purpose, Master Qingwei shook his head and smiled, then took out a jade box from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"This contains specially made talisman paper and blood ink, which increases the success rate of drawing blue talismans by 10% compared to ordinary materials."

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

Lin Bei happily returned to his room with the materials and began his career of drawing blue talismans.

For the next two days, he spent all his time drawing blue talismans except for eating and sleeping.

Blue talismans are much more difficult to obtain than yellow talismans, and each one requires a large amount of mental and magical energy.

He ruined a lot of his paintings, but his success rate was gradually improving.

On the night before departure, Lin Bei took stock of the supplies in his space stone.

There were nearly four hundred yellow talismans and dozens of blue talismans, most of which were thunder and fire talismans, and the rest were some targeted talismans for suppressing corpses and calming souls.

Looking at the thick stack of blue talismans, Lin Bei felt much more at ease.

With food in hand, there's no need to panic!

Three days later, Master Qingwei summoned all the disciples of Maoshan who had participated in the Luotian Grand Ritual.

More than ten disciples stood in the square in front of Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace.

Besides Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian, there was also Shen Changfeng from Yuanfu Wanning Palace, Ye Qing from Chongxi Wanshou Palace, and other disciples from the Three Palaces and Five Temples.

Most of these people were at the level of a mage, except for Ye Qing, who was still at the level of a Daoist Master. The weakest among them was at the mid-stage of a mage.

Besides Lin Bei, the strongest among them is Shen Changfeng, who is at the early stage of the True Person realm.

Shen Changfeng was in his thirties, dressed in an indigo-blue Taoist robe, and had a calm demeanor.

He is a rising star among the younger generation of Yuanfu Wanning Palace. He doesn't talk much, but he is extremely diligent in his cultivation.

"Junior Brother Lin, I've heard so much about you." Shen Changfeng cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Bei.

"You're too kind, Senior Brother Shen," Lin Bei returned the greeting.

"This time, the Luotian Grand Ritual will be led by Shi Jian."

Master Qingwei's voice echoed throughout the square, "After you arrive at Longhu Mountain, you shall follow Shi Jian's arrangements."

"Yes!" the disciples replied in unison.

Shi Jian stood at the front of the group, expressionless.

"Set off."

The group traveled along the official road towards Longhu Mountain.

Lin Bei and Shen Changfeng got along very well along the way. Both of them were at the early stage of True Person cultivation and had a lot in common.

Shi Shaojian, on the other hand, sparred and exchanged ideas with several other disciples who were at the level of a mage, so he wasn't lonely.

After traveling for seven days, a series of mountain ranges appeared ahead.

Longhu Mountain is located on the banks of the Xinjiang River. Although the mountain is not very high, it exudes a natural and spiritual charm.

A huge plaque hangs above the mountain gate, bearing the three gilded characters "Celestial Master's Mansion," written in a vigorous and powerful style, exuding a sharp and fierce aura.

A number of groups had already gathered in front of the mountain gate, with disciples from various sects and schools huddled together in twos and threes.

Lin Bei looked around and recognized many familiar faces.

The Wudang Sect, the Kongtong Sect, the Shenxiao Sect, the Gezao Mountain Sect, the Laoshan Sect... almost every sect that could be named sent people.

He soon spotted Zhang Zhiling, who was standing in the ranks of the Celestial Master's Mansion disciples, waving at him.

Lin Bei bowed to him as a greeting.

"Junior brother, look over there," Shi Shaojian whispered as he leaned closer.

Lin Bei looked in the direction he pointed and saw a group of people parked on the other side of the mountain gate.

The leader was a dignified-looking middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a purple Taoist robe.

He was followed by a dozen disciples, one of whom, a handsome young Taoist priest, was looking in their direction when his gaze met Lin Bei's.

"That's a group from the Quanzhen Sect."

Shi Shaojian whispered, "Isn't that the leader the patriarch of the Quanzhen Sect?"

Lin Bei's gaze sharpened; he had the deepest impression of this ancestor.

After all, he was the first Celestial Master he had ever met...

The young Taoist priest from the Quanzhen Sect lingered on him for a moment before looking away.

But in that instant, Lin Bei sensed a powerful aura.

"That's Qiu Xuanji, a rising star of the younger generation of the Quanzhen Sect, with a cultivation level of mid-stage True Person," Shi Shaojian said solemnly.

Lin Bei silently memorized the name.

The group continued up the mountain path, walking for more than half an hour.

A huge bluestone plaza appeared, at the end of which stood the main hall of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain, Zhengyi Temple.

Zhengyi Temple is magnificent, with a couplet engraved on two stone pillars in front of the main hall.

First line: The elixir of immortality was forged in the Longhu Mountains.

The second line reads: Within the Celestial Master's Mansion, one cultivates the Great Dao and proves the profound mysteries.

Horizontal scroll: The True One Mysterious Gate!

Shi Jian led the group toward the main hall of the Celestial Master's Mansion, where the leaders and elders of various sects were already waiting.

Lin Bei was left outside to stay with the disciples from various sects.

The disciples from different factions sized each other up in the square, and the atmosphere of secret competition was quite obvious.

Lin Bei led Bai Ling around the square, and many people came up to greet him.

"You're Lin Bei?"

A voice came from behind.

Lin Bei turned around and saw a young Taoist priest wearing a moon-white robe standing a few steps away.

The man was tall and slender, with an ancient longsword hanging at his waist, and had a cold and aloof demeanor.

"I am. And you are?"

"Wudang, Qingxuzi."

The man nodded slightly. "I've heard so much about you."

"polite."

Qingxuzi looked at him for a while, then turned and walked away.

Lin Bei watched his retreating figure, sensing that the man seemed somewhat hostile towards him, but he wasn't quite sure.

"This person is the number one among the younger generation of the Wudang Sect, with the cultivation level of an early True Person."

Zhang Zhiling approached at some point and said, "Be careful, this person is very cunning."

"Brother Zhang!" Lin Bei turned around and saw that the person who came was Zhang Zhiling. The two patted each other on the shoulder.

"How do you know everything?"

Zhang Zhiling smiled and said, "I am from the Celestial Master's Mansion, so I have some understanding of the disciples of various sects."

As the two were chatting, several familiar disciples gathered around.

Zhou Xuanqing of the Shenxiao Sect, a female disciple of the Emei Sect, and several other disciples from various sects whom they had met before at the Shi Jian Celestial Master Ceremony.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, it's been a long time."

"I heard you got into a fight with people from the Western Vatican the other day?"

"That cardinal was killed by your master, wasn't he? That's incredible!"

Everyone started chatting animatedly, and Lin Bei responded to each question without hesitation.
