Chapter 116 - 116: Immortal Ascencion Flower
The mighty and melodious bell rang, and everyone in the entire mystic realm could hear it.
Before leaving, He Qingge carefully observed the entire mystic realm.
He hoped that he could have an independent world.
It was said that those in the Grotto Heaven Realm could nurture a space that belonged to oneself. However, that was still too far away. It was not something that a small figure like him could think about.
As the bell rang, He Qingge and the others were expelled from the mystic realm. They arrived at a huge square.
Their group of people seemed rather small in the middle of the square.
None of the people who came out spoke, and the entire square seemed rather quiet.
The elders stood in midair and looked down at them.
“Very good. All of you with flags have passed. You’ll receive the corresponding treatment according to the number of flags you have.
“But there is one person among you.
“He Qingge!”
He Qingge’s name resounded throughout the entire square.
Zheng Zhongxuan, who was sitting in front of the table, was also secretly sweating.
The crowd immediately began to stir, trying to find out who He Qingge was.
He Qingge was quite calm as he waited for the elder’s follow-up.
“In view of the extraordinary techniques you used in the mystic realm, we need to verify whether you’re a level-two array master and a level-two talisman master.
“We’ll also have to check if all the talismans you have were refined yourself.
“Any questions?
“I accept the test and appraisal.” He Qingge stood out calmly.
“He’s He Qingge.”
Instantly, many people present recognized He Qingge.
After all, the impression that night had left on them was too deep.
Many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators surrounded and attacked a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, but in the end, they were not able to defeat him. Some fled, and some were expelled from the mystic realm.
It was simply embarrassing.
“I knew it. How could a mortal realm cultivator block the attacks of so many of us? He must have cheated.”
“That’s right. Otherwise, how could he be so much better?”
All sorts of sighs and mocking voices rang out.
Many people wanted to use this to cover up their incompetence, but most of them were silent.
“Alright, come with me!” Elder Yuan Dao waved his hand lightly, and He Qingge’s body flew out uncontrollably.
As Yuan Dao turned into a stream of light, he disappeared into the horizon.
He arrived at the exclusive talisman crafting pavilion ot the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace.
The pavilion was very tall, and it was unknown how many floors there were. From the outside, one could not tell the difference.
Yuan Dao brought He Qingge to the third level. When they passed through the first and second levels, many people turned their gazes toward them.
All the disciples saluted Yuan Dao. He Qingge could not see the cultivation of many of them clearly, but they should be at least in the Golden Core Realm.
He Qingge’s spiritual will was already quite powerful through a series of continuous tempering such as pill refinement, talisman creation, and weapon refinement. It was completely comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If he could not sense their cultivation, then they were at least at the Golden Core Realm.
It seemed that this elder had a high status in the sect.
As expected of the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, the quality of their disciples was very high.
He could casually encounter cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Pushing open one of the doors on the third floor, a woman in white was drawing talismans inside.
The room was filled with the faint smell of ink. It was the Spirit Bamboo Ink.
The woman had the spirit brush in her hand. Her temperament was extraordinary and her actions were elegant. The strokes in her hand were very nimble. Under the simple outline, mysterious patterns appeared.
He Qingge could not tell what kind of talisman she was drawing. He had never seen such a talisman before. The fluctuations on it showed that it should be higher than a level-two talisman.
The woman’s head was slightly lowered, and her appearance could not be seen clearly. However, her overall temperament was quite elegant, clean, and quiet.
Even when the two of them entered, it was as if she had not noticed them. She was completely immersed in the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone in her hands.
It was as if she was a fairy that was independent of the human world, untainted by dust, and quietly independent.
He Qingge stared at the brush in her hand carefully, wanting to learn from her.
However, the woman’s brush was too steady, too fast, and too nimble.
Even though he boasted that his current talisman creation was quite brilliant among the level-two masters, he still failed to see the woman’s steps clearly.
An expert!
He Qingge immediately knew that the woman’s talisman-making skill was far superior to his.
“Lil Ke, help me test his level.” Elder Yuan Dao broke the silence. “Grandpa, you don’t knock every time you come in.”
The woman with an indifferent expression was helpless.
“Only in this way can you train your will and not be moved by external things.
Only then can you reach the highest realm of talisman-drawing.” “Grandpa, you can go out now. I’m going to ignore you!”
“Cough cough… Drawing talismans also requires a balance between work and rest. ”
“Tell me, why are you looking for me?”
As the woman spoke, her clear eyes stared at He Qingge.
His eyes were extremely bright, like a clear spring. It gave people a rather peaceful feeling.
“Help me test this kid’s talisman creation skill. Heavenly Thunder Talisman, Lightning Fire Talisman, Gale Blade, Golden Bell Shield, Golden Armor Talisman, Protective Talisman…
The talismans that Yuan Dao mentioned were all talismans that He Qingge had used in the mystic realm.
“There are so many kinds. What did he do?” The woman was surprised.
“He didn’t do anything wrong. I just want you to test his talisman-making skills.
“During the selection process, he used a power that exceeded his own level, so he needs to be specially examined.”
“Beyond his own level, which means that he refined level-two talismans in the Qi Refinement Realm. I didn’t expect him to be a little genius!” The corners of the woman’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Come, let me test your skill.”
The woman waved at He Qingge, signaling him to come to her seat.
He Qingge walked over calmly. He was very clear about his own level.
“We have all the talisman-making tools on this side. You can choose the tools you need to draw the talismans that my grandfather mentioned.”
He Qingge nodded and glanced at the table as well as the surrounding supplies.
Very quickly, he chose all the things he needed. He picked up the spirit brush and wrote in one go.
There was no pause in the middle. A Heavenly Thunder Talisman was drawn perfectly just like that.
“A high-grade Heavenly Thunder Talisman.” The moment the woman saw the talisman drawn, she was surprised.
A mortal realm cultivator could actually draw a level-two high-grade Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
The difference between low-grade, middle-grade and high-grade was huge.
She had thought that he would be able to draw a low-grade talisman at most, or perhaps a middle-grade talisman.
She did not expect that the first Heavenly Thunder Talisman would be a perfectly drawn high -grade talisman.
His skills in making talismans were simply heaven-defying!
The woman’s thoughts suddenly drifted back to the time when she was making talismans.
When she was at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, he seemed to have barely drawn a few high-grade talismans , but she was already called a peerless genius by her sect.
While she was in a daze, the second Lightning Fire Talisman was also completed. It was also a high-grade talisman.
The third and fourth talismans were the same.
When the woman saw the talismans that had been drawn, she was a little silent. She was quite shocked.
There was a slight mistake on the fifth talisman, so it was a middle grade.
The sixth was also a middle-grade talisman.
The seventh was a high-grade talisman.
The woman was already completely silent. She was quite shocked.
“How long have you been learning how to make talismans?”
He Qingge pondered for a moment. “20 years!”
He had indeed started to make talismans a long time ago. However, because his talent was not very good, he had stopped for a long time. Later on, he started again after learning the Great Wisdom Scripture.
The woman heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. Fortunately, he had been studying for a long time.
“Looks like this kid’s skills for creating talismans aren’t weak!” Yuan Dao said.
“Very impressive. Seven talismans—five high-grade, two middle-grade, and not a single one failed. His talent can be said to be terrifying.”
The woman could not help but praise.
Today, He Qingge had performed exceptionally well. Usually, the success rate of high-grade talismans was only 50%.
“A person who can be praised by you like this seems to be quite good.” Yuan
Dao smiled. It seemed like he had really encountered a treasure this time.
“Kid, are you willing to take me as your master?” “I already have a master.” He Qingge frowned.
“No one said that you can’t have two masters, right?
“After becoming my disciple, you can do whatever you want in the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace.”
He Qingge subconsciously looked at the woman.
“Of course, if you like my granddaughter, I can support you from behind to pursue her.”
“Grandpa!” The woman’s face was slightly red as she let out a coquettish laugh. “Greetings, Master.” He Qingge bowed.
“Child, don’t you already have a master? This isn’t how you should pay your respects.” Yuan Dao was surprised.
“I won’t kneel to the heavens and earth, I won’t kneel to the people,” He Qingge said calmly.
“Hahaha… Alright, I like this kind of unconventional disciple.” Yuan Dao smiled.
“Since you’re my disciple, now I’ll give you a greeting gift!”
As he spoke, a treasure floated in his hand.
It was a flower that emitted a faint fluorescent light. It was quite beautiful and flickered with nine colors. It gave off a dreamlike feeling.
“What is this?” He Qingge had never seen such a rare flower before. Even the ancient books of the Tian Xuan Sect did not have records of it.
“Immortal Ascension Flower!” the woman said.
He Qingge said, “What a big name.”
“You can also call it the Foundation Building Flower,” the woman explained. “This flower can increase the quality of your foundation. It’s very suitable for you now.”
“You’re at the peak of Qi Refinement and about to build your foundation. This flower can not only consolidate and strengthen your foundation, but it can also increase your success rate of building your foundation and improve the quality of your Dao foundation.”
He Qingge was surprised. “That’s so exaggerated. This gift is much too valuable!”
Yuan Dao had a sage-like appearance. “You’re my disciple, so naturally, I should make you stronger.”
He Qingge was speechless for a long time. His two masters seemed to treat him too well.
“Thank you for your reward, Master. ”
He Qingge naturally would not let go of the opportunity to have a powerful backer. He would not push away the benefits that he could obtain..
