Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 57: The Method of the Wood Escape Talisman
Because he didn’t want to run into Luo Hongping and Lu Yunfang from next door.
Chu Ning deliberately chose to set off a bit earlier, arriving at the training field ahead of the two.
The training field of the Spirit Plant Room and the Transmission Room is in the same location, not far from the Spirit Plant Cultivation Area.
After Chu Ning arrived, there were already some people seated inside the training field.
However, for Chu Ning, these people were undoubtedly unfamiliar faces, so naturally, there was no greeting.
Chu Ning glanced around and found that there were quite a few seats in this training field.
Uncertain whether the seating in the field was assigned by order, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he simply chose a corner seat and sat down.
After a while, Lu Ming, Chen Jinhua, and others who were promoted together the day before also arrived.
Seeing where Chu Ning was seated, they also came over and sat down.
The six newly promoted members occupied the corner, which drew occasional glances from other disciples.
However, everyone seemed aware of the promotion matter, so there wasn’t much surprise.
As disciples arrived one after the other, the training field soon accommodated over two hundred people.
At the moment, Chu Ning looked at these people with an even more serious expression.
Aside from him, the lowest cultivation in the field was the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, and those at the sixth layer, besides the few newly promoted near him, were only a handful.
However, Chu Ning thought again and considered this normal.
Zone C is unlike the Outer Sect, where some talented but newly admitted disciples are present.
This Zone C consisted of servant disciples promoted from Zone D, not highly talented, and without a certain cultivation advantage, they could not ascend.
"Even with the real cultivation of the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, here in Zone C, I am at the bottom." Chu Ning muttered to himself.
Moreover, his exposed cultivation at this moment was only the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.
At this moment, he was not surprised anymore why everyone was so astonished when he advanced yesterday.
While Chu Ning was surveying like this, the entire training field suddenly became much quieter.
It was because He Changyou had already walked into the field and then sat in the front.
"Summoning all disciples from Zone C today serves only one purpose."
He Changyou spoke with his straightforward style, as he did the day before.
"Recently, the Sect intends to intensify the training of servant disciples, selecting some talented individuals and teaching them Cultivation Immortality Techniques."
Hearing this, everyone inside the training field was first slightly stunned, then faces broke into smiles.
After all, before this, even as Zone C disciples, apart from cultivation, only a few undertook the basic work of the Hundred Arts Hall.
Like Chu Ning, who was responsible for making Talisman Paper, belonged to one such class.
And now, hearing that they could genuinely practice, everyone was inevitably elated.
"It turned out to be true!" Chu Ning had eyes shining brightly at this moment.
The information Mu Ling revealed in advance turned out to be true, and what Chu Ning did not expect was how swift this all unfolded.
Indeed, it was officially announced just one day after he ascended to Zone C.
"Among the Cultivation Immortality Hundred Arts, without a doubt, the Pill Talisman Artifact Array is most significant." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
At the moment, He Changyou’s words continued.
"Most people in the Spirit Plant Room practice Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques, and among these four items, talisman making is the most fitting.
Of course, if you have confidence in other techniques, you can choose those too, and speak to me individually later."
As he spoke, He Changyou tossed out a stack of paper.
He spoke while casually flicking his wrist, and these papers split into sheets, flying to each person respectively.
"The classics in the Sect are precious, and not everyone can be taught the Talisman Making Technique.
This is a Talisman Making Technique for a Basic Lower Grade Wood Escape Talisman. Once you take it home, practice it for five days.
After five days, the ten with the highest talisman quality and success rates will be taught the art of talisman making."
Once He Changyou said this, the whole training field was in an uproar.
"Five days? Even though the Wood Escape Talisman is a Basic Lower Grade Talisman, how could it be mastered in five days?
What’s more, it requires a certain success rate."
"We have never learned talisman making, and you want us to master this Wood Escape Talisman in five days? It’s too difficult."
...
The sounds of discussion from everyone naturally reached He Changyou’s ears.
His expression grew slightly displeased, scanning the crowd with his gaze before speaking calmly:
"It seems you forgot what I first said: the Sect seeks talented individuals.
If you consider yourselves untalented and aren’t willing to invest five days to try, you can return this Talisman Making Technique to me."
Following He Changyou’s words, the venue immediately quieted down, and no one spoke.
Seeing this, He Changyou rose to leave, but as he was about to depart, he paused and turned to glance at everyone once again.
"If, in five days, your talisman making success rate does not reach twenty percent, you may not participate in the evaluation."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in disbelief—twenty percent? A twenty-percent success rate in five days?
Though many have not done talisman making before, they understood some things.
Even those talisman makers who frequently crafted and were familiar with talismans only had a four or five success rate at best.
As for those achieving over sixty percent, they were considered talents beyond ordinary.
With He Changyou’s departure, a wave of sighs swept through the training field.
At that moment, a young man, about twenty-eight or nine, who hadn’t spoken all along as a service disciple behind He Changyou, slowly spoke up.
"If you need to purchase a Talisman Brush and Talisman Ink from the sect, you can come to me. A Talisman Brush, a box of Talisman Ink, and 50 sheets of Talisman Paper for twelve Spirit Stones per set."
As the young man’s voice fell.
The crowd inside the field instantly erupted.
"Twelve Spirit Stones, it’s so expensive."
To the side, Jiang Dawei, who had been promoted alongside Chu Ning, turned slightly pale.
Obviously, for someone who had just come up from Zone D, twelve Spirit Stones truly wasn’t a small amount.
Even for Jiang Dawei, whose cultivation of the Spirit Field was better than others’, it was the income of an entire season of cultivation.
After all, not everyone could earn money as easily as Chu Ning by making Talisman Paper.
As a matter of fact, even the older disciples from Zone C showed expressions of reluctance at this moment.
A scholarly-looking person with fair complexion and features resembling those of a student was the first to shout.
"Senior Brother Liu, does the sect give us a test and also require us to buy the Talisman Brush and Talisman Ink ourselves? And at such a high price..."
"Take it or leave it." The service disciple referred to as Senior Brother Liu bluntly interrupted him.
The disciple’s face immediately froze.
Quickly, some disciples stood up, making their way to the Liu-named service disciple to purchase the Talisman Brush and Talisman Ink.
With someone taking the lead, others followed suit gradually.
Chu Ning, though already determined in his mind, didn’t rush to follow immediately.
First, he noticed Luo Hongping and Lu Yunfang promptly lined up in the queue, and then, after another twenty or so people had lined up behind them,
he stood up with a complex yet hesitant expression and joined the queue from behind.
Twelve Spirit Stones, no matter where you buy it, it’s still a purchase.
For Chu Ning, what excited him the most was,
finally having the opportunity to truly begin talisman making!
