Chapter 30: Yellow, Blue, Silver, and Gold, Collection of Talismans
In the Elders' Hall, all the inner sect elders from all the halls of Maoshan were sitting quietly, and the first one was the head sect leader Wuchenzi.
At this moment, all the elders' minds were focused on the Talisman Hall which was a hundred meters away. When the Third Elder released his breath fluctuations, most of them knew him well and were aware that the Third Elder's cultivation at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building would definitely shock these little guys.
but……
It was not until they caught the breath fluctuations of Shi Jian, who was at the seventh level of Qi training, that their faces suddenly became unsettled.
Although the Great Elder understood from the beginning that Shi Jian might be extremely powerful, the seventh level of Qi training still made him breathe heavily. He was only twelve years old!
Not to mention the other elders, each of them looked at Wu Chenzi with sharp eyes, and in their eyes there was not only fear but also deep joy.
It was as if he was waiting for Wu Chenzi to admit it in person!
After taking a quick look around, Wu Chenzi smiled bitterly, even though his disciple had told him at the beginning that he would reveal some of his cultivation today in order to avoid being disturbed by other ignorant fellow disciples.
but……
Shi Jian didn't say that he would reveal the seventh level of Qi training!
Of course, after smiling bitterly, he looked at the strong envy in the eyes of his fellow apprentices below, and suddenly felt happy in his heart.
He smiled faintly and looked at everyone.
"My fellow disciples, you have sensed it correctly. Shi Jian has made rapid progress in his cultivation. He has now barely reached the seventh level of Qi training.
There is no other way. Everyone knows that practicing Qi is not the same as practicing Dharma, so it is understandable that the speed is a bit slower."
After saying this, Wu Chenzi tried his best to control the corners of his mouth that were about to rise. His half-smiley expression made many elders twitch...
Even the Great Elder frowned a little. His own head teacher was pretending!
However, it is normal to think about it. If he had a disciple like Shi Jian, wouldn't he be very proud?
Sect Leader Wuchenzi admitted it himself, and after a brief moment of envy and surprise, the elders below calmed down.
Shi Jian's talent is so terrifying that it is definitely great news for Maoshan. However, if this news gets out, it may not be a good thing.
The various Taoist sects were fine. Although there was some competition between Maoshan and them, it was ultimately an internal conflict within Taoism, so Shi Jian's safety was still guaranteed.
But it’s hard to say about Buddhism…
What's more, apart from this, the demons and evil spirits in the world will definitely not sit idly by and watch the appearance of a future Golden Elixir True Lord like Shi Jian!
It can be said that the challenges Shi Jian will face in the future will still be daunting.
As for Maoshan, as the protector of Shi Jian's road to heaven, it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. There will be no problem if Shi Jian does not go down the mountain. But once Shi Jian goes down the mountain, it will be hard to say.
"Master, we will not spread the news of what happened to Junior Brother Shi Jian today, and we disciples will never leak even a single word!
The news about Junior-Junior Brother Shi Jian should be leaked as late as possible.
Maoshan, a future Golden Elixir Master, we all understand the significance of this!"
After Elder Wu stood up and finished speaking, he looked at his fellow disciples from other halls, and they all stood up and echoed him.
In their eyes, although Maoshan is not a monolithic entity, Shi Jian is no longer just a disciple of the headmaster.
If Shi Jian really rises to become a Golden Core True Lord in the future, it will absolutely be full of temptation for all of their elders!
In fact, there was no need for Elder Wu to remind us of this matter, as everyone knew it deep down in their hearts.
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Wu Chenzi's originally gentle eyes suddenly changed, and an extremely shocking aura flashed by!
"Please rest assured, fellow disciples. Shi Jian is not only my direct disciple, but also the cornerstone of the future Maoshan's mainstay. I will definitely not let anything happen to this kid during his growth!"
After saying that, Wu Chenzi regained his composure, and many elders also looked at each other. From today on, in addition to being the elders of the various halls of Maoshan, they also have a Shi Jian protector!
Wu Chenzi looked at the expressions of his fellow disciples and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shi Jian did not reveal his tenth-level Qi training level and his superb Lightning Thunder Fist.
Otherwise, my fellow disciples would probably become even crazier, and it is very likely that they would treat Shi Jian as a treasure.
..........................................
Shi Jian in the Talisman Hall had no idea that he had only released some breath fluctuations and shocked all the inner sect elders in the Elder Hall. At this moment, he had a blank expression on his face, and after he sat down quietly, the whole hall fell silent.
All the 72nd generation disciples were almost stunned by Shi Jian's move. In addition to being shocked, they couldn't stop trembling...
They were wondering, they were all part of the same group of people who went into the mountains to practice Taoism, so why was Shi Jian so outstanding?
Although Shi Jian has always been the undisputed first in the competition.
If we were to say who was the most shocked, it would be Lin Fengjiao behind Shi Jian.
Some time ago, his master said that the gap between him and Shi Jian was not that big, just a little bit. But when he saw them today, it was like a world of difference. It was not just a little bit at all!
Lin Fengjiao was numb. With such a huge gap, was it really possible for him to catch up?
Just as Lin Fengjiao fell into self-doubt, the third elder in the hall also calmed himself down and coughed, bringing all the disciples back to reality.
"I'm sure you've all seen that Shi Jian is the master's direct disciple. He has such strength. Don't be discouraged. You should encourage yourself in the future."
"We should remember this and take our senior brother as our role model!"
After hearing the Third Elder's words, all the disciples were excited. At first, they all felt that it was a proud thing to be able to join Maoshan and become an inner sect elder's disciple.
Although they also practiced hard, they fantasized about how powerful they were all day long. Now facing Shi Jian, their fantasies were completely shattered, and a fighting spirit was ignited deep in their hearts!
Good fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows good fortune. It is hard to say whether a bite or a drink is right or wrong.
Seeing that everything has returned to normal, the third elder is about to officially start the class.
"As one of the three great talisman sects, you little guys must have heard so many stories about Maoshan that you should have calluses on your ears. Now is the time to start learning how to draw talismans. It's time for you to see the magic of talisman techniques!"
After saying that, the Third Elder took out a yellow talisman from his hand, pinched his fingers, and the yellow talisman flew out and exploded in the void, creating a sea of fire that was no weaker than the full-strength attack of a fourth or fifth-level Qi training cultivator.
"This is an explosive talisman. As long as you have the mana and true energy in your body to activate it, you can use it. Its power is also extraordinary.
It is also surprisingly effective against common evil spirits."
After saying this, without waiting for the surprise on the faces of many disciples to disappear, the Third Elder took out a yellow talisman. The yellow talisman entered the void and turned into a golden light, forming a defensive shield that protected the Third Elder.
"This is the Golden Light Talisman, which is derived from the Golden Light Divine Mantra, one of the Eight Great Taoist Mantras. It has extremely strong defensive capabilities."
At this moment, everyone was concentrating, even Shi Jian was interested, but not in the golden talisman, but in the golden spell!
"It can be said that talismans are the most basic and most useful magic for us at Maoshan. Other magical arts are difficult to practice, but only the talisman technique has the best cost-effectiveness.
Of course, drawing talismans is not something that can be done casually. A monk who has reached the stage of practicing Qigong can easily draw yellow talismans with the magic power and true Qi in his body.
A true person who has established his foundation can use the true energy and magic power in his body to draw blue talismans.
As for higher-level talismans, you just need to know about them, but don't aim too high!
Silver talismans are fine, but gold talismans can only be drawn by a Jindan Zhenjun..."
After saying that, the Third Elder looked at the disciples below with a look of satisfaction on his face, because these little guys were listening very carefully!
The art of talismans is a compromise magical power. The gifted eldest brother will certainly not study this thing in depth. However, Taoist magical powers such as the Golden Light Mantra are just right for him!
As it happens, Shi Jian also lacks a defensive magical power...
