Chapter 32: The Two-Person Transaction, the Golden Light Mantra

Shi Jian, who was about to send Lin Fengjiao to learn how to draw talismans, did not expect that the Third Elder would appear in front of him so suddenly. He was also shocked by the Third Elder's actions.

"Uh... Third Elder, what are you doing?"

The third elder didn't care about that. He took out another talisman and placed it on the table.

"Brother Shi Jian, come here and draw it according to this spell!"

The extremely excited Third Elder did not notice the embarrassment on Shi Jian's face at this moment, but he was an elder after all, so Shi Jian couldn't refuse, especially since the relationship between him and the Third Elder was so delicate now.

"Third Elder, please wait a moment. Shi Jian will try it now."

After saying that, Shi Jian took a deep breath. Compared with the talisman of speed, the patterns on this talisman were much more complicated, and it was obviously more advanced.

Even though Shi Jian didn't know much about drawing talismans, he understood that drawing more advanced talismans was generally quite difficult.

Concentrating his mind and calming his spirit, he lightly tapped the cinnabar on the wolf-hair brush in his hand, and in an instant the brush dropped it onto the yellow paper. He dotted the Three Pure Ones on top and the Talisman Gate on the bottom, and ordered the general to come here to suppress the power. It was done in one go. As the majestic true energy in his body gathered at the tip of the brush and poured into the yellow paper, the whole talisman seemed to come alive, full of unique charm.

The Third Elder did not miss a single detail of this scene, and stared intently at Shi Jian's every stroke of the pen. Even though he was not familiar with the writing, his writing flowed like a dragon, with the style of a great master!

and……

This is not the most important thing. The third elder discovered that after Shi Jian injected his true energy into it, the corpse-suppressing talisman had become of very good quality.

“Hahaha, hahaha!

God bless Maoshan, God bless the art of talismans!

"Master Shi Jian, your talent for talismans is something I have never heard of or seen before. You are so naturally gifted. In the future, Maoshan will surely have another talisman master, or even an immortal master!"

At this moment, the Third Elder was so excited that he no longer cared about being in the classroom or the looks from other disciples...

It's no wonder. Anyone who knows that the path he or she practices has a talented successor will find it difficult to remain calm. What's more, drawing the gold and silver talismans is the lifelong pursuit of the Third Elder.

Shi Jian was a little at a loss, but soon a slightly cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Without saying a word, he sat quietly and watched the third elder's next performance...

However, as the saying goes, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are. Shi Jian was able to remain calm, but the fellow disciples behind him could not!

Lin Fengjiao opened her mouth wide at this moment. The Third Elder's words just now were very clear. This senior brother of hers could draw a finished talisman just by taking a look. Is this something that ordinary people can imagine?
Bitter...

Full of bitterness, although Lin Fengjiao knew that she could not match the senior brother in the art of talismans, she still believed that she could complete the drawing in one stick of incense and it would not be far off.

But he didn't know that all this was just his own fantasy. His senior brother was simply a natural saint!
This is what Lin Fengjiao is thinking at the moment...

Beside him, Yinggu had a complicated expression, and when she looked at Shi Jian, there was even more fear and respect in her eyes.

Looking at the somewhat lonely Lin Fengjiao, Yinggu wanted to speak, but found that what could she say?

It seems like there is nothing I can do...

Simu was different. After hearing the Third Elder's evaluation of Senior Brother Shi Jian, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up directly!
"Hahaha, Senior Brother is amazing. We are simply astonished. Fellow junior brothers, we must all learn from Senior Brother from now on!"

With a wave of his arm, the other disciples behind him also responded.

In the entire Talisman Hall, there was constant exclamation of praise for a while.

After a long time, the Third Elder finally calmed himself down, and his gaze towards Shi Jian was still extremely passionate. However, as he was now the lecturer of all the disciples, he could only suppress the excitement in his heart for the time being.

"quiet!
You have also seen how talented your eldest brother is, yet he remains calm and composed. This skill of cultivating his qi is worth learning from.

Now, let me guide you one by one..."

After he finished speaking, the Third Elder took out a few complicated talismans and placed them on Shi Jian's desk.

"Junior Brother Shi Jian, you can continue to practice drawing new talismans."

After saying that, the third elder walked towards the other disciples and began to carefully teach them the tricks of drawing talismans.

As for Shi Jian, he looked at the new talismans on his desk, pretending to have no interest at all, and began to practice with his eyes closed...

The third elder did not expect Shi Jian to be like this. After teaching everyone one by one, he inadvertently noticed Shi Jian's face with his eyes slightly closed.

Suddenly, the Third Elder's originally extremely joyful expression changed, and deep sorrow filled his brows.

"It seems you are still not interested..."

Deep in his heart, the Third Elder couldn't help but sigh heavily. This was expected. Shi Jian was originally the disciple of the headmaster, and he couldn't influence Shi Jian's cultivation direction too much. Even if he hoped that Shi Jian could persist and carry forward the art of Maoshan talismans, he also understood that Shi Jian had many other tasks.

Apart from anything else, if you want to cultivate to the level of Golden Elixir True Lord, it will take a very long time and hard work.

What's more, Maoshan has other more powerful magical powers, so this talisman technique seems useless.

For a moment, the Third Elder seemed to have lost his soul. His words became stiff. While teaching other disciples, he looked at Shi Jian with hope from time to time, but he always shook his head and sighed in disappointment.

The whole morning passed so quickly that the 72nd generation of disciples basically knew what the art of talismans meant, the difficulty of drawing them, how to draw them, etc.

It's been a fruitful harvest...

Seeing that the day was about to end, Shi Jian finally woke up, yawned deliberately, and looked at the sad face of the third elder, and suddenly he felt confident!

Sure enough, when it came to the end, the third elder decided to make his final effort.

"That's all for today's study. You can practice diligently after you go back. This talisman technique is both difficult and easy. It all depends on how hard you work.

By the way, Junior-Martial Brother Shi Jian will stay for now, the other disciples can leave now!"

"I obey your command. Thank you for your teaching today, Third Elder!"

Even though other disciples were puzzled as to why the Third Elder would leave the eldest senior brother Shi Jian alone, how could they inquire about such a thing?

Just politely leave.

Soon, only Shi Jian and the three elders were left in the entire hall...

Shi Jian took a deep breath, his expression calm.

"I wonder why the Third Elder left Shi Jian alone?"

Shi Jian was the first to break the silence, which made the Third Elder look a little embarrassed. Indeed, it was a little against the rules for him to leave the other party alone like this, but for the future revitalization of the Maoshan talisman technique, he could not care about anything else!

"Junior Brother Shi Jian, your talent for talismans is unprecedented in history, why are you unwilling to practice diligently?

You know, this talisman technique is an important magical power of Maoshan. If you can draw gold and silver talismans in the future, it will be an unimaginable contribution to the entire Maoshan!"

Shi Jian pretended to be embarrassed, with a hint of bitterness on his face.

"Hey!

I understand Third Elder's thoughts. Although the talisman technique is important, I still need to practice Qi cultivation all the time. In addition, Master has passed down the Lightning Thunder Fist, a magical power of thunder, so I am powerless..."

Hearing about the Lightning Thunder Fist, the Third Elder was stunned. No wonder the other party was not interested in the art of talismans. So that's it!
but……

In this way, the only hope in the Third Elder’s heart would be shattered.

With the last bit of desire, the third elder took a deep breath.

"This is really embarrassing for me, but even though I don't practice martial arts in private, can you be more serious in class?"

Now, the Third Elder can only temporarily let Shi Jian not give up in class, and the rest can be planned later.

Unfortunately, Shi Jian had already set a trap, waiting for the Third Elder to fall into it!
“This… Third Elder, I’m afraid Shi Jian is not good enough either. This time when I came down the mountain, I was fully aware of my own inadequacies in defense. I had no defensive magical powers, so I closed my eyes and practiced the physical training techniques passed down by my master during class.

I’m afraid there’s no time…”

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder looked at Shi Jian and his expression changed immediately. How could he not see that this little fox was waiting here!
"Let's be frank, Junior Brother Shi Jian, tell me, how can I concentrate on my practice?"

Shi Jian took a look and decided to reveal his cards.

“Third Elder, Shi Jian is not lying. We are indeed lacking a defensive magical power. I heard that the Golden Light Mantra is one of the eight great Taoist mantras with infinite power. I wonder… hehe!”

"So this is what you, little fox, are thinking!
The Taoist priest has agreed to this matter. What's wrong with teaching you the Golden Light Mantra?
But you have to promise to practice well in class from now on!"

"Shi Jian will definitely study the art of talismans diligently in class and will never let down the Third Elder's teachings!"

For a moment, the old man and the young man both laughed...

　Golden Light Divine Curse Hey, I'll learn the art of talismans in class. This deal should be worthwhile...

　　Everyone, please take a look before you criticize me. I'm not deliberately not wanting to learn. I'm just pretending to be lazy and making a deal with the Third Elder. Otherwise, if you study seriously, will he be willing to give you the Golden Light Mantra?
