Chapter 34: Three Months Later, the Trial Arrives

Wu Chenzi's attitude towards Shi Jian's learning the art of drawing talismans was to be described as indifferent.

From the perspective of his disciple's future development, Wu Chenzi does not want Shi Jian to practice too many magical powers.

I am worried that Shi Jian might bite off more than he can chew, which would ultimately affect his ability to achieve Golden Elixir True Lord or even go further!
This kind of situation is too numerous to count among the countless generations of disciples in Maoshan, which has been passed down for thousands of years...

However, Shi Jian's identity is too special. In addition to being Wu Chenzi's apprentice, he is also the eldest brother among the 72nd generation of disciples.

In the future, he will most likely become the helmsman of Maoshan if he can possess the skills of a talisman master.

Not to mention anything else, just some gold and silver talismans are enough to support Maoshan's heritage for a hundred years!
after all……

When a Maoshan master who has established his foundation goes out, he will have two talismans, a gold talisman and a silver talisman.

Well, unless the Golden Core True Lord takes action himself, the Maoshan Foundation Establishing True Lord is simply invincible.

This kind of temptation is too great for the entire Maoshan sect...

Therefore, Wu Chenzi neither stopped it nor strongly supported it.

Like a gust of wind, he only hopes that his disciples can recognize themselves and move forward cautiously.

..........................................

Since entering Maoshan Academy, Shi Jian's daily practice time has extended to daytime.

At night, it is necessary to cooperate with the Three Flowers and Five Qis to the Origin Art to reach the ultimate level of the second volume of the Dragon and Tiger Body Tempering Art.

In addition, you must take time out at dawn to master the Golden Light Mantra.

As for the Lightning Thunder Fist, he has reached a bottleneck.

It is no longer possible to increase the power of thunder magic through simple methods. It can only be improved through practicing by attracting thunder from the sky!

but……

Shi Jian was not ready yet, and he also had to go to Maoshan Academy during the day to learn how to draw talismans, so he could only put it off again and again.

This was the first time that Shi Jian felt that he was too busy with his cultivation!

In the Talisman Hall, at this moment, the third elder's eyes were as sharp as torches.

Looking at the 72nd generation disciples below, each of them was seriously learning the new talismans, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face.

"You are so serious. The Maoshan talisman technique has a successor. It is not a waste of my mission..."

Slowly exhaling, the Third Elder felt even happier when he saw Shi Jian finishing drawing an intermediate yellow talisman with such ease!

Whether it is a yellow talisman or a blue talisman, they are divided into three grades: elementary, intermediate, and advanced. In fact, they correspond to different levels of difficulty in drawing talismans.

As for someone like Shi Jian who could draw a mid-level talisman with such ease, the Third Elder could easily guess that Shi Jian would have no problem drawing a high-level yellow talisman...

As for other disciples, most of them could barely master some basic yellow talismans. Only a very small number of disciples could barely draw intermediate yellow talismans, but Lin Fengjiao was the only one.

Even so, the three elders were already very satisfied with this result.

You know, it has only been more than two months since they came into contact with the art of talismans.

Time passes by bit by bit. It is said that there is no time in cultivation, but in the blink of an eye, a month has passed!

Three months have passed since Shi Jian entered the Maoshan Academy, and they will also have a two-month vacation...

But before that, the Third Elder needs to conduct an assessment for all the disciples! This assessment is not only to test the results of all the disciples' three months of training and learning, but also an opportunity for them to truly come into contact with demons.

When the third elder announced the news, all the disciples were worried except Shi Jian, who acted as if nothing had happened.

This is normal. According to Wuchenzi's estimation, the best that can be produced in this trial is a ghost soldier or a black zombie-level evil spirit...

And for Shi Jian, aren’t these just a little cutie for every punch?
On the Damao Peak, Shi Jian, who didn't care about the trial at all, was completely devoted to the Golden Light Mantra.

As he became more and more proficient in the Golden Light Spell, Shi Jian also discovered the most amazing aspect of this magical power!
That is, as the proficiency increases, the Golden Light Mantra becomes more and more profound, the consumption of true energy in the body becomes less and less, while the defense ability becomes higher and higher.

This is simply a panacea!

In fact, the uniqueness of the Golden Light Mantra is no secret in the entire Taoist sect, but even so, few Taoist disciples would choose this magical power.

Because the deeper you go, the more difficult it is to practice the Golden Light Divine Mantra. The Golden Light Divine Mantra has nine levels in total. So far, no one in the Taoist sect has ever heard of a senior who has been able to practice it to perfection...

For ordinary cultivators, the third level is their limit. From the fourth level onwards, each level is a hurdle!

Don’t you see, after three months of hard work, Shi Jian is still at the third level. He had clearly entered the third level a long time ago, but he just couldn’t touch the threshold of the fourth level.

He slowly exhaled, opened his eyes, stood up, and his bones all over his body kept cracking. He finally stretched himself, and Shi Jian finally had a rare moment of leisure.

He did not choose to continue practicing, but instead returned to the bamboo house to rest.

There is no end to the practice...

While Shi Jian was resting, every elder in the inner sect hall was speculating about what their disciples would encounter in the trial tomorrow. There was no way around it, as this matter was handled personally by the head sect master Wu Chenzi.

They didn't ask too many questions, they just hoped that their disciples could shine and compete for the top spot!
Early in the morning of the second day, a dark cloud covered Maoshan. On the Yin-Yang Square outside the Talisman Hall, all the 72nd generation disciples were on standby without exception.

In the void, the figures of the elders turned into streams of light and came one after another, until Wu Chenzi arrived holding something in a black robe. All the elders couldn't help but gasp!
"The thing that Master Brother is holding in his hand...

It’s a black zombie!”

Even Elder Wu of the Corpse Driving Hall had not expected this, because this black zombie did not come from the corpse hiding cave of their Corpse Driving Hall, but was an unknown black zombie.

Even though they had guessed it long ago, a group of elders couldn't help but worry about their own disciples.

A black zombie is comparable to a cultivator at the fourth level of cultivation, and zombies are naturally extremely powerful and have bones as strong as steel. Their disciples are only eleven or twelve years old, so it is certain that they are under great pressure.

"Today is your first test after entering Maoshan Academy. You will have one stick of incense to prepare for the black zombie.

After that, they stepped forward one by one to challenge! "

After Wu Chenzi finished speaking, he tore open his black robe. The black robe in his hand suddenly grew larger, directly covering the sun rays within a radius of dozens of meters.

Black zombies cannot stand sunlight, so even if they are covered up, their strength will essentially be reduced a lot.

This is also the special care that Master Wuchenzi gives to these little guys.

Everybody knew what was going on, and all the disciples took a deep breath and began to prepare. Some drew talismans, and some took out the peach wood swords that had been prepared long ago. In short, everyone was armed to the teeth.

Only Shi Jian came to the last row calmly and calmly, were you kidding me? How could he be the first to make a move?

Today, Shi Jian is not the protagonist. His fellow apprentices are the main force against the black zombies...
