In the back hall.

The shopkeeper came out and cupped his hands with a smile. “Talisman Master Shen, with your treatment in the True Treasure Pavilion, 1 believe it won’t be difficult to pa.s.s this a.s.sessment. You just have to perform normally.”

Shen Ping quickly thanked him. He stepped into the main hall. The shopkeeper brought Shen Ping to the second room on the left. The furnis.h.i.+ngs in the room were simple. It was a little like Shen Ping’s talisman making room in Yunhe Alley.

“Spirit Protection Talisman, Golden Light Talisman, Explosive Talisman, Earth Meteorite Talisman. Talisman Master Shen needs to make one of these talismans each. There are Spirit Revitalization Pills in the room, Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills that specialize in recovering mental exhaustion, and Fasting Pills. Talisman Master Shen only needs to make talismans in peace.” Making high-grade talismans consumed a lot of mental and spiritual energy. Most high-grade Talisman Masters’ efficiency was very ordinary, and those who could reach the lowest cooperation requirement with the True Treasure Pavilion were usually relatively skilled high-grade Talisman Masters.

There was plenty of time for this a.s.sessment.

However, Shen Ping knew that the production efficiency would definitely be judged by the a.s.sessment. After the shopkeeper left, he closed his eyes and rested for a while. Then, he calmed down and prayed for blessings before starting to make it.

At this moment, in the room on the right of the main hall. The three Foundation Establishment cultivators sat upright and looked indifferently at the scene displayed by an azure mirror in front of them. With the three of them guarding the place, there would not be any problems during this period.

…..

“He’s a little old.”

“It’s normal. If you want to be skilled and experienced in crafting talismans and alchemy, don’t you need to acc.u.mulate for decades? Even those talented people in our True Treasure Pavilion need to acc.u.mulate a certain amount of experience.”

“From this fellow Daoist’s past cooperation, he shouldn’t be far from becoming a Level Two Talisman Master.”

The three of them chatted casually.

In the room, Shen Ping focused all his attention on making talismans. His experience of working hard day and night turned into a skilled and stable stroke at this moment. The first thing he made was the Spirit Protection Talisman. This kind of talisman runes were very complicated. It was very challenging to do it in one go.

When he had just broken through to become a high-grade Talisman Master, his success rate in making Spirit Protection Talismans was very low. But now, he could clearly outline the spiritual runes of the Spirit Protection Talisman in his mind with his eyes closed.

Eight hours pa.s.sed.

The talisman brush outlined the last spiritual rune. He looked at the light of the entire talisman that was flickering and quickly hiding.

Shen Ping smiled. Fortunately, he had Fellow Daoist Mu’s help. If he became nervous, this Spirit Protection Talisman would not be so easy.

After resting for a moment to recover his spirit, he first took out a Spirit Revitalization Pill and began to recover his spiritual energy. After meditating for a while, he placed the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pill in his mouth.

Usually, in the small courtyard, he did not dare to be so extravagant as to use medicinal pills to quickly recover. After resting for two to three days, he could bury his head in the making again.

The house on the right. The voice sounded again.

“His condition is not bad. He even did the Spirit Protection Talisman in one go. He’s indeed very skilled.”

“The next high-level talismans are only slightly more difficult. From the brush technique just now, it should be very smooth.”

“Yes, it’s not difficult to pa.s.s the a.s.sessment.”

“It depends on age and potential.”

Actually, before the three Foundation Establishment Talisman Masters came, they already knew that this was just a formality. After all, the other party could obtain the second cooperation treatment. His level of Talisman Daoism was very high among high-grade Talisman Masters, and he could completely meet the requirements of the True Treasure Pavilion to recruit Talisman Masters.

In the blink of an eye, four days pa.s.sed.

Shen Ping had already completed all the talismans in one go. He did not waste a single talisman during this period.

This ability to control high-grade talismans made the three Foundation Establishment Talisman Masters praise him. As Talisman Masters, they knew very well what this ability meant. As long as the other party successfully built his foundation, it was basically a matter of time for him to advance to become a Level Two Talisman Master.

It was even to the extent that if one’s divine sense could reach the Foundation Establishment Realm in advance, there was a certain possibility of making Level Two talismans at the late stage of Qi Refinement. However, it was very difficult to increase one’s divine sense. There were very few cultivators who could break through to the divine sense at the late stage of Qi Refinement.

The shopkeeper walked in.

Shen Ping looked up and noticed that the shopkeeper’s expression was more enthusiastic than before.

“Congratulations, congratulations. Talisman Master Shen was able to complete it so quickly. Your skills in the Dao of Talismans are truly admirable!”

The two of them left the room and walked to the first room. The shopkeeper said in a low voice, “The three Foundation Establishment Talisman Masters in charge of the a.s.sessment of our True Treasure Pavilion have praised you endlessly. 1 believe that Talisman Master Shen will have no problem joining our True Treasure Pavilion this time.”

Shen Ping was delighted. He hurriedly cupped his hands and asked, “Shopkeeper…”

The shopkeeper waved his hand. “Don’t be so distant. My surname is Ding. Just call me Shopkeeper Ding or Fellow Daoist Ding in the future.”

Hearing this, Shen Ping felt much more at ease. “Shopkeeper Ding, I have a four-element spiritual root. It’s very ordinary!”

Shopkeeper Ding chuckled and said, “It’s fine if your spiritual root apt.i.tude is ordinary. With the resources of our True Treasure Pavilion, how can it be difficult to create a few Foundation Establishment cultivators? Talisman Master Shen is at the sixth level of Qi Refinement. As long as you’re not more than 50 years old, the chances of successfully joining the True Treasure Pavilion are very high!”

Shen Ping smiled. “Shopkeeper Ding, I’m 47 years old this year.”

Shopkeeper Ding’s eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands with a gentle smile. “Then congratulations in advance to Talisman Master Shen for becoming a guest of our True Treasure Pavilion!”

The following a.s.sessment was indeed as Shopkeeper Ding had said. It was a simple test.

However, after the spiritual root test, Shopkeeper Ding shook his head. “Talisman Master Shen has four spiritual roots, but your metal and wood spiritual roots are very bright. If you had cultivated diligently in the early years, you wouldn’t still be at the sixth level of Qi Refinement.”

Shen Ping replied helplessly, “I followed the Golden Sun Sect to this place for the first time to explore. I accidentally contaminated myself with the venom of demon beasts. At that time, my level in the Dao of Talismans was still low, so 1 wasted a lot of time.”

Shopkeeper Ding immediately revealed a sympathetic gaze. On the path of Foundation Establishment, every day was incomparably important for Qi Refinement cultivators. This Talisman Master Shen was really unlucky. Fortunately, the other party’s skills in the Dao of Talismans were exquisite and his talent was not bad. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to build the Foundation Establishment in this life.

It was early in the afternoon. All the a.s.sessments were completed. After a discussion between the guests and deacons of the True Treasure Pavilion, they finally gave the subsequent conditions.

Shen Ping was sitting in a private room on the second floor and chatting with Mu Jin. When he heard footsteps, his heart skipped a beat. Soon, Shopkeeper Ding walked in with a contract. “This is the guest contract of my True Treasure Pavilion. If Talisman Master Shen is sure to join, you can sign it now.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Ping stood up happily and said in surprise, “Shopkeeper Ding, there are no other conditions?”

Shopkeeper Ding chuckled and said, “There are three Foundation Establishment Talisman Masters guarantee. Not to mention, Talisman Master Shen’s spiritual root apt.i.tude is not bad, although it’s four elements, the metal and wood elements are very bright. If you absorb spirit liquid and other resources, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Your Foundation Establishment potential is still very great. Of course, there are other conditions. Take a look at this contract first.”

Shen Ping hurriedly glanced at the contract. After reading the content, he immediately understood.

He could sign it now, but he had to break through to the late-stage of Qi Refinement before the age of 50 to obtain the ident.i.ty wooden token that belonged to the third-grade guest of the True Treasure Pavilion and enjoy the generous treatment of many guests. However, as long as he signed it, he could enjoy some basic treatment.

For example, one did not have to wait for a fixed auction every month to buy spirit liquid, Beauty Pills, and other medicinal resources. They could usually be bought in the True Treasure Pavilion, and there were even discounts.

If he did not meet the requirements, this contract would be invalid.

“Three more years.. It’s steady!”
