Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 87 - 75: Hundredfold Critical Strike, Advancement to Tier Two Rune Master, Sect Leader’s Astonishment!

Chapter 87: Chapter 75: Hundredfold Critical Strike, Advancement to Tier Two Rune Master, Sect Leader’s Astonishment!

"Is this the true inheritance of Tier Two Talisman Making?"

Looking at it, Qi Chuan felt a sense arise in his heart.

Previously, from a certain shabby market, he bought "Tier One Talisman Making Inheritance" from a Loose Cultivator. It only recorded some simple methods for making Tier One Talismans and the basic Five Elements Talisman Arrays, extremely crude.

But what he was reading today, although it wasn’t labeled as any sort of inheritance, and was simply titled "Common Second-Order Talisman Drawing Methods and Techniques," turned out to be no different from a Tier Two Talisman Making inheritance?

"Perhaps I can advance to a Tier Two Talisman Master rather quickly."

At this moment, while reading, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but feel that way. The detailed introduction of Tier Two Talismans in this Tier Two Talisman Making Manual was truly beneficial to him.

[You carefully read the Common Second-Order Talisman Drawing Methods and Techniques, attempting to understand how to draw the Clearing Talisman, triggering a fiftyfold critical strike, receiving fiftyfold gains, and significantly enhancing your understanding of drawing the Clearing Talisman.]

After carefully reading it once, a line of words appeared before Qi Chuan’s eyes, and a flood of information surged into his mind, greatly enhancing his understanding of the Clearing Talisman.

Looking at the "Clearing Talisman" again, everything became much clearer.

Then, Qi Chuan focused intently, reading it over ten more times, gaining some confidence before preparing to pick up the brush and draw the talisman.

Without prior preparation, Qi Chuan used the Upper Grade Profound Image Magic Brush, along with Tier One Top Grade Magic Ink and Talisman paper, to draw the Clearing Talisman.

During the drawing process, Qi Chuan felt some difficulty but managed to roughly complete the talisman array for the Clearing Talisman.

[You successfully drew the talisman array for the Clearing Talisman, triggering a hundredfold critical strike, receiving a hundredfold gain, significantly enhancing your experience and technique in drawing the Clearing Talisman, and advancing to a Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman Master (Pseudo).]

At that moment, a line of words appeared before him.

Simultaneously, a vast amount of information flooded his mind, causing a slight headache for Qi Chuan.

A moment later, Qi Chuan’s eyes revealed a look of surprise.

"I’ve actually advanced to a Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman Master?"

Digesting the newfound understanding of the Clearing Talisman in his mind, Qi Chuan picked up another piece of talisman paper and began drawing the Clearing Talisman again, completing it more smoothly this time.

However, including the first talisman, both Clearing Talismans were rather crude, and the Tier One Top Grade Magic Ink and Talisman paper were too inferior to truly carry the successful drawing of a Tier Two Clearing Talisman.

At this moment, a sense of fatigue emanated from Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul.

"So that’s the meaning behind the ’Pseudo’ character in the Golden Finger’s text?"

Qi Chuan somewhat understood.

Currently, although he’s barely reached the level of a Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman Master in drawing the Clearing Talisman array.

However, the power of the Divine Soul and mana are insufficient to truly complete a Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman.

Even if those crude, semi-finished Clearing Talismans could carry the subsequent Spiritual Infusion, with Qi Chuan’s current mana, he couldn’t complete the final Spiritual Infusion step by himself, making the Tier Two Lower Grade Clearing Talisman truly take form.

Therefore, his status as a "Pseudo" Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman Master was well justified.

"Even so, my skill in drawing the Clearing Talisman array has indeed reached the level of a Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman Master. Once I successfully establish my foundation, and the power of the Divine Soul and mana catch up, I could immediately produce a Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman successfully!"

Qi Chuan was fairly satisfied with this realization.

He practiced drawing the Clearing Talisman a few more times before setting it aside, returning to his sleeping chamber, where he sat cross-legged on the bed and began running the Evergreen Technique to refine mana.

After all, he was only at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, and his realm cultivation was probably lower compared to the twelve True Disciples.

Previously, Yun Qingyue had mentioned that becoming a True Disciple provides a chance to access the Foundation Establishment Pill, but competition with other True Disciples is necessary.

If he fails, obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill will be postponed indefinitely.

Therefore, Qi Chuan believed it best to improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill earlier.

...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

This was the day for the test agreed upon with the Sect Leader Master.

Whizz!

A sword light flew out from the small island, piercing through the white clouds, heading towards the depths of Wind Moon Lake.

It was Qi Chuan maneuvering the sword-shaped Flying Magical Artifact.

"Isn’t it at the foot of Moon Shadow Mountain where Master said I would be tested?"

Qi Chuan was a bit puzzled.

Moon Shadow Mountain... isn’t that where the only Supreme Elder of Wind Moon Sect, Profound Sword True Master, secluded himself? Why conduct the test there?

But since the Sect Leader Master said so, Qi Chuan stopped overthinking it and headed towards the depths of Wind Moon Lake on the sword light.

Moments later, Qi Chuan finally passed through layers of mist and arrived at the foot of Moon Shadow Mountain.

Looking around and not seeing anyone, Qi Chuan tried to land at the mountain’s base but was pushed back to his original spot by some invisible force.

"Is this the power of an array?"

Qi Chuan’s heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, an elderly figure appeared beside him without a sound.

"Greetings, Master." Qi Chuan exclaimed in surprise, immediately cupping his fists.

"Let’s go." Situ Jiang, the Sect Leader of Wind Moon Sect, smiled and led him down the mountain first.

Following him, Qi Chuan didn’t encounter any issues being pushed back this time.

With Qi Chuan, Situ Jiang took a detour to a certain place at the mountain’s base, standing before a grand, chilling hall.

"Primordial Spirit Hall?"

Qi Chuan looked up to see the three flamboyant characters, but couldn’t discern the purpose of the hall or why the Sect Leader had brought him here.

Standing outside the hall, Situ Jiang did not immediately enter but seemed to be waiting and began discussing other matters.

"By the way, how’s your study of the ’Clearing Talisman’ going?" Situ Jiang inquired.

"Master, I’ve almost figured it out," Qi Chuan replied truthfully to the Sect Leader Master, not intentionally hiding anything.

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Situ Jiang looked at Qi Chuan, his gray-white eyebrow slightly furrowed.

"Almost... those words didn’t sound satisfactory to him, implying a pretense of understanding or that Qi Chuan was brushing off, not really studying the ’Clearing Talisman’ in the past ten days.

Talisman-making is profound and vast. With such an arrogant and careless mindset, no matter how talented he is, great achievements are unlikely, contradicting Situ Jiang’s expectations of Qi Chuan.

"In that case, let’s test you. In the ’Clearing Talisman’ array, during the drawing of the third rune, what about the sixth stroke?"

Situ Jiang spoke slowly, his gaze somewhat sharp as he awaited Qi Chuan’s answer.

Originally, he intended to test and guide Qi Chuan on the Clearing Talisman after his return from the Primordial Spirit Hall.

However, hearing Qi Chuan’s earlier response made him change his mind, opting for a test right outside the hall to provide guidance and correct Qi Chuan’s improper mindset if he answered wrongly.

"Alright, Master, for this third rune, the sixth stroke should be drawn like this... the key point is..."

Qi Chuan demonstrated his expertise, perfectly answering each of the Sect Leader Master’s questions, even flawlessly addressing the subsequent queries that followed.

"How could he answer them all correctly?"

Even Situ Jiang was a bit confused; his initial plan to educate Qi Chuan was left with no opportunity.

"Could it be that Qi Chuan didn’t lie, and he truly has figured it out?"

While Situ Jiang was in awe, Qi Chuan touched his Red Jade Qiankun Bag at his waist, withdrew the first crude, semi-finished "Clearing Talisman" he drew before, and presented it to Situ Jiang.

"Master, please have a look. This is the Clearing Talisman I attempted to draw based on my understanding. Please point out any insufficiencies, Master."
