"This isn't real! He must have used some trickery, or the talisman testing device is broken today! How could this good-for-nothing with a shattered Dantian possibly create talismans!" Liu Gaoyang suddenly shouted, pointing at Chu Jianqiu like a madman.
"Waste, you're just embarrassing me!" Chang Gaochen, in his mortification and anger, slapped Liu Gaoyang across the face. He hadn't controlled his strength in his rage, sending Liu Gaoyang flying. A mouthful of teeth flew out with the blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Liu Gaoyang not only made him lose five hundred Body Tempering Pills for nothing, but also embarrassed him in front of so many people. And now he dared to doubt the Spirit Talisman Pavilion's testing device.
Doubting the Spirit Talisman Pavilion's testing device was like slapping the Spirit Talisman Pavilion in the face, a consequence that even Chang Gaochen might not be able to bear, let alone this minor Rank One Talisman Master. He'd better knock him out quickly to prevent even bigger trouble.
Liang Jiushan was also shocked. This kid could actually refine a spirit talisman with such a High Grade talisman core. It seemed that an extraordinary talisman master was about to appear in Tianshui County.
Sometimes, the talisman core of a spirit talisman better reflects a talisman master's skill in the art of talismans. A higher-ranked talisman master only indicates a higher level of power and the ability to use more techniques, but it doesn't necessarily fully reflect their skill in the art of talismans.
The grade of the talisman core better reflects a talisman master's potential.
Currently, it seems that no one in Tianshui County can refine a talisman core of upper grade.
Liang Jiushan's anger towards Chu Jianqiu for fighting in the Spirit Talisman Pavilion had long since dissipated, replaced only by shock and joy.
"Kid, are you interested in joining the Spirit Talisman Pavilion?" Liang Jiushan's usually stern face now melted like an iceberg, his face full of smiles.
Chu Jianqiu was stunned. This sudden invitation was completely unexpected, catching him off guard. He came to the Spirit Talisman Pavilion only to sell spirit talismans to earn money to buy Body Tempering Pills. He never thought of joining the Spirit Talisman Pavilion.
"Kid, what are you hesitating about? As long as you join the Spirit Talisman Pavilion, the talisman-making Materials here will be fully discounted for you, and the Spirit Talisman Pavilion won't impose any restrictions on you. You can still do whatever you want." A loud voice rang out at this moment.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a tall figure walking over.
"Pavilion Master!"
Liang Jiushan, Chang Gaochen, and the others in the Spirit Talisman Pavilion bowed and saluted the newcomer.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that even the Pavilion Master of the Spirit Talisman Pavilion, Yang Zhenhai, would be alarmed by this matter.
The Pavilion Master of the Spirit Talisman Pavilion was usually elusive, rarely showing his face. Not many people in Tianshui City knew him, and Chu Jianqiu had never seen Yang Zhenhai before.
Chu Jianqiu didn't hesitate for long before agreeing. Having the identity of the Spirit Talisman Pavilion would also provide some security for himself. At least the Liu family wouldn't dare to harm him so openly.
The Spirit Talisman Pavilion was actually a branch of the Talisman Formation Alliance of the Tianwu Continent. The Talisman Formation Alliance was an organization jointly established by many talisman Formation masters. The initial purpose of this organization was only to facilitate mutual exchange between talisman Formation masters and to evaluate and assess talisman Formation masters. It was not a strict Sect organization.
The Spirit Talisman Pavilion was in the Myriad Martial Business Firm and only had a cooperative relationship with the Myriad Martial Business Firm, not a subordinate institution.
Seeing Chu Jianqiu agree, Yang Zhenhai laughed heartily, feeling very happy. He had high expectations for this young man who could refine upper-grade talisman core spirit talismans at such a young age, and he was very curious to see how far this kid could go in the end.
If Chu Jianqiu could truly shine in the art of talisman Formations in the future, he would also be honored, and Tianshui County would no longer be looked down upon by those old guys in the imperial city.
"Kid, take this!" Yang Zhenhai took out a token and tossed it to Chu Jianqiu.
Chu Jianqiu took the token and couldn't help but be surprised.
The front of the token was engraved with a profound talisman Formation, and the back was a small rune.
Even though Chu Jianqiu had little knowledge of the talisman Formation world before, he recognized that this was the identity token of a talisman master. The talisman Formation on the front of the token was the symbol of the Talisman Formation Alliance, and the rune on the back represented a Rank One Talisman Master.
If it was a Rank Two Talisman Master, two runes would be engraved. If it was a Formation master, a Formation would be engraved on the back.
Usually, if a talisman Formation master wanted to be recognized by the Talisman Formation Alliance, they had to go through a very strict assessment to obtain this identity token.
And if a talisman Formation master wanted to gain public recognition of their skill, obtaining this token was a necessary condition.
Chu Jianqiu didn't expect Yang Zhenhai to give him the Rank One Talisman Master token so easily, and he looked at Yang Zhenhai in surprise, his eyes full of confusion and inquiry.
Yang Zhenhai laughed and said, "You've already refined a Rank One spirit talisman with an upper-grade talisman core, so what's the point of assessing you? I can't even refine a spirit talisman with such a talisman core now. If I still have to assess you, wouldn't that mean I'm not qualified to hold this Rank One Talisman Master token either?"
Hearing Yang Zhenhai's explanation, Chu Jianqiu felt relieved and accepted the token. Then he turned to Chang Gaochen and said with a smile, "Elder Chang, when will you give me my five hundred Body Tempering Pills?"
Yang Zhenhai was stunned when he heard this and looked at Chang Gaochen, saying, "Old Chang, when did you owe this kid Body Tempering Pills? That's not very generous of you. You're a dignified Rank Two Talisman Master, and you're trying to cheat a young junior."
Chang Gaochen's face was ashen, his lips trembling. He wanted to explain, but he was too ashamed to speak. In the end, Liang Jiushan explained the situation to Yang Zhenhai.
After listening, Yang Zhenhai laughed again and patted Chang Gaochen on the shoulder, saying, "Old Chang, a bet is a bet. Since you've already lost, you should compensate him with five hundred Body Tempering Pills as agreed."
With Yang Zhenhai's words, Chang Gaochen couldn't go back on his word even if he wanted to. Enduring the pain in his heart, he obediently took out five hundred Body Tempering Pills.
At this moment, Chang Gaochen couldn't help but secretly hate himself for being so talkative. Chu Jianqiu had originally bet three hundred Body Tempering Pills, but he had insisted on adding two hundred more.
Five hundred Body Tempering Pills was a considerable fortune, even for a True Qi Realm expert.
After taking out the Body Tempering Pills, Chang Gaochen was too ashamed to stay any longer. He picked up Liu Gaoyang from the ground and scurried away.
If he continued to stay, and Liang Jiushan brought up Liu Gaoyang's earlier actions, he would probably have to bleed a lot more to appease him.
Although Liu Gaoyang had caused him to lose a lot, he was still his Disciple, and he had a close relationship with the Liu family. Naturally, he couldn't allow Liang Jiushan to punish Liu Gaoyang.
With Liang Jiushan's stubborn and unyielding nature, he would definitely not let Liu Gaoyang's actions go unpunished. Therefore, Chang Gaochen took advantage of the fact that he hadn't come to his senses yet and quickly left with Liu Gaoyang.
