Terran Guardian - Chapter 2169

Chapter 2154 Zhuang Daozi

In such a huge mansion.

Many monks gathered here, and each of them had a look of awe on their face.

When they saw the white-robed monks arriving, all the monks bowed and saluted.

“Greetings to the Red Ridge Ancestor!”

The voices of many monks were in unison and full of respect.

“No need to be polite!”

Shen Changqing said lightly, his eyes sweeping over the cultivators in front of him. The cultivation levels of all the cultivators were exposed in front of him.

God Lord!

All the cultivators in front of him have entered the realm of God Lord.

“Reporting to the ancestor, the thirteen cultivators in front of me are all famous Talisman Masters in the ancient wilderness. Among them, three have entered the second level of Talisman Master, and the remaining ten are first level Talisman Masters!”

Behind Shen Changqing, Duan Jing introduced the identities of these casual cultivators.

Ever since the Hongling Chamber of Commerce released the news half a month ago, not only the independent cultivators from the Hongling Mountains, but also independent cultivators from other places in the Ancient Wasteland came to participate.

After all, having the chance to establish a relationship with a third-rank master of talismans is a great opportunity.

In fact.

Half a month.

There were no less than ten second-level masters of talismans alone who came to the Hongling Chamber of Commerce to apply for the position.

However, Duan Jing, in line with the idea of “better to have nothing than to have someone who is not qualified”, did not hire all of them at once. Instead, he investigated the background of these monks and their degree of loyalty and reliability according to Shen Changqing’s request.

final.

After screening through layers.

There were only thirteen talisman masters left who were qualified.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing did not say anything, but his eyes fell on the thirteen monks. There was an invisible oppression in the air, making many people feel great pressure.

Just when some cultivators were about to be unable to bear this gaze, Shen Changqing spoke up and broke the silence.

“I welcome you all to join the Hongling Chamber of Commerce. As independent cultivators, you should understand the value of inheritance.

If you join the Hongling Chamber of Commerce, you will not only be able to obtain the inheritance of the third-level Talisman Master, but I can also give you the inheritance of a Divine Lord.”

Wow!
Hearing Shen Changqing’s words, all the cultivators looked up suddenly, with disbelief in their eyes.

The inheritance of the God!

These four simple words are an irresistible temptation for many monks.

It is true that the inheritance of the third-level master of talismans is precious, but if you compare it carefully, it is not as attractive as the inheritance of the God Lord.

The reason is simple.

If one can break through to the level of a God, there is hope that one’s life span will be prolonged.

Just based on this point, we can understand how important the inheritance of the Divine Lord is to cultivators.

Immediately.

A cultivator asked in a trembling voice: “May I ask if what the ancestor said is serious?”

“I never speak empty words, but whether it is the inheritance of a Divine Lord or the inheritance of a third-level Talisman Grandmaster, if you want to obtain it, you must be absolutely loyal.

As long as you are loyal to me, I can grant you everything you want.

On the contrary, if you betray the Hongling Chamber of Commerce and me, then the things that I have given you can also be taken back.

When that time comes, you will understand that death will become a luxury!”

As he spoke the latter part, Shen Changqing’s eyes were filled with coldness, and an extremely terrifying aura emanated from him, causing the thirteen cultivators present to tremble all over, with endless fear surging in their hearts.

In the face of such power, they are as weak as ants.

but.

This force appeared quickly and disappeared quickly.

When the force disappeared, all the monks instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Changqing said: “What you have to do next is very simple, which is to draw the corresponding talisman for the Hongling Chamber of Commerce.

The Hongling Chamber of Commerce will give you a fixed amount of materials needed to draw one thousand talismans for free every year. All you have to do is draw one hundred talismans of the same level and hand them over to the Hongling Chamber of Commerce.

As long as you complete the annual quota required by the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce will not interfere in the rest of the matter.”

“I understand!”

Upon hearing this, the other monks all nodded.

One thousand pieces of materials correspond to one hundred talismans, which means a one in ten success rate is required.

For an ordinary master of talismans, a success rate of one in ten is actually quite difficult.

but.

It is a good thing that Hongling Chamber of Commerce provides materials for free.

How can the master of talismans improve his success rate? To put it simply, it is to keep drawing talismans. With time, he will naturally become proficient in it.

However, the materials for drawing talismans are also very expensive. If all the materials purchased at one time fail to be used, then all the money will be lost.

However, the Hongling Chamber of Commerce provides materials for free, which is equivalent to an opportunity to practice.

Then.

The cultivator who spoke first asked again: “May I ask, ancestor, if we fail to fulfill the share required by the Chamber of Commerce, what will be the consequences?”

“The Chamber of Commerce’s annual quota requirement is actually an assessment of you. If you do not complete the quota in the first year, you will need to complete the quota in the second or third year and make up for the shortfall.

If you fail to achieve the average annual quota within three years, it means that you are not worth training.

The Hongling Chamber of Commerce doesn’t need trash, so there’s no need for you to stay in the Chamber of Commerce!”

Shen Changqing said coldly and ruthlessly.

One thousand portions of materials is nothing but a drop in the bucket for the Hongling Chamber of Commerce now, and he can definitely afford to waste it.

Besides.

Even if one is a rubbish master of talismans, there is still a success rate, it just will be correspondingly lower.

Strictly speaking.

Even if the Hongling Chamber of Commerce makes a loss, it won’t be too much.

on the contrary.

If there are really cultivators who pass the assessment, it means that the Hongling Chamber of Commerce has found suitable talents for training. It won’t take long before these masters of talismans who have passed the assessment will be able to completely make up for the Chamber of Commerce’s previous losses.

this.

This is why Shen Changqing is not afraid of waste.

Upon hearing this, the other monks also relaxed their expressions.

There is no harm in this for them either.

Three years.

It would be best if you can pass the assessment.

But if you fail the assessment, it would be equivalent to just practicing with the materials provided free of charge by the Hongling Chamber of Commerce.

even.

If you know that you cannot complete the assessment, there is nothing wrong with secretly keeping those materials.

The premise is that this matter cannot be exposed.

otherwise.

I’m afraid my life is in danger.

Moreover, in the past few years, they have been able to receive corresponding salaries at fixed times, which is a completely worthwhile thing no matter how you look at it.

Shen Changqing didn’t lose.

These independent cultivators are not at a loss either.

So no one said anything to refuse such things.

Immediately following.

Shen Changqing signaled to Duan Jing again, and the latter immediately handed the materials needed to draw talismans that had been prepared long ago to each cultivator.

“Now, all of you should use what you have learned throughout your life to draw the talismans that you are best at in front of me.

If you have any questions, I will answer them for you. This is also a benefit for you to join the Hongling Chamber of Commerce for the first time!”

Amid the puzzled gazes of many monks, Shen Changqing said the following words.

Suddenly.

All the monks looked extremely excited.

They didn’t expect that they would receive guidance from this top master of talismans just after entering the Hongling Chamber of Commerce. They immediately had no intention of hiding their abilities, and in full view of everyone, they used their best skills to draw out corresponding talismans.

Under normal circumstances, these cultivators would never reveal their methods of drawing talismans in front of others.

Because these things involve one’s own inheritance, if they are exposed, it would be equivalent to letting others take advantage of them for nothing.

But in front of Shen Changqing, these cultivators did not have such worries.

How could a third-rank master of talismans, who is also a powerful divine monarch, look down upon my insignificant inheritance?

For a while.

All the monks began to draw talismans.

The spiritual energy of the Netherworld gathered together, causing a large amount of spiritual energy to condense above, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Shen Changqing looked at the way the thirteen talisman masters drew talismans and couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly.

A casual cultivator is a casual cultivator.

Although he is called the Grandmaster of Talismans, his skills in drawing talismans are not that advanced.

As expected.

In just less than a quarter of an hour, several monks failed in their attempts to draw.

Half an hour later.

Finally, the first cultivator completed the drawing. It was a second-level lower-grade grandmaster talisman, but it was not of ordinary quality, but had reached the fine level.

As the first monk completed it, other monks soon followed suit.

at last.

Among the thirteen monks.

Eight monks drew talismans, and each monk failed at a different stage, and then the remaining five monks succeeded.

Four of the cultivators only refined ordinary quality Grandmaster Talismans, and one cultivator drew a second-grade lower-grade Grandmaster Talisman of fine quality.

The only monk who drew a talisman of fine quality was the middle-aged monk who asked for details earlier.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Zhuang Daozi!”

The middle-aged monk forced himself to suppress his inner excitement and told Shen Changqing his name in front of him.

Zhuang Daozi!
Hearing this name, Shen Changqing nodded: “You are very good. You can draw a master’s talisman of fine quality, which shows that you have also made great achievements in the second-level master.”

After a brief compliment, Shen Changqing began to comment, pointing out the many shortcomings in Zhuang Daozi’s drawing of talismans.

Each of these shortcomings is extremely critical.

The expression on Zhuang Daozi’s face changed from joy to shock, and then to thoughtfulness. His entire mind was immersed in Shen Changqing’s words.

The other masters of the art of talismans also seemed to have gained some insights after listening to Shen Changqing’s comments on Zhuang Daozi.

Some masters of talismans looked clear and acted as if they had suddenly realized something, as if a light bulb had turned on them.

As a third-rank master of the art of talismans, Shen Changqing’s every word could be regarded as the sound of heavenly truth to other ordinary masters of the art of talismans, which naturally brought them endless benefits.
