Volume 2: Natal Spirit Talisman Chapter 49, Apprenticeship Ceremony
Yi Xuan put down the talisman pen and calmed down slightly, and continued to start a new attempt. This time, when he insisted on reaching two-thirds of the way and had completed the injection of spiritual power, he began to prepare for the seal, when the entire rune paper suddenly flashed red and exploded into a small cloud of black smoke, and he was caught off guard, and Yi Xuan was smoked like the bottom of a pot. The Cang Flame Talisman is considered to be one of the more powerful attack power in the mid-level spirit rune, and it will turn into a sea of fire within fifty steps after it is activated, so it needs to gather a large amount of fierce fire spirit power when drawing, so it is extremely difficult for beginners to master.
Ji Shaojun, who was in retreat next door, was attracted by the crackling sound, and when he saw Yi Xuan's embarrassed appearance, he leaned back and smiled. After sending Ji Shaojun away, Yi Xuan simply cleaned up and began to practice the Cangyan Talisman again.
In the next few days, Yi Xuan stayed at home, unless he stopped to meditate and recuperate when his spiritual sense was exhausted, and the rest of the time he used it to make the Flame Talisman without sleeping or eating, and the bright light or popping sound of the flame burning was heard from time to time in the room...... After many times of practice, I finally drew my first Flame Talisman. At this time, Yi Xuan's eyes were already red, his face was black and white, his dark green robe was also tattered like a fishing net, and he was holding a spirit talisman that had just been made in his hand, and he looked up to the sky and howled a few times, venting his joy after success.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, with the first successful experience, when Yi Xuan exhausted all the remaining rune paper and made a flame talisman again, the haggard Yi Xuan simply explained a few words to Ji Shaojun and then fell asleep for two days.
After recovering his strength again, Yi Xuan pulled Ji Shaojun to find Xie Gao to test the talisman level again. According to the regulations of the academy, the yield of low-level talismans is more than fifty percent, and at the same time, those who can successfully make middle-level talismans are talisman makers.
Yi Xuan first skillfully drew five fireball talismans, none of them failed, seeing Xie Gao and Ji Shaojun a little dumbfounded, and then began to draw the mid-level cangyan talisman, this time Yi Xuan's luck was excellent, only failed once, and then succeeded in making a cangyan talisman on the second time, Xie Gao saw it was a compliment, and at the same time, he also re-engraved the pattern belonging to the talisman maker and the fifty points of merit reward for the promotion talisman master to Yi Xuan's identity plate. Yi Xuan told Xie Gao to keep it secret before the apprenticeship meeting, and not to tell anyone the news of his promotion to a talisman master.
February time flies, in the blink of an eye to the New Year, the academy is hung everywhere red lanterns, a festive atmosphere of lanterns, the annual inner door apprenticeship ceremony is about to be held.
According to Ji Shaojun's inquiry, there are a total of eight disciples who have entered the Qi cultivation period at today's apprenticeship meeting, one each from the Refining Pavilion, the Talisman Pavilion, and the Formation Pavilion, two from the Alchemy Pavilion, and the most in the Punishment Pavilion, with a total of three people.
Yi Xuan didn't think much about it, but asked the shopkeeper of Qingtian Loulu to order an antique agarwood box, put the first Cangyan talisman he had successfully made in it, and after everything was ready, he just waited for the arrival of the first day.
On the morning of the first day, all the outer disciples of the Jade Academy lined up neatly outside the main hall of the head of the sect, divided into five pavilions of refining, talisman making, formation, alchemy and punishment, bustling with hundreds of people, and the five pavilion masters were at the head of the line.
You Mingyuan, who was dressed in a golden Taoist robe, faced everyone and said loudly: "It's the first day of the new year again, the five pavilion masters are working hard, the disciples are cultivating diligently, and the academy is thriving, and it can be regarded as living up to the legacy of Ji Yangqiu Zhenren, the patriarch of the founding school!
You Mingyuan Zhenren paused for a moment and continued: "According to the usual practice, every year on the first day of the year, it is the apprenticeship meeting of the new inner disciples, and this year, a total of eight disciples live up to expectations, and they can enter the inner gate when they step into the practice of qi, which is an outstanding example for all the disciples!
Yi Xuan saw that he was named, hesitated slightly, and saw that there were people walking out from the teams of each pavilion, so he hurried a few steps to the front of the main hall, stood in a row with the remaining seven people, looked left and right and found two acquaintances, one was Shuangyuqin of the Formation Pavilion, and the other was Jing Hongfei of the Refining Pavilion, and Yi Xuan was the top three in this competition, and the rest of them did not know each other.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, You Mingyuan shouted loudly: "Eight new disciples of the inner gate and five pavilion masters will come with me, and the rest of the disciples will disperse!" After speaking, he entered the main hall with his hands behind his back, and everyone followed.
The main hall is the same as before, the niche in the middle is still hung with the portrait of the patriarch of the sect, and ten high chairs are placed in front of the portrait, the head of the house, You Mingyuan, walked to the middle, turned around and said: "The five pavilion masters, please sit, you wait for the disciples to listen to the announcement!"
He Hanchi and the other five pavilion masters saluted to the head of the house, and chose the chairs on the left and right sides to sit down, and the head of the house, You Mingyuan, was in the center. The disciple on duty in front of the door shouted, "Please all the elders of the inner gate!"
I saw three people wearing red robes coming from the back hall of the main hall......
The first is the empty Confucian elder of the preaching pavilion, an old man with a Taoist bone and immortal style, and the preaching pavilion is only open to inner disciples, explaining the experience and experience in the practice to the disciples in the early middle and late of each month, answering questions and solving doubts;
The second is Elder Luo Jiayu of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, a female elder with slender eyebrows and eyes and a bun of hair, which contains all the exercises and classics of the academy since its establishment, and is the foundation of the academy;
The last one is Elder Shi Yuxing, who is in charge of the Chong Void Secret Realm, the elder has a bright eye, straight to the heart, and the Chong Void Secret Realm is the most mysterious place in the academy, and the inner disciples have no chance to see it, and only a few true disciples are fortunate enough to enter it.
After the three elders had chosen their seats, there was still a high chair in the middle, and at this time, all the pavilion masters and elders stood up solemnly and shouted in unison, "Greetings to the Great Elder......
The high chair vacated in the middle gave birth to a little ripple like a wave of water, and after the light was distorted, there was suddenly a short and thin old man on the seat, with a dark complexion, snow-white eyebrows, and a pair of fan-like hands bursting out of green tendons, as if the old farmer working in the field was dressed up, half-squinting, as if he was sleeping.
You Mingyuan walked up to his ear and whispered: "Great Elder, this year's Inner Gate Apprenticeship Conference is about to start." ”
The Great Elder was still half-squinting, and said impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up, you little guys have to bother me every year, it's really annoying......"
You Mingyuan sneered on his face and said, "Venerable Elder's decree, the apprenticeship conference begins!"
Li Haokong, the master of the Refining Pavilion, stood up first and said to the eight people, "Where is the Refining Pavilion Ke Feng?"
A tall middle-aged man among the eight people hurriedly walked up to the elders, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Disciple Ke Feng, I beg to worship the master of Li Haokong Pavilion as a teacher, please fulfill the teacher!"
Li Haokong smiled slightly, and said, "The old man will accept you, I hope you will go further in the refining process, and get up quickly......"
