Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 298 - 180: Master Yu Yi (Part 2)

The Evil-Dispelling Talisman is also a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman.

Over the past month, through diligent practice, Qi Chuan has mastered all the Tier Two Upper Grade Talismans recorded in the "Common Second-Order Talisman Drawing Methods and Techniques," reaching a level of proficiency that can be called perfect.

It can be said that Qi Chuan is now truly at the pinnacle of a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Maker, just a step away from advancing to a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master.

Perhaps, all he needs is a Hundredfold Critical Strike.

However, unfortunately, he did not manage to break through to a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master before the selection event.

But being at the pinnacle of a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Maker is more than enough to stand out in the selection event. At least, as long as the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect truly wants to recruit cultivators with high skill levels from the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Immortality, they won’t overlook Qi Chuan.

"There’s no rush to advance to a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master."

"But today is the day of selection, so I must go out."

Qi Chuan smiled slightly, tidied up the remnants on the wooden table, glanced at the room, and then turned to head towards the door.

When Qi Chuan arrived at the first-floor hall of the Tingxian Inn and had not yet stepped outside onto the street, he could already hear the uproarious sounds from the street outside.

At the same time, the first-floor hall, which usually had quite a few cultivators, had only a few people, and they were presumably already out on the street heading towards the center square of Myriad Flowers City.

Seeing this, Qi Chuan did not delay, directly settled the bill at the first-floor hall counter, and then headed straight to the street outside the door of the Tingxian Inn.

Once outside on the street, the excitement in Myriad Flowers City was even more evident.

Yet, after all, they were all cultivators, and although the number was large, it wasn’t crowded to the point of being jostled.

Nonetheless, it gave Qi Chuan a somewhat bustling feeling of a mundane city.

Qi Chuan shook his head and then followed the crowd towards the center square of Myriad Flowers City.

After all, the Tingxian Inn was almost in the central area of Myriad Flowers City, not far from the center square.

So it didn’t take long for Qi Chuan to arrive at the center square of Myriad Flowers City.

There were people everywhere here, and even the rarely seen Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators could be easily spotted in one’s field of vision. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

However, the proportion of those with a certain skill level in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Immortality was probably not high.

The center square of Myriad Flowers City was very spacious, able to accommodate a large number of cultivators. However, most of the cultivators were gathered in an irregular circular pattern around the perimeter of the square, not entering the central area of the square.

Because the central area of the square was the place for the selection event.

Qi Chuan saw that at this moment, several large platforms had been divided in the central area of the square. Above each platform, there floated a large flag, clearly marking the Talisman Making Platform, Alchemy Platform, Artifact Refining Platform, and so on.

Some participants in the selection event had already entered the central area of the square, gathering below these high platforms, though they had yet to step onto the platforms.

These several large platforms were arranged in a circle, and in the central area of these platforms was a higher platform than any of them.

On the high platform, there was only one massive high seat. At this moment, a young girl in palace attire, her face covered with a white veil, sat elegantly on the high seat.

The girl had a graceful and curvaceous figure, with long jade-like legs. Her hair was styled in a high cloud bun, her skin was white and delicate, and her beauty was striking. Even with a layer of white veil, she still held immense attraction for male cultivators.

More daunting was her identity.

Master Yu Yi.

Indeed, the young girl in palace attire with exquisite looks and a graceful bearing was the rumored new City Lord of Myriad Flowers City, sent by the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect in rotation, Master Yu Yi.

A living Core Formation Early Stage High Cultivator!

At this moment, Master Yu Yi was merely seated there, with her lotus-like arms gently placed on the elegantly designed armrests on both sides. Her beautiful eyes seemed emotionless as she gazed down at the center square of Myriad Flowers City, naturally disseminating an astonishing aura that oppressed all the cultivators in the square, stifling them into silence and making the square notably quieter for a time.

"Truly beautiful and so young," Qi Chuan looked up at the young girl in palace attire on the high seat, internally marveling, "To have become a Core Formation True Master and still be so young."

"There are only a few reasons..."

"Either she is a prodigy, advancing in cultivation and breaking through too quickly for her appearance to age while her lifespan has already increased significantly, naturally reflecting a youthful appearance and demeanor."

"Or, her cultivation technique is special, with age-defying effects, or perhaps rejuvenating."

"Or perhaps she simply took some kind of Youthful Appearance Pill early in her youth, thus maintaining her youthful look forever."

Qi Chuan himself was the first kind.

His cultivation speed and breakthroughs were so rapid that he never worried about aging, nor did he need any Youthful Appearance Pills or special cultivation techniques, effortlessly maintaining his youthful looks.

Now, Qi Chuan appeared as a twenty-year-old young man.

For most of the coming years, he would retain this appearance, as his lifespan was as long as 250 to 260 years, with plenty of remaining lifespan.

Once he advances to the Core Formation Realm, with a lifespan reaching over 500 years, the matter of aging would not even be a concern.

But this Master Yu Yi presented the appearance of a teenage girl.

She likely didn’t have the same reason as Qi Chuan.

It should be one of the latter two.

Either her cultivation technique is unique.

Or she took a Youthful Appearance Pill early in her girlhood.

Swish!

While Qi Chuan was remotely observing the young girl in palace attire on the high seat, suddenly, as if sensing something, Master Yu Yi’s sharp gaze turned toward Qi Chuan, her eyes like blades, sending shivers down one’s spine.

"Hmm? This Master Yu Yi is indeed sensitive... cautious..." Their eyes met for a split second, and without any hesitation, Qi Chuan lowered his gaze, silently thinking.

This was the necessary respect for a Core Formation True Master.

If he continued to stare, it would certainly give the other party an excuse of "provocation" or "frivolity," and if her mood soured, he might lose his life instantly.

"This person... Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation! Liquid Magical Power Foundation... quite robust indeed."

Meanwhile, Master Yu Yi’s gaze lingered on Qi Chuan, even though he had already averted his eyes, lowering his gaze.

At that moment, Qi Chuan hadn’t employed any means to conceal his cultivation.

And frankly, even if he applied some ordinary concealment measures, with Master Yu Yi’s insight, she could easily see through them.

Therefore, Master Yu Yi could easily discern Qi Chuan’s cultivation as being at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and the spiritual pressure radiating from him was much stronger than the average Foundation Establishment Late Stage, from which it was also possible to vaguely sense that Qi Chuan’s Liquid Magical Power Foundation was more robust than usual at his stage.

Observed for a while, Master Yu Yi’s expression did not change.

Currently, she was seated on the high seat, overlooking from a height, allowing her to see the entire center square of Myriad Flowers City and all the cultivators in the square.

None of the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators could escape her gaze.

The number of Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators among the cultivators was actually not many, even in Myriad Flowers City, it’s not exaggerated to have Foundation Establishment cultivators everywhere.

And among them, those with cultivation above the Foundation Establishment Late Stage were even fewer.

So the few cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Late Stage on the square stood out distinctly in Master Yu Yi’s eyes, as evident as lanterns in the night, impossible to ignore.

Furthermore, since Qi Chuan had just been looking at her, she naturally captured his presence immediately.

However, Qi Chuan met her gaze only briefly before immediately looking away, which did not breach any etiquette.

Therefore, Master Yu Yi’s impression of Qi Chuan was neutral, at most regarding him as a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator with a somewhat more robust Liquid Magical Power Foundation.
