Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 304 - 183: Foundation Establishment Perfection Within Three Years!

Chapter 304: Chapter 183: Foundation Establishment Perfection Within Three Years!

As fellow Talisman Makers, my skill level is inferior to Qi Chuan’s.

In the Outer Talisman Hall, in the absence of a Tier Three Talisman Master, Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Masters and Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Masters are the most esteemed.

"Fellow Daoist, your task this month is thirty Celestial Thunder Talismans. You may exchange them for other Tier Two Upper Grade Talismans selected from the list provided by the Outer Talisman Hall. Do you wish to exchange?" The cultivator asked kindly.

The Celestial Thunder Talisman, among the Tier Two Upper Grade Talismans, is one of the more challenging to craft, naturally making it more difficult to create.

If not for special circumstances, the Outer Talisman Hall is generally more considerate and allows Talisman Makers the opportunity to exchange for other talismans of the same tier.

"Celestial Thunder Talismans? No need, thank you." Qi Chuan shook his head upon hearing the offer.

It seems that because I participated in the selection that day, crafting the Celestial Thunder Talisman with perfect execution, and the process was flawless and the resulting quality was also perfect, the Outer Talisman Hall simply assigned me to craft Celestial Thunder Talismans, which are quite special, scarce in quantity and high in value.

In fact, there are several Tier Two Upper Grade Talismans I can create that are more difficult than the Celestial Thunder Talisman, but the Outer Talisman Hall is unaware of this; otherwise, it might have been different.

The Celestial Thunder Talisman is highly valuable, and the Outer Talisman Hall will not shortchange me. The contribution points received will be higher.

Thirty sheets in a month equals one sheet a day.

With Qi Chuan’s speed in crafting Celestial Thunder Talismans, it takes less than a quarter of an hour to complete one, not delaying any time.

Moreover, as a Talisman Maker, Qi Chuan often practices Talisman Making apart from daily cultivation, making it an effortless task.

Under the cultivator’s administration, Qi Chuan successfully took on the task, retrieved his token, and left the counter.

Before he had taken many steps, in a corner of the hall where Talisman Makers were conversing, Qian Lai noticed that Qi Chuan had finished his task and his eyes lit up as he extended another invitation.

Qi Chuan walked over.

The few Talisman Makers seated next to Qian Lai looked curiously as Qi Chuan approached.

"Allow me to introduce."

Qian Lai coughed and explained to the Talisman Makers, "This is Fellow Daoist Qi, who joined the Outer Talisman Hall the same day as I did. He is also a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Master, and moreover... his mastery far surpasses mine!"

He then detailed Qi Chuan’s flawless process of crafting the Celestial Thunder Talisman that day and lavishly praised the quality of the talisman Qi Chuan created.

"So... this fellow Daoist is the other of the two Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Masters who joined the Outer Talisman Hall that day. My apologies for the delay in recognition!"

"I vaguely heard beforehand that an impressive Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Master had joined our Outer Talisman Hall, but the news was scant; only now do I know the details, and fellow Daoist’s Talisman Mastery is truly astonishing."

Hearing Qian Lai’s words, the few Talisman Makers were a bit surprised, immediately stood up, and respectfully saluted Qi Chuan, with one even moving a chair to make space and bringing another chair to invite Qi Chuan to sit.

These Talisman Makers were all Tier Two Talisman Masters, albeit Tier Two Middle-Lower Grade, far less than a Tier Two Upper Grade. Qian Lai, being a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Maker, was already considered a senior with profound mastery in their eyes.

And for Qi Chuan, whom even Qian Lai admired, his status was naturally even more esteemed in their eyes.

Especially after hearing Qian Lai describe the details of Qi Chuan’s crafting of the Celestial Thunder Talisman.

As Tier Two Talisman Masters, they had also heard of the Celestial Thunder Talisman and knew its crafting was arduous. To be able to craft a Celestial Thunder Talisman of perfect quality effortlessly, it seems that Fellow Daoist Qi’s Talisman Mastery must have reached the pinnacle of a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Maker?

Seeing the reaction of these Tier Two Talisman Makers, Qi Chuan was both amused and exasperated.

Initially, he just intended to have a brief conversation with Qian Lai and then return to his Cave Mansion.

But now, with such a reaction from these Talisman Makers, leaving became somewhat awkward.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, last time when I invited you to a discussion on Dao, you declined. Perhaps you won’t delay it this time?" Qian Lai’s expectation was evident in his eyes.

"Alright." Qi Chuan nodded, agreeing, and sat down on the newly moved chair, taking the initiative to say, "Previously, what were you all discussing?"

As soon as Qi Chuan spoke, Qian Lai became talkative.

Under his influence, the other few Tier Two Talisman Makers also began talking about the Talisman-Making experiences and insights they had previously exchanged.

Now and then, Qi Chuan would say a word or two.

Even though Qian Lai was a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Master, his conversations with these Tier Two Middle-Lower Grade Talisman Makers naturally involved some Tier Two Middle-Lower Grade Talismans.

With Qi Chuan’s level of understanding of such Tier Two Middle-Lower Grade Talismans, it far exceeded theirs, including Qian Lai’s.

Even if Qi Chuan did not say much, just an occasional word or two was enough to astonish these Tier Two Middle-Lower Grade Talisman Makers, making them feel as if they had gained a lot, as though a single word had cleared the fog.

Even Qian Lai, after hearing this, seemed to have new insights, enhancing his understanding of Tier Two Middle-Lower Grade Talismans.

However, these were not the most critical aspects.

The most crucial part was the occasional implicit indication of foundational Talisman-Making knowledge in Qi Chuan’s words.

Due to the Hundredfold Critical Strike, Qi Chuan’s foundational Talisman-Making knowledge was incomparably solid and firm. If it were likened to the foundation of a skyscraper, then Qi Chuan’s foundation would undoubtedly be the most solid and perfect of its kind, devoid of any weaknesses, truly able to support an endlessly high building.

Qi Chuan’s words mostly consisted of understanding Tier Two Middle-Lower Grade Talismans, yet just a small portion conveyed some foundational Talisman-Making knowledge.

But it was precisely this small portion of implicit foundational knowledge that shocked Qian Lai and the others more than the already precious understanding of Tier Two Middle-Lower Grade Talismans.

"So...so strong!"

"No wonder he’s someone who can effortlessly craft a perfect Celestial Thunder Talisman..."

After half an hour of conversation, including Qian Lai, the few Tier Two Talisman Makers present all looked at Qi Chuan with admiration in their eyes, unable to resist the feeling of awe in their hearts.

In their hearts, they even had a sense.

Perhaps even a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master, when it comes to foundational Talisman-Making aspects, might not measure up to this Fellow Daoist Qi before them.

There’s no absolute evidence, but this feeling emerged more than once in their hearts, and they couldn’t doubt its truth.

And indeed, this was the case.

Even Qi Chuan’s master, Situ Jiang.

Although he was a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master, capable of crafting Tier Two Top Grade Talismans, naturally being more adept in that specific realm than Qi Chuan.

But honestly, in terms of foundational Talisman-Making knowledge, Qi Chuan might very well surpass his mentor.

All this was due to the existence of the Hundredfold Critical Strike.

After half an hour of conversation, although Qi Chuan spoke sparingly, he nonetheless glanced around and found that several Talisman Makers had gathered around to listen.

Previously, when Qian Lai and the others were chatting, this wasn’t happening, indicating that it was Qi Chuan’s remarks that drew them.

Qi Chuan didn’t mind this.

However, he usually preferred tranquility and wasn’t fond of drawing attention.

Moreover, after half an hour of conversation, it was ample time to leave.

Thus, Qi Chuan clasped his hands together, slowly stood up, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qian, fellow Daoists, continue your discussion. I have some matters to attend to and will take my leave."

"No problem, not at all; Fellow Daoist Qi, attend to your matters. We shall continue our discussion another time if the opportunity presents itself."

"Today’s discussion with Fellow Daoist Qi was truly a fortunate opportunity for me!"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qi, for the enlightenment today..."

The few Tier Two Middle-Lower Grade Talisman Makers all promptly stood up, sincerely expressing their compliments.

For Talisman Makers, enhancing their Talisman Making Skill is far more crucial than cultivation level.

So Qi Chuan’s assistance gained their genuine acknowledgment.
