I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 1014 Mr. Tongwen
"Every year is getting worse than the last. But I have a first-class talent, so I can do the job." Si Xue nodded secretly, and his eyes towards Wan Yaozu became softer.

At this time, his mission was basically completed, but he could not leave yet, because in addition to recruiting these new followers, another purpose of this awakening conference was to recruit independent practitioners.

He cleared his throat, waved his sleeves, and said, "Those who weren't chosen may leave. Those who were chosen, stand behind me. Now, let's proceed to the second item. As everyone knows, our Holy Church has always been eager to recruit talented people, and our Lord is always looking for talented people. However, our Holy Church is not a place where just anyone can join."

At this time, all the wandering cultivators who came here for this purpose came forward. One of them, who looked like a scholar and was wearing a gray robe, said with a smile.

"Master Mo, we all know the rules. I wonder how many spots are available this time?"

The Master of Learning looked around and said with a faint smile, "If you have the ability, we will welcome you. We are just afraid that some people will take advantage of the situation, so we have to resort to this last resort. Of course, those with special skills can be recruited on merit. Anyone who joins our sect will be provided with food and supplies. The specific treatment will be determined according to the actual situation. In short, we will not let you suffer any loss. Now, if there are any fellow practitioners who are good at planting, forging, alchemy, talisman making, etc., please step forward first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen men and women of different appearances immediately walked out from the crowd, including the gray-robed scholar who had just asked the question.

Si Xue raised an eyebrow and asked, "I didn't know you, the Soul-stealing Scholar, had this miscellaneous skill?"

The scholar smiled and said, "Not long ago, I received instruction from a master of talismans, and now I have gained some experience. These are the ones I drew some time ago. I hope Master Mo will appreciate them."

As he spoke, he immediately took out several talismans from his sleeves. Each of these talismans was flashing with light, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary items.

Si Xue nodded slightly, raised his hand, and several talismans fell into his hands. He took a quick look at them, then handed them to an old man behind him. The old man had been standing by his side from the beginning, but he had not made any movement when he recruited new disciples before, even when Wan Yaozu was tested to have A-level qualifications. It was not until this moment that he finally had a different reaction.

He just took a step forward and took the talisman paper from the Si Xue's hand in a dignified manner. There seemed to be a certain gleam in his eyes. It was obvious at a glance that he had either practiced some kind of spiritual eye technique, or activated a poisonous insect that enhanced his eyesight. Of course, the Soul-Stealing Scholar recognized this man and knew that he was a well-known casual cultivator in this area.

This man has a nickname, called Mr. Tongwen. His origin is mysterious. When he appeared in southern Xinjiang, he already looked very old. Almost no one has ever seen him take action. It is said that his cultivation was wasted and he could not use his magic power. However, he was known by people because of his pair of eyes.

The spiritual eye technique he practiced was called the Morning Sun Purple Eyes. Now he had only activated one or two percent of it. If he activated it with all his strength, a dazzling purple light would appear in his eyes, which was said to be able to dispel delusion and illusion. Of course, this was not necessary most of the time. Just a slight activation was enough for Mr. Tongwen to display his full abilities.

No one knew his true name, but they all called him Mr. Tongwen. As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. He was called Mr. Tongwen because he possessed a wealth of knowledge, both ancient and modern, and with his clairvoyant eyes, he was the one to identify. However, the Soul-Snatching Scholar had never heard that he had joined the Moon Worship Cult, and his resolve to do so became even stronger.

Mr. Tongwen looked over the talismans several times before muttering, "These talismans are quite good. They're made of the yellow paper and cinnabar that's quite popular in Southern Xinjiang. They use the Sealing Word Method, and contain four magical powers: wind, thunder, fire, and water. Simply tear them open and they're ready to use. They're exactly what the sect needs. It's a shame the craftsman wasn't very skilled. They may appear to be shining, but in reality, the spiritual energy within has leaked out. I'm afraid they won't last long. The longer they're stored, the less powerful they become."

When the Soul-stealing Scholar heard the last few words, a strange look flashed across his face, but he still smiled and said, "Mr. Tongwen is indeed very knowledgeable. I have only been learning talisman techniques for a short time, so this is the case. However, please rest assured, Master Mo. As long as you give me a little more time and practice more, I will definitely be able to draw talisman paper that will satisfy you."

"Yeah," Si Xue nodded indifferently, then waved his hand, signaling the Soul-Stealing Scholar to stand behind him.

A flash of joy crossed the face of the Soul-Stealing Scholar, and he quickly walked to the side of Mr. Tongwen and bowed to him. Unexpectedly, Mr. Tongwen's expression remained unchanged, like a stone statue. The Soul-Stealing Scholar felt disappointed and was angry in his heart, but he did not show any sign on his face. He just thought to himself.

"You old man, I've heard you have a bad temper. Seeing you today, I know the rumors are true. You're like a stone in a toilet, stinky and hard. Humph, when I get to a high position in the future, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!!!"

No one knew about his inner complaints, but Si Xue had already begun to check the skills of others. Of course, checking the finished product here was only the initial stage, and there would naturally be other tests to prevent cheating. Of course, there were very few people who would do such a thing. Even if someone managed to get away with it, they would not be able to rest easy after joining the Moon Worship Sect.

Based on the skills and abilities you demonstrate in the test, corresponding tasks and necessary output will be assigned to you. If you fail to achieve them, you will face bad things.

Moreover, Mr. Tongwen had a sharp eye and could even spot many problems. He could expose the problem just by looking at the finished product and asking a few questions. Among them, there was a middle-aged man who claimed to be able to make pills. After he presented the pills, he was speechless after being questioned by Mr. Tongwen. He only knew the prescription and the properties of the medicine, but was completely unaware of the intricacies and changes in the pill making process.

Mr. Tongwen immediately concluded that the Qi-invigorating and Yuan-replenishing Pill he presented was definitely not made by him. Just by smelling the pill, he deduced that the medicinal materials were improperly handled during the refining of the pill. The petals of the Heyue Orchid were overcooked and burnt. Only later did he use two more parts of the Rootless Spirit Rain to neutralize it and the pill was luckily made. However, the burnt smell was difficult to conceal afterwards.

Now two more of them covered their faces and fled, obviously feeling guilty. The others were truly convinced of Mr. Tongwen's ability, and even the Soul-Stealing Scholar himself no longer had any thoughts of revenge.

And when these logistics personnel completed the identification, it was finally time for the next step.
