Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 54: Recruiting a Disciple (Second Update, Please Read)
"Okay, today's tutorial ends here."

"Yang Feng, you stay..."

"I heard that you've already mastered the art of drawing three first-grade, mid-grade talismans: the Fire Bomb Talisman, the Protective Talisman, and the Ice Talisman. I'm free today, so could you draw them for me?"

After Xu Wenqing finished explaining the techniques for drawing the Golden Arrow Talisman, he looked at the time and announced that the lecture was over. He then deliberately kept Yang Feng in front of the other first-grade, mid-level talisman makers in the factory.

"Ok."

Seeing that Xu Wenqing had specially kept him, Yang Feng had some vague guesses in his mind and nodded.

When the others heard Xu Wenqing announce the end of the lecture, they were about to get up and leave, but when they saw that Xu Wenqing kept Yang Feng and wanted to see Yang Feng draw several levels of perfect talismans, they all stopped and sat back in front of their talisman-making tables.

Seeing this, Xu Wenqing did not stop it.

Yang Feng saw that everyone and Xu Wenqing were looking at him, their eyes full of anticipation. It was obvious that they all wanted to witness him drawing those talismans that had reached the perfect level with their own eyes.

So Yang Feng did not hesitate.

He then took out a piece of talisman paper, dipped it in some blood ink, and began to draw in front of Xu Wenqing and other first-level mid-grade talisman makers.

About half an hour later, Yang Feng successfully drew a fine fire bomb talisman.

Everyone nodded slightly.

An hour later, Yang Feng successfully drew another exquisite amulet.

Everyone was envious.

After that, half an hour later, when everyone saw that Yang Feng had successfully drawn another fine ice talisman, they already knew the result in their hearts.

But I still couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"I remember that Director Yang was promoted to a first-class mid-grade talisman maker in our factory, and it has only been a year."

"I didn't expect that Brother Yang could raise his drawing skills of three first-grade mid-grade talismans to perfection in such a short time."

"Sure enough, a genius is a genius."

"People like us can't compare at all..."

"Yes."

"Back then, it took me four or five years to perfect my drawing skills for these three talismans. Now, with this comparison, I understand what genius really is."

"..."

On the side, several colleagues who were watching, after Yang Feng had smoothly drawn three different types of first-grade, mid-quality talismans, could not help but lower their voices and discuss and praise him with their colleagues.

Although these people had already heard from some rumors that Yang Feng had improved the drawing skills of these three first-grade mid-grade talismans to the perfect level.

But hearing about it is one thing, and now seeing it with my own eyes is another feeling entirely.

Especially since Xu Wenqing was present at this moment.

They naturally understood that after Xu Wenqing finished the lecture, he deliberately kept Yang Feng and asked Yang Feng to draw talismans, and also allowed them to watch from the side. This matter was not as simple as it seemed.

So, some colleagues who wanted to build a closer relationship with Yang Feng, even though they knew it would be embarrassing to flatter Yang Feng in front of Xu Wenqing and Yang Feng, still couldn't help but lower their voices and enthusiastically express themselves. "Yes, Yang Feng, ever since you were promoted to a first-class mid-grade talisman maker in the factory, I have been observing your progress in talisman making over the past year."

"You were able to raise your skill level in drawing these three relatively basic first-grade, mid-grade talismans to perfection in just over a year. Your talent is truly remarkable."

Xu Wenqing didn't pay attention to the comments of the first-grade mid-quality talisman makers beside him. After seeing Yang Feng draw three different kinds of fine first-grade mid-quality talismans in one go, he couldn't help but praise Yang Feng.

Without waiting for Yang Feng to speak, he looked directly at him and said straight to the point with a serious face: "Yang Feng, I won't beat around the bush with you. I really admire your talent for making talismans. I would like to take you as my student. Are you willing?"

"Sure enough."

When these words were spoken, the colleagues watching on the side were not surprised. They had obviously guessed this result a long time ago, and they all showed envious expressions.

You know, it's not ordinary to be accepted as a student by a senior first-class top-grade talisman maker and to establish a true master-disciple relationship with him.

As long as Yang Feng agrees, it means that Yang Feng's status in the talisman factory will not only rise in the future, but he will also receive Xu Wenqing's careful guidance.

Even some of the personal connections that Xu Wenqing has built up over the years can be inherited by Yang Feng when he grows up.

Moreover, in their world of cultivating immortals, there are many cases where the relationship between masters and apprentices is closer than that between their own children.

It can be said that as long as Yang Feng is willing to become Xu Wenqing's student, then at least Yang Feng can avoid decades of detours in the future.

Over the years, the biggest wish of these first-class mid-level talisman makers in their talisman factory is to be accepted as a student by Xu Wenqing.

However, none of the talent they displayed in making talismans caught Xu Wenqing's eye.

It was not until Yang Feng appeared that Xu Wenqing began to think about accepting a disciple again.

In Xu Wenqing's opinion, if one wants to be accepted as his student, he must have great potential to become a first-class top-grade talisman maker.

However, these first-class, mid-grade talisman makers in their talisman-making factory are only one step away from becoming first-class, top-grade talisman makers.

But at this step, talent is extremely important.

After all, there is a difference between a first-grade low-grade talisman maker and a first-grade mid-grade talisman maker because the first-grade mid-grade and low-grade talisman making materials on the market are cheaper.

As long as your talent in talisman making is not too bad and you are willing to spend a lot of time and money to buy talisman making materials for learning, it can still be achieved.

If you want to become a first-class, top-grade talisman maker, you need to pay attention to the shortage of various talisman-making materials used to draw first-class, top-grade talismans on the market.

If one does not have a high talent in talisman making, one does not know how much first-grade, high-quality talisman-making materials one will have to invest in the early stages in order to increase the success rate of multiple first-grade, high-quality talismans to more than 30% and successfully obtain a first-grade, high-quality talisman maker certificate.

Therefore, whether learning other skills or the skill of making talismans, without outstanding talent, generally no teacher would be willing to accept you as a disciple.

If one relies solely on one's own efforts to advance from a first-grade mid-level talisman maker to a first-grade high-level talisman maker, the time, energy, and cost of talisman-making materials required during the process are not something an ordinary first-grade mid-level talisman maker can afford.

Moreover, even if one can eventually obtain a first-grade, top-quality talisman-making certificate, the difficulty in obtaining first-grade, top-quality talisman-making materials and the low success rate of drawing first-grade, top-quality talismans will result in his income not catching up with that of drawing first-grade, mid-quality talismans.

When Xu Wenqing asked him to stay and draw talismans in front of other colleagues, Yang Feng also guessed Xu Wenqing's intention.

So when Xu Wenqing said he wanted to take him in as a student, Yang Feng was not surprised. Instead, he immediately showed a flattered expression. In the envious eyes of everyone, he bowed to Xu Wenqing and said:

“The students are willing.”
