Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Upon hearing this, Kuai Tong opened his eyes slightly and quickly broke off a piece of century-old cinnabar to examine it.

This material is essential for making first-tier low-grade talismans, and the daily output is very high.

If this is true, and these defective products are sold in large quantities, Xuanfuzhai's reputation will definitely be damaged.

His hope of removing the word "vice" from the title will naturally be dashed.

But after smelling it carefully, he frowned:

"That's right, this is just ordinary century-old cinnabar?"

He himself is a first-tier talisman master, and he will soon break through to the second tier.

However, he thought about how detailed the information Jiang Yu had just given him was.

Without hesitation, he threw the century-old cinnabar into his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu's eyes widened, and he thought to himself with admiration:

"With a ruthless person like him, if he doesn't succeed, who will?"

"Pooh!"

Kuai Tong spat out the century-old cinnabar, wiped the residue from his mouth, and said to Jiang Yu:

"Sir, you're right, this is indeed a batch of defective products."

Kuai Tong glared at the waiter beside him:

"What happened? Does the person who made the purchase even want to keep their job? Such a huge mistake! If it gets out, what a blow it will be to Xuanfuzhai's reputation!"

The waiter was scolded and turned pale with fright, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu interjected:

"Manager Kuai, you shouldn't have scolded this guy. If he hadn't brought it over, I wouldn't have noticed the problem."

He not only did nothing wrong, but he also made contributions.

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, Kuai Tong's expression softened.

Upon closer reflection, this guy was indeed not the person directly in charge.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"For the sake of this guest, I'll give you credit, and you can get a promotion."

Go and get some fresh, high-quality, century-old cinnabar from an older batch, and give it to this customer free of charge.

"This isn't a good idea!"

Although Jiang Yu verbally refused, his body involuntarily urged the waiter to hurry up and go.

The waiter's face lit up with joy:

"Thank you for your guidance, manager! I'll go right away!"

Kuai Tong looked at Jiang Yu, his eyes solemn, and said:

"This guest has such discerning eyes; their talisman-making skills must be extremely high?"

Jiang Yu easily saw through the problem that even he couldn't, which shows his strength.

Jiang Yu said modestly:

"I'm just a lowly first-tier talisman master, I don't have much skill."

"I can see that it's all thanks to my master's meticulous teaching."

In fact, Jiang Yu learned the art of talisman making entirely on his own.

Although his master was highly skilled at making talismans, Jiang Yu wanted to learn, but the answer he received was:

"Disciple, your master is about to attain great enlightenment. You don't need to learn these low-level Taoist techniques. When the time comes, with a single finger from your master, you will be able to learn all kinds of profound Taoist techniques directly."

Jiang Yu grew angrier the more he thought about it:

Damn it, I don't know what kind of monster it is, it not only tricked his master, but also tricked his disciple several times.

Once we catch it, we'll bombard it with palm lightning eight hundred times a day.

Kuai Tong, observing the changes in Jiang Yu's expression, understood:

"It seems this young man has also received brutal training in the art of talismans since childhood, otherwise he wouldn't be so stressed just from recalling the past."

When I was a child, my parents forced me to draw talismans and write incantations every day, regardless of the weather.

He couldn't help but pat Jiang Yu on the shoulder and say:

"Young brother, I understand. The path of cultivation is never easy!"

Jiang Yu was completely bewildered:

"What are you talking about?"

Having witnessed Jiang Yu's abilities, Kuai Tong couldn't resist the urge to recruit him.

"Young man, why don't you join our Xuanfuzhai? Recently, the 'Tianmen Mountain Secret Realm' has opened, attracting a large number of cultivators. Now, talismans are in extremely short supply."

"The Tianmen Mountain Secret Realm?" Jiang Yu asked in surprise.

Secret realms are usually opened up by high-level cultivators. They are rich in spiritual energy and resources, and contain a large number of precious cultivation resources.

It might even contain precious legacies left behind by powerful cultivators.

Of course, there are bound to be many dangers lurking within.

Each opening of a secret realm triggers a large-scale struggle among various forces.

The entire Guobei County is likely to be in turmoil soon.

Jiang Yu politely declined with his hands clasped.

"I'm sorry, Steward Kuai, thank you for your kind offer, but I'm used to being free, so I won't trouble you."

He had to complete the task of making the Heavenly Mandate Treasure Talisman every day, so he didn't have much time to be a beast of burden in making talismans.

Moreover, his goal is to quickly raise his cultivation to the fourth level of Qi Refining so that he can join the True Talisman Sect.

"I was just saying that casually; it's entirely up to you!"

Kuai Tong shrugged and chuckled, then thought for a moment and said:

"How about this: you become an unofficial member of our Xuanfuzhai. Every two weeks, you provide the corresponding finished talismans, and we will give you the corresponding resources."

This is a newly released method to address the imminent shortage of talismans.

Jiang Yu's mind stirred slightly: This method not only brings a high degree of freedom, but also provides a stable source of a considerable amount of spirit stones, so he chose to agree.

After making a deal with Jiang Yu, Kuai Tong was in high spirits. Suddenly, he thought of something and pointed, saying:

"Since you have such great talent, why don't you go check out that one!"

Following the direction of Kuai Tong's finger, we saw that he was pointing to the screen in front of the lean man.

Jiang Yu was secretly delighted: "This is exactly what I wanted."

Kuai Tong explained:

"This is a rare, incomplete talisman."

This was placed here by our Xuanfuzhai manager a few years ago. Anyone can study and complete it. As long as you can complete one stroke, you can obtain the manager's first-level talisman technique insights.

You should know that our shopkeeper is a third-level talisman master, and his cultivation experience is priceless.

Some inner disciples from the six major sects couldn't resist trying it out, but after pondering for a long time, they still had no clue.

If you are confident in your talisman-making skills, you can go and take a look.

He pointed disdainfully at Fan Chizi and reminded Jiang Yu:

"However, you must not become like that person, who is obsessed and doesn't practice cultivation, but only indulges in wild fantasies all day long."

He's gone mad, believing himself to be a genius, certain he can complete the incomplete talisman, and then our shopkeeper will see his potential and take him as his last disciple.

"The cultivation insights of a third-tier talisman master?" Jiang Yu's heart surged with emotion.

If he could obtain it, his talisman skills might be able to improve even further.

Moreover, it can also complete the tasks of "all things in the world".

His eyes lit up:

"I'm very interested!"

After Jiang Yu revealed his intentions, Kuai Tong personally led Jiang Yu to the screen.

He kicked Fan Chizi away and frowned, saying:

"You've been here for almost two months. Stop daydreaming; you don't have the ability!"

"It's almost done, almost done!"

Fan Chizi nodded obsequiously, picked up the prayer mat on the ground, and hid behind it.

However, as he walked away, he secretly glared at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu was speechless. What does your incompetence have to do with me?

Jiang Yu focused his attention on the rare runes on the screen.

One minute later, Jiang Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

He had seen the complete form of this rare talisman in one of his master's books.

It is said that it was because of that book that the master was able to go from being a down-on-his-luck scholar to a Taoist cultivator.

My master didn't take that book with him; it seems I'll have to go back and look for it.
