Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian glanced at the ancient book titled 'Talismanship'.

He noticed that it was very old and worn, with many traces of insects and ants gnawing at it, and even each page was covered in a thick layer of dust.

It was clear that it hadn't been read in a long time, no wonder it had been left in the corner unattended for so long.

Curious, Chen Tian carefully blew away the dust from the first few pages, revealing rows of incredibly neat small characters.

Chen Tian took a few glances and was immediately surprised, because what was recorded above was a classic on how to make talismans.

This could not help but excite Chen Tian, because he happened to have a Celestial Beast Talisman with a hole in it.

That's right, it was the Celestial Beast Talisman that Ling Yazi had summoned when Chen Tian escaped from him with Little Dragon.

However, later, Chen Tian inadvertently activated the guardian formation at the entrance of岚林洞, causing the Celestial Beast Talisman to be pierced with a hole and lose its function.

So Chen Tian thought, if he could learn talismanship and then repair the Celestial Beast Talisman, wouldn't he get a very good magic weapon for nothing?

After all, Chen Tian had experienced the power of the Celestial Beast Talisman.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

"Junior Brother, I've kept you waiting. There are many miscellaneous matters here, so I was delayed for a while."

Just then, Ji Tianyi finished his business and walked towards Chen Tian.

However, Chen Tian was so engrossed in reading that he didn't hear him.

Ji Tianyi, feeling curious, nudged Chen Tian and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, what are you looking at that's so fascinating?"

Hearing this, Chen Tian came back to his senses and said to Ji Tianyi with a happy face, "Senior Brother, can I borrow this book?"

"Hmm?"

Ji Tianyi was confused by Chen Tian's startled appearance, but after taking a look at the book in his hand, he immediately burst out laughing and said, "Junior Brother, you should know that our Xianyu Sect has a rule that only those who have reached the third level of the Qi Cultivation Stage can borrow books from the Spirit Book Pavilion."

"Uh…"

Hearing this, Chen Tian's excitement that had just ignited immediately subsided. That's right, he remembered that there was indeed such a rule in the sect.

So for a moment, Chen Tian's emotions dropped, and he kept stroking the pages of the book with his hands, seeming very reluctant.

Seeing his appearance, Ji Tianyi laughed again and said, "Alright, Junior Brother, don't make such an expression. Don't worry, you still have Senior Brother here."

Hearing Ji Tianyi's meaningful words, Chen Tian was first stunned, but then became happy again and said, "Senior Brother, do you have a way?"

Ji Tianyi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, if it were other books, I might be very embarrassed, but as for the book in your hand, it's okay if I just give it to you."

"Ah, what's going on?" Chen Tian was a little surprised and asked, "If you really give it to me, wouldn't it be difficult for you when other disciples come to borrow this book?"

"Haha, Junior Brother, don't worry about this. Let me tell you, this book has only been borrowed three times since it was included in the Spirit Book Pavilion, and it has been thirty years since the last time someone borrowed it."

"No one has borrowed it for thirty years?" Chen Tian couldn't help but click his tongue after hearing this, and asked in disbelief, "What's going on? Is this talismanship not good?"

Ji Tianyi shook his head slightly and said, "Of course not. In our cultivation world, there are three techniques that are most respected. The first is the alchemist, the second is the weapon refiner, but these two are not as good as the last one, which is the talisman maker!"

"Uh? Senior Brother, don't beat around the bush with me, I'm getting dizzy. Since you said that talisman makers are so good, then why hasn't anyone borrowed this talismanship book?" Chen Tian asked helplessly.

Ji Tianyi sighed after hearing this and said, "Alas, Junior Brother, you don't know, although talismanship is good, the cost of cultivating a talisman maker is too expensive, so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it."

"Hmm, Senior Brother, what does that mean?" Chen Tian asked in confusion.

Ji Tianyi smiled and didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Junior Brother, let me ask you, how many immortal crystal stones can you receive in a year?"

Chen Tian didn't know why Ji Tianyi would suddenly ask this, but he didn't dare to neglect it and replied, "According to the sect's regulations, new disciples can receive three Spirit Enhancing Pills and one immortal crystal stone per month, so that means a total of twelve a year."

Ji Tianyi nodded, but suddenly smiled again and said, "Junior Brother, do you know that every time a talisman maker makes a talisman, it costs at least a hundred immortal crystal stones."

"What? A hundred?"

Chen Tian was stunned by this number. He could only get twelve immortal crystal stones a year, and a hundred meant that he would have to spend ten years to gather them.

"How is it, are you scared?" Seeing the horrified look on Chen Tian's face, Ji Tianyi smiled again and said, "In fact, this hundred is only the cost of making low-level talismans, and if you want to make more advanced talismans, then the immortal crystal stones needed will be doubled, and that's not even counting the waste from talisman making failures.

Although talismanship is good, the resources it requires are too huge for ordinary people to afford, so this classic on talismanship has been left unattended for decades.

"Hehe, Junior Brother, do you still want this book now?" Looking at Chen Tian's absent-minded appearance, Ji Tianyi asked with a smile on the side.

Chen Tian's mind was racing at this time. After a long while, he frowned and looked at Ji Tianyi firmly and said, "Yes, I want it."

"Eh?" Seeing Chen Tian's persistent appearance, Ji Tianyi was really a little surprised.

He originally thought that Chen Tian would give up after understanding the various difficulties of talismanship, but he didn't expect that he still insisted on this book.

Ji Tianyi's face also became serious, and he said in a rather solemn tone, "Junior Brother, I'll ask you again, do you really want it?"
