Cultivation: I have an inventory

"Did you really just break through?"

Hong Jiantao put down the ice talisman in his hand and glanced at Xiao Changqing with a smile.

Xiao Changqing coughed, evaded the important and said: "I had a chance to succeed when I was practicing at home, but I thought it was too unstable and the probability was too low, so I wanted to wait until the talisman skills were stable before announcing them."

Hong Jiantao shook his head and said amusedly: "You kid, you are quite honest. Although you deliberately hid your clumsiness and lowered the quality of your talisman, pretending that you had just made a breakthrough. It seemed flawless, but you wanted to hide it from me, the old man. A little bit tender.”

"Of course I can't hide it from your sharp eyes, the shopkeeper." Xiao Changqing suppressed his laughter.

Shopkeeper, I'm sorry.

It’s not like I’m trying to trick you on purpose.

I really can't tell the truth. If I told the truth, it would be too shocking.

After a year of continuous training, and with the blessing of Talisman Talent, Xiao Changqing has completely consolidated the realm of a first-level mid-level Talisman Master. There are several types of Talisman that he can draw by himself even without the blessing of the Double-winged Tiger Hair Pen.

Nowadays, he is not far away from being a first-level high-grade Talisman Master!

"Not bad, not bad. Four years... no, including the time you spent hiding your stupidity, in less than four years, you have been promoted from knowing nothing to a first-level talisman master. This speed is not much faster than that of Lu Qiulai."

Hong Jiantao nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing Xiao Changqing fulfill his talent, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Xiao Changqing was able to embark on the path of a Talisman Master because he was the one who led the way, and he was the one who watched him grow up little by little.

Now I feel like I can see the younger generation becoming talented.

"Being able to break through to the first-level Talisman Master at this time is also your blessing. I was worried before that if you were still a basic Talisman Master after I left, the next days would be much more difficult."

Hong Jiantao said pointedly.

Xiao Changqing heard the implication and asked tentatively: "Is it the new shopkeeper who is not easy to get along with?"

Hong Jiantao sighed and said, "It's not a question of whether we get along well or not, but this new shopkeeper once served as a law enforcement elder within the sect!"

Xiao Changqing was shocked when he heard this.

The Luoxia Sect's law enforcement elder is a position that only foundation-building monks are qualified to serve.

In other words, the next manager of Lingfu Pavilion will be a foundation-building monk?

That would be a big deal for the entire Nanshanfang.

The situation of six major foundations will be broken and become seven majors.

"Don't worry too much. Since you have become a first-level Talisman Master, you have the right to speak no matter who takes over. After all, a First-Level Talisman Master is considered a relatively important talent in the sect and needs preferential treatment."

Hong Jiantao stroked his long beard and warned pointedly: "However, you should keep a low profile and be more cautious. Not only you, but also other Talisman Masters in the pavilion. Otherwise, if you are caught , it’s not easy to get away..."

Xiao Changqing was shocked when he heard this.

Does the shopkeeper mean making extra money privately?

Before this, it was tacitly understood that the Talisman Masters of Lingfu Pavilion would make some extra money.

As long as it wasn't particularly excessive, he didn't blatantly violate the prohibition, it wasn't particularly excessive, and every month's work was completed on time and in quantity, and Hong Jiantao would always turn a blind eye to exploit loopholes in the rules.

After all, monks are also human beings. Who would have no selfish motives?

In particular, the Talisman Masters of Lingfu Pavilion are not loyal disciples trained by Luoxia Sect since childhood. Almost all of them are "half-way monks". It is impossible to expect them to rely on their faith and dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the sect and regard the sect as a family. of.

If you force it, it may be counterproductive.

But the situation in the future will be different from before...

Xiao Changqing wanted to ask more, but Hong Jiantao did not answer.

"When Lu Qiu left, he gave you a double-winged tiger brush. Now that I'm leaving, old man, I can't be stingy and leave you nothing."

Hong Jiantao changed the topic and took out the gift he had prepared, a pencil case.

The pen box was opened, and what was placed inside was the Silver Moon Wolf Pen that Xiao Changqing had coveted a few years ago, and the equipment effect has made him still remember it!

Because this talisman pen has the same effect as the spiritual root quality +1 of the Enlightenment Futon, it is the talisman master's minor level +1!

A few years ago, Xiao Changqing just took a quick look and couldn't put this talisman pen into the inventory. He didn't know what the specific equipment effect was like and what the so-called small level was.

When Xiao Changqing heard that the shopkeeper Hong Jiantao was going to give this pen to him, he was surprised and excited, and at the same time, he also thought of something for the first time.

He looked at Shopkeeper Hong with wide eyes and asked: "Shopkeeper, your talisman skills... have also broken through?"

This silver moon wolf brush is a talisman brush that has been used by shopkeeper Hong for decades. It is the most exquisite among the first-order talisman brushes. It is no worse than the double-winged tiger brush given by Lu Qiu.

But after Lu Qiu became a second-level talisman master, the first-level talisman pen was somewhat delayed, so he gave it to Xiao Changqing.

Now Hong Jiantao also wants to give away his favorite pen that he has used for decades. Obviously, it cannot be just because he loves Xiao Changqing and feels that Xiao Changqing is a malleable talent.

Unless he, like Lu Qiu, is promoted to a second-level talisman master, he will no longer need a first-level talisman pen.

Hong Jiantao smiled and said: "Absolutely. You can think so."

"Congratulations, shopkeeper!" Xiao Changqing was surprised. Becoming a second-level talisman master, in some ways, it is even more difficult to advance to the foundation building realm!

Because both the number and importance of second-level talisman masters are far higher than those of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

Just like in a Jindan sect like Luoxia Sect, although ordinary foundation-building elders are also prominent and important.

But they are far from being strategic figures of the sect.

And second-level talisman masters can be called!

This is also the reason why Luoxia Sect hurriedly sent people to invite and promise various benefits after Lu Qiu broke through to the second-level talisman master.

Now, Shopkeeper Hong has also sold this step.

But if you think about it carefully, it is actually reasonable.

Shopkeeper Hong can almost be regarded as Lu Qiu's master and the person who led him to the door.

More than ten years ago, he was already a first-level top-grade talisman master.

Later, Lu Qiu quickly became famous, and Shopkeeper Hong has always been in everyone's mind that the talisman skills of Lingfu Pavilion are not inferior to Lu Qiu.

Until Lu Qiu was promoted to the second-level talisman master, no one put the two on the same level.

Today, Shopkeeper Hong broke through a few years later, which is reasonable.

"I am an old man, not as good as you young people, not worth mentioning." Hong Jiantao waved his hands and said with emotion.

He sighed with emotion, and he was also sighing in his heart.

It was a breakthrough.

But the news of the breakthrough was hidden for nearly twenty years. Now it is finally no longer hidden, but the glory is gone...

Neither Lu Qiu nor the kid in front of him know the pain in his heart over the years.

After giving the pen, Hong Jiantao was ready to leave.

But when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Xiao Changqing solemnly: "By the way. If you can be promoted to a second-level talisman master in a dozen years, the sect will recruit you back to the sect. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go. At that time, just say that you came to Liyang Xiancheng to find me, and the sect will not embarrass you... In short, the situation should be clear by then. You don't need to know too much now, just remember my words."
