These Jiang Hongguang and his wife are both around forty years old, and I hadn’t heard them ntion having descendants before.
It’s quite unexpected that at this age, they had another son, which indeed surprised Chu Ning a bit.
Hearing Chu Ning’s congratulations, Jiang Hongguang laughed heartily.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Jiang Hongguang finally bid farewell and left.
Chu Ning, on the other hand, started pondering over what gift would be appropriate to give them.
Over the years, Chu Ning’s storage bag had accumulated quite a few items.
However, many of these items were obtained from defeating other cultivators.
Giving them to a baby celebrating a full month of life was undoubtedly inappropriate, and there was also the risk that if anyone recognized them, it might bring trouble to the recipient.
After so thought, Chu Ning decided that giving a few talismans would be more appropriate.
But of course, the grade shouldn’t be too low; interdiate talismans were a must. As for which talisman...
Chu Ning felt a slight inspiration in his heart at that mont.
Originally, he didn’t have many interdiate middle grade talismans, mostly purchased from the Cloud Sea Pavilion previously.
However, after going through the Spirit Realm and several other battles, he was left with only one or two.
Nonetheless, it seed like he could try crafting this interdiate middle grade talisman himself.
In fact, after reaching Qi Refining Perfection and being able to make interdiate lower grade talismans, Chu Ning had already started analyzing the talisman source with these interdiate middle grade talismans.
Yet, previously, the success rate for crafting those interdiate lower grade talismans never really increased.
Thus, Chu Ning hadn’t attempted crafting the interdiate middle grade talisman.
Two months ago, after Cen Zijin finished making the Cloud Pattern Talisman Brush, Chu Ning began crafting more interdiate lower grade talismans.
The success rates for the interdiate lower grade talismans he currently knew had already surpassed seventy percent.
Thus, he could indeed attempt crafting the interdiate middle grade talisman.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning imdiately headed to the Talisman Making Room.
After taking out his tools, he started thinking about an interdiate middle grade talisman called the Earth Arrow Spirit Talisman.
This talisman was an earth attribute defense talisman that Chu Ning purchased from the Cloud Sea Pavilion initially.
The talisman source analysis was already long completed, making it perfect for a practice attempt now.
Crafting interdiate middle grade talismans was indeed challenging; theoretically, Chu Ning could craft this talisman after analyzing its source.
However, when he actually attempted it, it wasn’t simple at all.
After all, this was a case of crafting a talisman beyond his current level.
After dozens of attempts, Chu Ning finally succeeded in crafting the first talisman.
This crafting success rate was indeed the lowest Chu Ning had encountered since learning talisman making.
However, upon completing the first talisman, the subsequent success rate quickly improved.
Over the next few days, Chu Ning continued to practice.
The crafting success rate swiftly increased from around ten percent to nearly thirty percent.
The quality of the talismans was also steadily improving and stabilizing.
Chu Ning selected the three Earth Arrow Talismans he was most satisfied with, then made a Hollow Jade Pendant using a piece of jade, placing the three talismans inside the pendant.
When the ti set by Jiang Hongguang arrived, Chu Ning left his cave mansion and flew to the center of Feihong Island.
Since today they were expecting guests from other islands, Jiang Hongguang possibly thought it wasn’t good for too many people to know about the Tier Two Hidden Spirit Vein.
So the banquet was not held in his newly opened cave mansion.
Instead, it was set up in the original Island Lord’s Mansion within the island.
Previously, because of the scattered Spiritual Qi from the Tier One Spirit Vein, Jiang Hongguang hadn’t specifically opened a cave mansion.
Instead, he built a spacious courtyard in the island’s center as the Island Lord’s Mansion.
Chu Ning didn’t use the Wind Chasing Shuttle; instead, he flew over directly using the Divine Wind Escape.
He hadn’t used this escape technique much since acquiring it and wanted to take this opportunity to try it.
Flying to the center of Feihong Island, from a distance, Chu Ning saw a large courtyard.
When Chu Ning first ca to Feihong Island, he’d visited once, and quickly descended in front of the courtyard.
"Is this Elder Chu?"
Chu Ning had just landed at the gate when a cultivator, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, approached respectfully and asked.
Chu Ning nodded, sowhat surprised, and said:
"You recognize ?"
This cultivator imdiately bowed and saluted, saying:
"My master showed your portrait and instructed specifically to greet the elder here."
Hearing the young man’s words, Chu Ning couldn’t help but feel amused at how formally Jiang Hongguang was taking everything.
The fact that Jiang Hongguang had taken in disciples caught Chu Ning a bit off guard too.
But thinking about it, in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, reaching the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining already qualified soone to be a small isle master, so it seed reasonable.
Under the guidance of this young cultivator, Chu Ning entered the main gate, and before he’d taken a few steps, Jiang Hongguang quickly ca out to greet him.
"Fellow Daoist Chu is here. I apologize for not coming out to et you; please forgive ."
Chu Ning cupped his hands towards him, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you’re too kind."
As they conversed, Jiang Hongguang led Chu Ning into the main hall.
The young cultivator watching Chu Ning’s back was full of envy.
"I heard from my master that this Elder Chu is already at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, and he’s younger than ."
The young man muttered softly.
Though Chu Ning had walked a bit far, he still heard the remark.
He then smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, how many disciples have you taken?"
Hearing this question, Jiang Hongguang imdiately felt a bit embarrassed and replied:
"It’s embarrassing. In my early years, as I didn’t have children, I thought about having so juniors around.
Over ti, I took in about seven or eight disciples; it’s sowhat a case of leading the young astray, making a bit of a laughingstock for Fellow Daoist Chu."
"It’s not a big deal; the fact that these people can embark on the cultivation path is largely thanks to Fellow Daoist Jiang’s guidance."
