"Liao Yunming, what do you want? Do you not trust my words, He Changyou?"
He Changyou’s face was a bit unsightly. He didn’t even call Liao Yunming ’Senior Brother’ anymore, but directly used his na.
The Cyan Creek Sect has always been very skilled in Spirit Plant cultivation.
But because Spirit Plant cultivation is auxiliary, and most of the work can be done by servant disciples.
So the Spirit Plant Room of the Hundred Arts Hall doesn’t hold a high position in the Sect.
This ti, He Changyou discovered this talent, Chu Ning, and personally brought him over, actually wanting to show off to Liao Yunming.
Therefore, Liao Yunming’s doubts at this mont undoubtedly made He Changyou extrely angry.
"Junior Brother He, don’t get angry," Liao Yunming said with a smile, waving his hand.
"I’m not questioning you, I just want to see this Nephew Chu’s talent in talisman making.
If he truly is promising material, then our Spirit Talisman Pavilion could naturally impart more advanced talisman making techniques."
On hearing Liao Yunming, He Changyou’s face slightly eased.
However, his expression slightly hesitated.
Although he previously told the disciples in the Spirit Plant Room’s dojo that Chu Ning’s success rate was not just luck.
But deep down, he sowhat believed Chu Ning’s words.
He Changyou also thought that Chu Ning succeeded with two out of three talisman papers, which brought a relatively relaxed mindset.
So, He Changyou was not sure if Chu Ning could achieve the sa success rate now if trying again.
Liao Yunming seed to see what He Changyou was thinking and laughed:
"Junior Brother doesn’t need to worry, the success rate may be influenced by various factors.
But I just need to observe Nephew’s state when making talismans to sowhat judge."
On hearing this, He Changyou had nothing to say even if he wanted to, so he just looked at Chu Ning.
"Since Master Liao wants to test you, you must perform well."
"Yes!"
Chu Ning cupped his hands in response, though his heart was slightly stirred.
Just now, he heard Liao Yunming’s words clearly.
If he could still show a 50% success rate in talisman making, he could learn more advanced techniques.
This was undoubtedly a great temptation for Chu Ning.
After making the Wood Escape Talisman, Chu Ning was already certain of the Talismanic Spirit Body’s extraordinary talent in talisman making.
If he could seize this opportunity to learn better techniques, Chu Ning would certainly welco it.
If not for the fear that showing his true ability would be too shocking, inviting too much attention to his secret,
Chu Ning might have impulsively demonstrated an even higher success rate.
However, Chu Ning quickly suppressed this impulse.
He resolved to perform well to catch Steward Liao’s eye.
At least for now, having a new disciple with talisman-making talent is not sothing too difficult to accept.
After responding, Chu Ning took out the brush, ink, and paper from his storage bag, concentrating himself, and began making another Wood Escape Talisman.
The first sheet still had so flaws, but it was enough to catch Steward Liao’s eye.
Then, when Chu Ning smoothly succeeded in completing several Wood Escape Talismans.
Steward Liao’s expression imdiately beca sowhat heated.
"Junior Brother, no, Senior Brother He, how about we discuss sothing."
After Chu Ning finished his fifth Wood Escape Talisman, Liao Yunming suddenly said to He Changyou.
He Changyou was montarily stunned by these words, looking at him in surprise.
At this mont, Liao Yunming threw out another shocking sentence.
"Transfer this nephew to our Spirit Talisman Pavilion, and we will provide enough talismans to compensate your Hundred Arts Hall."
Upon hearing this, He Changyou imdiately understood what was going on.
He was now certain that Chu Ning’s success was not a coincidence or luck, but he truly had an excellent talent for talisman making.
Even a steward like Liao Yunming from the Spirit Talisman Pavilion was tempted to recruit him.
"You’ve got a good plan," He Changyou laughed aloud at this ti.
"Chu Ning also has great talent in cultivating Wood Techniques. He is one of the key disciples we are nurturing in the Spirit Plant Room, no, I should say in the Hundred Arts Hall.
You should give up on this idea."
Chu Ning, hearing this, displayed a rather odd expression.
Since when did he beco a key disciple nurtured by the Spirit Plant Room?
Just a few days ago, he was still in Spirit Plant Room Zone D.
Apart from Zhuang Yunde, probably no one in charge even knew about him.
Thinking like this, Chu Ning couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy again.
This period of performance had indeed been too high-profile, conflicting with his always cautious and growing principles.
He hoped this matter would quickly pass, allowing him to return to his stable life of farming and growing.
But it was clear that at least for now, his wish wouldn’t co true.
"He Changyou, don’t mislead the disciple," Liao Yunming was evidently a bit anxious at this point.
"This nephew’s talent in talisman making is extrely outstanding, even incredibly rare in our Spirit Talisman Pavilion.
Do you really want him to be confined to a life in the fields?"
"What’s wrong with the fields?" He Changyou snorted.
"Without the Spirit Plant Room, a door under the Hundred Arts Hall, providing logistics support, where would you get so many resources?
Your talisman papers, brushes... aren’t they all made from materials provided by our Spirit Plant Room?"
"Senior Brother Liao!" He Changyou’s tone beca heavier at this point.
"Chu Ning’s talent for talisman-making is clear, you should quickly teach him the technique.
This was already agreed upon by the Sect before, does the Spirit Talisman Pavilion intend to go against it?"
On hearing He Changyou invoke the Sect, Liao Yunming’s expression froze slightly.
Then, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he suddenly said:
"Wait, we don’t need to transfer Chu Ning from your Hundred Arts Hall to our Spirit Talisman Pavilion, just request the Hall for him to beco an Outer Sect Dual Hall Disciple, wouldn’t that solve it?"
"Outer Sect Dual Hall Disciple?"
"Outer Sect Dual Hall Disciple?"
He Changyou and Chu Ning both spoke, though their tones differed greatly.
He Changyou seed to be pondering, while Chu Ning’s tone was one of surprise at such a proposition.
As if hearing the surprise in Chu Ning’s voice, Liao Yunming smiled at him.
"Nephew Chu might not know, but there have been Outer Disciples with talents in multiple fields before.
In such cases, various halls would compete, so the Sect created this Dual Hall Disciple status.
Such disciples can learn techniques and arts from two halls, but correspondingly, they must complete tasks for both halls.
The prerequisite is that this disciple must beco an Outer Disciple."
Fearing Chu Ning’s misunderstanding, Liao Yunming quickly added:
"But don’t worry, Nephew Chu, our Spirit Talisman Pavilion doesn’t have many tasks.
We just need you to practice talisman-making daily and regularly submit a certain number of talismans.
These tasks can be completed in your spare ti from planting."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning was heartened.
Could such a good thing truly exist?
"Senior Brother Liao, this seems like a good idea." He Changyou chid in from the side.
"Chu Ning reached the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer in just over a year, with talisman-making talent he ets the criteria for an Outer Disciple."
"But if Chu Ning becos a Dual Hall Disciple, will he enjoy the sa treatnt as other disciples in the Spirit Talisman Hall?"
"Of course!" Liao Yunming said confidently.
"As long as the Sect approves, he will be an official disciple of our Spirit Talisman Pavilion.
I will imdiately teach him an excellent talisman-making technique."
He Changyou nodded, turned to Chu Ning, and asked:
"Would you be willing?"
