57: Chapter 57 Earth-Rank Golden Bell Talisman

Wherever Jiang Miaoyi's gaze landed, the items in the talisman-making room were arranged very neatly.

Various Materials for crafting spiritual talismans were neatly stacked on the shelves against the wall.

The air was filled with the crisp, clean scent of intertwined Spiritual Qi and ink.

Besides that, some scattered Puppet parts were piled on the floor.

This made Jiang Miaoyi feel quite surprised.

She had always known that Chu Feng was a gifted talisman master, but she had never heard that he was also proficient in the Dao of Puppets.

Previously, when she saw Chu Feng's Dao Companions wearing Puppet accessories, she assumed they were exchanged from the Duobao Pavilion; now it seemed things were far from simple.

She walked forward slowly and casually picked up a few Puppet parts to examine them.

The more she looked, the more astonished she became, and her brows gradually furrowed—the Materials of these parts were definitely not something ordinary Puppets could afford to use.

"Earth Gold Stone, Earth Silver Wood, Golden Core Blood Ox Horn..."

Jiang Miaoyi softly recited the names of these Materials, "These... these are all Materials for crafting Earth Rank Puppets!"

She was a bit dazed.

It was not common for talisman masters to dabble in other skills; many Cultivators, when their Cultivation stagnated, would study side skills to temper their Heart-Nature and improve their Divine Sense.

Therefore, she did not find it strange that Chu Feng made Puppets.

However, Earth Rank Puppets were definitely not something that just any side skill could touch!

Even for a Nascent Soul Cultivator, wanting to master the crafting of Earth Rank Puppets would require hundreds of years of immersion, study, and honing of skills.

Let alone that Chu Feng was only a Foundation Establishment Third Stage Cultivator.

If he could refine Earth Rank Puppets, it meant his talent in the Dao of Puppets was not inferior to the Dao of Talismans, and perhaps even stronger.

Jiang Miaoyi was very clear that Chu Feng's talent in the Dao of Talismans had long been recognized by True Monarch Haori.

He could refine Beast Spirit Talismans at the Foundation Establishment Second Stage; he was a talisman Genius rarely seen in a thousand years.

Generally speaking, for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to master one skill, they were already a favored child of heaven.

Possessing talent in two top-tier skills, and being able to reach such a standard in both, was extremely rare in the history of the Duobao Sect, truly one of a kind.

She slowly raised her head, her gaze landing on the figure in front of the talisman table, her emotions surging and difficult to calm.

How many unknown secrets was this seemingly ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator hiding?

Just then, the talisman brush in Chu Feng's hand paused abruptly.

A brilliant Spiritual light burst forth from the talisman paper, then slowly faded in an instant.

An Earth Rank Golden Bell Talisman, lustrous throughout with flowing talisman runes, had remarkably taken form.

That's right, Chu Feng could already draw Earth Rank Low Grade spiritual talismans.

This meant he had become a true Earth Talisman Master.

An Earth Talisman Master at the Foundation Establishment Third Stage had never appeared even in the history of the Duobao Pavilion.

Regarding this, Jiang Miaoyi was not particularly surprised, because Chu Feng was a Prodigy who could even draw Beast Spirit Talismans.

Although the Fire Crow Beast Spirit Talisman drawn before was only Profound Rank High Grade.

But its difficulty was higher than an ordinary Earth Rank Low Grade spiritual talisman.

"Immortal Master Miaoyi."

Chu Feng raised his head and nodded with a smile.

He had already sensed her aura when Jiang Miaoyi pushed the door open, but he was at a critical moment in talisman-making and had no time to be distracted, so he did not greet her immediately.

Jiang Miaoyi suppressed the waves in her heart, her expression returning to indifference.

Her gaze landed on the spiritual talisman in Chu Feng's hand, and she said slowly, "After learning the Beast Spirit Talisman, refining ordinary spiritual talismans is indeed much easier."

"But you are only a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator after all; to be able to successfully refine an Earth Rank Low Grade Golden Bell Talisman, your Divine Sense must have reached the Golden Core level, right?"

Chu Feng nodded candidly, his tone humble, "Immortal Master Miaoyi has a Wisdom Eye. I have been immersed in studying the talisman scriptures all day, and my Divine Sense has steadily improved through day-by-day honing; I was fortunate enough to break through to the Golden Core level a while ago."

"Possessing a Divine Sense at the Core Formation level during the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, this talent is indeed rare."

Jiang Miaoyi praised him sincerely, then changed the subject, pointing to the Puppet parts in the corner, and asked with feigned nonchalance, "Chu Feng, you are actually proficient in the Dao of Puppets? Looking at these Materials, could it be that you can refine Earth Rank Puppets?"

Chu Feng smiled and shook his head lightly, "Immortal Master Miaoyi is too kind. I only know a little bit; I only tinker with them when I have free time, and I can barely refine a few small Earth Rank Puppets."

"As for large Puppets and humanoid Puppets, I cannot make them yet."

The corners of Jiang Miaoyi's mouth raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, "Being able to refine small Earth Rank Puppets, Chu Feng, your attainments in the Dao of Puppets are already quite remarkable."

"However, 'mastering everything is not as good as being an expert in one'; your core focus right now should still be on the study of the Dao of Talismans."

"As for the Dao of Puppets, it is not too late to delve into it after you reach the Sect and have sufficient resources and Legacy."

She muttered to herself, being able to touch the Earth Rank level just by tinkering in her spare time—if those Cultivators who spent their whole lives studying the Dao of Puppets heard this, they would probably be so angry they would vomit blood on the spot.

"Thank you for the reminder, Immortal Master Miaoyi, I understand." Chu Feng nodded with a smile, then asked, "I wonder if Immortal Master Miaoyi has any business coming here?"

Jiang Miaoyi came back to her senses, suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and said casually, "Nothing major, just to see your recent progress in studying the [Heavenly Talisman Scripture]."

"There is still some time before we go to the headquarters, so it is good to help you plan your subsequent Cultivation direction."

Chu Feng did not hide anything and answered truthfully, "I have already mastered six of the seven Beast Spirit Talismans in the first volume of the [Heavenly Talisman Scripture], and the remaining one is not difficult either."

"Not bad, the speed of progress has far exceeded my expectations."

Jiang Miaoyi rarely showed an expression of approval, "I originally thought you would need several more years."

"I didn't expect that with the help of the Golden Core level Divine Sense, the progress would be so rapid."

"At this rate, it is very likely that before heading to the headquarters, you will be able to comprehend the second volume of the [Heavenly Talisman Scripture], and to aim for Earth-Grade True Disciple, you need to comprehend the first two volumes."

"Don't worry, I will find a way for you to get the second volume of the [Heavenly Talisman Scripture]."

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Chu Feng's eyes, and he quickly bowed to thank her, "Immortal Master Miaoyi has gone to great trouble."

The second volume of the [Heavenly Talisman Scripture] could not be exchanged just with contribution points; it also required at least the authority of a Profound-Grade True Disciple.

Chu Feng had enough contribution points, but not enough authority.

Therefore, he could only continue to owe Jiang Miaoyi a favor.

Anyway, he already owed her enough.

At worst, he would deal with it later.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Duobao Sect.

On Fubao Peak.

Hearty laughter could be heard from time to time in the main peak hall; it was extremely piercing, and even the guards on both sides of the hall door could hear it clearly.

The guards looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

Their Peak Master had always been stern and not prone to smiling, and was usually very strict with Disciples. Why was he so happy today? It was too unusual.

Inside the hall, the Master of Fubao Peak was patting his newly accepted closed-door Disciple, his face full of gratification, his tone hiding undisguised excitement, "Disciple, well done! With your talent in the Dao of Talismans, you will definitely be able to climb the True Disciple ascending dragon ranking!"

"As a newly promoted True Disciple, in addition to the rewards from the ascending dragon ranking, you can also participate in the competition for the hidden dragon ranking."

"With the bonus from both rankings, your goal of aiming for the Heaven-Grade True Disciple is almost guaranteed!"

"Once you become a Heaven-Grade True Disciple, not only will you be able to obtain richer resources and Legacy, you will also be able to meet the Sect Master directly."
