Natural Taoist Palace, Administration Building.
Outside the office of the executive vice president, Tan Liutong knocked on the door gently.
The door opened, and the third-level puppet raised its head, with a frightening light flashing in its artificial eyes.
"Meet the principal."
"Teacher Tan, what's the matter?"
As soon as Ye Wanqing heard the other party's address, he knew it was an official business related to the teaching of the Taoist Palace.
Tan Liutong said in a deep voice: "Principal, Daozi went to the logistics department yesterday."
The puppet's movement paused slightly. Xu Jun went to the logistics department?
This shouldn't be a strange thing. Xu Jun has eight-digit credits in his hands. With such a huge fortune, he must make the best use of it.
So, even if Xu Jun went, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But it was a little strange that Tan Liutong told him about this matter.
Ye Wanqing was able to become the executive vice president of the Dao Palace, and his sensitivity in some aspects was far better than that of ordinary people. He thought for a moment and said, "Daozi wants to study the way of talismans?"
Tan Liutong nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
The puppet's big head shook slightly and said coldly, "It's too early."
Xu Jun's talent is too strong, which is already a well-known fact.
But the problem is that he has too many things to practice now, and they are too complicated.
Sword, physical skills, and thunder methods are fine, even in the way of formations, Xu Jun has already walked out of a smooth road.
The teachers of the Formation Dao Department of the Baiyi Branch praised Xu Jun's progress in formations.
If Xu Jun is now a Yuanying... no, even if he is a Jindan Zhenren, Ye Wanqing will not interfere.
Because with Xu Jun's talent, it is just a matter of raising his hand to practice to the peak of Jindan. With a lifespan of at least 800 years, Xu Jun can still accept it if he is distracted and learns another immortal skill.
But now Xu Jun is building a foundation.
Although it is much better than Qi training, the life span of a foundation-building cultivator is only more than 200 years, so it is still difficult to be completely assured.
Tan Liutong smiled bitterly and said, "Principal, you know how talented Daozi is. It would be a pity to give up."
The puppet slowly said, "Does he also have a historical talent in the way of talismans?"
When asking this question, Ye Wanqing was also half skeptical.
Tan Liutong did not speak. He turned his wrist and took out five fine talismans and spread them on the table one by one.
Although this puppet was not Ye Wanqing himself, with his Jindan-level cultivation, he could see the five talismans clearly with the help of the puppet's spiritual consciousness.
"Fine?"
These five talismans were not of good quality, but their quality was extraordinary.
If only one was a fine one, it would be fine, but if all five were fine, the meaning would be completely different.
"Yes, it's a fine product." Tan Liutong said in a deep voice: "And, please take a closer look..."
The powerful Jindan-level consciousness swept through again, and this time Ye Wanqing discovered more things.
There was a faint special charm in these five talismans. How should this charm be explained?
It's like a mark, a logo, a very conspicuous mark. The
same talisman actually has similar effects.
For example, a spirit gathering talisman, once used, will absorb as much spiritual power as possible in a nearby area and condense it together.
As long as it is a spirit gathering talisman, it must have the same effect.
However, because the people who draw the spirit gathering talisman are different and the materials used are different, the strength of the effect will also be very different.
Generally speaking, those talismans with a certain charm have a much stronger effect than ordinary talismans.
To describe it in business terms, one is a branded, guaranteed product. The other is a miscellaneous brand, something that cannot ensure quality.
The five talismans that Tan Liutong took out all contain a special charm. With Ye Wanqing's divine sense, he could tell it with a little attention, and he could also confirm that it was all done by one person.
However, this was not surprising. Since Tan Liutong mentioned Xu Jun, he could easily tell who drew the talisman.
Slowly raising his head, the puppet said in a strange tone, "Charm!"
"That's right." Tan Liutong said loudly, "Daozi is indeed a genius. He has only studied talismans for a few days, but he already has his own style of work. Haha, with such a talent for talismans, he will definitely be a grandmaster in the future."
The puppet looked at Tan Liutong deeply, and finally understood Tan Liutong's intention.
In fact, with Tan Liutong's status in the Taoist Palace, he naturally knew Xu Jun's current situation.
Normally, what Xu Jun has learned now is already messy. What he needs is no longer to expand his knowledge base, but to strive for excellence.
Well, even if we know that Xu Jun has a strong talent in the way of talismans, we should not force him to continue learning.
After all, a person's energy is limited. Once you spend too much time on this, it will inevitably encroach on other aspects.
And a foundation building...
really needs to be done within one's ability.
But even though Tan Liutong knew about this, he still came to visit. It can only be said that he was shocked by Xu Jun's talent for talismans.
The puppet fell into deep thought as his spiritual consciousness passed over these five exquisite talismans.
Tan Liutong hurriedly said: "Principal, how long do you think Daozi has been officially refining talismans?"
"Tell me." The puppet said impatiently.
Tan Liutong did not dare to delay and said quickly: "Daozi started to formally learn the way of talismans after he came out of Fengshan blessed land. After more than 20 days of practice, he felt that he had made some progress, so he went to the logistics department to exchange credits for talisman equipment." After
a pause, Tan Liutong said: "I went to Daozi's mansion yesterday. Although the talismans he drew that day were also completed in one go, at most he could only be called proficient."
The puppet nodded slowly and said: "After more than 20 days, it is already very good for you to say that he is proficient."
Tan Liutong himself is a third-level talisman master. He has taught countless talisman talents. He has seen many geniuses, so his vision is naturally high.
Being called proficient by him is definitely not as simple as ordinary people imagine.
Tan Liutong smiled bitterly and said, "Principal, after I saw the talismans drawn by Daozi, I discussed them with him and pointed out some details, and then..."
The puppet said impatiently, "Don't keep us in suspense, what happened next."
"Then Daozi had an epiphany."
Puppet: ...
"Daozi had an epiphany for a day, and then notified me to go and observe again." Tan Liutong said leisurely, "So I went over and saw Daozi drawing them in front of me."
The puppet pondered for a while and said, "You mean, Daozi had an epiphany for a day, and he completed the normalization of fine talismans, and also integrated his personal style into them?"
"Yes." Tan Liutong said with a serious face, "I graduated from the Taoist Palace. After graduation, I studied for a master's degree. I started as a part-time lecturer, and it has been more than a hundred years until today."
"In the past hundred years, I have seen countless people with talent in the way of talismans. However, when talent is so strong, it is truly one in a million."
Tan Liutong became more and more excited as he spoke. He waved his hand vigorously and said, "Principal, with such talent, it would be a crime if you don't continue to study the way of talismans."
The puppet glared at him. Although it was just a puppet, Tan Liutong could see a trace of disdain and impatience in it.
If such a talent appeared in other students, Ye Wanqing would definitely treat him as a treasure.
However, when it appeared in Xu Jun, Ye Wanqing always felt helpless.
This guy, why is he so outstanding no matter what he studies?
Why can't he be quieter and learn less!
"Teacher Tan, I understand what you mean." The puppet was silent for a moment, and said, "I still say the same thing, I won't interfere with your affairs, you go and communicate with Daozi yourself, let him decide what he wants to learn."
Tan Liutong hesitated, but when he thought of the various legends about Xu Jun, he understood that this answer was helpless, but it was not good news for him.
After all, he was just a foundation-building and had not yet achieved the golden elixir.
No matter which branch he competed with, he was naturally at a disadvantage.
However, he also had a certain degree of confidence.
The way of talismans is the basic avenue of the hundred arts of the immortal family. He believed that Xu Jun must be clear about this, so he chose the way of talismans after the way of formations.
Then, as long as Xu Jun is interested, he may not be unable to compete!
However, after leaving the office of the executive vice president, Tan Liutong had a lot of thoughts, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he was not very confident.
After all, his biggest shortcoming was that his cultivation was too poor.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there is a world of difference between foundation building and golden elixir. It is almost impossible to stand out among the golden elixir masters.
Tan Liutong stamped his feet heavily and became ruthless.
Forget it. Such a talented talisman genius must not be missed in vain.
Since I can't do it, I can only ask for external help.
Huang Kan Zhenjun, the principal of Shuiyuanxing Natural Dao Palace, is one of the only two fifth-level talisman masters in the Immortal Alliance.
If Huang Kan Zhenjun speaks, he will surely be able to overpower others.
As for whether Huang Kan Zhenjun is willing to come forward, Tan Liutong feels that if he does not give it a try, he will die with regret.
...
...
Xu Jun naturally does not know how excited and emotional Tan Liutong will be after he leaves.
He just follows the procedure to draw his own insights through the talisman pen, and then expresses these things.
However, Xu Jun never thought that when his insights on the way of talismans reach a certain level, he will naturally have the effect of analogy.
If it were someone else, even if he reached this level, he would not be able to bypass anything.
But Xu Jun is different. He is a man who has comprehended the true meaning of the Tao, and he has comprehended more than one true meaning of the Tao.
Therefore, when his talisman level reaches this level, he will leave a trace of his understanding of the true meaning of the Tao on the talisman paper.
Although there is only a trace, the true meaning of the Tao is the true meaning of the Tao. So, on those five basic talismans, there are obviously things that are very different from other similar talismans.
This is what really moved Tan Liutong and Ye Wanqing.
In the next few days, Xu Jun met with several teachers while devoting a lot of his mind to various in-depth studies of the Way of Talismans.
Since the Way of Talismans is called the basic art of the immortals, it is indeed profound and makes people unable to help but study it.
However, on this day, Xu Jun's heart moved slightly.
He suddenly had a strong premonition that something huge and extremely important to him was happening in the world of swordsmanship.
So, he immediately entered the cave, hung up a sign of retreat, and then sank his mind into his mind.
There is a time limit for using the "clone" ability to enter the other world, which is once a month. Moreover, this so-called one time is calculated from the return of the clone.
Therefore, this time Xu Jun had no chance to use the clone at all.
He could only enter the world of swordsmanship in the form of spiritual thoughts.
After slightly sensing the light spot in his mind, Xu Jun's spiritual thoughts instantly entered.
Name: Xu Jun
Age: 59 years old
Cultivation: Middle stage of foundation building (4900 sword qi origins)
Talent: Sword Dao Saint Body, Sword Heart Clear
Weapon: Fourth-level White Horse Divine Sword
True Meaning: Five Elements True Meaning, Life and Death True Meaning.
In the blink of an eye, the sword Xu Jun in this world is already 59 years old.
If he were a mortal, then at this age, he would also be an old man about to retire. However, for a cultivator, especially a foundation building cultivator, it is like the rising sun, emitting endless enviable brilliance. The
59-year-old sword Xu Jun is now a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and is not far from the late stage of foundation building. Such a cultivation speed is worthy of being a peerless genius with a sword sage body.
However, only Xu Jun knows that even if he has a sword sage body, when engraving the sword qi origin, the speed is gradually slowed down. The
current sword Xu Jun has not even engraved 5,000 sword qi origins, which is more than twice slower than the initial speed. And it is visible to the naked eye that as more sword energy origins are engraved, its speed will gradually slow down.
Just like the lower a person's cultivation is, the faster the speed of improvement will be.
However, the higher the cultivation is, the more potential is developed, and the improvement speed will gradually slow down. When the potential is exhausted, let alone continuing to improve, even if you want to maintain the current level, it will be extremely difficult.
So, where is the limit of the sword sage body?
Xu Jun didn't know, but he was very curious about it.
At this time, the reason why Xu Jun felt something and entered the sword world was because Sword Xu Jun was completing something that was extremely important to him.
After the hundred swords form a picture, it is the thousand swords that all sword cultivators dream of.
Generally speaking, unless you are a Jindan real person, and you are also a veteran, with four or five hundred years of cultivation, you don't have to consider the thousand swords into a formation.
This is not only because it is an extremely long thing to engrave the origin of the thousand swords, but more importantly, if you want to make the thousand swords form a formation, you must first be a master of formation.
Sword formation, at least the ability of a third-level formation master is required to complete the Thousand Swords Formation.
Of course, as the cultivator's ability in the formation is improved, if it reaches the level of a fourth-level formation master, or a fifth-level formation grand master, then the power of the sword formation released will surely be improved. In short
, if you want to complete the Thousand Swords Formation, then the level of a third-level formation master is the bottom line.
In the world of swordsmanship, swordsman Xu Jun only officially started to learn formations when he was 47 years old.
Lu Meixian, the leader of the Qinglian Sword Sect, and Lei Pei, the master of swordsman Xu Jun, certainly know the importance of formations to swordsmanship, but they hope that Xu Jun will concentrate on practicing swordsmanship, and then study formations after he is promoted to the Golden Core and has a longer life.
However, when swordsman Xu Jun took the initiative to propose to learn formations, they would not stop him.
Now, swordsman Xu Jun is 59 years old, and twelve years have passed.
In these twelve years, although Xu Jun of Jiandao has a fourth-level flying sword, he has not been proud and complacent, nor has he gone down the mountain to venture into the world. Instead, he still stays in the mountain gate, concentrating on engraving the origin of sword energy and studying the knowledge of formation.
It is much easier for him to study the knowledge of formation than others.
The Qinglian Sword Sect has high hopes for Xu Jun of Jiandao. No matter what sword method or formation book he wants to read in the Sutra Library, it is fully open.
Moreover, when Xu Jun asks the elders of Jindan for advice, they will teach him everything they know and never hide anything.
Because everyone knows that Xu Jun is the future of Qinglian Sword Sect, unless they are blind and blinded by greed, they will never be hostile to him.
In addition, Xu Jun of Jiandao also received the full support of Xu Jun of the Natural Dao Palace. Many knowledge that cannot be obtained in Qinglian Sword Sect, or difficult problems that are difficult to penetrate.
Xu Jun will bring them to the Natural Dao Palace and ask the masters of the Formation Department for advice.
In the past 12 years, it can be said that Jiandao Xu Jun has been fully trained in two different worlds, which has made his ability in the art of formation advance by leaps and bounds.
Today, Jiandao Xu Jun, who was setting up the formation in the mountain, was carefully observing the distribution of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and inserted the refined formation flags one by one into the corresponding positions.
In the distance, several Jindan Zhenren were watching from afar. They did not intervene, but silently paid attention to everything.
Among these people, there is Lei Pei, Xu Jun's cheap master of swordsmanship, Niu Xingwu, who is known for his hot temper, and Yue Zhijing, who is known as the best formation master among Jindan Zhenren.
"Brother Yue, what do you think of Jianzi's formation this time? Is there a possibility of being promoted to a third-level formation master?" Niu Xingwu asked anxiously.
Yue Zhijing looked at the distance from a distance, and he pondered: "Brother Niu, you are too anxious."
Lei Pei nodded repeatedly and said: "Brother Niu, Xu Jun has only been learning formations for 12 years. Think about it, in the past dynasties, who can be promoted from a formation novice to a third-level formation master in just 12 years?"
The third level!
In the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, it is an amazing threshold.
No matter which immortal skill, as long as it can be promoted to the third level, it can be called a master.
Of course, the fourth-level master and the fifth-level grand master are even rarer and more terrifying. But that is beyond the imagination of normal people, and even these Jindan Zhenren in front of them dare not hope for it.
Among the foundation-building cultivators, if someone is extremely talented in a certain aspect, it is still common for him to master a certain third-level immortal skill ahead of time.
However, it cannot be said that there is no such thing as a Jindan real person mastering a fourth-level immortal skill,
but the probability is only one in ten thousand.
The Qinglian Sword Sect is a major sword-building sect. In its ten thousand-year history of inheritance, geniuses and
eccentrics have emerged one after another. However, those who master the third-level formation ability at the time of foundation-building are still rare and can be counted on one's fingers. Not to mention that Xu Jun only had 12 years to learn the formation.
Niu Xingwu smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, of course I know this is a little unbelievable. But..." He glanced at Yue Zhijing who was standing beside him with a serious expression and said, "Didn't Senior Brother Yue say that Jianzi is a genius in formations and has long been able to set up and crack second-level formations. Now he is only a step away from third-level formations. Maybe this time he will succeed."
Yue Zhijing finally turned his head and glanced at Niu Xingwu indifferently and said, "Junior Brother Niu, I did say these words. However, breaking through from a second-level formation master to the third level is like our foundation building and promotion to the golden elixir level. It also requires chance. Jianzi is now... The accumulation of... is barely enough, but it is hard to say when it can break through the neck. "
Niu Xingwu was stunned, he opened his mouth and laughed: "Haha, it doesn't matter, I can wait, Jianzi is still young and has plenty of time. "
Yue Zhijing nodded slightly and said: "Yes, in fact, according to my idea, Jianzi should do now is to practice swordsmanship with all his heart and soul. As long as he can be promoted to Jindan, it will be much easier to master the third-level formation. "
Niu Xingwu and Lei Pei both nodded secretly, but they knew even more how determined their Jianzi's character was. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to change his mind.
On the top of the mountain, Jiandao Xu Jun walked slowly, with more than ten refined formation flags in his hands.
With his sword heart, he had already sensed the various nodes in this mountain.
However, how to use the least formation flags to mobilize the spiritual power of the mountain veins to the greatest extent and construct a third-level formation...
That is really not something that can be achieved by destroying the nodes of a formation diagram.
There are so many factors to consider in order to accomplish all this.
If it is to break the formation, it would be much simpler for Sword Path Xu Jun because of his ability of Sword Heart Clearness. But when it comes to setting up the formation, Sword Heart Clearness does not play such a decisive role.
Therefore, he needs to perform various calculations and fine-tuning to achieve his goal.
After walking for a while, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a formation flag, and inserted it into a certain node.
Suddenly, all kinds of spiritual power surged, and this formation flag echoed with the previously arranged formation flags, forming a trace of invisible spiritual power surge.
Sword Path Xu Jun nodded slightly, and succeeded again.
So, where is the next step?
