My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

Compared with ordinary talisman makers, the talisman master has obvious advantages and status. Not only does he have better treatment conditions, but if he encounters problems in the future that need to be solved with the help of the Red Horse Merchant Alliance, this title will undoubtedly bring more convenience to Chu Ci.

After considering this, Chu Ci said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't quite understand what Master Talisman Maker needs to do."

Mr. Song explained, "Since high-level cultivators often practice in seclusion for a long time, once you become a master of talismans in this alliance, the talisman tasks you accept are usually calculated on a ten-year basis. Daoist friends only need to deliver a certain number of finished talismans to our chamber of commerce every ten years. As for the specific type of talismans, it depends on the individual's field of expertise, and the same applies to the quantity."

Chu Ci thought about it for a moment and agreed on the spot: "In that case, I agree to this."

"Okay! Fellow Daoist Chu is really straightforward." At this point, Mr. Song changed the subject and said, "I have another favor to ask. Of course, it is entirely up to you whether you agree to it or not. But after I tell you this, whether you agree or not, please keep it confidential."

Chu Ci was stunned, not knowing what else the other party wanted to say. After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist."

"Before I talk about this, let me introduce myself. My name is Song Henian. As you know, everyone in Huicheng calls me Mr. Song. Don't be fooled by their superficial respect for me. I know that they are not respecting me, but the Chima Merchant Alliance behind me, or our Song family."

Mr. Song paused and continued, "I believe fellow Daoist also knows that there is a Mr. Song in every branch of the Red Horse Merchant Alliance. Although the cultivation of these people is different, they are basically Qi Refining or Foundation Building cultivators, and none of them have particularly high realms." As he spoke, he observed Chu Ci's reaction.

Hearing this, Chu Ci asked, "Logically, the Chima Merchant Alliance is owned by the Song family, and you should have priority in enjoying the resources within the Merchant Alliance. If one or two people have low cultivation due to spiritual root problems, it is understandable, but if everyone's cultivation is not high, this is a bit unreasonable."

Mr. Song smiled helplessly and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you may not know that the current patriarch of our Song family is my ancestor from fifteen generations ago. Our family is large, with hundreds of thousands of people, among whom there are more than 20,000 with spiritual roots. Among these people, if someone's spiritual root quality is outstanding, then he will definitely be cultivated by the family with all his strength. As for people like us who have poor spiritual roots, we can only be arranged to handle trivial matters between various business alliances."

After hearing this, Chu Ci understood a little. Mr. Song was only the lowest member of the Song family, and those Song family members with high-quality spiritual roots were all the focus of the family's training without exception. As the backbone of the family in the future, they would not come to interfere in the management of such trivial daily affairs.

However, the ancestor from fifteen generations ago that Mr. Song mentioned really shocked Chu Ci. You know, as the realm of cultivation continues to improve, the higher the level of the cultivator, the stronger their physical strength will be, and the longer their lifespan will be. Some people can still give birth to offspring at the age of hundreds of years old. According to this logic, the real age of the ancestor should be more than two or three thousand years old.

Mr. Song suddenly stood up when he said this, and respectfully bowed to the portrait hanging in the secret room, then said to Chu Ci: "Fellow Daoist, please look, the one in the portrait is none other than our Song family's ancestor - the Golden Crown Taoist!"

Chu Ci couldn't help but be a little surprised. The person in the painting looked only about 40 years old. If one only judged from his appearance, it was hard to associate him with a thousand-year-old monster. Judging from his age and appearance, the cultivation of this Taoist with a golden crown might have reached the realm of incarnation.

As expected, Mr. Song continued, "Our Song family's ancestor successfully broke through to the early stage of the Spiritualization as early as thirty years ago. The purpose of breaking through this time is to select a successor who meets his requirements."

"Selecting an heir?" Chu Ci couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He wondered what this matter had to do with him.

Mr. Song said: "This successor will be the future head of the Song family and will also be the general manager of the Red Horse Merchant Alliance, so the requirements are very high. The first point is naturally the cultivation and strength, which must reach the Nascent Soul stage. The second point is that he must be able to manage the Red Horse Merchant Alliance. So our ancestor decided to let several candidates take tests, one of which is the competition of subordinates. This competition not only looks at the ability of high-level cultivators, but also takes into account the potential of each candidate's subordinates in a few years, so there will also be competitions between low-level cultivators. In the end, it was decided that three people from each realm would participate in the competition, and the final results would be considered comprehensively."

"So, Mr. Song is planning to let me participate in the Foundation Establishment Cultivator Competition?"

Song Henian said, "Yes, with my cultivation level, although I cannot understand your strength, I can tell from City Lord Qin's attitude that your strength has even surpassed that of an ordinary Jindan cultivator, so I think you can definitely represent our Second Miss in a competition."

"Second Miss? Could she be the daughter of Taoist Golden Crown?"

"No, no, none of the children of Taoist Jinguan have reached the Nascent Soul stage, and they have passed away for many years. Over the years, the Chamber of Commerce has been managed by his great-grandchildren. These four great-grandchildren are all extremely talented in spiritual roots, and two boys and two girls have reached the Nascent Soul stage. Among them, the four countries of Jin, Yan, Zhao, and Zhenwu are all managed by the Second Miss. As the Second Miss's subordinates, we naturally have to help her."

"So fellow Daoist intends to let me help your second young lady win the next round?" Up to now, Chu Ci finally understood what Song Henian meant.

Song Henian said, "That's right! I have the same idea. Our branch has always been managed by the Second Miss. As a subordinate, I naturally have to share her worries. I wonder if you can agree to this."

After Song Henian finished speaking, he looked at Chu Ci with burning eyes.

“This…” Chu Ci lowered his head and said nothing. If he was just fighting against a foundation-building cultivator, he would not be afraid, but on the one hand, he didn’t know whether the competition was dangerous, and on the other hand, he was not sure whether it would be good for him, so he couldn’t make up his mind for a while.

Seeing the hesitation on Chu Ci's face, Song Henian immediately understood his thoughts and said quickly: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chu, the competition of our Song family is just a simple exchange, and the ancestor selects the successor, and it is necessary to consider the overall quality, so Fellow Daoist does not need to have any psychological burden.

If you can help our Second Miss win a game, I will make the decision to give you all the spiritual herbs you need for free! And please think about it, if the Second Miss really takes charge of the Red Horse Merchant Alliance, and you have made great contributions, this is not just an ordinary friendship. I think it will only benefit you, not harm you. "

Chu Ci didn't care much about whether the spiritual herbs were free or not. After all, it wouldn't be difficult for him to exchange them for talismans. However, Song Henian's last two sentences moved Chu Ci quite a bit, so he said:

"In that case, I can give it a try."
