This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

The Donghua Sect had always been encouraging towards cultivating all kinds of arts, and now that they had seen great results, they naturally praised Zhou Ran highly. Whenever Qi Jiang visited other elders, she would hold her head high, feeling very proud.

The apprentice's achievements belong to the master. Qi Jiang may not be able to teach, but she has the ability to judge people and she will accept them!

Hmm? You said Zhou Ran was discovered by Chu Xue? Then tell me if Chu Xue is Qi Jiang's apprentice!

Can’t Chu Xue accept a disciple on behalf of the master?

In short, Qi Jiang has been showing off a lot recently, even making other sects know that Qi Jiang has accepted a good disciple, the kind of good disciple who can establish his own school in the art of talismans.

The Baihua Sect naturally also got the news, as they already had a marriage relationship. Moreover, the two sects were not far from each other and had daily "business" dealings.

For example, many of the spiritual materials Zhou Ran used to make pills came from the Baihua Sect.

The Baihua Sect knew about it, and Hua Yufei must have known about it too. She was Qi Jiang’s ex-wife, the one mentioned in gossips, and Zhou Ran’s former master’s wife.

This is not accurate. The two did not divorce, they just had a quarrel. Hua Yufei returned to Baihua Sect on her own and was gone for many years.

"Qi Jiang has lived for thousands of years, but he still acts like a child. He has a little disciple, and he still behaves like this... No, I have to meet him." Hua Yufei complained a few words and sent someone to make arrangements.

Half a month later, Zhou Ran received a mission from the sect.

"What? Going to the sect exchange meeting? Why should my disciple go?" Before Zhou Ran could ask any questions, Qi Jiang jumped out.

The main reason was that the sect exchange meeting was hosted by the Baihua Sect, and he felt uncomfortable, as if Hua Yufei was targeting him.

"It's you who's showing off everywhere. The theme of this sect exchange is the art of talismans. Zhou Ran isn't going, so why are you going?" The leader of Donghua Sect said unhappily.

"Hey! If I go, then I...I won't go!" Qi Jiang had already blurted out the words, but he changed his mind when he was about to say them. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away as if a dog was chasing him.

He claimed to be in seclusion.

"He's already reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, why is he still in seclusion? The Spirit Transformation stage?" The sect leader spat rudely.

"If you're afraid of your wife, then so be it. There's nothing shameful about that!"

Zhou Ran rarely saw the sect leader, and he really didn't expect that the sect leader would be such a person, so he stood aside obediently.

The pressure from a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage is quite great.

"Xiao Ran, when you go to Baihua Sect, remember to pay your respects to your master's wife first. She... well! Just be respectful when you go there!" After the sect leader said this, he left without saying anything more.

Master’s wife, is this some kind of demon or monster?

Each one of them is very secretive.

Zhou Ran went to Baihua Sect this time to represent the reputation of Donghua Sect. Because he was really young, the sect leader asked the law enforcement elder to accompany him.

It is called guarding, but it is actually protection.

It's not easy for Donghua Sect to produce a genius in the art of talismans. Don't be fooled by the appearance that everyone in the world of immortal cultivation is friendly and harmonious. There are many things that happen behind the scenes to trip each other up.

Zhou Rancai has just reached the Golden Elixir stage, so he must be protected by someone.

Putting himself in their shoes, the sect leader felt that if an outer sect produced a genius in talismans or alchemy, he would also be tempted.

It doesn't necessarily mean killing, as that would be against the harmony of nature, but it is not impossible to kidnap people to make elixirs or talismans.

Hong Tian, the law enforcement elder of Donghua Sect, was originally known as the number one person below the God Transformation stage. He broke through the God Transformation stage two hundred years ago.

Being protected by a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage, Zhou Ran felt extremely at ease.

Since we are meeting for the first time, I will offer you a dozen fifth-level spirit gathering talismans to please you.

"A fifth-level spirit-gathering talisman? Qi Jiang has really found a good disciple!" Hong Tian looked at the talisman, a rare smile appeared on his serious face, and he gladly accepted it.

He had long heard that the spirit gathering talisman refined by Zhou Ran could replenish spiritual energy instantly, and could replenish 15% of the spiritual energy for those in the Nascent Soul stage, but that was a fourth-level spirit gathering talisman!

A few months ago, Zhou Ran's cultivation level broke through to the late Jindan stage, and his talisman technique was also promoted to the fifth level, but he has not yet gone to the General Affairs Hall for promotion.

Hong Tian also wanted to try the effect of this fifth-level spirit gathering talisman.

But he is full of energy and spiritual power at the moment, so he decided to save it for next time.

After all, the key point of this trip is to protect Zhou Ran's safety.

As if seeing Hong Tian's curiosity, Zhou Ran said, "Uncle Hong, Master has already tested the effect of the fifth-level Spirit Gathering Talisman. It can instantly replenish his spiritual power when his spiritual power is exhausted."

"When did Qi Jiang's spiritual power run out?" Hong Tian knew how to grasp the key points.

"Huh? Master drew the talisman." Zhou Ran said foolishly. Every time he practiced, he would draw the talisman after exhausting all his strength. The effect was particularly good!

Because Qi Jiang was looking for a way to break through the Spirit Transformation Stage, Zhou Ran told her his method truthfully.

In fact, this is not a secret at all. Everyone knows about Zhou Ran’s Fu Dao Lecture School.

However, the wealthy Qi Jiang had never experienced exhaustion before, so after learning this method, he tried it several times, drawing fifth-level talismans until he was exhausted.

He felt that his spiritual power, which had already reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, had loosened again, as if it could be "full" a little more.

So Qi Jiang has been happily brushing fifth-level talismans recently, and Zhou Ran can hardly supply the energy needed to make his fifth-level spirit gathering talismans.

Until... this guy didn't have the spirit of hard struggle in his bones, and the spirit of instantly replenishing spiritual power after being exhausted was too much, so he stopped playing like this.

Hong Tian has known Qi Jiang for thousands of years and understands the temperament of this former prince. If Qi Jiang had not been lazy, he would definitely not have been able to become a god earlier than him.

Zhou Ran had no idea about the grudges and hatreds among his elders. Anyway, he had paid the "protection fee" and now he had to go back to his room to prepare a gift for his "former" master's wife of the Baihua Sect!

Of course, one cannot treat people differently based on their status, so Zhou Ran decided to send a spirit gathering talisman to his master's wife as well!

But he didn't have much stock left. The late Jindan stage was only enough for him to draw two fifth-level talismans. If he wanted to ensure quality and quantity, he could only draw one.

The spiritual energy in this world is abundant, but it is violent. However, after being filtered by the spirit gathering talisman, it becomes a bit like... the osmotic membrane of the technological world?

It's quite interesting. Aura is not created out of thin air, but is filtered and purified.

In addition, there are runes in the spirit gathering array that absorb spiritual energy, which is really difficult to draw.

A few days later, the flying boat arrived at Baihua Sect, and Zhou Ran and his party were personally received by the deputy sect leader of Baihua Sect.

However, this versatile deputy sect leader seemed to have his mind not on Zhou Ran, but on Hong Tian!

It seems like there is some gossip, as if grabbing a handful of melon seeds to eat a bite of the melon of late-life romance.

But it can't show on your face.

Zhou Ran was full of energy and found a Jindan deacon to ask for a meeting with Hua Yufei.

Hua Yufei organized this exchange meeting just for Zhou Ran, so she met with him soon.

After Zhou Ran gave Hua Yufei a dozen fifth-level talismans as usual, she said that Qi Jiang, this bastard, was really lucky.

What bad intentions could a fifth-level talisman master's young apprentice have?

Bad thoughts also need to occupy the mind, okay? Someone like Zhou Ran, who is practicing hard purely, definitely won't have such bad thoughts.
