The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

This kind of competition tests the proficiency in fourth-grade talismans and the cultivator's own mental strength.

When it comes to understanding and drawing a new rune, Xiao Han's talent may be a little worse, but if it comes to basic knowledge and mental strength, she can naturally get the first place.

Since she came to the fairyland and started learning the fourth-grade talismans, the two things she did every day were drawing talismans during the day and meditating at night.

There is no social interaction, no entertainment, and just like the high school students in China, every day I do more and more exercises.

The senior high school students only work hard for one year, but she has been working hard for more than a hundred years.

If she studied so hard, and even though she had devoured the soul twice and her mental power was far higher than that of the cultivators of the same level, she still couldn't get first place, then it would be a joke for her to achieve anything in the art of talismans.

After the five judges finished their inspections, the final results showed that Xiao Han from Yanzhou took first place with nine qualified finished talismans. An elderly-looking male talisman master from Wuzhou took second place with seven finished talismans, and a middle-aged female talisman master from Qingzhou took third place with six finished talismans.

Among the remaining ten people, seven successfully drew five talismans, two drew four talismans, and one drew three talismans.

Wang Xun successfully drew five talismans, while in the large group in the middle, Lan Yue only succeeded in drawing four. With the company of a talisman master from Qingzhou, she managed not to be too embarrassed.

She lowered her head, feeling ashamed. She wasn't really passionate about the Dao of Talismans, she was just following the rules and wasn't very proactive.

As a result, after today's competition, she felt very embarrassed.

The last one was the only participating talisman master from Yunzhou.

Angry that Yunzhou's President Geng had previously agreed with the Wuzhou referee, Jiuhua deliberately shouted, "There was only one person from Yunzhou competing, and he was the last one, only successfully drawing three. This is truly the disadvantage of having so few participants."

He was openly speaking up for Yunzhou, but in reality he was mocking their fourth-grade talisman master as the worst, which really annoyed President Geng.

He snorted, "This kind of competition can't fully demonstrate talent in the art of talismans. If we were to take out a brand new rune and try to understand and draw it, whoever can complete it first would be truly amazing. That would be the future Master of the Art of Talismans, the Grandmaster candidate."

However, what he said was equivalent to saying nothing. A fourth-grade rune master was limited by his cultivation level and could not learn fifth-grade runes. Everyone must have learned the runes that were classified as fourth-grade. What new runes could he use to test his talent on the spot?

But Jiuhua suddenly laughed and said, "I actually have a new rune that can be understood and drawn by a fourth-grade rune master."

Everyone thought he had collected a new rune that had never appeared in the fairy world, and they all looked at him with burning eyes.

President Yu even sent a direct message: "Jiuhua, if there are new runes, we should sell them to the Fu Dao Leagues in the other four states first, and then make them public."

President Yu likes Jiuhua to contribute new runes to Yanzhou's Fu Dao League, but that doesn't mean he wants the Fu Dao Leagues in the other four continents to get them for free.

Jiuhua glanced at his guild leader, signaling him to calm down before continuing, "Everyone knows about the seventh-grade Small Teleportation Talisman, right? Since it's called the Small Teleportation Talisman, there must be a Large Teleportation Talisman with an even longer range."

Many talisman masters nodded in agreement at this statement, but unfortunately, no one knew when the rune for the Great Teleportation Talisman would appear. That rune would probably be an eighth-grade rune.

Jiuhua continued, "So I thought, could I create a large teleportation talisman based on the small teleportation talisman? However, I didn't create the large teleportation talisman, but I did create a small teleportation talisman with a shorter transmission distance than the small teleportation talisman, which is almost in the category of a fourth-grade rune."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

There has never been a shortage of geniuses in this world, but runes are one of the means to concretely manifest the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

If one does not have a particularly profound understanding of the Dao of Runes and a certain degree of comprehension of the power of the laws of heaven and earth, it would be impossible to create a completely new rune.

Young Master Jiuhua seems to be only a seventh-rank master of talismans, not even a grandmaster, right?

President Yu of the Yanzhou Talisman Alliance suddenly stood up and laughed heartily, "Our Yanzhou Talisman Alliance is truly full of talented people. To have created a brand new rune, one is fully qualified to become a Talisman Grandmaster. Hahahaha."

Although Jiuhua was arrogant, he wasn't the type to seek fame. He quickly waved his hand and said, "President, this rune of mine is simply derived from the Small Teleportation Talisman. I've weakened its power and lowered its grade a lot. It can't be considered a completely new rune."

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief. As they said, creating a brand new rune is not so easy.

However, having said that, the talent of this Jiuhua Master in the art of talismans is undoubtedly high. Given time, he will inevitably be known as a master of the art of talismans.

President Yu then realized that he was too happy too early and sat down awkwardly.

Chairman Geng, who was standing nearby, immediately teased, "The Yanzhou Fu Dao League is truly exceptional. They've reduced the power of a single rune, and they're hoping to become a Grandmaster with just that. Tsk tsk."

President Yu glanced at President Geng and said, "The Yunzhou Talisman Alliance's Talisman Masters are presumably quite skilled. It doesn't matter. The Talisman Masters' competition will be held in two days. Whether they're pheasants or phoenixes will be clear then. I just don't know if the Yunzhou Talisman Masters have any abilities superior to castrating runes."

Master Yunzhou Fudao's heart began to beat fast when he heard the two presidents arguing.

Their president made it sound so easy, as if reducing the power of a rune, reducing its power, and downgrading its grade were a piece of cake. But in reality, how many new runes with castration had been released over the years? Even President Geng, a master of runes, hadn't even managed to castrate a single suitable rune.

Do they have a chance of winning against Jiuhua, this monster?

Jiuhua in the center of the platform was still talking.

"The Small Teleportation Talisman could instantly teleport a person a thousand miles away. This Small Teleportation Talisman can only teleport a person to a distance of one or two hundred miles. Although the effect has been greatly weakened, the quality of the materials required to carry the rune has also decreased significantly. As a result, a fourth-grade talisman master can draw it, and many low-level cultivators can also afford to purchase it. Therefore, its use is still very significant."

The small teleportation talisman is a random teleportation talisman. After using it, the person suddenly disappears, which looks like teleportation, but it is actually a completely different concept from teleportation.

When it comes to teleportation, it involves the concept of space. Whether it is a teleportation talisman or a teleportation array, it is equivalent to spatial displacement. A person disappears from his original place and then appears in another place.

The monk's teleportation skill is actually just an extreme form of speed. Simply put, it's running so fast, beyond the sight of the eye, that it appears to disappear in an instant. But in reality, it still leaves a trace.

President Geng was dissatisfied with Jiuhua who was talking freely, "So, what exactly do you want to do by showing this castrated little teleportation rune?"
