My Optimized Immortal Life

Even Zhang Lin, who had only been here for a few months, felt that he had benefited a lot. Xu Lingxin naturally gained even more. Chen Qing pointed out all the mistakes and omissions in her talismans. If Chen Qing hadn't pointed them out, Xu Lingxin wouldn't have known that there were so many loopholes in her talismans. She thought that as long as she could draw the talisman, it would be enough.

At the same time, after Chen Qing pointed out the mistakes in the talismans drawn by Xu Lingxin, Xu Lingxin's suspicion of him had been mostly dispelled. After all, Chen Qing did not take the apprentices away alone like the previous talisman masters.

After pointing out the mistakes in Xu Lingxin's talisman, Chen Qing asked tentatively: "Xu Lingxin, why were you so afraid of me before?"

Xu Lingxin realized that Chen Qing was different from the previous talisman masters and immediately began to trust him. After thinking for a moment, she whispered, "Among the previous talisman-making apprentices, some disappeared while learning talisman-making individually with the talisman master, and some also disappeared while making talismans in their rooms. Although everyone noticed this, no one reported it to the guild, fearing that they would end up like those apprentices."

After a pause, Xu Lingxin continued, "Master Jiang Fu, you've seen that there are thirty-eight rooms here, but only twenty-nine talisman-making apprentices. The missing ones are the missing apprentices. However, every year the guild recruits young men like us from Qiuyue City and the surrounding villages to fill the vacancies. Zhang Lin is the most recent one to arrive."

Zhang Lin on the side also nodded. Although he was a little stupid, he could realize that everyone was afraid of the talisman master, so he was so surprised when he saw Chen Qing.

When Chen Qing heard this, he frowned.

Apprentices disappeared? Some apprentices who had just joined the Talisman Master Association and had little money to spend could also disappear? The robbery cultivators looked down on them. And some of them disappeared while learning talisman making from the Talisman Master. Oh my god, why does this sound like the devil's way?

Chen Qing immediately felt something was wrong. He had fallen into trouble at Zuo Ze's hands once before, so when he thought of something wrong, he immediately thought of the magic path. However, it was also possible that it was not related to the magic path, so he asked again, "Are the missing apprentices male or female?"

"Both men and women." Xu Lingxin replied.

Then it’s not a furnace. Damn it, how the hell did I fall into the circle of evil again?

Chen Qing suddenly felt his eyes go dark. What kind of luck is this? He finally got out of Maple Valley, but now he has to fall into the trap of the devil again?

"Then was the talisman master who took these apprentices away alone or with several people?"

"I saw one when I first arrived, and I heard from others that there were three or four before that."

After Xu Lingxin finished speaking, she realized that she had said too much. She had just met Chen Qing, so how could she tell him so much directly? However, since she had said it all, she could only hope that Chen Qing was a good person.

But Chen Qing doesn't want to be a good guy, otherwise he will die.

After Xu Lingxin finished speaking, Chen Qing immediately realized how bad his current situation was. It was pure bad luck that he met Zuo Ze in Maple Valley before, but Zuo Ze did not recognize that he was Chen Qing, and the poison that had been poisoned in him was also removed by Chen Qing at a great cost, so it was not too bad. But now it is different.

He plunged headfirst into the Talisman Master Association, where he didn't know how many demons had infiltrated. Maybe even Old Qian was a demon. How could he survive in this situation? He was just a casual cultivator!

As for reporting to the Three Islands Alliance?

The Talisman Master Association is a subsidiary of the Three Islands Alliance. There might be some evil spies in the Three Islands Alliance. If he reports it, no matter whether it will be useful or not, he will probably be killed by the evil monks who get to know the news.

The demonic cultivator who was able to sneak into the Three Islands Alliance must be at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he was killed with just one slap.

That's a bit bad.

Chen Qing immediately began to review the cultivators he met when he entered the Talisman Master Association. Among them, the two cultivators with the highest cultivation level were the two Qi-refining Perfected cultivators who were guarding the Wanfa Tower and the Baifu Tower. However, the possibility that these two were cultivators of the Demonic Path was a little low. After all, how could the Demonic Path allow their own Qi-refining Perfected masters to do such a thing as guarding the towers? Apart from these two cultivators, the other guys were at the fifth or sixth level of Qi-refining, which was equivalent to Chen Qing, so they should not be able to see through the facial-changing and breath-concealing technique that he had acquired in the past two years.

Of course, if there is a hidden foundation-building master in this Talisman Master Association, then Chen Qing's breath-hiding technique will be useless. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he will even know what kind of underwear Chen Qing is wearing, not to mention the technique of concealing his breath and changing his face.

So Chen Qing didn't know at the moment whether he was exposed or not. If he was exposed, he would probably have to prepare to run away again.

I just want to find a place where I can practice peacefully and cultivate until I reach perfection in Qi Refining. Is it really that difficult?

Chen Qing couldn't help but cry out in pain.

However, he changed his mind and felt that it would not be a problem if he was exposed. After all, Maple Valley had become a place of evil, and he had not revealed the information that he was from Maple Valley to the people on Autumn Leaf Island. So even if his true identity was revealed, it did not seem to be a big deal.

Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that he could still be saved, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​running away. However, this was only temporary, and he still had to prepare the things for escape in advance.

Seeing Chen Qing's face becoming serious, Xu Lingxin and Zhang Lin also felt something was wrong. It seemed that Master Jiang Fu did not understand the situation in the Fu Master Association.

If he knew what they were thinking, Chen Qing would definitely curse at them.

I just came to this damn Ox and Horse Talisman Master Association today. Who the hell knew that it was related to the magic way? What can I do?

After hearing such exciting news from Xu Lingxin, Chen Qing had no intention of talking to Xu Lingxin and Zhang Lin. He told them not to tell anyone what he had said to him today, and after sending them both away, Chen Qing suppressed his bad thoughts. Xu Lingxin and Zhang Lin saw that Chen Qing, a senior talisman master whom they believed to be a great cultivator, had a serious look on his face, and they realized how big the problems in the Talisman Master Association were. They were also quite nervous. After Chen Qing sent them away, they immediately returned to their rooms.

After suppressing his thoughts, Chen Qing left the Talisman Master Association, preparing to think carefully about how to solve this matter after returning.

……

In a dark room lit only by a candle on a wooden table, Lu Chengpeng sat at the table. His face was pale in the candlelight, and his expression was cold and stiff, like a dead person.

"Qian Yuan has found another top-grade talisman master. Is he trying to divide our power or is it to maintain a balance?"

In the darkness opposite him, a face gradually emerged in the firelight. It was Liu Yanghe.

"Don't worry about him. He won't live for many days. As for the newcomer Jiang Xuming, he's a new face."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Lu Chengpeng said.

"He used a technique to conceal his aura and change his appearance, but it wasn't of a high rank. As for his true identity, he's just a casual talisman master who came here two years ago. While he has some financial resources, it doesn't affect the plan."

There was a bit of dark energy wrapped around Liu Yanghe's face, making him look quite weird and chilling.

"That's fine, but Qian Yuan arranged for him to teach the apprentices who are used as materials. I don't think he will notice anything."

Lu Chengpeng said again.

"Humph, this is your business. Aren't those talisman masters your subordinates?"

Liu Yanghe snorted coldly and said nothing more.

"I don't mind. If he finds it, he can feed it to my zombies."

Lu Chengpeng said disdainfully.

At this time, neither of them took Chen Qing seriously. After all, Chen Qing was just a top-grade talisman master. Even if he could draw a few talismans, what use would that be?
