Hearing someone siding with her, Wang Meixia arrogantly raised her chin and said disdainfully, "I don't think you're even a first-level talisman master. I'm here today to take the second-level talisman master qualification exam! As long as you apologize to me for what happened today, our Wang family will not pursue this matter any further!"

Yes, I advise you to be sensible, kid. Apologize to Miss Wang, and this matter will be over! Otherwise, if Master Ren investigates, no one will be in a good place!

Hmph! The word "apology" doesn't exist in my dictionary. You were the one who provoked me first, so if anyone should apologize, it's you who should apologize to me!

What I didn't expect was that the people from the prestigious Nine Nether Guild were nothing more than this! They're all just petty scoundrels who abuse their power! So let's just disregard this certification!

Even without certification, Gu Lingxi can still buy and sell talismans, and it doesn't affect anything! Why should she put up with this rudeness?

Gu Lingxi turned to leave, just then, several claps came from the back room, clap clap clap...

A brown-haired old man was followed by a man and a woman on his left and right!

Good, young man, you have integrity, I like it very much. However, what you said is not entirely correct. My Nine Nether Guild is spread across the eight divine domains of Yuanzhou Continent, with more than 300 branches and more than 1,000 sub-branches, and tens of thousands of talisman masters. The managers within are also uneven, some good and some bad! Young friend, you can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch of our Nine Nether Guild!

Gu Lingxi didn't recognize the person, but judging from their aura, they must be the person in charge here!

The others were naturally recognized. The man behind the counter's legs went weak. He was doomed.

President, I know I was wrong!

Su Changlan looked annoyed. The guild leader had finally come to inspect the guild, only to witness such a scene from her subordinates! She felt incredibly ashamed. This month's elders' council would inevitably give her another scolding, and the reward of two bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills was gone! Damn it!

Su Changlan took out fifty low-grade spirit stones from her storage bag and threw them at the man behind the counter! Here, this is your monthly salary. Take it and get out of here. Don't ever show your face in the Nine Nether Guild again! Otherwise, this elder will beat you to death!

The man grabbed the spirit stones and slunk away without daring to raise his head. Elder Su was known for his fiery temper! He didn't want to get beaten up again!

Ren Zhouxing hurriedly bowed respectfully to the old man! "President Zhang, I have not authorized anyone to bully others in my name. This Miss Wang is just a nominal disciple of mine, and I am severing my relationship with her!"

Ren Zhouxing wanted nothing more than to strangle this young lady from the Wang family. If it weren't for the fact that the Wang family patriarch had given him so many spirit stones and herbs, why would he have accepted someone of such character as a disciple? She was always using his name to bully others! And the guild leader had caught her red-handed!

Miss Wang, you are no longer my disciple. Next time, please don't use my name to do things that damage my reputation!

Wang Meixia looked indignant. "Master Ren, how could you remove me from the list for the sake of such a greenhorn who doesn't even have a rank? I'm not convinced!"

So, what else do you want? Master Ren was furious!

Unless her rank is higher than mine, I'll willingly be removed from your list! Hmph! She can draw a second-grade talisman today, while this kid isn't even a first-grade one. How could he be higher than her? Unless it's a third-grade one, hehe! Maybe in your next life!

Chairman Zhang stroked his gray beard, also very curious whether such a man of extraordinary integrity could match his arrogance with his strength!

Very well, I have nothing else to do today, so I'll personally supervise the exam! You all have a competition, and I will personally award the winner a certificate, plus an extra reward!

After speaking, he lifted his robe and sat down in the head seat!

Su Changlan is usually in charge of verifying talismans, but seeing that the guild leader is in such high spirits, she didn't want to spoil his fun! She quickly ordered someone to move the table, talisman paper, talisman brushes, and talisman-drawing paints into the hall!

Gu Lingxi saw that the old man was fairly fair and his temperament suited her, so she decided to wait and see.

A contest? Hmph! This young lady of the Wang family has miscalculated! Fine, she'll prove her worth with her strength!

"Let's start with the first-tier fire spirit talisman!" Su Changlan declared.

The quality of a talisman and the level of the talisman master are judged by a comprehensive evaluation of several aspects, including the technique used to draw the talisman, the level of skill, and the quality of the talisman itself.

The two of them finished drawing the first-tier fire spirit talisman almost one after the other!

Su Changlan walked over, picked up the two talismans and examined them carefully. One technique was delicate and steady, while the other was ingenious and exquisite!

The eldest daughter of the Wang family uses a fairly common technique, which is also the one she uses herself. She's never seen this young master's technique before, but the smoothness of the drawing is quite good! The most important thing about a talisman is its final power! If a talisman's final power is mediocre, or it can't be activated, then it's a failure!

By placing the two talismans into the detection shield, the relative power of the two talismans can be determined without activation!

Miss Wang's talisman exploded into a huge fireball inside the spirit shield, which gave it a rating of four stars for power! Out of a total of five stars, four stars is already quite remarkable for most people!

Wang Meixia looked smug!

The moment Gu Lingxi's talisman exploded, a phantom of a firebird appeared, hovering around it. Its power was significantly greater than that of Wang Meixia's talisman!

Su Changlan looked on in astonishment, following him closely. Not bad, to be able to draw a first-order talisman to this level shows that this young master is quite skilled!

The shield shows it as 5-star excellent!

Chairman Zhang nodded in satisfaction. It seems there's something to see!

Ren Zhouxing was extremely excited. He seemed to have seen Gu Lingxi's drawing technique in his master's books. It was an ancient talisman drawing technique that had been passed down to the present day and was now basically lost!

Wang Meixia was still unconvinced. "What's the use of drawing a good first-tier talisman! I can also draw a second-tier one! Show me how you can draw a second-tier one!"

Gu Lingxi sneered; he was the expert at dealing with anyone who dared to defy him!

With a swift stroke of her brush, Gu Lingxi completed her work in one go! This time, Wang Meixia's task was less successful! A quarter of an hour had passed, and she had ruined three paintings!

The last one was finally finished, but as soon as Su Changlan picked it up, it spontaneously combusted!

Enraged, Su Changlan immediately started cursing, "Damn it, do you want to burn me alive?" Fortunately, she had a water-type spiritual root and used a water ball spell to extinguish the raging fire in her hand!

"Alright, no need to compete anymore, this Young Master Ling has already won!" Su Changlan said irritably.

Wang Meixia couldn't accept this result. How could it be? How could some unknown young boy have won against her so easily? I can draw again, Elder Su, please give me another chance!
