He began to attain enlightenment from the Demonic Sect.

Chapter 36 Borrowing Things

"laugh……"

The fourth Ember Blaze Talisman failed again, turning into ashes.

Du Jianyuan's expression remained unchanged. He took out a mid-grade Rejuvenation Pill and swallowed it, quickly restoring the mana he had consumed.

The mid-grade talisman master next to him has already drawn three Ember Blaze Talismans, failing only once. He is currently recuperating and has not taken any pills to recover.

Noticing that Du Jianyuan had failed four times in a row, the mid-grade talisman master sneered inwardly.

"So what if Dao Hui is high-ranking? To think he can increase the success rate of talisman completion in a short time is nothing but wishful thinking!"

He spent a full ten years drawing the [Embers Spreading Wilderness Talisman] to ensure a 70% success rate now.

After that, he stopped observing Du Jianyuan and focused on regulating his breathing.

As long as he can draw the seven talismans safely and steadily, the position of head of the Xinzi workshop will be his!

Feng Kan also noticed that Du Jianyuan had failed four times, and couldn't help but laugh:

"Junior Sister Shen, it seems that Master Du is no longer destined for the position of head servant."

"No need for Senior Brother Feng to worry about it."

Shen Suxian replied expressionlessly, but in her heart she was already thinking about how to transfer Du Jianyuan over.

If the other party is allowed to continue staying in the Gengzi Workshop, given Ling Yue's temperament, she will eventually exploit him to the point of exhaustion and torture Du Jianyuan to death.

"It's just a pity... After all, with Du Fushi's wisdom, if he hadn't been in such a hurry, he might have been able to draw six or seven Embers Spreading Talismans."

Feng Kan smiled sarcastically. Now that things had come to this, he basically believed that Du Jianyuan would not become the leader.

After all, among all the mid-grade talisman masters present, none of them could draw six extremely difficult mid-grade talismans in a row after failing four times in a row.

Only the geniuses of the inner sect can truly achieve this.

Shen Suxian ignored him and whispered to Ling Yue beside her:

"Senior sister..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Ling Yue already knew what she was going to do, and said with a smile:

"Fine, fine, you can have him... but I have to make this clear beforehand: if I sense even a trace of hatred in him, I will strangle him without hesitation, and no amount of pleading will help."

Upon hearing this, Shen Suxian finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:

"Don't worry, senior sister. He's not stupid. I'll keep a close eye on him."

"Just remember, I am the one closest to you."

Ling Yue wasn't worried about Du Jianyuan's hatred towards her; she just didn't want things to get ugly with Shen Suxian, which is why she made concessions at every turn.

After all, her elder brother had repeatedly instructed her that this was the only bloodline left on her mother's side, and she had to do everything she could to preserve it.

……

After finally succeeding on his fifth attempt at drawing the [Embers Spreading Like Wildfire] talisman, a smile finally appeared on Du Jianyuan's face.

"I've found the trick... Just draw two more, gradually improving their quality, and I'll be able to draw high-grade talismans."

The first four failures were merely his attempt to find a way to draw a superior version of the Ember Blaze Talisman.

Otherwise, he would have been able to draw the talisman on the second one.

Du Jianyuan composed himself and continued drawing talismans.

The sixth attempt was successful.

On the seventh attempt, it was successful.

"call!"

Du Jianyuan gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, took out another mid-grade Rejuvenation Pill and swallowed it, then sat cross-legged on the ground and silently began to cultivate.

Two days have passed.

Other mid-level talisman masters had no choice but to bite the bullet and start drawing talismans.

"laugh……"

Various subtle sounds of failure rang out one after another, and black smoke curled up, but Feng Kan was not surprised at all.

Anyway, his men have already drawn seven talismans, and now there is one last chance.

If this last talisman is successfully completed, the position of head of the Xin-character workshop will be a sure thing.

"Have they really given up?"

After seeing Du Jianyuan draw three talismans and then sit cross-legged to cultivate for two days, Feng Kan couldn't help but jokingly remark:

"It seems that even Master Du has resigned himself to his fate."

"However, Master Du is also extremely talented in talismans, able to draw three in one go... Give him a little more time, and a success rate of 60-70% is definitely achievable."

Feng Shuyao also looked regretful, then glanced enviously at Shen Suxian and chuckled:

"Senior Sister Shen truly has keen insight. If you can really bring Master Du under your wing, your Gui-character workshop's income will be higher in the future."

Shen Suxian could easily see through her provocation, so she snorted coldly and ignored her.

Wen Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly. Under his divine sense, no one's every move could escape his eyes.

He could see clearly every stroke Du Jianyuan had made these past few days.

They even understand what the other party is going to do.

"He is indeed a hard-working person."

Wen Xiao thought to himself that his old friend not only talked about working hard and being cautious, but also praised Du Jianyuan as a hard-working person, just like An Mingjun.

Soon, he noticed that Du Jianyuan had opened his eyes, his aura was at its peak, and he slowly came to him and bowed deeply.

"I would like to borrow a few things from you, sir. I humbly request your permission."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xiao smiled and simply flipped his hand over.

The superior-grade talisman brush, talisman paper, and spirit ink all appeared and floated quietly in front of Du Jianyuan.

Upon seeing this, Du Jianyuan was taken aback, but quickly realized that Wen Xiao had been observing him all along, so he bowed again:

"Thank you, sir!"

Feng Kan had just witnessed his mid-grade talisman master draw the eighth Ember Blaze Talisman, and he immediately felt that victory was within his grasp. He couldn't hide the smile on his face.

But when he saw that the steward hadn't even heard what Du Jianyuan wanted to borrow before taking out the high-grade talisman materials and sending them over, he immediately felt something was wrong.

Du Jianyuan... wants to draw a superior-grade Ember Blaze Talisman!

"S-Sir..."

Feng Kan was anxious to speak up and stop him, but when he saw Wen Xiao glance over, he was so frightened that he swallowed back what he was going to say.

At this moment, Shen Suxian also came to her senses and said in astonishment:

"Did he fail four times in a row before because he was trying to find the trick to drawing high-grade talismans?"

Ling Yue's head slowly turned along with Du Jianyuan's figure. When she saw that he was indeed about to draw a high-grade talisman, she finally couldn't help but say:

"Qian'er, if he fails... I won't give him to you."

"Senior Sister!"

Shen Suxian frowned.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't kill him."

Ling Yue knew what she was worried about, and said with a smile:

"Let's train him for a few years and see. If he truly has the ability to draw high-grade talismans, we'll recruit him as a guest retainer..."

"As for me, at worst I'll become his Daoist partner and repay him double for everything I got from him before."

Although there is only one word difference between a mid-grade talisman master and a high-grade talisman master, their strength is absolutely different!

Moreover, Du Jianyuan is currently only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. If he can draw a high-grade talisman using only Dao Wisdom...

So when he breaks through to the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining, his true essence and magical power will be abundant, and he will definitely be an outstanding high-grade talisman master!
