“Oh oh.” Ink Painting nodded.

Cheng Mo glanced left and right, then asked Ink Painting and Si Tu Jian, “Are you still watching?”

Si Tu Jian looked at Ink Painting.

Ink Painting thought for a moment, shook his head, “Let’s go back first. Refining pills isn’t good to watch. We can come back later if we have time.”

“Alright!”

Cheng Mo and Si Tu Jian nodded.

Thus, the three of them turned back home, left Lun Dao Mountain, and returned to the sect.

So-called talisman crafting, simply put, is consuming spiritual power, condensing a spell, and then sealing the spell into a pre-crafted jade talisman.

The assessment started with seventeen-pattern arrays, then eighteen-pattern, and finally nineteen-pattern arrays.

In practice, the situation was complex, changing constantly.

Just like the Lun Array competition, it must have been something from the Qian Dao Sect’s collection.

Talismans have certain cultivation realm limits, but basically don’t require the user to consume much spiritual power.

After returning to the sect, Ink Painting cultivated as usual, broke through bottlenecks, drew arrays, and refined armor.

Ink Painting couldn’t help but curl his lips, muttering in his heart:

“Looking down on me…”

The Daoist robe of the Qian Dao Sect.

In pill refining, the furnace fire rose.

After that came the Lun Array assembly.

But Ink Painting was the opposite.

“It is somewhat similar, but actually quite different.”

During the major competitions, they would let other disciples from the same sect make their move first to exhaust the opponents.

The Lun Jian assembly was held within Lun Dao Mountain, with designated fields.

The difficulty of the assessed arrays was not all nineteen-pattern high-grade arrays.

The elders around the Qian Dao Sect also had smiles on their faces, a restrained yet arrogant demeanor, and exchanged greetings with the crowd.

Because of the involved positions, expectations were naturally high.

These methods were not even as good as the rich tactics used by the demon-hunting senior uncles in Tong Xian City when they hunted demons together, such as luring the enemy deep, attacking from afar, and surrounding and killing.

Ink Painting paid a little more attention.

Ink Painting followed the sound and saw that inside a field isolated and protected by arrays, the disciples of the two sides had already started their match.

Upholding the idea of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, Ink Painting still often came to watch the Lun Jian assembly.

The spiritual cultivator retreated while releasing spells.

The opportunity to win the battle was in the millimeter between, a slight miss would let it pass.

At the same time, Ink Painting also pondered in his heart.

Ink Painting inexplicably thought of the first-grade alchemist in Tong Xian City — Old Mister Feng.

Within the entire Qian Xue state boundary, no disciple did not long to participate in the Lun Jian assembly.

Ink Painting quickly became absorbed in watching.

But it seemed because of the special position of the array, the elders who came to watch were more numerous than those who came for the previous Lun Dan, Lun Qi, and Lun Fu assemblies.

Therefore, among all cultivation categories, Ink Painting’s talisman crafting was the weakest.

No one didn’t hope their own sect would win.

So despite his actual refining level, it was still not worth mentioning — because he couldn’t even swing a second-grade large hammer.

“After all, those who can enter the Qian state sect are either extremely talented, or have extremely good backgrounds, or both. It’s hard to say who is truly good or bad.”

And besides watching the Lun Jian assembly, Ink Painting was not idle in his cultivation.

Although they said they relied on collaboration between disciples of the same sect, in reality, among many sects, the disciples of the same sect were not that “tacit”.

When the Lun Jian assembly truly competed, the situation was very complex.

As he watched, Ink Painting noticed some different things.

This Lun Jian assembly was indeed very exciting.

The demon-hunting masters hunting demons was a true life-and-death struggle, they only talked about practicality and didn’t choose any means.

This kind of five-on-five match was even more complex.

Ink Painting calculated that six years from now, if his cultivation rose to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it was uncertain if he would also have to go to the field and compete with the genius children of a hundred thousand sects.

Cheng Mo naturally didn’t know, and Hao Xuan also shook his head.

Although he was proficient in spells, he walked the path of “ten thousand laws all through”, and was proficient in common low-level spells.

But if they encountered vicious evil cultivators or ferocious demon cultivators later, would they still play like this?

Those evil demon cultivators were like centipede insects, they died but did not stiffen.

Between disciples of the same sect, they were not all of one heart, and there was also competition among them.

Qian Xue state boundary, first in Lun Array assembly?

How was the sect atmosphere.

Ink Painting considered himself not a small-minded person, but he didn’t eat steamed buns, and also wanted to fight for a breath.

And his first method of refining tools was a sword forging method.

Before he could think carefully, Cheng Mo already shouted, “It’s starting, it’s starting! Ink Painting, little senior brother, look quickly!”

He didn’t understand five-grade arrays very well, but Si Tu Jian was very familiar with facilities related to the Lun Jian assembly.

Ink Painting was a little puzzled, “How do they guarantee safety?”

In a blink of an eye, the sky was already dark.

As the Lun Jian assembly neared its end, Ink Painting’s cultivation finally broke through.

The elders around, and some other upper-level cultivators from sects and families, all stood up and congratulated the winning disciples.

He should also not have this kind of idea of underestimating the heroes of the world and being self-conceited!

Ink Painting slowly nodded, calmed his mindset, maintained a humble attitude, and continued to look down.

That Shen family disciple who got first place returned the courtesy respectfully, but his face still carried some arrogance.

Si Tu Jian pointed to the disciples participating in the Lun Jian match in the field, “Before entering the field, each person will have a ‘life talisman’.”

Talismans were what Ink Painting had the least contact with.

Refining tools involved swinging a large hammer, with sparks flying everywhere.

Thus, they were eliminated step by step.

But when he had free time, he would still go to Lun Dao Mountain to watch the Lun Dao assembly.

“The life talisman and the five-grade array are one body. The life talisman will bear the injuries for the disciple. Once the damage exceeds the limit, the life talisman will shatter, and the disciple will be considered defeated.”

At this time, Ink Painting observed and summarized while watching others refine tools, and also improved his own design ideas for refining tools and array diagrams. He gained a lot.

However, the top spot in this Tai A Door’s Lun Qi assembly should be one session higher than Senior Brother Feng, making him Senior Brother Feng’s senior brother.

He quickly shook his head.

“Just this level…” Ink Painting couldn’t help but think in his heart, “Six years from now, I won’t be able to get first place, will I?”

Especially recently, he had exchanged many insights on refining tools with Master Gu, a third-grade Golden Core refining master.

Refining pills helped the world, saving lives and healing injuries.

“Qian Dao Sect!”

But relatively, his vision and pattern in refining tools had improved quite significantly.

Moreover, the “jade talisman” embryos were very expensive.

Ink Painting gently hummed and silently remembered in his heart.

These arrays were all true five-grade arrays, and not just ordinary five-grade arrays.

If you play like this, aren’t you just giving them a chance to counterattack and kill you?

As for who got first place in the end, he didn’t even take a look.

Once the opponent’s spiritual power and physical strength were almost exhausted, these core disciples would make a move and complete “feats” of one against two, or even one against three, harvesting victory, leading other disciples to scramble to spread the word and generating admiration in their hearts.

This was what general refining masters, especially those who meticulously followed the inherited system and norms of refining tools step by step, did not possess.

The Lun Dao assembly was still held as scheduled.

Ink Painting was a little disdainful.

Ben Ming Chang Sheng Fu…

Lun Dan was nothing good to watch.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the Lun Array assembly was the most deserted.

Ink Painting was still, as before, most interested in the Lun Array assembly.

Next was the Lun Fu assembly.

Although he didn’t participate himself, he still wanted to understand it to some extent.

This breath must be fought for sooner or later.

But the disciples’ interest in the first three events was almost exhausted.

A moment of neglect would trigger a series of changes, which were very thrilling and made people’s moods fluctuate.

Although there were few disciples watching the Lun Array assembly.

Almost every disciple’s face was filled with excitement, anticipation, envy, longing, and other emotions.

Thus, the Lun Array assembly ended.

Although truthfully speaking, his refining level was still somewhat different from his pill refining level, he still had some understanding.

Ink Painting didn’t care much.

All of this was the earnest teaching of his master.

Purely in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the majority of spiritual senses were also nineteen-pattern.

Time passed very quickly.

And the one who got first place was a disciple surnamed “Shen”, who although seemed to have outstanding talent, had an isolated and arrogant look, and even somewhat looked down on people.

“Such disciples basically all gather in the ‘four major sects’.”

The tallest rafter in the forest will be the first to rot.

But this was because his spiritual sense was not enough, not because these arrays were difficult.

However, all of this had nothing to do with him.

The “jade talisman” used in talisman crafting, which could seal spells, was itself made by refining tools and arrays.

Ink Painting was also unwilling to buy them.

Naturally, he didn’t care about the Lun Array assembly.

Si Tu Jian then explained to Ink Painting, “These arrays are used to protect the Lun Jian disciples.”

But it must be said that it was indeed better to watch than the previous Lun Dan, Lun Qi, Lun Fu, and so on.

And after watching many disciples draw arrays, Ink Painting also had a rough estimate of the array level of the genius disciples participating in the assembly.

Between disciples, whether they were harmonious on the surface or calculating behind their backs.

Si Tu Jian continued, “The Lun Jian assembly is just sparring, not a true fight to the death for the disciples.”

“At the same time, the five-grade array will be strongly activated, borrowing the power of the void, and will forcefully transmit that disciple out of the Lun Jian field to ensure their safety…”

When Ink Painting arrived at Lun Dao Mountain, he finally realized what the so-called grand event within a grand event meant.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

One should not aim too high, but should stand on solid ground!

Ink Painting was also infected by the atmosphere and couldn’t help but feel excited.

In most situations, they still fought individually.

The purpose of tactics was also mostly to “use more to hit less.”

He was born with a strong spiritual sense but a weak body, and was able to grow up safely thanks to Old Mister Feng’s treatment and care.

However, no matter how you say it, this was something for six years later. There was no rush to consider it now. Let’s see the situation first.

Basically, he watched all the slightly important matches.

The entire Lun Dao Mountain was truly bustling with human voices, and the crowd was like a mountain and a sea.

While the essence of the Lun Jian assembly was still a form of “sparring”.

Ink Painting was watching for the first time and didn’t quite understand many rules.

Dan Qing Door was one of the twelve prominent sects within the Qian Xue state boundary. Most of the disciples within the sect also aspired to refine pills as their lifelong goal.

Ink Painting’s divine sense swept slightly, his gaze shook, and he was somewhat lost in thought.

Ink Painting looked at it and didn’t feel it was very difficult.

Ink Painting sighed.

Above the field, there were still arrays.

Moreover, the next event was the Lun Jian assembly.

Then they would seize the opportunity and use more to hit less.

Although Ink Painting was a spiritual cultivator, his spiritual roots were different, and his spiritual power was weak.

The Lun Dao assembly was at least a grand event held every three years in the Qian Xue state boundary.

Anyway, it was just a bunch of people burning furnaces, talking about pill refining techniques, fire control, skills, control, etc. Finally, they were graded based on various factors such as the time of pill formation, success rate, and quality.

These senior brothers and sisters participating in the Lun Array competition were definitely stronger than himself.

The field had various landscapes, including mountains and water, with complex terrain. It was specially opened up to accommodate disciples in teams of five for Lun Jian matches.

He was a body cultivator and dreamed of participating in the Lun Jian assembly.

Ink Painting’s consciousness swept slightly, his gaze shook, and he was somewhat lost in thought.

Ink Painting furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled, “Why do they need to use a five-grade array here?”

Ink Painting slightly frowned.

The atmosphere of Dan Qing Door felt somewhat similar to Old Mister Feng.

He could only watch and remember as he went along.

With his current familiarity with arrays, he couldn’t quite figure out how disciples were protected under the Lun Jian system.

He stepped over the initial stage and entered the middle stage.

Occasionally, there would also be eighteen-pattern peak arrays.

Letting them sit there and stare blankly at a crowd of disciples below burying their heads in drawing arrays, just watching like that for several hours, was indeed hard to endure.

Ink Painting was not a petty person, but he wouldn’t eat steamed buns and would also fight for a breath.

But among these six “Bing” categories, talisman crafting was the “Bing” among “Bing”, just a little short of falling into the “Ding” level.

To Ink Painting’s surprise, the top three in the Lun Array assembly were all disciples of the “four major sects”.

“Within the entire Qian Xue state boundary, basically only the top direct descendants from a few top families have the qualification to let Ancestor Dong Xu not hesitate to consume his origin and plant a Ben Ming Chang Sheng Fu.”

“Our Si Tu family, although we barely touch the threshold of the five-grade, we still do not have the qualification to plant this kind of ‘Ben Ming Chang Sheng Fu’…”

It shouldn’t be that simple…

While talisman crafting itself was also a category fused with cultivation.

Ink Painting touched his chin, his expression thoughtful.

If he went up to fight, what should he do? What means could he use?

Ink Painting summarized all of this, thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he could also put it to some use.

“But everyone is a Foundation Establishment disciple, with equivalent cultivation, and once they move with full force, no one can truly hold back.”

Ink Painting’s heart inexplicably felt some good feelings.

Moreover, not participating now did not mean not participating in the future.

But the top spot in the Lun Qi assembly was somewhat beyond Ink Painting’s expectation. It didn’t come from the twelve prominent sects or the sects specializing in tool refining within the Qian Xue hundred sects, but from one of the eight major sects, Tai A Door, which had some origins with Tai Xu Door.

“So some old seniors in the Qian Xue state boundary jointly constructed these five-grade void arrays to ensure the safety of the disciples.”

Ink Painting’s heart was inexplicably filled with good feelings.

Ink Painting was slightly surprised, then suddenly realized.

After a night and day of effort, the confusing arrays in Ink Painting’s sea of consciousness were finally thoroughly untied, the bottleneck dissolved, and everything fell into place naturally.

Even the final, final assessment array, which was a nineteen-pattern array that was more esoteric and profound due to its nature — the Acquired Eight Trigram Return Hidden Array.

Ink Painting was slightly startled.

He was currently just “watching the show”.

However, considering that it was a rare opportunity that only came once every three years, Ink Painting indulged a little and would also follow Cheng Mo to watch the Lun Jian matches when he had free time.

This innate ability was absolutely insulation for Ink Painting.

Ink Painting furrowed his brows and thought, then slowly understood.

So, Ink Painting only briefly glanced at the Lun Fu assembly.

As for who got first place in the end, Ink Painting didn’t recognize him very well.

It was that person, who he had held the sect admission order and gone to the door with, but was sanctimoniously evasive, disliking his low spiritual roots and not allowing him to enter the Qian Dao Sect to study.

Or rather, these core disciples, who would directly enter the Dao Court or high-level families in the future, would never be on the front line and face evil demons?

Ink Painting shook his head.

“Then is this ‘life talisman’ somewhat similar to the ‘Ben Ming Chang Sheng Fu’?” Ink Painting asked.

It was a five-grade void array!

A five-grade void array containing spatial power!

If the disciples were proficient in arrays, it would be fine. Ordinary disciples, who only learned general array inheritance, basically couldn’t understand the trick.

Ink Painting shook his head.

But it was a five-grade void array!

The main function of team collaboration was just to “use more to hit less.”

Si Tu Jian sighed.

The Lun Jian assembly was also held in Lun Dao Mountain.

The expectations of most disciples were placed on the Lun Jian assembly, where geniuses gathered from the four major sects, the eight major sects, the twelve prominent sects, and the Qian Xue hundred sects, and ten thousand paths competed.

He was most interested in the Lun Array assembly.

Next was the Lun Fu assembly.

Ink Painting soon became absorbed in watching.

But it seemed because of the special position of the array, the elders who came to watch were not few, more than those who came for the previous Lun Dan, Lun Qi, and Lun Fu assemblies.

Therefore, among all cultivation categories, Ink Painting’s talisman crafting was the weakest.

No one didn’t hope their own sect would win.

So despite his actual refining level, it was still not worth mentioning — because he couldn’t even swing a second-grade large hammer.

In a blink of an eye, the sky was already dark.

As the Lun Jian assembly neared its end, Ink Painting’s cultivation finally broke through.

The elders around, and some other upper-level cultivators from sects and families, all stood up and congratulated the winning disciples.

He should also not have this kind of idea of underestimating the heroes of the world and being self-conceited!

Ink Painting slowly nodded, calmed his mindset, maintained a humble attitude, and continued to look down.

That Shen family disciple who got first place returned the courtesy respectfully, but his face still carried some arrogance.

Si Tu Jian pointed to the disciples participating in the Lun Jian match in the field, “Before entering the field, each person will have one ‘life talisman’.”

He didn’t understand five-grade arrays very well, but Si Tu Jian was very familiar with facilities related to the Lun Jian assembly.

Ink Painting was a little puzzled, “How do they guarantee safety?”

In a blink of an eye, the sky was already dark.

As the Lun Jian assembly neared its end, Ink Painting’s cultivation finally broke through.

Thus, he became a young cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
