My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

This time, the sect chose the wooden vine talisman, which is relatively difficult to refine.

The disciples of Liehuotang walked up to the platform one by one, and Chu Ci saw Han Feiyu in the crowd.

He was in the first row, still wearing the red Taoist robe he wore that day, sitting steadily in front of the stone table, appearing full of confidence.

With a swish, the screen closed and everyone in the audience waited quietly.

Soon the time was up, and someone stepped forward and began to record: "Guo Ming has one wooden vine talisman and four fireball talismans, a total of five. Liu Tiemin has one wooden vine talisman and three fire bomb talismans, a total of four..."

Chu Ci listened carefully. When it was Han Feiyu's turn, the person on the stage shouted, "Han Feiyu, four wooden vine talismans and seven fire bomb talismans, a total of eleven!"

There was a burst of exclamations from the audience. The success rate was indeed high enough. Even talismans like the Wooden Vine Talisman had a success rate of 40%.

Eight out of ten people on the stage chose the Fireball Talisman as the second type of talisman. This should be the most commonly practiced one among the disciples.

As he was reading, he came across Gongsun Tao's name, and Chu Ci suddenly remembered that this was the man who was competing with Han Feiyu for the position of disciple.

"Gongsun Tao, five wood vine talismans and six fire bomb talismans, a total of eleven."

The people below were amazed again. This man's wooden vine talisman actually had a half success rate.

Although his total number is the same as Han Feiyu's, the Wooden Vine Talisman is obviously more difficult than the Fire Bomb Talisman, so his ranking must be higher than Han Feiyu's.

Chu Ci also felt a little sorry for Han Feiyu. He noticed that when Gongsun Tao's results were announced, Han Feiyu's face looked a little ugly.

Soon the second round began. The people from Bishuitang walked onto the stone platform. Chen Yun was among them. Her performance was quite good, with three wooden vine talismans and seven water arrow talismans.

According to Chu Ci's observation, if the total number of the two types of talismans can reach eight or more, he can basically rank in the top ten in his own hall, and it should not be a problem to enter the top 100 in terms of total score.

After the competitions from all five halls were over, it was the turn of the disciples from the Fenglei Hall. There were only seventeen people from the Fenglei Hall, ten men and seven women, and all of them were above the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

These people also had the best results, with an average score of around twelve talismans, and five of them even managed to refine mid-grade talismans.

The crowd below the stage were naturally amazed at this result, but the foundation-building cultivators in the field had already become accustomed to it and their expressions were very calm.

Finally, it was Chu Ci's turn. He had already calculated that as long as he could achieve a success rate of ten cards, he would be able to securely rank among the top 100.

After Chu Ci sat down, he closed the screen, picked up the twenty sheets of talisman paper that the sect had already prepared, and used his spiritual sense to control the golden pen to start making talismans.

He first drew four wooden vine talismans and then six pinball talismans. In order not to be too conspicuous, he deliberately made all of them into low-grade talismans. After placing these ten low-grade talismans, there was still a long time before the stipulated time.

This is because failed talisman paper will spontaneously combust, and if someone finds out that there is no ashes here, they might find it suspicious.

Ashes are not difficult to draw. You can just draw a few of them yourself.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci picked up the low-grade talisman pen given by the sect and started drawing fire bomb talismans on the paper, puff, puff.

As expected, his talisman-making skills had not improved at all, and two of them spontaneously combusted in succession.

But when I got to the third one, wow, it actually worked?

Chu Ci couldn't believe it. He continued, and failed! He continued again, and succeeded!

In the end, the remaining ten pieces of talisman paper were actually refined into three fire bomb talismans.

This result has already reached the sect's requirement of a 30% success rate, and is considered quite impressive in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

He thought about it carefully, wondering if it was because he had been making talismans frequently recently, so he had a certain understanding of the talisman-making techniques and could succeed even without the golden pen.

Perhaps this is how quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously picked up the low-grade talisman pen in his hand and looked at it.

Just as he brought the talisman pen closer to observe it carefully, he suddenly felt something strange about his tattoo. Then, the talisman pen in his hand was sucked into the tattoo, and a flash of light appeared, and it sank into the tattoo.

Chu Ci shuddered. This tattoo actually has this function? At the same time, he felt a warm current coming from his body, which was quite comfortable.

Looking at the tattoo again, he felt that it seemed to have changed a little, but it was not obvious.

Chu Ci used his spiritual sense to summon the golden pen again and observed it carefully. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that the color seemed to be slightly darker than before.

At this moment, a loud voice rang out from outside: "Time is up, start checking the results!"

Chu Ci didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly took back the golden pen, and waved his hand to put the three extra fire bomb talismans he had just refined into the storage bag. There was already ashes on the stone table, and no one would carefully observe whether it was a bag of ten talismans or seven talismans.

Everyone else placed their talisman pens aside, but Chu Ci's talisman pen had just been absorbed.

It doesn’t matter. He still has four talisman pens in his storage ring, which he got from Sun Datou and others. Qi Dazhuang’s talisman pen is the same as his, so Chu Ci took out Qi Dazhuang’s talisman pen and placed it on the table.

At this time, the screen was fully opened and the count had begun outside.

"Wang Qing, zero Wood Vine Talismans, one Fire Bomb Talisman, one in total. Chen Xiaoguang, zero Wood Vine Talismans... um... zero other talismans, zero in total."

The results of the students in the Menial Services Hall were simply dismal, with the most they got being only three.

When the person counting walked up to Chu Ci, he was obviously stunned for a moment, looked carefully for a long time before saying: "Chu Ci, four wood vine talismans, six fire bomb talismans, a total of ten."

The audience was in an uproar.

"What? Did I hear it right? How can a disciple from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall have such a high success rate?"

"Oh my god, there are four wooden vine talismans? It seems that he is only at the third level."

"That's right. This level is rare even among formal disciples."

Various voices are heard everywhere, and no one even pays attention to the performance of those behind.

When Chu Ci walked down from the platform, he was immediately surrounded by a group of errand disciples. Those who knew him and those who didn't came over to chat with him. For a moment, Chu Ci became the focus of the whole audience, and some even started to call him brother.

Everyone asked him how he did it. Chu Ci just said that he usually liked to refine these two kinds of talismans, and he achieved this result because of his extraordinary performance today.

The competition on the stage continued. Disciples from the Foreign Affairs Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall went on stage one after another, but not many people were watching. Everyone seemed to be immersed in Chu Ci's performance just now.

The myth of a loser's counterattack attracts more people's attention.

Some people also said that Chu Ci would become the first talisman maker to emerge from the Mentoring Hall.

As evening approached, the competition ended and the rankings were announced. Chu Ci was ranked 45th, the only person from the Miscellaneous Services Hall on the list.

At the same time, several Jindan stage elders in the stands were also chatting with each other.

"Master, it seems that it was a good idea to let the menial disciples participate in the competition today. We have really discovered a good seedling..."

The first day of the talisman-making competition is over, and the duel will be held tomorrow. Only the top 100 disciples can participate, and the final ranking will be determined based on each person's performance.

After finally getting rid of the chores of disciples surrounding him, Chu Ci returned to the courtyard alone. He couldn't wait to study his golden pen tattoo.
