Chapter 1047 Dark Circles

Nine Talisman Sect.

The Nine Talisman Sect is the largest talisman cultivating sect in the world, but since the most important thing in Talisman Cultivation is tranquility, the slightest interference will lead to failure in drawing the talisman. The Nine Talisman Sect deliberately purchased a large number of barren mountains, including hundreds of peaks.

There are only twenty or thirty disciples practicing on each mountain peak, so it is extremely quiet.

Occasionally, a disciple falls into a coma due to an accident or is seriously injured, or dies during cultivation, only to be discovered many years later.

However, the tranquility of the Nine Talisman Sect was suddenly broken a few months ago.

The Nine Talisman Sect gave up the leisurely way of spreading branches and leaves, and found a puppet cultivator to design a new city in an open space outside the mountain. All middle-grade and low-grade disciples would move here.

The streets of the new city are similar to those of ordinary cities, except that the independent courtyards of each building are larger and more spacious, that's all.

However, each courtyard is covered with mute notes to isolate outside sounds.

Rouzhaozi Street, in the courtyard numbered seven, the inner door is wide open.

Xu Zishan, with a pale complexion, walked out, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the sky where the sun was shining directly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

As he walked, he shook his wrists and neck.

On his body, ten palm-sized talisman bags were strung together and slung over his shoulders.

Ten bags hold thousands of talismans.

He walked out of the courtyard gate, and within a few steps, he heard someone behind him panting: "Senior Brother Xu, wait a minute."

Xu Zishan turned around and saw a middle-aged man with two water patterns embroidered on the left chest of his clothes speeding towards him.

Xu Zishan looked down at the three water lines on his chest and sighed in his heart.

Practicing a path is indeed cruel.

The person who walked towards me was called Meng Lan. When he first entered the profession, he was promoted earlier than himself, so he called each of his senior brothers.

Who would have known that in just a few months, I would be far ahead of him, and I would have to change my clothes soon.

He looked at Meng Lan's familiar face and couldn't help but think of what happened a few months ago.

The leader suddenly summoned all the disciples, breaking the tranquility of the Nine Talisman Sect.

Thousands of Nine Talisman Sect disciples were driven down the mountain and entered the Nine Talisman City.

Xu Zishan, who was only in the eighth level at that time, like everyone else, although he was irritated and angry, he still followed the steward's arrangements like a marionette and came to this house.

The steward threw down a few books and turned to leave.

Xu Zishan still remembers the loneliness and panic he felt at that time.

Originally there was an independent courtyard in the mountains, and it was served by many people. It only needed to concentrate on making talismans, and there was no need to worry about anything.

But now, the sect has announced that the previous treatment is no longer available, everyone can only live in this kind of three-entry courtyard, all food is distributed uniformly by people, and everyone is only assigned one follower.

He walked into the room in fear and looked at the sacred books in the palm door.

Before driving the disciples down the mountain, the master boasted so eloquently that his spittle would spray into the faces of the disciples in the front row.

Everyone had never seen the leader with such an expression. They vaguely felt that the leader had changed. He was less like the leader of a faction and more like some kind of... businessman.

But his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he walked to the talisman table and sat down quietly.

After sitting there for a long time, until the sun set in the west and the afterglow in the house dissipated, Xu Zishan sighed, picked up the so-called sacred book, and slowly read through it.

At first, he was disgusted because the tone of the book was too loud, even bigger than the legendary Zhenpai Book.

But after turning three pages, Xu Zishan was confused.

What kind of book is this? It’s so profound that I can almost understand it.

Moreover, what he said was extremely correct and pointed directly to the great road. It was far deeper and more precise than what he had understood before.

In fact, it is more thorough than the previous teachings and even the headmaster's teachings.

He continued to look down, and then he lost control.

He frantically read all the talisman books, and without thinking, he directly vowed to practice.

The next day, promoted to seventh rank!

When he was changing his seventh-grade clothes, Meng Lan happened to see him, and then, Meng Lan immediately changed his name to senior brother.

However, the smile of being promoted to seventh rank only lasted for half a day.

In the afternoon, the sect assigned an arduous task, which was not to make talismans, but to make crazy talismans.

All spiritual talismans will be sold to the River Guard Army and Wanhe Chamber of Commerce at cost price.

Wanhe Chamber of Commerce will use these books to buy out all the spiritual talismans of the Nine Talisman Sect in the next five years.

As a monk, Xu Zishan knew very well that with just those few talisman books, let alone five years' worth of talismans, he could even buy ten Nine Talisman Sects.

Afterwards, he asked around and was satisfied when he heard that there were no strings attached.

Not only him, but all the Nine Talisman Sect disciples felt that they had made a profit.

It wasn't until the lucky day a month later that Xu Zishan felt something was wrong.

All the disciples, like the long-term workers, carried talisman bags, lined up, and sent the talismans to the warehouse in categories.

Moreover, the disciples of Jiufu Sect discovered that there were many strangers in Jiufu City.

They are all various talisman cultivating sects and talisman cultivating casual cultivators.

The leader didn't know what method he used to place more than half of the human race's talisman cultivation disciples in the Nine Talisman City.

Of course, he later found out that the leader was holding the Talisman Cultivation Book in one hand and a stack of banknotes in the other.

No talisman can do without these two things.

Another month later, when the magic talisman was handed over for the second time, there were many strangers in the city, mostly children and young people.

After asking, he found out that these people were all talented in Dharma cultivation and had some interest or perception in spiritual talismans.

Then, he was shocked by the number he heard, eight thousand, which was more than the original Nine Talisman Sect disciples.

Moreover, it will continue to increase in the future.

After that, every month, Xu Zishan handed over a new batch of talismans.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the day of cross-trading.

"Senior Brother Xu, it's time for you to change your clothes, right?" Meng Lan said with a smile.

The two looked at each other, they had the same pale skin and the same slightly dark circles under their eyes.

Xu Zishan nodded and said: "I will change it today."

An unconcealable embarrassment flashed across Meng Lan's face, then she raised her hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Xu, you are the first among our batch to be promoted to the sixth rank."

Xu Zishan shook his head and said: "Our group is only average. The best people who entered the mountain in the same year are either sixth grade or fifth grade. Now, there should be fourth grade ones."

"Yes, the Spiritual Talisman Book has completely changed our Nine Talisman Sect. When these five years pass, our Nine Talisman Sect will definitely be the largest sect in Taoism!" Meng Lan said.

"Do you think our sect has divine books, but other sects don't?"

"You mean, the legends about Duke Xian are all true? It's unlikely, right?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but now that I've seen the changes in Nine Talisman City, I have to believe it even if I don't believe it."

The two chatted while walking, and disciples gradually joined the team.

Everyone is the same, they are physically strong, but their complexions are pale and their steps are sluggish, but they have enough magic power in their bodies.

Everyone has dark circles under their eyes.

There is no way, the people from the sect are pushing too hard.

After everyone walked a few steps, Meng Lan suddenly said in surprise: "Look, the disciples in the first month have actually started to make talismans."

Everyone looked over and saw a group of disciples approaching slowly. Nearly half of them looked like children, and the oldest one was no more than twenty.
