After class, Zhao Sheng kept Zhao Xuanjing and Zhao Xuan'an, and the others dispersed.
Turning into the back hall, Zhao Sheng sat behind the talisman table, ignoring the two of them, and slowly drew one first-level talisman after another.
Zhao Xuanjing stood trembling in front of the talisman table, not daring to look up at his uncle's face. Meanwhile, Zhao Xuanan watched closely as Zhao Sheng drew the talisman, his eyes gleaming with joy.
This quiet atmosphere lasted for a full hour.
Just when Zhao Xuanjing was sweating profusely from nervousness, Zhao Xuan'an suddenly spoke.
"Uncle Qi, I understand! You are testing both of us."
After hearing this, Zhao Sheng sighed inwardly and stopped what he was doing.
"Yes, An'er is indeed very perceptive. Take these two things!"
After Zhao Sheng praised him, he took out a book and a scroll and handed it to Zhao Xuan'an.
Zhao Xuanan took it and looked at it with great joy, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "'Taiyi Lingwen Annotation', and what is this? Could it be that it records the technique of overlapping talismans?"
Zhao Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, the white gauze indeed records the technique of stacking talismans. This secret technique of talismans was passed down from the Taiyi Spiritual Realm. It is extremely precious! You must keep it safe and don't let outsiders learn it."
Having said that, Zhao Sheng glanced at Zhao Xuanjing next to him, and saw that he was full of envy, but there was no jealousy on his face.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng nodded secretly, having already made a decision in his heart.
"Okay, get out of here! If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me."
However, Zhao Xuan'an didn't leave. Instead, he smiled and flattered him, "Seventh Uncle, you're a master of talismans. Give me a few to save my life! Hehe, something like the Phantom Escape Talisman would be great. An'er wouldn't mind at all. Three or four will be fine."
"Go away, how many more do you want? Do you think it's so easy to draw a second-level true talisman? Just one, no more."
Zhao Sheng laughed and cursed a few times, then waved his hand and threw a square talisman with a gray surface to Zhao Xuan'an.
"Oh, thank you, Uncle Seven!"
Zhao Xuan'an grabbed the Phantom Escape Talisman, bowed with a playful smile, then turned around and ran, his movements extremely smooth.
Zhao Xuanjing was about to slip out when Zhao Sheng stopped him.
"Xuan Jing, you stay!"
"Seventh Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhao Xuanjing turned around with a bitter face and asked cautiously.
Zhao Sheng shook his head secretly when he saw this and asked, "What level of Qi Refining are you at now?"
"Seventh Uncle, I just broke through to the third level of Qi Refining a few days ago."
"Huh!"
Zhao Sheng was very surprised to hear this. Zhao Xuanjing's cultivation was quite fast.
He broke through to the third level of Qi Refining at the age of sixteen, which was considered an excellent performance even for someone with only three spiritual roots.
Zhao Sheng stood up and walked out from behind the table. As he walked out, he waved to Zhao Xuanjing and said, "Follow me!"
Zhao Xuanjing was very puzzled when he saw this. He thought, "Could it be that Uncle Seven has changed his ways? Why didn't he scold me this time?"
Although he thought so, he did not dare to hesitate and immediately followed Zhao Sheng's pace.
The two of them left the school and walked towards the top of Taiwu Mountain.
Occasionally, some tribesmen met the two along the way and came forward to greet them.
Zhao Sheng nodded in greeting, while Zhao Xuanjing bowed to everyone he met.
There's nothing we can do about it, since he is the youngest!
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the two reached the top of Taiwu Mountain, which is 300 feet high.
When you reach the top of the mountain, the first thing that catches your eye is a thousand-year-old peach tree with lush branches and leaves, twisted and vigorous, and nine feet tall.
This ancient spiritual peach tree, which is close to the third level, has a crown as tall as an umbrella, and the huge shade of three or four acres completely covers the entire mountain.
Under the shade of the ancient peach tree, a two-acre bluestone courtyard surrounds its trunk.
This is the residence of Zhao Jinjian, the only foundation-building cultivator of the Zhao family.
Just like the choices made by other members of the Zhao family who practiced Taoism, Zhao Jinjian lived here not only to protect the spiritual peach tree, but also to take advantage of the rich spiritual environment here to practice.
There are hundreds of acres of peach orchards in Taiwu Mountain, but why are there less than a hundred spiritual peach trees?
The reason is simple, the other peach trees do not grow on the spiritual vein nodes.
When Zhao Sheng entered the yard, he saw Zhao Jinjian in red clothes and silver hair standing under the ancient peach tree, looking up at the treetops.
Following his gaze, Zhao Sheng looked up and saw a number of fluffy, green peaches the size of apricots faintly visible among the lush leaves of the tree canopy.
As soon as Zhao Xuanjing saw Zhao Jinjian, he quickly stepped forward and respectfully saluted, "Jing'er greets the Fourth Ancestor!"
Zhao Sheng also walked over to him.
Zhao Jinjian ignored the two of them.
He looked up at Ling Tao, sighed softly, and said, "Alas, what a pity! Is it worth it?"
Zhao Xuanjing was puzzled, but Zhao Sheng nodded and said, "It's worth it!"
At this moment, Zhao Jinjian turned to look at Zhao Sheng, then glanced at Zhao Xuanjing and asked abruptly, "Have you decided on him?"
Zhao Sheng nodded. "I've observed them both for ten years. Xuan'an is incredibly intelligent and quick-witted, but he's also a bit too fickle and can't stand loneliness. Jing'er isn't as good as him in every way, but she's patient and, more importantly, pure-hearted."
When Zhao Xuanjing heard this, although he was a little confused, he felt that something important was concerning him.
"Seventh Uncle, what are you talking about? Jing'er doesn't understand."
"Don't worry, you'll understand in a few days."
Zhao Sheng comforted him, then said to Zhao Jinjian with a serious expression: "It's troublesome, you can start now!"
Zhao Jinjian also nodded seriously.
The next second, light surged around him, and his body floated off the ground and quickly flew to the top of the ancient peach tree.
Zhao Sheng looked towards the top of the tree and saw a green light shining there, and bursts of rich fragrance emanated from the top of the tree.
Zhao Xuanjing sniffed the fragrance and felt relaxed. The spiritual power in his body became more lively and agile.
A moment later, Zhao Jinjian landed on the ground, holding a branch that was as tall as a person and as thick as his arm.
I saw this peach branch, it was lush and green all over, with clear light shining between the branches and leaves, and the surface of the branch was dotted with green light, and it contained an extremely rich, almost condensed vitality.
"for you!"
Zhao Sheng took the peach branch and carefully placed it into a special spiritual plant bag.
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, three green peaches suddenly fell from the treetops without any warning, and rolled to the feet of the three people.
Zhao Jinjian's face was filled with heartache when he saw this. He immediately picked up the peach and said dejectedly, "I only had eighteen in total, and now there are only fifteen left."
Zhao Sheng comforted him, "Fourth Master, don't feel bad. When we get there, I promise I won't let you down."
"Chonghe, you said that!"
Zhao Jinjian looked at Zhao Sheng seriously. He had been very puzzled a few years ago as to why Zhao Sheng could produce so many rare and precious elixirs.
But he had been holding back and not asking until the other party took the initiative to find him and let him know a little while ago.
Therefore, today's action took place.
Zhao Sheng looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's get going!"
"Don't you need to say hello to Ke Ru? Xuan Jing is his son after all."
"No need, I already informed him. Besides, it's not like Xuan Jing can't come back in the future."
The more Zhao Xuanjing listened to the conversation between his seventh uncle and fourth grandfather, the more confused he became.
He was not a quick-witted person, and his mind was even more confused at this time. He only vaguely realized that he seemed to be leaving Taiwu Mountain and going somewhere, and it would take a long time for him to come back.
"Let's go! Yue Yunzhou's move is almost here. If you're any later, you'll miss it."
After saying this, Zhao Sheng released the wooden kite.
A moment later, a wooden kite carrying two figures flew up quickly and quickly flew away from Taiwu Mountain. A sword light followed closely behind and flew towards the horizon.
