The most impressive was still a cultivator from 30,000 years ago. At the age of twenty-five, he became a seventh-rank talisman master, which shocked the entire Cangwu realm at the time.

Subsequently, the vestiges of the boundary energy dissipated, and spiritual energy dwindled. This record has since become a relic of history.

Since people said Lin Qi could do… anything, it sounded like a fairy tale. Naturally, no one took it seriously and just dismissed it as an exaggeration or rumor.

And the Qiyun Tower's assessment will only broadcast the situation of entering the tower, and it won't reveal the disciples' assessment scene or specific ranks.

Lin Qi traversed the levels one by one, and everyone only thought that her talisman-making skills were not low, and her talent was also quite outstanding.

But just how outstanding it is remains to be seen.

So, elders from other sects couldn't help but grumble a bit.

Huizaw Daojun's expression was calm and composed. He dealt with things without being flustered, "A master can lead you to the door, but your cultivation depends on yourself. Lin Qi has achieved what she has through her own efforts. She doesn't want to reveal her abilities, so who can say anything? She can't go around proclaiming everything she has learned, can she?"

Moreover, whose child doesn't have two hidden talents?

She glanced at the person who had asked the question, then withdrew her gaze with indifference.

It seems like you're silently criticizing. If your household doesn't have it, that's your problem. What do you mean by questioning me about it?

Other elders immediately stepped forward to smooth things over, and some also took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, trying to find out more.

And with the continuous appearance of other assessment notices, discussions arose among the people, and the entire hall buzzed like a marketplace.

When Lin Qi ascended to the seventh level, he found that a cultivator was already waiting there.

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow slightly.

The waiting monks were dressed in simple black and white robes, a typical Daoist outfit. They held a whisk in their hand and their eyes and brows radiated coldness.

A mere, inadvertent glance held a bone-chilling coldness, as if it could freeze one's very soul.

Without psychic detection, one would almost think this person was an ice sculpture.

Lin Qi avoided her gaze and stepped into the assessment area.

Another black and white figure descended, looking expressionlessly at the two: "Are you two here to participate in the assessment?"

Lin Qi nodded slightly, "Yes."

The woman beside him also coldly replied.

The power of spatial energy on the ground surged, creating a space that separated the two people.

Lin Qi and the female Taoist stood opposite each other, each with a table in front of them. On the table sat a bronze furnace with a burning incense stick, and beside it was a pile of things that were temporarily unclear.

The black and white figure beside her said emotionlessly, "This assessment is timed to one incense stick. Using the materials on the table, draw three talismans and compete in the assessment."

It's really time-limited.

Lin Qi's face remained calm. The only thing she hadn't expected was that the seventh level assessment turned out to be a competition.

She subconsciously looked up at the woman across from her. The woman's chin was slightly raised, and a hint of arrogance peeked through her cold expression. Her gaze didn't land on Lin Qi for even a moment, as if she hadn't considered her opponent worthy of her attention.

With a sound of the competition beginning.

The barrier above the table rose, and the incense in the censer began to burn automatically. Lin Qi also saw clearly the materials laid out on the table.

Blue blood powder, golden bone sand, and sky-devouring rat hair were used to craft these five semi-finished talisman papers... each containing a different type of spiritual energy.

Lin Qi glanced at the materials and immediately knew what kind of talismans they could be used to refine.

She raised her pen to begin drawing, but her hand suddenly stopped.

I almost forgot, this assessment isn't just about drawing talismans. It also involves a sparring match against the female Taoist practitioner across from you.

Since it's a competition, there will naturally be comparisons. These comparisons would involve aspects like the rank, quality, and effectiveness of the talismans...

Lin Qi pondered for a moment, changing her original plan to draw six-rank talismans and preparing to try drawing seven-rank talismans.

Fortunately, the materials provided at the assessment site were all very valuable. As long as I spend some more time refining and extracting them, I can definitely try making a seventh-grade talisman.

When Lin Qi was in Yunmengze, he spent some time leisurely researching talisman formations. He had also dabbled in seventh-grade talismans and even tried drawing a few interesting ones. He managed to successfully cast one or two of them.

Should we give it a try?

exam

The requirement was to draw three talismans, but there were five talisman papers in front of him. This meant Lin Qi could fail twice.

After two tries, every stroke must be successful!

After pondering the assessment criteria carefully, Lin Qi's heart was filled with anticipation and eagerness to prove herself.

She loves this kind of challenging assessment.

Lin Qi was preparing to draw a seventh-rank Lei Bu Fu (thunder fear talisman) and a seventh-rank Xiang Si Zhu (longing curse). Due to material and time constraints, there was only enough left to draw one sixth-rank talisman.

Among them, the Thunder Fear Talisman is a middle-grade talisman of the seventh rank with strong attack power.

The Love Spell is a first-rank talismans, with average attack and defense, it's a very niche magic.

The Six-Rank Talisman is the top-tier talisman of the Sixth Rank, the Heavenly Thunder Splitting Earth Talisman.

After everything was arranged, Lin Qi took up her pen and began to refine the materials, preparing to paint talismans.

As expected, the first attempt to refine the Seventh-Rank Thunder Fear Talisman failed midway.

Lin Qi wasn't flustered. She took the remaining materials and continued to draw, learning from her first mistake. As she neared completion, she was distracted for a second and failed.

Five sheets of talisman paper, not even a single one was complete before two were ruined.

Three more attempts, and each must be successful!

After experiencing a lot, Lin Qi's mentality is very calm.

For the third time, she successfully drew the Seven-Rank Thunder Fear Talisman.

After the most difficult to draw Seventh Rank Thunder-Intimidation Talisman was completed, Lin Qi with a stroke of his pen brought the remaining Lovesickness Curse and Heaven-Thunder Split Earth Talisman to life. They were finished just as the incense in the burner burned down to its last breath.

The protective barrier around them dissipated, and Lin Qi raised her head to meet the gaze of the female Daoist across from her.

It seems she has just finished drawing the talismans and is now looking up at Lin Qi.

When Lin Qi's gaze fell upon her, the female Daoist retracted her eyes expressionlessly, still exuding a hint of indifference and carelessness.

Lin Qi stared at her face for a moment, vaguely guessing that this person was probably a cultivator from the Central Plains.

Throughout her journey, she has made a name for herself in both the north and south.

While there may be those among her peers who surpass her in talent, they are certainly few and far between. Those who would so lightly dismiss her... are either those consumed by extreme pride and arrogance, or those cultivators hailing from Zhongzhou.

This person before me, seems like the latter.

The trial is over, and the black and white shadowy examiners step forward to check the situation of the talismans crafted by the two.

Lin Qi, a disciple of the Nanzhou Tianyi Sect, is proficient in the Seventh Rank Leibu Fu, Seventh Rank Xiangsi Curse, and Heavenly Thunder Splitting Earth Talisman.

"The Frost of Zhongzhou, the seventh-rank Lei Bu Fu, the seventh-rank Huan Sha Fu, and the Tianjian Lie Di Fu."

You and Fusui looked at each other in astonishment.

It's not just because the two of them refined the same talisman, but also because the three talismans they refined were all of the same rank.

The Illusionary Sand Talisman is also a niche talisman, a seventh-rank initial-level talisman. The Heaven Sword Cleave Earth Talisman and the Heavenly Thunder Cleave Earth Talisman are also among the top three sixth-rank talismans.

This not only shows that the two people are destined to meet, but also indicates that their talisman-making skills are very similar.

Fu Shuang's astonishment far exceeded Lin Qi's, for while Lin Qi didn't understand the significance of a seventh-rank talisman master, Fu Shuang was well aware.

After the shock, she cast aside her previous arrogance and complacency, her attitude becoming much more serious.

If the ranks of talismans crafted by two individuals are the same, then only the quality of the talismans can be checked.
