Chapter 229 Shocking the crowd
Putting on a black robe and black cloak, Xie Chen came to the Talisman Association.

This time the guard didn't stop him, he showed the token of the talisman maker and went in directly.

Seeing Xie Chen's arrival, Wu Ping hurriedly greeted him into the Talisman Hall, "Why is Mr. Chen coming this time?"

"I'm here to participate in the promotion assessment."

Fu Lao's old words came out.

"What?! It's only been half a month, and the old man has come to participate in the assessment again? Could it be... are you sure that you will hit the second-level talisman master?"

Wu Ping asked uncertainly, with a hint of shock on his face.

It has never been so fast. It will take at least a long time to participate in a promotion assessment. Even if it is relatively easy for a first-level talisman master to become a second-level talisman master, it will take at least several months, usually more than a year, or even After a few years, is it possible that this old gentleman is endowed with extraordinary talent and has accumulated a lot of knowledge?
"No."

Xie Chen shook his head slightly.

"That is?"

"I'm here to participate in the assessment of the third-level talisman maker."

"Wh... what??"

Wu Ping thought he heard it wrong. He is a student of the dean, and he has never heard of anyone who can skip a grade.

Level one to level three, half a month, is this possible?
The people around were attracted when they heard it, and gathered around one after another.

When they understood what had happened, they all looked at Xie Chen in disbelief.

Some were surprised, some had doubts, and most of them didn't believe it. They felt that Xie Chen was sensational, and it was impossible for such a thing to happen.

"This person is bragging, half a month, from level one to level three, how is this possible?"

"That's right, even a genius can't do it."

"Perhaps he is not ordinary?"

"I can't tell. Looking at his outfit, it's obvious that he is pretending to be a ghost and deceiving people."

"This person... seems to be the old gentleman who made the universal inscription symbol before."

"That's right! That old gentleman was dressed like this in that assessment. Judging by Wu Ping's attitude, it must be him!"

……

Some people started discussing, apparently they recognized Xie Chen.

In the past half a month, Xie Chen's reputation has spread like wildfire. First, he passed the assessment in the Talisman Association and became a veritable first-class talisman master. The low-grade spirit weapon sword, and then heard that he made a big fuss in the "Yongfa" gambling house, kidnapped Wang Wei, and then disappeared. Unexpectedly, he appeared in the Talisman Association.

Many people's impression of this mysterious old man named "Chen Xie" is that he mastered the unique talisman-making technique, was extremely wealthy, acted recklessly, dared to attack the young master of the Wang family, and it is said that he seriously injured Wang Wei and woke him up. But he couldn't remember what happened, which made the Wang family furious, and vowed to arrest the murderer and bring Chen Xie back to the Wang family for punishment.

I didn't expect him to dare to show up.

Naturally, Wu Ping had also heard about these things. The mere Wang family was not enough to scare the Talisman Association, but the association was unwilling to offend the Wang family for no reason.

Wu Ping was worried that Chen Xie came to the association to take refuge, but I heard that he came to participate in the talisman making assessment. If he is promoted to the third-level talisman maker as he said, his weight will rise sharply. The talisman maker association will definitely do its best. Maintenance, you know, there are no more than five third-level talisman makers in the entire talisman maker association.

In particular, this old man also mastered the method of making general-purpose inscription symbols. Once he made the third-grade general-purpose inscription symbols, the impact would be huge... Wu Ping dared not imagine.

"Old gentleman, please wait here, I will go to invite Dean Zhou immediately."

Wu Ping didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so he hurriedly asked the vice president Zhou Ziyi to come over.

"En." Xie Chen nodded lightly, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

Everyone in the hall was pointing at Xie Chen, discussing his identity and what he did the other day.

Although Xie Chen is only a first-grade talisman maker now, he is quite famous in the talisman making world. Everyone knows that Hongdu Mansion has a first-grade talisman maker who can make universal inscription talismans.

He even has a certain reputation in the entire Hongdu Mansion, because of that auction, and because he dared to kidnap the young master of the Wang family, many people are asking about his identity.

For a while, the talisman maker "Chen Xie" had a faint tendency to be on the top ranking.

After only a short while, Zhou Ziyi, the vice president, hurried over with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Mister, are you here again?"

Zhou Ziyi saluted Xie Chen.

Xie Chen also stood up to return the gift.

"I heard from Wu Ping that you are here to participate in the promotion assessment this time?"

Xie Chen nodded, "Not bad."

"You... How many levels of talisman masters are you here to attack this time?"

Zhou Ziyi had just heard about it from Wu Ping, but he still didn't believe it, so he insisted on confirming it in person.

"Level three."

Xie Chen's words were still calm.

"hiss……"

Including Zhou Ziyi, everyone gasped.

From the first level to the third level at once, this has never happened in the history of the Hongdu Prefecture Talisman Association.

Shocked but shocked, Zhou Ziyi reacted immediately and said, "Okay, please come with me, old man."

Whether it is bragging or boasting, you will know after the assessment.

Everyone else was also aroused curiosity.

A total of four NO.50 people followed.

All of them are staff members of the association, and there are also talisman makers who happen to be in the association. Most of them are first-level and second-level talisman makers.

This time Zhou Ziyi brought Xie Chen to another assessment room.

This room is larger than the room assessed last time, but it has fewer tables, only six.

Few people from the Talisman Maker Association come to the assessment every year. Unlike the last first-level talisman maker assessment, the first-level talisman maker assessment will be held every once in a while, and you can come to the association at any time after the first level. Assessment, but generally only a few people.

Only Xie Chen came to the assessment today.

This room is exclusively for the second-level talisman master.

Zhou Ziyi still didn't believe that someone could be directly promoted to the third level. To be on the safe side, he asked Xie Chen to make the second-rank inscription symbol first.

"Old sir, please!"

Zhou Ziyi was very polite and made a gesture to indicate that Xie Chen could start.

Outside the room, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him, wanting to see how good Xie Chen's talisman making was.

"I see what he's going to do now. The second-level talisman master is so easy to test, let alone the third-level talisman master! This old guy is too conceited, he is talking nonsense!"

"That's right, if he fails the assessment later, it will be interesting, and he will lose all face, hehe!"

……

Suspicious eyes were on the sidelines.

Seeing that Xie Chen started, everyone held their breath.

"Huh? Why didn't he settle down first, meditate, and meditate?"

The people outside the house noticed that something was wrong. The talisman maker named Chen Xie didn't follow the normal procedure. The sandalwood was already lit, but he didn't sit down to meditate and get rid of distracting thoughts, but directly ground the ink and picked up the brush.

"Hmph, there are distracting thoughts in my head and mood swings, which will definitely be affected when making talismans. Just wait, he will definitely fail!"

Someone sneered.

The others also nodded, "That's right, the process of making talismans does not allow the slightest mistake, so a stable state of mind is very important, like him who does not go through the process of meditation and writes directly, there will definitely be mistakes!"

Even Zhou Ziyi frowned slightly, isn't this old gentleman a bit overbearing...

Xie Chen heard the questioning voices and suspicious eyes around him, and just shook his head slightly.

His spiritual consciousness is so powerful that it is far stronger than ordinary second-level talisman masters. It is a breeze to make second-grade inscription talismans. There is no need to enter meditation in advance, and this link can be completely omitted.

Ordinary people are not firm enough, their minds are not pure enough, and their spiritual consciousness is not strong enough, so they need to light sandalwood, meditate, and help themselves get rid of distracting thoughts, but why do people with a firm heart like Xie Chen need to do so much?
During the grinding process, Xie Chen has already calmed down. Although he has not yet reached the state of entering the talisman-making state with one breath, it only takes a short while.

Zhou Ziyi saw that Xie Chen's movements were steady, his whole body seemed to become quiet in an instant, and he entered a state of ecstasy, and couldn't help being slightly surprised. Could it be that this old gentleman really hides his secrets and has amazing strength?

Xie Chen has completely ignored the outside world, he brought up the pen used for the assessment, swish, swish, swish!Start writing on the talisman paper.

The materials used for the assessment were much worse than the materials he used himself, but they were still above average and would not affect the production of inscription symbols too much.

Xie Chen's pen moves like flying, like a dragon and a snake, swaying wantonly, full of a different kind of beauty.

It seems that he is not making inscription talismans, but displaying calligraphy, elegant and unrestrained, and the talisman pen becomes extremely light in his hand, with ease.

Soon, everyone outside the house was stunned.

They had completely forgotten to speak, and it was the first time they had seen such easy and freehand writing of runes.

The other party is not like conducting a tense, important, and error-free talisman-making assessment, but is performing a beautiful performance, written in letter and pen, extremely smooth.

However, many people have a malicious expectation in their hearts: mistakes!error!

They instinctively don't want to accept that someone can make talismans so easily, it's hardly like talisman making, but like an art.

Even if there is only a little mistake in the process of making the talisman, it may lead to the waste of all previous efforts and fall short, so there is a possibility of failure before the end.

Everyone didn't want to believe that Xie Chen could not make any mistakes while writing so quickly.

However, after a short while, an inscription symbol was written and quietly placed on the wooden table.

After Xie Chen finished writing the last stroke, he took away the pen, the ink fell, and a sheet of inscription symbols full of strange runes was completed, and a bright orange light flashed.

"It's the talisman!"

someone exclaimed.

Fu Guang is a sign that the inscription talisman has reached a certain level, such as first-rank, second-rank, and third-rank, and it will only appear when the potency reaches [-]%, [-]%, and [-]%.

The light of the rune flickered away, but it was not completely restrained like ordinary inscription runes, but an orange light shone on it.

"Special effect rune light!"

If everyone was surprised before, now they are shocked.

"I heard that this person can make universal inscription symbols. As expected, could it be that he made a second-grade universal inscription symbol?"

Someone said in disbelief.

"No! It's two special effect runes!"

The voices of those who spoke were trembling.

Everyone turned their attention to the inscription symbol glowing orange on the table, and sure enough, there was not one but two orange lights!One is greenish, and the other is mixed with blue, which is obviously not a special effect.

hiss……

Everyone gasped, their eyes almost glazed over.

If the second-grade inscription talisman is still acceptable, the second-grade general-purpose inscription talisman is more or less reasonable. After all, Chen Xie once made a first-grade general-purpose inscription talisman, but two types of inscription talisman with special effects are simply unheard of. It has not appeared for many years. ... At least in places like Hongdu Mansion, I haven't heard of it for several years.

Everyone was shocked, deeply immersed in the shock brought by the two orange light special effects.

And the next moment, they all had a common question in their minds, what is this new special effect?
