"Genius? That's quite a narcissistic name!"
The other person clearly saw her misunderstanding and quickly said,
"Not the 'cai' from genius, but the 'cai' from wealth!"
Jin Bao'er understood and nodded, then turned to leave.
Leaving the young boy sighing in relief! Then he excitedly ran towards the main gate to welcome his senior brother…
In the guest room…
Jin Bao'er observed for a long time. The image of the talisman in her mind looked similar to the one on the wall, only much smaller. Its patterns were extremely complex, and the power it contained was very mysterious.
Despite using her divine sense to penetrate, testing with spiritual energy, and touching it with her pale pink power, the talisman showed no reaction! It was as if it were just an ordinary talisman!
Unconsciously, she had been studying it for half a month! Her only discovery was that this talisman was not something she could use at her current level. It seemed to require reaching a certain realm to activate it.
Recalling the scene that flashed in her mind when she touched the inscription, she became a little lost in thought…
In a deep, dark tunnel, a ragged figure chanted in a low voice. Blood from his body condensed into threads and shot wildly towards the wall. Strangely, all the blood seemed to have a life of its own, actively sticking to the wall, carving out the mysterious and complex talisman, bit by bit, until… his body and soul were simultaneously extinguished!
She guessed that it must have been the senior who left the inscription! As for why the person did this, or what their purpose was, she did not know…
Helpless, she had to temporarily give up exploring the talisman.
That day, during dinner, she finally met that senior brother. He looked honest and ordinary, but his cooking was indeed good. Perhaps it was because she hadn't eaten for many years, but this meal was unexpectedly harmonious!
It also reminded her of her chubby third senior brother, Luo Nan Shan! When she had just been reborn, her third senior brother was constantly worried about her being malnourished. Every time she saw him, he would be holding a pot! She couldn't refuse to eat.
In the blink of an eye, it had been more than ten years since they last met…
She nodded, signaling for the two of them to sit together.
"I can't finish it all anyway, let's eat together!"
Without waiting for them to refuse, she directly waved her hand, controlling a chair to fly over!
Chu Tian Cai was not shy at all. After thanking her, he happily sat down. The honest senior brother next to him, however, was a little reserved. Jin Bao'er didn't say anything. After eating a little, she left! After all, she wasn't familiar with others and didn't need to say much.
That day, Chu Tian Cai actively sought her out, knelt down with a serious expression!
"I want to become your disciple!"
Jin Bao'er was not surprised by his words. The inscription was so powerful, the chosen master would not be a fool. She had been calm yesterday, and Chu Tian Cai must have seen that! She then said calmly,
"Aren't you afraid that I don't know talismans at all? Although the Sect Leader is an artifact refiner, he also has some knowledge of talismans. Why not learn from him?"
Chu Tian Cai shook his head, his expression firm.
"Fairy, you don't know, my master knows a little, but his greatest passion is artifact refining. I've thought about it last night. I want to be a talisman master! Fairy discovered the inscription last night, clearly you understand talismans, and you are not a greedy person…"
He could see these things. Moreover, during this period, the old man's voice in his mind had analyzed the pros and cons for him. The fairy in front of him was definitely a talisman master. What he lacked now was fundamental skills, and the best way was to become her disciple first to learn and understand!
Jin Bao'er didn't care about these small thoughts, but it was truly unexpected that he would come to apprentice. She smiled.
"You are quite smart!"
Chu Tian Cai thought she had agreed and was about to excitedly kowtow, but Jin Bao'er gently waved her hand to help him up. He could only look at her blankly.
"I will teach you, no need to formally apprentice. Talisman masters inherently require talent. I have something to attend to and will be leaving for a while. When I return next time, I will write down some insights for you. In the meantime… focus on reading and practicing calligraphy."
Looking at the young boy in front of her, she mused: As long as he didn't court death, it was unlikely that within a hundred years, the upper realm would experience a surge in talismans, formations, artifact refining, and alchemy again…
Chu Tian Cai was a little bewildered. What did being a talisman master have to do with reading?
Seeing his confusion, Jin Bao'er instantly realized his thoughts and said helplessly,
"Aren't you usually very smart? Talisman masters require patience and meticulousness when crafting talismans. A tiny mistake during the crafting process could turn it into a废纸 (waste paper), or worse, it could become unstable and dangerous! You are young, and the most important thing now is patience!"
Recalling the past, when she was not proficient in making teleportation talismans, after a sect competition, she was pursued by a Nascent Soul elder. When forced to use a teleportation talisman, she couldn't even fix the destination, and was directly teleported thousands of miles away… and was mistaken for a spy!
Chu Tian Cai naturally didn't know what she was thinking, but after hearing these words, his expression became more solemn as he nodded.
Soon, Jin Bao'er left the Artifact Refining Sect! Jin Huang and Tian Shu had not returned, but she could always find them through the contract. For now, it was better for her to go to the trial grounds to investigate.
After all… discounting all impossibilities, the remaining one, however unlikely, must be the truth.
Could the Master of Trials be that person? If so, what about Jin Huang's mother? What exactly happened to him on the Immortal-Demon Battlefield?
All of this seemed to hide a great conspiracy behind it!
The flying boat streaked across the sky, a blue streak accelerating, leaving a beautiful arc in the air.
In the direction she was heading, Qin Wanwan was almost breaking down! In the past three days, almost every day, strangers would come to find her, and all of them were about the same topic…
Jin Bao'er!
Where the hell did she know where she was? She wasn't familiar with that woman either! At the same time, she also learned that Jin Bao'er was now a disciple of the Divine Human Ranking, recognized as the top genius among the rising stars! With boundless prospects!
Thinking of this, Qin Wanwan's expression twisted slightly! Because she had tried her best to become Gong Jue Mi Yin's wife precisely because he was once ranked first on the Divine Human Ranking, a much-admired Heavenly Dao realm genius! Coupled with Gong Jue's identity as the young master of the Gong Jue family…
What woman wouldn't be tempted?
Even though she was decades older than Gong Jue Mi Yin, she was not giving up!
Now, a Jin Bao'er had appeared out of nowhere and reached the top, and she had a feud with her! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If she had known this, she would never have clashed with Jin Bao'er back then.
That was a genius the seven great families were all looking for!
As she was regretting and feeling vexed, she had no choice but to leave the Gong Jue family and check into an inn.
At this moment, she suddenly sensed a faint aura approaching, and her entire body shot up! Her eyes lit up!
Although people occasionally flew by in the sky, she could never mistake that cold and detestable aura!
It was Jin Bao'er! She had finally appeared!
