A few women rolled their eyes, fangirls!
There was no such thing as credit at the Thunderlight Pavilion. Ma Tian'er deducted the contribution from her holy order and then realized that the Wind Cloud Talisman was still in her hand.
Looking outside, she found no one there, and suddenly the little girl blushed. Should she give it to him?
She carefully felt the talisman, and suddenly Ma Tian'er was stunned. She input her essence energy and was immediately taken aback.
How could this be???
Was this really made by her?
It was indeed a Wind Cloud Talisman. Although it was a low-level talisman, it required a cultivator to be at the tenth layer of the Life Mark to create it. This was the first type of talisman she had mastered. As a talisman cultivator, her sensitivity to talismans was probably higher than her sensitivity to her own body. This was almost perfect.
The spell on the Wind Cloud Talisman was even more perfect than the standard talisman.
How could this be?
Ma Tian'er also felt it, especially when comparing it to the few failed talismans she had made later. She quickly found the problem.
In cultivation, the methods are there, but how much you understand and to what extent you understand them depends on yourself. The elders only occasionally clear up doubts, and even the direct disciples have only a bit more opportunity to ask questions. Mostly, it relies on oneself.
Sometimes there is guidance from senior sisters, but to be honest, the level of the senior sisters can only provide limited guidance.
After a long while, Ma Tian'er came out of her deep inspection of the Wind Cloud Talisman. This was probably a stroke of luck, as they say, the first success often brings unexpected gains.
Now she had found the method to create the Wind Cloud Talisman and gained many insights.
Wang Meng, who had obtained the spirit spring, did not leave immediately but went to the task area behind the Thunderlight Hall.
The atmosphere was quite lively, but few were taking tasks; most were just watching.
Basically, all the tasks near the Thunderlight Hall had been taken. They were safe and low in difficulty, though the rewards were low, they were better than nothing.
Within the Holy Hall's sphere of influence, even relatively dangerous secret realms were relatively safe. The greatest enemy of cultivators is other cultivators, and occasionally they might encounter demon cultivators and evil cultivators, but the chances were not high. This was also true for demon and evil cultivators. However, once they stepped out of this range, they would easily encounter demon and evil disciples. Even if you defeated a demonic beast, the things might not be yours, and you might even lose your life. Generally, those below the fifteenth layer of the Life Mark would not leave the Holy Hall's sphere of influence, and more conservative ones would not leave until the twentieth layer.
Among demon and evil cultivators, they were more lethal at the same level. The tasks listed now were either in dangerous places like the Thunder Pool or outside the Holy Hall's range.
A jade tablet emitting a faint glow also indicated the completion status of tasks by each sub-hall, reflecting the strength of each sub-hall from the side.
The Dao Light Hall was undoubtedly at the top, followed by the Immortal Edge Hall and the Spirit Concealment Hall.
The middle three halls were the Flying Phoenix Hall, the Fire Cloud Hall, and the Horizontal Mountain Hall, while the bottom three were the Beast Mastery Hall, the Hundred Herbs Hall, and the Thunderlight Hall.
The Dao Light Hall had many talents, and basically, all excellent cultivators aspired to be there. The Immortal Edge Hall had a solid foundation, and although the Spirit Concealment Hall ranked third, its top strength was probably the strongest.
The Beast Mastery Hall, which focused on taming and using demonic beasts, had very limited tasks. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as having spirit beasts running around everywhere, the Beast Mastery Hall's use of spirit beasts in combat was unparalleled in the Holy Hall. The Hundred Herbs Hall, with its abundant spirit energy, was the main base of the Holy Hall, with a large number of immortal herbs and spirit medicines. The disciples of the Hundred Herbs Hall were welcome wherever they went and would not risk competing for this.
...
The Thunderlight Hall, ... this was once one of the top three sub-halls. In the past, it was renowned for its physical cultivation geniuses, but with the Thunder Ancestor reaching the patriarchal level, the Thunderlight Hall had no choice. Even with physical cultivation techniques, it seemed that the geniuses in physical cultivation had collectively declined.
Among all cultivators, sword cultivators were the strongest. It's not that sword cultivators themselves had many advantages, but the requirements for sword cultivators were lower, making it easier to excel, unlike other types of cultivators who had more objective requirements. For example, physical cultivators could not convert essence energy to strengthen their bodies, or their conversion efficiency was low, making their training twice the effort for half the result.
For example, alchemy cultivators, the understanding of alchemy was something that could only be grasped intuitively and not taught. If you couldn't do it, you just couldn't do it.
The same principle applied to talismans, formations, and weapon forging. For sword cultivators, no matter what, they could start with sword practice, gradually finding the feel and understanding, without too complex sword techniques at the beginning.
Of course, to become an outstanding sword cultivator, one still needed certain abilities, but this would only be discovered much later.
"Damn, this task requires a team. Without a strong sword cultivator and a physical cultivator, what can we do!"
"High risk, low contribution, tsk tsk, the Thunderlight Hall is really no place to stay. I have a friend in the Immortal Edge Hall who helps his seniors and can get a few spirit stones every month. This guy used to be one layer below me, and now he's two layers above me. I want to die!"
A bow cultivator shook his head and said.
"Who would want us? Remember the junior sister I liked in the Beast Mastery Hall? I met her recently, and she brought a spirit beast. Damn, my messenger is still a minor demon. I had no place to put my face. Without her saying anything, I broke up with her directly."
"Ah, who made us have such bad luck. Stop complaining. I plan to start cultivating spirit fields. At least I can harvest some spirit grains and exchange them for contributions, and save up to exchange for spirit stones."
"Forget it. With the essence energy of the Thunderlight Hall, the Hundred Herbs Hall can plant anything anywhere, which is better than us guarding day and night. Damn!"
After Zhao Guang left, the Thunderlight Hall was indeed restless. Already lacking in strength, it was now even more lazy.
It was clear that the four elders of the Thunderlight Hall, except for Zhao Ya, had no background and could not secure more resources for the Thunderlight Hall. Although Zhao Ya was from the Zhao family, the main strength of the Zhao family was in other sub-halls. Sending Zhao Ya here was probably to expand influence, but they found that the Thunderlight Hall was completely beyond help. Resources were limited, and the Zhao family was not foolish.
"Have you heard? If this continues, Elder Zhao might leave too!"
This immediately sparked a flurry of whispers among the disciples.
Elders were also an important resource for a sub-hall. Who wouldn't want a strong backing? If Zhao Ya left, they would have no hope of rising.
Wang Meng, standing nearby, couldn't help but shake his head. Comparing the remaining memories, in the past, he relied on himself, using any means to gain power. Now, it seemed he was relying on others, but a different feeling welled up in his heart. This was the path of a holy cultivator.
Evil cultivators sought to defy heaven alone, but holy cultivators had a different mindset, a broader perspective.
Wang Meng also had some insights. As a member of the Thunderlight Hall, he felt a sense of responsibility, not just being a bystander. He casually walked upstairs.
