This Master Chen is called Chen Xuanliang, a master of the Greencloud City.

As the most top-notch Charm Magician of the Greencloud City, Chen Xuanliang had spent many years of his life force and vitality on each and every one of them.

He was responsible and strict for those with poor talent in the Dao of Symbol. For those with good talent in the Dao of Symbol, he was undoubtedly a good teacher and a good friend.

"If this old man's temper hasn't changed, he will be beaten to death sooner or later."

Lin Jian shook his head and thought.

This kind of strange thinking, had already been deeply rooted in the Master Chen's eyes. If you did not have talent in the Rune Dao, no matter how high your status was or how strong your cultivation was, he would still look at you as if you were a dog shit, or even completely ignore you. If not for the fact that the Master Chen's own Rune Dao attainment was truly astonishing, based on his attitude, he would have probably disappeared in some corner long ago.

"Yo, isn't this little brother Lin?"

At this time, the Cao Manager also saw him and passionately walked forward to greet him.

"It has been a long time since we last met, the Cao Manager is still as graceful as ever."

Lin Jian retracted his gaze and laughed.

"Haha."

Cao Manager revealed a smile, he shook his head and waved it off, "I can't compare to you young men in the prime of your life!"

The two remained polite for a while, before Cao Manager invited him into the private room.

After they sat down, the servant brewed a pot of tea, and after filling the two of them up, he quietly left the room, leaving the space for Cao Manager and Lin Jian.

"I heard that a few days ago, during the Clear Sky Banquet, little brother Lin showed off his skills and helped the Greencloud City get back on track. He's really a hero with a young man!"

The Cao Manager laughed.

Lin Jian shook his head and said: "I dare not say so. Mysterious Spirit Sect disciple and I can also be considered people of the same age, and barely received three of their moves, which is nothing to brag about.

"Good ambition!" I don't think that day will be too late. "

Cao Manager laughed as he praised, he then picked up his teacup and drank a mouthful of tea, and asked: "I wonder, what is it that little brother Lin wants to buy from me today?"

"Yes."

Lin Jian nodded, and revealed his intentions: "I want three Ephemeral Flowers."

"Ephemeral flower?"

Cao Manager raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised.

This kind of thing, normally, would only be used by special jobs like Alchemists and Charm Magician. He never thought that Lin Jian would actually want to buy it too, and buy three of these at once.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jian saw a trace of strangeness in his eyes and could not help but ask: "Does Cao Manager have any difficult situation?"

Cao Manager laughed bitterly and said: "To be honest, if you had come two hours earlier, there would have been as many Ephemeral Flowers as you want. But now … All of the Ephemeral Flowers in the Chamber of Commerce have been purchased. "

"What?"

After Lin Jian heard this, he was slightly shocked. One must know that a single Ephemeral Flower was worth a total of 800 gold notes. To be able to purchase all of the stocks in Void Merchant Guild, how rich must this be?

A moment later, he thought of a possibility and asked: "Could it be that the Master Chen bought it earlier?"

"That's right, it's him."

The Cao Manager nodded his head and said: "Charm Association and the Alchemist Association have always been the main customers who buy the Ephemeral Spirit Grass, especially the Charm Association, the amount of purchases is especially huge. Because when the Charm Magician is carving talismans, he often needs to use up his life's spirit energy, so the Ephemeral Flower needs to be nourished in time to prevent it from affecting his origin, and today is the day that the Charm Association is purchasing them."

"..." Isn't that too much of a coincidence? "

Lin Jian started laughing bitterly, but on the other side, he was sighing about the pressure of the Charm Association.

Cao Manager rubbed his temples and could not help but laugh bitterly, "We have already signed the order with Charm Association, the money is already in place, I'm afraid it's not good … However, I still have some personal ties with Master Chen, how about I replace you and buy three stalks from him in my own name? "

Lin Jian thought about it, then shook his head and said: "There's no need."

Cao Manager thought that he was not in a rush to get it, but smiled and said: "Since that's the case, then I will not interfere. The next date of purchase is two months from now. If you still need anything at that time, you can come directly to the Chamber of Commerce and find me. I'll give you a 20% discount. "

"Thank you very much."

Lin Jian cupped his fists, and under the warm welcome from the Cao Manager, he turned and took his leave.

Regarding the Twilight Flower, Lin Jian naturally had to get it as soon as possible, but since the Cao Manager had proposed buying it in his own name, he reckoned that it would not work. That Master Chen had a weird personality, in his eyes, Lin Jian who did not have any Inherent Skills in the way of talismans was just a pile of shit, and he himself probably did not have any thoughts of making a deal with that poop.

"However, since I can't buy it with money, why don't I infiltrate the Charm Association and use the association's benefits to obtain the Twilight Flower?"

Lin Jian walked out of the Void Merchant Guild, and his face revealed a slight smile.

One must know that the current him was no longer the with a poor talent. In the Spirit Devouring Method, he just so happens to have a secret technique related to the cultivation of talismans — — Path of Divine Symbol.

With this technique, even if one did not have talent, they would be able to become a powerful Charm Magician. Lin Jian was extremely sure of this.

"It just so happens that after I become the Charm Magician, I'll have a stable source of income. After all, who doesn't know that above the Nine Regions Continent, the three most lucrative professions are also the Charm Magician, alchemist and blacksmith … "

Lin Jian made up his mind and went to Charm Association. He spent a large sum of money to buy over a dozen sets of materials to engrave low grade charms. Then, he returned to Violet Bamboo Pavilion and began to study them in seclusion.

If one wanted to become a Charm Magician, aside from the question of talent, one must have two other qualities.

The first point, was his understanding ability.

The second point was spiritual energy.

When creating a talisman, for example, a sword talisman, Charm Magician needed to first understand the theory behind this sword qi. Through calculation, it would be used to transform the sword qi into runes and used to carve it on a special carrier with spiritual force. Finally, it would need to be used to carve out an array circuit with the trigger mechanism.

The two most important parts of the formation were understanding the sword energy and the formation used to carve the runes.

As long as one's mental strength was strong enough, he would be able to maintain his state of inscription for a long time. And the first point was the most important factor in testing the standards of the majority of Charm Magician.

If you want to create a sword symbol, you have to understand the principles behind the sword qi and then transform it into a rune. If you want to create an Armor Charm, you must understand the Yuan Power of the shield and then convert it into a rune. In short … If you want to create any talismans, you need to fully understand the principles behind those talismans.

And tens of thousands of talismans had tens of thousands of different principles.

Many average talented Charm Magician s, for their entire lives, only knew how to make a few basic talismans.

However, some legendary talisman masters were able to create tens of thousands of different kinds of talismans. The difference between these kinds of talismans was the difference between their comprehension and transformation abilities.

However, this was a gap in their thinking, and it could not be made up for by any external force.

But...

The Path of Divine Symbol within the Spirit Devouring Method, however, had completely walked on a path that was completely different from the traditional Charm Magician.

It uses the Spirit Devouring Method as its foundation, and uses the 'devouring' type method of understanding and conversion.

You want to create a sword token?

Simple, use the Spirit Devouring Method to eat a strand of Sword Qi. The Path of Divine Symbol will help you analyze the principles of the Sword Qi by itself, then turn it into a Rune. If you want to create a Lightning Symbol, then go ahead and devour a bolt of lightning … All in all, you don't need to move your head. You just need to move your mouth.

"If I'm not wrong, the Charm Association's Low-rank Charm Magician Assessment requires me to learn three or more talismans' crafting methods, and to have a success rate of over one fifth …" Lin Jian muttered to himself.

With the Path of Divine Symbol here, Lin Jian didn't even need to understand the principles behind the talismans. He only needed to raise his mental strength, as well as his proficiency in creating talismans, to easily pass the Low-rank Charm Magician examination.

And inside Charm Association, every time he advanced a level, he would receive a very rich promotion reward.

The Ephemeral Flower was within this reward.
