“I have had the privilege to learn,” Pei Jinye nodded.
Zhong Yumin looked at him, slowly withdrawing his gaze, “Spirit Symbol Ghost Mountain originated from the Western Continent, considered a more esoteric path within the Dao of Talismanic Seals, but quite powerful nonetheless. Let’s see you in action.”
Pei Jinye was straightforward: “Please bestow your guidance, Elder Zhong.”
He formed seals with both hands in a proper manner.
“Firm.”
An invisible force landed in front of Zhong Yumin, and the old man produced a willow branch to tap it, causing a green glow to flash instantly.
The Spirit Symbol Ghost Mountain-Freeze from Pei Jinye was broken in an instant.
A shock ran through the void.
Pei Jinye seemed to take a step back, his face showing admiration, “Before I came here, Mr. Han had said that Elder Zhong’s techniques were exquisite; I am truly impressed.”
“The path of Spirit Symbol Ghost Mountain is said to be tough to traverse, and its inheritance is fragmented. The fact that you can decipher a Talismanic Seal shows your innate talent,” Elder Zhong waved the willow branch in his hand.
A gentle green light fell upon Pei Jinye, who did not dodge.
He immediately felt a wave of relaxation pass through him.
His spiritual power quickly returned to its peak.
“Is this the Wood Element?” Pei Jinye asked in surprise.
“Correct,” Zhong Yumin nodded, “The essence of Spiritual Attachment is essentially to bring out the core power of every object, imparting transcendental abilities to it. You are from the Psychic Class, aren’t you?”
“Yes, Elder Zhong’s insight is like a burning torch,” Pei Jinye felt somewhat eager.
“The Psychic Class practicing the Dao of Talismanic Seals indeed has some innate advantages,” Zhong Yumin said as he took out a Talisman Bead again: “Previously, this was an A level sealed object, but unfortunately, it suffered irreparable damage.”
He took out two yellow papers from the drawer.
Cinnabar landed on them.
An invisible wind spread out.
Pei Jinye distinctly felt an unusually gentle power rest on the papers.
In his mind, a model began to form quietly.
…
Modeling failed…
Modeling failed…
Modeling failed…
In the span of two breaths, over three thousand continuous modeling failures caused Pei Jinye’s forehead to even show a trace of fine sweat.
The 10,211th modeling attempt.
[Modeling successful!]
[Techniques of Force Imprint Expansion…]
A stream of information flooded into his mind.
It was then that Zhong Yumin spoke, “Alright.”
Without changing his expression, Pei Jinye wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Zhong Yumin extended his hand and said, “The power of the seal can only maintain it for twenty blessings. Also, I must warn you, as this sealed object itself is already damaged, frequent use will only accelerate the collapse of its internal structure, and by that time, even my Spiritual Attachment will be of no help.”
Pei Jinye paused, taking the Talisman Bead and inquired, “Elder Zhong, are you saying it won’t last much longer?”
“Unless you can find the same material and have a Forging Master reforge it. Not to mention bringing it back to life, even restoring it to A level is possible,” Zhong Yumin said with a smile: “When that time comes, come find me for Spiritual Attachment, I’ll help you for free.”
Pei Jinye mused, “May I ask Elder Zhong, what is the material of this Talisman Bead?”
“Xuan Stone Fetus,” Zhong Yumin said softly, “This is not a common material. The master who forged the Talisman Bead also found it in a deserted place in the north. If you have a chance in the future, you might want to pay attention to it.”
“Thank you, Elder Zhong,” Pei Jinye thanked him sincerely.
“It’s nothing,” Zhong Yumin waved his hand dismissively.
Although Pei Jinye was somewhat regretful that he had not managed to deduce a powerful Spiritual Attachment technique, he knew the rules well enough not to further disturb the master.
The fact that the master would take time out of his busy schedule for Spiritual Attachment was already due to Mr. Han’s face; there was no need to be annoying.
He got up to take his leave.
The door closed behind him.
Zhong Yumin shook his head and chuckled, “This lad…”
Not long after, Little Horse, who had come to take his leave, showed up; Zhong Yumin suddenly gestured at two books on the table: “Give these to him.”
Little Horse was startled; that book, dealing with Spiritual Attachment and an internal common-use book, would normally not be circulated externally.
“Teacher… is he also a Spiritual Attachment Master?”
“Must one be a master to read it?” Zhong Yumin waved his hand dismissively, “Don’t keep the guest waiting. Off you go, and learn more from Mr. Han; the Ma Family will rely on you in the future.”
“I understand,” Little Horse respectfully took the books from the table and left.
…
When the two books were handed to Pei Jinye, he was somewhat surprised.
“These are from Elder Zhong?”
“It is Elder Zhong’s intention,” Little Horse replied softly.
“Elder Zhong is indeed magnanimous,” Pei Jinye acknowledged.
As they were talking, a well-dressed young man came out of the adjacent courtyard, smiling, “Ma Mingwei, aren’t you at work today?”
“I was, just made a quick trip over here,” Little Horse replied hastily.
“I’ve made reservations for us and Sun Haoran to dine at Big Wild Goose Pagoda; join us, we’re all alumni,” the man came forward, and upon noticing the book in Pei Jinye’s arms, he was slightly startled, “Is this… a new junior?”
“Pei Jinye, nice to meet you,” Pei Jinye smiled, extending his hand.
Thinking of the teacher giving even internal books to Pei Jinye, Ma Mingwei did not say much.
After all, if Pei Jinye truly wanted to become Elder Zhong’s student, it was merely a matter of a word from the elder.
“Wang Hewei, nice to meet you,” the newcomer said with a hearty smile, “Did Elder Zhong give you these books?”
“Yes, I haven’t had the chance to read them yet,” Pei Jinye responded with a genuine smile.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hewei became even more enthusiastic towards Pei Jinye, “I begged Elder Zhong for a long time for that book, but never got it. It was only after I passed the test that Elder Zhong reluctantly lent it to me for a few days… unfortunately, my spiritual power still wasn’t quite sufficient, and my success rate with Spiritual Attachment was too low.”
