Chapter 1453

Not long after, Fu Yingmin came down from the third floor. She was slightly stunned when she saw Xiao Hua. Then, she came to her senses and looked him up and down with a strange look in her eyes.

"Shopkeeper Fu, do you still remember I?" Xiao Hua stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xiao, please take a seat. It's only been a month since we last met. How could I forget?"

Fu Yingmin smiled and returned the greeting. She walked to a chair and sat down. Then, she looked at Xiao Hua with interest and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, a month ago … you were only in the early fourth layer of the Qi Refining realm. In such a short time, you actually … reached the middle fourth layer of the Qi Refining realm. This cultivation speed really makes me feel ashamed!"

"Shopkeeper Fu is joking!"

Xiao Hua sat down with a smile and said, "This junior just had some good fortune in the past month. This little bit of cultivation … Haha, compared to the seniors, it's really not enough. It's nothing but a joke!"

Shopkeeper Fu didn't ask what kind of good fortune Xiao Hua had. He took a sip of tea and asked, "Then … Fellow Daoist Xiao, why did you come to my shop this time?"

Seeing that Shopkeeper Fu asked directly, Xiao Hua didn't hide it anymore. He smiled and said, "This junior did get some benefits during this time, but after thinking about it, being a loose cultivator is really difficult. I lack cultivation methods and medicinal pills. Moreover, I don't have any seniors to guide me. Therefore, I feel that what Shopkeeper Fu said last time is reasonable. Therefore … I want to join the Fu Clan … to practice the art of making talismans and become a talisman master!"

"Haha, it's rare that Fellow Daoist Xiao can understand. This old man is very gratified!"

Shopkeeper Fu obviously understood the purpose of Xiao Hua's visit. He didn't seem surprised and said with a smile, "However, in the past month, many loose cultivators have come to this old man's shop. Their aptitudes are also very good. Fellow Daoist Xiao, you've come a little late!"

"Ah?

It can't be. Shopkeeper Fu, didn't you say that it's suitable for anyone to come within half a year? "Xiao Hua asked anxiously.

"That was then and this is now!

I didn't expect that my Fu Clan's talisman crafting techniques would be so popular. In just a few days, more than ten Fellow Daoists have come. It's really tiring for me to select them one by one! "

"Aiyo, Shopkeeper Fu, this matter … I'll have to trouble you a lot. If this junior is able to join the Fu Clan to practice the art of talisman crafting, I will definitely remember Shopkeeper Fu's kindness!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands and said.

"Ai, who asked this old man … to promise you that day?

I can only reluctantly put in a few good words for you in front of the elders! "Fu Yingmin sighed and said.

"Elder?" Xiao Hua pretended to be surprised.

"Let me tell you, Fellow Cultivator Xiao. Our Fu Clan's Guest Elder, Liu Yun, is in charge of this selection. She'll be in Yanyuan City during this period of time. If you can win her favor, joining our Fu Clan will be a piece of cake!" Fu Yingmin said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to rely on Senior Fu to deal with him!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.

"En, Fellow Daoist Xiao, please follow this old man!" Fu Yingmin stood up and said.

However, just as Fu Yingmin was about to take a step, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you planning to join our Fu Clan to become a talisman crafting master?

Or are you planning to become a disciple? "

Xiao Hua was confused and asked, "This … what's the difference?"

"Aiyo, look at this old man, I'm really getting old. Previously, Fellow Daoist Xiao didn't agree to join our Fu Clan, so this old man forgot to explain this matter!"

Fu Yingmin slapped his forehead and said, "It just so happens that Elder Liu Yun lives in the backyard. This old man will take you there and take the opportunity to explain it to you!"

"Senior Fu, please!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands and said.

Thus, Xiao Hua followed Fu Yingmin down to the second floor and exited from a corner door on the first floor. They walked towards a small courtyard behind the building. During this process, Fu Yingmin explained the difference between a talisman crafting master and a disciple.

Just as Cai Zhuoxia said, the Fu Clan first divided their disciples into two types. One was specialized in cultivation, and the other was specialized in crafting talismans. The Fu Clan's descendants were specially trained according to their aptitude when they were still young. The disciples who specialized in cultivation were the same as the disciples of the cultivation sects. As long as they reached a certain level of cultivation, they would receive the corresponding cultivation techniques and elixirs. They would also receive guidance from the Fu Clan's seniors with profound cultivation!

As for the disciples who specialized in crafting talismans, they would also start from the simplest talisman crafting techniques and gradually delve deeper. As long as it was possible, the Fu Clan would provide them with high-grade talismans for them to practice!

As for the disciples who did not share the surname of the Fu Clan, they were generally classified as disciples who specialized in crafting talismans. These disciples were further divided into two types. One was the outer circle of talisman crafting masters, and the other was the disciple who specialized in crafting talismans!

The so-called disciple who specialized in crafting talismans was the disciple who could inherit the techniques of crafting talismans in the Fu Clan. This type of disciple could practice profound talisman crafting techniques, and they could even enter the ranks of the disciples who specialized in cultivating talismans!

Of course, there was a price to pay, and that was to change their surname to "Fu". For these disciples, the Fu Clan would betroth some of the more beautiful women in the clan to them, and their descendants would naturally become the direct disciples of the Fu Clan!

Correspondingly, the outer circle of talisman crafting masters could only practice the art of crafting talismans. Moreover, after making a corresponding contribution to the Fu Clan, they would be able to practice higher level talisman crafting techniques!

As for the Fu Clan's cultivation techniques?

Sorry, perhaps those below the fourth level of Qi Refining could practice it, but those above the fifth level were practically impossible!

Because of this, another strange phenomenon occurred. Since they could not practice higher level cultivation techniques, then their talisman crafting skills would not be profound. The outer circle of talisman crafting masters could only leave the Fu Clan, or join the ranks of the disciples in order to learn higher level cultivation techniques!

Of course, the Fu Clan's way of crafting talismans was unique. There were many cultivators who already practiced cultivation techniques that joined the Fu Clan to become talisman crafting masters and practice the art of crafting talismans. The goal of these cultivators … was to become a guest elder of the Fu Clan. These guest elders were also known as guest elders. They were different from the elders of the Fu Clan. They could work for the Fu Clan and craft talismans, but they would not risk their lives for the Fu Clan. The Fu Clan would also open up their talisman crafting techniques to these guest elders!

Elder Liu Yun, who was currently in the backyard of the Fu Clan's shop, was one of these guest elders!

After listening to Fu Yingmin's explanation, Xiao Hua finally understood why he was so impetuous. He only wanted to use this opportunity to join the Fu Clan to learn the art of crafting talismans, and also use this opportunity to leave Yanyuan City. However, he never thought that … the price he had to pay for joining the Fu Clan was not small!

He even had to change his surname to "Fu". Fu Hua … why does it sound so bad!

Xiao Hua naturally did not want to change his surname. He could only cup his hands and say, "Junior … thanks Senior Fu for the explanation. Junior will first become a talisman crafting master and contribute to the Fu Clan. I will practice some talisman crafting techniques first!"

Fu Yingmin did not seem surprised and said with a smile, "I understand Fellow Daoist Xiao's thoughts. After all, I also went through this in the past!"

"Eh?" Xiao Hua was stunned and said, "Senior Fu … is also not of the Fu Clan's bloodline?"

"Haha, if I was a direct descendant of the Fu Clan, would I have been sent to Yanyuan City?"

Fu Yingmin said with a smile, "However, if Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to improve his cultivation or talisman crafting techniques, it is better for you to become a disciple of the Fu Clan.

Only a disciple of the Fu Clan can receive the true teachings of the Fu Clan!

Hehe … the ladies of the Fu Clan are also very good! "

Xiao Hua was stunned and his stiff face twitched a few times. He looked at Fu Yingmin's smiling face and did not know what to say!

"Haha, young man, what's there to be embarrassed about!

Which lady of the Fu Clan do you fancy? Just tell me … no matter what, you were selected by me. If you can become outstanding, I will also be proud! "Fu Yingmin laughed again.

Xiao Hua muttered a few words. It was unknown whether he was thanking Fu Yingmin or something else. The two of them then went to the backyard.

"Shopkeeper Fu, is there a problem?"

Before Fu Yingmin could speak, a woman's voice came from a small building in the courtyard.

The small building was very exquisite. It was under a luxuriant flowering tree. There were many thumb-sized light purple Xiaohua blooming on the tree, emitting a simple but elegant fragrance. This fragrance and the exquisiteness of the small building complemented each other very well. It was very interesting.

"Reporting to Elder, I have brought another loose cultivator who wants to join the Fu Clan. I hope that Elder can assess him!"

"En, thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Fu!"

The voice was somewhat lazy, but also somewhat crisp and pleasant to the ear. "How should I address this fellow Daoist?

Does he meet the requirements of my Fu Clan? "

"Junior's name is Xiao Hua. I can refine Fireball Talismans and Icicle Talismans. I wonder if I can join the Fu Clan?" Xiao Hua looked at Fu Yingmin and stepped forward with cupped hands.

"En?"

A woman in her fifties or sixties slowly walked out of the small building. Her brows were slightly wrinkled. She looked up and down at Xiao Hua and said unhappily, "Although Fellow Daoist Xiao's cultivation is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but … this level of cultivation is really nothing in my Fu Clan. And … you can only refine low-level Fireball Talismans and Icicle Talismans. This … is still far from the requirements of my Fu Clan!"

"Elder Liu ~" Fu Yingmin at the side said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xiao is a loose cultivator. It is really rare for him to reach the middle level of the fourth level of Qi Refining at such a young age. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Xiao came to the shop a month ago. At that time, he was only at the early level of the fourth level of Qi Refining. It has only been a few dozen days, but he can reach the middle level of the fourth level of Qi Refining. Of course, his aptitude is commendable!

Even if he can only refine low-level talismans, there is still a lot of room for future development!

This old man thinks that he still meets the requirements! "

"Whether he meets the requirements or not, that is up to this elder to decide. Shopkeeper Fu, you should be more careful with your words!" Liu Yun said with a cold smile.

"How … Elder Liu is the elder in charge of this examination. This old man is just afraid that my Fu Clan will lose a pillar of talent. That is why I recommended him!" Fu Yingmin glanced at Liu Yun and said.

"En, Xiao Hua, refine an Icicle Talisman and let this elder take a look!" Liu Yun said indifferently.

This Icicle Talisman, Xiao Hua naturally knew how to refine it. However, he used his hands and not a talisman brush. When he heard this, he could only take out a talisman brush, talisman paper, and talisman ink. He thought about the process of drawing the Icicle Talisman in his heart. He took out the talisman brush, slowly activated his magic power, dipped it in talisman ink, and started drawing on the talisman paper!
