Cultivation: I have an inventory

With Wu Qingquan's three guilty pleas, the meeting ended quickly.

Many talisman masters present were so shocked that they broke out in a cold sweat, secretly thinking they were lucky.

Xiao Changqing is one of them.

Fortunately, he was keen enough to sense from the beginning that the new shopkeeper was not a good person, and he was afraid that he would make big moves, so he stopped cooperating with the Cao family in time.

Otherwise, he might be on the list called today!

certainly.

This is also an important reason why he has been cautious in the past year.

Fortunately, he did not sell the talismans personally, nor did he directly cooperate with the Cao family. Instead, he wore a vest and passed through Lin Zixi as an intermediary. Even the Cao family did not know who the mysterious talisman master Bai Wuji was.

"Master Xiao Changqing, please stay."

Just when Xiao Changqing was about to return to his studio, Zhou Changkong suddenly called him.

Xiao Changqing stopped. Although he knew that he had not revealed any tricks and the other party could not find out his true identity, he still felt guilty.

…

Hong Jiantao's exclusive Talisman Master was now Zhou Changkong's training room.

The furnishings in the room have not changed. Xiao Changqing used to be very relaxed when he came here, but now he feels a little solemn.

"Master Xiao Fu, don't be nervous. I asked you to come here just to chat and get to know each other. After all, in the month since I came to Nanshanfang, I have heard the most rumors about you, Master Xiao Fu. How did you become a person?" A low-level casual cultivator became a first-level talisman master in just four years."

Zhou Changkong changed his stern and unreasonable expression in the meeting just now and seemed to be easy to talk to again.

Xiao Changqing was not careless, he was just talking politely and guessing the other party's true intentions.

Zhou Changkong is not a person who is good at beating around the bush.

Soon, he also revealed his true intention.

"I know that among the Talisman Masters of Lingfu Pavilion, today's Wu, Liang, and Sha are far more than just the three who have enriched themselves and harmed the interests of Lingfu Pavilion and the sect. But I have only been in Nanshanfang for a short time, and there are some things that I cannot find out clearly. . Master Xiao, based on your usual understanding, do you think there are any other talisman masters in the pavilion who are suspicious?" Zhou Changkong asked.

Xiao Changqing frowned and said: "I have just been promoted to the first-level Talisman Master not long ago. I don't know much about the advanced Talisman Masters in the pavilion than you do, Shopkeeper Zhou... But since Shopkeeper Zhou can't find out more, , I guess there won’t be anyone else, right?”

Zhou Changkong shook his head and said very firmly: "There must be something I haven't found out! For example, in the past year, Cao's Talisman Shop suddenly emerged and became the second largest shop after our Lingfu Pavilion... Cao Jialian's advanced Talisman Master None, but there is a fixed source of first-level talismans and even first-level mid-level talismans every month. The person who collaborates with the Cao family must be the talisman master of our Lingfu Pavilion. "

Hearing this, Xiao Changqing's heartbeat slowed down slightly.

This Foundation Establishment Elder, what do you mean by this?

Could it be that he found out something and cast suspicion on me, deliberately defrauding me?

It shouldn't be... right?

Zhou Changkong suddenly looked at Xiao Changqing and said pointedly: "I have seen the talismans produced by the Cao family. Although they are first-class middle-grade talismans, they have a complete range of talismans, including many rare types in Nanshanfang. And the quality is excellent. The Talisman Master's attainments are probably close to the first-level level! Master Xiao Talisman, who do you think best meets this requirement in our pavilion?"

Xiao Changqing was a little panicked, but his face was calm. He raised his head and looked at him, and said suspiciously: "Shopkeeper Zhou, when you called me here today, did you mean to say that you suspected that the talisman master who cooperated with the Cao family was Me?"

Zhou Changkong was stunned, then shook his head and laughed: "Master Xiao Changqing, you are thinking too much. How could I possibly doubt you? To be honest, among all the masters in the pavilion, you are the one I trust the most! No! There will be people who are younger than you! You have only been promoted to the first level Talisman Master for less than two months! Haha..."

Xiao Changqing secretly affirmed in his heart.

It seems.

This scheming shopkeeper Zhou indeed had no suspicion on him.

Too.

In everyone's eyes, he was just a rookie Talisman Master who had just been promoted to the first level Talisman Master two months ago.

The mysterious talisman master who cooperates with the Cao family has a level of attainment in talisman skills that is close to the first level.

Even if Xiao Changqing is quite talented in Talisman Taoism, it would take at least seven or eight years of hard training to reach this level.

With this prerequisite, Xiao Changqing is indeed the first-level Talisman Master with the least suspicion.

At this time, Zhou Changkong suddenly changed the topic and said with deep meaning again: "Even if I doubt your previous shopkeeper Hong Jiantao, I can't doubt you, Master Xiao Fu. What do you think? After all, I have found out the news. Since shopkeeper Hong left, After that, the talisman master who cooperated with the Cao family also mysteriously disappeared..."

Xiao Changqing's originally relaxed heart suddenly trembled slightly, and he frowned and asked: "Shopkeeper Zhou, do you... want me to come forward and slander Shopkeeper Hong? If so, I'm sorry, I can't do it. Shopkeeper Hong will never do it. It is absolutely impossible to cooperate with the Cao family by selling out the interests of Lingfu Pavilion. Moreover, if others don’t know it, Shopkeeper Zhou should know what level Shopkeeper Hong’s attainments in talismans have reached now, right?”

"Of course I know that Shopkeeper Hong has been promoted to the second level Talisman Master." Zhou Changkong smiled, and then asked: "It seems that Master Xiao has a good relationship with Shopkeeper Hong?"

Xiao Changqing said bluntly: "Shopkeeper Hong has been kind to me. And he has always taken good care of me."

Zhou Changkong didn't take it seriously: "Shopkeeper Hong is indeed good at discovering geniuses. The previous Fu Master Lu Qiu was like this, and now you are the same, Xiao Fu Master. However, Xiao Fu Master doesn't need to take this matter too seriously, as long as you have good talent. , you will find that everyone in the world of immortality is friendly and everyone will take care of you.”

Xiao Changqing didn't reply, not wanting to argue on this matter.

After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Changqing stood up and left.

After a while, several young monks appeared in the room, but each one of them turned out to be a master of the ninth level of Qi refining!

Zhou Changkong ordered: "You should keep an eye on the key people. As for the Cao family, I will go there myself..."

…

…

In the next few days, Lingfu Pavilion seemed to have calmed down on the surface, but in fact there was still an undercurrent.

The new shopkeeper Zhou seemed unwilling to investigate Lingfu Pavilion thoroughly and punish him from beginning to end.

Xiao Changqing sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without having to worry about being traced. No one knew about Bai Wuji's vest, and he had just broken through the false information of the first-level Talisman Master, making him the number one 'good citizen' in Zhou Changkong's eyes.

Even if Xiao Changqing blew himself up or someone reported him, Zhou Changkong would not believe it.

However, this time the turmoil made Xiao Changqing decide to show more talents and get more say for himself.

In the past, when Shopkeeper Hong was here, he had no pressure or sense of urgency. It was better for him to develop step by step and secretly. But now that the crisis is coming, we have to change our strategy.

Just like now, if he had not been promoted to the first level Talisman Master, and it only took four years for him to break through, how qualified would he be to be neither humble nor arrogant in front of Zhou Changkong?

So in the following time, Xiao Changqing's talisman skills improved very quickly in the eyes of outsiders!

When he was first promoted to a first-level talisman master, his success rate in drawing a lower-level first-level talisman was less than half, only 30 to 40 percent. In just half a year, it improved to 70% to 80%!

With such a success rate, he can be considered a senior first-level low-grade Talisman Master.

Perhaps in another year and a half, Xiao Changqing will become a first-level mid-level Talisman Master!

Such speed is even faster than Lu Qiu's back then!

Xiao Changqing's reputation as a genius talisman master became more and more famous.
