Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 1543
Chapter 1543 Dragon Talisman Sect
After resting in White City for half a month, Ye Feng did simple tasks every day. Even if he helped people run errands, he also earned a lot of immortal crystals. For the time being, there was no problem with his life.
The competition between the Dragon Talisman Sect and Huangji Sect was finally about to begin. Many people were heading to the foot of the Dragon Talisman Sect, not wanting to miss this grand gathering.
Although everyone knew in their hearts that the Dragon Talisman Sect would end up in a miserable state this year, they still couldn’t help but want to take a look.
After all, this was a competition between talismans and dao. It was related to many profound truths, and martial cultivators could also absorb a lot of experience from it.
The annual Talisman Dao Tournament was divided into three levels: Heavenly Talisman, Immortal Talisman, and Profound Talisman.
The Heavenly Talisman Dragon Fu Sect was the weakest, because the Dragon Fu Sect had not found a good genius for many years, and there was no successor. Immortal Talismans were at the divine level, and there were still many antiques left in the Dragon Fu Sect, so they could barely hold on.
The profound talisman was at the Immortal King level, and Huangji Sect had the upper hand. However, the Dragon Talisman Sect was focused on cultivating the talisman dao. In terms of talisman dao research, it was obvious that it surpassed Huangji Sect.
At most, Ye Feng had only come into contact with Heavenly Talismans. He had never even seen an Immortal Talisman, let alone a Profound Talisman. It was equivalent to an Immortal King. If it was divided according to weapons, it would be an Emperor Weapon.
After washing up early, Ye Feng left White City and quickly walked along the official road towards the Dragon Talisman Sect. On the way, he saw quite a few people in twos and threes. It seemed that they were all going to watch this grand gathering.
“I have received news that Huangji Sect came prepared this time. It seems that he intends to use this opportunity to completely devour the Dragon Talisman Sect. He doesn’t want to wait any longer.”
In front of Ye Feng, there were three to five people walking together. Their cultivation realm was not very high. They didn’t have a mount to hurry on. They were all ordinary martial artists.
Only those martial artists who possessed flying beasts were in the upper echelons of the Immortal Dimension. From the clouds, they could often see flying beasts flying past, and some of them even covered the sky.
“Yes, I’ve heard people mention that Huangji Sect wanted to change his method this time. He brought along many geniuses and was prepared to end it completely with the Dragon Talisman Sect.”
Soon, someone agreed. It seemed that they had received a lot of information from other sources.
There was no need for them to say this. Ye Feng had also heard this news. This time, Huangji Sect was prepared to change the rules and swallow the Dragon Talisman Sect in one fell swoop. He did not want to continue to compete year after year like this.
After walking for more than half a day, he finally arrived at the foot of the Dragon Talisman Sect. The reason why he chose to live in White City was because he wanted to be close to the Dragon Talisman Sect.
At the foot of the Dragon Talisman Sect, there were already a sea of people. They probably knew Huangji Sect’s purpose and didn’t want to miss this grand gathering.
This time, the scale was unprecedentedly grand. Even the Profound Moon Sect, the Wang Clan, the Li Clan, the Flying Star Clan, the Azure Cloud Sect, and Flower Sect had people coming. After all, this was related to the situation in Azure Dragon Region.
Once the Dragon Talisman Sect was annexed, Azure Dragon Region would soon have another first-rate sect. That sect was Huangji Sect, on par with the Profound Moon Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect.
Back then, when the Fu Sect was in power, the Wang Clan, Li Clan, and Flying Star Clan were all second-rate clans, and it was only in recent years that they managed to get up.
Once there was a first-rate sect, Azure Dragon Region’s resources would definitely have to be redivided. Judging from Huangji Sect’s ambition, once it became a first-rate sect, it would definitely invade other places.
In the hearts of many people, of course, they did not wish for Huangji Sect to rise. However, the Dragon Talisman Sect was no match for them. They would lose year after year, and it was estimated that this year would be the end.
Hearing this news, Ye Feng did not know if he was happy or worried. Although the life and death of the Dragon Talisman Sect had nothing to do with him, Ye Feng had come to the Immortal Dimension for the Talisman Sect. Before he could join, he would be annihilated.
Because Ye Feng came earlier, he actually snatched a good place. He was very close to the front, found an open space, and sat down cross-legged.
The day of the Fu Dao Tournament was tomorrow. The real army should not return until tomorrow. Those who came today were all people from the lower echelons.
At night, the disciples of the Dragon Talisman Sect often appeared. They handed out food to these people. Since they came from afar, they were guests. The Dragon Talisman Sect treated them with courtesy.
Even if tomorrow doesn’t exist, you still have to do well today. This is the rule of life. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. As long as you do well today, you will have a clear conscience.
Everyone is the same, do not place hope in tomorrow, ambition, or ideals, to live in the present. These words were sent to all the readers.
Ye Feng discovered something strange. The youngest disciples of the Dragon Talisman Sect were all in their thirties, and there were even disciples in their forties.
Although Ye Feng had learned of the Dragon Talisman Sect’s encounter and hadn’t found any good disciples over the years, he was still deeply shocked by what he had witnessed with his own eyes.
There were only two reasons why a sect was still developing in such an orderly manner. The first reason was that they were reluctant to part with this inheritance, and the second reason was that they possessed a strong cohesive force.
Whatever the reason, it was worthy of admiration, and their spirits should be recorded.
“Young Master, this is your spiritual food.”
A man around forty dragged a basket in his hand and took out a box of spirit food from it. He handed it to Ye Feng. Since he came to the Dragon Talisman Gate, he was a guest. Whether it was in the mountain gate or at the foot of the mountain, as long as it was the territory of the Dragon Talisman Gate, it would be the same as entering the Dragon Talisman Gate.
“Thank you!”
Originally, Ye Feng did not want to take it, but seeing the man’s sincere expression, he did not refuse and took the spirit food.
Opening the box, there were a few simple and crude foods inside. They were considered to be the lowest grade spirit food. Many people took them and revealed mocking expressions as they threw them to the side.
He was even secretly mocking the loneliness of the Dragon Talisman Sect. Even eating such low-grade spirit food, it was estimated that the food of a third-rate sect outside was better than that of the Dragon Talisman Sect.
Ye Feng picked up a piece of spirit food and put it in his mouth to chew. Although there was very little spirit energy in the spirit food, there was a different taste in it.
After eating a piece, Ye Feng was still not satisfied, he continued to pick up the next piece and continue to experience it.
“What a strange spirit food. When I was making it, I actually took part in a trace of the Concept of Talisman Dao.”
Ye Feng’s face revealed a trace of surprise. He did not expect that he was even cultivating the Dao of Talismans while making spirit food. This Dragon Talisman Sect was indeed different from other sects.
More than ninety percent of the people chose not to eat, so they casually threw them aside. Soon, someone took them away.
The man who gave Ye Feng spirit food just now walked back and took away the box. Seeing that Ye Feng had eaten all the spirit food, the man’s face revealed a trace of satisfaction.
“Senior, do you still have spirit food?”
Ye Feng was still full of intentions, and his face was a little bashful. He asked embarrassedly. He had yet to comprehend the state of mind just now.
“Yes!”
The man did not hesitate. He took out another box from the basket and handed it to Ye Feng. He did not leave and silently stood aside.
Ye Feng did not care. He picked up the spirit food and continued to put it in his mouth. He carefully tasted it. That state of mind quickly appeared again.
A trace of runic mood appeared on Ye Feng’s body. Eating these spirit foods could actually increase his cultivation. Ye Feng did not expect that after eating a few spirit foods, his cultivation would increase by a lot.
He hadn’t noticed that the man from the Fu Sect had revealed a trace of astonishment on his face.
“Little brother, have you also cultivated the Dao of Talismans?”
The man sat down and began to chat with Ye Feng. From the artistic conception emitted by Ye Feng just now, he keenly sensed that Ye Feng must be a Talisman Cultivator.
Adding on the fact that he had eaten spirit food twice in a row, he was even more certain that if it wasn’t for the Talisman Cultivator, he definitely wouldn’t know the secrets of this spirit food.
Even ordinary Talisman Cultivators only felt that the spiritual food was delicious and could not feel the mood inside. However, Ye Feng could feel it with a single bite. This shocked the man.
The reason why the Dragon Talisman Sect produced spirit food and distributed it was because they hoped to find someone who had a heart and could feel the Dragon Talisman Sect through the food. They hoped that they could join the Dragon Talisman Sect.
Unfortunately, most of the spiritual food was discarded after being distributed every year. Even if someone ate it, they would still be chewing on peonies and wouldn’t be able to experience it.
“I understand a little!”
Ye Feng did not directly say that he had cultivated the Dao of Talismans, he only understood a little.
The man smiled slightly and didn’t care. If he understood a little, he would be able to comprehend the Concept from the Spiritual Food. This was obviously impossible, unless he was a peerless genius.
“I wonder if little brother has a sect?”
The man began to rope Ye Feng in and ask about Ye Feng’s background. Ye Feng did not care. The Dragon Talisman Sect’s purpose in doing this was to pull out more good seedlings. Especially for someone like Ye Feng, he had experienced the Dao of Talismans from the food and was urgently needed by the Dragon Talisman Sect.
“For the time being, I am alone. There is no sect.”
To tell the truth, Ye Feng did not lie. Moreover, there was no need to lie.
Hearing that Ye Feng did not have a sect, the man’s eyes lit up as if he saw some hope.
“My name is Lu Zhi. You can call me Brother Lu directly. I wonder if you are interested in joining our Dragon Talisman Sect.”
The man announced his name and actually invited Ye Feng to join the Dragon Talisman Sect. It was very direct.
Ye Feng smiled bitterly. Although he had guessed Lu Zhi’s purpose, he did not expect the other party to be so direct.
“I’ll think about it.”
Ye Feng did not directly agree, but thought about it first.
“Alright, I won’t force you. This is our Dragon Talisman Sect’s token. As long as you agree, this is the symbol of the disciples of the Dragon Talisman Sect.”
Lu Zhi handed Ye Feng a token. As long as Ye Feng agreed, he would be a disciple of the Dragon Talisman Sect.
Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before accepting the token. He saw that the token was very similar to what Gu Longbai had given him, but there were some deviations in the details.
“Then I won’t disturb your rest. This is the last box of spirit food. Since no one enjoys it, I’ll give it to you.”
Lu Zhi took out the last box of spirit food and handed it to Ye Feng. This kind of good thing was a treasure for those who knew the goods, but it was garbage for those who didn’t know the goods.
The conception was indescribable. It could only be expected that those who didn’t understand would eat peony, wasting a box of spirit food in vain.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
This time, Ye Feng did not hesitate and directly accepted the spirit food. This kind of good opportunity could not be missed.
The disciples of the Dragon Talisman Sect left one after another, packing up all the food boxes scattered on the ground and returning to the sect.
Looking at their stooped back, Ye Feng’s heart suddenly felt a little touched.
