“I am a registered Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser in the world of cultivation after all. Although this white jade bell is a bit unconventional, as long as it is within the Rank-1 range, completing the third level of appraisal should not be a problem.”

Wu Wan confidently spoke up, seeing him not asking about the history of this Magic Artifact, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.

“However, the price may be a little expensive.”

Speaking of this, Wu Wan seemed afraid that Chen Mobai would misunderstand, and immediately explained.

“Because it involves a Magic Artifact related to sound, I have to research some material, and perhaps consult a senior in the industry. I will definitely need to give a little token of appreciation. But don’t worry, Chen, it won’t exceed 8000 Good Deed Points.”

Speaking of sound, Chen Mobai thought of Bian Yiqing, a master in this field. However, he definitely wouldn’t dare to have this Magic Artifact evaluated by Bian Yiqing.

Wu Wan has been cooperative for many times, even though at first his impression wasn’t ideal, at least in the later times, Chen Mobai was pretty satisfied.

But the appraisal fee of 8000 Good Deed Points still made him feel a little expensive, even though Chen Mobai now had more than a hundred thousand Good Deed Points in his account.

But thinking about it as spending 8000 Good Deed Points to buy this top-quality Rank-1 bell Magic Artifact, he felt much better.

“As long as Master Wu can complete the third level of appraisal, we’ll proceed with your pricing.”

“Alright, let’s sign a standard contract first.”

The third level of appraisal, which involves backtracking the process of offering sacrifices and usage, can’t be completed in a short time.

Wu Wan needed to take the white jade bell back, he might also need to use some special equipment.

The cultivation world has standard contracts to handle such situations, to prevent Treasure Appraisers from being greedy when they see precious Magic Artifacts, either disappearing after taking it away or forging a replica to replace it.

Chen Mobai was sure that Wu Wan would not do such a thing, not because he knew his character well, but because once such an incident occurred, a Treasure Appraiser’s registration certificate would be directly revoked.

Although the white jade bell might be valuable, it definitely could not compare to the Rank-i Treasure Appraiser certificate that Wu Wan had worked so hard to obtain.

Even if his gold shop went bankrupt, with this certificate, Wu Wan would be in demand by numerous Artifact Refining shops if he decided to work, easily earning ten thousand Good Deed Points a month.

After both of them signed the contract, Wu Wan stamped his Professional Seal on it, attached a photo of the Magic Artifact, and then uploaded the standard contract to the network of the cultivation world for backup.

“A maximum of ten days.”

After receiving the deposit paid by Chen Mobai, Wu Wan patted his chest to assure him.

“By the way, Chen, are you free at noon? I have invited Luan Jingsheng for lunch, why don’t you join us?”

Luan Jingsheng was the Cinnabarite Institute student who sold the Five Phases Umbrella to Chen Mobai last time. He was also a customer of Wu Wan. Wu Wan received a good percentage from that business deal. Since he was here, it was natural for him to maintain their relationship.

“Sounds good, I have some questions about talismans that I want to ask a master.”

Chen Mobai initially wanted to decline, but he remembered his recent experience of constantly failing in drawing talismans. He thought that he shouldn’t just blindly rush ahead in his learning.

He had also asked Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu, but the former focused all his energy on formations, and the latter was only thinking about Foundation Establishment. Although she knew a bit about talismans, she couldn’t provide much help to Chen Mobai.

The former student council president of the Cinnabarite Institute was a master in drawing talismans, but Chen Mobai was not familiar with him at all. Chan Si wanted to introduce them, but the former is a reclusive cultivator. Since the entrance examination ended, he hadn’t left his Cave Dwelling.

Since Luan Jingsheng could refine a talismanic artifact like the Five Phases Umbrella, it indicated that his expertise in talismans should not be low.

Chen Mobai had almost forgotten about him, and if Wu Wan hadn’t mentioned it today, he would have missed an opportunity to learn from a knowledgeable person in Cinnabarite Institute.

“Oh, with your talent, you actually failed repeatedly. It must be a very complex and difficult talisman, right?”

In a small restaurant in the campus of the Cinnabarite Institute, Luan Jingsheng was quite surprised to see Chen Mobai come over with Wu Wan.

During the last finals of the entrance examination, although he did not go to watch it, he easily found out about Chen Mobai, praised by the True Man in Red as the “Battle Law Victory”, from the trending posts in the friend circle afterwards.

Being able to enter the Four Great Daoist Academies, he could basically be regarded as a True Cultivator who will Establish the Foundation. If his future development goes smoothly, there is a chance to become the next True Man in Red, returning to his hometown in glory.

Therefore, to have a genius like Chen Mobai come to him for advice on drawing talismans, Luan Jingsheng was somewhat surprised.

“Not at all. I only have some talent in magic duels, I have not even entered the threshold of the way of talismans, I still need your teachings, Brother Luan.” After Chen Mobai agreed to pay for the meal, Luan Jingsheng generously took Chen Mobai to a large classroom in the Cinnabarite Institute that specialized in teaching talisman drawing.

Having saved a meal’s expense and eaten for free, Wu Wan left with a happy smile, he was still busy with the appraisal of the white jade bell.

“Show me by drawing one.”

Chen Mobai obediently set up his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, then began to draw.

After completion, he infused it with spiritual power.

With a “pu” sound, it failed again.

Chen Mobai, with an awkward expression, looked at Luan Jingsheng, but Luan Jingsheng was thinking carefully. He looked at the method of drawing the Consciousness Talisman provided by Chen Mobai, then picked up his brush to draw it himself.

Halfway through the drawing, Luan Jingsheng paused.

Then he continued to draw, but the final product also failed.

However, Luan Jingsheng’s expression did not change. He took another piece of talisman paper, then picked up the brush and began again.

This time, he finished in one go without any pause.

Chen Mobai looked at him admiringly, he knew without trying that this Consciousness Talisman was successfully drawn.

“It’s a bit weird.”

However, after completing the drawing, Luan Jingsheng furrowed his brows slightly.

“What’s weird, isn’t it successful?”

“The change of stroke here is too sharp, when there is a better way to make the transition.”

Under Chen Mobai’s incredulous gaze, Luan Jingsheng dipped his brush again and started drawing another Consciousness Talisman. He adjusted the transition of the brushstroke in the place where he had previously paused, making it rounder and simpler.

“Drawing like this feels much better.”

The modified version of the Consciousness Talisman was successfully drawn, Luan Jingsheng nodded in satisfaction.

“Try drawing using this changed version of mine.”

Chen Mobai respectfully nodded, then took the final version of the Consciousness Talisman drawn by Luan Jingsheng and started copying.

But he failed twice more.

However, having someone guiding and exploring it oneself are two completely different things, similar to when he transferred to the Pure Yang Scroll, the True Man in Red gave him guidance. On the third attempt, seeing Chen Mobai’s stiff technique, Luan Jingsheng couldn’t help but directly hold his wrist to let him feel the correct stroke.

He was successful this time.

Chen Mobai showed a delighted expression.

Although he failed again immediately after, he finally managed to complete the drawing of the Consciousness Talisman successfully on his own in the next attempt.

He took up the talisman he drew, infused it with spiritual power to activate it, and felt the spiritual power consumed in drawing the talisman slowly recover, Chen Mobai couldn’t contain his joy.

He finally succeeded!
