As Jiang Cheng’s proficiency in drawing talismans improved, and with Liu Qing and Cao Wang taking over many of his tedious tasks, his output of Muscle Relaxation Talismans had increased from four a day at the beginning to five or six a day recently.
Jiang Cheng’s current life was a standard routine of “two points and one line.”
Every night he would return home to sleep, and upon waking up, he would come to Cao Wang’s place to draw talismans.
Of course, no matter how busy he was, the amount of work he assigned to Liu Qing was always just a standard eight hours.
If he ever needed Liu Qing to work overtime, he would also pay her 1.5 times the base wage for overtime.
He was determined to be fair and lawful, never giving Liu Qing the slightest chance to think he was an unscrupulous boss!
Jiang Cheng so strictly adhered to the law for no other reason than the simple hope that lawful powers like the Immortal Sect would protect a kind, law-abiding citizen from the sharp claws of monsters.
As Jiang Cheng concentrated on drawing talismans, the communication talisman suddenly rang.
The message displayed on the talisman was from “Sister He” at the Tongtian Sect Task Hall.
He had sent Jiang Cheng a few messages before, but this was the first time she was calling.
There must be something important.
Jiang Cheng stopped drawing talismans and answered the communication talisman.
“Hello? Sister He?”
“It’s me.”
A cool and clear voice came through the communication talisman.
Jiang Cheng immediately became alert; he recognized the owner of the voice—Liu Qing!
Wasn’t Liu Qing supposed to have gone to the Task Hall to pick up tasks? Why was she using He’s communication talisman to call?
Oh, right, Liu Qing probably didn’t have this kind of “human technology” like the “reusable communication talisman.”
“Liu Qing? What’s wrong?”
“There are a lot, should I accept them all?” she asked.
“How many?”
Jiang Cheng’s communication with Liu Qing was always this efficient.
“Over twenty.”
Over twenty requests for Muscle Relaxation Talismans at the Task Hall?
This number, once it was out, even startled Jiang Cheng himself.
He had been drawing talismans with all his might these past few days, not expecting that not only could he not finish drawing them, but the number kept increasing!
If the current trend continued, even if he worked himself to death, he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the pace of tasks being posted!
“Accept the ten with the nearest due dates first.”
“Mm.”
The communication talisman disconnected.
Jiang Cheng temporarily set down the brush for drawing talismans.
He now had to consider the mismatch between his slower talisman drawing speed and the growing demand for talismans.
The demand for Muscle Relaxation Talismans was extremely high, and relying solely on himself as a Talisman Master to draw them was definitely not enough to meet everyone’s needs.
He would have to find a way to get more Talisman Masters to help him draw Muscle Relaxation Talismans.
The most convenient place to find Talisman Masters was the Talisman Master Association.
Wuyue City was within the sphere of influence of the Tongtian Sect, so the main Talisman Master Association in Wuyue City was the Tongtian Sect Talisman Master Association.
The most important duty of the Talisman Master Association was to certify the level of Talisman Masters, that is, to organize talisman examinations and to issue them certificates of qualification for levels like first, second, and third order.
If he wanted to contact other Talisman Masters, then reaching out through the Talisman Master Association would be a good idea.
The process of drawing Muscle Relaxation Talismans wasn’t too difficult, and considering the high profit, Jiang Cheng believed that there would definitely be many like-minded Talisman Masters willing to collaborate with him.
“Looks like I need to figure out a way to record the method for drawing the Muscle Relaxation Talisman and have other Talisman Masters copy it for learning,”
Jiang Cheng muttered to himself, considering the matter of collaborating on talisman drawing.
…
The Liang Kingdom Imperial College inspection team successfully arrived in Wuyue City. Upon their arrival, they were welcomed by a team from Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy that had been awaiting them for some time.
The purpose of their visit was to inspect whether Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy indeed fulfilled the requirements to be “upgraded to first rank.”
If the inspection was satisfactory, the Imperial College would initiate a three-year upgrade process for the academy.
As long as Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy didn’t encounter any major issues in the next three years, it would successfully be upgraded to a first-rank academy.
After becoming a first-rank academy, Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy would receive much more funding and policy support than before. Of course, the most important thing was that students from a first-rank academy would have the qualifications to enter an Immortal Sect.
The qualification for Immortal Sect was a recruitment banner, something many students dreamt of achieving.
Naturally, all this was predicated on the successful inspection by the inspection team.
If the inspection team felt that Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy was just average, then there would be no follow-up.
The academy’s upgrade to first rank was of the utmost importance to the school.
As the dean, Lei Buxiao personally arrived at the inspection site and explained to the inspection team the achievements Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy had made over the years.
A communication talisman in his pocket began to ring. Lei Buxiao addressed the inspection team with a smile, “Feel free to look around. I need to answer a communication talisman.”
Lei Buxiao walked to the side and took out the communication talisman.
The displayed name on the talisman was “Principal Zheng.”
Lei Buxiao clicked to answer and put it to his ear, “Old Zheng? What’s up?”
Instantly, the angry voice of Principal Zheng came through the communication talisman:
“I mean, Lei, what kind of students are you teaching at your academy? Do you know about that Muscle Relaxation Talisman? During the exams at our school yesterday, two students used that thing and sent the teacher to the hospital! I only found out today it was sold by your academies students! Lei, you have to give me an explanation for this!”
Lei Buxiao barely controlled his facial expression. He internally cursed the Muscle Relaxation Talisman a hundred times.
But the members of the inspection team were still not far away, so he had to maintain an appropriate smile.
While smiling, Lei Buxiao responded, “Zheng Qiang, calm the hell down! Our Sword Cultivation Academy is a victim of that talisman too! Our director Liu Qi sometimes twitches all of a sudden till now! You think you’re the only one with a headache?”
“So what do you suggest we do? We can’t just ignore this, can we? Do we just not run the school anymore?”
“Don’t rush me!” Lei Buxiao smiled at the doubting gaze of the inspection team members and waved them to continue looking around.
“The inspection team is still at our school! I’ll just brush them off for now, and then I’ll immediately find Lu Wang. As the association president, is this how he manages his Talisman Masters? The Talisman Masters from his association can even create such a despicable talisman! It must be sloppy management! The Tongtian Sect Talisman Master Association must provide us with a solution!”
“Okay!”
Lei Buxiao hung up the communication talisman and then cheerily accompanied the members of the inspection team as they toured the academy.
The inspection team’s itinerary was set for one week.
The contents of the inspection included Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy’s infrastructure.
Including physical infrastructure, cultural development, educational establishment, and demeanor construction.
In particular, demeanor construction required inspection of the student’s mental states.
Generally speaking, this involved observing their various expressions during exams.
If it weren’t for the Muscle Relaxation Talisman, this upgrade inspection for Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy would not be a surefire success, but it would likely be a cinch.
Who would have known that right before the inspection team’s arrival, a Muscle Relaxation Talisman would emerge out of nowhere!
If the inspection team saw the various bizarre operations during the students’ practical exams, the plan to upgrade to first rank wouldn’t need consideration; it would definitely be ruined.
The only thing to do now was to delay the inspection of the exams and have them look at other things first, then quickly resolve the issue with the Muscle Relaxation Talisman!
Every time Lei Buxiao thought about the Muscle Relaxation Talisman, his fists the size of sandbags involuntarily clenched.
Damn it! Who the hell is drawing that damn talisman! I’m begging you, please stop drawing it!
