The young great master, Qiao Mu, stood in front of Jiang Hong with her hands behind her back. She remained expressionless as she watched this fuming woman’s antics.
“Allow me to serve as referee.” At this time, a white-bearded elder walked up with a smile. He cupped his hands toward everyone.
“Goodness, isn’t this Anyi Prefecture’s famed Old Talisman Practitioner Song?”
“Yes, yes! The old talisman practitioner is over 70 years old. His talisman-drawing technique is second to none in our Anyi Prefecture.”
“I heard that the old talisman practitioner has already reached the peak of the black-level perfected rank. He’s only one small step from breaking through to become that what talisman practitioner?”
!!
“Earth-level?”
“Ah, right, right, right. He’s nearly about to break through to become an earth-level talisman practitioner.”
Everybody looked at this old talisman practitioner with reverence. The elder was also very amiable and nodded with a benevolent smile at everyone who saluted him.
Even Jiang Hong dared not make a fuss after seeing the old talisman practitioner.
She saluted the old talisman practitioner respectfully. “I have troubled you, Old Talisman Practitioner Song.”
Qiao Mu also said “Thank you for the trouble.” Then, she and Jiang Hong each sat down at two short tables.
All talisman practitioners brought their own talisman pens, cinnabar, and the like.
It was no exception for Qiao Mu and Jiang Hong either. They each took out their own talisman pen and started drawing on a talisman paper.
To not stand out that much, Qiao Mu specially prepared cinnabar and pretended to dip her pen in it.
In actuality, her talisman pen never required anything like cinnabar.
After they started drawing, everybody held their breaths as they watched these two competing talisman practitioners with shining eyes.
Jiang Hong was over forty years old and had drawn countless talismans. There was naturally no need to question her proficiency at drawing talismans.
On the other hand, the little lady in red clothes sitting on the left side was even more incredible.
She was so young, yet she stayed unruffled the entire time. Drawing a talisman in front of everyone did not perturb her at all.
From the moment she picked up her talisman pen, her strokes flowed smoothly and speedily, and she completed drawing in a single breath!
Everybody was dumbstruck when they saw this young great master put away her talisman pen. They all looked at each other and saw everyone else’s flabbergasted expressions.
What was the situation?
The young great master had finished drawing?
Had three minutes even passed since the young great master sat down and picked up her pen to the completion of the talisman?
To Qiao Mu, since there was no requirement that the grade had to be a blue talisman, how long could it take? Besides, the talisman was not jade or ebony, merely paper.
She had already dipped her pen in cinnabar and dawdled for a bit. Once she started drawing, though, even she herself couldn’t control the speed.
It probably took less than one minute from the moment she moved her pen to when the talisman was completed!
Old Talisman Practitioner Song was also dumbfounded. He hastily walked over while trembling, and picked up the yellow-rank immobilization talisman that Qiao Mu had drawn. After inspecting it, he shouted excitedly, “One yellow-rank immobilization talisman!”
“Wow! The entire hall was in an uproar.
In contrast, Jiang Hong, who had just sat down and dipped her talisman pen in cinnabar, had only just drawn her first stroke. She gripped her talisman pen and yelled with a contorted expression, “Impossible!”
How was this possible?
Mo Lian couldn’t help but facepalm.
Look, this matter has definitely blown up!
By the end of the day, the news that a grand talisman practitioner with a three-minute drawing speed had appeared would circulate through the entire Anyi Prefecture!
Qiao Mu had already stood up and glanced in Jiang Hong’s direction. “I’ve won. Bring over your wager!”
