wait for Young Master Shen tomorrow.""Good!"Having drained his cup, Shen Changqing stood up.Then tomorrow evening, I shall come again to meet with Miss Qing'er.Master Shen, you must come.Of course.Le...In the grand mansion.

Many cultivators gathered here, each cultivator's face bearing a look of reverence.

When the white-robed monks arrived, all the monks bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Ancestor Hongling!"

Many cultivators' voices were neat and respectful.

"No need for formalities!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing said softly, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators before him. The cultivation realms of all the cultivators were exposed to his eyes.

Oh, Lord!

All the cultivators before their eyes had entered the realm of the God Master.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, these thirteen cultivators before you are all renowned talisman masters from the Ancient Wilderness. Among them, three have reached the second rank of talisman mastery, and the remaining ten are first-rank talisman masters!"

Behind Shen Changqing, Duan Jing introduced the identities of these scattered cultivators.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Since half a month ago, when the Hongling Chamber of Commerce released the news, not only scattered cultivators from the Hongling Mountains came, but even scattered cultivators from other places in Guhuang also flocked here.

After all, having the opportunity to connect with a third-rank talisman master is no small stroke of luck.

In fact.

For half a month.

Even just as a second-rank talisman master, there were no less than ten people from the Hongling Chamber of Commerce who came to apply.

However, the Broken Scene Scroll followed the principle of "it's better to have nothing than something unsatisfactory" and didn't immediately accept everyone. Instead, it investigated these cultivators' backgrounds and their levels of loyalty and reliability according to Shen Changqing's instructions.

Finally.

After layer upon layer of screening.

Only thirteen masters of the Daoist sect passed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing remained silent. His gaze fell upon the thirteen cultivators, and an invisible pressure filled the air, causing many to feel immense stress.

Just when some monks were about to be unable to bear the intensity of the gaze, Shen Changqing finally spoke, breaking the silence.

"As for all of you joining the Hongling Merchant Guild, this seat welcomes it with open arms. You cultivators should understand how precious it is to have a lineage."

And you joining the Red Ridge Merchant Guild, is not just about receiving the inheritance of a Rank 3 Rune Dao Master, even if it's a Divine Lord's inheritance, this seat can also give it to you.

Upon hearing Shen Changqing's words, all the cultivators suddenly raised their heads, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Divine inheritance!

Four simple words are an irresistible temptation for many cultivators.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The transmission of the Three Realms Daoist Master is undoubtedly precious, but upon closer inspection, it is not as appealing as that of a Divine Lord.

The reason is very simple.

>

If one can break through the realm of a God Sovereign, their lifespan could be extended.

This alone demonstrates how important a divine transmission is to cultivators.

Immediately.

Then a cultivator's voice trembled as he asked, "Dare I ask if what the ancestor said is true"

"This seat always speaks truthfully, but whether it's the inheritance of a divine monarch or the inheritance of a third-rank talisman dao master, you all want to obtain it, you must pay absolute loyalty."

This is just a test. Let me know if you need anything else!

As long as you remain loyal to me, I can grant you anything your heart desires.

On the contrary, if you betray the Hongling Chamber of Commerce and betray me, then what I have bestowed upon you can also be taken back.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

By then, you will understand that death itself will become a luxury!

>

Speaking of the back, Shen Changqing's eyes were filled with coldness. An extremely terrifying aura emanated from him, causing the thirteen cultivators present to tremble all over, their hearts filled with endless fear.

Before such power, they are as weak as ants.

>

However.

This power appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast.

When that power disappeared, all the cultivators instinctively let out a breath of relief.

Shen Changqing said: "What you need to do next is very simple, which is to draw corresponding talismans for the Hongling Chamber of Commerce."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Hongling Merchant Guild will give you a free quota of materials for drawing one thousand talismans each year. All you have to do is draw one hundred talismans of the same level and hand them over to the Hongling Merchant Guild.

"...As long as the likes of Re's family complete their yearly quota for the Chamber, the Chamber won't interfere with anything else."

"I understand!"

Hearing this, the other cultivators all nodded.

One thousand copies of the materials correspond to one hundred talismans, which requires a success rate of one-tenth.

For an ordinary符道宗師, a success rate of one-tenth is actually quite difficult.

But.

>

Hongling Business Association providing materials for free is a good thing in itself.

How a Taoist master improves their success rate, in simple terms, is by constantly drawing talismans. Over time, with diligent practice, they will naturally become adept.

Not only are the materials for drawing talismans expensive, but if all the materials purchased at once fail to draw a successful talisman, it will be a complete loss.

But the Hongling Chamber of Commerce provides free materials, which is equivalent to having the opportunity to practice.

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Then.

The first cultivator to speak then asked, "I would like to ask, Elder Ancestor, what will happen if we fail to complete the quota required by the Merchant Guild"

"The annual share requirement of the Chamber of Commerce is, in fact, an assessment of you. If you do not complete your quota in the first year, then you will need to make up for the shortfall in the following years by completing the quota of the previous years on top of the current year's quota."

>

If you fail to complete your quota every year for three consecutive years, it means you have no value to cultivate.

>

The Red Ridge Chamber of Commerce does not need trash, so you no longer have a need to remain in the Chamber!

Shen Changqing said coldly and mercilessly.

A thousand copies of the materials are nothing to Hongling Chamber of Commerce right now, they can afford to waste it completely.

>

Besides.

Even the worst talisman masters in the Fu Dao sect have a success rate, it's just that it will be correspondingly lower.

To be precise.

Even if the Hongling Chamber of Commerce operates at a loss, it won't be too significant.

On the contrary.

If there were truly cultivators who passed the assessment, it would mean that the Hongling Chamber of Commerce had found suitable talents to cultivate. In a short period of time, these successful Fudao masters could fully compensate for the losses incurred by the chamber of commerce.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

That is because Shen Changqing is not afraid of waste.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators also visibly relaxed.

For them, this is equally harmless.

Three years.

It would be best if you could pass the assessment.

But if you don't pass the assessment, it's not much different from using the free materials provided by Hongling Chamber of Commerce just to practice.

Even.

If one knows that they cannot complete the assessment, it is also acceptable to secretly withhold those materials.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The premise is that this matter must not be exposed.

Otherwise.

I'm afraid there is a risk of danger to life.

Moreover, over these years, they have been able to receive their corresponding salaries within a fixed time frame. From any angle, it's a completely worthwhile endeavor.

Shen Changqing is indeed not bad.

Even these wandering cultivators are not at a loss.

So for such matters, no one refused to speak up.

Next.

Then Shen Changqing gestured to Duan Jing, who immediately handed each cultivator the materials already prepared and needed for drawing talismans.

"Now, all of you display your mastery by depicting the talismans you are most skilled in, before this seat."

If you have any questions, this seat will answer them for you all. This is also a benefit for your first time joining the Hongling Chamber of Commerce!

Amidst the perplexed gazes of numerous cultivators, Shen Changqing uttered the following words.

Suddenly.

All cultivators were filled with excitement.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

They hadn't expected that upon joining the Hongling Trading Guild, they would receive guidance from such a top-tier talisman master. In an instant, any thoughts of hiding their abilities vanished. Under everyone's watchful eyes, they displayed their ultimate techniques, meticulously drawing out the corresponding talismans.

If this were a normal situation, these cultivators would certainly not reveal their methods of drawing talismans in public.

Because these things involve personal inheritance, exposing them would be like giving others a free ride.

In front of Shen Changqing, these cultivators didn't have such worries.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A grandmaster of the Third Rank Talisman Way and a powerful God Monarch wouldn't look down upon these insignificant inheritances of my Dao.

For a while.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

All cultivators began to draw talismans.

Ethereal energy converged, causing a massive accumulation of spiritual energy above. The scene was quite spectacular.

Shen Changqing watched the thirteen masters of the Fu Dao sect draw talismans, and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

A solitary cultivator is a solitary cultivator.

Although called a master of the Fu Dao, his methods for drawing talismans were not particularly skillful.

As expected.

Please note: HTML tags are not translated. I only translate the content within them.

In less than a minute, several monks had already failed to draw.

> Half an hour later.

Finally, the first cultivator completed the drawing, it was a second-rank inferior master talisman, but it was not of ordinary quality, it reached the level of fine products.

As soon as the first monk finished, others quickly followed suit.

Lastly.

Of the thirteen monks.

Eight cultivators were drawing talismans. Each cultivator's progress in failure was different, and then five cultivators successfully drew them.

Among them, four cultivators only refined ordinary quality Master Talismans, while one cultivator depicted a high-quality second-rank lower-grade Master Talisman.

And the only cultivator who could paint talismans of exquisite quality was the middle-aged cultivator who had just asked about the details.

What is your name

"Greetings, Ancestor! My name is Zhuang Daizi!"

The middle-aged cultivator forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and, in front of Shen Changqing, uttered his own name.

Lord Zhuangzi!

Upon hearing the name, Shen Changqing nodded: "You are very good. Being able to draw master-quality talismans shows that you have a deep understanding of the second-rank master level."

After a simple compliment, Shen Changqing began to offer his critique, pointing out many shortcomings in Zhuang Daizi's depiction of the talismans.

These shortcomings, each and every one of them, are crucial.

Zhuang Daozi's expression changed from joy to astonishment, and then to contemplation. All his attention was absorbed in Shen Changqing's words.

Other cultivators listened to Shen Changqing's commentary on Zhuang Daizi's words, each with their own understanding.

Some Taoist masters even had a look of understanding, feigning an expression of sudden enlightenment, as if they had broken through a mental barrier.

As a third-rank talisman master, Shen Changqing's every word was like the celestial sound of the Tao to ordinary talisman masters, benefiting them immensely.
