Heaven Slaughtering Sword God - Chapter 24
For the entire three days, Lin Jian stayed in the Violet Bamboo Pavilion and practiced creating talismans.
His requirement for himself was to raise the level of his talismans, to the level of his Low-rank Charm Magician, and to participate in the examination in the Charm Association to obtain the rewards within three days.
Long ago, many years ago, there had been an affirmation from a master of the rune dao that Lin Jian did not have any talent in the Charm Magician, so even if he exhausted his entire life, it would be difficult for him to reach the level of Low-rank Charm Magician.
Perhaps it was because Lin Jian, who was a sword spirit, was extremely talented in mental control. At the moment, when he was creating ordinary talismans like the sword talismans, his success rate had already broken through one third.
In other words, if he were to create three talismans, there would definitely be one that would succeed. In the Charm Magician industry, this could already be considered a very high success rate.
“Then, we can finally set off.”
Lin Jian had been in closed door cultivation for three days, and currently, his thirst was already unbearable. Early in the morning, after he had washed up, he found a mask and put it on before heading to Charm Association.
His move was to conceal his identity to participate in the Charm Association’s competition.
The main reason why he did not want to reveal his identity, was because Lin Jian had already participated in the Charm Association’s test. Furthermore, during the test, Master Chen Xuanliang personally asserted that he did not have any talent in Charm Magician, and there was a congenital deficiency in his mental strength.
This deficiency was almost irreparable.
If it wasn’t for the sword spirit’s rebirth, Lin Jian would never be able to successfully carve a single talisman in this lifetime.
This matter was on record in the Charm Association. If Lin Jian had used his own identity to participate in the test, and passed the examination, then if someone was willing to investigate, and even ask him why he completed the Inherent Skill, Lin Jian would certainly have fallen into an awkward situation.
He couldn’t possibly say that although he was still Lin Jian on the surface, his soul had actually been replaced, right?
Therefore, Lin Jian had no choice but to conceal his identity.
Today was the first day of May.
In the Greencloud City, there were many people who had talent for the Charm Magician. They were born with the most basic requirements to become a Charm Magician, and they had the ability to create talismans, but because of the success rate in creating talismans, they were unable to reach a fifth of the union’s requirements, thus they were unable to obtain the qualifications to verify the Low-rank Charm Magician.
In Nine Regions Continent, the position of a guild was extremely important. Even though it was the lowest level of Low-rank Charm Magician, there was still a large gap between stepping over this threshold and not having stepped over it.
To these people who possessed the talent of the Charm Magician, obtaining the qualifications to the Charm Association s was the first and most important step to achieve a meteoric rise in the future.
If you take this step forward, you will receive the benefits, rewards, benefits and privileges of the Charm Association. But if you do not pass, you will only be considered a talisman fanatic.
When Lin Jian arrived at Charm Association and explained his intentions to the receptionist, the man smiled and led him into a side hall.
As soon as he entered, he saw a sea of people. He roughly counted the number of people participating in the exam this time, and there were at least a few hundred.
“These… are all here to participate in the Charm Magician’s assessment? ”
Lin Jian asked with some surprise.
“Yeah.”
“Amongst these people, the majority of them have already grasped the ability to create talismans, but the success rate cannot meet the requirements, so there are many people who have a fluke mentality, and come here every month for the examination, hoping that a certain amount of luck will explode, allowing them to achieve a fifth of the success rate, with the right to enter the Low-rank Charm Magician realm, but there are still a few people …”
Speaking up to here, the receptionist paused for a moment, and then said with a slight cough, “After saying so much, my throat is a little dry. I’m going for a drink of water.”
Lin Jian rolled his eyes. How could he not understand that this man was asking for benefits? However, for a beginner like him, wanting to quickly understand the situation was not an option. He straightforwardly took out a tael of silver and said, “Go buy some tea to moisten your throat.”
“Hehe, thank you so much!”
The receptionist smiled and continued, “However, there are some who have already acquired the ability to pass the assessment. However, due to certain reasons, they chose to suppress their abilities and did not choose to pass. Although there are very few people like this, there are still a few. All of them are proud and arrogant geniuses! ”
“Oh?”
Hearing that, Lin Jian could not help but be curious, and asked: “Intentionally suppressed? “Why?”
“This is what you don’t know …”
After that, the receptionist passionately explained to Lin Jian.
So it turned out that those who passed the Low-rank Charm Magician Assessment in the Charm Association were also divided into different grades.
If you were able to achieve a third of the success rate, you would receive a special reward from the guild, in addition to the two basic Ephemeral Flowers.
If you can reach half of the success rate and satisfy the requirements of under twenty years of age, and after you pass a separate small test, you will become a ‘Potential’ Charm Magician. You will receive special training from the Charm Association and at that time, you will even receive generous rewards.
“So that’s how it is.”
After Lin Jian finished listening, he nodded his head. He had only known about it for a few days, he did not think that there would be such things hidden inside.
With his current strength, he was almost certain that he would be able to obtain three Ephemeral Flowers if he were to achieve a one-third success rate.
As for the title of Charm Magician with potential … Even though Lin Jian’s heart was moved, he knew that it would definitely be extremely difficult. Furthermore, the success rate of one half of it was still rather harsh for the current him.
“Forget it. Cultivation is more important in a short period of time. Everything will have to wait for my strength to increase.” Lin Jian pondered for a moment and made a decision. He thought that as long as he passed the second round of the examination and obtained three Ephemeral Flowers, he would have nothing to worry about.
“The assessment is about to begin. If you decide to register, please follow me to complete the procedures.” The staff laughed.
“Alright.”
Lin Jian nodded and followed him to a window.
The registration process for the Charm Magician was very simple, and did not require you to fill in the information about your real identity, because all of these could be faked. There were already a lot of people who, by changing their identities, passed many examinations and obtained the rewards from the association’s Low-rank Charm Magician.
“All you need to do is use your own spiritual power to engrave your name onto the Spirit Stone.”
The receptionist took a palm-sized stone platform and pushed it in front of Lin Jian.
Lin Jian nodded and pressed his hand on it.
Subsequently, he closed his eyes slightly, and his Spiritual Force passed through his palm to carve the word ‘spirit’ on the stone platform.
“Okay, no problem.”
The receptionist examined the spirit energy and realized that there was no history of registration in the Charm Association, so he nodded and said: “The fee to participate in the Low-rank Charm Magician Assessment is three hundred gold. After you pay it, the guild will provide the materials you need for the assessment.”
Lin Jian did not say anything, after handing in the gold, it could be considered that he had completed the procedures, and returned to the assessment hall, he found a seat and quietly waited for the assessment to begin.
And at this moment …
Some of them were dressed like men and women, while some others had strange drawings on their faces. At a glance, they looked like a group of devils dancing in the air.
“Sure enough, those who study these ‘unorthodox’ hobbies will at least have some weird quirks.”
Lin Jian thought in his heart.
At this moment, he saw a figure walking into the hall.
