After listening to the words of the two people at the table next to him, Su Fan lost his appetite at all.
Under this background, it may be impossible for casual cultivators in the Central Plains to stop practicing.
There are only two options now, either join the Immortal Sect or accept forced recruitment, or join a cult.
But these two choices were unacceptable to Su Fan.
If it doesn't work, just find a deserted place in the Qingyang Mountains to hide for a few years, and wait until the Immortal Sect has wiped out the evil cult before leaving the mountain.
But after thinking about it, this method still didn't work.
Wherever there are spiritual veins, they are occupied by the Immortal Sect and the Xiuzhen Family.
It would be okay to find a place with thin spiritual energy, but that would be a waste of practice.
Su Fan sighed, casual cultivators really have no human rights.
He put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and continued to listen to the conversation of the monk next to him.
"Lao Gu, then when you come back this time, you are going to stay in Huixingfang City."
"I mainly want to come here to see you this time. I'm going to Shuiyuemen in a few days. It's said that they are recruiting magicians. I want to go there and give it a try."
"Although Shuiyuemen is a bit small, it is still a good place to go at this time..."
"Do you know why Shuiyue Sect recruits talisman masters? It's because the three major immortal sects are suppressing them too much. These small sects and small households can hardly bear it anymore..."
Hearing this, Su Fan's heart moved.
If you can really join the Shuiyue Sect and become a Talisman Master, that seems to be a good idea.
Although his level of making spells is average, he should be fine in such a small household.
And as a Talisman Master, at least you don't have to go out and fight.
Thinking of this, Su Fan no longer thought about eating, paid the bill and left the hotel.
Shuiyue Gate was not far from here, and he went out early the next morning.
After flying for more than two hours with the magic weapon, we arrived at Shuiyuefang City at noon.
The mountain peaks in the distance are vaguely dotted with buildings, which seem to be hidden and visible. Shuiyuefang City is located in a valley surrounded by mountains.
The dangerous and steep peaks not far away are where the gate of Shuiyue Gate is located.
Su Fan came to the outside of the valley, which was heavily guarded. He waited in line for a long time before going through the security check and entering the market.
The area of Shuiyuefang is not small, and the entire valley is packed to the brim. Narrow streets are spread throughout the city. The mountains surrounding the valley are also densely covered with houses and caves.
Su Fan made some inquiries and easily found the place where Shuiyue Sect recruits talisman masters.
This is an extraordinary pavilion. It is noon, but there are already many casual cultivators here, gathered here in groups, waiting for the Shuiyue Sect's assessment.
After a while, several Shuiyue Sect disciples walked out of the pavilion.
"The Talisman Masters participating in the assessment are all waiting in line here..."
Following the shouts of the Shuiyue Sect disciples, many casual talisman masters who came to take part in the assessment quickly formed a long queue.
Su Fan also lined up with the flow of people, and the process of waiting for the assessment was very long.
After waiting in line for an hour, Su Fan was led into the pavilion by a Shuiyue Sect disciple.
Compared with the grand exterior, the interior decoration of the pavilion is much more exquisite and detailed. The screens, tables and chairs in the hall are all carved with complex and exquisite patterns.
The hall is not too big, but it is more than enough to accommodate a hundred or ten people. There are tables inside.
Su Fan found a table and just sat down when a Shuiyue Sect disciple began to read out the assessment rules.
The rules of the assessment are very simple. Just use the five talisman papers on the table and draw two "exorcism talismans" to pass the test.
After hearing the assessment rules, the expressions of most of the casual talisman masters changed immediately.
Isn't this embarrassing?
"Exorcism Talisman" is a middle-grade talisman, which is still very difficult for ordinary casual talisman practitioners.
When Su Fan first learned the art of making talismans, he only spent some low-grade talismans and mid-grade talismans like the "Exorcism Talisman", but he never mastered it.
Although he was able to skillfully make an "evil-proofing talisman" through the game panel later, the power of the talisman was average and it always lacked a trace of charm.
It wasn't until he obtained Li Miaoxue's jade slip in Haoyuan Immortal City that Su Fan's ability to make talismans broke through the bottleneck and improved qualitatively.
Su Fan spread out a piece of talisman paper, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully went through the entire process of making the "Exorcism Talisman" from beginning to end in his mind.
After a while, he took out his top-quality talisman pen, dipped it in half full of talisman ink, then concentrated on it and started making talismans.
Su Fan looked attentive and moved his pen like flying. Slender and graceful dark red arcs spread out on the talisman paper, like flowing clouds and flowing water, comfortable and natural.
He was completely immersed in a mysterious and peaceful state, and all he could see were the slender and dense lines on the talisman paper.
When a complex and mysterious pattern quietly bloomed on the talisman paper, the surface of the talisman paper suddenly lit up, as if breathing in and out, and then returned to the original state.
call! !
Su Fan put down his talisman pen and successfully finished drawing the first "Exorcism Talisman".
In fact, he could have painted three pictures in one go, but of course he couldn't do that in this place.
After a short rest, Su Fan began to write and make talismans again.
He controlled the talisman pen in his hand and traced it on the talisman paper with an astonishing frequency. His movements were skillful and smooth. Instead of feeling sluggish, he had a light and coordinated rhythm.
After successfully making two "exorcism charms", Su Fan started to release water, but failed twice in a row.
Su Fan had a look of disappointment on his face, and then he pretended to close his eyes to rest.
After resting for a while, he picked up the talisman pen again.
With a focused expression, a thin piece of light cyan pine pattern talisman paper gradually formed a dense and exquisite pattern under the sway of Su Fan's talisman pen.
Success! !
Su Fan showed a hint of surprise on his face and let out a long breath.
A Shuiyue Sect disciple came over and picked up the three "Exorcist Talismans" on his desk.
"Fellow Taoist, please come with me..."
Su Fan followed him to a room at the back of the hall, where sat an elderly monk who was on the ninth level of Qi training.
The disciple placed the three talismans drawn by Su Fan on the table, then turned and left.
The old monk glanced at Su Fan, then picked up an "Exorcist Talisman" and looked at it carefully.
"Huh……"
The other party only glanced at it, and there was doubt in his eyes.
He put down the "Exorcism Talisman" and then looked at Su Fan with an inquiring look on his face.
"Your method of making this talisman is not wild, but it was inspired by some expert..."
Su Fan nodded and said: "I was taught by a senior before and gained a little bit..."
The old monk chuckled and said, "You don't have to be modest. Your talisman has begun to take shape. It's rare..."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and said: "Identity Jade Talisman..."
After hearing this, Su Fan quickly handed over the identity jade talisman. The elderly monk took it and scratched it on the miniature talisman array.
He looked at Su Fan's information and nodded with satisfaction.
"I recruited you casual cultivators just to deal with emergencies. You have a good resume and your level of Talisman Dao is considered to be entry level. Today I will make an exception and let you enter the sect's Talisman Hall."
Su Fan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to join the sect.
It's not impossible, at least we have a place to stay for the time being, let's see.
He pretended to be full of surprise and cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help..."
The old monk waved his hand and asked with a smile: "How did you survive the disaster in Haoyuan Sect..."
Su Fan shook his head and said with a bitter look on his face: "It's hard to put it into words..."
The old monk smiled, with a look of understanding on his face.
"My name is Ge Yuntao, and I am in charge of the Shuiyue Gate Futang. When you enter the mountain gate, we will be the same sect, so you don't have to be so polite..."
Having said this, he called the disciples outside the room to explain.
Su Fan thanked the old monk, and then followed the young disciple out of the pavilion and onto the streets of Fangshi.
The other party glanced at Su Fan and seemed to be very interested in him.
"Are you from Haoyuan Immortal City..."
After listening to the young disciple's words, Su Fan nodded.
The other party chuckled and said: "These days, the sect has accepted many monks from over there..."
Su Fan finally understood it at this time. No wonder he joined the Shuiyue Sect so easily.
No matter how bad the Haoyuan Sect is, it is still the Jindan Sect, and any monk who can escape from the Haoyuan Immortal City has no ability at all.
These people may not be noticeable when they go to Qingyang Fairy City, but in the eyes of a small family like Shuiyue Sect, they are all talents.
Shuiyuemen is just picking up leaks.
Su Fan followed this disciple out of Shuiyuefang City and drove the magical weapon to the mountain gate of Shuiyue Gate.
After all, it is a small household, so Su Fan's process of getting started is very simple.
He received the Shuiyue Sect's identity jade token and a storage bag at the Zongwu Hall, then chose a cave inside the door, and then became a Shuiyue Sect disciple.
Su Fan stood in his cave, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
From now on, I will be a disciple of the Immortal Sect.
