Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Wuyue Residence 2-1906.

In front of Jiang Cheng, several magazines and a stack of newspapers were laid out.

All these four magazines and newspapers were about the key Immortal Sect universities in the Capital.

There are four key Immortal Sect universities in Capital.

They are:

Qinghe Xuanran University, commonly known as Qingxuan University.

Capital University, commonly known as Capital University.

Lotus Cloud University, commonly known as Lotus University.

Hundred Peaks University, commonly known as Ling University.

Among those Jiang Cheng knew, Lin Yao seemed to plan to go to “Qingxuan University,” while Yue Linger seemed to be at “Lotus University.”

These universities appear to be referred to as “key Immortal Sect universities,” but in reality, each has its own focus.

These focuses are also related to the main supporting forces behind each university.

For example, the supporting force behind Qinghe Xuanran University is the Immortal Sect “Taixu Sect,” which is known as “the foremost Immortal Realm in the world.”

“Taixu” sounds like no place for a male cultivator.

And indeed, it is so.

The Taixu Sect is the only one among the Five Great Immortal Sects that only accepts female disciples.

Leaving aside the question of strength,

the Taixu Sect’s Cultivation Techniques, clothing, and sacred places of the sect all emphasize one thing – beauty: mesmerizing, enchanting, and ravishing!

The one thing the sect does not lack is fine wine, beautiful scenery, and beautiful people.

Disciples from other Immortal Sects who have visited the Taixu Sect all linger on and forget to return, utterly enjoying themselves without tiring.

The title “the foremost Immortal Realm in the world” was thus earned.

The reason Lin Yao wanted to go to Qingxuan University was simple: she wanted to join the Taixu Sect.

This reason hardly needed explaining, as the Taixu Sect is commonly recognized as the most suitable sect for female cultivators. Every year, it manages to take half of the female prodigies and nearly a third of the female disciples from other sects.

Unlike the Taixu Sect, Qingxuan University is more secular, accepting both male and female students. Male cultivators in the university can also apply for other Immortal Sects besides the Taixu Sect, although the chances are lower, so it’s not particularly recommended.

Apart from the Taixu Sect, there are two other Immortal Sect powers stirring up the waters in the Capital.

One is the Tongtian Sect, which envelops much of the city of Wuyue and much of the Liang Kingdom.

The other is Lei Buxiao’s sect—the Linlan Sect.

Initially, Capital University was a school independently established by the Liang State Court. Later, due to a lack of competitiveness, and because the court wanted to counterbalance the Tongtian Sect, they brought in the power of the Linlan Sect.

With the strong support of the court, Capital University gradually gained momentum to challenge for the title of the top institution in the Liang Kingdom.

The other two, Lotus Cloud University and Hundred Peaks University, fall under the influence of the Tongtian Sect.

Choosing a university is a matter that requires careful consideration.

Because the university you attend essentially means which Immortal Sect you will join in the future.

Jiang Cheng couldn’t consider the Taixu Sect, unless he planned not to be a male cultivator.

The Earth’s mantra of “Who are you to define my gender” is like fodder before the Taixu Sect.

Even pigs would fast before it.

So the range of choices available to Jiang Cheng was actually not wide. He could either go to Capital University and then join the Linlan Sect after graduation, or go to Lotus or Hundred Peaks and join the Tongtian Sect after graduation.

Of course, theoretically speaking, besides the Linlan, Tongtian, and Taixu Sects, Jiang Cheng had two more Immortal Sects to choose from.

But in practical terms, the influence of the other two is not even strong enough to get involved in the Liang Kingdom. If one wants to join one of the other two sects, one unavoidably faces a long and arduous journey across mountains and rivers, measuring the distance in thousands of miles, which seems a bit more loss than gain.

In fact, if the Taixu Sect were willing to accept male disciples, Jiang Cheng would be quite interested in joining.

Because according to Jiang Cheng’s career pursuit, which is “more money, less work, no responsibility,” the Taixu Sect is the most suitable.

Low work intensity, good benefits and treatment, and no worries about living conditions or environment.

The title of the Taixu Sect as “the foremost Immortal Realm in the world” is not undeserved.

Jiang Cheng also once tried to use his planning experience to determine which Immortal Sect he should join.

Unfortunately, “life in the Immortal Sect” is something that only the brainless NPCs in the game would “care” about.

When players enter an Immortal Sect as disciples, they either undertake quests or engage in endless “kill, kill, kill.” No one would bother to care about what an NPC does daily or what kind of jobs and assessments they have.

Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at Liu Qing, who was closing her eyes to enjoy the sunlight on the apartment’s balcony, and couldn’t help but feel a bit of envy in his heart.

Being the plot’s leading lady in the game is so much better, one is either a proud cultivator of immortality or in a position of high authority, and there are also beautiful and wealthy women.

Like this huge monster, sunbathing every day without a single concern. Even so, her lifespan is still two to three times longer than that of human experts at the same cultivation level.

Unfortunately, “Jiang Cheng” was just a minor character on the sidelines, who could only work step by step, through earnest effort to realize his dreams.

Jiang Cheng took out a communication talisman and found “Bai Wendao” on his contact list.

Professor Bai had many connections and was well-networked, he surely knew some insider information about Tongtian Sect and Linlan Sect.

Concerning the happiness of the lower half of his life, Jiang Cheng had to be extremely cautious.

The life of a cultivator tends to be pretty regular, and there aren’t many who stay up all night without sleeping.

However, in Wuyue City tonight, there was a man who was, contrary to usual, completely unable to fall asleep.

The household of Lu Benwei.

In the dead of night, Lu Benwei’s eyes were wider than cowbells!

Initially, when Zhou Yunshan gave the “Reusable Fluorescent Version of Animal Encouragement Talisman” to Lu Benwei, Master Lu was quite pleased.

To fix a first-level talisman was like bending over to pick up silver—what could be easier?

How difficult could a first-level talisman be?

Surely not, surely not, surely a second-level Talisman Master wouldn’t break a sweat fixing a first-level talisman, right?

Apart from that crap Muscle Relaxation Talisman drawn by that darned Jiang Cheng, Lu·Talisman Specialist Teacher·Ben·Seasoned Second-level Talisman Master·Wei, was confident in handling all first-level talismans!

The difficulty of drawing a talisman increases progressively with each level.

For a second-level Talisman Master to draw a first-level talisman is no different than a high school student doing basic addition.

But when Master Lu opened the “Reusable Fluorescent Version of Animal Encouragement Talisman” and saw the core “Animal Encouragement Talisman,” Lu Benwei fell silent.

This first-level talisman was another he had never seen before!

Right, why the “another”?

Encountering an unfamiliar first-level talisman wasn’t really a big deal in itself.

There are numerous talismans in the world; one is bound to come across some they’ve never encountered.

However, this “Animal Encouragement Talisman” gave Master Lu a feeling completely different from any he had experienced before!

The drawing method for this talisman was quite imaginative, giving Lu Benwei an odd sense of naivety and a feeling of deja vu.

If it were just the unconventional drawing method, in reality, that wouldn’t have stumped Lu Benwei—he was, after all, a second-level Talisman Master with rich experience and history on the frontline of education.

But this Animal Encouragement Talisman, it was strange.

Not strange in the method of drawing, but strange in its thought process.

Upon close study, Lu Benwei was astounded to find that the actual effect of this “Animal Encouragement Talisman” was restricted by about eighty percent!

Whether it was the activation interval, the spread distance, or the functional strength.

All of it had been artificially neutered by half!

It was as if someone had invented the car engine but refused to install it in the car, opting instead to use this high-powered engine for mowing the lawn, then using the mowed grass to feed a donkey, ultimately having the donkey pull the vehicle.

What the hell was he thinking?

Cradling his head, Lu Benwei spent the entire night baffled by the intentions of the person who designed the “Animal Encouragement Talisman.”

The last time Lu Benwei encountered such an absurd talisman was the “Muscle Relaxation Talisman” drawn by some unknown Jiang surname Talisman Master.

“Damn it, I really want to introduce this guy to Jiang Cheng! He and Jiang Cheng are a natural match made in heaven, the perfect ‘match’!”

Lu Benwei cursed, then saw that it was almost dawn outside, so he hurried to get on with revising the talisman.

Making an absurd talisman was hard for him.

But simply correcting those incomprehensible strokes that limited the talisman’s functions was not too difficult.

Lu Benwei wrote feverishly.

Animal Encouragement Talisman, huh?

I’ll unshackle all your reserved hidden energy for you, Master Lu!
