Chapter 63: Caught Red-handed!

  Everyone in the field stared at the crescent-shaped crack on the wall that had already been penetrated, their faces filled with shock and incredulity. They couldn't believe that this ordinary-looking guy was actually a true talisman master, especially Guan Ming. Looking around at the many people gazing at Tang Jing with admiring and worshipful eyes, he felt even more complicated inside. This man had always been proud, no matter in cultivation or in the field of talismans, he wanted to be the strongest. He liked being admired and envied by others.

  Originally, he saw Tang Qing, who seemed to be gentle and humble on the surface, but deep down in his heart, he had a hint of jealousy towards Tang Qing's Tian Di Bao Ti. Although it was the cheapest Da Di Zhi Ti, he still felt jealous, not because of the Da Di Zhi Ti itself, but because of Tang Qing who became famous because of the Da Di Zhi Ti!

  He likes the feeling of being worshiped!

  This time, he refined the Ice Rain Symbol, and he also wanted to get everyone's praise while getting everyone's worshiping eyes. And all of this was just as he thought it would be. When he took out the Ice Rain Symbol, everyone's worship made his vanity extremely satisfied.

  He likes the feeling of being worshipped and enjoys the envious glances from others.

  All of this originally belonged to Guan Ming! But now all of it has been taken away by that damned waste Tang Jing. Looking at Tang Jing again, his attitude was no longer as humble and kind as before, but instead became hostile, with an even thicker sense of jealousy in his heart!

  Tang Qing had gone through nine calamities, and his eyes, although not all-knowing, were extremely piercing. Feeling Guan Ming's gaze was not kind, he patted Guan Ming's shoulder, sighed, and said, "I've lived for half my life, but I can only refine the Wind Blade Symbol now. You're so young and can already refine the Ice Rain Symbol, you're much stronger than me. Your future potential is limitless."

  Considering Guan Ming's help, Tang Qing couldn't bear to crush his confidence. What he said was sincere, but when it reached Guan Ming's ears, it became a different story. He let out a cold snort and abruptly pushed away Tang Qing's arm.

  Tang Qing smiled helplessly and said to Master Hong, "Trouble you to exchange some spirit stones."

  "This……" Master Hong seemed to have just reacted from a deep shock, staring at the Wind Blade Symbol in his hand, feeling unbelievable. After hearing Tang Jing's words, he fell into deep thought for a moment. If it were an ordinary Wind Blade Symbol, he could naturally offer Spirit Stones according to its corresponding price. However, the Wind Blade Symbol refined by Tang Jing had much greater power than an ordinary one, and the resources consumed were also very few. How could he set a price for this? It really made Master Hong unsure of what to do.

  Just then, a group of five or six people suddenly walked into the hall. These people were all over sixty years old, with gray and white hair, but they were all spirited and alert. Seeing these people, Master Hong and other appraisers in the hall were shocked, immediately came out from inside, and respectfully shouted, "Master Wen, Master Feng, how are you..."

  In Master Hong's impression, masters such as Wen and Feng who were extremely skilled in talisman crafting had been in seclusion for years, rarely going out. It was even a year since they last set foot in this hall. And yet... What made Master Hong even more surprised was that at this moment, they all looked serious, as if something big had happened.

  "The disciple has seen Master Wen."

  Guan Ming saw Master Wen and immediately stepped forward to pay his respects, Master Wen nodded slightly, gazing at Guan Ming lightly, saying "Guan Ming, you're also here, good, not bad. Have you seen a young man about your age?"

  Guan Ming hadn't had a chance to visit Master Wen yet, and was planning to surprise him with the Ice Rain Symbol. However, halfway there, Tang Qing suddenly appeared. What's more confusing is that when Master Wen saw him, he asked about someone else?

  "A young man about my age?" Guan Ming was really puzzled as to why Master Wen would ask such a question.

  It's not just him, Master Hong and others beside him also looked bewildered.

  "Wen Dashi explained, 'Just about an hour ago, someone cracked the remaining nine palaces and six unions of the ancient tower left by the master.'"

  As soon as this statement came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, shocking the crowd in attendance. Within the city of Yong, who didn't know that the master of the ancient tower had left behind the remnants of the Nine Palaces and Six Harmonies? If one could decipher them, they would have the qualifications to become his disciple and receive his teachings. Unfortunately, for fifteen years, no one had been able to decipher them. Now, hearing that someone had actually deciphered them was something that shocked everyone!

  Who is it!

  What a person!

  This is the inner doubt of everyone, they are very clear that deciphering the Nine Palaces and Six Harmonies residual局 means becoming the only disciple of the ancient tower master, and even inheriting the position of the tower master in the future. Such a special identity is indeed enviable, especially for someone like Guan Ming who is proud of himself. In those years, he failed to decipher the Nine Palaces and Six Harmonies residual局, and originally wanted to move the ancient tower master with his bitter flesh plan, but unexpectedly still failed. Although two years have passed, he has not given up on becoming a disciple of the ancient tower master, because he is very clear that after becoming a disciple of the ancient tower master, it can bring great honor to himself.

  But now it has been cracked?

  Guan Ming's heart was trembling with anger, his mind was in a mess, and an inexplicable fire was burning uncontrollably within him. Who was it?! Who had stolen my position?! This unparalleled honor was only meant for me, Guan Ming!

  "My grandma! The remaining nine palaces and six unions of the ancient tower master were broken like this? This is really surprising to me!"

  Tian Jingang was indeed unfamiliar with the Fuwen, but he had heard of the Jiugong Liuhe residual bureau. Now that someone has cracked it, he also has a complex expression, saying he's not envious would be false, after all, who doesn't know that becoming a disciple of the ancient tower master means an unparalleled honor.

  "Is the remaining palace of the nine palaces and six unions in that garden?"

  Tang Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, seeming to understand something, but couldn't be sure.

  "Really! It's the remaining layout of the Nine Palaces and Six Harmonies in the garden, Tang Qing! Have you ever gone to decipher it?"

  Having succeeded, Tang Qing secretly cursed his bad luck. If he had known that it was someone else's leftover puzzle for recruiting disciples, he would not have solved it no matter what. He put away his Wind Blade Symbol and bid farewell before hastily leaving.

  At this moment, two more people appeared at the entrance of the hall, one old and one young. The older man had a kind face and clean white hair, wearing a long white robe with some immortal aura. Seeing this old man, Master Hong, as well as Master Wen and others, all bowed their hands in greeting.

  "Master Gu, is there any clue outside?"

  The old master of the ancient tower furrowed his brow, having just searched around outside with Little Li to no avail. This made him feel somewhat disheartened. He had finally found a satisfactory disciple, only for him to mysteriously disappear. The old master felt a sense of injustice in his heart. Next to him, Little Li also looked dejected and listless. Originally, he had discovered someone who could solve the remaining puzzle of the Nine Palaces Six Harmonies formation and informed the tower master about it, which should have been a great achievement. However, since they couldn't find that person, he was now being treated as a criminal.

  Xiao Li was furious with that guy, he walked into the hall, looked around, and suddenly saw a familiar yet strange person. The guy's thin figure, wearing a black long gown, with an open chest, had a quite handsome face.

  Suddenly, Little Li reacted and shouted loudly with an excited expression, "It's him! It's really him! The Tower Master! I've found him!"

  After being recognized, Tang Qing let out a loud cry of bad luck and prepared to quickly leave with his head hung low. Unexpectedly, Little Li rushed over and grabbed his arm, excitedly shouting, "Where do you think you're going? Pavilion Master! It was him who broke through your Nine Palaces Six Harmony Formation!"

  Damn it! Brother! Do you have to hold on so tight?!

  Tang Qing's heart was filled with a thousand kinds of helplessness, his expression somewhat comical, as if he had done something wrong and been caught out, extremely embarrassed.

  As soon as Xiao Li's shout was heard, the eyes of everyone in the hall fell on Tang Qing's body. The gaze of Gu Taizhu, Wen Da Shi and others was filled with surprise, while the gaze of Hong Da Shi, Tian Jinguang, Guan Ming and Bi Yi was more complicated. At this moment, their mood could no longer be described as shocking, but rather a kind of incredulity.

  Yes! Unbelievable!

  It's as if an ordinary person suddenly became a celestial being, making it hard for people to believe.

  This guy has already refined the Wind Blade Symbol with the law of purification, which is enough to shock Master Hong and others, now he actually broke through the Nine Palaces Six Harmony Remnant of the Ancient Tower Lord?

  That's the remaining nine palaces and six unions of the mysterious realm of runes! The entire Yongyang territory, no! Several territories connected to Yongyang have been unable to crack it, and over the years, Master Hong, Master Wen, and others have been trying to crack it, but so far, none have succeeded. Now, it's actually being cracked by this guy in front of him who looks calm, quiet, and unremarkable?

  Guan Ming's heart was the most complicated, amidst this complexity there was no shock, only anger. The Wind Blade Symbol just now had already made him jealous to the point of madness, and now that he found out Tang Jing had also solved the remaining Nine Palaces Six Harmonies puzzle, Guan Ming's hatred grew even thicker. He would not allow such unparalleled glory to fall into someone else's hands! Absolutely not allowed!
