Chapter 91: The Master is a Sage

  Su Dao Xing's thrown talisman transformed into ninety-nine wind blades, which suddenly split into three, and in an instant, two hundred and ninety-seven wind blades appeared in the air.

  The students of "Zhe" Symbol Hall were amazed, they had only seen such a scene when their teacher was making symbols.

  The talisman is thrown out, and the number of objects that the talisman transforms into is generally fixed. Only a master with high attainments in the art of talismans can cause the number of objects transformed by the talisman to change.

  If Su Dao Xing was a master of symbol manipulation, the students in the Symbol Hall thought it was normal for Wind Blade to transform into three. However, Su Dao Xing was just an ordinary symbol manipulator, yet he could make Wind Blade transform into three, which broke the students' understanding.

  "Is it that a person's innate talent is extraordinary, so they can achieve the realm of one object becoming three objects? Isn't it through later efforts and cultivating the symbol boundary to higher depths that one can reach?" Dong Fuxing felt a thread of despair in his heart. He had been practicing symbol crafting since he was young, but until now, he still couldn't reach the realm of one object becoming three objects in symbol crafting techniques.

  Su Dao Xing's expression was as usual, but looking at the strange expressions of the students in the Fu Tang class, he knew that he had played a bit too much and thought to himself that he should be more low-key in the future.

  Dong Fuxing won the first two rounds, Su Daowei won the third and fourth rounds, and the two were evenly matched.

  The fifth round!

  Dong Fuxing threw out his most proud talisman, and it transformed into a swarm of green bees from the realm of the dead.

  Ghost Bee!

  The talisman master can create a talisman that condenses the vengeful spirit bee, representing that the level of talisman creation has reached a high and profound realm.

  A hundred ghostly bees, like evil spirits from hell, emitted a series of piercing cries.

  The students of Fudang looked at Su Dao Xing with a mocking gaze, they wanted to see how Su Dao Xing would win in the fifth round.

  "Ridiculous!" Su Dao Xing muttered a sentence, casually took out a talisman and threw it out.

  That token transformed into a lone wraith mouse, and what's even stranger is that the wraith mouse could actually fly in mid-air.

  Flying Wraith Mouse!

  Dong Fuxing only then realized that in terms of creating talismans, he was far inferior to Su Daoxue. He cupped his fists and said, "I admire you."

  The sixth round!

  Dong Fuxing's thrown charm transformed into nine clusters of fierce flames, while Su Daowu's thrown charm transformed into ten clusters of fierce flames.

  In the seventh round, Dong Fuxing's talisman transformed into a flying snake, while Su Daowei's talisman transformed into a four-legged flying dragon.

  In the eighth round, Dong Fuxing's talisman transformed into a hundred sharp arrows, while Su Daowei's talisman transformed into a thousand long spears.

  Dong Fuxing bowed his head to Su Daoxing and said, "This time in the competition, Qintang won and Futang lost. I have great admiration for your symbol-making skills, and when you're free, you can come to Futang to exchange ideas. I'm sure my teacher will be delighted to engage in a contest of wits with you on symbol-making."

  Su Dao Xing heard this and respectfully said: "When I have time, I will definitely go to Fu Tang to visit your teacher and ask him to instruct me on my talisman-making skills."

  The students of Fú Táng packed up their equipment and left, generously giving the set of Fu symbols equipment to Sū Dào Xǐng.

  The students of Fú Táng arrived with great fanfare, but left with their heads hung low in shame. Losing to the students of Qín Táng in a zither-playing contest was not too embarrassing, but being defeated by them in seal-carving was utterly humiliating.

  "The Hundred Halls Challenge has just begun, Su Dao Xing. I heard from students of other halls that many strong practitioners are planning to come to the Qin Hall to challenge you. Be prepared and don't lose face for the Qin Hall." Lei Biao shouted to stop Su Dao Xing who was about to leave, sharing the information he had recently gathered.

  Su Dao Xing's face sank, feeling a large hand pushing the students of other halls to challenge him from behind. He said, "In the next few days, I have something to leave the Qin Hall for, if you come to challenge me, just decline politely. The Art Saint Institute doesn't have a rule that on challenge day, students can't go out to handle matters, right?"

  "This excuse you've found is a good way to avoid the challenge." Lei Biao nodded, "You go out now, if someone comes to challenge me, I'll just say you're out challenging students from other schools."

  Su Dao Xing bowed his head slightly and walked out of the Qin Tang, coming to a boundless sea of flowers. He arrived at a secluded spot in the flower sea, preparing to cultivate here and avoid the Hundred Halls Challenge Day of Yi Sheng Yuan.

  He has already shown extraordinary talent in music, painting, and calligraphy. If he were to show exceptional talent in other areas as well, it would definitely attract the attention of the big shots in the Art Saint Institute, which would bring unnecessary trouble. In his heart, the hundred arts are only auxiliary to his cultivation, and his main energy is still focused on cultivating and improving his skills.

  This world is a world where strength is respected. If he is not strong, he can't even protect his own loved ones, nor can he control his own destiny. In that case, it's presumptuous to be considered a free person.

  "There are countless techniques under the will of the Demon Saint, but rather than trying to learn them all at once, I'll first cultivate the ones that can be cultivated now and leave the more profound techniques for later." Su Dao Xing looked inward at his sea of consciousness, gazing one by one at those sacred symbols.

  "The Demon Saint has actually mastered most of the hundred arts in this life, he has dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea, talismans, medicine, alchemy, formations, poison, cooking, and taming." Su Dao Xing was truly shocked by the Demon Saint.

  Once a cultivator reaches the realm of respect, further improvement is extremely difficult. Once they become a saint, they are among the top existences on the entire continent. To go further, it's not about accumulating time, but rather breaking through to an even higher realm with improved cultivation.

  Once they become saints, the saints will spend some time cultivating various arts. The Demon Saint is no exception. Before he cultivated his dignity, he mainly practiced medicine and alchemy. After becoming a saint, he cultivated music, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea, arrays, poison, cooking, and other arts.

  Su Dao Xing saw from the experience of the Demon Saint that the Demon Saint had already made some achievements in medicine and alchemy, which was closely related to his two teachers.

  One of the teachers of the Demon Saint was the Medical Saint Bian Sān Zhēn. Bian Sān Zhēn was the medical saint of the Northern Ze Dynasty, and his clinics were all over Northern Ze. It is said that no matter what kind of difficult and complicated disease Bian Sān Zhēn encountered, he could cure it with just three needles. Now on the mainland, there is also a saying that "Bian Sheng San Zhen cures terminal illnesses".

  Su Dao Xing really didn't expect that one of the two teachers of the Demon Saint was actually the Medical Saint Meng San Zhen.

  The other teacher of the Demon Saint was Dan Sheng Dan Qing Zi, who was a generation of Dan Sheng in the Western Land Dynasty. He had alchemy halls all over the Western Land and was also a legendary figure in the Western Land Dynasty. His alchemy skills were so divine that they seemed to defy the laws of nature. One famous legend about him was that he once refined an elixir, which when consumed by a cultivator from the Western Land, directly turned them into a generation's respected cultivator, skipping the stage of becoming a cultivator master, it was truly divine.

  The Demon Saint had two famous masters, the Medicine Saint and the Elixir Saint. No wonder that era dared to dominate the mainland. When the Demon Saint was not yet a saint, the cultivators on the mainland gave him the nickname "Shen San Kuang", which shows how crazy the Demon Saint was back then.
