Chapter 47: Lightning Strike (Please collect and read)
Chen Jiangxin said angrily: "If you stay in the Chen family, you will never have the chance to build a foundation. The opportunity is right in front of you. Think carefully about whether you want to fight this time."

The Great Elder is not stupid. He knows that doing so would be extremely dangerous. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a life-threatening situation.

However, with the Foundation Establishment Pill right in front of him, he couldn't help but be tempted.

If you surrender, you will get a generous reward, which can be used to buy a spirit stone for a foundation-building pill. If there is a chance, you can also get the Chen family's foundation-building pill.

These are the two foundation-building pills!

"Okay, my son is really courageous. Let's do it! Find an opportunity to lure Gui Tou Qi here, and I will kill him. I will buy the spiritual stones for the foundation-building pills, and his share is indispensable!"

The news that Chen An could make top-grade talismans reached the ears of the head of the family, Chen Qing.

He specially called Chen An to verify the authenticity of the matter.

Chen An immediately drew three pictures in a row under the other party's nose, and finally succeeded one!
Chen Qing was overjoyed.

Ever since the death of the third elder, the Chen family's talisman business has plummeted, and they have lost a lot of income in Qingyunfang.

Now that I see a good seedling, I can’t help but smile with satisfaction.

"Okay! From now on, I'll give all the family talismans to you. Is that ok?"

Chen An nodded slightly.

Being able to become the helmsman of the family talismans, there will naturally be an endless supply of talisman paper in the future.

Although the success rate of talismans is relatively low now, the proficiency will be improved when the golden bamboo matures next season.

As the success rate of talismans increases in the future, the daily workload will naturally become less and less.

With this identity as cover, it will be much easier to purchase the required materials in the future.

This is the most important thing!
Chen Qing patted Chen An on the shoulder and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, work hard, the family will not treat you unfairly. As long as you work hard, you will be able to replace the elders sooner or later."

"This talisman pen is given to you as a reward!"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Chen An thought the other party was making empty promises, but after hearing the second half, he grinned.

"Thank you, Patriarch. It is my duty to contribute to the family!"

Afterwards, Chen Qing gave a few instructions, and Chen An felt mixed emotions.

The good news is that I got a top-grade talisman pen, which is worth at least two or three hundred spirit stones!

What was worrying was that Chen Qing threw two apprentices to him and asked him to draw talismans.

Chen An sighed, as expected of a man who had been the head of the family for many years, he did things flawlessly.

This deal is not a loss at all!

"If you want, you can go and run the Chen family shop in the market town. With your skills, you can earn as much as you would from farming," Chen Qing tempted.

Chen An refused without hesitation: "I'd rather farm in the clan. I can draw talismans part-time on weekdays without any delay."

After talking about talismans, Chen An said goodbye and left.

He did not return to the cave, but turned around and went to the courtyard where the third elder lived.

There are all the tools for making talisman paper there, and Chen Dazhuang lives there now.

Chen An found the other party and returned the talisman pen.

Chen Dazhuang took the talisman pen, sighed, and comforted him: "It's okay if you fail, just work harder in the future. If you don't have enough talisman paper, just come to me and get some."

The other party's comfort caught Chen An off guard.

He smiled and told the other party what the head of the family had instructed him to do.

After hearing this, Chen Dazhuang looked a little unnatural: "You mean, I will work under you in the future?"

This guy's focus seemed to be a little different. Chen An laughed dumbly: "It's not a question of whether we are subordinates or not, we just help each other."

Less than a month.

Chen Qing sent two talisman master apprentices.

A boy and a girl, a pair of siblings, both fifteen or sixteen years old, in the prime of their youth.

Now I have just started on the path of Taoism and have reached the first level of Qi training.

They are monks with spiritual roots who have been selected from the mortal town at the foot of the family mountain in recent years.

In terms of bloodline, they are all members of the Chen family.

Chen An had mastered several first-level low-grade and medium-grade talisman techniques, which were more than enough to teach two cultivators who had not yet entered the sect. But three hours later, Chen An changed his mind.

He took a deep breath and calmed down his inner anxiety a little.

He waved his hand and threw a copy of "The Complete Introduction to the Way of Talismans" to each of them. These books were left in the third elder's study.

He said, "I've talked enough today. You should go back and digest it. You should study this introductory book carefully. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"

When the two received the registration books, their young faces looked as if they had found a treasure, and they didn't notice the emotions that Chen An was suppressing at all.

"Thank you, senior!"

Chen An waved his hand to send the two men away and breathed a sigh of relief.

These two people have already been screened and are considered to be promising candidates with some talent in the art of talismans.

However, Chen An had no experience in teaching this newbie who had no experience in the art of talismans.

The master leads them to the door, but the practice is up to them. Today I have taught them the most basic knowledge of talismans, and the future depends on their own efforts.

Chen An left the third elder's courtyard and returned to his own cave.

Today's talisman has been made, and the remaining time is for practice.

Time flies, half a year has passed.

Chen An left the cave early that day and walked towards the spiritual field. After half a year of breeding, the seeds of several high-quality spiritual plants had been successfully cultivated.

The cultivated Youyuetan, Jinsizhu and Leijimu were harvested.

The harvest from the first two was just as good as ever, with each plant producing more than thirty seeds!
Moreover, Jin Sizhu once again gained insight into the Golden Light Talisman and advanced it to proficiency.

Just from cultivating spirit seeds, you can earn a lot of spirit stones.

But Chen An is not going to sell it and plans to use it for himself.

Generally, the quality of spiritual plants will be affected to some extent after breeding, but Chen An possesses the art of spiritual nourishment. With several spells cast every day, the quality will naturally not be lost at all and all are of perfect quality.

The quality of the lightning-struck wood is perfect, and it yields a spell called lightning-struck magic.

It is a kind of thunder magic that has a natural inhibitory effect on ghosts and evil creatures.

However, Chen An practiced a wood-attributed technique, so the power he displayed was mediocre and could not be used in combat.

Chen An had little interest, but he harvested a lot of lightning-struck wood seeds, so he planted a few fewer trees.

After all, this wood itself is of high value and is an excellent material for refining thunder-type magical weapons.

Afterwards, Chen An arranged the future planting plan.

One plant of each spiritual plant is selected for breeding. This not only avoids the trouble of asking someone to bring the spiritual seeds, but also saves some spiritual stones used to purchase the spiritual seeds.

A top-quality first-grade spirit seed is not cheap, an ordinary one costs one or two spirit stones!

If you calculate carefully, you can save about a hundred spirit stones every season without affecting planting.

It can be said to be the best of both worlds.

However, only Chen An has the perfect level of soul-nourishing technique in his hands. If ordinary spirit farmers do not have the means to cultivate spirit seeds, doing this will definitely be a loss.

Chen An planted the spiritual seeds, cast a spell to nourish the spiritual seeds and the soil, and walked towards Chen Dazhuang's courtyard.

This is where the four of them usually draw talismans. It is both an office and Chen Dazhuang’s residence.

"Senior Chen!"

The young boy Chen Wen and the young girl Chen Rou bowed to Chen An when they saw him.

Chen An and his sister nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them did have a talent for talismans. Except for the period when they were just getting started that gave Chen An a headache, their performances were pretty good afterwards.

The success rate of the Ma Yi Talisman currently has a 20% success rate. In another two or three months, it will be increased to 30%, and you can become a real talisman master.

Chen Wen came up and said respectfully, "Just now the head of the family sent someone to ask you to go to the family meeting room to discuss something."

Chen An frowned, realizing that a meeting was about to begin.

Now, with his skills in talismans, he has become a member of the family's upper echelons, so naturally he has to be included in the family meetings.
