The types of institutions varied and were divided according to their names

For example, the various institutions established within Pine Mist City included equip, alche the fundamentals of swordsmanshi+p in the Skystar Institution

However, the institutions had their own liht was the e If one wanted to take more advanced lessons, then they needed to enter a sect

A sect was coreat rivers that were rich in spirit energy They often possessed great cultivators who took up positions in the sect and its conditions for disciple selection were extremely harsh A person who didn’t possess superb natural talent and a solid foundation would be utterly incapable of passing the sect’s recruit those common institutions could compare to

Chen Xi was very clear about the amount of injustices Chen Hao had suffered over the years Because of him, Chen Hao wasto come into contact with Chen Hao, nor did Chen Hao have even a single friend Thus, if his younger brother was able to formally enter the Thousand Sword Sect, it would undoubtedly be a joyous occasion for Chen Hao, as crazy about practicing his swordsmanshi+p Not to er brother’s growth

Chen Hao was only 12 this year Because he was endowed by nature with unusual intelligence, he had cultivated to the level of perfection within the Postnatal Realrandfather, his foundation was inco the Thousand Sword Sect’s exa his house, Chen Xi saw fro her chin as she sat before his door The young girl had a headful of hair that was bundled up into a vertical pigtail, a pair of jet-black glossy eyes and an extreirl ran over when she noticed Chen Xi and excitedly asked, “Big Brother Chen Xi, where’s Little Hao?

Chen Xi rubbed Xixi’s little head He was extreirl was a few years younger than his brother, and whenever he returned froed along with Chen Hao to play, occasionally sharing soood relationshi+p

What was particularly iave Chen Xi’s faarded Chen Xi as a jinx This sort of trust that didn’t have any other motives mixed in made Chen Xi value it exceptionally

In a daze, Xixi looked upwards as she asked, “Distant place? Where’s the distant place?”

“Follow me” A trace of a smile appeared on the corners of Chen Xi’s irl becoain recovered that frosty and stiff appearance

Holding on to Xixi’s chubby little hand, Chen Xi walked into his house

Placed on the table were a pile of light azure talisman papers, an ink tray of blackish-red ink, and a dark talisman brush

Chen Xi fixed his posture to sit up straight before the table Xixi obediently sat on the small stool at the side with a little face full of curiosity

Chen Xi pointed to the pile of light azure talisrain talisman papers, the most inexpensive type of talisrain, and it is ordinarily used to craft the simplest basic talismans”

Xixi was like a student as she fiercely nodded and said, “Big Brother Chen Xi, I’ve remembered it”

Chen Xi chuckled and shook his head before pointing to the tray of blackish-red ink and saying, “This tray of ink is derived from the blood of a Crimson Flame Deer The Crimson Flame Deer itself is the one of the lowest class of demon beasts in the world of cultivation Other than its blood, which can be used as ink for talis, the rest of its body doesn’t have a shred of value Even thede to raise and train this type of useless demon beast”

Xixi nodded as she asked, “What about that brush?”

“That’s a talis talis a talisman, a superior quality talisman brush will not only draw out smoother strokes and more symmetrical marks, it’s able to increase the success rate of talis This talisman brush is a mere ordinary talisman brush However, it’s sufficient for , Chen Xi abruptly noticed that he had a lot more to say than usual today Could it be that it’s because grandfather and little brother left, I’ve taken Xixi as soht up to this point, Chen Xi turned to look at Xixi, but noticed that the little girl was resting her head on the table and had been asleep for an unknown a and translucent drool hung from the corner of her er brother had the exact saer He couldn’t help but feel his heart warm as he carefully picked Xixi up and placed her on his bed He then tucked her in and returned to sit at the wooden table

Without further ado, Chen Xi picked up the brush and stained it with sufficient ink, then he waved it before swinging it to draw a talisman
