My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 25 The Overbearing Sun Family

Two years have passed, and Jiang Chen is now twenty-seven years old.

In the past two years, the force behind Black Wolf has vanished as if it had disappeared into thin air, making no further moves and even ceasing surveillance.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was drawing talismans. His talisman brush moved continuously across the talisman paper, the tip of the brush like a swimming dragon, outlining intricate talismanic patterns.

After a dozen or so breaths, he picked up the talisman brush. The entire talisman looked ordinary and unremarkable, without any spiritual light appearing.

Only by using divine sense to explore can one discover that it contains a great deal of energy.

Looking at the talisman on the table, he rubbed his hands together excitedly. He carefully picked up the talisman and examined it closely.

"The success rate of the talisman is 60%, and there is also a high-quality talisman. It is a mid-grade first-rank talisman with excellent quality, and its power is equivalent to the full-force attack of a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator."

"If I had been able to use this exquisite golden needle talisman when I was assassinated by the savage bull two years ago, even if I missed a vital spot, I could have severely injured him."

"I've run out of talismans, it's time for me to exit the simulation."

With a thought, the scene before him instantly transformed into a dark sea of ​​consciousness, and he used his divine sense to probe the Dream Butterfly Diagram.

……

Number of Dream Butterflies: 1

Second Dream Butterfly Condensation Progress: 65% (affected by divine sense strength)

【Dream Butterfly Energy: 80%】

[Current number of dream visits: 0/1]

[Maximum time for simulated future events in dreams: two days and six hours (affected by the total amount of spiritual consciousness)]

Upon receiving the information from the Dream Butterfly Diagram, Jiang Chen felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Over the past two years, I have been taking Spirit Gathering Pills and Spirit Nourishing Pills every few days to improve my cultivation and spiritual sense, and it has finally paid off."

His cultivation level has now reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual sense has also greatly improved.

"The second Dream Butterfly is already more than halfway condensed. It should be successfully condensed before breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Each simulation lasts for two and a half days. After the energy is exhausted, it still takes twenty hours to recover the energy by meditating and circulating the energy-nourishing mantra.

I meditate for four hours every day, which restores 20% of my Dream Butterfly energy, enough to sustain me in a dream state for six hours.

"Now, I can achieve a 60% success rate when drawing mid-grade first-rank talismans. Other talisman masters who reach this level can already attempt to draw high-grade first-rank talismans."

Unfortunately, my cultivation level is too low; my spiritual sense and magical power are somewhat inadequate. Several attempts to simulate drawing a high-grade first-rank talisman in a dream have all ended in failure.

"My cultivation talent is still lacking! I need to improve my cultivation level as soon as possible. Once I break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, I'll be able to barely draw high-grade first-rank talismans."

Before Grandpa left, he was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, yet he could draw high-grade first-rank talismans with a success rate of 20%.

After sighing, Jiang Chen withdrew his consciousness from his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Well then, it's time to go to the garrison headquarters and learn about talismans from Steward Zhao."

For the past two years, he has visited Steward Zhao at the garrison headquarters every ten days.

At first, it was indeed as Li Cheng suggested, that I wanted to make a good impression on Steward Zhao.

To join the Golden Cauldron Sect through one's craft, one needs to work in the sect's businesses for ten years. But behind this rule, there's a small backdoor.

That is, the garrison commander and several stewards of the garrison have the right to recommend cultivators to join the Golden Cauldron Sect.

If one is recommended, as long as one's skills are excellent, one can still join the Golden Cauldron Sect even if one has not met the required years of service.

As the manager of all arts and crafts, Zhao Changzhou naturally had the right to make recommendations. Jiang Chen's request to learn about talismans from him was also a way of getting closer to him.

However, as time went on, he discovered Zhao Changzhou's extraordinary qualities.

Jiang Yun was, after all, a rogue cultivator. His talisman skills were all learned by himself from talisman inheritance, so he could be considered a self-taught practitioner.

Jiang Chen's talisman-making skills were all taught to him by his grandfather, and it was all self-taught.

Although he can draw talismans, he has many shortcomings, both big and small, in terms of basic skills and other aspects.

Zhao Changzhou, however, was different. He was trained by a talisman master from the Golden Cauldron Sect and had the sect's thousands of years of accumulated knowledge and skills, which was a legitimate talisman inheritance system.

Even a casual word of advice could greatly benefit Jiang Chen.

It was thanks to Zhao Changzhou's guidance that Jiang Chen was able to increase his success rate in creating talismans from 30% to 60% in just two years, and now he is even able to create exquisite talismans.

His main purpose in visiting Zhao Changzhou now is to improve his skills in the art of talismans.

Upon arriving at the garrison headquarters, he went straight to the Hundred Arts Room where Zhao Changzhou was located.

This was a privilege granted to him by Zhao Changzhou: he could come directly to him without needing to report anything.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the Hundred Arts Room, he saw that in addition to Zhao Changzhou, there was also a young man in white who was quite handsome.

This person looked to be in his early twenties, and his cultivation level was at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

He glanced at Jiang Chen, his face full of disdain.

Even in front of Zhao Changzhou, a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining, he still wore an arrogant expression.

Jiang Chen immediately bowed to Zhao Changzhou: "Greetings, Steward."

Zhao Changzhou nodded slightly: "No need for formalities. Please wait here for a moment. I will give you some guidance after I have dealt with my nephew Sun Yulin's matter."

Jiang Chen bowed in response, then sat down to the side, closed his eyes to adjust his state, and prepared for the next step of drawing talismans.

The cultivator surnamed Sun asked, "Manager Zhao, you will have another spot to recommend a cultivator to join the Golden Cauldron Sect in three years. If you can recommend a junior, my Sun family will reward you handsomely."

Looking at the cultivator before him, Zhao Changzhou felt an overwhelming sense of disgust.

"I may have to disappoint you, my dear nephew, but I am in charge of all arts and crafts. According to the sect's rules, the cultivators I recommend can only be those who are proficient in all the arts and crafts of cultivation."

Although my nephew is a talented young man, he is not among those I would recommend.

"Young friend, you can go to Commander Meng and Garrison Commander Chen. They can recommend cultivators of all kinds, not just those skilled in cultivation arts."

Upon hearing this, the young man surnamed Sun's face immediately darkened.

"Although there is such a rule, if you are willing to recommend a junior, the higher-ups will not refuse you."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen, who was standing to the side, was surprised.

"That guy surnamed Sun has a lot of nerve, making Manager Zhao break the rules just to promote him."

Manager Zhao is also a potential Foundation Establishment cultivator. His training at Blackstone Mountain Market is to increase his chances of obtaining Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

Making a mistake at this point would be tantamount to cutting off one's own path.

Zhao Changzhou chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I also come from a humble background, and I really don't have much influence within the sect. If I did, I wouldn't be here in the Black Stone Mountain market trying to gain seniority."

"If you truly wish for my recommendation, then diligently study the various arts of immortal cultivation. If you can reach the first-grade high level in any of them, I will recommend you without you even asking."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Sun looked indignant: "In that case, I'll take my leave."

He glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, scanned the token at his waist with his divine sense, and then turned and left.

Seeing this, Zhao Changzhou was not angry, but simply shook his head: "The Sun family is getting more and more arrogant. A mere spoiled brat with little talent dares to show me attitude."

Then, he looked at Jiang Chen and couldn't help but admire him: "Although Jiang Chen is not very talented, he is calm, has good comprehension, and is willing to work hard. He is just like me back then!"

Compared to him, Sun Yulin is far inferior in both character and ability.
