The Supreme Sword Master

Chapter 175

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. In a room, Tang Ye held a talisman brush in his hand and was slowly drawing on the talisman paper before him. He had a serious and solemn expression while his eyes stared fixedly at the talisman paper, and he didn’t dare blink at all. The difficulty of crafting Technique Talismans was countless times higher than basic talismans. Even with Lin Shan’s personal guidance, Tang Ye and Bao’er hadn’t been able to succeed even once in this month of time. It wasn’t that their natural talent was insufficient, and it was because technique talismans were too complicated. Because of this, the fervor Bao’er had at the beginning had vanished completely since a long time ago, and it was even to the extent that she’d become extremely discouraged lately. However, Bao’er’s fervor and confidence instantly returned after Lin Shan said a single thing. Lin Shan said, “It has only been such a short period of time, what’re you getting anxious for? I spend an entire two months of time before I was able to craft my first technique talisman!” When Lin Shan said this, it wasn’t just Bao’er’s confidence that had returned, even Tang Ye’s confidence had returned as well. Tang Ye was fully concentrated in the room while he slowly drew stroke after stroke, and beads of sweat gradually seeped out from his forehead. Just like that, this continued for around two hours, and at a certain period in time, Tang Ye withdrew his brush. After that, he took a deep breath while undisguised happiness appeared in his eyes. Tang Ye casually wiped off the sweat on his face, and then he picked up the talisman that flickered with light before running towards Lin Shan’s residence. At Lin Shan’s room, Lin Shan was stunned when he laid eyes upon the talisman in Tang Ye’s hand. After he recovered from his shock, he said with an astounded expression, “You crafted this?” Tang Ye nodded with slight excitement. He could be said to have not slept or rest for an entire month as he studied this technique talisman, and after a month of painstaking hard work, he’d finally succeeded today. So, how could he not be excited?The corners of Lin Shan’s mouth twitched slightly, and he was extremely shocked. Even though Tang Ye had only crafted a Windblade Talisman that was of the lowest rank, he’d completed it within a month of time! He was clearly aware of how complicated technique talismans were because all those years ago, he’d spent an entire two months of time to craft a single technique talisman that was only at the low-grade, yet Tang Ye had successfully crafted a technique talisman after a month, and it was even a high-grade talisman.... Lin Shan’s confidence was slightly impacted by this. However, he felt even more happiness and gratification because Tang Ye was his disciple. As he gazed at Tang Ye who seemed slightly excited, Lin Shan’s eyes revealed undisguised praised. During these two months of time with Tang Ye, he was extremely satisfied by Tang Ye’s performance. It wasn’t just because of Tang Ye’s natural talent, and he placed even more emphasis on Tang Ye’s attitude. Yes, no matter if it was in terms of talisman or cultivating, Tang Ye’s had an extremely serious attitude, and he worked very hard. This really pleased Lin Shan. Because no matter how gifted one was, if that person didn’t work hard, then that person would become mediocre in the end! Throughout the history of the southern territory, none of the renowned grandmasters in the Dao of Talismans had succeeded by relying solely on natural talent, and they relied even more on their hard work. Hard work makes up for lack of talent, these words were extremely justifiable! After he restrained his thoughts, Lin Shan gazed at Tang Ye and nodded with satisfaction. He said, “No matter if it’s in terms of the Talisman Dao or Martial Dao, your natural talent is extremely good, and it’s even rarer that you’re able to remain humble, modest, and work hard in everything you do just as you’ve done in the past.” When he spoke up to here, Lin Shan paused for a moment and said, “Don’t be too impatient about your mother. I’ve already inquired about it. The Flower Palace has only confined her at the bottom of Passionless Cliff, and there’s no danger to her life for now. So, don’t make unnecessary sacrifices, understand?” When he heard his mother was confined at the bottom of Passionless Cliff, the excitement in Tang Ye’s eyes instantly vanished, and he couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, “Don’t worry master. If I don’t have sufficient strength, then I won’t head to Flower Palace and give my life!” Lin Shan sighed when he noticed the flames of rage in Tang Ye’s eyes. He said, “It isn’t that Master refuses to help you, and it’s instead because I’m helpless in this matter. If your mother violated any other rule of the palace, then I would probably be able to make them make an exception. However, your mother violated the rule that the founding ancestor of the Flower palace set all those years ago, and this rule is the foundation of the Flower Palace, so even the Palace Master would suffer severe punishment if she violated it. So, not to mention me, it would be useless even if the President of the Talisman Master’s Association went to plead on your mother’s behalf!” Tang Ye closed his eyes and clenched his fists, and it caused his nails to pierce into his palm. He was truly unwilling in his heart. Could it be that I really have to allow my mother to be confined there for a few years or even a few tens of years? Would mother be able to hold on until I rescue her? Would she? Lin Shan was slightly unable to bear watching Tang Ye be in pain like this, and he immediately said, “There are two conditions required to rescue your mother!” Tang Ye’s eyes suddenly opened up, and then he knelt down and said, “Please teach them to me, Master!” Lin Shan helped Tang Ye up and said, “If you want to rescue your mother, then you must change the rule set by the Founding Ancestor of Flower Palace. In order to change this rule, you need absolute strength. Yes, absolute strength. So long as you possess absolute strength, then not to mention changing the rules of Flower Palace, it wouldn’t be a problem even if you wanted to annihilate Flower Palace. But possessing absolute strength is easier to be said than done! In the last 10,000 years, only a few people in the southern territory have accomplished that!” “What about the second?”
