Less than 10 minutes after Qinchuan sent Tu Shanling off, someone came to pay him a visit.
"I'm Xu Rong, a deacon of Brightmoon Palace."
Xu Rong stood at the entrance and gazed at Qinchuan with a smile on his face. He seemed extremely refined, and the first impression he gave others was very good.
Qinchuan looked at Xu Rong and asked, "May I know why Mr. Xu is looking for me?"
"I heard that Mr. Qin has always been alone and has yet to find a place to belong to, so I've specially come to recruit Mr. Qin on behalf of Brightmoon Palace. I wish to invite Mr. Qin to join Brightmoon Palace, and my Brightmoon Palace is willing to treat you with the position of an elder."
Xu Rong said to Qinchuan, "If Mr. Qin has any other conditions, please feel free to raise them. Our Brightmoon Palace will try our best to satisfy Mr. Qin's needs."
Qinchuan glanced at Xu Rong with a slightly subtle gaze when he heard this, and then he replied, "I'm sorry, I only wish to properly participate in the Talisman Formation Master Exchange, and I don't intend to join any power for now."
Xu Rong wasn't surprised when he heard Qinchuan's words, and he chuckled before he said to Qinchuan, "Mr. Qin is already a Grade 5 Talisman Formation Master now, yet you still treat the competition seriously. You're truly a role model for our generation. Since Mr. Qin doesn't intend to join any power, then I won't disturb you any longer. But before I leave, can we exchange contact information so that Mr. Qin can contact me if he needs anything in the future?"
Qinchuan didn't refuse Xu Rong's request to add him as a friend. He directly added Xu Rong as a friend, and then he watched Xu Rong leave. Qinchuan originally thought that he could finally have some peace and quiet, but who would have imagined that Xu Rong was merely the beginning? After this, he successively met the representatives of a few dozen powers!
It's truly too tiring. It's simply even more tiring than when I inscribed the Heavennote Talisman Formation earlier. I truly never imagined that so many powers would actually come knocking on my door. Moreover, all of them aren't powers from Seine Galaxy. It's truly too terrifying.
Qin Chuan sat on the sofa with a bitter smile on his face. He didn't plan to continue receiving people who came in the future. He might as well hang his contact number outside the door. If anyone came in the future, they could just add his contact number. He really didn't want to see anyone again.
Zuo Sisi looked at Qinchuan's painful expression and chuckled. Then she said to Qinchuan, "Actually, you don't have to meet these people. Why do you have to meet so many people?"
Qinchuan sighed helplessly and said to Zuo Sisi, "I'm just trying to protect myself."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Zuo Sisi was slightly stunned. Then after thinking for a moment, she understood what Qinchuan meant. Her gaze towards Qinchuan couldn't help but become complicated. She whispered, "You're trying to deal with the various powers so that they would think that they have the opportunity to recruit you. This way, no one will secretly attack you in order to prevent other powers from recruiting you, right?"
Qinchuan nodded and replied, "That's exactly what I meant. Although this move seems to be useless and can be seen through at a glance, it's the only way I can think of right now. After all, I'm alone. If I make these powers feel dissatisfied, then they will casually do something that will make me feel very uncomfortable."
Qinchuan felt somewhat helpless. If he had any other choice, he wouldn't have used such a stupid method. Although he was now a 5th Tier Talisman Formation Master, the Heavenly Sound Formation couldn't help him in battle at all. Therefore, his battle strength didn't increase at all. Any Dongxu Stage expert could easily deal with him.
Seeing the helpless expression on Qinchuan's face, Zuo Sisi sighed and said to Qinchuan, "In the past, when I was in Caesar City, I felt that it was extremely difficult for me to maintain the balance among so many people. However, compared to you now, my troubles are really nothing."
"Alright, let's not talk about this today."
Qinchuan looked at Zuo Sisi, "You should tell me about the next competition. I want to know what I need to do in the next competition."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Zuo Sisi replied without hesitation, "Battle. The next competition will be between you Talisman Formation Masters. The 100 contestants will be divided into 50 groups by drawing lots for internal battles. The winners will enter the next round and the losers will be eliminated."
Hearing this, Qinchuan asked curiously, "Will we be using Talisman Formations to battle?"
Zuo Sisi nodded and said to Qinchuan, "Although Battle Formations of the 5th Tier and above are rare, Battle Formations of the 5th Tier and below are still relatively common. Therefore, most Talisman Formation Masters have several types of Battle Formations. You should know quite a few Battle Formations, right?"
Qinchuan nodded and replied, "Although I don't know many Battle Formations, it's enough for this competition."
With the strength of Qinchuan's mental strength, he could inscribe a 4th Tier Battle Formation in the blink of an eye. He could eliminate his opponents before they could inscribe their Battle Formations. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be very easy for him to enter the top three.
"Is there anyone I need to pay special attention to?"
Qinchuan looked at Zuo Sisi. "I'm talking about those Talisman Formation Dao geniuses. Although I'm a 5th Talisman Formation Master now, the Heavenly Sound Formation won't be of any use in battle. I'm basically still an advanced Talisman Formation Master."
"I've already considered this point for you. Among the 100 contestants, there are only two people you need to be careful of. They are Bie Lang and Shu Tao."
Zuo Sisi said to Qinchuan, "Shu Tao is a genius that the imperial family recruited a few years ago. He's now 89 years old and is already at the Great Circle of the Nascent Soul Stage. He's only a step away from the Soul Formation Stage. Under the meticulous nurturing of the imperial family, his attainments in Talisman Formation Dao are extremely high. He's mastered at least 20 types of Battle Formations. In terms of battle achievements, he's never been at a disadvantage against a 5th Talisman Formation Master. Although the 5th Talisman Formation Master was an auxiliary Talisman Formation Master, this is still shocking enough.
As for the other person, Bie Lang, he's the most important person you need to pay attention to! "
When Bie Lang was mentioned, Zuo Sisi's expression instantly became extremely serious. She seriously said to Qinchuan, "Bie Lang is from Wolf City. He's the son of the Talisman Formation Master Guild's president. Just like you, he has the ability to create Void Formations. Moreover, he's a standard Battle Formation Master. He only knows Battle Formations. Among them, there are at least 10 4th Battle Formations!"
Hearing Zuo Sisi's introduction of Bie Lang, Qinchuan's expression also became somewhat serious. If Bie Lang was really as abnormal as Zuo Sisi said, then he was indeed an opponent worthy of being treated seriously!
"I understand. Thank you for your reminder," Qinchuan exhaled and said to Zuo Sisi, "I'll pay attention to these two people."
Zuo Sisi glanced at Qinchuan and said in a low voice, "Don't feel too much pressure. You've already performed very well. Just do your best."
