Chapter 27: Then kneel down!

  Although Biyi was a naive and innocent person, she wasn't stupid. She could naturally see that Gao Yingcai's inquiry about her opinion was actually an attempt to humiliate Tang Qing. Biyi couldn't help but secretly blame herself for giving Tang Qing the identity of a spiritual apprentice. At the same time, she also worried about Tang Qing. After several days of contact, although she didn't know what kind of person Tang Qing really was, she could see that he was too casual and didn't understand how to interact with others. His casual attitude made people unacceptable.

  Gao Yingcai walked over with a stride, his eyes filled with hostility, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if disdainfully handing over the Yunyu symbol.

  Tang Qing didn't refuse, took the talisman and looked at it, said "not bad", then turned to ask Bi Yi, "when are we going to eat, I'm starving."

  "Ah!" Biyi was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting Tang Jing to ask her this question suddenly. She looked a bit embarrassed and said, "I need to go hand over these talismans to the Array Tower first."

  "Alright! You go ahead, I'll just take a stroll outside and come find you later."

  I originally thought that the Tiān Yào Zhèn Fǎ Tower would have something novel, but after looking around earlier, I suddenly felt uninterested.

  Gao Yingcai, among the many disciples of Tianyao Zhenfa Tower, has always been hailed as a genius-like existence. Every time he comes here, as long as he takes out his newly refined talismans, he enjoys endless praise. And yet this guy actually just says it's not bad?

  "This is indeed a Cloud Rain Token refined by Gao, even the appraisers in the tower would need some time to perfectly identify it. But Brother Ah Lang just took a glance and knew what it was, I wonder if he really understands or is just pretending to?" Although Gao Ying was furious inside, with his heart's desire present, he couldn't show it.

  "Hey, brother! With so many people already flattering you, can't I just add one more? Isn't your vanity satisfied enough? Do you need to be like this?" Tang Qing rubbed his chin and walked over, patting his shoulder, saying "I'm an old man with no threat, what's the point of stepping on me?"

  Tang Qing's words directly tore off Gao Yingcai's mask of hypocrisy, and as he looked at the surrounding crowd's whispers, Gao Yingcai's face turned pale and red by turns, his mouth twitching twice. Looking at Tang Qing who was about to leave, Gao Yingcai's anger surged, and with a cold tone, he said, "Brother Lan misunderstood, I truly wanted you to appraise it!"

  Tang Qing, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks. This man wasn't a great evil, but he also wasn't a great good. Bi Yi was a pastry, but he wasn't.

  Tang Qing's expression was calm and collected, unable to discern any joy or anger. However, in his deep, water-like eyes, a hint of impatience flashed by. He reached out and snatched the Cloud Rain Symbol from Gao Yingcai's hand, not even giving it a glance before tearing it into shreds. "You want me to appraise this?" he said. "Calling this thing trash is already being too kind to you. This broken toy doesn't even need an appraisal." With that, he flicked his wrist and the shredded Cloud Rain Symbol scattered onto the ground.

  These words match his actions, and indeed make all the people present shocked and amazed.

  No one would have thought that this guy would say such arrogant words, and even directly tore the cloud and rain symbol of Gao Yingcai into pieces. Bi Yi didn't think so either, she knew that Tang Jing's personality was strange, sometimes like a weak scholar, sometimes like an idle person, sometimes like an arrogant madman, making her unable to understand him. She did not expect Tang Jing to be so arrogant, arrogantly saying that Gao Yingcai's cloud and rain symbol was trash, and even more arrogantly tearing it to pieces.

  "Tang Jing, you..."

  Bi Yi was at a loss for words and didn't know what to do because Tang Qing's action was too sudden, leaving her bewildered.

  Bi Yi did not expect it, and Gao Yingcai even more so. Apart from being shocked, he was mostly furious. From a young age in the field of refining talismans, he had always been living in praise, never had anyone dared to humiliate him like this, nor had anyone ever dared to tear his spirit talisman apart.

  "You! You said my Cloud Rain Symbol is trash?" Gao Yingcai's face turned red with rage, his fists clenched tightly. If it weren't for the crowd watching and Bi Yi being present, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold back from taking action!

  Tang Qing narrowed his eyes, a sly smile playing on the corners of his mouth as he said, "Little rabbit, calling you trash is giving you face. I'm looking at you and seeing how young you are, so I won't strike you down just yet. You're not done for, do you think Laozi has a good temper or something?"

  "Hahaha!" Gao Yingcai was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh, throwing his head back and laughing loudly.

  "He's just a genius, he was just talking casually, I'm apologizing on his behalf."

  Bì Yī felt a headache, what gave him a headache was not Gāo Yīng Cái's overbearing attitude, but Táng Qíng's arbitrary and domineering behavior!

  "Biqi Shifu, who is Gao Yingcai? You should be very clear about it. I didn't even lift a hand to hit him, and that's already giving face to you. Just now he said my Ling symbol was trash and tore it up! Hmph!" Gao Yingcai was truly enraged, especially since his beloved was still pleading for this person, making him even angrier. He glared fiercely at Tang Qing, baring his teeth, his voice completely squeezed out from between his teeth, shouting sharply, "You're just a novice who's only recently entered the school, and you dare to say my Cloud Rain symbol is trash? What makes you think so? What qualifications do you have?"

  "When I was six years old and learning to practice talismans, with just a flick of my finger, a whole bunch would appear. Are you qualified? Open your eyes wide and take a good look!"

  Under everyone's gaze, the slender young man walked to a stone platform on the side, where there were array pens, various resources for refining law ink, and some yellow paper.

  What does he want to do?

  Nobody knows, everybody is guessing.

  When they saw the thin young man pick up that inferior refining pen, everyone couldn't help but doubt in their hearts. Could it be... could he really refine a Cloud and Rain Talisman? It was impossible! No one believed it, not even Bi Yi, who had been an apprentice here for many years and deeply understood just how complex the Cloud and Rain Talisman was. Not only did it require deep attainments in talisman script, but also sufficient spiritual energy.

  Tang Jing understands how to refine talismans? He said he learned to refine talismans at the age of six? And refined a large number of them? Is that possible?

  Bì yī kě shì hěn qīng chǔ, liàn fú xū yào jīng shén lì zhī chí, ér xiū xí jīng shén lì shàng fēn xīn kǔ, bìng qiě hěn wēi xiǎn, tā yě shì cóng shí bā suì cái kāi shǐ xiū xí, liù suì, kě néng ma?

  Tang Qing grasped the brush, and as he began to write, his arm swung, and the tip of the pen drew a brown-colored magical ink that fell onto the yellow paper. His wrist moved, the pen tip flowed, the strokes danced like a dragon, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, flowing like clouds and water. One by one, mysterious symbols were drawn out by him. When he finished drawing the last symbol, the various mysterious symbols on the yellow paper gradually blurred, replaced by a layer of faint light that enveloped the yellow paper in an instant, and then disappeared, taking the symbols with it. In its place was a mysterious pattern.

  Is it done?

  It's done.

  At least, Tang Jing has stopped drawing.

  "Haha! You really are fearless in your ignorance, do you think refining a Cloud and Rain Talisman is that easy? It takes me three hours to refine one, but you just drew a dozen or so talismans and thought you could refine it, haha!"

  Gao Yingcai burst out laughing, laughing wildly.

  Bi Yi lowered her head, somewhat unable to bear looking again. As a disciple of the Tian Yao Zhen Fa Tower, although she was currently still unable to refine the Yun Yu Fu, she also knew that refining the Yun Yu Fu wasn't so simple, requiring 362 talismans to complete. Of course, if one were a qualified array master, perhaps not as many talismans would be needed to complete it. But just now, Tang Zheng seemed to have only drawn around ten or so talismans? Could this possibly complete the Yun Yu Fu?

  Gao Yingcai didn't believe it, Bi Yi didn't believe it either, and none of the onlookers around them believed it.

  "Hahaha!!! I'm dying of laughter! If this so-called Cloud Rain Symbol of yours actually works, then I, Gao Yingcai, will kneel down to you! Hahahahaha!"

  The high talent is laughing recklessly without restraint.

  "Then kneel down!"
