Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 123: A path to success

"Little Fu, you have always been diligent.

I see that you have reached the foundation building stage for quite some time.

What is your path for the future?" A tall man with a slightly hunched back, on which he had a tortoise shield, was sitting on the ground.

Across from him was Fu Xian.

At the bright age of two hundred, Fu Xian still looked like a young man who was in his mid to late twenties.

"Senior Gui..." Fu Xian looked hesitant.

A sigh escaped his breath, "I don’t know. My expertise in talisman drawing is progressing well, but my lifespan isn’t enough to allow me to reap the harvest I’m sowing.

The Taoist Temples in the northeast region of the central region are too far away. Going there would take me years and cost me thousands of spirit stones.

Even then, I don’t know whether they would accept me.

My heart is full of worldly desires." Fu Xian was honest with himself when he answered this question.

His life had come to a halt. He didn’t know how to move on further.

The hunched man smiled at Fu Xian, "You are lucky. The Taoist Temples truly do not suit your current self. Maybe if you were younger, you would have been able to join.

But these Taoists all have their own lineages and only accept children who haven’t yet experienced the world as their disciples.

When I first met them, I understood why.

Their hearts gaze at the heavens.

But like I said, you are lucky.

Our Ten Thousand Kingdoms Alliance is in the southeast of the central region.

And in just three years, the Azure Cloud Nine Islands Immortal City will be extremely close to us.

I have calculated that the teleportation formation should activate in the capital for a week.

When I reached the fourth stage, my goal was exactly this Immortal City.

Unfortunately, people from outside have to either get a direct invitation or go through the trials of the Immortal City to enter.

These trials... they test one’s potential.

One’s potential has to reach at least the fifth stage to pass them.

My talent... they told me I’m only 90% guaranteed to reach the fifth stage, while the chance of reaching the sixth is less than 10%.

Because of this, I couldn’t pass the trials to enter.

But this is only for me.

Young people who haven’t yet entered the Dao Entering Stage have a different set of requirements.

In addition, the last time the Immortal City was here, I heard that Talisman Masters could gain special entry.

I think this is the most suitable path for you. Are you willing to listen?"

"Please, Senior, pass on your knowledge to me!" Fu Xian bowed extremely deeply.

...

"Three fourth stage cultivators?!" Puyan asked in shock when he heard Fu Xian’s list of suitable people.

Fu Xian explained, "Well, senior brother, you and the others have been in the Immortal City for a long time, so most people you know are already members in neighbourhoods. You can only invite those unhappy or independent people.

But before I entered the Immortal City, I had travelled a lot and made many connections.

Though both the Flower Cultivator and Tribal Warrior don’t know me directly, they are connected to me through other people.

The potential of the former is questionable, but they have a better background. As for the latter, the information I have right now is very little, so I can’t say much.

Finally, the Tortoise Daoist I’m talking about has at least fifth stage potential and is at the late stage of the fourth stage. He has aided me in entering the Immortal City, so I am very grateful to him."

Listening to Fu Xian, the others felt that it was mostly right.

He didn’t have a direct relationship but just a distant connection, which isn’t difficult to form.

If they looked at themselves, the distant relationships they had to fourth stage cultivators reached hundreds.

The only issue was, like Fu Xian said, most of them were in the Immortal City.

If one looked at those outside, the effort it would take to invite them wouldn’t be worth their time.

"Since junior brother Fu Xian speaks so highly of this Tortoise Daoist and is so closely related, then you can directly invite him. His quota... it will be decided later on.

As for the others, you can send them an invitation. Whether they will join us will depend on the situation at that time." Ziling made a decision right away. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

She was even willing to promise a quota even if that person wasn’t what Fu Xian said, just to repay her own gratitude.

The favour Fu Xian gave her by showing her the way of talismans wouldn’t be repaid so easily.

If it wasn’t for that, how could she invite Fu Xian to this gathering?

The previous talk and kindness was one thing, but this gathering had real benefits.

By doing this, she was acknowledging him as a fully fledged member of their group, even if his cultivation hadn’t reached their level yet.

"As for my own ten quotas," Fu Xian talked about the last matter. While the others would do as they pleased, he was a special case so he directly mentioned it.

"I want to ask, is it possible to invite Foundation Building cultivators as reserve members?"

"Hmm..." Ziling contemplated this question, "This was the way you entered, right?"

"Indeed, I entered as a Reserve Citizen because of my talisman talent and my potential to reach at least the third stage and become a full citizen."

"The Immortal Cities’ regulations are somewhat case-by-case on cultivators from outside below the Origin Light stage.

If you are sure the people you recommend have the potential to become Origin Light cultivators, then it’s not an issue to invite them.

Let’s do it like this: they can join as Reserve Members as long as they have a Core Spiritual Inspiration and can break through to Origin Light in at most fifty years.

If those fifty years pass and they still haven’t advanced, then they will lose their status.

I hope junior brother can accept these terms."

"Senior sister is very generous! If anyone I invite can’t break through in fifty years, then I made a mistake and wasn’t able to see things clearly!"
