Too self-abased

  "Inspiration?"

  Chu Xiao didn't expect that Nan Gong Shang had such a demeanor, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for him. However, his face revealed a hint of puzzlement, showing quite a bit of astonishment.

  "Yes, all along, I had some difficulties in my research on Ling Arc Recording that I couldn't overcome. But after hearing your Spiritual Point Localization, all the difficulties were cleared up. I believe it won't take long to perfect Ling Arc Recording... no, it should be called Spiritual Point Recording."

  Nangong's eyes gleamed with a hint of madness, and he was extremely excited.

  Chu Xiao felt an extreme passion for research from him, and it's no wonder that he could become a historical celebrity in the future and lay the foundation for Lingdian Keben Shu.

  "It turned out to be this way, right, Nangong Shang, your spiritual point recording, I actually have an idea."

  Chu Xiao suddenly decided to bring up Nan Gong's injury again.

  "What's the idea?"

  Nangong's face revealed a hint of joy, and he took Chu Xiao's words extremely seriously, even more so than those of a great master.

  "It's like this, if a curve can be located with a spiritual point, then what about straight lines, and turning lines?" Chu Xiao said with a smile.

  Nangong Shang Ding suddenly realized on the spot, his face showing a hint of contemplation. After a while, he suddenly exclaimed with joy: "How could I not have thought of this? The spiritual arc is composed of countless spiritual points, straight lines, and turning lines are also the same, it's completely possible to use spiritual points as the core of cutting and rotating, and engrave all strokes."

  "Chu Xiao, this idea of yours is really valuable. I'm afraid I have to go and think about it carefully right away. Chu Xiao, sorry, I'll be off first. Here's my name card, let's keep in touch later."

  Nangong was getting more and more excited, and finally couldn't wait to start the research, so he handed a nameplate to Chu Xiao and hastily left.

  Chu Xiao didn't mind at all, and instead gained a deeper understanding of Nan Gong's character.

  In his heart, this Nan Gong Shang is worth getting along with.

  No matter what kind of world it is, connections are extremely important.

  Chu Xiao and Chu Jun were about to leave the Fu Luoguan in high spirits when a sweet voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

  "Chu Xiao, long time no see!"

  The voice was familiar, and Chu Xiao turned around to see Su Xue standing there with a sweet smile on her face, making people think she was a gentle and elegant lady. However, Chu Xiao had already seen her cold and stern side.

  "So it's Miss Su, aren't you here to interview me again?"

  Chu Xiao lightly smiled and said.

  "Chu Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so strong in artifact refinement too! Alas, how can someone like you exist in this world?! My childhood dream was to become an artifact refiner, but unfortunately my talent is limited, and I ended up becoming a reporter who only runs errands. Seeing you now, I'm really feeling inferior."

  Su Xue gently swung her ponytail, and her beautiful eyes shone with an unusual light.

  "Huh?"

  Chu Xiao was speechless.

  "Alright, just kidding with you, it's getting late today, I still have to rush back and finish writing the news about this exchange event, see you!"

  Su Xue smiled sweetly and left with a few colleagues in a very straightforward manner.

  Chu Xiao gazed at Su Xue's receding figure, then shook his head and walked out of the Fu Luoguan with Chu Jun and others, chatting and laughing along the way. Many other workshop owners came up to greet them on the road.

  Just as they walked out of the Fu Luoguan, several people were surrounded by a group of reporters.

  After finally breaking through layers of encirclement, Chu Xiao and several others left the exhibition area, hastily boarded a flying arrow, and departed from Purple Cloud Palace.

  The Fu Lu Shou exchange conference came to a successful end, and the Chu Shi workshop also achieved a breakthrough development, with gains that are hard to imagine. It can be said that the entire Ning Province's Fu Lu Shou community knows about the Chu Shi workshop now. With the conclusion of this Fu Lu Shou exchange conference, the reputation of the Chu Shi workshop will spread to other fields.

  Chu Xiao's name was also renowned in the Fu Lu realm, and every time a seal master mentioned his name, they would give a thumbs up.

  The Ling Circle Refining Technique and the Ling Point Positioning Technique quickly spread throughout the Ning Province's talismanic community, even spreading beyond Ning Province, making Chu Xiao's reputation grow bigger and bigger.

  This time, the Fu Lu exchange event brought not only fame and influence to Chu Shi's workshop and Chu Xiao, but also huge benefits. After the event ended, many Fu Zhi masters came to seek employment one after another, including some seventh-grade Fu Zhi specialists. More importantly, many well-known companies also came to seek cooperation opportunities.

  The Chu army and Chu Xiao did not have a hot head, stable and solid development is what the Chu studio needs, so the two did not blindly expand, randomly recruit symbol masters, and accept orders that came like snowflakes.

  Of course, this is what happened afterwards.

  As Fei Suo left the Purple Cloud Palace and returned to his workshop, Chu Xiao also hastily took out a jade slip, which was a top-grade talismanic spiritual classic.

  Chu Xiao used his spiritual intention to take a look, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Indeed, it was a top-grade spirit canon, with one absolute spirit symbol, eight high-grade spirit symbols, twenty-six medium-grade spirit symbols, and seventy-two low-grade spirit symbols. As for the law symbols, they were all complete.

  The Chu family's symbol dictionary is far inferior compared to this spiritual dictionary.

  As for the set of runes, Chu Xiao made an unexpected discovery, and it turned out that there were thirty-seven more runes than the standard rune system, which means that there were thirty-seven runes that did not exist in the standard rune system.

  It seems that this set of eighty percent perfect rune system is not completely worthless either.

  The most valuable is still Master Cai Ning's "Fu Dao Xin Lu". Chu Xiao roughly took a look at it and understood the value of "Fu Dao Xin Lu". For a Fu Shi, it is priceless. Even for him, it has great benefits, and he can slowly appreciate it later.

  "How was the party?"

  The flying shuttle stopped outside the Chu family's exclusive shop, and the five people of the Chu family had just come out. Li Yuyuan had been waiting for a long time and couldn't wait to ask questions.

  During the three-day gathering of the Zongheng Exchange, the five members of the Chu army spent their time in the Purple Cloud Palace, without rest for three days and two nights, which was nothing for cultivators.

  "Mission accomplished."

  The Chu army took a deep breath and immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart, laughing.

  "Really?"

  Li Yuyuan's eyes lit up and she hastily inquired about the process of the exchange meeting.

  Chu Jun was extremely excited to talk about the Symbol Exchange Grand Meeting, and when Li Yuwen heard that it was because of her precious son again, she almost laughed with a mouthful of teeth.

  The great success of the Chu family workshop at the Fu Lu Shou exchange meeting was extremely exciting for all the apprentices in the workshop, and Chu Jun's announcement on the spot that he would invite everyone to Xian Nu Lou for a big feast tonight made all the apprentices ecstatic.

  For many apprentices, Xian Nv Lou is really too high-end, usually there's no chance to go, now the boss is treating us, who wouldn't be happy.

  For the next two days, the Chu family's Fu Lu specialty store was packed with people in front of the door, many talisman makers and companies came to visit, almost breaking down the door.

  After a rigorous review, the Chu family workshop finally accepted one 7th-grade seal master, five 6th-grade seal craftsmen, and thirteen 5th-grade seal craftsmen. The addition of so many mid-to-high-level seal masters had a huge impact on the Chu family workshop, especially for the older members. However, Chu Jun made arrangements to mitigate the effects, and there was no significant disruption.

  Also confirmed some orders.

  This is also considering the studio's symbolist expansion has been so extensive, there must be enough orders to maintain the operation of the studio.

  After all, so many senior and intermediate designers are a huge expense just for their salaries.

  Anyway, Chu's studio is also on the right track, and its performance has started to soar.

  The Shen Xiao insecticide factory on the other side has not relaxed, and it is supervised by Er Shu. There are no problems, and Chu Xiao has recruited a batch of alchemists from the Lian Dan Fen Hui through Teacher Bi Changchun's relationship. As long as the time is right, the factory can start production.

  What surprised Chu Xiao the most was that before the factory had even officially started production, a customer from Lingzhi Garden came to place an order.

  This customer is Bi Lao's nephew, Bi Haiyuan. He has a large spiritual plant garden, mainly planting various spiritual herbs, and the demand for insecticidal liquid is extremely high. His spiritual plant garden is often plagued by the harm of Ling insects, resulting in significant losses, so he can't wait to place an order and get the Ling insecticide as soon as possible.

  This is good news, I believe there will be more orders coming in the future.

  On the third day of the Fu Lian Exchange Conference, Chu Xiao was busy in his workshop. With him presiding over the workshop, the dozen or so mid-to-high-level talisman makers who had just joined were extremely confident in him, so the workshop was running smoothly and not chaotic at all. Even if some talisman makers had various problems, Chu Xiao could easily solve them, which further increased his prestige in the workshop.

  Chu Xiao continued to use the child and mother symbols for Li Sang's three people, showing his focus on cultivating them. This also made the three of them feel extremely grateful. Originally, with their strength, it could be said that there was no room for improvement at all.

  However, Chu Xiao secretly instructed them not to reveal the news of Zi Mu's symbol.

  Li Sang and the other two also knew what was at stake, let alone Chu Xiao, who valued them so much. They naturally wouldn't leak it out.

  Suddenly, Chu Xiao noticed that the transmission talisman had moved and quickly took it out to look at it. He was quite shocked to find that it was a message from Bi Yunqing.

  "Chu Xiao, today is the registration day for the entrance examination of Ziyun Academy, you won't forget it, will you?"

  Bì Yún Qíng's soft voice came out from the communication talisman.

  It's been a while since I've seen this girl, Chu Xiao thought of her gentle surname, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, "If you don't tell me, I really forgot where you are, I'll go find you?"

  "I'm right outside your Chu's studio, hurry up and come out, it's almost nine o'clock now."

  "Are you outside? Oh, then wait a minute, I'll come out right away."

  Chu Xiao said a sentence, put away the transmission symbol, and immediately instructed the newly arrived seventh-grade seal master Xie Bu Yun, "Brother Xie, I have something to go out, you temporarily take charge of managing the workshop."

  Xie Buyu is a middle-aged man in his late thirties, of medium build. He used to work at a seal-making factory in Tongyun City, Ning Province, but because he was too straightforward and offended the head seal-maker, he was ostracized and angrily resigned.

  There is no blemish in his career information, and he has extremely rich experience in making seals, and he graduated from Tongyun College.

  Tongyun Academy is a school with strength comparable to that of Ziyun Academy, and all the professionals who come out of it are elites.

  Xie Buyu responded with a sound and continued to study the symbol system in his hand.

  In general, when learning the new glyph system in a workshop, one must sign a corresponding restrictive agreement. For example, these newly joined glyph craftsmen, after learning the new glyph system, must serve the Chu family workshop for ten years. This is also to prevent the phenomenon of glyph craftsmen job-hopping after mastering the new glyph system.

  In addition, there is a confidentiality agreement that prohibits the disclosure of the glyph system. If a breach of contract occurs, the Chu Studio can apply for sanctions to the Glyph Distribution Association.

  Generally, disciplinary measures are divided into several types, with the lightest being removal from office and the heaviest being imprisonment.

  Chu Xiao rushed out of the store and saw Bi Yunqing standing not far away, with a sweet smile on her face. It had been a while since they last met, and this girl had become even more lovely.

  Chu Xiao didn't waste any words and directly jumped onto Bi Yunqing's flying board.

  On the way to Ziyun Academy, the two of them chatted about recent events. When Chu Xiao mentioned the Fu Lu Exchange Summit, Bi Yunqing smiled and said: "I knew it early on, you're showing off again. Walking with you requires some mental endurance, or else I'd be so humiliated to death."

  "Hmm..." Chu Xiao was speechless, this seemed to be the second time he had heard those two words of self-abasement.

  After flying for twenty minutes or so, a lake appeared in the distance, with the water and sky blending into one color, reflecting a faint purple glow, looking extremely majestic.

  This is the very famous Ziyun Lake in Ziyun City, which covers an area of several square kilometers. Ziyun College is located on the shores of Ziyun Lake. From a distance, at the end of the lake, there is a continuous building surrounded by many spiritual trees, but among those buildings, there is a white jade-like high tower that stands out particularly, with four purple large characters carved from top to bottom - Ziyun College.
