Ling Tian said he would set up a formation to treat Sect Leader Zhang Daoyun, which astonished everyone.
It was well known that Taoist formations were almost lost arts, and most people who knew rudimentary formations were from Longhu Mountain.
For this young man to boldly claim he would set up a formation in Longhu Mountain was sheer arrogance, or in other words, showing off in front of an expert.
The gazes of the crowd shifted back to Zhang Daowen, as Zhang Daowen's medical skills were evident. Before Ling Tian arrived, it was primarily him who had been treating Zhang Daoyun.
Zhang Daowen pondered for a moment and then said, "In terms of medical skills, this old man is far inferior to young friend Ling Tian. Make arrangements as he says. I also wish to observe."
Soon, a quiet room was prepared, and Sect Leader Zhang Daoyun was carried in.
Ling Tian first took out a jade plaque with a red string tied to it. The entire plaque was covered with densely packed patterns.
He carefully placed the jade plaque around Zhang Daoyun's neck. He would soon be setting up the formation, and this jade plaque would be the core of it.
Next, with the help of Zhang Caifeng, Ling Tian had Zhang Daoyun sit cross-legged, with his palms facing the sky, in the center of the quiet room.
Afterward, Ling Tian requested yellow talismans paper, cinnabar, and other materials for drawing talismans. Longhu Mountain naturally had these items readily available.
Ling Tian personally mixed the pigments and then picked up a superior wolf-hair brush.
Wolf-hair brushes are not actually made from wolf fur, as wolf fur is too sharp and stiff to be suitable for brushes.
The truly superior wolf-hair brushes are made from the fur of the yellow weasel.
With the brush tip dipped in pigment, Ling Tian began to draw talismans on the yellow talisman paper.
The brush tip danced joyfully on the paper, embodying the essence of flowing like clouds and water, and drawing with divine inspiration.
Initially, the high-ranking members of Longhu Mountain had shown disdain for Ling Tian's actions. Drawing talismans in front of the people of Longhu Mountain was truly like showing off to an expert.
However, as Ling Tian's movements became more proficient, the people of Longhu Mountain could no longer remain calm. Even if they were to draw them, it would be difficult for them to be as skillful and at ease as Ling Tian.
When Ling Tian finished the first talisman, less than five minutes had passed.
A Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain picked up the talisman drawn by Ling Tian. He could clearly sense the energy fluctuations contained within the talisman, which meant that this talisman possessed spiritual power and was not merely decorative.
Ling Tian ignored the Taoist priest and, without a word, changed to a new sheet of paper and began drawing again.
In just one hour, Ling Tian put down his brush. By this time, there were already more than a dozen talismans placed on the table beside him.
At this point, the emotions of the onlookers could no longer be described with mere shock. They had witnessed the creation of these talismans with their own eyes, and not a single one had been wasted.
It was important to note that even the most skilled talisman drawers in Longhu Mountain would likely not possess Ling Tian's speed and success rate in drawing talismans.
When the crowd then saw Zhang Caifeng looking at Ling Tian with eyes full of admiration and affection, they were filled with immense respect for Sect Leader Zhang Daoyun.
They recalled that when Sect Leader Zhang Daoyun had returned to the mountain and announced to everyone that Zhang Caifeng had found her beloved and that he had decided to betroth Zhang Caifeng to Ling Tian, this had caused dissatisfaction among most of those present.
It was known that many people among the disciples and descendants of the high-ranking families admired Zhang Caifeng. In their view, people were inherently selfish. If their disciples could marry Zhang Caifeng, they would have a leading position in the future competition for the position of Sect Leader of Longhu Mountain.
After all, Zhang Daoyun was human. Where there were people, there was a martial world. He had to consider his daughter and future son-in-law.
However, they never expected that Zhang Daoyun would find a young man from outside to betroth his daughter to. This was a direct insult to them. Were the elites, disciples, and descendants of Longhu Mountain not as capable as an unknown outsider?
But now, no one thought that way anymore. They found themselves unable to find words to describe the young man before them. It was truly a case of "comparing people leads to death, comparing goods leads to despair."
Ling Tian's medical skills were so profound that they could even be said to have crushed Zhang Daowen. And with his talisman-drawing skills, no one in the entirety of Longhu Mountain could claim to be superior to Ling Tian.
Furthermore, during Ling Tian's treatment, the conflict that had occurred at the mountain gate was also known to everyone. Some people had even checked the surveillance footage at the mountain gate and witnessed Ling Tian easily neutralizing Zhang Xiujian's fireball attack.
This indicated that Ling Tian also possessed profound attainments in martial arts and sorcery. Looking at him, and then at the disciples and descendants of their own families, they were nothing but useless trash and weaklings.
If they were Zhang Caifeng, they would also choose Ling Tian instead of their own disciples.
This led these people to ponder who Ling Tian's teacher was, and what kind of extraordinary master could have taught such an outstanding disciple.
Little did they know that Ling Tian had six teachers!
Ling Tian approached Zhang Daoyun and sat facing him. Then, he extended his hand, and the next moment, something astonishing happened that made everyone present gasp. From several meters away, three talismans from a pile on the table suddenly levitated and floated towards Ling Tian.
"Telekinesis!"
Those who witnessed this scene were immensely shocked.
Being able to move objects with telekinesis, whether through internal energy or sorcery, required extremely high attainments. Not everyone among the high-ranking members of Longhu Mountain present in the room could achieve this.
The three fire talismans flew up and directly into Ling Tian's hands. Ling Tian infused them with his true essence, and the three talismans were ignited.
Subsequently, they saw Ling Tian's hands receiving the two burning talismans, and he repeatedly touched Zhang Daoyun's forehead and shoulders.
"Samadhi True Fire, burn all evil spirits and demons, Supreme Lord Laozi, by the law of the heavenly mandate!"
"Daowen, what is he doing?" a Taoist priest whispered.
"This is Zhuyou technique. This young man is using the power within the fire talismans to strengthen the Samadhi True Fire within the Sect Leader's body!
When the Samadhi True Fire is vigorous, the corpse poison will naturally be suppressed! This young man is truly a divine being. How does he know so many things..." Zhang Daowen murmured to himself.
In ancient Chinese medicine, there was a branch called Zhuyou Ke, a treatment method that used talismans and other means to treat certain illnesses.
According to the theory of Zhuyou Ke, there are three fires within the human body, located at the top of the head and on both shoulders.
Among them, adult males, with their robust vital energy and blood, have the most vigorous three fires.
Conversely, the elderly, children, the infirm, and women have relatively weaker three fires within their bodies.
