"Heaven-Reaching Talisman... Is this the legendary Heaven-Reaching Talisman?!"

Lin Heng was so excited that his breathing became heavy.

As a Daoist, whether you're a grandmaster or a disciple of a small temple, what you encounter most daily are Daoism scriptures and incense paper yellow talismans.

It can be said that every faction of Daoism revolves around learning to create talismans.

And when it comes to the pinnacle of talisman skills, it is undoubtedly Maoshan, one of the Five Great Holy Lands!

In the art of talismans, Maoshan's achievements are unparalleled!

Its Great Divine Technique, Heaven-Reaching Talisman, created by a patriarch centuries ago!

It has repeatedly shone brightly in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, winning the admiration of countless Daoist disciples!

To this day.

The Heaven-Reaching Talisman is still renowned alongside Dragon and Tiger Mountain's Golden Light Spell and Qingcheng Mountain's Qi Body Origin Flow as Supreme Divine Techniques!

Unfortunately, ever since Maoshan closed its doors decades ago.

The world has not seen this legendary talisman technique again.

But Lin Heng never expected he would win it in a draw!

What excited Lin Heng the most was that he not only received the Heaven-Reaching Talisman but also the complete collection of Maoshan Talismans.

It should be known that Qingfeng Temple had no talisman inheritance, although he had dabbled in some with Master Qingxu in the past, but those had no real effect, purely for fun.

But now he possessed the talisman knowledge accumulated through generations of Maoshan.

This also meant he could use the Heaven-Reaching Talisman to draw any known Maoshan talisman!

It's like winning a bow and getting arrows as a bonus.

How could Lin Heng not be delighted?

"Let's test the effects!"

There was still some time before daybreak. Excited, Lin Heng stepped out of the Daoist Temple and, with his eyes closed, recalled several talismans in his mind, then drew them in mid-air with his fingers.

If there were a master present, they would see divine light shimmering at his fingertips, with each stroke leaving a mark in the void.

"Thunderbolt Talisman!"

"Purification Talisman!"

"Blazing Talisman!"

"Rain Talisman!"

Lin Heng continuously activated them, and sheets of talismans quickly materialized, lined up in mid-air.

"Command!"

Lin Heng swept his finger across.

These talismans surged into the air and activated instantly.

The Thunderbolt Talisman ignited, and thunderbolts surged forth.

The Purification Talisman ignited, righteous energy roared forth.

The Blazing Talisman ignited, and fierce flames howled.

The Rain Talisman ignited, and torrential rain poured down.

"My heavens, is this the wonder of talisman skills?"

"So miraculous!"

Lin Heng's eyes revealed a look of amazement.

These talismans are ranked, the higher the rank, the greater the power, even comparable to a true Divine Technique's strike!

Like the Thunderbolt Talisman, the power of surging thunderbolts could completely match Lin Heng's Palm Thunder!

"No wonder Maoshan, with its talisman prowess, has held a Holy Land position for centuries. These talisman skills are truly profound!"

Lin Heng sighed.

Of course, the higher the rank of a talisman, the more complicated the crafting process.

For example, the upper seventh-grade Thunderbolt Talisman, even a high-functioning master from Maoshan, would take at least ten days to half a month to successfully create one.

This is why Maoshan Daoists cannot carry a stack of high-tier talismans all the time.

There's no helping it; high-tier talismans are exceedingly difficult to make.

Lin Heng increasingly understood why the Heaven-Reaching Talisman was listed alongside Dragon and Tiger Mountain's Golden Light Spell and Qingcheng Mountain's Qi Body Origin Flow.

Say nothing else, just imagine tossing out a few hundred talismans in a battle against an opponent.

How would you deal with that?

Of course, with Lin Heng's current cultivation, he can at most draw about a dozen at a time.

But he was not discouraged; it's just a matter of eliminating more evil spirits and raising his realm.

With this thought, Lin Heng became more eager for Yan Tong to come over soon.

But what he did not expect was, before Yan Tong arrived, a large group of incense burners was already on their way.

...

The mountain morning dew was cold, and beneath the misty mountain base, crowds gradually emerged.

Unlike the last two days, where there were mostly young people.

Today, older generations were significantly present, and their steps were even more agile than the young, competing fiercely, displaying a market-like rush for vegetables.

"No one better try to take the first incense stick from me!"

"Get aside, old man, I'll hold her back, you hurry up!"

"It's my first time at Qingfeng Temple, I must get the first incense stick!"

"Charge!!!"

Seeing the crazed seniors, the young ones were left dumbfounded.

"Wait, what's the big deal about getting the first incense stick?"

"Being the first to run up to the Daoist Temple, is there even a reward?"

Many young people were filled with confusion.

Someone knowledgeable explained: "Sigh, it's a custom from temple worship."

"There's this saying about getting the first incense stick at temples, that whoever worships first each day will receive the Buddha's favor, thus greater blessings!"

"Ah?"

"Is there really such a saying?"

Some young people who had never been to a temple showed surprised expressions, with someone unable to resist his curiosity asking:

"Is there such a custom at Daoist Temples too? Does it really have an effect?"

The warm-hearted person shook their head with a laugh and said, "Daoist Temples don't have such customs, Daoists are quite aloof, they don't care if you burn incense or not."

"As for whether the first incense stick has an effect, that we don't know either."

"However, because of this say, temple incense burners are often more enthusiastic than those at Daoist Temples!"

"If you have someone in your family who worships at temples, you'd notice they often get up at three or four in the morning to offer incense!"

"Not to mention, indeed, my grandmother often waits at the temple before dawn, turns out it's related to this!" Many young people showed a look of sudden realization.

Some highly educated people secretly clicked their tongues; this concept of the first incense stick was truly an excellent means to boost believers' enthusiasm!

The Buddhist Sect certainly had its merits!

"But, so what?"

"I still prefer Daoism's free spirit, though many Daoists aren't very social and have quite a temper, but on the bright side, it proves they're genuinely indifferent to something like incense money..."

Many young people laughed, their gaze towards the Daoist Temple on the mountain growing increasingly approving.

Meanwhile, at the rear of the crowd, the interview team from Chang City's television station was also making their way up the mountain, following the incense burners' footsteps.

Wearing a professional OL outfit, the host Xiao Yu was introducing herself to the camera.

"Hi everyone, I'm your host Xiao Yu. I believe everyone has already heard about the recent deeds of a Daoist from Chang City capturing demons and exorcising evil in the past few days."

"And today, I will be representing our city's TV station to conduct a face-to-face interview with that miraculous Daoist."

"If anyone has any questions, feel free to leave them on the screen."

"Perhaps later, I'll help you ask the Daoist!"

With a bright smile, host Xiao Yu felt very excited at the thought of meeting the young Daoist soon.
