Yan Luo immediately flashed into the room, and Meng Yao did not insist, but reminded, "You can come in, but don't make any noise or abuse the breath to interfere with Zhang Yan."
Zhang Yan found the room was empty with only three or five stone tables. He knew the tables were used to depict spiritual patterns. There were a lot of mysterious and textured spiritual patterns on the walls. Besides Meng Yao, there existed an old man with white hair and beard and a pair of flashing eyes, which indicated his cultivation must be high.
He was lying on a large chair with a book of the spirit tattooing skills in his hand. When Zhang Yan came in, he put down the book, smiled and looked at Zhang Yan, "You are the young boy named Zhang Yan whom Yaoer mentioned just now?"
"She mentioned me?" Zhang Yan asked in confuse. After all, it was the first time they met each other and why did Meng Yao mention him?
Meng Yao got red and quickly explained, "I'm just curious why you can become a friend of Yan Luo, who looked down on everyone, so I mentioned you to my grandpa that you must be special."
Zhang Yan laughed out loud, "I really have something special, that is, I am not a disciple of a big family. I am only a warrior who wanders around the world, so I can be friends with Bro Yan Luo."
Yan Luo echoed, "I don't like those sons of the big families, or the so-called genius disciples of the big schools. They are all glamorous on the surface, but filthy at private. I refuse to be with them. On the contrary, Zhang Yan, such a frank person is the one to be my friend."
"Well, let's start the test." The old man said and pointed to one of the stone table, "As long as you can depict any kind of spiritual pattern, you can become a spirit tattooist. Of course, your grade is also calculated according to the level of the spirit pattern you engraved. You can start now."
Zhang Yan looked at the empty stone table and uttered in embarrassment, "I haven't prepared the materials yet. Can I buy some now?"
Meng Yao replied with a smile, "Of course, what kind of materials do you want? I will prepare them for you."
He came up with the materials that needed by one of the most common seen Elixir Pattern and its principle was similar to the Increasing Pattern that Zhang Yan had depicted before. But the difference was that the latter could take work on more things than the former.
He did not come here to be famous, but to get a badge of spirit tattooist. So, he didn't concern about the level and chose a simplest pattern.
Meng Yao took out the materials he needed with a smile, "I have these materials, you can use them."
"Thank you!" Zhang Yan took over the materials.
Meng Yao shook his head and joked, "No need to say thanks. Just don't forget to pay me a lower spiritual stone."
"Then how about I giving the spiritual pattern for you as payment?"
"In this way, I'll earned a lot! But I don't know if you can succeed?" Meng Yao replied in curiosity and expectation.
Her doubts were reasonable. After all, Zhang Yan was too young. Although she did not ask about his age, at first glance, she knew that he was at most 18 years old. How could he become a spirit tattooist at such a young age? In the Fengdu City, only she could be a spirit tattooist at the age of 18 due to her king-level spiritual root. Moreover, her family was famous for spirit tattooing, so her soul energy was much higher than the ordinary warriors.
However, this Zhang Yan made her puzzled. Why he was so confident in the test. It was normal for most people to take the test many times to be successful. But this Zhang Yan seemed to be relaxed.
He stood by the stone table, began to grind and fuse these materials into liquid, and took out his spirit tattooing pen to dip in. Meanwhile, he mobilized the soul energy to wrap the liquid on the nib, so that it would not drip down.
"Such powerful soul energy!" The old man and Meng Yao were both shocked by Zhang Yan's action. Although he didn't make strange moves, with simply a pen, his ability to control the soul energy was revealed, which surprised the two beside him. After all, they did not expect that such a young man would have such a strong soul energy.
Zhang Yan's next move made them even more shocked. He quickly swung the pen on the paper smoothly and fast, as if to write a word on a plain white paper, which seemed easy.
Then he stopped, looked at the Elixir Pattern he had inscribed and nodded with satisfaction, "Though the first time, such simple pattern is easy to depict."
"The first time?" The old man enlarged his eyes unbelievingly, "It's your first time to inscribe the Elixir Pattern?"
Zhang Yan nodded. "Yes, and fortunately I did not fail. Can I become a spirit tattooist now?" He handed over the Elixir Pattern.
