The Great Freedom Celestial Demon earnestly advised, feeling that the young man in front of him was too ambitious. How long had it been, and he already wanted to learn the second talisman?

Does he really think he's an Innate Divine Being?

Not to mention him, even if a true Innate Divine Being were here, it would be utterly impossible to learn a talisman in such a short time!

Talismans are not so easy to learn!

"You don't need to worry about that, just teach me," Zhang Chen interrupted the Great Freedom Celestial Demon.

Hearing this, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon glanced at Zhang Chen with annoyance, but he didn't refute. Since Zhang Chen was adamant about learning the second talisman, it was his own precious time he was wasting. What did that matter to him? When the time slipped away, he'd be glad to see it. In his eyes, without ten or eight years, Zhang Chen couldn't hope to learn all the talismans.

He couldn't wait for Zhang Chen to waste his time and die having accomplished nothing.

In fact, to entice Zhang Chen into continuing to waste time researching talismans, he decided to make a small sacrifice and pass on something to him.

"I'm telling you, there are countless talismans in the world, and no one can know them all, because even the most advanced cultivator will always encounter talismans they have never seen. But I have a wonderful technique that allows you to deduce the function and order of the strokes of a talisman when you encounter a new one, giving you the means to research talismans. Do you want to learn?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon looked at Zhang Chen with eyes full of temptation.

"What do you want in return?" Zhang Chen asked, aware that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and the Great Freedom Celestial Demon would not kindly pass down the formula without some demands.

"How about you do something for me in the future? Of course, it will never be harmful to you," the Great Freedom Celestial Demon assured, "nor to anyone around you."

He feared that if he didn't set some conditions, this kid would be suspicious.

"Doing something for you isn't out of the question, but it can't be an utterly reprehensible act," Zhang Chen added.

The Great Freedom Celestial Demon nodded, casually acknowledging Zhang Chen's words, and then said to Zhang Chen, "In fact, distinguishing the stroke order of a talisman isn't difficult; it depends mainly on the control of magical power. Listen carefully now, I'll pass you a few lines of the formula."

Then the Great Freedom Celestial Demon began to recite the formula. It wasn't long, only seven lines, but it stunned Zhang Chen; not because it was too difficult, but because it was too simple.

"You think the formula is simple, right? But without someone to point out the key, you wouldn't be able to comprehend it, so it's not a loss for you," said the Great Freedom Celestial Demon.

"All talismans in the world have traces that can be followed. As long as you comprehend them according to my formula, no talisman in the world will be a secret to you," said the Great Freedom Celestial Demon.

After pondering the formula for a moment, Zhang Chen looked at the Upper Pure Handwriting, then slightly scrutinized it based on the formula provided by the Great Freedom Celestial Demon. After the time it takes to burn one stick of incense, Zhang Chen picked up a small stick and sketched a talisman on the yellow sand. The process of sketching the talisman was seamless, without the slightest hesitation, smooth as silk, and pleasing to the eyes.

"It actually works," Zhang Chen looked at the talisman he had sketched, his eyes revealing joy, realizing the Great Freedom Celestial Demon did have something noteworthy.

Then Zhang Chen repeatedly practiced on the yellow sand more than thirty times, and the next moment, the Golden Finger Interface popped up:

[New skill discovered, would you like to record it?]

"Record it," Zhang Chen said without hesitation.

[Skill 12 (Entry-level): Fire Extinguishing Rune (0/100)]

[Note 1: Can reduce the burning sensation of flames]

Zhang Chen looked at the newly developed talisman, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "It's actually a Fire Extinguishing Rune?"

"Not very useful, but better than nothing," Zhang Chen muttered.

He did not add points arbitrarily, instead turning over the Fire Extinguishing Rune to look at the next new talisman. There were still many talismans left, and he had to be frugal with his experience points, or it would be miserable if he encountered a useful talisman and couldn't upgrade it due to a lack of points.

An hour later, Zhang Chen developed another talisman:

[Skill 13 (Entry-level): Wind Stabilizing Rune (0/100)]

[Note 1: Fierce winds can only slightly ruffle your hair]

"Also a waste!" Zhang Chen shook his head and continued to flip through the fourth talisman.

An hour later, Zhang Chen developed another talisman:

[Skill 14 (Entry-level): Water Stabilizing Rune (0/100)]

[Note 1: The flow speed of water around you slows down to half]

"This is even more useless; I already have Water Control Technique, so what's the use of a Water Stabilizing Rune? The Water Stabilizing Rune is entirely pointless," Zhang Chen directly turned the page to look at the fifth talisman, and an hour later, Zhang Chen shook his head again:

"Also a waste talisman, not very useful to me."

[Skill 15 (Entry-level): Hard Earth Talisman (0/100)]

[Note 1: After using it, the ground under your feet becomes slightly hard, like a solidly grounded foundation]

"Earth, water, wind, and fire are all gathered." Zhang Chen glanced at the fifth talisman, chose not to add points, and directly flipped past it.

"Three hundred and sixty talismans left, would all of the next three hundred and sixty talismans be so wasteful?" Zhang Chen continued flipping the pages, fixing his gaze on the book. After half an hour, Zhang Chen shifted his gaze from the book, then picked up the stick and continuously sketched on the yellow sand. After practicing over thirty times, the Golden Finger in front of Zhang Chen finally changed:

[New skill discovered, would you like to record it?]

"Record it,"

Zhang Chen said.

[Skill 16 (Fragment): Unknown Talisman (1/3590000)]

"What is this?" Zhang Chen was dumbfounded as he looked at the Golden Finger Interface before him. An Unknown Talisman? And it's incomplete? Completing it requires 3,590,000 points.
