Chapter 74: A Talisman Practitioner’s Challenges

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Elderly Lady Qiao was quite angered this time and felt like she had lost all of her face in front of the whole village, so after she was lifted home, she crumbled onto her bed and fell ill.

Meanwhile, as Qiao Mu flipped through the family division documents, there was a faint trace of a smile on her lips.

After covering the document well, Qiao Mu took out the gold-beaded talisman pen that she snatched from her apparition and laid the 30 talisman papers that Brother Xiao Hu newly bought for her in front of her. She took a deep breath, eliminated all her stray thoughts, and concentrated her attention. Then, she silently recited the mind technique for the beginner-level talisman method, and her hand followed the finger gestures that she learned from the Golden Talisman Jade Tome; afterward, she became engrossed in drawing talismans.

Earlier in Hulan Mountain, she had exhausted all of the strength talismans and speed talismans that she had, so she must replenish them.

Thankfully, she was so familiar with drawing strength and speed talismans that she could do it with her eyes closed; therefore, she finished drawing 10 strength and speed talismans each in less than an hour. What astonished her was the faint blue glow that emitted from the paper when she drew her last strength talisman and speed talisman.

It was different from the faint yellow glow that emitted from her other 18 talismans. These two talismans were encased in a blue glow.

Qiao Mu naturally did not understand its cause, so she could only think of a solution in a pinch and release her mystic conscious into her conscious to check in the Golden Talisman Jade Tome.

The originally rolled second jade slip flew toward her and suddenly transformed into a thin and large golden tome before her eyes.

The pages of the tome were very wide, and every character in it was about the size of a fist. They shakily jumped and floated in front of her.

In truth, when she first opened the Golden Talisman Jade Tome, a large amount of information had already rushed into her mind, but she had a feeling that releasing her mystic conscious in here to flip through the tome would be faster than blindly searching for information inside her mind.

After all, she did not know where to start at all and cluelessly searching for some unknown information felt extremely exhausting.

Currently, her apparition was currently squatted on the ground while hugging the golden tome. Qiao Mu’s lips slightly twitched as she ignored the dolt and swiftly swept her mystic conscious over the content of the second jade slip.

According to the tome, there were four grades of talismans: normal-grade yellow talismans, fine-grade blue talismans, supreme-grade purple talismans, and divine-grade gold talismans.

And the two strength and speed talismans with a blue grow that she just drew were considered fine-grade blue talismans. Blue talismans were of much higher quality than yellow talismans, its talisman strength was double that of a yellow talisman.

The strength of a talisman directly affected the effective time of a talisman as well.

Blue talismans were double the effective time of yellow talismans. In other words, a talisman that could originally last only 5 minutes could now last at least 10 minutes after its upgrade.

While the demand for quality was not apparent in beginner-level talismans, once a practitioner reached intermediate-level and advanced-level talismans, the time-doubling advantage in high-quality talismans would become clear as day.

What was comical was that this tome also said a talisman practitioner encounters challenges unfathomable by the world on their journey. The sole feat of drawing fine-grade blue talismans would exhaust a large amount of time, energy, and money, as well as require at least three years of practical training before a talisman practitioner could manage to barely draw a few blue talismans.

Hence, she—someone who had not drawn more than 100 talismans in her life—really hit the jackpot and suddenly managed to draw blue talismans?

What three years! She had not been drawing for three days! What was more bizarre was that she felt an indescribable fluidity when she held the pen in her hand. Even if she was a bit unaccustomed in the beginning, she managed to regain that familiar feeling after drawing less than 10 talismans! Heh, it was like she had practiced it a thousand times and drawn a million talismans before.

Her mystic conscious was about to withdraw from the tome when the golden tome transformed back into a jade slip and returned to its original location. Several talisman papers floated from the air like before. Qiao Mu drew back from her conscious and pulled the new talisman papers out to take a look. They were new demonstrative beginner-level talismans.
