Chapter 79: Learning Talismans
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He Qingge finished reading all the books on talismans and went to Qing Xuan Market to pick out the items needed to make talismans—talisman paper, spirit ink, and spirit brush.
These three items were essential for refining talismans.
He Qingge had only bought the cheapest things to practice when he was studying. He could only look at the expensive things.
There was no need for that now. The gains from Beacon City alone were enough for He Qingge to squander.
After choosing the best practice materials, he spread out the paper and poured out the spirit ink when he got home. Only then did he feel the difference.
First of all, the smoothness of the paper was completely incomparable to the one he bought during his previous practice.
The spiritual energy in the spirit ink was also far more uniform than the ink he had bought before.
He picked up his brush and started to draw the Cleaning Talisman that he had practiced the most on the paper.
This kind of talisman was the simplest talisman. At that time, he had spent a lot of effort, but he could only barely reach the basic level. He had no choice but to give up after consuming too much energy.
As for pill refinement and weapon refinement, he did not even dare to think about it. The cost far exceeded the cost for talisman refinement.
Soon, He Qingge felt that his painting was unusually smooth. He had never felt this way before.
Was this the difference in resources?
A Cleaning Talisman was drawn. Unfortunately, it still failed.
However, He Qingge felt he had done much better than before.
With his current comprehension, he could roughly tell what his mistake was.
The first thing was that the brush and ink were too heavy.
The second thing was that he drew relatively slow, causing the ink to stagnate.
The third thing was that his technique was a little stiff and awkward.
After practicing a few more times, he felt much better, and his improvement speed was very fast.
This was the feeling brought about by high comprehension.
In the past, he could not figure out where he had gone wrong for a long time, but now, he could discover the problems in an instant.
“Wouldn’t it be faster to find a teacher?” He Qingge pondered.
“Lil Butterfly, come with me to see the world. You have to balance work and rest in your studies.”
Lil Butterfly was speechless.
That was not what he had said before. He had asked it how it could waste time by sleeping, so it could only get up in shame and continue studying.
Could this be the so-called double standards too?
However, it still obediently flapped its wings and put down the pen in its hand.
Lil Butterfly was thinking that her master seemed to want to contract other spirit pets. At that time, could it become a supervisor and let its underling go through this bitter experience?
No, no, they should share and learn together. Only by working hard could one become stronger.
Lil Butterfly happily put down the pen in its hand and followed He Qingge while singing a leisurely tune.
Talisman Crafting Pavilion.
There was a place for teaching talisman-making in the Tian Xuan Sect. A small portion of the lessons could be given to the disciples of the sect for free. Servant disciples could not enjoy this free course, but outer sect disciples could.
Therefore, other than a few particularly lucrative servant positions, the other servant positions were basically incomparable to outer sect disciples.
This kind of invisible resource was really too precious. If one spent money to go to class, it would be too expensive.
When the gatekeeping disciple saw the token of a legacy disciple hanging on He Qingge’s waist, he immediately became much more respectful.
He Qingge found the most basic class and walked in. He was prepared to listen to the beginning and see if there was a difference from learning the art from books.
Several classrooms were already packed with people. “Master, there seems to be no more seats. ”
As soon as Lil Butterfly’s voice fell, someone turned around.
One of the disciples saw He Qingge, and his pupils contracted slightly. He immediately stood up.
“Senior, are you also here to listen to the lecture? It just so happens that I have a seat here. Why don’t you take it, Senior?” Zhu Huan smiled like a flower.
“Then what about you?” He Qingge asked.
“Senior, you must be joking. I just want to be friends with you.” Zhu Huan’s face stiffened slightly before he laughed.
“Is that so? Take this bottle of pills in exchange for your seat today.” He Qingge did not say anything more and took out a bottle of pills from his pocket.
“Thank you for your reward, Senior. I can come here every day to help you reserve a seat,” Zhu Huan said happily.
When the other disciples saw this scene, they all regretted not realizing that He Qingge was a legacy disciple.
Some of the disciples who had seen He Qingge’s disciple token in advance felt even more regretful.
Why were they not brave enough? This was an opportunity to befriend a legacy disciple, not to mention there was a reward to be earned.
A loud bell rang, and an old man appeared out of thin air at the front of the podium.
This old man was wearing a simple eight trigrams robe, but no one dared to underestimate him. Everyone sat down respectfully.
He Qingge was also a little surprised. The ability to appear out of thin air meant that he was at least a Golden Core Realm talisman master!
Did such a person really have the time to explain some basic talismans every day?
“Today, we’ll be learning the most basic content of the introduction of talismans.
“The first step is to identify and choose the talisman materials… “The second step is to skillfully draw the lines of the talisman…
“The third step is…”
The lesson was very organized. From the preparation work to the drawing work to the inspection of the drawing, all the points that needed to be paid attention to were covered—including how to identify the mistakes that appeared after one drew the talisman.
It was roughly the same as what was explained in the books. The only difference was that the form was clearer, allowing people to instantly understand it at a glance. It was not as obscure as what was explained in the book.
He Qingge instantly felt that his mind was clear after listening to the lecture. The steps that he had made a mistake in before were now much clearer. It seemed that there was a difference between having someone to teach him and not having anyone to do that.
The others in the classroom were a little dazed. They seemed to be deep in thought but also seemed to be in a daze.
Not everyone could hear it clearly and understand it. This required comprehension and one’s own experience in talisman creation.
He Qingge had also benefited from the Great Wisdom Scripture. The flickering of the Wisdom Scripture Divine Wheel had greatly improved his comprehension. Otherwise, it would have been almost impossible for him to understand all of his problems so quickly with his previous comprehension.
Looking at Lil Butterfly, who was also listening attentively on his shoulder, He Qingge was thinking about whether he could also train Lil Butterfly’s secondary profession.
Now that it could skillfully copy books, it should not be difficult for it to draw and create talismans!
It seemed that it could only suffer so that his beloved Lil Butterfly could strengthen itself.
Lil Butterfly had a bad premonition.
It felt its heart tighten.
The lecture lasted for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn. When it was over, the teacher did not say anything and disappeared into thin air. Even He Qingge did not have time to go up and talk to him.
“He is really free and easy…” He Qingge said helplessly.
“Is this talisman master the one who teaches the class every day?”
“Yes, it’s the same talisman master every day. The content is the same every day. It’s the master’s shadow that’s left on the Image Remnant Stone,” one of
the disciples hurriedly replied..
