[Congratulations to the quest taker! You have now reached the early stage of Talisman Apprentice, officially entering the realm of talisman cultivation.]

[The puppet's usage time depends on the strength of the mission taker's soul power. It is estimated that your current soul power allows you to control the puppet for 4 hours, with its range of movement increased to 20 meters.]

The true system's voice rang in her ears, timely explaining Jia Xitong's doubts.

Wow!

She knew she had become stronger!

"What is a Talisman Apprentice? Is it similar to a Martial Apprentice?"

The levels of talisman cultivators are similar to those of martial arts cultivators.

"Who is stronger, a talisman cultivator or a martial arts cultivator at the same stage?"

Due to various factors, a comparison is not possible.

"OK."

Jia Xitong automatically assumed that she was more capable.

After all, the talisman she drew had killed a martial arts master!

Shang Yanting was almost beaten to death, and even if he learned the technique, he couldn't sell it for money.

The talisman cultivator wins decisively!

Jia Xitong was overjoyed, feeling once again that she was destined to become a protagonist like Long Aotian.

##

The benefits of becoming a talisman apprentice, which had been hidden for so long, are finally being revealed one by one.

The most crucial element, of course, is drawing talismans.

In the past, Jia Xitong always felt a kind of inexplicable blockage whenever she drew talismans. No matter how skilled she was at drawing talismans, her success rate in creating talismans was only one percent.

However, this time, even though she had only just begun practicing, she had already drawn a successful Sumeru talisman within a hundred sheets.

After countless practices, this success rate has increased to one in eighty.

Of the more than 800 talismans in total, she successfully drew 9 Sumeru Talismans!

"Dear host, congratulations on successfully collecting the Dark Mace Mystic Paper and Wenyao Fish Blood."

You are now rewarded with 2 upgraded versions of the "Migration Talisman".

The fake system, in a good mood, once again demonstrated its generosity to its host.

"You upgraded?"

"Yeah."

Jia Xitong controlled the raccoon to express her excitement, "Thanks to the host's active completion of the task, the talisman's function has received an initial upgrade. The host's current trust value is 62, keep up the good work!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting's expression became somewhat strange, and he then closed his eyes, refusing to answer any questions about trust.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Xitong heard the system voice constantly ringing in her mind.

[Please note that the male lead's trust level has decreased by 1; current trust value is 61/100]

[Please note that the male lead's trust level has decreased by 1; current trust level is 60/100]

...

Hearing the trust level keep decreasing, Jia Xitong was dumbfounded.

Just when she thought the love was about to disappear, her trust level started to rise again.

[Congratulations to the quest taker for gaining 2 points of trust from the male lead. Current trust value: 55/100]

[Congratulations to the mission participant for gaining 2 points of trust from the male lead. Current trust value: 57/100]

...

[Congratulations to the mission participant for gaining 2 points of trust from the male lead. Current trust value: 63/100]

It fluctuated, eventually increasing by 1 point compared to the original.

She glanced at the seemingly indifferent and focused male lead, wondering how many rich inner monologues he had performed in just two minutes.

Jia Xitong climbed onto the bed and manipulated the raccoon to squat beside him.

Looking at his cold expression... oh well, it's not the first time.

The room fell into an unexpected silence for a while, until Jia Xitong started a new topic.

“Dear host.”

"Um."

"If you had something very precious and rare, would you choose to use it?"

"That depends on what you're going to use it for."

"Hmm... using it might yield a powerful talisman, or it might destroy it."

After she finished speaking, Shang Yanting immediately realized that she was referring to the Unpredictable Secret Herb and the Unpredictable Silver Fish Fin Ink.

These things were so tempting to her, both physically and emotionally. But the thought of failure made her afraid of wasting them.

Paper and ink of the highest quality!

If she can't even draw a single talisman, I'll be heartbroken.

I'm so conflicted.

Jia Xitong started to feel conflicted after she finished drawing the talisman.

"If it were me, I would choose to give it a try."

After a moment's thought, Shang Yanting shared his opinion: "Even the best sculptor has a first time using the finest jade, and the most outstanding craftsman also has moments when he wastes exceptional materials. It is only useful when it can add value to you, whether it is the value of success or the value of failure."

These words gave Jia Xitong, who was wavering, a choice.

If the male protagonist fails to restore his foundation, it will be fatal.

She failed to make the talisman, but lost a few talisman papers.

Even a talisman cultivator is still a cultivator!

Opportunities and risks coexist.

One word: Do it!

##

Looking back on her talisman-making journey, she knows how to draw a total of four types of talismans.

Zhu Youfu

Explosion Talisman

Sumeru Talisman

Blindly going through the motions definitely won't work; choosing one type of talisman and sticking with it will greatly increase your chances of success.

Both the Unfixed Secret Herb and the Unfixed Silver Fish possess healing properties, and based on their characteristics, Jia Xitong chose the Incantation Talisman.

As the talismans that Jia Xitong has drawn tens of thousands of times, the Zhuyou talisman drawing method has long since become a form of limb memory.

Dipping the brush in ink made from Wuding silverfish, the brush moved much slower than usual.

The first one was ruined because I was nervous.

The second one was also ruined.

The third attempt was gradually getting better, but the feeling of blockage became even more pronounced when using rare and precious materials to draw the talisman. This one, like many others, was ultimately ruined.

...

She originally planned to try ten.

However, once you get the hang of this thing, it's like playing a video game—it's damn addictive!

Each failure fueled her competitive spirit; after passing the first level, she wanted to try the second, until she reached out again, and the feeling of hitting the bottom brought her back to her senses.
