Chapter 35: Warm Talisman



When Ning Zhishui told her family about the skills she possessed, she did not mention making talismans, but in fact, she did know how to do it.

The reason she has so many skills is not because she is talented, but because of the advantages of her five spiritual roots.

Because he is proficient in the five elements, he is successful in learning skills and saves much more effort than others.

However, there is a similarity between the Five Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Father's Immortal Bone, that is, although the qualifications are good, they also need to be developed and guided to bring out their magical effects, otherwise they will only be mediocre and useless.

Daddy needs a spiritual object to stimulate his immortal bones, and the five spiritual roots of heaven require a corresponding set of exercises.

Apart from this set of skills, no matter how good other skills are, they will be of no help and are simply not enough to unleash the full power of the Five Spiritual Roots of Heaven.

However, this technique is of heavenly level, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to obtain it in their lifetime.

From this point of view, Ning Zhishui was much luckier than her father in her previous life. At least she obtained the martial arts skills by chance, while her father did not know the secret of the immortal bone and had never come into contact with any spiritual objects.

However, it is clear that the same thing will not happen again in this life.

Ning Zhishui held the pen at the desk, his slender fingers moving the pen tip, leaving intricate red marks on the talisman paper like a swimming dragon.

Runes are actually formations, but engraving a formation on a weapon and drawing a formation on talisman paper are two different things.

Ning Zhishui started by drawing runes of lower difficulty, just to practice.

After drawing two pictures, I found the feeling, so I started to draw the explosive fire talisman.

The Explosive Flame Talisman is an upgraded version of the Explosive Talisman. It has a better explosion effect, but the amount of spiritual energy used to draw it is the same.

Of course, the difficulty will be higher.

Although he had the ink card, Ning Zhishui didn't plan to spend it carelessly.

If you can make the elixir yourself, make it yourself, and the same goes for magic tools and talismans.

The "technology" in the world of immortal cultivation is quite valuable. Even if the material itself is only worth 10 crystals, if you find someone to customize it yourself, it will cost at least three times the price in labor fees.

The more advanced the item, the more expensive the labor cost will be.

When Ning Zhishui was the poorest in his previous life, he took on commissions for a period of time and made money by refining equipment for others.

Now when I think back to that time, it seems like it has long gone by. All the hard work has turned into the wealth of knowledge. Even if it is a different time, I will still be with her.

Her father told her when she was a child that people should learn more things, because only what is learned can not be taken away by others.

Now it seems that the truth is simple.

Drawing talismans also consumes spiritual energy. Ning Zhishui seems to eat elixirs as candy beans. When the spiritual energy is exhausted, he relies on elixirs to replenish it.

She didn't know how long she had been drawing, but there was already a thick stack of talismans on her desk.

Similarly, she also emptied a bottle of Huiling Pills.

But it doesn't matter. I can just refine it myself later. The cost will be much cheaper than buying the finished pills directly.

When I think about it this way, I really know how to live!

Just as I was about to put the talismans away in different categories, I heard someone knock on the door.

Ning Zhishui's first reaction was that his family had returned, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.

They are busy with their eldest brother's affairs, how could he come back suddenly?

If an accident happens, he will first inform himself using a sound transmission note.

Besides, even if they really came back for an urgent matter, according to their habit, they would knock on the door and call their names.

Now this person is just knocking on the door without making any sound, he definitely can't be a family member.

Ning Zhishui didn't say anything, just listened to the knock on the door.

After a moment, the man couldn't hold back his temper and uttered—

"Uncle Ning, are you home? I have something to talk to you about."

A deep voice belonging to a young man sounded, and it sounded somewhat familiar.

Ning Zhishui recognized that this was Aunt Fang's son, Niu Cheng.

Only then did she speak, "My father hasn't come back yet, please come back another day."

It's annoying to keep knocking on the door.

"Sister Zhishui? Can I borrow the insect trap?" Niu Cheng became excited when he heard someone was calling. "I need it urgently at home."

The insect lamp has crystals inside. It can burn all night, during which time all ordinary insects and ants around it will be killed.

Ineffective against monsters with certain ranks.

"No, you can borrow it from someone else."

Ning Zhishui said lazily.

She had no good feelings towards Aunt Fang's family. From top to bottom, they all liked to take advantage of others. She felt annoyed when she saw them.

If my parents were here, they might lend it to me out of neighborhood friendship, but Ning Zhishui... she wouldn't indulge them.

Anyway, she is "young", so it's okay for her to be a little willful.

"Sister Zhishui, please open the door first."

Niu Cheng shouted, knocking on the door as he shouted.

So annoying.

Ning Zhishui frowned, took two or three steps forward and opened the door, "Did I tell you, why are you yelling so late at night?"

It was dark by now, but it wasn't time to go to bed yet.

Ning Zhishui opened the door very skillfully, only opening a crack to reveal his head.

It is said that beauty is best seen under the lamp. There was a night-light lantern hanging in front of the Ning family's door. She stuck out her fair and beautiful face, which looked extremely delicate under the light, and then she looked directly at Niu Cheng.

Niu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually became hot.

The next moment, he reached out to push the door open. "Isn't Uncle Ning home? I just have something to say to him."

How could he hide his expression from Ning Zhishui?

In his previous life, Ning Zhishui had no chance to deal with Niu Cheng. He had only met him a few times with his family. They were familiar with each other, but they had never spoken alone.

All I knew from my impression was that Niu Cheng was not a decent person. I heard that he had even had affairs with the girls in brothels in the street. So when I learned that Niu Cheng was going to marry the daughter of the Chen family, I felt sorry for her.

But even though she had heard about it, Ning Zhishui still felt disgusted when she saw him with such a lustful look on his face.

Ning Zhishui pushed the door hard, causing Niu Cheng, who had put his hand in the crack of the door and was trying to force it open, to gasp in pain, "Ah—my hand!"

"Oh, did you pinch your hand? I'm so sorry."

Ning Zhishui blinked and opened the door a little, but the gap was only wide enough for him to put his hand in, not enough for anyone to come in.

She reached out and touched Niu Cheng's forearm as if she cared about him. Taking advantage of the sleeve, Niu Cheng, who was so focused on the pain, didn't notice a flash of spiritual light under his arm.

Isn’t this a coincidence? The hot talisman I just made comes in handy.

"No, it's okay... Sister Zhishui, are your family members not here? Are you alone?"

Niu Cheng stuck his head out to look inside, but could only see light in the front hall and no one else.

"How could that be? There are people there. I'm just eating fruit, so I'm closer." Ning Zhishui replied.

She probably knew why Niu Cheng dared to do this.

He must have seen his family members going out together, and he was the only one who didn't go.

Maybe because I was always keeping an eye on them and didn't see them come back, I guessed that I was the only one home at night.

What a beast! He was getting married soon, yet he dared to have evil thoughts towards a little girl like me?

"What kind of fruit is that? I'm a little thirsty and I want to try some."

Niu Cheng looked at Ning Zhishui and said with a smile, looking like a gentle older brother.
