Master Lin's disdainful gaze gradually turned serious.
Those who don't know anything about this wouldn't know at all; there's no way Mingluo was told this beforehand. It could only be that Mingluo figured it out herself.
Master Zhao's eyes lit up, and his gaze toward Mingluo was filled with intense inquiry. This gaze was so intense that Nie Yuchen noticed it. He glanced at Master Zhao with displeasure and issued a warning without making a sound.
Master Zhao closed his eyes, and his fingers involuntarily touched the bracelet on his wrist, playing with it.
Nie Yuchen snorted inwardly and looked at Mingluo.
At this moment, Mingluo clearly appears to be a young woman, but the occasional glint of cunning in her innocent face makes it seem as if she is deliberately provoking these three old men in order to benefit herself.
Was she setting a trap for these three masters?
A thought suddenly flashed through Nie Yuchen's mind, instantly waking him up as he watched the back-and-forth action on the field with great interest.
Mingluo is clearly not someone to be trifled with.
A mischievous smile flashed across her eyes, but her face remained radiant with confidence.
"As I just said, the Four Fiends Position and the Four Yin Formation are not too difficult for me. If you want to see how to drive away the Four Fiends, how about we make a bet? If I can really drive away the Four Fiends, the three seniors will each give me something. How about it?"
Master Lin still didn't believe it. He mocked, "These young people nowadays, they all talk a good game, but when it comes to actually doing it, they chicken out. I'll bet you, if you can really drive away the Four Fiends, I'll give you something, and I can guarantee it will be something good."
Minglu stared at his pocket, where she sensed something with extremely rich spiritual energy.
She was very satisfied and nodded with a smile, "Okay, it's a deal then."
Master Gu felt it was inappropriate, but seeing that Nie Yuchen himself didn't stop it and was even quite protective of the girl, he didn't say anything more and agreed.
"Sure, if you can really do that, I can give you something you can use on a daily basis. Old Zhao, what about you?"
Master Zhao, who had been silent all along, was called upon, and he finally spoke, "Okay! How do you make the judgment?"
“Simple!” Mingluo said calmly. “You are all experts in mystical arts. You can sense whether something has been driven away or not just by sensing it.”
"Alright!" Master Lin eagerly replied, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"
Mingluo smiled slightly, her eyes as cold as frost, and said calmly, "I need to borrow your talismans."
Master Lin laughed in exasperation, "You came here without bringing anything, yet you dare to ward off bad luck."
Master Gu also smiled.
He reached into his chest and pulled out several talismans. He also thoughtfully gave Mingluo his usual cinnabar and brush.
Mingluo was quite satisfied with everything she saw, and gave the old man surnamed Gu a perfect score, considering it a favor she owed him, which she would definitely repay in the future.
She awkwardly picked up the brush, dipped it in vermilion, and began to paint.
She rarely used these things; in fact, she almost never used them.
In the realm of gods, her weapons are knives, swords, and whips; she would never use such a niche magical artifact as a pen.
Furthermore, she draws talismans using spiritual power; who uses a brush and cinnabar?
Therefore, she was not used to using these two things.
Moreover, she didn't have enough spiritual power to draw a complete talisman, so she could only improve and enhance the existing talismans.
Fortunately, Master Gu was a kind old man, and the talisman he gave Mingluo was full of spiritual energy, which meant he must have put a lot of effort into drawing it.
Mingluo took a stroke.
Master Lin hissed, his face full of regret. He helplessly tugged at Master Gu and complained, "Why did you give it to her? Look, with one stroke, a perfectly good talisman has been ruined. And look at the way she holds the pen, it doesn't look like she's studying at all. Sigh, you've lost out this time. These talismans could easily fetch tens of thousands of yuan each, and you've ruined them like this."
"Say less." Master Gu was also rendered speechless by him.
Only Master Zhao's eyes gleamed with a burning light. He stood up and leaned closer to see how Mingluo was drawing, his shock growing ever stronger.
He even reached out to touch the talisman, but Nie Yuchen firmly gripped his wrist.
Nie Yuchen wore a warm smile, but his words carried a distant and cold tone.
"Master Zhao, what's wrong?"
He couldn't explain what was going on, but he felt that Master Zhao, who had been silent all along, was unusually interested in Mingluo.
Mingluo was brought here by him, and she absolutely cannot be bullied here.
Master Zhao looked at Nie Yuchen, the fervent infatuation in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by the appreciation and affection an elderly person might have for a young man.
He exclaimed, "This talisman is truly well-drawn. I haven't seen a talisman with such abundant spiritual energy in many years. The younger generation is truly formidable."
"Old Zhao, are you talking nonsense?" Master Lin also stood up to look at the talisman, but he couldn't figure out what it was about.
However, talismans are not his forte; his forte is understanding directions.
Looking at Mingluo's talisman, he felt that Mingluo's drawing was quite ugly just now, and it was only now beginning to take shape. However, it was still not as good as Master Gu's drawing. Judging from Mingluo's strenuous appearance, she was clearly a primary school student who had just learned to write.
Master Gu also stood up.
Master Zhao is a descendant of Master Zhao of Longhu Mountain. Their lineage has reached the pinnacle of skill in making talismans, which is beyond the reach of others. Master Zhao himself said it was good, so it must indeed be well drawn.
He had only taken a few steps when he immediately felt a rich spiritual energy, even richer than the spiritual energy he felt in his own secluded place of cultivation.
He almost thought it was his imagination.
But soon, he realized that the spiritual energy came from Mingluo, from the hand that held the pen.
"Little girl, you..."
"Shh!" Minglu put her hand to her lips, signaling Master Gu to be quiet.
The spiritual energy in this world is scarce. The spiritual energy on her body is a wisp of spiritual energy carried by her soul. This wisp of spiritual energy is equivalent to the power she has cultivated in this world for a hundred years.
But this is her secret, and she can't let anyone know it.
Master Gu seems to be a decent person so far, and Mingluo doesn't mind him knowing about it, but there's no need to spread it around.
She put away the pen and cinnabar, picked up the talisman paper, and shook it to remove the excess cinnabar.
She glanced at Master Lin with a slight narrowing of her eyes, then smiled calmly and said, "Now I'm going to use talismans to force out the four evil spirits. Listen carefully and don't make a sound."
As she spoke, she forced out a wisp of spiritual fire with her spiritual power, and used that fire to ignite the talisman. The talisman immediately floated in the air and burst into flames, which engulfed it.
A cold smile crept across Mingluo's lips. "Go!"
As if in response to her words, a storm of spiritual energy quickly swept through the room, unleashing a torrent of energy that swept across the entire space. Soon, everyone heard a strange noise...
