Ji Yun was a little flustered. He had been caught off guard and suddenly said such a thing. He quickly pulled Yue Xi back.
"Yuexi, please stop. I was just joking. Fairy Yue is so beautiful, she shouldn't expose me, right? Fairy Yue is so cute, she definitely wouldn't do such a thing."
Yuexi was stunned by what she was told, and grumbled, "If you talk nonsense again next time, I'll tell Master, and... in broad daylight, you're pulling and tugging at me, so let go."
"It's okay, they all know." Ji Yun continued to hold her little hand.
"Them? Who knows?" Yuexi was a little flustered. Who saw them? Should she kill them?
Seeing Ji Yun smile without saying a word, she said coquettishly, "You're still smiling. Tell me quickly, who knows? We can't let him falsely accuse someone of being innocent."
"Your senior sister."
"Senior Sister?"
“She secretly saw us when we were hugging her.”
"You...you're still hugging me? I'm too ashamed to face anyone. I want to go back."
As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, Yuexi wanted to turn back.
Ji Yun pulled her back: "It's okay, we're completely innocent."
Are we completely innocent?
What do you think?
"Yes, we are just ordinary friends, completely innocent, and have a clear conscience."
The two immediately took to the air on their swords and headed towards the main peak—Lingyun Peak.
Ji Yun is no longer so nervous standing behind Yue Xi. His cultivation level is still low, and he cannot fly yet. He just doesn't dare to look down.
When I was a kid, I climbed a tree to raid a bird's nest. On my way down, I broke a branch and fell from a height of several meters. Luckily, the ground was soft soil with no sharp objects, or I would have been dead. My two friends who were with me were terrified.
Since then, Ji Yun has developed acrophobia. She no longer dares to raid bird nests and dreams of falling from heights every time she sleeps.
The square is located in the very center of the main peak, and the surrounding areas are the residences and training grounds for the disciples.
As I passed through the square, I happened to see the Seventh Elder teaching several Foundation Establishment stage disciples.
Yuexi bowed and said, "Seventh Elder!"
The Seventh Elder nodded and smiled, "Yuexi, you are now at the Nascent Soul stage, and my cultivation is not much higher than yours, so there's no need to be so polite."
Yuexi said shyly, "Yuexi wouldn't presume to ask. Seventh Elder, do you know where Senior Sister Lanlan is?"
"I just finished discussing matters with the sect leader. When I came back, I saw her in the administration room arranging training for the new disciples. You can go and take a look."
After saying that, he continued to teach his disciples, showing no intention of greeting Ji Yun.
The two arrived at the administration office and saw Senior Sister Lanlan handing over tasks to several disciples.
Upon seeing their arrival, she exclaimed with delight, "Yuexi, Senior Ji, you've come!"
Ji Yun smiled and said, "Lan Lan, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Fellow Daoist Ji."
“This…” Lan Lan hesitated.
"Oh dear, my master is here to learn talismans from you, so you can address each other as fellow Daoists."
Yuexi took Lanlan's hand and explained the situation to her.
"I see. Fellow Daoist Ji, please come in." Lan Lan invited Ji Yun into the room.
"Let me explain the basics of talismans to you first." Lan Lan took out some blank talisman paper and cinnabar ink.
"Talismans are made using cinnabar ink and specific strokes and patterns. They possess special energy and effects, such as attack, defense, healing, and sealing. Drawing talismans requires mastering certain brush techniques, composition, spirit, and the application of spiritual power. Try drawing a simple amulet on this talisman paper."
Lan Lan handed Ji Yun a talisman and a pen.
Ji Yun took the paper and pen, took a deep breath, and began to try drawing according to Lan Lan's instructions.
However, his hands were unruly, the lines were crooked and completely lacking in beauty.
"You look awful, like a caterpillar," Yuexi commented.
"I'm just getting started. Everything takes time to learn from beginner to expert." Ji Yun was not discouraged at all.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few more practice sessions," Lan Lan patiently comforted her. "Why don't you take a look at how I draw it?"
She demonstrated it herself, and the lines she drew were smooth and natural, and the runes were lively and spirited.
Ji Yun carefully observed Lan Lan's movements, secretly noting down every detail.
Ji Yun picked up her pen again, carefully recalling Lan Lan's demonstration, and meticulously sketched the lines. This time, her performance was better than before, but it was still not perfect.
"Take your time, don't rush," Lan Lan encouraged softly.
Watching Ji Yun meticulously drawing talismans on the table, appearing extremely serious, she felt that her junior sister Yuexi was a very capable master, learning things without being impatient or impetuous, and with a calm and peaceful mind.
After many attempts, Ji Yun finally drew a reasonably decent talisman.
"It's passable. This amulet is a bit lacking; it can be broken with bare hands, but it's still pretty good," Yuexi commented with an air of authority.
Ji Yun's smile vanished. If Lan Lan hadn't been there, he would definitely have taught this fairy a lesson.
Lan Lan pulled Yue Xi aside and whispered, "Junior Sister Yue Xi, although your master treats you very well, you should still respect your master. How can you speak like that?"
Yuexi: "......"
Dozens of blank talisman papers were used.
Ji Yun gradually mastered the skills of drawing talismans, and the runes he drew became more and more exquisite.
Ji Yun wearily put down his pen, looking at the talismans he had drawn, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He looked at Lan Lan gratefully and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Lan Lan. I feel that I have made a lot of progress."
Lan Lan smiled and shook her head, saying, "This is all the result of your own hard work. You have great talent. Take these talisman papers back and practice, as well as this basic 'Talisman Drawing Method' book."
Lan Lan handed him a booklet and continued, "Drawing talismans is not just about technique, but more importantly, about the integration of mind and intention. Only when minds are in sync can truly powerful talismans be drawn."
Ji Yun nodded thoughtfully, understanding the deeper meaning behind it.
After all, many books have mentioned this, and some even say that drawing talismans with one's own soul blood is extremely effective, but it severely damages the soul.
On their way back, they planned to go to Tianxin City to exchange for some cultivation resources. They were exhausted after each soul drawing, and without pills, they would need time to recover, which Ji Yun couldn't wait for.
The two had just left the sect when they encountered Zuo Xintao. Yuexi excitedly went over and hugged her master's arm.
Zuo Xintao said with a serious expression, "We just discussed that this time the ten immortal sects will unite with the entire righteous sects to besiege the demonic path. Yu Xingzhi and I from our sect will go."
Yuexi said with some worry, "Master, why don't I go in your place? You're at the sect..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Xintao interrupted him, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you even know how to lead a team? Don't think you're so great just because you've reached the Nascent Soul stage. Do you even know what the battlefield situation is like?"
