Chapter 382: Burning Feather Talisman
"Xiao Man, Xiao Man, look at this talisman of mine. Why can't I draw it? I feel like I'm just a little bit short of it."
As expected, Wu Shuangxue didn't stay still for a quarter of an hour. She couldn't help twisting on the stool in distress and turned to look at Lin Xiaoman.
"Which symbol?"
Lin Xiaoman looked over and after watching her draw it once, he discovered that there was a problem in her drawing process. She used too much spiritual power, which resulted in unevenness. In the end, the talisman could not even reach the last step and spontaneously combusted.
Speaking of this, she didn't know why. At first, she even thought that all talisman masters were like this, but later she found that not everyone seemed to have this ability.
That is, after she watched other people draw talismans, of course, their level could not be higher than hers, but were lower than hers or similar. As long as she watched the whole process, she could see the reasons for the other party's failure and the problems that existed.
The same was true when she drew talismans herself. After each failure, she would summarize the reasons for the failure, make improvements, draw again, and make more changes. Therefore, she was always faster in learning new talismans.
Of course, in her own opinion, this speed was not fast. It was only after she came to the Jinwu clan and took a few communication classes that she discovered the difference, so she stopped coming later.
What Wu Shuangxue drew was a high-level earth-grade talisman of the Golden Crow clan, a kind of talisman that Lin Xiaoman had never seen before, called the Burning Feather Talisman.
It is a fire-type talisman with very strong attack power. It is also the exclusive talisman of the Golden Crow clan. Because it is related to the feathers on their bodies, it has always been the exclusive talisman of the Golden Crow clan. Only they can draw it and only they can use it.
After listening to Wu Shuangxue's introduction to the information about the Burning Feather Talisman, Lin Xiaoman pondered for a while, asked her to continue painting, stared at it closely, and whispered.
"While you're here, reduce your spiritual power by about one-fifth, then slowly reduce it until it reaches half, and then slowly increase it again until you reach full strength."
When Lin Xiaoman was drawing the Burning Feather Talisman with Wu Shuangxue, she had already separated the strokes of the talisman in her mind. This was also a skill she acquired after memorizing some of the talisman strokes in her mind. She could separate many talismans, and after understanding each stroke, it would be much easier to draw them.
"Huh? Am I using my spiritual power incorrectly?"
Wu Shuangxue suddenly realized, nodded, and then began to control her spiritual power to paint according to what Lin Xiaoman said. Although she did not succeed this time, she could only paint halfway before, but this time she could paint two-thirds.
"Wow, Xiaoman, it really works. You are so amazing."
Lin Xiaoman took a look, smiled, and motioned for her to continue.
Then she continued to comprehend the strokes of her talisman, and subconsciously returned to the Burning Feather Talisman. The talisman pen in her hand moved and she began to draw the Burning Feather Talisman. Her steps and strokes were all correct, but she failed at the last step every time.
Um?
Could it be because this thing requires the spiritual power of the Wuyu tribe? The spiritual power of the demon tribe is different from that of human cultivators.
She tilted her head in distress and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out. Just then, Wu Shuangxue came to ask her questions about the talisman, so she went to watch Wu Shuangxue draw the talisman. In the middle of the process, other demon cultivators from the Golden Crow clan came to ask questions, so she had no time to study.
The morning passed quickly. What Lin Xiaoman didn't expect was that the information she got from a group of people from the Jinwu tribe who came to ask her about drawing talismans was connected together, allowing her to see the key points of the Burning Feather Talisman.
After returning home, Lin Xiaoman stared at the strokes of the Burning Feather Talisman that she had separated, thinking about how to inject the spiritual power of the Golden Crow Clan into them. Well, there was one most important question, which was how to obtain the spiritual power of the Golden Crow Clan.
In the next few days, Lin Xiaoman stayed in the house to study this matter. She definitely could not get the spiritual power of the Golden Crow Clan. The most she could do was borrow some from Wu Yu for temporary use. But she had to find a way to successfully draw the Burning Feather Talisman without using the spiritual power of the Golden Crow Clan.
"Here, I got a few beads to store spiritual energy. You can use them."
When Wu Yu heard Lin Xiaoman say that he wanted to use his spiritual power to test the talisman, he readily agreed.
"Thank you. I'll give you a talisman when I figure it out."
"Hahahaha, then I'm making money."
Wu Yu laughed, waved his hand and turned to leave. He still had a mission to complete. No matter whether the clan leader would agree to let him stay here or not, he would complete the mission to earn points and exchange them for martial arts.
Lin Xiaoman used Wu Yu's spiritual power beads to draw the Burning Feather Talisman, and it really had some effect. However, it was not easy to control the spiritual power in the beads. After several beads were used up, Lin Xiaoman still had not figured it out thoroughly, but she thought she could try other methods.
The spiritual power of the Jinwu clan's demon cultivators is mainly fire-based. If she uses more fire-based spiritual power when drawing the talisman, will it work?
But how can this be done?
After much thought, Lin Xiaoman still had no results and continued to attend the communication class. Wu Shuangxue found a seat next to her and sat down so that she could see how the other person drew the Burning Feather Talisman.
"How is it? Have you finished drawing your Burning Feather Talisman?"
"Not yet. How can it be that fast? But I have made some progress. Following the method you mentioned, I can now draw to the last step. It's just that the last stroke never works."
Wu Shuangxue shook her head helplessly. She was already familiar with this situation. It was always like this when she learned new talismans in the past. Every time she reached the final stage, she had to endure for a long time.
Lin Xiaoman watched Wu Shuangxue draw the Burning Feather Talisman for a long time, thought about it for a while, and tried it herself, but it still didn't work. However, she had an idea. If there was an intermediary that could convert her spiritual power into fire spiritual power, and then use this spiritual power to draw the Burning Feather Talisman, would it be possible?!
But how do I get this intermediate?
She later studied it for a while and found that she couldn't do it no matter what she did. She could only use the spiritual power of the Jinwu tribe's demon cultivators, or find an intermediary to convert the spiritual power to try. So she had no choice but to give up. However, whenever she came across a talisman drawn by the Jinwu tribe that interested her, she would subconsciously disassemble the strokes and write down the styles of those talismans for future use.
Lin Xiaoman went to the communication class every three days, and gradually resumed her contact with the talisman masters of the Jinwu tribe. They became much more familiar with each other, and the days passed quickly. Although she often went to the communication class, Lin Xiaoman also used this period of time to draw talismans and comprehend the talisman strokes. Most of the other time was used for cultivation at home, using the Yangshen Wood to cultivate her spiritual power.
Both cultivation and mental strength progressed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the one-year period was up, and it was time for human cultivators to leave the demon clan. Lin Xiaoman and Wu Yu were determined to stay, and they prepared to see everyone off.
After leaving the clan territory, they headed straight for the Demon City. When they arrived outside the city gate, Chen Shuyan and his group were already there.
"Shu Yan."
Lin Xiaoman quickened her pace and rushed over, but suddenly her eyes blurred and she was stopped by someone. Her face changed slightly and she quickly stepped back. At the same time, Chen Shuyan and Wu Yu both stepped forward to resist.
