The next day, Su Yao and the others arrived at the training ground early. They had heard from Elder Liu yesterday that they would learn the formation from Elder Wan today.
Su Yao and Ning Jing have always been very curious about the formation, so they are looking forward to Elder Wan coming over.
Elder Wan did not disappoint Su Yao and the others and came early.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see my Pozhen Peak."
The two of them followed and came to a house on Pozhen Peak. Inside the house, everything they needed had already been prepared.
Elder Wan didn't waste any time and began to explain to the two: "This is the spiritual paper needed for drawing talismans. It is made of special materials. It can withstand the spiritual power used when drawing talismans. Ordinary paper cannot withstand the spiritual power and will spontaneously combust."
"This is cinnabar. Cinnabar is used to better draw formation patterns on talisman paper. However, a true formation and talisman master can set aside external objects to complete the formation. Talismans are also formations. It's just that because the formation is engraved on talisman paper, it is more convenient to use. That's why it's called talismans. It's just to distinguish it from formations. There's no difference in essence."
"Today I will teach you how to draw short-distance teleportation talismans. I believe you will use them frequently in the future." After saying that, he took out two teleportation talismans from his storage bag and placed them on the table.
"First, carefully observe the patterns on this teleportation talisman and comprehend them carefully."
Su Yao and the other person carefully looked at the talisman paper in front of them.
After a while, Elder Wan asked, "Can you tell what it's called?"
Su Yao thought for a while and said, "Disciple found that the lines on this talisman seem to have different strengths in each place, and the strength in each place is different." After saying that, Su Yao stopped and looked at Ning Jing. She knew that Ning Jing must have a different opinion.
"Elder, I have also discovered that there are certain rules for drawing these lines. I believe the horizontal and vertical strokes of the brush will affect the effect of the talisman paper."
Elder Wan was very pleased. "Very good! You two are both right. The strength and the stroke of the brush will affect the effect of the talisman. Now that you know the key, why not try to copy it? Just add spiritual power when dipping the cinnabar and start copying."
Su Yao and Ning Jing smiled at each other, knowing that this wouldn't be difficult for the other. After all, they had joined the art club for credits when they were in college, and they kept looking up materials and watching videos to teach themselves, so copying or something like that wasn't a problem at all.
However, since the two were not yet familiar with the talisman paper and brushes, they failed several times before they slowly got the hang of it.
Elder Wan was still sitting at the table drinking tea.
Unexpectedly, in less than a quarter of an hour, they heard Su Yao and the others say, "Elder, we have finished the painting. Please take a look!"
Elder Wan was a little annoyed. Were these two little girls just scribbling so haphazardly just to finish it quickly? It had only been less than a quarter of an hour. You know, drawing talismans consumes mental energy. If you can't focus your mental energy, you won't even be able to complete the first stroke.
He walked up to the two of them angrily, first looked at the talisman drawn by Su Yao, and was about to scold: "What is this... drawing... drawing?"
Elder Wan simply couldn't believe it and rubbed his eyes quickly. He then carefully looked at the lines she drew. Both the strength and the brushstrokes were exactly the same. He picked it up and felt it. The fluctuation of spiritual power emanated from it, which proved that it could be used.
He did not give up, and quickly walked to Ning Jing's desk and picked up the talisman. Unexpectedly, it was the same as Su Yao's, with almost the same drawing, and could also be used.
Elder Wan was shocked. Could it be that he was old? But he was only 1,200 years old this year. What was wrong with the outside world? How could children nowadays be so talented? Elder Wan was seriously shocked.
Su Yao and Ning Jing looked at each other. What happened? They both thought their drawings looked very similar. Could it be that they had drawn them wrong?
Elder Wan finally came back to his senses and said slowly: "You two both draw well and are quite talented. With more practice, you will definitely surpass me." After that, he took out two copies of "The Complete Collection of Talismans in the World of Cultivation" from his storage bag and threw them to the two of them.
"Just try following the drawing. If you don't understand, just ask me." After finishing, he walked to his chair and sat down, continuing to doubt his life.
After receiving Elder Wan's approval, Su Yao and the others continued painting. They said that when they were learning to paint, they copied a lot, and even after graduation and work, they continued to practice painting. They shouldn't have regressed.
If the painting is fine, their confidence will increase immediately.
The two of them slowly began to draw according to the pictures in the talisman collection. In fact, for them, copying was not difficult at all. The difficulty lay in that they needed to store the talismans to be copied in their memories. Otherwise, if they had no pictures to copy, wouldn't they be able to draw the talismans?
Following the same method, the two of them drew several more talismans, not caring about their purpose, just copying them. Their skills became more and more proficient, and their speed in completing talismans increased. Within two hours, they had drawn ten different talismans.
The two of them were also tired of drawing. After all, their own spiritual power was not enough to consume so many talismans.
"Elder, we have drawn a few more talismans. Could you please take a look at them?" Su Yao spoke on behalf of the group.
Unexpectedly, Elder Wan did not respond, so Su Yao had to call him again. "Elder Wan?"
Still no response, Su Yao couldn't help but raise her voice slightly: "Elder Wan!"
This finally pulled Elder Wan out of his thoughts, "Huh? What's wrong?"
"Elder Wan, we have drawn a few more talismans. Could you please take a look at them?"
