It's no wonder Qingyangzi was worried, because drawing the Nine Profound Demon-Sealing Talisman requires a lot of spiritual power, and it also needs to be done in a special formation.
Qiqi is injured now, and the doctor said that she cannot use her spiritual power for three months.
A talisman without spiritual power is just a piece of waste paper.
"I can't use my spiritual power, so I can only teach you how to draw the Nine Profound Demon-Sealing Talisman. You might need to draw it yourselves." After saying that, Qi Qi looked at Qing Yangzi with a smile. "The Nine Profound Demon-Sealing Talisman isn't difficult to draw. Grandpa Qing Yangzi, your spiritual power is pretty good. If you try a few more times, you should be able to draw it!"
Qingyangzi: Thank you for your trust!
"Then... I'll give it a try!" His tone was somewhat excited.
That's the Nine Profound Demon-Sealing Talisman, an ancient talisman that has been lost for a long time.
If he can truly learn it, his status in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) will inevitably rise, and he will gain more influence.
Of course, having a voice is not the most important thing; the most important thing is to enhance one's strength and better serve the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
"But if I am unable to draw it successfully, I may have to trouble Fellow Daoist Qi Qi in the future..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Yuwei immediately objected, "No, Qiqi's injuries haven't healed yet, she absolutely cannot use her spiritual power again."
"Young Master Huo, rest assured, I can provide Fellow Daoist Qiqi with spirit jade. Fellow Daoist Qiqi can directly draw spiritual power from the spirit jade to draw talismans without using her own spiritual power. Drawing talismans mainly relies on the power of celestial phenomena and destiny. I am not as good as Fellow Daoist Qiqi in this aspect, so I am worried that I will not be able to draw them successfully," Qingyangzi said. "Moreover, we will provide the best materials to minimize losses."
Qiqi thought for a moment, then raised her little hand, "That's a good idea, Qiqi is willing to help! But..."
She looked at Huo Yuwei and Old Madam Huo, "We have to wait until Qiqi's injuries are a bit better. And, Qiqi has a condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"Qiqi wants to participate in the next operation," Qiqi said earnestly. "The souls of those children are still being nurtured in the Soul Gathering Banner, and Qiqi will send them home safely. Moreover, Qiqi will personally capture that evil old man and avenge Big Brother and Sister Lin Wei!"
Before Huo Yuwei could say anything more, Madam Ji suddenly spoke up, "I agree."
"Aunt Ji, you..."
Madam Ji patted Qiqi's head. "I've always known in my heart that Qiqi isn't a flower in a greenhouse. She's a cultivator of the Xuanmen sect, with her own responsibilities and duties. What we can do isn't to lock her up and protect her, but to support her and help her become stronger. Although I feel sorry for her, I also support her. But I have one request: no matter what, you must ensure your own safety!"
"Don't worry, Mom. I can do it!"
Seeing that Madam Ji had agreed, Old Madam Huo, though reluctant, said nothing, only looking at Qingyangzi, "Daoist Master, the Huo family will fully cooperate with the Xuanmen Association's actions. But one thing is certain: Qiqi's safety must be the top priority."
Qingyangzi solemnly promised, "Please rest assured, Madam and this lady, I guarantee with my life that I will never let my little friend Qiqi be in danger again."
That's how it was settled.
For the next two weeks, Qiqi focused on recuperating, taking her medicine on time every day, and with the help of the pills brought by Qingyangzi, her injuries healed quickly.
Qingyangzi and several talisman masters from the Xuanmen Association who were skilled in drawing talismans came to learn how to draw the Nine Profound Demon-Sealing Talisman from Qiqi. After learning it, they went back to practice and try it out, but without exception, they all failed.
One of them even suffered a backlash while drawing, vomiting blood and falling into a coma, and has not woken up yet.
Unfortunately, the task of drawing the Nine Profound Demon-Sealing Talisman still fell to Qiqi.
Huo Yusen frantically studied esoteric knowledge, hoping to be able to help Qiqi at a crucial moment.
Qingyangzi was amazed by his talent and temperament, and made an exception to accept him as a disciple, personally teaching him.
“Young Master Ninth’s talent in formations is one in a hundred years,” Qingyangzi said to Madam Huo. “Given time, he will surely achieve great things.”
Huo Yusen didn't care about the praise; he just wanted to become stronger quickly, strong enough to protect Qiqi and never let her get hurt again.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuwei was busy coordinating with special departments and mobilizing the Huo family's resources to prepare for the next operation.
***
Half a month later, Qiqi's injuries had healed by 70%, and she was able to get out of bed and move around.
That afternoon, several special guests arrived at the Huo family manor.
"Qiqi!"
A clear, childlike voice came from the doorway. Qiqi looked up and saw three children running in hand in hand.
The one leading the group was a little girl with pigtails, about five or six years old, wearing a pink tutu, looking like a little princess.
Two little boys followed behind her, one chubby and the other tall and thin.
"Sister Tingting! Brother Xiaopang! Brother Doudou!" Qiqi ran over excitedly.
These three children were Qiqi's companions at the Xuanmen Orphanage and her best friends.
Tingting's full name is Su Tingting. She has been adopted by the Su family and has become their daughter.
Xiao Pang's real name is Wang Shuo. He was adopted by the couple who ran a martial arts school.
DouDou's real name is Chen DouDou, and she was adopted by an archaeologist.
"Qiqi, we heard you were injured, so we came to see you!" Tingting handed over a beautiful box. "These are peach blossom pastries made by my mom, they're so delicious!"
Little Fatty handed over a box, saying, "This is some liniment my grandpa made for bruises and sprains; it's really effective!"
DouDou then mysteriously pulled out a compass, saying, "My dad dug this out of an ancient tomb. He says it can bring good luck and ward off evil. I'm giving it to you!"
Qiqi was overjoyed to see them here.
She was deeply touched to see the gifts her friends had brought her, saying, "Thank you."
Four children sat around the living room carpet, sharing snacks and toys.
"Qiqi, did you really defeat so many bad guys all by yourself?" Little Fatty asked with sparkling eyes.
Qiqi shook her head shyly, "I'm not alone. I have big brother, sister Lin Wei, and grandpa Xuanzhenzi helping me."
"That's amazing!" Tingting looked at her with admiration. "My mom says you're a little hero."
DouDou pushed up her glasses. "I studied the star chart of the seven-planet alignment and found that this blood moon phenomenon is very unusual. Ancient books record that when a blood moon appears, demons emerge. QiQi, are you guys going to deal with something very powerful?"
Qiqi nodded, "It's a cult called the Netherworld Cult. They've kidnapped a lot of children."
All three children looked frightened and angry.
"They're so mean!" Little Fatty clenched his fist. "When I grow up, I'm going to learn martial arts and help Qiqi fight the bad guys!"
“I can ask my dad for help,” Tingting said. “My dad knows a lot of impressive people.”
DouDou thought for a moment, "I can study ancient books and see if there are any ways to deal with the Netherworld Cult."
Seeing her friends' sincere expressions, Qiqi felt a warmth in her heart.
