When Shangguan Xi heard that it wasn't fast enough, the hand holding the talisman trembled, and he looked at Xu Yuehuai as if he were looking at some monster. "No, what normal person draws talismans in piles? A normal talisman master takes at least fifteen minutes to draw one, and that's considered fast."
Without comparison, you'll never know how amazing or outrageous something is. After Shangguan Xi's words, Xu Yuehuai realized that he seemed to have quite a talent for talismans.
Shangguan Xi quickly gathered up all the talismans on the ground and put them together. Looking at them, it was clear that Xu Yuehuai had already drawn quite a few.
Aside from expressing her shock, Shangguan Xi couldn't do anything else, as she knew nothing about talismans.
Xu Yuehuai just smiled at Shangguan Xi's exaggeration, feeling somewhat discouraged. Looking at the talismans in front of her, a sense of frustration welled up inside her.
The Fifth Elder woke up at some point and came to the library. He glanced over and saw two people in the corner. He didn't know what they were doing, but in order not to disturb them, he walked over quietly. When the Fifth Elder saw a pile of talismans on the ground, his expression clearly froze.
When Shangguan Qi saw the Fifth Elder approaching, he stood up to greet him. Xu Yuehuai also intended to get up, but the Fifth Elder raised his hand to stop him, asking, "Did you draw all of these?"
Xu Yuehuai met the Fifth Elder's gaze directly and nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"You want to cultivate a spirit power talisman?" There are two types of talisman paper. One is ordinary talisman paper, which is the same as the talisman paper that Xu Yuehuai scattered on the ground. The other is the talisman paper that Xu Yuehuai wants to refine, which is called a spirit power talisman. As the name suggests, it has more spirit power on it than ordinary talisman paper.
Xu Yuehua nodded, "That's right, but I haven't succeeded yet."
Shangguan Qi added from the side, "Fifth Elder, you don't know, these talismans were all drawn by Senior Sister within an hour of her coming in."
These words only deepened the Fifth Elder's surprise, but his admiration remained undiminished.
His eyes flickered with light. "I say, that old geezer Zisangyi is completely muddle-headed now. He doesn't care what you know, and he won't teach you anything. Why don't you come with me? I'll teach you in the future."
The Fifth Elder, taking advantage of Zisang's lack of interest, openly tried to poach him.
If he had known that Xu Yuehuai was also a talisman master, he definitely wouldn't have hesitated at all in the first place and would have snatched the person from Zisangyi.
Xu Yuehuai smiled slightly, and said with a distant yet polite tone, "Fifth Elder, it seems a bit unfair to do this. If there is an opportunity next time, I will definitely become your disciple, but I guess it won't work this time."
Xu Yuehuai smiled and did not refuse outright, thus avoiding embarrassing the Fifth Elder.
The Fifth Elder waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. Considering how destined we are to be together, I'll give you a few pointers."
"When drawing talismans with this, the spiritual energy should not be on the brush, but on your hand." The Fifth Elder pointed at Xu Yuehuai's brush, his eyes dark.
Xu Yuehuai raised her hand, holding a fine calligraphy brush.
Xu Yuehuai was somewhat puzzled. "Thank you for the reminder, Fifth Elder."
Shangguan Qi listened from the side but couldn't make heads or tails of it. He just felt that the two were not that different. After the Fifth Elder finished speaking, he turned around and left the place, returning to his usual seat.
Xu Yuehuai had considered this possibility before. She tried it several times, but without exception, all of them ended in failure. They weren't even ordinary talismans; they were completely ruined.
Xu Yuehuai sat in her seat, holding a pen in her hand. There was a talisman on the ground, and the pen hovered above it, but she hesitated to write. Shangguan Xi observed for a while, worried that Xu Yuehuai would be affected by her, so she moved to another place.
Xu Yuehuai remained in one position for a long time, until her arm went numb. Her eyes shifted, and she raised her hand to write, creating marks on the talisman paper. Unlike the others, there was a mysterious spiritual connection between Xu Yuehuai and the talisman paper, enveloping both of them.
Like alchemists, spellcasters are special professions. One can help others reduce stress during battle, while the other can help heal injuries and even improve one's own strength.
One is a semi-support class, and the other is a full support class. They are highly sought after on the second floor, but Xu Yuehuai doesn't care about this and hasn't even spread the word. These two classes are also among the most lucrative.
Xu Yuehuai concentrated her attention, working intently on the talisman paper, not daring to be distracted for even a second. But at the very last second, Xu Yuehuai's efforts still ended in failure.
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Xu Yuehuai's eyes, but quickly, a smile returned to her lips, her eyes brimming with confidence.
Although Shangguan Xi had moved to a different place, he would still look at Xu Yuehuai from time to time, worried that something might happen to her.
When Shangguan Xi saw Xu Yuehuai laughing happily after failing, she was puzzled. The talisman she saw was just a piece of waste paper, so why was Xu Yuehuai so happy?
Shangguan Xi didn't understand.
Xu Yuehuai was happy because she had finally grasped some of the tricks of the trade. At the same time, she was puzzled. She had always believed that spiritual power came from the tip of the pen because that was how it was when she first started cultivating. Later, the books she read also said so. With so many things confirmed, it would be very difficult for Xu Yuehuai to change her mind.
Besides, she had tried different methods, but perhaps she lacked confidence or focus, and ultimately failed.
Now that she had finally figured it out, she couldn't contain her excitement.
Xu Yuehuai began her second attempt, becoming more focused and skilled with each attempt. In just one hour, Xu Yuehuai's progress in talismans surpassed a major level, something many people knew the method for but could not achieve.
Xu Yuehuai happily picked up the explosive tag.
