The table was covered with talismans and pens.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai's eyes gleamed. If she could learn this trick, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wanted in the future? When she was in Beicheng, she was injured because she couldn't store spiritual power when she activated the exorcism talisman, which caused her to lose too much spiritual power.
Quan Cang, who was also sitting next to her, naturally took in the little expression on Xu Yuehuai's face. He chuckled and said gently, "Junior sister, this is no simple matter. You should know that many talisman masters in the world spend their entire lives without learning this skill. Your senior brother has been studying talismans for several years and still hasn't been able to learn it. Although you have good talent, learning this kind of thing is not something that can be accomplished overnight. I believe you can definitely do it. You just need to practice more."
Quan Cang was worried that his junior sister would be discouraged, so he first told her some examples of failures so that Xu Yuehuai wouldn't be too upset after the failures.
Xu Yuehuai was unaware of his ulterior motives. Even after realizing how difficult it would be, she still showed no intention of giving up, her eyes filled with determination.
Yuan Shui looked on from inside the space, and sneered with some disdain. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of contempt.
This kind of thing was something every spellcaster knew many years ago in the previous level, but now it's something everyone spends their whole lives pursuing in this lower level. How ridiculous.
This is probably how a person's birth determines their potential.
With that thought in mind, Yuan Shui continued to leisurely eat the herbs and fruits.
Fu Jia is a very talented and hardworking talisman master. She mastered this skill many years ago, so most of the disciples, deans, and elders in the academy respect her greatly. No one wants to offend someone who carries countless talismans and can hardly use any of her own spiritual power.
Fighting with someone like that will only result in you suffering a loss.
Xu Yuehua failed on her first attempt, and then she tried again, but failed once more. She persevered despite repeated failures. On her third attempt, she felt something at the tip of the pen drawing spiritual energy, but it was very weak and disappeared after a short while.
Xu Yuehua frowned. She started drawing again, but it didn't feel the same as before. It was still just an ordinary talisman.
Quan Cang practiced with him for a long time without feeling anything, but he was already used to it. He put away all the talismans he had drawn, knowing they would be useful in the future. He turned to look at Xu Yuehuai.
All that could be seen where Xu Yuehuai was sitting were talismans scattered all over the ground. She surrounded herself with a circle of talismans, more than twice as many as he had drawn. Quan Cang was once again amazed by the speed at which his junior sister drew talismans and the amount of spiritual energy she possessed.
"Junior sister, it's been so long already, why don't you take a break before continuing? These things can't be rushed," Quan Cang advised.
He was worried that Xu Yuehuai would go mad in this state.
But this worry was obviously useless. Xu Yuehuai didn't even look up. She was just about to politely decline Quan Cang's offer and ask him to leave first.
When she reached into her hand, she found that the talisman had already been drawn.
She then came to her senses and looked at the talismans she had scattered all over the floor.
Xu Yuehuai said somewhat awkwardly, "I've run out of talismans. I'll have to trouble you to get me some more before class tomorrow."
Quan Cang agreed and helped Xu Yuehuai pick up all the talismans on the ground before taking her to the cafeteria for lunch.
Xu Yuehuai walked along the road without making a sound, and then she recalled the state of her drawing talismans earlier. She clearly felt the spiritual energy moving on the talisman paper, but each time it was only a little bit. At first, she could only draw a few talismans and have that feeling on one of them, but as she drew more and more talismans, she found the rule and started to have that feeling on every one of them.
However, she couldn't break through that critical point, which greatly troubled Xu Yuehuai.
The next day was the same. Xu Yuehuai first went to Siyue Mountain to refine pills and learn more about alchemy techniques.
In the afternoon, we went to Talisman Mountain to learn talismans.
Quan Cang knew that Xu Yuehuai was a cultivation fanatic. If she hadn't run out of talismans yesterday, she wouldn't have given up so easily. So today, he gave her about the same number of talismans as yesterday.
Xu Yuehuai drew a few talismans and regained the feeling from yesterday.
Fu Jia watched from the side and could vaguely see that Xu Yuehuai could generate a spiritual power. She said, "Concentrate and imagine the pen in your hand as a part of yourself. Only in this way can you smoothly transfer your spiritual power through the pen tip to the talisman paper. Then use the special symbols on the talisman paper to lock the spiritual power and let it exist on the talisman paper. That is how you succeed."
Upon hearing Fu Jia's words, Xu Yuehuai began to practice even harder.
Half a month passed in this way: refining elixirs in the morning, drawing talismans in the afternoon, and cultivating the body in the evening. A month quickly went by.
The rare second-tier selection process has also begun.
The academy was bustling early in the morning, with the main arena prepared in advance to welcome the big shots from the second floor.
After Xu Yuehuai got up, Dean Guo and Dean Fu Jia were already waiting for her in the courtyard. "This mission is extraordinary, and there is a high possibility that people will die."
Dean Guo, abandoning his usual carefree attitude, had a serious look in his eyes. "My only requirement is that you come out alive. Everything else is secondary. If you really want to go to the second floor, I can always ask Old Man Zhong to give you the academy's spirit boat later!"
"You absolutely mustn't do anything foolish! I finally managed to take on such a beloved disciple as you, and I truly don't want to see you die in front of me," Dean Guo said sincerely.
While teaching Xu Yuehuai, he also treated her like his own child.
Dean Fu and Dean Guo had the same idea. She had already thought that after Xu Yuehuai failed, he would want to go to the second floor. She would take countless talismans to Dean Zhong. If he dared not agree, she would fight him and the winner would speak!
Xu Yuehuai was deeply moved by the two deans' consideration for her. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have important things to do. I would never do anything rash and die on the stage!"
I haven't seen Qi Guze again yet, and I haven't been able to resolve the many questions in my heart.
Xu Yuehua muttered to herself.
Ji Yuanchi watched from outside the door. She had also participated in the second-floor selection, but she had secretly signed up. Dean Guo didn't know, and she dared not say anything.
She was just a lowly alchemist, without the powerful talismanic arts that Xu Yuehuai had to support her. Besides alchemy, she only had physical cultivation.
After giving his instructions, the three of them came out of the courtyard. Dean Guo looked around but did not see Ji Yuanchi, which he found strange.
