According to Guan Yingying, Lingyue Zhenren's real name is Ji Lingyue, and she has been the deputy hall master of Quyou Hall for over a hundred years.
However, based on the current interactions, this person seems to be quite easygoing and approachable, without any airs of an elder.
The only thing is... just like Guan Yingying said, the invisible comparison between beauties will subconsciously bring up Ning Yuyao, who is also above the rank of "Absolute Beauty".
After explaining his purpose, Shen Yunhao handed over the lightning-summoning talisman he had borrowed from Meng Yuqin.
"It is indeed something from the Tai Xuan Dao Sect..."
The woman nodded, made a hand seal, and a thin film of golden light appeared, completely enveloping the paper talisman.
Then she raised her hand and pointed, and the paper talisman instantly shone with white light, almost exploding, but it was firmly suppressed by the golden light and remained stable.
"Holy crap..."
Shen Yunhao was dumbfounded. "Luckily, I didn't misuse it after I got it, otherwise I would definitely have blown myself up!"
At this moment, intricate array patterns began to appear on the paper talisman, layer upon layer, the dense patterns making Shen Yunhao's scalp tingle.
"How can such a small paper talisman be inscribed with so many formations?"
"What else?"
Guan Yingying snorted, "I already said that the way of spirit arrays is the most complicated, and it takes a lot of time and effort to master it! This lightning-summoning talisman can only be inscribed by a spirit array master who is at least at the Soul Control Realm or even the Void Soul Realm!"
Ji Lingyue shook her head and chuckled, "You silly girl, you're spreading rumors again. A Soul Condensation Realm cultivator with good talent can actually inscribe this level of formation, but it would take a lot of time and effort, so I wouldn't recommend it... If a Soul Control Realm spirit array master were to inscribe it, it would be much easier."
Guan Yingying pursed her lips, naturally not arguing with her elders.
Otherwise, she would definitely say, "I'm only at the Soul Control Realm, so fighting a Soul Condensation Realm cultivator is a piece of cake. Why waste time studying this formation?"
Ji Lingyue seemed to know her temperament, so she didn't say much. She simply raised her hand and pulled the talisman back into Shen Yunhao's palm.
"Alright, now you just need to infuse your spiritual energy into it, and the talisman will automatically unleash lightning power. Remember, do not point the talisman at yourself, as your physique cannot withstand this lightning strike!"
"It's fixed so quickly!"
Shen Yunhao was secretly surprised and asked, "Then what was the principle behind the explosion when spiritual energy was injected before?"
Ji Lingyue seemed surprised by his question, but explained, "The talisman maker inscribed multiple spiritual energy input points on the talisman. Only by introducing spiritual energy into the correct points can the power of thunder within be used against enemies. Otherwise, the power of thunder on the talisman will become disordered and turn against the person holding the talisman."
"Wow! That sounds so advanced. Do those cultivators from the Tai Xuan Dao Sect also undergo special training before they can use their own talismans?"
"Yes...no!"
The woman continued, “These paper talismans are made in batches, and each batch has different spiritual energy nodes. In other words, only the person who makes the talisman or the person who buys the talisman paper knows how to use this node. Others, even fellow cultivators of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, do not know.”
“I see…” Shen Yunhao stroked his chin. “Then if I switch the talisman holders’ spells, wouldn’t that make them… blow themselves up?”
Ji Lingyue's expression stiffened. "Theoretically speaking, that's true... but those who are truly dedicated usually have a good understanding of their talismans..."
"I understand!" Shen Yunhao suddenly said, "The talisman maker must have made the talismans at different nodes look different, which is equivalent to a kind of... code! Yes! The detonation method is the code. As long as I know this code, it's equivalent to holding the talisman maker's lifeline!"
"Wait! Wait!" Guan Yingying suddenly looked over. "From what you're saying, you're planning to blow up the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, huh?"
"No, no, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing..." Shen Yunhao scratched his head and said, "I just have a feeling that this spirit array is like code. As long as you want, you can write all sorts of things!"
"Code? What is code?"
"To put it simply, it's like those array patterns; different small parts have different effects, and then they are combined into a larger part that has actual benefits!"
Hearing this, Guan Yingying was a little dumbfounded, but Ji Lingyue, who was sitting in the first seat, had her eyes shining. "The little guy has good comprehension. This description is not bad. Although the spirit array is not omnipotent, it can do far more than you can imagine, from opening mountains and filling seas to threading a needle!"
"Whoa..."
Guan Yingying finally understood, "So you really want to learn the way of spirit arrays?"
"Uh..." Shen Yunhao scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.
"Absolutely not!"
Guan Yingying immediately vetoed the idea, "This is the Guanghan Palace, which only accepts female disciples. Even if Senior Sister Lingyue wanted to take you as her disciple, it's not very realistic! Unless... you become a woman!"
Shen Yunhao: "..."
Just then, Ji Lingyue suddenly laughed and said, "Disciples of the Guanghan Palace can only be girls, but there is no such rule for my students, Ji Lingyue..."
Guan Yingying: "..."
What's wrong with you two? You're like a turtle eyeing a green bean, all smitten?
Just as Shen Yunhao's face lit up with joy and he was about to acknowledge someone as his master, Ji Lingyue suddenly shook her head and said, "But... you can't."
"???"
Shen Yunhao's face instantly flushed red.
What do you mean by that?
Do you know how badly I punished Yao'er last night?
If it weren't for your seniority, I would have proven my worth to you!
To everyone's surprise, Ji Lingyue immediately added, "Your cultivation has not yet reached the Soul Condensation Realm. Your soul power is too weak, and your control over spiritual energy is not proficient enough. You are temporarily unable to cultivate the Dao of Spiritual Arrays!"
"..."
Shen Yunhao lowered his head and remained silent.
sorry!
Please drag me out and shoot me a hundred times!
Guan Yingying's eyes widened. "Senior Aunt Lingyue, are you really going to teach him the Way of Spirit Arrays?"
“Since he’s Yao’er’s husband, he can be considered half a member of the Guanghan Palace!” Ji Lingyue said with a smile. “If he sincerely wants to learn, why would I be stingy?”
This time, Shen Yunhao learned his lesson and quickly bowed and thanked him, saying, "This junior thanks the master for his guidance!"
"You little rascal, you're quite impatient. But I, Ji Lingyue, don't accept disciples without any requirements! How about this, I see that your cultivation has reached the Iron Bone realm. If you can reach the Soul Condensation realm within five years, I will formally accept you as my disciple. Otherwise..." As she spoke, she took out a book from somewhere and threw it over.
"Otherwise, you can learn it yourself and don't need to call me Master!"
Within five years... that is to say, Shen Yunhao will be twenty-five years old.
A Soul Condensation Realm expert at twenty-five years old—even for an inner disciple, that's an impressive achievement!
