Bab 31: Chapter 31: Creating a New Talisman

If successful, with the improvement speed of the first-tier talisman completion, he would only need a few days of practice to draw it. Though the effect would certainly be far inferior, the second-tier Gathering Qi Talisman was originally meant for Foundation Establishment cultivators, so reducing it to the first-tier version should still be applicable for Qi Refining cultivators.

Lu An seemed to have discovered a new continent and was excitedly pondering it.

With more and more spiritual insights in his mind, the idea of improving the second-tier Gathering Qi Talisman became clearer.

"This stroke is too complicated and requires too high a level of spiritual power. The first-tier materials may not be able to support it. It needs to be revised."

"This part won't work either; though it can enhance spiritual power, the material consumption is too high."

"This stroke is meant to prevent spiritual energy from leaking. With less spiritual energy in the first-tier version, it's unnecessary to make such an effort."

...

Lu An relied on the spiritual insights in his mind and continuously tried drawing in his sea of consciousness.

Changing materials, simplifying strokes…

Until he resolved the final issue, the information prompt in front of him finally changed.

[You have created a first-tier talisman. Effect: Increases the speed at which cultivators absorb spiritual energy. Please name it.]

Lu An was overjoyed. Initially, he was just trying it out, but he hadn't expected to actually succeed.

"Since this is the first-tier version of the Gathering Qi Talisman, I'll call it the Minor Gathering Qi Talisman."

[First-tier talisman: Minor Gathering Qi Talisman, has been recorded.]

The sea of consciousness suddenly vibrated violently, and then an ancient book appeared abruptly, with the words "True Method of Talisman" written on it.

The ancient book was placed on the desk, with the original writing tools giving way as if it had always existed there.

Lu An focused his mind, and the ancient book slowly opened, revealing a directory.

First-tier talismans, second-tier talismans... all the way to the ninth tier, the directory ended.

After the ninth tier, the contents were obscured like clouds and mist.

Among these directories, only the first and second-tier talismans emitted a faint light, while the rest were dark.

Lu An's gaze fixed on the first-tier talismans. The contents before him suddenly changed, and the talismans he had drawn appeared one by one.

[First-tier talismans] [Calming Heart Talisman, Completion: 100%, Perfect] [Breath-Holding Talisman, Completion: 93%, Superior] [Avoid Water Talisman, Completion: 76%, Medium] [Lightning Flash Talisman, Completion: 75%, Medium] ... [Minor Gathering Qi Talisman, Completion: 0%, Not yet a talisman]

Lu An was slightly surprised. The book recorded the completion of all the talismans he had created, including the newly named Minor Gathering Qi Talisman.

He then looked at the second-tier talismans, which had simpler content, showing only a lone talisman.

[Second-tier talismans] [Gathering Qi Talisman, Completion: 3%, Not yet a talisman, Remaining Spiritual Insights: 2]

Seeing the first part, Lu An nodded. The completion was only 3%, which was the highest he had achieved when drawing the Gathering Qi Talisman. It was expected that the second-tier talisman had only one talisman listed.

He guessed that as he created more second-tier talismans in the future, the content here would become richer.

However, he did not immediately understand what the remaining spiritual insights meant.

Could it be the spiritual insights accumulated in his mind?

After pondering for a moment, to confirm, he started drawing the Gathering Qi Talisman again.

[You have drawn a Gathering Qi Talisman. Completion: 3%, failure, mental energy refunded.]

[Due to the cross-tier drawing of the talisman, your understanding of talisman path has deepened.]

Seeing this information, he went back to the ancient book and checked the second-tier directory, showing a look of realization.

In the second-tier directory, the remaining spiritual insights for the Gathering Qi Talisman had decreased to one.

In other words, after drawing once more, there would be no further increase in spiritual insights.

Although this discovery made him a bit dejected, he quickly adjusted. He had long known that the spiritual insights gained would decrease over time, and disappearance was only a matter of time.

This ancient book just provided a more intuitive display of this data.

He used up the final spiritual insight, and indeed, no more increased.

Lu An nodded slowly and closed the ancient book.

He had some guesses about why this book appeared. It was likely because he created the first talisman, meeting certain conditions, which activated the book.

But aside from recording the completion of the talismans he created, the book seemed to have no other functions.

Lu An shook his head, not thinking further. The immediate priority was to increase the completion of the Minor Gathering Qi Talisman and see the results.

If his assumptions were correct, his cultivation would advance rapidly in the near future.

He focused his mind and continued drawing in his sea of consciousness.

[You have drawn the Minor Gathering Qi Talisman. Completion: 0%, failure, mental energy refunded.]

[You have drawn the Minor Gathering Qi Talisman. Completion: 1%, failure, mental energy refunded.]

[You have drawn the Minor Gathering Qi Talisman. Completion: 0%, failure, mental energy refunded.]

...

As days passed, Li Ziyou had not come to inform him, but the Yingchang couple had returned.

They brought back the sea beast saliva needed for the Gathering Qi Talisman, and Fang Ling was severely injured as a result.

Lu An had not yet had the chance to inquire about the situation when an unexpected visitor arrived at the Spirit Talisman Residence.

"Is Daoist Lu here?"

Bai Sheng glanced at the visitor, noting his white beard and hair, dressed in a white robe with a talisman embroidered on his chest, identical to the one worn by Shen Mi on that day.

"Senior, are you from the Divine Talisman Pavilion? May I ask what you need from my master?"

Bai Sheng did not dare to be negligent and quickly asked.

The Second Elder stroked his beard and said with an inscrutable expression, "Naturally, it's something good. Quickly call Lu Xiaoyou out."

Bai Sheng frowned, hesitated for a moment, and did not move.

"Senior, my master has instructed that he is in seclusion for a few days and will not see anyone. Please return."

Lu An's instructions were that only the Li family members and the Yingchang couple could be notified. However, he would not directly tell the old man this but only said that Lu An was in seclusion and would not see anyone.

The Second Elder was infuriated and coldly said, "If I ask you to notify him, then notify him. Why all this nonsense?"

In his view, Bai Sheng was merely a servant and dared to oppose him. This was truly unwise.

Bai Sheng's face changed, but he still did not move.

The Second Elder sneered internally, releasing a burst of Foundation Establishment pressure towards Bai Sheng, waiting for him to back down.

To his surprise, despite Bai Sheng's pale face, he did not retreat a step, braving the pressure.

This left him in a difficult situation. He had not intended to escalate matters but only wanted to teach Bai Sheng a slight lesson, so he had not used much of his strength.

How could this servant be so unyielding!

He narrowed his eyes, increasing the pressure from his body.

Bai Sheng was struggling even more, but he gritted his teeth and stood his ground.

Just as the Second Elder was about to take more drastic measures, a voice came from inside the room:

"The esteemed Second Elder of the Divine Talisman Pavilion, bullying a Qi Refining servant at my Spirit Talisman Residence. Wouldn't this make people laugh at us?"

Upon hearing Lu An's voice, the Second Elder withdrew his pressure, giving a dismissive smile:

"A clueless servant just needs a bit of lesson. Lu An, I'm here with a huge piece of good news for you."

To his surprise, Lu An ignored him completely and stared at him with a cold expression.


Bab 32: Chapter 32: Honorary Elder

The Second Elder frowned. In his view, he was merely disciplining a servant. What was with this attitude?

His face grew slightly dark as he spoke, "Daoist Lu, what do you mean? Are you going to take sides with a servant against me?"

Although he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lu An had the Yingchang couple behind him, so he was not afraid.

"Bai Sheng is my friend. I hope you have an explanation for this treatment."

Hearing this, the Second Elder's anger turned into a sneer.

"I see your talisman skills are quite impressive. I only paid attention to you because of that. Do you really think of yourself as someone significant?"

"A mere Qi Refining Fourth Layer dares to be so brazen. It seems you need a lesson to understand that there are greater heights beyond."

With that, he unleashed an astonishing aura that forced Lu An to stagger back a few steps to stabilize himself.

Then he stepped forward and slapped his hand toward Lu An.

Lu An remained calm, standing still.

Just as the hand was about to strike his chest, Ying Chang rushed out from behind Lu An and stood in front of him.

The two palms clashed, and both retreated a few steps, separating their positions.

"Early Foundation Establishment!"

The Second Elder's eyes narrowed. He did not expect that Lu An had such a formidable figure by his side.

He then frowned and sneered, "With this person's strength, it's not enough to protect you."

He was also at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and Ying Chang had only recently entered this stage. He was confident that in a fight, he would have the upper hand.

Just then, another figure appeared at the Spirit Talisman Residence.

"Lu An, Second Elder, you are both here. How are things going?"

Shen Mi did not notice the awkward atmosphere and asked.

Lu An took a seat, sipping tea.

In his mind, he was contemplating: "My cultivation is still too low. I cannot always rely on Brother Ying and the others. I need to quickly raise my cultivation."

"The drawing of the Minor Gathering Qi Talisman cannot be delayed. I will let Brother Ying accompany me for a battle later. The results should be good."

He silently planned his future cultivation matters and ignored Shen Mi.

The Second Elder was also feeling embarrassed and sulking alone.

Shen Mi was somewhat confused and could not understand the situation.

However, recalling the sect's mission, he addressed Lu An: "Mr. Lu, our Divine Talisman Pavilion wishes to invite you to explain the new talisman techniques. We will also award you the title of Honorary Elder afterward. Do you have time?"

Lu An glanced at the Second Elder, sneering, "No need. I, Lu, am just a rogue cultivator and cannot accept your Divine Talisman Pavilion's favor. Please leave."

The Second Elder's expression also turned cold, his eyes fixed on Lu An: "Lu An, are you refusing to give me this face?"

Lu An slammed the table and retorted, "You insulted my friends, and now you act this way. What if I don't give you face?"

The Second Elder's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying harshly, "Fine, we'll see."

With that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

Shen Mi looked at Lu An, then at the Second Elder, hesitated for a moment, and did not follow them out.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

"Mr. Lu, what's going on here?"

Lu An did not answer, but Bai Sheng stepped forward.

"It's all my fault. I offended the Second Elder of the Divine Talisman Pavilion, and Mr. Lu stood up for me, which led to the scene just now."

After a detailed inquiry, Shen Mi understood the situation, and his expression fluctuated between gloom and cheerfulness.

"This matter is indeed the Second Elder's fault. However, Mr. Lu, the Second Elder has considerable influence in Gugu County and is unlikely to let this go easily."

"Furthermore, your brother is studying at the Divine Talisman Pavilion and may also face his difficulties."

Lu An was surprised, not expecting Shen Mi to say such things. However, he was not worried about Zhao Wenliang.

Now that he had established himself in the marketplace, he planned to bring Zhao Wenliang to his shop soon and personally teach him. This would not only help Bai Sheng share the task of selling talismans but also, under his guidance, Zhao Wenliang might not fare worse than at the Divine Talisman Pavilion.

Still, he inquired further.

"How is my brother doing now?"

"Brother Wenliang is doing well. He is studying diligently and has now mastered two types of first-level talismans. Since I instructed the apprentices, no one dares to bully him."

Lu An nodded and suddenly asked with curiosity:

"You are also from the Divine Talisman Pavilion. Why do you not support the Second Elder but rather side with an outsider like me?"

Shen Mi smiled wryly and sighed.

"In the Divine Talisman Pavilion, I am just an unpopular disciple."

"If it weren't for you, the Second Elder would not have said those things to me or involved me in the talisman faction contest."

Lu An, upon hearing this, glanced around, then smiled slightly:

"Let me help you secure the talisman position."

Shen Mi seemed to have heard something unbelievable. Before he could respond, Lu An continued:

"From tomorrow, you should bring my brother here every day to report and study the art of talismans."

"Also, inform the Divine Talisman Pavilion that I accept the title of Honorary Elder."

"As for the matter of explaining the talisman techniques, just let me know the time once you've arranged it."

He had his own considerations. Since his strength was lacking, he first needed to elevate his status to make it harder for the Second Elder to act against him. Meanwhile, helping Shen Mi pave the way would also provide some time for him if he could secure the talisman position.

When he grew stronger, he would no longer need to worry about the Second Elder.

Shen Mi was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Even Bai Sheng beside him looked at Lu An with shining eyes.

Lu An smiled slightly, gave him a sidelong glance, and said:

"You may also listen in."

Upon hearing this, Bai Sheng nearly jumped with joy, his delight evident.

Then, Lu An dismissed a few people and went into the secret room with the Yingchang couple.

Fang Ling, who had been severely injured, had not had a chance to inquire about the details before, but now found the time to ask.

"Sister Fang, was this injury caused by the Qi Sea Beast?"

To her surprise, Fang Ling shook her head and said with a solemn expression, "It was caused by the Fang family!"
