บท 24: Water Talisman

Tu Tu looked at the low-grade water talisman, tilted its small head and said, "It seems not bad."

"Should we try it?" She asked again.

Tu Tu nodded and said, "I heard that water is very precious in this world. Master, do you want to put away the water summoned from this water talisman?"

Zhu Lin felt that Tu Tu's suggestion was good, so she asked, "Do you have anything that can hold water?"

The rabbit looked into its spirit palace and found a jade basin, which was used to raise a pair of yin and yang fish in the past.

Tu Tu took out the jade basin and said, "This basin should be big enough to hold water."

Zhu Lin looked at the jade basin's size and depth, then nodded. Holding the low-grade water talisman between her index finger and middle finger, she calmly said, "Flow."

As soon as she said this, the water talisman was engulfed by blue flames, and a blue mini formation appeared in front of the water talisman. In the next second, water gushed out from the mini blue formation and headed towards the jade basin, filling it with gulu gulu sounds. The water poured down continuously for thirty seconds before it stopped, and the low-grade water talisman was reduced to ashes.

Zhu Lin looked at the clean water inside the jade basin and said, "It seems that a low-grade water talisman made with the blood of the giant snake and these ordinary materials can only produce ten gallons of water at most."

Tu Tu also looked at the clear water in the jade basin, and asked, "Master, should we find better material next time?"

Zhu Lin thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes. But for now, this low-grade water talisman should be enough to solve our water shortage problem."

Since she cannot use cleansing spells at will for now, Zhu Lin needs to wash her body with water like a mortal. Also, she now needs to consume water to survive. With the low-grade water talismans, she no longer needs to use crystal nucleus to exchange for drinking water. She finally can save more crystal nucleus to improve her cultivation.

Thinking of the importance of water, she picked up the writing brush again and said, "Let's make more water talismans."

Seeing that its master had already started refining the water talisman again, Tu Tu said, "Then let me help you cut the paper, Master."

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "Thank you, Tu Tu."

The rabbit was very happy to be able to help its master. Tu Tu took a piece of paper, folded it with two fluffy paws, and then cut the paper neatly with its sharp claw. When the master and the rabbit were working diligently, Xiu Wu, who was hiding across the street, looked at them in surprise.

Although he couldn't hear any of their conversation from where he stands, he could see anything that just happened clearly. After witnessing Zhu Lin summoning water using the low-grade water talisman with his own eyes, Xiu Wu's mind moved quickly. After a while, when he looked at Zhu Lin again, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Not knowing that someone was targeting her talismans, Zhu Lin put aside the two hundred low-grade water talismans she had just refined.

Looking at the sixty packs of paper inside her ice flower pendant, Zhu Lin said, "The remaining papers are enough to make forty-seven thousand and eight hundred talismans. But there were only three bottles of the giant snake's blood left. It seems that after using up the giant snake's blood, we still need to find more blood before we can refine more talismans."

Tu Tu, who was busy cutting paper, didn't look up and asked, "Then should we use the remaining blood and prepare some attack and support talismans?"

Zhu Lin thought of the devil energy that shrouded the zombies, and said, "Since the zombies can move because of the devil energy, then the lightning element talisman should be able to inflict more damage to them. As for the fire element talisman, although it couldn't inflict as much damage to the devil energy as the lightning element talisman, it can burn the zombies."

Tu Tu tidied up the papers and asked, "What about the wind talisman? Looking at the infrastructure of this world, the wind element talisman should be of great use."

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "Mhm. We should prepare some wind element talisman, earth element talisman, and wood element talismans. These three element talismans can be used as support talismans."

After thinking about it, Zhu Lin said, "Tu Tu, help me prepare two hundred sheets of paper for lightning element talismans, one hundred sheets of paper for fire element talismans, and fifty pieces of paper each for wind element talismans, wood element talismans, and earth element talismans."

"Yes, Master." After speaking, Tu Tu hurriedly counted the papers.

The two of them worked for two hours before they prepared all the talismans. Seeing that the giant snake's blood was already used up, Zhu Lin put away the remaining materials and the newly refined talismans. She stood up from the chair, picked up the rabbit, and walked out from the second ring gate.

Seeing that she had left, Xiu Wu also came out from his hiding place and followed her. When he walked out from the second gate, he saw Ji Yang and Tan Wei already waiting for him there.

Tan Wei waved to him and said, "Lao Xiu, I just saw that beautiful woman going out."

Xiu Wu nodded to him, and Ji Yang asked, "Have you found out any information about her?"

Xiu Wu thought about the talismans that Zhu Lin refined just now, and said, "Mhm."

Ji Yang and Tan Wei waited for a while before they noticed that he had no intention of telling them what he had discovered, so they looked at each other with raised eyebrows. It seems that the iron peach blossoms of their taciturn friend have finally bloomed.
