Night fell. In a garden at Qin Manor.
Yi Xiao continued drawing a talisman serenely, while sitting in front of a table with a lamp on it. One needed to be calm and composed while drawing talismans. This was because each stroke contained the wonders of the Heaven and Earth. There was a saying, "Not knowing the key to drawing talismans incurs the ridicule of gods and ghosts; knowing the key to drawing talismans instills fear in gods and ghosts." At Yi Xiao's stage of grasping the implications of the Heavenly Dao, she understood the meaning behind every stroke. She could even modify Dao talismans.
There were many talisman amulets created by experts of various eras.
For example, the best Lightning Dharma, the Divine Firmament Lightning Dharma, was created by Ancestral Master Zhang.
"Sou!"
Qin Yun returned from the West Sea and landed silently in the garden. He stood beside the table and watched Yi Xiao draw.
I've 'repaid' all the chapters I missed when I was on my trip to China. Please cast your Power Stones if you have any!
