First time drawing a talisman

As soon as Li Tan finished writing, he clearly felt a sudden decrease in the Spiritual Qi within his body, and the Talisman paper trembled as if it could shatter at any moment.

Drawing Talismans consumes so much Spiritual Qi; not only must one guide the Spiritual Qi, but precise control of each stroke is also crucial.

Even the most overlooked Talisman paper requires focused attention, with a wisp of Spiritual Qi enveloping it to keep it stable.

A single moment of carelessness can lead to all efforts being in vain.

Soon, Li Tan encountered a new problem: stabilizing the Talisman paper and connecting the runes, but the Talisman brush in his hand became uncontrollable, sliding from the corner directly to the opposite side, then sliding back again.

The Talisman paper was instantly ruined!

It seems that drawing Talismans is truly not an easy task. Li Tan looked around, observing everyone's progress.

Coincidentally, he saw Yue Shiwei and Chu Wanning, both having just failed at drawing Talismans.

Chu Wanning turned her head away, not wanting Li Tan to see her predicament, while Yue Shiwei smiled helplessly.

As for Wang Longzhi... he hadn't even taken the first step, and several ruined Talisman papers had already piled up beside him.

This made him restless and in a dilemma, looking at the Talisman paper delivered by his subordinate with a solemn expression.

Wang Longzhi muttered softly:

"This meticulous work that requires a calm mind, throwing it to me... isn't that making things difficult for me?"

"Forget it, diligence can compensate for clumsiness! If others draw one, I'll draw twenty; Heaven will always bless me!"

As these words fell, Wang Longzhi clasped his hands together and made a praying gesture towards the sky.

.......

Li Tan was fully focused, not looking sideways, meticulously controlling the Talisman brush, slowly lowering it.

The Spiritual Qi flowed like a Dragon and snake on the Talisman paper, subtly emitting a trace of sparks.

This also made Li Tan see hope, his ambition soared, and he did not stop, wanting to complete the drawing in one go!

The Talisman paper shook violently, and Li Tan quickly propelled Spiritual Qi to stabilize it. The Talisman brush in his hand trembled incessantly, and he had to once again divide his attention to control the Talisman brush.

It was like robbing Peter to pay Paul; the three aspects could never be stabilized, with problems appearing in rotation.

Ultimately, Li Tan was defeated, and the Talisman was destroyed again....

Half a day later.

Li Tan adjusted his Qi to its Peak, and once again attempted to draw a Talisman. Having learned from his previous experiences, this time he was fully prepared.

First, he stabilized the Talisman paper, then focused on controlling the Talisman brush, and as for the drawing steps, he proceeded gradually, completely calming his mind, treating it like his daily Cultivation.

The Talisman brush made stroke after stroke, and the long-lost flames emerged again, the runes also faintly shimmering with color.

Regarding these changes, Li Tan's heart had no ripple of emotion; he continued to wield the Talisman brush in his hand, his eyes filled with calmness.

Three hours later.

Time passed by minute by minute, the runes had gradually transformed into crimson, and their surroundings were no longer small flames, but wisps of raging fire.

This time, there was no sign of failure.

The drawing of the Talisman in his hand seemed to be a sure thing.

As the final stroke concluded, the violent flames gradually subsided, and the Spiritual Power completely flowed into the runes.

Li Tan suddenly stood up from his stiff posture, his face filled with excitement and thrill, and he let out a soft cry!

"Lieyan Talisman, complete!"

All eyes in the field were cast upon him, accompanied by different emotions.

They marveled at Li Tan's success and deeply envied his success, especially concerning the Lieyan Talisman, whose drawing process was incredibly complex.

Everyone felt impatient, yet helpless, and could only persuade themselves to calm down and draw carefully.

Xu Yan, seated high above, naturally sensed the fluctuations of the Lieyan Talisman. Following the hot aura, he looked towards Li Tan's position.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes; he had never expected that the first person to succeed would be Li Tan.

"Could it be that this boy exchanged his Dao of the Sword Genius for the Genius of crafting Talismans?"

With a thought from Xu Yan, the Lieyan Talisman in the distance flew before him. After a rough examination,

He nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Li Tan. Clearly, this Lieyan Talisman was flawless and had officially entered the ranks of Low Grade Rank One.

Xu Yan praised, saying:

"Li Tan, this Lieyan Talisman is of acceptable quality, you are very good."

For excellent Geniuses, Xu Yan would not be stingy with praise, and for dull mediocre talents, Xu Yan would also try to remedy them.

He did not give too much attention to one person, nor did he show favoritism or importance to one person; in this regard, he truly treated everyone equally.

Li Tan humbly said, "Thank you, Revered Master, for your praise. This Disciple will certainly Cultivate even more diligently in the future."

In contrast, Wang Longzhi beside him frowned, constantly scratching his hair with his right hand, his face filled with worry, and his sighs could be heard from time to time.

For a burly man, if he were sent to the battlefield, he would probably charge forward with his saber without thinking.

But if he were asked to calm down and transcribe poems, it would be more unbearable than killing him.

Night gradually descended.

Only two people in the field had completed the drawing of the Lieyan Talisman: Li Tan and Li Wenwen.

................

Although Li Tan had successfully crafted the Lieyan Talisman, there was a great deal of luck involved.

If he were to craft it again, his chances of success would not exceed thirty percent; he could only rely on a large amount of Talisman paper and Materials to gamble on luck.

At this time, he needed someone to teach him techniques and how to achieve a higher success rate in crafting Talismans.

During the crafting process, Li Tan had too many questions in his mind. Regarding those deeper blind spots, Master Xu Yan merely glossed over them.

Some confusing principles deeply perplexed him.

And at this moment, Mu Xinling's role officially became apparent; the communication process between them went smoothly without any unexpected issues.

Li Tan and Wang Longzhi waited quietly in the small pavilion. Few Disciples traveled at night; almost no one could be seen.

The situation of Utility Disciples within the Sect was entirely about survival, so perhaps their concerns would be greater....

And although the Low Grade Disciples had a certain status, thinking of the cunning Li Yan, even he found it difficult to navigate, so perhaps his daily life was also very tough.

Before Li Tan's thoughts settled, a pure-looking young woman walked into the stone pavilion. Through the moonlight, her face could be vaguely glimpsed.

She had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, gentle as water, paired with a small nose; it was hard to tell whether she was beautiful or cute at first glance.

Her hair was very soft, emitting a faint luster in the moonlight; it was simply beautiful.

Upon their first meeting, there was a barrier between them, and Li Tan did not meticulously observe Mu Xinling's appearance.

It turned out she was like Li Na, just as beautiful, just as... dazzling.

Seeing Li Tan somewhat dazed, Mu Xinling covered her mouth and smiled: "We meet again, Brother Tan."

What a strange feeling, it actually stirred my emotions and even disrupted my thoughts.

Li Tan was very surprised; this was a feeling he had never experienced before.

It was very warm, and it made one yearn for it, and even ponder over small issues.

However, he quickly suppressed this wonderful feeling and said with a smile: "Miss Mu, I'm truly troubling you, having to come out even at night to clear my doubts."

Wang Longzhi beside him frowned, his face somewhat pale, seeing the two talking and laughing, he always felt like he was superfluous.

Since he was young, whenever he saw a female, he would uncontrollably lower his head, and his face would turn completely red from shyness.
