64: Making a flying charm

“Should I sell the ice mountain snow lotus to her as well?”

“Forget it, no rush.”

The ice mountain snow lotus is a Material for refining Foundation Establishment Stage Medicinal Pills.

It is still useful to him.

Besides, the other party currently has no Materials that would attract him to trade.

If she had a wood spirit flower, Mu Feng wouldn't mind trading the ice mountain snow lotus to her.

However, since she was willing to offer Spirit Stones, she didn't bring out the wood spirit flower.

This indicates that she doesn't have what he needs right now.

At least not for now.

As for the even more precious ice origin fruit.

Mu Feng doesn't plan to trade it to her.

Unless the other party can produce something that truly moves him.

For example, a Shaman Treasure, a Magic Treasure, or a remnant page of the Azure Origin Sword Art.

Or other items that would greatly assist his strength.

Otherwise, everything is off the table.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the other party.

Mu Feng closed the chat window.

He was now eager to refine the Flying Talisman.

Speaking of which, this was his first time drawing Talismans.

Opening the Workshop.

Mu Feng brought up the Flying Talisman crafting blueprint.

[Flying Talisman: dan sand 5/5, Wolf Hair Brush 1/1, Yellow Talisman Paper 5/10, wind spirit stone 3/3, Beast Blood 50ml/200ml]

All the Materials were already gathered.

[System Reminder: Do you want to craft a Flying Talisman?]

“Craft!”

Mu Feng nodded.

[System Reminder: dan sand - 5, Wolf Hair Brush - 1, Yellow Talisman Paper - 5, Beast Blood - 50ml]

As his words fell.

All the Flying Talisman Materials were deducted.

Immediately after, a table appeared in the Workshop.

On it were red ink made from Beast Blood and dan sand, a Wolf Hair Brush, and five sheets of Yellow Talisman Paper.

A faint outline of a Talismanic Incantation was already drawn on the Yellow Talisman Paper.

It seemed he was supposed to draw the Flying Talisman following the outline.

[Flying Talisman Crafting Method: Use the Wolf Hair Brush to complete the Talismanic Incantation outline on the Yellow Talisman Paper to succeed.]

Well, now.

It really was.

“Alright, I’ll draw!”

Mu Feng grabbed the Wolf Hair Brush from the table.

He dipped the brush tip into the red ink.

Then he began to copy the Talismanic Incantation, filling it in.

It wasn't too difficult.

He just had to color in the Talismanic Incantation according to the outline.

But it wasn't simple either.

Because these Talismanic Incantations were very complex, like a Dragon and Phoenix dancing.

One careless mistake could easily lead to a drawing error.

And sure enough.

He had just drawn halfway when he failed to control the Wolf Hair Brush properly, causing too much ink to smudge and ruin the Talisman.

Thankfully, the System seemed to know this would happen.

It gave him five chances.

“Continue!”

Throwing away the ruined Yellow Talisman Paper.

Mu Feng focused his attention and began to copy another Talisman.

After one failed attempt.

Mu Feng drew more carefully.

Copying slowly, stroke by stroke.

When he was nearing the end, due to a fluctuation in his mood, he accidentally drew crooked.

Darn it!

His hard work was wasted again.

“Again!”

Mu Feng felt discouraged.

Although the first two attempts failed.

He wasn't without gains.

For example, he learned how to wield the brush comfortably.

And that he shouldn't dip too much ink.

Otherwise, it would easily soak through and make the brush difficult to write with.

Picking up the third sheet of Yellow Talisman Paper.

This time, Mu Feng didn't draw immediately.

Instead, he closed his eyes and went over it in his mind first.

“Start!”

Mu Feng confidently picked up the Wolf Hair Brush.

He had a premonition that this time, he would definitely succeed!

Facts proved his premonition was correct.

Having absorbed the lessons from the two failures.

This time, he drew very smoothly.

He almost finished it in one go without much stopping.

“Success!”

When the last stroke was drawn, the entire Yellow Talisman Paper lit up, transforming into a yellow Talisman.

The Talismanic Incantation drawn on it was exactly what he had copied.

[System Reminder: Flying Talisman crafted successfully!]

“It wasn’t easy!”

Looking at the Flying Talisman in his hand, Mu Feng was moved to tears.

[Name: Flying Talisman]

[Grade: Advanced Talisman]

[Effect: When activated and attached to the body, it allows one to fly high in the sky. Can be used multiple times until all its internal energy is depleted.]

“As expected of an Advanced Talisman.”

“It can actually be used multiple times!”

The Fireball Talisman he used before was all one-time use.

Mu Feng thought this Flying Talisman would be too.

But the result exceeded his expectations.

“Advanced goods are truly extraordinary!”

“Unlike those low-grade, gaudy Talismans.”

Mu Feng gleefully put the Flying Talisman away.

With this, he would no longer be afraid of being unable to enter Immortal Caves and Secret Realms where the teleportation gates were placed high in the sky.

It would also be of great use in combat, escaping, and pursuing.

If he couldn't defeat you, could he at least not outrun you?

Putting away the Flying Talisman.

Mu Feng calmed his emotions.

He returned to the table.

He still had two sheets left to draw.

Such good items couldn't be wasted.

Collecting his thoughts.

After returning to absolute focus.

Mu Feng continued to copy with the Wolf Hair Brush.

With one successful experience, this time the drawing went surprisingly smoothly.

He completed all the Talismanic Incantations on the Yellow Talisman Paper in one go.

[System Reminder: Flying Talisman crafted successfully!]

“Hehe, another one done!”

“No wonder people always say failure is the mother of success!”

Two consecutive successes made him very happy.

Crafting one was already not a loss.

Two was a huge profit.

Putting away the Flying Talisman.

Mu Feng continued to draw the last one.

However, the continuous success made him a bit overconfident.

When drawing, his brushstrokes were wild and unrestrained, like a Dragon and Snake.

As a result, he accidentally made a wrong stroke.

Leading to the failure of the last Talisman.

This made him a bit annoyed.

“Indeed, one should never be arrogant and complacent, no matter the time.”

He summarized the lessons from his failure.

It's better to make fewer such low-level mistakes in the future.

Making mistakes isn't terrible.

People, after all.

Always need to make mistakes to grow.

As long as one seriously corrects them.

And doesn't repeat the same mistakes.

After a self-reflection.

Mu Feng took out the two Flying Talismans he had successfully crafted earlier.

“Hehe, with this, I can fly too!”

Cultivating Immortals, after all.

Only by flying does one truly resemble an Immortal.

“Go go go!”

“Let's find an Immortal Cave Secret Realm and give it a good try.”

At this moment, he was already impatient to use the Flying Talisman’s flying ability.

He had rested enough too.

He still had eight explorations left for today.

He needed to speed up!

Little Lizard was still in slumber, so Mu Feng didn't disturb it.

Walking alone to the teleportation gate, Mu Feng began to choose a suitable Immortal Cave Secret Realm.

[The exit of the Immortal Cave Secret Realm ahead is in a deep pool. Unless you are a very good swimmer, it is not recommended to enter.]

You jerk!

I finally managed to refine a Flying Talisman, and you put the teleportation gate in the water, huh?

Mu Feng was fuming.

He felt like the dog author was targeting him.

Skip, skip!

[The Secret Realm on the left is good, it has your favorite iron chest.]

Iron chest?

Just so-so.

His appetite was huge now, one iron chest no longer satisfied him.

Next, next!

[The exit of the teleportation gate on the right is in the sky. Not recommended... Eh, you can fly now! Then it is highly recommended you enter, because this Secret Realm has not been ravaged by Yao Beasts below, and there are many Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Grasses you need inside, but be careful in the air.]

The exit is in the sky!

That's what he was waiting for!

Not ravaged?

Excellent!

You're the one!
