After Qin Yang returned to Ruan Xinxue's apartment, he went directly to his room to meditate. An hour later, he finished his meditation.
Exiting the bedroom, he saw that Ruan Xinxue and Ling Xiaoyu had already returned to the apartment. The two women were curled up with their slender legs on the sofa in the living room, eating snacks and watching TV.
"Here, Qin Yang, the paper you wanted."
Seeing Qin Yang come out, Ruan Xinxue smiled and handed him a thick stack of yellow paper.
"Great!"
Qin Yang's face lit up with joy as he gently rubbed the paper. It felt lightweight, soft, and resilient, with an excellent texture. This stack of talisman paper was very well crafted, exceeding Qin Yang's expectations.
With the talisman paper, he could start making talismans.
"Sister Ruan, I'm going to retreat for a few days."
Qin Yang said urgently.
The greatest advantage of talismans lies in the ability to seal spiritual power using talisman paper and beast blood infused with spiritual energy, to be released when encountering danger.
In the Immortal Yuan Continent, talismans are a powerful weapon for many cultivators. Some powerful talisman masters carry thousands or even tens of thousands of talismans with them. Just imagine, if they threw out a thousand at once, even someone several levels stronger than them could be in danger of falling.
As a brilliant disciple of the Celestial Dao Sect, Qin Yang was quite adept at talisman making, alchemy, and array formation.
"Alright, go ahead."
Ruan Xinxue nodded, indicating that she and Xiaoyu wouldn't disturb him.
Inside the bedroom, Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the floor. On one side, he placed the talisman paper cut with the White Jade Flying Saber, and on the other, the jar filled with Silver Spirit Python Blood.
There are three factors that affect the quality of a talisman: first is the talisman paper, high-level talisman paper can seal spiritual power longer and store more of it;
Second is the beast blood used to draw the rune. The more powerful the spirit beast the blood comes from, the more potent the talisman, although the blood of powerful spirit beasts contains many violent elements, testing the talisman maker's control during crafting;
Third is the skill level of the talisman maker.
Generally speaking, talismans that can release Level One to Level Three spells are considered low-level talismans, those that can release Level Four to Level Six spells are intermediate talismans, and those capable of releasing Level Seven or higher spells are high-level talismans.
Limited by the talisman paper, beast blood, and his own power, Qin Yang could only make low-level talismans for now.
"Phew!"
Qin Yang exhaled softly, slowly closing his eyes to calm his heart and spirit.
While drawing talismans, one must remain focused. Even the slightest error or distraction can turn the entire talisman to ashes.
When Qin Yang reopened his eyes, his dark pupils were tranquil and profound, without a ripple. His left hand flicked, and a sheet of talisman paper floated into the air.
Qin Yang pointed his right index finger at the jar of Silver Spirit Python Blood, and a wisp of beast blood rose up like flowing water.
The Nine Revolutions Star Technique began to circulate within Qin Yang, and the spiritual power at his fingertip merged with the beast blood, emitting a scarlet glow.
"Fall!"
With a mild shout, Qin Yang's finger landed on the talisman paper, quickly sketching lines of runes.
Boom!
Even though Qin Yang was very careful, as soon as there was a slight error in one of the runes, the entire sheet of talisman paper ignited and turned to ashes.
"The first one failed."
Qin Yang said softly, undeterred. After all, it had been a long time since he last made a talisman, and even talisman masters experience failure at times.
Steadying his heart and mind, Qin Yang's left hand lifted again, sending another sheet of talisman paper floating. On his right index finger, spiritual power and beast blood merged, his fingertip dancing across the talisman paper with agility.
"Seal the spirit, the talisman is complete!"
Qin Yang said in a low voice, as his fingertip touched the talisman paper one last time and then pulled away.
On the talisman paper, the scarlet rune flickered momentarily, emitting a trace of light, before the glow retracted, and it gently floated down.
"The Fireball Talisman is finally completed!"
Qin Yang caught it with an expression of immense joy. The talisman paper displayed a flaming rune, vivid and lifelike.
After successfully creating the first Fireball Talisman, Qin Yang went on to make more than ten Fireball Talismans in one go until he ran out of spiritual power and had to stop to use the Nine Revolutions Star Technique to recover.
"Next, I'll make ten Ice Talismans," Qin Yang murmured.
Ice Talismans can release the Level Two spell Ice Technique, emitting intense cold to hinder the enemy's movements.
Making the Ice Talismans went smoothly. After losing two sheets of talisman paper, all ten were completed.
Qin Yang also made ten each of Wind Blade Talisman, Spring Rain Talisman, and Water Defense Talisman, which are all Level Two talismans.
"Rise!"
Qin Yang raised his hand, and fifty talismans formed a circle around him, each glowing with different lights.
Fireball Talismans shone red with flame runes; Ice Talismans were ice white with icy runes; Wind Blade Talismans were green with crescent-shaped runes; Spring Rain Talismans were light green with a raindrop rune; Water Defense Talismans for defense were dark blue with spherical ring runes.
As he gazed at the talismans circling around him, Qin Yang's eyes were filled with deep joy. But even with these, it wasn't enough; he needed to make even more powerful talismans as trump cards.
"Let's attempt a few Level Three talismans."
Qin Yang's eyes gleamed with determination as he took a deep breath. He needed to adjust his state to its peak while crafting Level Three talismans.
Right away, Qin Yang began circulating the Nine Revolutions Star Technique, his breathing growing calm and steady.
"For the first one, I'll make a Thunder Shock Talisman."
Qin Yang murmured to himself.
Thunder Shock Talisman, a Level Three talisman, stored the Level Three spell Thunder Shock Skill within the talisman paper.
"Lightning Spirit, gather at my finger!"
Qin Yang chanted a spell verse, and as soon as he finished, brilliant lightning gathered at his fingertip, crackling with tiny lightning arcs.
With a focused mind, Qin Yang lifted a strand of beast blood that merged with the Thunder Spirit Power at his finger. His hand moved swiftly over the talisman paper, sketching a lightning-shaped rune.
"Seal the spirit!"
Qin Yang called out softly, his eyes fixed intently on the thunderously glowing talisman paper, touching it one last time before withdrawing his hand.
Buzz!
The entire talisman paper trembled, and a silver light flashed across it. The thunderous glow subsided immediately, leaving the talisman paper still.
The talisman sported a silver lightning pattern, exuding an ancient aura.
"Success!"
Qin Yang appeared slightly pale, yet his eyes gleamed with intense joy. If he encountered that Flame Wolf again, this one Thunder Shock Talisman would be enough to paralyze it entirely.
After setting aside the Thunder Shock Talisman, Qin Yang composed himself before drawing a Flame Burst Talisman and a Divine Movement Talisman. However, during the making of the Flame Burst Talisman, an explosion occurred, leaving Qin Yang covered in soot and his clothes burned with several holes.
The Divine Movement Talisman is used for escaping; when applied to the legs, it unleashes their full potential, enabling one to speed swiftly over a hundred miles in a day.
Having three Level Three talismans, Qin Yang didn't stop there; he had talismans for attack, defense, and escape, but he still needed one more—a talisman for controlling the enemy.
"Next, I'll make the last talisman, the Poison Spirit Talisman!"
Determination gleamed in Qin Yang's eyes as he produced the small jade bottle containing Silver Spirit Python venom.
