"Yes!"
I nodded solemnly. Just as I expected, Lin Yi had high hopes for this weapon.
As I said that, I carefully put away my sword and followed Lin Yi's lead to the altar that he had already built.
It wasn't until then that I realized that Lin Yi had already drawn a large amount of paper before we came back. However, most of them were low-level paper talismans like "Life Talismans" and "Ghost Avoidance Talismans".
Such talismans usually had limited power, especially the Life Talisman. It did not even have any offensive power.
Its only function was probably to serve as a " defense " or " warning " effect!
This was because it could simulate the aura of a living person to confuse ghosts. Once a ghost approached and wanted to attack a human, it would first attack the Life Talisman to buy the wearer some time to react.
However, this kind of talisman paper also had a huge advantage, and that was that anyone could use it! There was no need to chant any incantations at all. One only needed to wear it on their body. Regardless of whether it was an ordinary person or a Cultivator, the effect was almost the same.
In that case, these low-level talismans weren't prepared for Lin Yi and me. It was so that Xie Jin and his bodyguards, as well as ordinary people like Yu Haitao, would have a certain amount of self-protection power, so that they wouldn't be confused and fall into the trap again.
Not only that, I also noticed that almost every bodyguard around me had pomelo leaves and willow branches on them!
The pomelo leaves were used to ward off evil spirits, while the willow branches were used to fight ghosts.
As the saying goes,"The willow branch hits the ghost, the more it hits, the smaller it becomes."”
This was indeed recorded in the Taoist classics. This thing was indeed a "sharp weapon" to prevent ghosts!
The willow tree itself was also of the Yin attribute. However, the so-called " extreme Yin produces Yang " caused the willow tree's branches to have extremely strong Yang energy!
On the other hand, ghosts were a collection of Yin Qi. Once they were hit by a willow branch, they would naturally be injured to a certain extent.
However, this was not absolute. If one wanted to fight ghosts, they could only use the willow branches that grew by the river. If it were the mountain willows on the mountain, they would be very evil and suitable for ghosts to hide. Not only would they not be able to fight ghosts, but they might even attract some evil spirits, which would only cause trouble for themselves.
Moreover, even the willow branches by the river were generally only effective on ordinary ghosts. If it were a malicious ghost with a deep cultivation like Ghost Baby, not only would this thing not cause any harm to him, but it would even arouse its ferocity. In the end, the gains would not make up for the losses.
However, this was already the best solution at the moment!
Even Lin Yi couldn't give a normal person the ability to deal with malicious ghosts in such a short period of time. At the critical moment, Lin Yi and I had to rely on ourselves!
As for Xie Jin and his bodyguards, it was already very rare for them to be able to protect themselves temporarily.
Only after Lin Yi and I have dealt with the ghost babies and the other ghosts will we need to deal with the disciples of the Demonic Moon Sect directly. That's when they'll show their true abilities.
The reason Lin Yi and I wanted to work with Xie Jin was because he had resources that we couldn't reach for the time being, but it was also because of this.
If we really get rid of the evil spirits like the ghost babies, we will inevitably face the disciples of the Demonic Moon Sect!
And with the style of the " Demonic Moon Sect ", there would definitely be violence. The burly men who were called to the hospital by Qin Lili's stepmother were undoubtedly a good example!
In terms of pure individual strength, any of Xie Jin's bodyguards who were retired soldiers would be able to throw us a hundred thousand miles away.
As expected, Lin Yi threw all the low-level talismans on the table to Yu Haitao as soon as I stepped onto the altar.
Everyone received a life talisman and a ghost warding talisman, and Lin Yi taught them the ghost warding spell as well.
After witnessing all the weird things that happened before and witnessing our strength, these bodyguards didn't dare to be careless. He quickly put away the talisman in his hand with a solemn expression. At the same time, he memorized the incantation of the "Ghost Repelling Curse" in his heart.
Don't look down on just a few unremarkable yellow papers and a few simple incantations. At a critical moment, this thing might be able to save their lives!
As for Xie Jin himself, his reaction was rather mediocre, as if he did not care about these low-grade talisman papers at all. Instead, he looked at the pile of high-grade jade pendants on the table with a burning expression, as well as the few thumb-sized sapphires.
My gaze also swept across the pile of high-grade jade pendants and discovered that they had already been carved with the embryonic form of a talisman. Unfortunately, they were only superficial and did not have any talisman characters carved on them at all…
It seemed that even Lin Yi didn't have absolute confidence in making the blue talisman! At this moment, he was probably still brewing his emotions so that he could adjust to his best state. At the same time, he was waiting for the arrival of tonight's midnight.
Lin Yi already explained this to me when he drew the talisman.
It was said that in a day,"Zi Shi" and "Hai Shi" were actually the most suitable for making talismans! This was because these two periods of time were the time when yang dissipated and yin grew. When yin and yang intersected, the spiritual qi was the heaviest.
Lin Yi was quite skilled in the field of talismans-he didn't need to be so careful with normal yellow talismans like the Life Talisman and Ghost Avoidance Talisman.
However, if he wanted to create a blue talisman that was of a higher grade than the yellow talisman, he naturally had to consider all the factors. Because any mistake could lead to the failure of the talisman creation!
I looked at the time. It was only around five o'clock in the afternoon. The sun hadn't even set. If I really waited until midnight tonight, there would be at least five hours left.
I was bored to death when Lin Yi suddenly smiled at me."How is it? Do you want to try again? This time, I have a high-grade jade pendant as a medium. If you can display the same level as last time, you might really be able to make a blue talisman!”
"Come on!"
"Even you aren't confident in making the 'Blue Talisman', so why are you making things difficult for me?"”
After saying that, I decided to jump down from the spell altar and find a place to continue studying my Yin Yang Qi Combining Art. Ever since I flipped through a few pages in the afternoon, I was deeply attracted by the "Maoshan Art" on it. Just learning a few moves would benefit me a lot.
However, Lin Yi grabbed me the moment I turned around. He lowered his voice and said sternly,"Brat! Are you stupid?"
"It's rare to have such a good opportunity. Someone has provided us with such high-level materials. We can use them to practice. If you really miss such an opportunity, with our own financial resources, it would be even more difficult than ascending to the heavens to have such a good opportunity again!”
"That's right!"
I slapped my forehead, and my eyes lit up. Lin Yi's words were like an epiphany, and I instantly reacted!
A long time ago, his master had said that on the path of cultivation, the requirements for "wealth, partners, techniques, and land" were particularly high. Especially "wealth", which was worthy of being ranked first.
The "wealth" here actually referred to the economic conditions, because cultivation was a very money-burning act! As the saying went, the economic base determined the upper structure. This saying was also applicable in the cultivation world!
Because without a certain economic foundation, it would be very difficult to concentrate on cultivation! The ancients said,"No wealth is not enough to cultivate Dao." This was actually the truth.
Let's not talk about other things, just take the talisman making as an example. Let's not talk about other materials like cinnabar and red saltpeter. Just the pile of high-grade jade pendants and sapphires in front of us is definitely not something we can afford on our own, let alone use them to practice.
Xie Jin is 'rich and magnanimous'. At the same time, he is very eager to get rid of the hidden danger of the' Demon Moon Gate'. That's why he can provide us with such sufficient talisman making materials in one go!
"If it were us, we would probably hesitate for a long time just to buy one of the jade pendants.
"Alright then! Let's try!"
I didn't hesitate any longer after understanding this. I took the pen from Lin Yi's hand and started to gather my emotions, preparing to draw the talisman on the jade.
However, the strange thing was that I couldn't find the same feeling of concentration after holding Lin Yi's talisman pen for a long time.
"Eh?"
I put down Lin Yi's talisman pen and took out the one my master left behind.
As expected, almost as soon as I dipped the talisman pen in the ink mixed with sapphire powder and recited the Imperial Brush Curse in my heart, that extremely calm and ethereal feeling enveloped me almost instantly!
At the same time, I couldn't help but think of the runes that my master often carved.
"Phew-"
Taking a deep breath, the pen in my hand finally began to move!
At first, it was extremely obscure, but then it gradually entered a good state. It became faster and faster, like a swimming dragon, quickly tracing on the jade pendant.
The tip of the pen danced rapidly on the jade pendant, but I couldn't help but feel extremely calm. It was as if I didn't need to use any force at all. The tip of the pen had already imprinted a large number of runes on the jade pendant.
However, just as I was about to successfully copy the runes in my mind onto the jade pendant, the feeling from last time appeared almost immediately again!
Very suddenly, the talisman brush in my hand seemed to have turned into a vortex, continuously devouring my entire "essence, spirit". My physical strength was rapidly depleting!
In just a short moment, more than half of the essence, qi, and spirit in my body had been extracted!
Even though I had already mentally prepared myself, I still couldn't help but tremble. I staggered and almost fell off the altar!
However, I finally gritted my teeth and persevered. I stabilized my body in time, and the hook in my hand did not show any flaws.
Perhaps it's because I've already successfully established my foundation. Although the devouring this time was even more ferocious than the last time, I miraculously withstood it. He gritted his teeth and decisively drew the last rune on the jade pendant!
Bang!
Almost at the same time I finished drawing the last stroke, I felt the table in front of me shake slightly. Then, a magical scene happened…
Lin Yi added sapphire powder into the ink, but its main color was still cinnabar red! Even if it was drawn on a crystal clear jade pendant, it was the same!
However, just as I finished writing the last rune, the originally blood-red rune on the jade pendant suddenly transformed into a faint blue at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before I could react, Lin Yi pushed me away and picked up the jade on the table. He was surprised and happy, but he couldn't believe it."F * ck! It really is a blue talisman?"
"You've succeeded!"
