After the Qin family moved in, they became technical geeks.
Every day, Qin Ze buried his head in studying all kinds of talismans like a madman. He realized that the Lu family’s place was really blessed with good feng shui. When he drew talismans, they were much smoother than before. This feeling was simply too satisfying.
Drawing talismans was done in one go. The entire talisman would be destroyed if there was a fracture in the middle.
He could be considered a genius in the talisman cultivator world. In the past, he could barely succeed in drawing one out of every ten.
Now, he had successfully drawn three! Furthermore, with the enhancement of the Golden Light of Merit, he could even draw a top-grade talisman from time to time!
Although the probability was extremely low, that was a top-grade talisman! A top-grade talisman was an existence that could be taken out to be worshiped!
On this day, when Lu Xiaocha brought the Nightmare Cat over, she was shocked to see Qin Ze taking a very careful bath and burning incense. His beard and hair were also clean, revealing a handsome face. He was wearing a green Daoist robe, and he had also tidied it up.
Lu Xiaocha was speechless.
This was ridiculous. Was this still the sloppy uncle Qin Ze she knew?
Why did it look so unbelievable?
After Qin Ze was done, he took a deep breath and walked to the table to kneel down. He straightened his back and held the brush with one hand. There was a yellow talisman in front of him.
Right on the heels of that, he dipped the tip of his brush into the cinnabar and began to draw talismans calmly.
He looked extremely pious.
Lu Xiaocha felt that if he was not drawing talismans, she might really think that Qin Ze had been replaced.
Tsk tsk, he was completely different from usual.
Qin Ze’s expression was serious, but the first talisman… failed.
He was not discouraged. He took out another talisman and began to draw.
Soon, the second talisman failed as well. The third talisman only succeeded once.
He exhaled slowly and gently put down the brush. He picked up the talisman with obvious joy in his eyes.
Lu Xiaocha carried the Nightmare Cat over.
“It’s already so difficult for you to draw a talisman. I don’t think the jade talisman you made for me last time took very long.”
Qin Ze did not have time to be surprised that she was here. When he heard Lu Xiaocha’s words, he looked away guiltily and only spoke after a few seconds.
“M-my father and patriarch helped me with that.”
Lu Xiaocha asked curiously, “What about the points?”
Qin Ze scratched his head in embarrassment. ” In my card.”
Lu Xiaocha was speechless.
What a scammer.
Qin Ze chuckled. “When you were looking for me, I was short of points to buy things. It was a big deal for you to order so many protective jade talismans at once, so I accepted it. I begged my dad and grandpa for a long time before they agreed.”
With that, he handed the talisman he had drawn in front of him to Lu Xiaocha. “This is the first time I’ve drawn this talisman. It’s a healing talisman. If there are wounds on your body, you can immediately stop the bleeding with a talisman. A low-grade talisman can only stop the bleeding. The healing speed of a medium-grade wound is twice as fast as usual, and a high-grade one is five times. If you draw a top-grade talisman, a finger-wide wound will heal the next day!”
Before Lu Xiaocha could ask, Qin Ze started talking excitedly.
Lu Xiaocha praised him symbolically and looked at the twisted lines on the yellow talisman. She could not understand them, but the lines that formed a mysterious pattern made her feel the gentle energy contained in them.
“Do you have the Five Thunder Talisman? Let me take a look.”
Qin Ze did not think much and passed her a Five Thunder Talisman.
Lu Xiaocha held it in her hand and looked at it. The feeling the Five Thunder Talisman gave her was completely different from that healing talisman. The energy inside was stronger and more violent.
This power was sealed in the lines and yellow paper. Once it was activated, the energy inside would overflow.
“You didn’t finish here.”
Lu Xiaocha pointed at a point of the Five Thunder Talismans.
“The energy’s stuck here.”
Thud…
Something fell to the ground.
Lu Xiaocha turned around and realized that Qin Ze, who had picked up the pen and was about to continue drawing, had dropped the pen in his hand.
He stood up abruptly.
“What did you just say? Which part wasn’t drawn properly?”
Lu Xiaocha did not understand why he was so excited, but she still pointed out the place.
“Here, these lines seem to have caused a traffic jam. When the energy in the talisman converged here, it was chaotic.”
Lu Xiaocha didn’t know how to describe it. She used modern traffic to describe it. Those lines were like roads, and the energy inside was like motorcycle traffic.
All the lines formed an array formation that gathered energy. Different array formations had different effects.
However, some places could actually be reduced in Lu Xiaocha’s eyes.
For example, the place she was pointing at just now.
“Why don’t you try removing this extra line?”
Qin Ze held the Five Thunder Talisman in his hand. He frowned for a while, and then his brows relaxed as he seemed to be deep in thought.
In short, it was quite fun to watch.
The Nightmare Cat patted his arm with its long tail. “Stupid meow, why don’t you try it?”
Qin Ze patted his head. “Yes, I’ll give it a try.”
Qin Ze’s eyes lit up. He picked up the brush on the ground and wiped it clean before taking a deep breath and starting to draw on the blank yellow talisman.
He had already thought of the improved structure of the Five Thunder Talisman in his mind.
However, he still failed the first time.
The Nightmare Cat nagged, “Why are you so stupid? You’ve drawn so many times, but you still can’t draw well. You failed again.”
Qin Ze was speechless.
If you can do it, do it.
The Nightmare Cat raised its chin proudly and meowed twice. “What are you looking at? I’m motivating you. It’s your blessing to be able to get me to guide you, understand?”
Qin Ze: “… Do I want this blessing?”
The Nightmare Cat was speechless.
‘Brazen human, why did you interrupt the Nightmare Cat’s words!’
Lu Xiaocha grabbed the Nightmare Cat’s mouth. “Quiet, shut up!”
The Nightmare Cat was speechless.
He cursed in his heart, but he did not continue to press the issue.
This time, he only tried twice, and Qin Ze’s Five Thunder Talisman was completed.
When he put away the brush, the red lines drawn with cinnabar flashed with golden light, indicating that the talisman had succeeded!
Qin Ze’s heart was overwhelmed with joy, and his eyes were as bright as stars.
“It’s really… It’s really possible. It really succeeded!”
He was so excited that his hair was trembling slightly.
He suddenly stood up and hugged Lu Xiaocha before spinning around. “Hahaha… It really worked. I succeeded. I succeeded…”
Right on the heels of joy turned into sorrow, and his face was beaten up.
It was not Lu Xiaocha who had beaten him up, but Fu Ye, who had come to look for her.
Qin Ze received a perfect black eye.
Fu Ye caught Lu Xiaocha. His handsome face was dark and his voice was even more sinister.
“What were you doing?”
Qin Ze: “!!!”
Ow, ow, ow!
