Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 58: Talisman Making

The disciples lined up one by one in front of the Liu-named service disciple, then each took out 12 Spirit Stones and handed them over.

This Liu-named service disciple was evidently well-prepared, continuously taking out talisman brushes, talisman ink, and talisman paper from their storage bag.

Standing in line, Chu Ning vaguely heard a faint sound from behind.

"These talisman brushes and talisman ink seem to be of very ordinary quality. I remember you can buy them for this grade in the sect.

The talisman brush requires only 8 Spirit Stones, and both the talisman ink and talisman paper are only 1 Spirit Stone each."

"Senior Brother Liu worked so hard to exchange them for us from the sect, making a Spirit Stone is normal. If we really buy from the market, it would definitely cost 10 Spirit Stones.

Besides, buying from the market would also waste time. We only have five days."

Hearing these conversations, Chu Ning remained silent.

He inexplicably thought of Zhuang Yunde, suddenly feeling that the rotund senior brother was quite good.

At least if Zhuang Yunde wanted something from him, he would first help him gain some achievements.

Though thinking this way, when it came to actually taking out the Spirit Stones, Chu Ning did so quickly and smoothly.

Taking the talisman brush, ink, and paper from the other’s hand, Chu Ning turned and left the dojo.

Even though his own storage bag had plenty of talisman paper, he was too lazy to waste words explaining at this moment.

At this time, his gaze inadvertently glanced at the others who were promoted alongside him.

Luo Hongping and Lu Yunfang had naturally left a long time ago, and Chu Ning saw that Lu Ming and Chen Jinhua had already gone to the back of the queue.

Only Jiang Dawei still had a conflicted expression on his face.

Finally, as Chu Ning was about to leave, he stood up and joined the end of the line.

Evidently, for most disciples, although spending 12 Spirit Stones to try was a bit costly,

no one could resist such temptation.

Chu Ning quickly rushed back to his residence from the dojo without looking further.

The Spirit Plant Room had not yet explained how to arrange his fields and residence, and Chu Ning temporarily decided not to think about it.

Upon returning to his residence, Chu Ning went to his room and took out the talisman brush, ink, and paper from the storage bag.

Then, he took a sheet of paper that recorded the Talisman Making Technique for the Wood Escape Talisman and carefully looked it over.

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Ning fully memorized the Talisman Making Technique.

Just as he was about to start writing, Chu Ning stopped himself and decided to first practice the Refining Spirit Technique with closed eyes.

Creating talismans is a meticulous task that requires full concentration.

And for concentration, the Refining Spirit Technique is undoubtedly highly effective.

Two more periods later, Chu Ning slowly opened his eyes with a hint of doubt in them.

He felt that today’s Refining Spirit Technique practice did not seem as effective as his usual morning and evening sessions.

"Perhaps I’m too preoccupied with talisman making today." Chu Ning thought, brushing it off.

His gaze returned to the items on the table, going over every detail of talisman making in his mind once more.

Ensuring that he had the Spirit Talisman Dao Rune fully memorized.

Only then did Chu Ning lay a piece of talisman paper on the table and open the talisman ink.

Immediately, a mix of Spiritual Qi and a faint blood-like scent emerged.

Chu Ning had already heard that talisman ink was typically mixed with some demon beast blood, so he was not surprised.

He picked up the talisman brush, dipped it in ink, and infused it with spiritual power. The next moment, the brush tip touched the talisman paper.

Spiritual power flowed through the spiritual brush, wrapped in talisman ink, and began to sketch the Dao Rune on the paper.

But just as Chu Ning’s brush had barely started, the spiritual power at the tip began to fluctuate.

The next moment, the talisman paper ignited and turned to ash.

This marked Chu Ning’s first failure at talisman making.

Chu Ning set down the brush, closed his eyes slightly, and reflected on what had just happened, gaining some insight.

He realized that his spiritual power control had been unstable, and the fluctuation led to the failure.

However, Chu Ning was not discouraged. With his Talismanic Spirit Body, his talent was certainly far stronger than an average person’s.

The insight he gained in that moment was somehow related to his spirit body talent.

Thinking this, Chu Ning took a deep breath, laid another talisman paper on the table, and picked up the brush dipped in ink.

Once again, the brush touched the talisman paper, and Chu Ning focused his concentration, guiding the brush tip to once again sketch the Dao Rune.

The brush tip glided over the talisman paper, appearing exceptionally smooth and fluid.

With Chu Ning’s final stroke, a complete Dao Rune appeared on the talisman paper.

Seeing this, Chu Ning felt a slight satisfaction and immediately raised the brush.

"..."

The next moment, the talisman paper filled with Dao Runes once again ignited, turning to ash.

"I got a bit too excited at the last moment and lost control."

Chu Ning slightly shook his head, understanding the reason.

This time, he didn’t dwell on it.

Quickly laying out another piece of talisman paper, he infused spiritual power into the brush again, dipped it in ink, and set down the brush in one fluid motion.

With the previous two experiences, Chu Ning became more familiar with the Dao Rune.

Spiritual power enveloped the brush tip, like a spiritual snake gliding over the talisman paper. Chu Ning immersed all his heart and mind into it, with no distractions.

Chu Ning seemed to feel as if the Dao Rune was etched into his mind, his hand movements flowing with ease as if enchanted!

In a time shorter than before, a complete Dao Rune appeared on the talisman paper.

Chu Ning’s mind remained tranquil, without much pause, he lifted the brush smoothly.

At the same time, the Dao Rune on the talisman paper glowed with a faint blue light.

The blue light flashed briefly and then disappeared into the paper.

The next moment, a talisman imbued with spiritual energy appeared on the table before Chu Ning.

"Finally succeeded, this is the Wood Escape Talisman!"

Looking at the talisman, a smile appeared on Chu Ning’s face, his eyes shining brightly.

Although he had not yet tested its effect, based on his past experiences using talismans.

The slight spiritual power fluctuation indicated the quality of this talisman.

A high-level Wood Escape Talisman.

Only on his third attempt did he successfully create a high-level Wood Escape Talisman!

"The Source Rune Spirit Body talent is truly remarkable!"

Chu Ning quietly muttered to himself. He picked up the Wood Escape Talisman to test its effect.

Thinking again, he didn’t try it in the courtyard.

Taking the Wood Escape Talisman to the Spiritual Field where he had previously planted Ink Spirit Bamboo, he stood at one end and infused it with spiritual power.

Activate!

The Wood Escape Talisman was successfully activated, and the next moment, Chu Ning was enveloped in a faint blue light.

With a flash, he found himself ten zhang away.

"I’ve mastered the creation of the Wood Escape Talisman. Now, let’s see the success rate."

Chu Ning chuckled lightly, turned, and left the Spiritual Field, returning to his residence.

Taking out the talisman brush, paper, ink, and other items from the storage bag once again, Chu Ning embarked on his grand talisman-making endeavor.

After over half an hour, Chu Ning wore a look of slight fatigue mixed with excitement as he finally stopped making talismans.

On the table before him now lay a small stack of high-quality Wood Escape Talismans.
