Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 71 - Seventy Talisman
Chapter 71: Seventy, Talisman
Chapter 71: Seventy, Talisman
Luo Shu opened her eyes and found herself lying in Lu Hanmo’s embrace, with him holding her as he continued to make his way, a sweet smile on his lips. How wonderful it was to have him by her side!
Feeling Luo Shu’s gaze, Lu Hanmo lowered his head, smiling gently at her, “Awake!” When he had stopped cultivating, it was already bright outside, and seeing that she was still cultivating, he didn’t disturb her and simply carried her on the journey.
“Mm!” Luo Shu smiled and nodded, gently patting Lu Hanmo’s arm, “Brother Lu, put me down, I have something to tell you.”
Lu Hanmo stopped in his tracks and gently set Luo Shu down as if she were a fragile treasure, with utmost care.
“Brother Lu, let me show you something.” Luo Shu flipped her hand and presented a talisman like a treasured gift, handing it to Lu Hanmo.
Lu Hanmo took the talisman and examined it, “Is this a talisman?” He naturally knew what talismans were; many temples had them. His mother would go to Master Chang Dan every New Year to get a peace charm for him, hoping he would be safe on the battlefield. But why was Shushu giving him this?
“This is not just any talisman, Brother Lu. Throw it and yell ‘Activate’, and you’ll see,” Luo Shu said with a mysterious smile. She hadn’t told Lu Hanmo about her talisman crafting.
Though Lu Hanmo was somewhat puzzled, he still did as Luo Shu had instructed and tossed the talisman.
“Activate!” As soon as Lu Hanmo’s words fell, the talisman instantly transformed into a blaze, engulfing a large tree in front of them, and in just a moment, the tree turned to ash.
“This…” Lu Hanmo’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was no regular talisman, was it?
“Impressive, right?” Luo Shu raised her eyebrows proudly.
Lu Hanmo looked back at Luo Shu, “Shushu, how do you have such a thing?” He had never heard of such talismans before.
“I crafted it myself.” Luo Shu took out the stack of talismans she had drawn earlier and handed them to Lu Hanmo, “These are Flame Talismans, Level One Talismans. When I level up my talisman crafting later, I can make Clear Water Talisman, Healing Talisman, Invisibility Talisman, and others. Brother Lu, keep these talismans.” She had now mastered how to craft Flame Talismans and could make them whenever she wanted.
Lu Hanmo nodded, taking the talismans and studying them closely before asking, “Can I learn talisman crafting?”
“Of course, take a look at this ‘Introduction to Talisman Crafting’.” Luo Shu handed over the book on the basics of talisman crafting. He had already started cultivating, and if he could also learn talisman crafting, that would be a tremendous addition to his abilities.
Lu Hanmo opened the book, but to his surprise, he couldn’t see a single word on it, “Shushu, why are there no words on this?”
“Impossible!” Luo Shu took the book, looked it over, then handed it back to Lu Hanmo, “Brother Lu, there are words here, look again.”
Lu Hanmo glanced at it once more, but it remained blank, and he chuckled helplessly, “It seems I am not destined to learn talisman crafting.” Of course, he didn’t suspect that Shushu would intentionally give him a blank book to read.
Luo Shu, looking puzzled, put away the talisman crafting book and took out an ‘Introduction to Alchemy’, passing it to Lu Hanmo, “Brother Lu, take a look at this one.”
Lu Hanmo examined it again and once more shook his head.
Luo Shu also flipped through it, refusing to give up, then swapped for another book, “How about this one?” Neither talisman crafting nor alchemy was visible to Brother Lu; she wondered, could he see a Primary Formation?
Lu Hanmo had intended to refuse, but seeing the determination on Luo Shu’s face, he cooperatively took the book, flipped it open, and a hint of surprise immediately appeared on his face, “I can see the contents now.” It was an introduction to formations, containing many introductions and applications of primary formations.
“It seems Brother Lu is suited to learn formations,” Luo Shu said with a smile. Could this book also choose its reader? Only those suited could see the contents?
She took out a book on the basics of formations and opened it, only to find she could not see the contents. This confirmed her speculation.
Packing up the books and talismans, the two continued on their way. Now, they were at the edge of the Yunxiang Mountain Range, so apart from encountering some small wild beasts, there was no longer any danger.
“Over this mountain, there should be a village,” Lu Hanmo pointed out, referring to the high mountain ahead.
“Then let’s hurry,” Luo Shu said, taking Lu Hanmo’s hand and moving forward. Although she was reluctant to leave Lu Hanmo so soon, she was also somewhat worried, as her family must have been very anxious without any news from her for so long. It would be great if that little village had a phone.
The mountain was very high and the mountain path extremely steep, but this had no effect on Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo.
The two of them took just over two hours to reach the mountaintop, and looking down from the summit, they could indeed see a small village in the distance.
The rows of simple cottages were neatly organized, stretching for miles, indicating the village was not small at all. Not far from the village lay a vast expanse of farmland. Although the weather had already turned cold, there were still many villagers busy in the fields.
Following the steep, winding mountain path, they walked toward the village.
“Help… help…” When they reached mid-mountain, a faint cry for help reached the ears of Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a middle-aged man in tattered clothes sitting on the ground, cradling his leg and groaning in pain.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Shu asked as she approached. Judging by his clothes, he must be a villager from nearby.
“I was bitten by a snake…” the middle-aged man replied weakly. Being poor, he had gone up the mountain to gather some wild products to sell in town, but instead of finding any, he had been bitten by a snake hiding under the leaves. In this weather, there normally wouldn’t be any snakes; it was just his bad luck.

“Lift your trouser leg, let me see,” Luo Shu instructed.
“You can save me…” The man’s eyes brightened, and a flicker of the will to survive ignited in them.
“I’m a doctor.” Typically, unless she found someone particularly disagreeable, she would help.
“Thank goodness, doctor, please save me,” the man’s gaze brightened further, and gritting his teeth, he slowly rolled up his trouser leg. As he lifted it, his swollen and somewhat blackened calf was revealed.
Luo Shu took a bottle of medicine and a dagger from her pocket and was about to go forward to treat the man when Lu Hanmo reached out, taking the dagger and bottle of medicine from her, “You say the word, I’ll do it.” Though he was not a doctor, he had treated people’s wounds before.
Luo Shu smiled mischievously at Lu Hanmo, who responded with an indifferent shrug of his shoulders. She was his future wife, after all; how could he possibly watch her touching another man’s leg?
