Chapter 45 Creating Talismans
Red lanterns were hung along the exterior of the study; today was Li Shiming’s first New Year in this world, having arrived here just over three months ago.
If it weren’t for seeing Steward Zhang hanging up the red lanterns, he wouldn’t have known that the New Year had arrived.
The New Year reminded him of another world, the relatives and friends from that world, all of which he could not return to. In this world, the only emotional tie he had formed with his original self was with his father, Li WenYuan.
At this moment, his father Li WenYuan was not by his side either, and an intense sense of loneliness led him to seek out something to distract his thoughts. So, he took out a talisman pen from the chamber’s space.
This talisman pen was called the ’Snow Spirit Pen’ and was significantly stronger than the ones he had purchased.
This, indeed, was a talisman pen reserved for the use of the Hao Family cultivators, naturally more superior than the ones the Hao Family sold.
On the desk, there was a piece of greenish-yellow talisman paper and a small dish of talismanic ink.
The talismanic ink was concocted by him, produced in the chamber’s space through his consciousness, its quality needless to say was undoubtedly the epitome of talismanic ink materials.
This particular ink was specially prepared for the ’Basic Light Body Talisman’. He had bought some in the market and found a huge quantity of talismanic ink materials in the storage bag of a Hao Family cultivator, enough to last him for a long time.
The principle behind talisman creation was to solidify already formed Magic Runes using the talisman paper.
This process was full of uncertainties: undetectable indentations on the talisman paper, uneven mixtures in the talismanic ink, slight anomalies in the cultivator’s Spiritual Power Pattern, the speed at which the Spiritual Power Pattern was conducted through the talisman pen, the process of merging the Spiritual Power Pattern with the talismanic ink, and so on.
It could be said that making a talisman was a process fraught with countless unpredictable factors. According to the records of the Hao Family cultivators, being able to produce ten successful talismans out of a hundred attempts could qualify one as a Beginner Talisman Master.
