Chapter 218: Division of Talisman Paper
“Could it be that Master Shen doesn’t know the difference between these talisman papers?” Manager Ma appeared somewhat surprised when he heard this.
“I really have no idea. Please enlighten me,” said Shen Luo.
“Well, allow me to explain… These talismans are divided into different grades, and talisman papers also vary. The commonly seen yellow talisman paper, also known as Yellow List Paper, is the simplest and most inferior,” Manager Ma chuckled lightly before he explained.
“I know of this. Because the mana and Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi the Yellow Talisman Paper can withstand is limited, it can only be used to draw low-grade talismans. If one were to force a high-grade talisman onto it, the paper wouldn’t be able to bear it and would ignite. But what’s different about the Green Frost Paper?” Although Shen Luo knew that Green Frost Paper was better than Yellow Talisman Paper, he was unsure about the specifics.
“Does Friend Shen have heard of the phrase ‘green words and green chapters’?” Manager Ma asked in reply.
“Of course I have. ‘Green words and green chapters’ is a ceremonial phrase for Daoism, a written prayer sent to the heavens during rituals. Why do you ask this?” Shen Luo nodded and conjectured.
... “The Green Frost Paper also goes by another name – Green Words Paper.” Manager Ma stroked his beard and laughed.
“So, this Green Words Paper is used to write prayers?” Shen Luo asked, suddenly understanding.
“Correct, such talisman paper was originally made to write ‘green words and green chapters’, a way to communicate between Heaven and Earth. It is that when creating it, a spiritual material named Praying Spirit Fragrance was mixed in. Hence, when drawing talismans with this paper, it is easier to attract the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, leading to a naturally higher chance of success in talisman making,” Manager Ma explained.
