Chapter 231: Bad Reputation
After a great deal of practice, his calligraphy had become more and more proficient, and he was already quite outstanding in integrating his heart and eyes as well as his hand and eyes. Unity of mind and hand had now become a matter of continuous hard work.
In the following two months, aside from consistent meditation and cultivation, Shen Luo would practice drawing thirty to forty Thunderfall Talismans and Flying Talismans every day.
It wasn’t that he was lazy and unwilling to practice more, but after painting so many talismans each time, his mana and divine sense power would be exhausted. There were even several instances where he passed out directly.
Until once, while using cinnabar to draw a Flying Talisman, the rune had just formed when a green light illuminated on the talisman paper, but after a faint flicker, it burst into flames with a “poof”.
Seeing this, Shen Luo was delighted, knowing that the rune was successfully formed and displayed a connection with divine qi on the talisman.
The reason for combustion was that both the talisman paper and the talisman ink were of poor quality and couldn’t carry the divine qi encapsulated within a high-order rune.
... So, Shen Luo started refining talisman ink and planned to begin the formal drawing of these two types of talismans.
Finally, there came a thunderstorm. Despite the ample preparation beforehand, he still suffered a lot when he started the actual refinement process.
Usually, he drew more Thunderfall Talismans, and his experience with them was richer. However, this first attempt was quite discouraging. It was only after using up thirty-eight sheets of Green Frost Paper before the sky cleared that he managed to barely complete one.
