Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 127 Then try it
Sun Qinghan is a disciple who has already completed his apprenticeship. This type of disciple often travels outside, and most of them only have rented residences in the sect.

It might not be possible to find her in the forest at normal times, but fortunately, everyone had just returned to the sect and she had not had time to go out.

When Sun Qinghan found her at the Lingfeng Mountain in the back mountain according to the address she had given him, she was surrounded by a group of young women.

When we arrived in the woods, the girls were still chattering excitedly, and everyone looked excited.

At this moment, seeing someone coming to look for them, and it was such a handsome boy, a group of female cultivators were making faces at each other and almost flew to the sky.

Sun Qinghan sat in the middle of the crowd, his brows cold as he asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Jian glanced around and hesitated, "Is this place suitable?"

Sun Qinghan waved her hand and said, "They are all my best sisters, there is no need to be shy."

"Then I'll be frank." Lin Jian bowed, "Senior Sister Sun, I'm here to learn about talismans."

"Talisman?" Sun Qinghan raised his eyebrows, "Your master doesn't know how to use it?"

"Specifically, it's the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Curse talisman that Senior Sister cast that day. I think it's very useful that Senior Sister arranged the formation in the talisman in advance, so that she can use it at any time during the battle. It's also applicable to our White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation... I asked Master about it before coming here, and he's not proficient in it."

Hearing this, Sun Qinghan hadn't spoken yet, but the little sister beside him smiled and said first, "This junior brother knows what he's talking about. He came here just to see Senior Sister Sun's special skills."

"But Senior Sister Sun won't teach this move easily. How about coming to my cave tonight and I'll teach you how to please Senior Sister Sun?"

"Come to my cave, I will teach you how to do it step by step."

Hearing the shameless nonsense of these sisters, Sun Qinghan's pretty face flushed, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Then she stood up and looked at Lin Jian and said, "Since Junior Brother Lin wants to learn, Senior Sister will not hide anything from him."

Before she finished speaking, there was a loud noise behind her, "Ah! Is that Junior Brother Lin?"

"Is Qinghan the Junior Brother Lin you mentioned who is participating in the Four Sects Competition with you?!"

"Junior Brother Lin is so amazing. Can I learn sword skills from you?"

"Junior Brother Lin, can I see your sword?"

Lin Jian took two steps back in fear, feeling that the swords these senior sisters were talking about were not serious things.

"Go away!" Sun Qinghan angrily pushed away the crazy people around him and walked closer to Lin Jian. "The way I engraved the magic circle into the talisman is considered difficult even in the art of talismans. Have you ever come into contact with this before?"

Lin Jian shook his head honestly, "No."

"You've never been exposed to the art of talismans before..." Sun Qinghan frowned in distress. "Then it's unlikely you'll be able to master it in such a short time. I suggest you first study the art of talismans systematically. After all, it's considered difficult even among weapon refiners. Furthermore, my technique also requires you to understand some basic knowledge of magic arrays. You'll also need to have some understanding of magic arrays."

"My junior fellow disciple!" A female cultivator volunteered, raising her hand. "I specialize in talismans. I guarantee you'll be able to learn within six months."

"My, my, my Junior Brother! As long as you live in my cave, I promise to teach you everything I know day and night. I guarantee you'll be able to learn within three months!"

"Junior brother, I'm so sweet for choosing me. I'm a professional magic array maintainer. I'm the one who maintains the sect's magic arrays!"

"Junior brother, don't listen to them! They are just after your body. I am different. I really want to teach you the skills."

"How about this: let's not fight over it and just teach together. After a year or two, you'll know everything."

Lin Jian shuddered.

The thought of five thousand ducks chirping in your ears is simply terrifying.

"Sister, I have limited time and need to go out in two days. How about you tell me some of the details? That way, I can better grasp the key points when I go back to study talismans and magic arrays."

"Hmm..." Sun Qinghan thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true."

As he said this, he turned around and pushed away the female monks who were watching the fun, revealing the round table in the center.

"Come over and take a good look."

Sun Qinghan took out the supplies needed to draw talismans from his storage ring.

"The three most basic items for drawing talismans are Xuanling Talisman Paper, Lingsha Ink, and a Demon Wolf Hair Brush. These are used by advanced talisman masters, and they can draw more complex and powerful runes, but they are also more difficult to control. If you're just starting out, you can start with the simple basics." "Also, this Scarlet Flame Golden Toad's shed skin and Fire Crystal Powder are special consumables I need for drawing the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Curse. As you mentioned, if you want to set up your Gold-type White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation, these materials must be replaced with consumables with corresponding properties. I'm not a Gold-type cultivator, so you may have to figure out the details yourself."

"Finally, this gilded paperweight and Yin-Yang Breathing Incense are both auxiliary items to help you enter the state faster and prevent backlash. As for this Qiankun Nurturing Talisman Box, it is where you store the talismans you have crafted. Talismans are difficult to craft and have a limited shelf life. This Qiankun Nurturing Talisman Box only prolongs their shelf life, not permanently."

"The first lesson to learn about talismans is to realize their limitations. They are a guide to assessing the situation over the next few days, not a permanent solution."

Lin Jian nodded seriously, "I understand, Senior Sister."

"Okay then." Sun Qinghan nodded and continued, "There are some things I can't be distracted from while making the talisman, so I must explain them to you first."

"If you're just starting to learn talismans, you'll definitely start with the simplest techniques. Those techniques only require cutting a portion of talisman paper to create."

"But the array patterns involved in my Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Curse are extremely complex. Carving the array patterns on the talisman paper is only the first step in completing the talisman."

"After carving, the talisman paper must be folded immediately to connect the key nodes of the array pattern to form a tight link. This requires the maker to have absolute control over the entire array pattern. Even many third-grade talisman masters who have specialized in talismans find it difficult to guarantee their success rate."

"Normally, my success rate in refining isn't 100%. Now that Junior Brother wants to see it, I'll do my best."

As he spoke, Sun Qinghan lit the Yin-Yang Breathing Incense with a serious expression.

The black and white smoke rings hung in the air, floating lightly around Sun Qinghan, allowing her to concentrate more clearly and enter a clear state of mind where she could control her pen with her spirit.

The talisman paper was spread out flat, and the paperweight swept across it. The Heart Purification Mantra engraved in gilded characters on the surface released a faint halo, allowing the chaos naturally gathered in the talisman paper underneath to become as gentle and controllable as possible towards the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Then she took the brush in her bare hands, dipped it in vermilion spiritual sand ink, and moved the brush with her true energy, leaving delicate and varied red lines.

As the tip of the pen slowly outlined, more and more spiritual energy from heaven and earth gradually gathered on the talisman paper.

This obviously made Sun Qinghan feel more pressure when moving her brush. She needed to invest more spiritual awareness and true energy to resist this external pressure to ensure that every stroke she made was accurate enough.

Sun Qinghan was concentrating, and beads of sweat oozed from his temples.

As the array patterns became more complex, a faint heat rose around the talisman paper.

The runes that are gradually taking shape are eager to show their abilities, even if they are incomplete.

This premature outburst may lead to errors and even backfire on the refiner.

At certain moments, Lin Jian even felt that the restless spiritual energy was about to get out of control, but with the halo emitted by the gilded paperweight and Sun Qinghan's own efforts to control it, this dangerous tendency was suppressed.

This is the danger that the talisman master must be careful of when refining.

Until a certain moment, Sun Qinghan suddenly stopped writing.

While using his true Qi to suppress the agitation of the talisman paper array pattern, he folded the flat piece of talisman paper into a small cone at a dazzling speed.

After instantly injecting a few spiritual needles to freeze the runes that could explode at any time, Sun Qinghan let out a long breath.

"I've only completed one of the steps. To set up the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Curse, you need eight talismans. I haven't learned about your Gold Spiritual Root's White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation, but I imagine it won't be that simple."

Sun Qinghan wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked towards the forest with a grateful heart.

At least it worked. If it had been blown to a crisp in front of Junior Brother Lin, it would have been so embarrassing.

Until this moment, the sisters who had been silent and dared not even breathe since Sun Qinghan started writing, as if they were ready to run away at any time, finally relaxed.

"This is so rare, I can't even breathe."

"It'll explode if you're not careful, right? I feel like it almost exploded a few times."

"How much spiritual energy must be concentrated in such a complex array? What if it explodes?"

"As expected of Qinghan, I wouldn't dare try this kind of talisman, it's too scary."

Lin Jian thought it was interesting and asked, "Can I try it?"
