My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

After hearing this, Chu Ci shook his head repeatedly and said hurriedly: "Fellow Daoist Yuan Zhong, you absolutely cannot do this. This is just a joke between Miss Li and me. This soul contract thing must not be done." His tone was firm, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to let Li Modie sacrifice herself because of a joke.

Li Yuanzhong nodded secretly when he heard Chu Ci's words. Then he said:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, this matter has been decided and there is no need to say more. In addition to the soul contract, my Li family's map can also be copied to you. As for the number of Zhuxian Talismans, it will be five hundred as you said before."

After saying that, he took out a jade box and gently placed it on the table. The jade box was crystal clear and emitted a faint light. It was exactly the one he had seen in the ancestral hall before.

Chu Ci didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward and actually agreed to everything he said. He looked at the jade box on the table and didn't move it, but quietly waited for Li Yuanzhong's next words. Since the Li family is willing to pay such a high price, there must be other requirements.

As expected, Li Yuanzhong continued, "In addition to these, I have another request. After signing the soul contract, please teach me the method of making talismans. If you do so, our entire clan will be grateful to you."

Chu Ci understood Li Yuanzhong's intention. It turned out that he wanted Li Modie to learn how to make the Zhuxian Talisman. The reason why he proposed to sign a soul contract was naturally so that he could teach her with confidence.

Just when Chu Ci was hesitating, Li Yuanzhong winked at Li Modie. Li Modie understood, she took a deep breath and said, "Senior Chu, I apologize for my previous offense. From now on, I will follow you wholeheartedly and have no second thoughts." After that, she sat on the ground and began to practice.

Chu Ci was about to reach out to stop her, but he found that Li Modie had already started the soul contract ceremony. He was shocked. If he was interrupted at this time, Li Modie might be in danger of her life. Helplessly, he could only watch Li Modie complete the ceremony.

After a moment, a tiny ball of light condensed on top of Li Modie's head. It was a fragment of her soul. She gently lifted it up with both hands and respectfully handed it to Chu Ci.

After completing the ceremony, Li Modie's face turned extremely pale, as if she had lost all vitality and energy, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This price was too high for Li Modie. He reluctantly put away his Yuan Shen, then took out a Yuan Yang Pill from his arms and handed it to Li Modie: "Miss, please take this pill first and rest well."

When Li Modie saw the pill, a strange expression appeared on her originally pale face. She took the pill with both hands, looked at Chu Ci deeply, and then retreated silently.

After Li Modie left, Chu Ci turned to Li Yuanzhong and said, "Daoyou Yuanzhong, this is putting your daughter in a difficult position."

Hearing this, Li Yuanzhong shook his head slightly with a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist Chu, don't worry. I have already asked Mo Die. She admires you very much. She did all this voluntarily."

Then, Li Yuanzhong changed the subject and gently pushed the jade box in front of Chu Ci: "Daoyou, the map is in the box. Do you want to copy it now, or wait until you refine the Zhuxian Talisman?"

Although Li Yuanzhong's words were euphemistic, Chu Ci could not fail to hear the meaning behind them. Li Modie had already signed a soul contract with him, so if he asked to copy the map first, it would be a bit unreasonable. He thought for a moment and said, "Of course, wait until I finish refining the Zhuxian Talisman."

After hearing this, Li Yuanzhong nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Well, since you said so, then I will do as you say." His tone seemed calm, but it carried a hint of relief.

After saying this, he gently put away the jade box.

He continued, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you can stay in our village with peace of mind. I will take care of all your food and daily needs."

Chu Ci nodded after hearing this, then stood up and walked back to his residence.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Chu Ci noticed that there was someone in the house. He looked up and saw Li Modie sitting in the house, quietly waiting for him. Her pretty face was slightly flushed, and it was obvious that she had taken the Yangyuan Pill and was recovering her vitality.

Seeing Chu Ci coming in, Li Modie stood up gracefully, walked in front of him, bowed her head and said, "Senior Chu, from today on, please feel free to ask for anything you want."

Chu Ci looked at her, feeling a little emotional. He shook his head and said, "Miss, you don't have to be so polite, and don't take what happened just now to heart. When you recover, I will return your soul to you." Although his tone was light, Li Modie was shocked.

Li Modie raised her head and looked at Chu Ci, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. From the initial shock at Chu Ci's magic of refining the Zhuxian Talisman, to the helplessness of being forced by her father to sign a soul contract with Chu Ci, to the surprise and gratitude when she heard Chu Ci say that he could return her soul, her mood was like a roller coaster, ups and downs.

She never expected that her father would be so determined to force her to give her life to a complete stranger. Although she knew that this person could bring immeasurable benefits to the Li family, as a victim, she was naturally filled with reluctance and resistance.

She also knew that she was at fault to some extent, but her father's decision still chilled her. What made it even harder for her to accept was that her father repeatedly warned her that no matter what Chu Ci asked for, she had to meet it unconditionally. The meaning was very clear, and it made her feel like a puppet without dignity and freedom.

On the other hand, Chu Ci was so generous and forgiving. He even wanted to return her soul to her. Just these few words were enough to make Li Modie feel a little warm. She began to re-examine this man, and an inexplicable feeling rose in her heart.

She shook her head, trying to put her messy thoughts behind her. She knew that no matter how she struggled in her heart, the interests of the family always came first. So, she took a deep breath, followed Chu Ci's footsteps closely, and walked into the house together.

From that day on, Chu Ci devoted himself to the refining of the Zhuxian Talisman. The Zhuxian Talisman had extremely high requirements for spiritual awareness and spiritual power, and the slightest mistake could lead to failure in refining. Therefore, Chu Ci could only refine a maximum of 20 pieces a day.

By the end of a month, Chu Ci had completed the arduous task of 500 Zhuxian talismans.

However, he did not make this matter public, because if such a speed were revealed, it would seem too shocking.
