Eating big melon is so refreshing

"Second Grandpa?" Little Chunya saw that the coachman was Zhao Xi and stretched out her chubby little paws to greet him. If the window wasn't too small, she would have wanted to stick her head out.

"Don't be naughty." Zhao Xi asked her to take her hand back, and told Wan Zi to look after the family, and then the convoy set off.

Twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived at the East City Gate. Among those queuing to get on the bus were Luo Xiaopang, Luo Xiaomei and Grandpa Luo, Lin Shaoxuan and a dozen other unfamiliar men and women.

"fatty!"

"Little Haruko!"

The last person to take up the empty seat next to Xiao Chunya was Lin Shaoxuan. Ever since he passed the imperial examination, his family's conditions had improved, and the changes were clearly visible in his complexion and the way he dressed.

The friendship between Lin Shaoxuan and Xiao Qiulin became much closer after returning from Guoxiang County. Lin Shaoxuan could draw talismans, but he had no fame before, so what he drew was like a piece of waste paper.

Xiao Chunya always thought that the art of talismans was profound and very brain-intensive, and the chances of success were slim, so she subconsciously resisted.

As a celestial master, Xiao Qiulin finds drawing talismans as easy as eating rice. He does not teach others because things he thinks are simple may seem difficult in the eyes of others.

Just like Xiao Chunya thought that making gunpowder was simple, with the same recipe, the firecrackers made by others just wouldn’t explode as high as hers!

Lin Shaoxuan had been a teacher in his previous life and was well-versed in teaching children. Although Xiao Chunya was not a real child, she was no different from a child when it came to drawing talismans.

Xiao Qiulin funded Lin Shaoxuan's trip to Qingzhou Prefecture with only one condition: that Fatty Sister would be interested in drawing talismans. He knew Fatty Sister too well. As long as she was interested in something, she would study it no matter how difficult it was.

Lin Shaoxuan said in a relaxed tone, "Drawing talismans requires a calm mind and concentration, eliminating distracting thoughts. If the mind is not calm, the talisman will not work. If you can do something as difficult as meditation, then calming the mind and concentration will be a piece of cake."

Xiao Qiulin handed her a specially made brush with a soft and elastic tip and ancient runes engraved on the pen shaft.

"Is this a talisman brush?" Xiao Chunya could recognize it at a glance. This brush was different from ordinary pens and seemed to contain mysterious power.

Xiao Qiulin said, "This brush is suitable for me at the beginning, so I use it to paint."

Xiao Chunya carefully took the brush, her hands trembling slightly, her heart was both nervous and excited, and then... "You have plucked this brush bald!"

"I only plucked a part of the hair. It's not bald yet, so I can continue painting." Xiao Qiulin said, "It's five taels of silver per stick. Don't waste it."

All the nervousness and excitement disappeared instantly, and Xiao Chunya almost rolled her eyes. When did her brother become so stingy?

Lin Shaoxuan took out a yellowed piece of rice paper with a simple talisman pattern printed on it. "This is the most basic "Amulet of Peace". You should copy this pattern first, paying attention to the direction and strength of each stroke."

Xiao Chunya looked at the pattern for a while, and her brushstrokes gradually became stable and the lines smoothed out, as if she had completed it in one go. There was none of the crookedness that a beginner would have experienced when copying for the first time. This is a matter of mentality.

After copying it twice, Xiao Chunya was able to draw the "Peace Talisman" in one go and inject the spiritual power captured in the air into the talisman. A white light flashed, and the plain white paper became full of mysterious power. The talisman was completed!

"It seems... quite easy." Xiao Chunya looked at the talisman she drew and said, "Maybe this is the simplest one, so it's so easy."

Lin Shaoxuan almost vomited blood. Easy? It took him three months to successfully draw one. Although he didn't have a famous teacher to teach him, he also asked around. Others took at least nine days to draw it.

Xiao Chunya took nine minutes in total. Are geniuses meant to suppress ordinary people?

Lin Shaoxuan turned his head to the side. He didn’t want to talk anymore. He felt like he had suffered a lot of hurt!

"What's wrong with him?" Xiao Chunya felt that she didn't say anything, but the other party looked hurt?

Xiao Qiulin coughed and said, "It took him nine days to learn how to draw talismans."

"Oh, brother, how long have you been studying?"

"three minutes."

"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you anymore." Xiao Chunya suddenly felt like a victim. She felt that her brother was showing off!

Xiao Qiulin looked aggrieved. "I make a living from this. If I don't have talent in this area, how can I make a living?"

Xiao Chunya felt distressed for two seconds, then she held her brother's hand and said, "I'm not angry with you anymore. It's not easy to make a living."

Lin Shaoxuan was even more upset. The Heavenly Master still needs to make a living? Are you kidding me?

"There are different levels of talisman masters, right?" Xiao Chunya asked, "What level am I at?"

Xiao Qiulin said, "Talisman masters are divided into nine levels, just like alchemy masters. A first-level talisman master can draw three "peace talismans" and three "rain-seeking talismans" in two hours. Sister, you can't do it in your current condition."

Xiao Chunya nodded and asked again, "What is the most powerful talisman?"

Xiao Qiulin's voice was a little dull as he said, "The most powerful thing in the legend is the Void Talisman, which can tear the void apart with bare hands and travel freely in the universe."

"Is this a god?" Xiao Chunya said without hesitation, "There must be a limit to bragging, right?"

"Maybe." Xiao Qiulin said, "Life is too long and meaningless. It is impossible to integrate into the mundane world. You will only feel lonely."

"Don't be afraid, brother. If I'm here, there will be chaos and fur all over the floor." Xiao Chunya laughed.

I belatedly asked, "Where's Chen Zichuan?"

Since passing the examination and becoming a scholar, Chen Zichuan has not come to Mingyue Villa again. It is said that the Chen family has found another scholar to give lectures to Chen Zichuan.

Xiao Qiulin said in a mocking tone, "The Chen and Feng families moved to Liuyang City, their household registrations were changed, and the college entrance examination was held in Jiangzhou Prefecture."

Xiao Chunya was surprised and blurted out, "Jiangzhou Prefecture is full of literary talent. Even the top ten in Qingzhou Prefecture may not be on the list in Jiangzhou Prefecture. Chen Zichuan is a student at the bottom of the list. How could he have the courage to take the exam for a scholar in Jiangzhou Prefecture?"

It can only be said that Chen Zichuan is too good at pretending. Every time Luo Xiaopang makes medicine, Chen Zichuan hides in the dark, spying on every step, with greed and calculation flashing in his eyes.

Chen Zichuan was lucky as no one discovered him until he "learned" how to refine the "Great Strength Pill". The Chen family also got in touch with the wealthy forces in Liuyang City, so they moved quickly.

"Is Grandpa Luo very angry?"

"He won't be angry about someone stealing the recipe for the 'Power Pills'. To be honest, this kind of recipe is not even worthy of being put on the table." Xiao Qiulin said, "Sister, you also know that taking too much of the 'Power Pills' is harmful to the body. Even Jiang Xinrou has a recipe for it. How can this be considered a good thing?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about Jiang Xinrou's existence. She's not even as good as Jiang Xiaocao. I saw her in the town a few days ago."

In this life, Jiang Xiaocao has suffered several setbacks and finally realized her position. She now actively wants to marry into the small town of Guangning, but unfortunately no one is interested in her!
