It was almost evening when Lin Fan opened his eyes. He looked around and found that he was indeed in his dormitory when he began to review today's battle with Pang.

"Lin, you just don't have enough time to train and lack combat experience. You will win when the sect competition comes."

"I understand, Master, but I want to go out and gain some experience as a preparation for the sect competition."

"Okay, but before that you have one more thing to do."

"What's the matter?" Lin Fan looked at Hong Huang in confusion.

"Have you forgotten? You haven't learned your talisman yet."

Lin Fan looked as if he had suddenly realized something. Hong Huang continued:

"Let's start tonight. Take the materials and find an empty space."

While Lin Fan was busy looking for materials, Hong Huang stared at him thoughtfully.

"Although we were disturbed by those four people during the day, the night should be enough to verify my guess."

"Master, I'm ready to go." Lin Fan's words interrupted Hong Huang's thoughts.

After the master and disciple found a quiet open space, Hong Huang and Lin Fan began their journey of collecting talismans, each with their own purpose.

"Xiao Linzi, just write and draw on the talismans and finish five first."

"What? Just some random writing and drawing. Master, are you kidding me? There are no ancient secret techniques this time?"

"Don't be impatient. Just do what I say. When you reach my age, you will understand."

Lin Fan, who had been confused for countless times, still completed the task assigned to him by Hong Huang in a daze.

Hong Huang looked at Lin Fan's masterpieces: one had a sword in it, one had the word "strong" written on it, one had a fire cloud cat in it, one had a random pattern that looked like an ordinary talisman, and one had Lin Fan written on it.

"You're so casual, try to activate your spiritual power and see if these talismans are useful."

Although Lin Fan, who was confused for the n+1 time, didn't understand what Hong Huang wanted to do, he still did it.

The result was just as Lin Fan expected, every piece of paper was waste paper.

"Master, by the time I was your age, the sect competition would have ended long ago. You should tell me the reason."

"It seems that Lin Fan is not a genius, or maybe he just has average talent in the field of talismans?"

Hong Huang whispered, "Then try making it up again. Whether it succeeds or not, I have a backup plan."

Hong Huang came to Lin Fan and pointed at the remaining materials. "Now write the word 'explosion'. Remember to attach spiritual energy to the word as you write. I believe you can do it with your ability."

This time, Lin Fan did not have much doubts about Hong Huang's request, because he felt that it made some sense.

As far as he knew, the current process of making talismans by cultivators was to draw some special patterns on yellow paper. Different talismans had different effects, and naturally the patterns were also different. He had never heard of the practice of writing on paper and attaching spiritual energy, so he became interested.

Lin Fan pulled out a piece of yellow paper from the pile with his left hand. It was the same as the other yellow papers. He picked up the pen with his right hand and drew two random strokes in the air, just like a great calligrapher in the world.

Then he turned the hand holding the yellow paper forward and slapped it on the slate. At the same time, he raised the pen in his right hand to the right side of his eyes, and raised the corner of his mouth to the left.

If an uninformed passerby saw this scene, he would surely think that some great master who had achieved enlightenment through calligraphy was creating a masterpiece.

"Okay, okay, stop posing. Aren't you more anxious than me?" Hong Huang couldn't stand Lin Fan's "pre-war preparations".

After a great display of fanfare, Lin Fan's "masterpiece" finally came into the world, but the only sounds it received were the ordinary chirping of insects.

"Okay, now use your spiritual power to try out the effect of this talisman."

Lin Fan picked up the talisman from the stone slab with his left hand, pinched the talisman between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and uttered a "Hah" sound.

Then he stretched out his left hand, held the talisman in his right hand and swung it backwards. Finally, while throwing the talisman forward, he shouted, "Explode!"

As the talisman flew towards the open space, Hong Huang and Lin Fan stared at it closely. Then, a loud "boom" and a bright light accompanied by the explosion made Hong Huang and Lin Fan breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

Lin Fan was about to jump up to celebrate, but before he could make a sound, he felt a wave of fatigue washing over him. This fatigue made him sit down on the ground.

"Master, I feel so tired, and I have a feeling it has something to do with the explosive talisman I just threw out."

"Really? Then you can rest here for a while. I'll consider whether to continue later."

In this way, Lin Fan studied intermittently until late at night. That night, Lin Fan learned a total of four talismans created by Hong Huang: explosion, defense, healing, and instant.

Looking at Lin Fan sleeping soundly on the bed for the n+1 time, Hong Huang also came to the window for the n+1 time, looking at the incomplete moon in the sky.

"It seems that the illogical things happening to Lin Fan right now are most likely related to me. As for why it happened so coincidentally, I can only find the answer after I become stronger."

Speaking of becoming stronger, Hong Huang raised his hand. From Hong Huang's perspective, the moon was just being pinched by Hong Huang's index finger and thumb. This action undoubtedly illustrates the grandeur of Hong Huang's ambition.

"Since Xiao Linzi has no problem in the sect competition, it's time for me to improve my own strength."

"But why am I still calling you Xiao Linzi? It seems I'm used to it, hahaha."

The next day, Lin Fan woke up from the bed, turned over, touched the Fire Cloud Cat who was still sleeping beside the pillow, then sat up from the bed and slowly walked to the desk.

"Until last night, Master had already finished teaching me about talismans. From now on, there's nothing more for me to learn. It seems the only option left is to go out and gain experience."

"But since this is my first time going out, I still have to plan it carefully and be fully prepared."

"Have you decided on a place for your training?" Hong Huang suddenly appeared and interrupted Lin Fan's mumbling.

"Master, I've made up my mind. There's a forest of spirit beasts not far from our sect. I think we can go there to train and gain experience, and at the same time, I can also train the Fire Cloud Cat."

"Since you've made your decision, I still won't let you go right away. You still need to go to the library to read books, especially books on spiritual beast species and survival in the wild."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Fortunately, Master reminded me. I'll go to the library after I rest."

As soon as he stepped out of the dormitory, Lin Fan looked around deliberately. He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see the familiar foursome. Although he was not afraid of them, if they came to cause trouble again, it would be a waste of time for Lin Fan.

Afterwards, Lin Fan completed his daily tasks and also completed a sect task on the way.

Lin Fan also made another discovery: since the battle yesterday, the attitude of other people in the sect towards him has changed. Although the people in the sect have been very nice to him before, now there seems to be an additional feeling of admiration for him.

But Lin Fan didn't think much about it. After finishing the task he needed to do, he went straight to the library.
