I am a living immortal.

After eating and drinking her fill, Su Mu leaned back on the wooden lounge chair. The summer sun penetrated the window but left the scorching heat outside.

The house became cool and comfortable under Su Mu's arrangement.

Several runes floated in front of him.

In addition to the original yellow-based cinnabar, Su Mu tried various papers, from straw paper to cotton paper to jute paper. Different papers correspond to very different effects. There is a slight difference in the effects of talismans written with cinnabar and ink, but not much.

In general, there will be certain differences between different carriers.

But what you see in the end is the spirit on the paper, which is the core of the whole talisman.

The clearer this spirit expresses itself, the more specific its function.

Like circuit boards and programming.

Beginners just copy others, and those recorded talismans are the products of simplified experiments by masters, with the most complete procedures written in the simplest strokes.

Talismans are not static. Everyone has different understandings of them, so the images of talismans written are also different.

After initially understanding the general structure of runes.

Su Mu began his attempt.

The moment he wrote the first stroke, Su Mu had a special feeling. He seemed to be in the vast universe, like a mayfly in the universe, a drop in the ocean.

Is this the heaven and earth?

The first talisman Su Mu drew was [Big and Small Ruyi], and the meaning of this talisman was to manifest in the vast universe.

He swelled up to the size of a giant, and in front of him was a talisman paper the size of a grain of rice.

"This... is this like carving a boat into your core and a building on your rice?"

He still underestimated the art of talismans. This painting was not just a talisman, but a reflection of the heaven and earth. Every stroke was filled with truth.

Now that I'm painting, there's no reason to stop.

Between heaven and earth, the sky is suddenly clear and scorching hot, and suddenly thunder roars from the ground. The thunder sounds suddenly, sometimes carrying the mountains on its back, and sometimes the air is as deep as the sea, as if drowning in the spiritual energy.

Su Mu's paintings became smoother and more unrestrained, and these principles and theories continued to intertwine and spread outward, as if to drag those sentient creatures into this perception.

The old goat was running wildly under the scorching sun with a confused look on his face, trying to shake off the sun and become the Kuafu of the new era.

The giant snake trapped in the well was suddenly awakened by a spring thunder.

The fear in his eyes grew even greater as he looked in the direction of Su Mu. The world was changing so drastically, what on earth had he done to cause such a strange scene?

The majestic power of heaven suddenly rings in the ears, and even the thousand-year-old monsters will be instinctively afraid.

In the Yuannan City God Temple, incense is burning faintly.

A golden figure suddenly walked out from the statue. If the giant snake was afraid, then the city god was surprised. He was completely unaware of such a strange scene in the world and the fact that such an immortal master was passing by here.

The City God turned his gaze to his subordinates.

Day patrol, night patrol: "I don't know! He just appeared like this."

Besides, were they also the ones who investigated such a great immortal? Of course, these words were not said.

…………

Su Mu spent three days and three nights drawing this talisman.

The moon rises and sets, and the stars move.

It was not until the morning of the fourth day that he woke up from this exhilarating experience, and the strange phenomena in heaven and earth slowly dissipated.

He slowly opened his eyes, and runes shining with golden light were suspended around him. The talisman papers carrying the talismans also underwent changes under the infusion of heaven and earth, becoming tough and impervious to water and fire, with a golden luster on the surface. No matter what material it was originally, it would eventually become the same.

It is a qualitative change compared to the original [Ding] character talisman.

No wonder the talisman paper used to write talismans has to be jute paper or yellow paper, he said, the effects are obviously almost the same.

It should be an imitation of the original, even the paper is somewhat similar.

Looking at the runes in front of him, after several days of tinkering, he made some functional talismans such as [Moving Mountains], [Big and Small Ruyi], [Gathering Qi], and [Concealment].

Afterwards, I also drew some talismans for solar terms such as [Great Heat], [Awakening of Insects], and [Frost Descent].

Among them, [Great Heat] is the easiest to draw, and [Frost Descent] is the most difficult. I guess it may be due to the influence of the environment.

In addition, the spiritual energy required after joining the perception of heaven and earth is greatly reduced, otherwise these talismans alone will drain me dry.

The functions and powers are different, but they are varied.

Even if the spiritual energy is greatly reduced, some powerful talismans such as [The Stars Move] are not something I can draw now.

He wanted to paint, but after writing two strokes he realized he couldn't finish it, so he gave up.

Looking at the many talismans floating in front of him.

Su Mu hooked his finger, and talismans with different functions were stacked on the table. He nodded with satisfaction.

The genius is actually me.

Of course, this is actually similar to the principle of converting spiritual energy into other substances in his daily life, so he did not make basic talismans such as [Wind] and [Fire]. There was no need to do so, he could just make them with his bare hands.

The functionality is really interesting.

Each talisman was like a magical power. While he was writing these talismans, he also gained some insights into these magical powers.

He can now use it without relying on talismans, but there is also a disadvantage, which is that the consumption is too high.

In general, talismans are not as useless as one might imagine, and may even be a way to heaven.

I succeeded on my first attempt at painting.

Su Mu touched his chin and thought to himself that he was truly a genius. Yes, I am a genius.

I feel very happy.

He drew out a [Gathering Qi] and a [Concealment] card and threw them into his own courtyard. Golden light sank into the ground, and rising spiritual energy gathered from all directions. The seeds sown a few days ago were now growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The City God, who had been observing Su Mu, felt that the courtyard in front of him was covered by layers of fog, and the aura disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The City God sighed and looked away.

Su Mu also knew that her drawing of talismans must have attracted some attention. She had not thought about it before. Now that people knew about it, she still needed to protect her privacy.

By the way, test these talismans.

To be honest, it is worthy of being the initial version of the talisman that incorporates the insights of heaven and earth. Its function is beyond words. The concentration of spiritual energy in the courtyard is constantly increasing.

This also greatly improves the polishing and efficiency of one's own life.

It's double happiness.

After doing all this, Su Mu felt sleepy. Drawing talismans non-stop for the past few days had exhausted his spirit. He planned to take a nap to replenish his energy.

He hasn't felt sleepy for a long time.

After tidying up the bedding, he fell asleep peacefully. When the spiritual energy reached a certain level, it remained in a full state, and the entire courtyard underwent different changes.

Before I knew it, the stars in the sky were floating.

Have a good night's sleep.
