Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 9 Seclusion and Talisman Drawing
Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's words, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously.
After thanking Jiang Yuchuan profusely, Sun Ying took the prescription and left with her child.
Grandma Sun, who was standing to the side, did not follow Sun Ying. Instead, she looked at Jiang Yuchuan with a beaming smile and said:
"It's all thanks to Mr. Jiang! I never imagined that Mr. Jiang, at such a young age, would have such superb medical skills! If it weren't for Mr. Jiang's help today, that child Tieshan might be gone! I watched that child grow up, and if he had just died like that, I wouldn't have felt good about it..."
Before coming to find Jiang Yuchuan, the elderly people in the town who knew some folk remedies had already examined Tieshan, and they all said there was no hope. If she hadn't suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuchuan had mentioned going to Daqingshan to collect herbs, she wouldn't have dragged Sun Ying along.
Looking back now, Grandma Sun couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and pride!
I'm grateful that my decision saved a life; I'm proud of my decisiveness and courage, and that my judgment of people remains as accurate as ever!
Grandma Sun's gaze toward Jiang Yuchuan grew increasingly loving, yet at the same time, a pang of regret arose in her heart.
What a fine young man! I wish I had given birth to him myself!
"You flatter me, Auntie." Jiang Yuchuan had no idea what Auntie Sun was thinking at the moment, and smiled, "Because I often go into the mountains to collect herbs, I have quite a bit of knowledge about the venom of these snakes, insects, and rodents. Saving that child was purely by chance."
"Mr. Jiang, you are too modest."
Grandma Sun didn't believe Jiang Yuchuan's words at all.
There's no such thing as a coincidence in the world.
Afterwards, Aunt Sun sighed again and then recounted the story of Sun Ying's family.
Jiang Yuchuan then learned that Sun Ying was a distant relative of Aunt Sun, and that she initially lived in a village dozens of miles away from Qingyang Town.
Six years ago, the village was ravaged by bandits. When Sun Ying and her husband were fleeing, they were discovered by the bandits. At that time, Sun Ying was already pregnant. In order to protect Sun Ying, her husband was killed by the bandits.
Having nowhere else to turn, the heavily pregnant Sun Ying had no choice but to seek refuge with Granny Sun.
With the help of Aunt Sun, Sun Ying managed to settle down in Qingyang Town. After giving birth, she single-handedly raised her child, changing diapers and diapers all by herself...
Grandma Sun sat there for more than half an hour. As it grew dark, she reluctantly stopped talking and got up to leave.
Just as she stepped out of the house, she suddenly noticed a bright green shadow in her peripheral vision and immediately turned to look at it.
"This peach tree—is it the same one that used to grow in the yard?!"
It's no wonder that Aunt Sun was so shocked; the peach tree, now flourishing with leaves, was a stark contrast to its previous half-dead state!
Jiang Yuchuan glanced at the peach tree, nodded, and said without batting an eye, "I was just trying anything, so I added some medicine when I watered it. I didn't expect it to actually work, and it slowly came back to life."
Grandma Sun walked over, circled the peach tree, and marveled at it.
She had tried the method of adding medicine to the irrigation solution before, but it always ended in failure.
You have to admit, Mr. Jiang is really capable!
In such a short time, not only have the peach trees been brought back to life, but they have also been taken care of so well!
While sitting by the peach tree, Aunt Sun asked Jiang Yuchuan some questions about how to cultivate flowers and plants. She then praised Jiang Yuchuan extensively before leaving satisfied.
Grandma Sun was a talkative person who loved to join in the fun, and she was also a native of Qingyang Town. Therefore, there were almost no villagers in the town that she didn't know or recognize.
Through Aunt Sun's intentional or unintentional efforts to spread the word, Jiang Yuchuan gradually became famous in Qingyang Town.
As the saying goes, one person tells ten, and ten tell a hundred.
Just a few days later, almost everyone in Qingyang Town knew that the house that Granny Sun's family had built years ago had been sold to Mr. Jiang, a handsome man who liked to wear green robes, was highly skilled in medicine, and had a wealth of knowledge.
Jiang Yuchuan, the person involved, was completely unaware of this.
Since the day Aunt Sun left, he had been immersed in seclusion and had hardly ever left the house.
Besides alchemy, Jiang Yuchuan found another way to consume spiritual energy, and also a way to make the most of the consumed spiritual energy—drawing talismans.
Although he wasn't particularly skilled at talismans, he could still draw some low-level talismans like the Swift Travel Talisman and the Fireball Talisman without much trouble.
The slightly more complicated part is preparing the tools for drawing talismans.
Because he needed to infuse spiritual energy, ordinary paper, pen, and ink were obviously not feasible, so he had to make his own.
Fortunately, he only needed to draw some low-level talismans, and the tools he made only needed to withstand a small amount of spiritual energy input, so he didn't need to use those materials related to demonic beasts.
Jiang Yuchuan plans to make the calligraphy brush using his own hair and branches from the large tree inside the spirit pearl; the ink will be made by simply mixing ink with the spirit spring; as for the final talisman paper, Jiang Yuchuan thought for a moment and decided to use the spirit spring again, soaking the cut talisman paper in it and letting it dry before using it.
This was a completely new attempt, and Jiang Yuchuan had no idea whether it would succeed in the end.
After the paper, brushes, and ink were all processed and made, Jiang Yuchuan took them directly to his study.
Since the time one can stay inside the spirit orb is limited, after weighing the options, Jiang Yuchuan decided to draw the talisman directly outside.
He had plenty of materials for making talisman-drawing tools, compared to the medicinal herbs needed for alchemy, so he wasn't afraid of failure and waste.
And so, in the dead of night, Jiang Yuchuan lit a candle, brewed himself a pot of hot tea, and began drawing his talismans.
He laid out the paper, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write. Jiang Yuchuan slowly channeled his spiritual energy into the brush while controlling his wrist to make the ink-laden tip of the brush glide and move across the talisman paper.
Seeing that the design of the talisman was more than half completed, Jiang Yuchuan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Could it be that I also possess extraordinary talent in the art of talismans?
The moment Jiang Yuchuan had this idea, the talisman paper under his pen suddenly flashed with a faint light, and then turned into ashes under his astonished gaze.
"..."
--well!
I was just overthinking it.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuchuan laid out the talisman paper again and began drawing the second talisman.
The same talisman, the same pattern, when drawn in the same place again, the talisman paper flashed again and turned to ashes.
"..."
This time, Jiang Yuchuan was not distracted at all, and he drew the talisman pattern without making any mistakes.
If failure still occurs under such circumstances, the problem is most likely with the tool he is using!
To verify his ideas, Jiang Yuchuan immediately began new attempts and gradually adjusted and improved the tools he used.
Three days later.
After dozens of failures and attempts, Jiang Yuchuan finally discovered where the problem lay!
The reason he always fails when he gets to the end of a painting is entirely due to the ink!
After adjusting the ratio of ink to spiritual spring water several times and adding his own blood, he finally solved the problem.
After wasting dozens of talisman papers and seven or eight brushes, Jiang Yuchuan finally succeeded in drawing his first talisman!
Truly—a story worthy of praise and tears, a cause for celebration!
