I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Chapter 304 Tian Shu and Talisman Brush Set_1

The new semester began, and Chen Mobai made a special trip to the Talisman Department for some matters.

By the time he was in class, he heard a piece of good news.

Zhuang Jialan had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment.

If it weren’t for Chen Mobai, she and Si Guanyu would have been the leading figures in the Talisman Department.

Even so, she still showed off her talent.

Si Guanyu also understood the critical law, but he was a bit unlucky. He failed at the critical moment where Divine Sense was about to leave the body. If he had not used the critical law to retrace, he would have scattered his mind, and his Elemental Energy would have suffered significant damage.

Even so, he still needs to delay for half a year before he can establish foundation.

“Congratulations, committee member Zhuang, Class Leader Si shouldn’t be discouraged. With your talent, you’ll definitely be able to establish your foundation within this year.”

After the first class of the new semester ended, Chen Mobai sat in the center of the front row. Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan walked over to greet him, the chief of the Daoist Academy.

“Let’s hope your words bring me luck. However, I originally made an agreement with Zhuang to restore a Rank-3 ancient talisman this term. But now, it has to be postponed.”

Si Guanyu said with a bitter smile. He and Zhuang Jialan had passed the Talisman Maker’s Rank-2 examination given by the immortal gate when they were in the fourth grade. Their next goal is naturally the Rank-3 position.

And restoring an ancient talisman is a way they improve their learning.

There are many high-rank ancient talismans in the Talisman Department that are damaged and cannot be used, all of which contain rudimentary and profound knowledge about talisman-making.

Restoring each ancient talisman is an enhancement and refinement of one’s knowledge base.

This is because during the restoration process, various modern talisman knowledge needs to be used to supplement those incomplete patterns of the dao and traces of spirits in the ancient talisman.

Using this method, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan improved their talisman making skills significantly and also developed the ability to think and solve problems independently.

This was also mentioned by Xu Xiu, the Talisman Department’s teacher, in the classroom. However, only a few among the entire class did it, and the ones who achieved results were these two.

Chen Mobai focused on elevating his realm and cultivation level. Although Xu Xiu had suggested several times that he join Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan’s team to restore ancient talismans, he promised but had never participated in this ancient talisman restoration group.

“That’s the case, Class Leader Si, Committee Member Zhuang, I also registered for the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam this year. Thinking about your experiences, I came today to draw on your wisdom.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Mobai got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan exchanged glances. Later, the latter nodded and spoke.

“Class Leader Si will focus on establishing foundation this year and probably won’t have much time. If you have any problems in talisman-making, you can directly ask me.”

“Won’t that be too much trouble for you?”

Chen Mobai thanked her politely.

Zhuang Jialan shook her head, indicating that she alone could hardly restore the Rank-3 ancient talisman. As Si Guanyu was working on his foundation, she also had no other things to do. She felt honored to be able to help Chen Mobai, the academy’s chief, improve. As a member of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, she was more than willing to help.

“Thank you. By the way, Committee Member Zhuang, after establishing the foundation, you must have received a device piece, right? Have you thought about what type of Magic Artifact you want? As the student union president, there’s not much I can help you with, but I do have some skills in identifying Device Nurturing Spheres.”

Chen Mobai originally wanted to give some Rank-2 talisman paper and talisman ink, but that seemed a bit common. Thinking that Zhuang Jialan had just established her foundation and likely hadn’t opened a Device Nurturing Sphere yet, he offered to find a suitable Magic Artifact for her from the Treasure Trove.

“That would be great. I’ve heard about your reputation as the No.1 Spirit Eye from the senior students who have established their foundations.”

“It’s just a reputation.”

Chen Mobai modestly downplayed the compliment, then invited Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu to have lunch in the cafeteria.

It must be said that people who concentrate on studying talismans have indeed more outstanding professional knowledge than Chen Mobai, who has divided attentions.

Zhuang Jialan tutored Chen Mobai for seven days, and the latter finally made some progress on the Water Mirror Talisman, which he had been unable to draw.

“Your two talisman brushes, the rabbit hair one is softer and can carry more ink, suitable for drawing round and thick strokes; the wolf hair one is stiffer, powerful and vigorous, suitable for those lines.”

“The outer contour of the Water Mirror Talisman can be drawn with the wolf hair brush, and the mirror surface is best drawn with the rabbit hair brush. Use the firm and direct lines of the wolf hair brush to envelop the shadow and light and dark of the mirror surface.”

“This golden paper is very good, particularly suitable for the Water Mirror Talisman. The talisman ink is also not bad, although it is not the most suitable water pattern ink, it is still the best-selling standard Rank-2 talisman ink in the immortal gate…”

Generally speaking, although there are many types of talisman papers, there are only a few suitable for the Five Elements. So Chen Mobai’s Flying Heaven Talisman Factory can basically manufacture them all.

But talisman ink is different. With various types, Chen Mobai, not being that meticulous, simply took some of the best quality and most versatile Rank-2 talisman ink from his factory.

“But the talisman brushes are a bit inadequacy. In addition to the two main talisman brushes, it’s better to purchase a set of good auxiliary talisman brushes. Rank-1 is enough. This will be of great help for the exam.”

At last, Zhuang Jialan gave her opinion after the training.

“I’ve been using these two talisman brushes for several years, and I feel their feel is not bad. It’s no problem to draw any talisman or line.”

Chen Mobai looked at the two Rank-2 Talisman Brushes made of rabbit hair and wolf hair by his side. After he established the foundation, he had been using these two brushes for drawing any talisman, spiritual patterns, lines, even coloring and his success rate was quite high.
