The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 75: A flash of inspiration becomes a talisman
The north wind was bleak, and as the twelfth lunar month began, heavy snow fell in Wujing.

It was a rare opportunity for Lang Jiuchuan to enjoy the peace and quiet in her own courtyard. Now the courtyard was no longer as desolate and dilapidated as when she first came here.

With the good things sent by the Shen family and Lang Zhengping's escort, many more good things were sent to her yard. She first used the best five elements to set up a small study for herself, which could gather spiritual energy and store energy. It was an excellent place to nourish the body and calm the soul.

In addition, she also made some adjustments to the layout of the yard, setting up a small Feng Shui layout to allow the yard to better absorb sunlight and vitality, and revitalize the spiritual energy of the entire yard.

With this movement, not only did she feel an obvious difference, but even the people working in the courtyard had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, as if their moods became smoother and they became calmer. However, they only thought that it was the atmosphere brought by their master Lang Jiuchuan. After all, people are divided into groups. With this idea in mind, they worked extra seriously and attentively.

The family was in mourning and it was not convenient to go out in winter. Lang Jiuchuan was in poor health. Every day, apart from paying her respects to Old Madam Lang and listening to some sour words from people in the family about her being stingy, she just stayed in the study.

Yes, everyone knew that the Shen family had sent generous gifts. Seeing that Lang Jiuchuan had given gifts to old lady Lang Zhengping and Cui respectively, and had not sent any more gifts, it was more or less said that she was narrow-minded and not generous enough.

That is, she didn't say it in front of Lang Jiuchuan. If she had, she would have probably lost her temper and started to speak harshly on the spot.

The ones who talked the most were the women of Lang Cailing. After all, they had suffered a great loss at the hands of Lang Jiuchuan. In the past, because Aunt Chen was favored, they and their siblings were also quite proud. However, they did not expect that Lang Jiuchuan would bully them and they were caught by Lang Zhengping. Not only were they punished to kneel and reflect in the ancestral hall, but they were also confined to learn the rules afterwards. Even Aunt Chen crying until she was about to die was of no use. In the end, the whole family fell ill.

When his spirit and soul were almost healed, Lang Jiuchuan began to make the talisman for restoring yang. He spread the talisman paper made with top-grade medicinal materials and decoctions on the desk paper, and the aroma of medicine was in the air.

Jiang Che squatted at the corner of the table, sniffed it, and said, "This medicine soup is enough to replenish the body."

The ginseng is two hundred years old, the Polygonum multiflorum is also a hundred years old, and there are various top-grade medicinal materials for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy. Even in the circle of nobles, they may not be so generous, but she used them to prepare medicine talismans.

Lang Jiuchuan said: "So don't waste it, make a few more."

He took a look at the dried talisman papers, there were more than ten of them, placed in a jade box that could preserve the medicinal flavor. He knew that they were not only used to make talisman talismans for restoring yang, but also to draw other talismans.

It then looked at the top-grade cinnabar placed in bone china on the side. It was also specially blended. Instead of dissolving it directly with ordinary water, it was made by boiling the golden-edged snow lotus from the top of the mountain with dew, which was then used to soak the ashes in front of the Buddha. After the ashes were soaked and left to stand, the purest water that was filtered out was used to mix the cinnabar.

Therefore, this cinnabar liquid has a refreshing smell of snow lotus.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Lang Jiuchuan washed his hands very solemnly and burned incense to worship the gods. He then made a hand gesture and summoned the judge's pen. He dipped it in cinnabar liquid and calmly wrote on the talisman paper.

Drawing talismans and invigorating spirits, drawing is important, but invigorating spirits is more important. The talismans should be drawn in one go, which is very easy to do for people with good painting skills, but the most difficult thing is to put the Taoist ideas on the talisman paper with a pen. This requires not only strong mental strength, but also sufficient Taoist practice to be able to follow the heart with the pen.

Once the Tao spirit is infused into it, the force will be as heavy as a thousand pounds. If you make a mistake, the talisman will be ruined.

Jiang Che treated himself as a quail and dared not make a sound for fear of disturbing her and ruining a piece of talisman paper. The materials for making this thing were really expensive and troublesome. But materials were a small matter. Putting all the effort into drawing the talisman was the big thing. If he disturbed her and it backfired, that would be a big trouble.

It hopes that this madman will get better.

Lang Jiuchuan did not disappoint it. As soon as the talisman pen fell, complicated runes fell on it. The pen in her hand was as agile as a dragon or a snake.

A little bit of inspiration can make a talisman.

That's probably what she said, ignoring her pale face. Lang Jiuchuan was focused.

All her mental strength was concentrated on the pen and talisman paper. Complex runes emerged in her mind, and the talisman pen in her hand had already engraved them on the talisman paper, carrying a powerful Taoist meaning.

The talisman for restoring yang is a fight for life against the heavens, and it also has some meaning of going against the will of heaven. It is certainly not as simple as an ordinary talisman.

She drew the talisman to save herself, not to make this body more dilapidated.

When the last rune was drawn, the talisman pen was put aside, and she made the hand gesture again and hit it on the talisman paper.

A faint golden light flashed from the talisman paper, and abundant spiritual energy and vitality emerged on the talisman.

Lang Jiuchuan was overjoyed and it worked.

Jiang Che was also very happy and asked, "Should we use it now?"

Lang Jiuchuan shook his head and said, "After using the talisman, I must be in seclusion for three days. Anyway, I still have some energy left, so I will draw these few more lines."

She put the revitalizing talisman aside, calmed herself, and picked up the talisman pen again to draw the soul-soothing and body-strengthening talisman on the talisman papers. This was much easier than the revitalizing talisman, but after only drawing four, she already looked pale, her soul and body felt weak, her hands were shaking, and she was exhausted.

After all, it is because both her soul and body are incomplete that her abilities are limited.

Jiang Che felt that she had used up all her mental energy and couldn't help but think about something.

Does this mean that there is no construction without destruction?

Just like what our ancestors once said, some cultivators, before advancing, would use up all their strength in order to achieve the goal of breaking through before building up. Once they succeed in overcoming the calamity, their tendons and veins would be more full.

Doesn't this guy have the same idea?
Lang Jiuchuan slumped in his chair, looking at the several talismans lined up in a row, and said, "If I were a Quanhu, how powerful would I be?"

She still has one soul and two spirits that are incomplete, and her body is still incomplete, yet she can still draw such talismans. If she were a good person at her peak, what would she be like?
Lang Jiuchuan glanced at the absent-minded general standing beside him and said, "It is said that this world lacks spiritual energy, and not everyone can practice Taoism. Only the people of the Xuan Clan have the roots of Taoism and can realize the great Dao. And you have never heard of a powerful person like me?"

He twitched his mouth a few times and said, "It's hard to say whether you are really capable or not, but you are really thick-skinned. You are even more shameless than Wang Po. You are so shameless!"

"Don't talk nonsense. You have been practicing for so long, but you have never heard of any powerful people?"

Jiang Che said, "I practiced in the depths of Changbai Mountain. I have only been in the secular world of Wujing for more than a year. However, I have heard of a few people in the City God Temple before, and they are all alive and well. So I am sorry that I am not very clear whether there are any legends about you in the world, but you lost one soul and two spirits. Could it be that you were harmed by someone? It is unlikely that a Taoist with great abilities would not be recruited if he was high-profile. Judging from your vicious and crazy personality, you are not someone who depends on others for your support. Could it be that you were attacked in this way?"

Lang Jiuchuan narrowed his eyes: "According to what you mean, maybe someone from the Xuan Clan messed with me?"

　In the new year, the aura shines. I wish all my book friends good luck, prosperity, wealth, a good future, a happy new year, and all the best!

　　He also wishes me to win more times playing mahjong, hehe!
