Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 53 Chen Yunyi's Talisman-Making Class

At the foot of Phoenix Mountain in the inner valley lies the family mansion.

Chen Yunyi sat alone in Qingwei Hall, holding a book on formations in her hands, studying it carefully.

She is an extremely patient person, and has always been methodical and organized in everything she does.

At this moment, however, her mind was somewhat unsettled, making it difficult for her to seriously comprehend the formations in the book.

I simply put down the book, took out the tea set, and prepared to brew tea.

Yesterday, Chen Qian sent Su Jin to request an audience, saying that she would come to visit at noon today to ask for advice on talisman making and formations.

She remained expressionless at the time, but a hint of joy stirred within her.

For some reason, she really looked forward to spending time and communicating with Chen Qian.

As the time for the visit drew near, my usually calm and still mind was suddenly disturbed, as if a tiny pebble had struck the surface, breaking the smoothness of the mirror and creating ripples.

Before long, a maid came to report that Chen Qian had arrived and was waiting at the door.

"Invite him in."

As Chen Qian stepped into Qingwei Hall, a gust of wind blew by, and the copper bells on the eaves outside the door jingled softly.

He looked up and saw Chen Yunyi sitting by a wooden table, holding a teapot in her slender hands. Hot water was poured into the teacup, and the white steam made her features look like a painting.

"Sister Yunyi."

Chen Qian bowed respectfully, and a scroll of silk and several talismans slid out from his sleeve.

"These are some talismans I just drew, along with some of my insights into the basics of array formations, and some basic array patterns that I've broken down."

Chen Qian came to the wooden table, sat down facing Chen Yunyi, and placed the silk book and talisman in his hand on the wooden table.

Chen Yunyi nodded slightly, but did not reply. She simply continued to brew the spiritual tea.

With unhurried movements, she raised and lowered the teapot three times with her slender wrist, using the "Phoenix Three Nods" technique to make the boiling water flow like a dragon entering the abyss, causing the tea leaves to unfurl like butterfly wings and swirl in the bowl with a green vortex.

Two cups of spiritual tea were quickly presented by her pleasing hands, instantly filling the room with a delicate fragrance.

Chen Qian couldn't help but become engrossed in it, and his mind became much more peaceful.

With a light tap of her snow-white, crystal-clear jade fingers, a cup of spiritual tea gently landed on the wooden table in front of Chen Qian. Chen Yunyi parted her cherry lips slightly and said, "Have a cup of tea first."

"it is good."

Chen Qian understood that the more peaceful and tranquil one's mindset was when practicing cultivation techniques, the better.

Chen Yunyi intentionally demonstrated his tea-making skills in order to adjust his state of mind through tea art and achieve better learning results.

As she slowly drank the spiritual tea, Chen Yunyi picked up a few talismans from the table and began to examine them intently.

These were the several lightness talismans and wind shield talismans that Chen Qian had successfully drawn in the past few days.

"This is a drawing that was just successfully completed."

Chen Yunyi picked up three identical wind shield talismans, her fingertips lightly stroking the three talismans. Ice spiritual energy flowed through the patterns on the talisman paper, emitting a faint blue light. She asked softly.

Chen Qian nodded shyly and said, "Yes, Sister Yunyi. I only started trying to draw these in the last few days."

"It's clear that of the two low-grade first-tier items, this last one has successfully reached the mid-grade level."

"This turning point on the mid-grade talisman has already captured three-tenths of the essence of 'a fish wagging its tail.'"

There was admiration in Chen Yunyi's eyes.

On their first attempt, they were able to quickly summarize their experience and improve their drawing skills, moving from low-grade to mid-grade. Their ability to learn, summarize, and improve on their own is outstanding.

Moreover, Chen Qian's cultivation level is not even at the fourth level of Qi Refining, yet he was able to draw a mid-grade talisman, which proves that his magical power is highly pure and his control is strong enough.

In theory, all basic spells, as long as the spell is mastered, the drawing skills are superb, the mana is sufficient, and the control is precise, can at most create a first-tier top-level talisman.

With practice, drawing skills can be gradually improved.

To reach the required level of magical power, one only needs to reach a certain realm.

The main factors preventing many peak Qi Refining cultivators from drawing top-tier first-order talismans are their proficiency in spells and their precise control.

Mastering a spell requires not only the ability to cast it skillfully, but also a true grasp of the spell's spiritual energy pathways.

Precise control requires a high degree of control over magical power, which demands a high level of purity of magical power and control over divine sense.

The other seven lightness talismans were in the same situation, four low-grade and three mid-grade. "Your talisman-making talent is quite good. You just need to practice your drawing techniques more, and you can improve quickly."

"I am more proficient in water and ice magic, so I also have some knowledge of talismans in these two elements. If you are interested, you can try to learn these two elements of magic."

"As for the technique of drawing talismans, draw a few on the spot, and I'll see if there's anything I can teach you."

Having said that, he led him into the inner room of Qingwei Hall.

Spirit ink, talisman paper, and talisman brushes were already prepared on the table in the middle, and even the cinnabar in the inkstone was ground to the perfect consistency.

She is always thorough in her work.

Chen Qian didn't say much. He nodded to Chen Yunyi, then, after calming his mind, walked to the table to begin drawing.

Pick up the talisman pen on the table. It is a top-tier first-order talisman pen, and the talisman paper and spirit ink are also of superior first-order quality.

Chen Qian has never used such a high-level configuration before. To be honest, it would be a waste to give it to him now, because with his current skills and level, he simply cannot draw a first-grade high-quality talisman.

Clear your mind of distractions and stop daydreaming; immerse yourself completely in the process of making the talisman.

"In drawing, one must be steady with the brush, and keep the twelve methods of brushwork in mind."

"Where to swing, where to lift and press, the horizontal movement and the turning point are hidden in the tip of the brush. All the hairs work together, the speed and the slowness are as if guided by a god, the connection of the brush and the change of the tip are all implied."

Chen Qian focused intently on controlling the brushstrokes, while Chen Yunyi carefully observed and recited the drawing techniques at an extremely slow pace.

The voice was ethereal and otherworldly, seemingly carrying a special rhythm, as if reciting a magnificent chapter, slowly seeping into Chen Qian's heart, allowing his understanding of painting techniques to advance by leaps and bounds.

The lingering sound gradually dissipated, and Chen Qian also put down his pen and stood up, feeling thoroughly satisfied. The wind shield talisman under his pen had flashed with spiritual light for a moment before receding into its inner form.

Success!

Another mid-grade wind shield talisman, but its spiritual energy was clearly more imposing, far surpassing the one Chen Qian had brought.

It's clear that Chen Qian's drawing skills have improved significantly, and his energy and spirit were at their peak while drawing. He was in excellent condition, and this is a work that will be difficult to surpass in the short term.

Since he was in good condition and not mentally exhausted, Chen Qian continued his efforts, trying to draw all the other spells he currently knew.

Chen Yunyi also occasionally offered tips on drawing techniques and magic control.

Unfortunately, he was still a bit too hasty, and he failed to draw the Shadow Escape Talisman, Golden Light Talisman, and Vine Entanglement Talisman.

Although these three spells are also considered basic spells, their difficulty is far greater than that of Fireball and Wind Blade.

Chen Qian stumbled and faltered when he tried to cast spells, and his understanding of spiritual patterns was only superficial. Yet he dared to attempt to draw them, which was impossible even with his innate divine soul.

And just like that, the afternoon passed quickly.

"You should rest for a few days before coming back; you're quite exhausted today."

"I'll look at your silk scroll of formations later."

As Chen Qian prepared to return to the small courtyard, Chen Yunyi escorted him to the gate of the mansion and gave him these instructions.

"I will follow Sister Yunyi's instructions!"

Chen Qian made a sword-finger gesture, tracing it from his forehead to his temple.

"Virtue!"

Chen Yunyi smiled and replied in an annoyed tone.

This was the first time Chen Qian had ever seen Chen Yunyi smile.

The setting sun slanted across Chen Yunyi's profile, her faint smile like the breaking of an ice lake or the melting of spring snow.

Her usually aloof and cool features suddenly came to life, and the slight curve at the corners of her eyes resembled a crescent moon hooking the clouds in the sky.

Chen Qian was stunned, staring blankly at Chen Yunyi.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yunyi seemed to sense something, her fingertips unconsciously stroking her temples, the corners of her lips that had just curled up making her feel a little dazed.

The scolding that just slipped out carried a youthful, vibrant charm.

Chen Qian's heart skipped a beat.

Chen Yunyi's smile just now shook him even more than the birth of the spiritual vein.
