Immortality begins with equipping a worn-out talisman pen.

Upon hearing this, Li Mufeng could only manage a wry smile.

"Young Miss, I've only been a mid-grade first-tier talisman master for two years. How can I possibly comprehend the Concentration Talisman so easily?"

"Oh?"

Bai Lingxi suddenly took a step forward, and a faint fragrance wafted from the girl.

She tiptoed, leaned close to Li Mufeng's ear, and whispered:

"I've investigated you, you know."

Warm breath landed on my ear, causing a slight tickle.

"You are a disciple of Master Lu, so you must have learned the Heavenly Origin Qi Talisman Making Technique. But the jade slip you gave me didn't mention a single word about the method of life-life interaction."

She blinked and said with a smile:

"I know that the lineage of yours cannot be passed on to outsiders, and I have no intention of learning your fundamental teachings."

"I'm not one to follow the path of life-and-death connection, but my Bai family is rich. You can certainly use this as a starting point to come up with some methods for drawing talismans using precious spiritual materials. With your experience and my wisdom, how could you not get a simple Mind-Concentrating Talisman?"

Li Mufeng was about to speak up and refuse.

The next moment, Bai Lingxi's smile suddenly faded.

"And... don't you want to know exactly how Master Lu died back then?"

Li Mufeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he took a step back.

"What does Miss Bai mean by this?"

Bai Lingxi took in his expression and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"In my Bai family's library, there are many old files, including records of the events at Jinquan Bay."

"The details of Lu Fushi's murder, the people involved, and even some secrets unknown to outsiders... may all be found out."

She slowly took a step back, put her hands behind her back, and smiled like a little fox.

"You can't afford to offend the Wang family, but my Bai family might be just as formidable. If you help me win the Immortal Seed Assessment, I'll help you uncover the truth of what happened back then."

"Even if it really needs to..."

The girl tilted her head slightly, a sly glint in her eyes.

"It's not like I can't stand up for you this time."

Upon hearing this, Li Mufeng's gaze sharpened slightly.

The death of his master, Lu Tianhe, has always been a thorn in his side.

It's not that he's particularly obsessed with revenge.

Those who cultivate immortality have long lifespans and never settle scores overnight. If one day his cultivation surpasses that of the Wang family patriarch, even if the patriarch dies by then, he can still dance on the patriarch's grave and conveniently wipe out the Wang family.

What truly concerned him was the cause of Lu Tianhe's death.

Over the years, he had a vague feeling that he was always being watched by an invisible eye.

From the Wang Family Cave to Black Stone Market, and then to the Qingxuan Sect, that subtle sense of being watched never disappeared.

He was like an observer who had stumbled into a game of chess, yet he didn't even know who was playing the game.

And the Wang family...

Did they want to kill him, or were they using him to find something?

If these issues are not clarified, even if he can cultivate in peace, there will always be a thorn in his heart.

Thinking of this, Li Mufeng slowly raised his head, looked at the girl in front of him, and his gaze was extremely sincere:

"I never intended to seek revenge against the Wang family. However, Miss Bai's dedication to the pursuit of the Dao is admirable. Since we are discussing the Dao with like-minded people, I should not hold back any further information."

At this point, he added:

"But let me be frank from the start, my understanding of the Concentration Talisman is actually quite limited, and my understanding of other talisman-making methods besides the connection between life and death is even more superficial. I can try to provide some ideas for you, but whether you can gain anything depends on your own comprehension and opportunities."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lingxi's face lit up with a smile. She had always been very confident in her talent for talismanic arts.

"no problem!"

Li Mufeng continued:

"In addition, I need a large amount of high-grade talisman paper and spirit ink to deduce the changes in the spirit patterns of the Concentration Talisman."

"What's this?"

Bai Lingxi snapped her fingers casually.

Bai Dahai immediately stepped forward and respectfully handed over a storage bag.

Li Mufeng scanned the area with his divine sense and saw fifty sets of high-grade talisman paper and spirit ink neatly arranged inside. They were quite valuable, enough for an ordinary high-grade talisman master to squander for several months.

"Go ahead and do your research."

Bai Lingxi put her hands behind her back and said with a smile:

"I'll cover all the materials used these days. In addition, if you can teach me the Mind Concentration Talisman before the Immortal Seed Assessment, I'll give you a top-grade talisman brush."

Li Mufeng's heart stirred slightly, but he simply nodded calmly.

"make a deal."

The Immortal Seed Assessment is scheduled for June each year. With more than a month to go before the date, Li Mufeng did not go to the Bai family during this month. Instead, he asked the young lady to come to Wanfuzhai every three days to discuss the Dao of Talismans with him in the backyard.

This was something he did intentionally.

The eldest daughter of the Bai family frequently visited Wanfuzhai, making it clear to almost everyone that the Bai family and the Liu family had joined forces, which would also make him safer in the market.

A month later.

There are only a few days left until the Immortal Seed Assessment.

Suddenly, a joyful cry rang out from the backyard of Wanfuzhai.

"It's done!"

Bai Lingxi's pretty face flushed red, unable to hide her excitement, as she stared intently at the talisman floating in front of her.

A spiritual light flowed across the talisman, and the Daoist charm was faintly visible.

It was none other than a Concentration Talisman!

Seeing this scene, Li Mufeng couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

It must be admitted that Bai Lingxi's talent in talismanic arts is truly monstrous.

In just one month, under his constant guidance and deduction, she managed to increase the success rate of the Concentration Talisman to 10%.

Don't underestimate this one percent.

For ancient talismans, being able to stably form a talisman is already considered to have crossed the threshold.

If combined with top-quality talisman paper, top-quality spirit ink, and top-quality talisman brush, the success rate will increase even further.

Although there is still a considerable gap between him and a true first-tier high-grade talisman master, he is more than capable of handling the Immortal Seed assessment.

It should be noted that back then, Fairy Xi Yao, who was hailed as the number one talisman master of Lingyun Peak in a hundred years, had only just mastered mid-grade talismans when she participated in the Immortal Seed Assessment.

Thinking of this, Li Mufeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Indeed, the world is never short of geniuses.

Bai Lingxi was in a great mood at the moment.

She took out a pure white talisman brush from her storage bag, and also took out a scroll, handing them both to Li Mufeng.

"Well, I always keep my word."

"Just wait and see what good news I have for you regarding this Immortal Seed assessment."

Li Mufeng accepted the items, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled:

"Miss Bai is very generous."

Bai Lingxi raised her chin triumphantly, then left Wanfuzhai with light steps.

Watching the girl's departing figure, Li Mufeng finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

He has racked his brains for the past month.

He had to neither reveal his true mastery of talismans nor allow Bai Lingxi to successfully master the Concentration Talisman. The difficulty in striking the right balance was far greater than drawing talismans himself.

Fortunately, the final result was satisfactory.

For him, this month was also very fruitful.

The abundance of high-quality materials provided by Bai Lingxi allowed him to practice high-quality talismans without any worries.

In just one month, he accumulated more than twenty high-grade talismans.

These talismans cannot be sold openly for the time being, otherwise they will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives.

Whether kept as a protective trump card or used to exchange for Foundation Establishment resources in the Immortal City in the future, it can be considered a considerable fortune.
