Arknights, are you a good person?

The eldest son, 6 years old, and the second son, 6 years old, one learned how to pinch spokespersons, and the other learned how to do mitosis.

"I'm not trying to show off, I just wanted to ask you."

Zhongyue put his hands behind his back and asked, "Are you interested in being a sword bearer?"

234: Can’t Qi Yuan draw talismans?

Man with sword.

A name that carries both murderous intent and responsibility. When Zhong Yue blurted it out, the temperature in Jiange seemed to drop by several degrees.

Zhongyue's expression was as if he was entrusting someone with a very heavy responsibility.

"Don't think this sword is very powerful."

Zhong Yue said honestly: "Obtaining it will not immediately make Yumen's ranking in the martial arts performance jump to the first place. It is just a sword. At most, it is a little sharper and harder because of the material it is made of."

"How sharp and how hard?"

Qi Yuan looked at the sword curiously. It was silent and majestic, like a sleeping dragon.

"After all, the material is special. If there is no giant beast-level existence that transforms itself into a sword in other places on Terra, this is probably the hardest and sharpest sword on this land."

Zhong Yue said with emotion, and lightly flicked the pale yellow sword, which responded with a crisp sound of sword.

Qi Yuan suddenly rubbed his hands seriously and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "In this case, I will have to accept it reluctantly..."

"Qi Yuan, stop it."

Zhongyue quickly shook his head: "I have no plans to retire yet."

The handover he was talking about is in the future.

It turned out to be a loan reward.

Qi Yuan immediately put his hand down and looked at Zhong Yue, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Isn’t it true that the elders saw the young people bringing rare things and said indignantly, “We have similar things at home,” and deliberately pulled the young people to the storage room to show off?

In short, apart from knowing that Zhongyue had a huge sword that he had treasured for a long time, Qi Yuan did not get any other information.

They returned to the reception room of the martial arts arena. Qi Yuan looked at the cup of tea in his hand and was silent for a long time.

"You will become a sword-wielder in the future. I am optimistic about you." Zhong Yue said seriously.

"Master, do you want to reward me something?"

Qi Yuan asked tentatively: "But you have been alone for so many years, you don't have any extra money, and you have never kept your martial arts skills to yourself, so I don't know how to reward you. Can you just wave a sword in front of me?"

"..."

After a long silence, Zhongyue nodded.

That's an admission.

"What is going on?" Qi Yuan was suddenly at a loss for words and threw the teacup back onto the table.

"If there is any reward, it should be issued by the Yumen government or the Zuo Jiangjun Mansion. You have no obligation to do so."

Qi Yuan shook his head and stood up.

It seems that I have to go to General Zuo’s Mansion to buy some goods.

This was certainly to ensure that Chongyue's good intentions would not go to waste, and it was certainly not for himself.

He is so kind!

"Qi Yuan, you don't have to..."

"Master, there's no need to say anything." Qi Yuan said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "I know you can't stand it when good people don't get good rewards. It's okay. I'll go and seek justice right away."

He left the table in high spirits.

-------------------------------------

Half an hour later.

In General Zuo’s arsenal, Qi Yuan stretched out his fingers, stroked the spines of the books, suddenly stopped on a book, and then slowly pulled it out.

The book fell into Qi Yuan's hands, and the name came into view.

Contrary to various military strategies, this book is called "From Beginners to Beginners, Introduction to Talisman Making".

Just looking at it you can tell it's difficult to get started.

"Are you sure you want this?" The guard was sweating profusely.

"Of course."

"Uh... this is the book that General Zuo bought when he was young. He was so depressed that he wanted to apply for the civil engineering examination. He spent a lot of money to buy it. It is the memory of his youth."

"Besides, we don't want Mr. Qi to gain nothing."

The guard wanted to say something, but the mighty General Zuo Xuanliao came out and interrupted him.

"Young Master Qi, take it."

Zuo Xuanliao seemed a little absent-minded. While handing over the book, he kept looking at Qi Yuan, as if he was puzzled as to why Qi Yuan chose this book as a reward.

Why? Huh? Why?

Didn't the old master teach how to draw talismans? Why do you have to take advantage of me?

Until Qi Yuan left, Zuo Xuanliao still couldn't figure out this problem. He returned to the study and looked at the handwriting of the Grand Tutor several times, and gradually he figured out a possibility.

Perhaps, we should not be so arbitrary and should think from a different perspective.

The inheritance of the Grand Tutor cannot be so casual. Perhaps this is a kind of test. Only when Qi Yuan figures out how to draw talismans by himself will he be formally trained as the successor.

That must be it!

Zuo Xuanliao was a Confucian general who was very good at making judgments, and he immediately became more certain about this guess.

-------------------------------------

On the way back, Qi Yuan started flipping through the book.

It was written at the beginning of the introduction to talismans that the characters used in talismans are different from the characters used in daily life. Talismans are made by imitating the changing shapes of clouds in the sky or ancient seal and clerical scripts.

Qi Yuan looked at it and shook his head.

No wonder it is so difficult to pass the Tianshi certificate exam. It turns out that one has to learn an obscure foreign language, which is equivalent to learning cursive writing without learning Chinese.

"Using the strokes of the brush as hooks, drawing the energy of heaven and earth... Why do I feel like this is still an Originium technique?"

Qi Yuan flipped through the introductory book and muttered to himself in confusion: "It is known that Originium skills are achieved by communicating with external elements. This talisman looks the same."

Qi Yuan had no knowledge of Originium techniques, and was completely clueless about Heavenly Master talismans.

After reading the entire text of "Pinching the Seals and Concentrating the Visualization" and "Stepping on the Magical Steps", he did not have any clear ideas and only felt a headache.

Fortunately, he has the approval of high morals.

Closing his eyes, Qi Yuan couldn't wait to look at the status bar and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, after I finished reading it, a new section appeared in the system.

Talisman 1 (Please select the attribute as soon as possible).

Compared with the romantic boxing and sword moves, the art of talismans is as cold and ruthless as mathematics.

【Can draw.】

【Draw it casually.】

【Drawing talismans out of thin air.】

If you can do it, you can do it. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it. It’s really cruel.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but shook his head.

The undetermined attributes were not the only thing that concerned him. Qi Yuan also discovered that the data on the progress bar was not proficiency, but "pen strength".

What the hell is this?

Qi Yuan glanced at the puppet with a blank mind, felt something was dangerous, and quickly read the detailed description.

[Talismans are more of a test of eyesight and brainpower, and require constant practice... The host can increase the progress bar by constantly watching and consuming talismans. ]

"Instead of exercising the body like boxing or sword fighting, you have to keep writing and drawing. I understand this, but why can you increase the progress bar by using it?"

Qi Yuan opened his eyes, flipped through the book for a while, and found relevant records.

"Talismans are something that only show what effect each stroke has when they are used, so young Heavenly Masters must often observe the use of talismans by the older generation to ensure improvement."

Just like calligraphy, from tracing to copying.

"The handwriting of the talisman is like a fingerprint, which is unique to each celestial master. The more you see it, the more your talisman will have the style of that master's handwriting..."

Qi Yuan weighed the thick stack of thunder talismans in his arms.

Isn't this a coincidence?

"I choose the Thunder Talisman."

235: He is indeed the successor of the Grand Tutor (3 more)

Originally, these talismans are consumables and will be used up in the future.

Now, when you use it, you can also increase your proficiency in making talismans. You will be able to draw them as you use them, which is the maximum utilization of resources.

In addition, as Taifu is the highest-ranking scholar in the entire Dayan, the thunder talisman he draws should be the strongest one like the standard answer, right?

Qi Yuan couldn't help but be fascinated and tightly grasped the yellowed introductory book.

“I’d call it efficient.”

Qi Yuan did it right away. He half-knelt down and tried to stick a Taifu brand magic talisman on his leg. As thunder and lightning roared, the progress bar of the talisman drawing began to shake slightly.

Qi Yuan moved forward, and as lightning flashed, several traces were drawn in the air, like the strokes of gods and ghosts.

The progress bar went up a little bit!

As Qi Yuan was thinking this, his shoulders suddenly felt heavy and a little painful.

When he looked up, he realized that he had bumped into the wall while walking, and a brick was bulging out. It turned out that he had walked the entire street without realizing it.

The speed has increased by at least three times.

There are also cool lightning effects behind you when you walk.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but think - maybe the appearance of the tutor is not as serious as the candidate's portrait? Although the portrait is fierce and old-fashioned, it becomes handsome when it moves with special effects.

As soon as he stopped, the traces resembling handwriting behind him suddenly decreased, and Qi Yuan quickly started moving again.

A street in Yumen was filled with thunder and lightning.

A handsome afterimage flashed by, with lightning and light behind him, the only myth.

This street is very close to the general's mansion, and even the sentry on the roof can see everything. General Zuo Xuanliao received a tip-off about such a huge commotion a few minutes later.

"really……"

After sending the sentries away, Zuo Xuanliao sat alone in his study and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Taifu has been supporting the Great Yan for three hundred years. Thinking back to the last time we met in the court, he was still so majestic without getting angry, as if he had endless energy."

The emotion reached a point where Zuo Xuanliao couldn't help feeling sad, as if he saw a thousand-year-old tree with lush branches and leaves, but the roots and trunk were already covered with old cracks.

Next to this old tree, a new seedling grew up, crooked and unconventional...

"It turns out that even someone that fast can't catch up with time."

Facing the direction of the capital, Zuo Xuanliao raised a glass of wine: "Cheers to the Grand Tutor, and to these three hundred years of mending. I wish the Grand Tutor a peaceful old age."

"Ugh."

After the toast, there was a sigh.
