Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 116: Five Thunder Talisman, Completed!

"You..."

Zhong Cang's indifferent behavior made Yan Yuqin's face blush with embarrassment. A surge of momentum emanated from her, pressing down on Zhong Cang.

Clearly, Zhong Cang's personality was different from Yan Lingwei's. Being conservative, she didn't like it when others used things she had used before, especially by other men.

On the other hand, Yan Lingwei's gaze turned slightly colder.

However, she covered half of her face with a folding fan, making it impossible for others to know what she was thinking.

Although Zhong Cang didn't have the time to pay attention to her.

With the activation of Tianxin, all of his actions were focused and prioritized for efficiency.

The actions of the two women were completely ignored by Zhong Cang.

Sitting down with a pen in hand, he began to write on the talisman paper as smoothly as Yan Yuqin.

"Swish..."

His writing speed was fast, and due to the control of Tianxin, Zhong Cang's spiritual energy input remained stable.

However, even though the copy was about ninety percent accurate, when he had only drawn one-third of the talisman, something unexpected happened.

With a "sizzle," a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared from the talisman paper while he was writing, causing a part of the yellowed paper to burn.

Talismans needed to be complete, and the burnt paper indicated that Zhong Cang had failed in drawing the talisman for the first time.

"Why?"

"Where did I go wrong?"

Zhong Cang couldn't understand and pondered the reason for his mistake.

On the other hand, after watching Zhong Cang's smooth writing, Yan Yuqin was first surprised, but after the surprise came anger at being deceived.

"Hehe..."

After a cold laugh, Yan Yuqin's gaze suddenly turned towards her niece.

"Where did you find this scoundrel? Not only is he rude and impolite, but he's also a habitual liar... Well, it's none of my business, but I don't welcome such scum here. Take him away. Also, take away all the chairs he sat on and burn them."

"Give me the Illusion Stone too. He doesn't deserve my guidance."

Yan Lingwei was somewhat surprised by her aunt's anger, and she didn't quite understand her aunt's accusations.

"Aunt, it's just a chair. It's not worth getting so angry about. Besides, being rude, I agree with you, but even though he's a blockhead, he always keeps his word."

"Keeping his word, heh."

This statement actually made Yan Yuqin laugh in anger.

Pointing at the ruined talisman paper, she said coldly,

"The Five Thunder Talisman is one of the most difficult talismans to draw at the Qi Refining level. He only managed to draw one-third of it in one go. With this level of skill, he has barely touched the edge of a High Level Talisman Master."

"With this level of skill, he tells me he has never drawn a talisman before. Isn't that habitual lying?"

"Or do you think this scoundrel has the skill of a High Level Talisman Master on his first attempt?"

After painstakingly teaching him from scratch for an hour, she discovered that he already knew how to do it. This feeling of being deceived made Yan Yuqin accumulate anger within her.

It was also because of her high cultivation that she brought her niece here.

If either of these two factors were missing, she wouldn't just be sarcastically insulting him, she would have already taken action.

A Foundation Building Perfected Being couldn't be easily deceived and insulted by a Qi Refining Stage cultivator.

In this situation, even Qin Lao, Zhong Cang's master, couldn't say anything if Zhong Cang was beaten.

He could protect Zhong Cang from being bullied, but if Zhong Cang actively provoked a Perfected Being, that would be a different matter.

...

Yan Yuqin was angry, while Yan Lingwei's mind echoed with one sentence:

"A first attempt at drawing a talisman with the skill of a High Level Talisman Master."

Although Yan Lingwei was well aware that this sentence was said sarcastically by Yan Yuqin out of anger.

Her aunt simply didn't believe that anyone could achieve such a feat.

With her extensive knowledge of cultivation, she also found it hard to believe.

However, Yan Lingwei trusted Zhong Cang and didn't believe he would lie.

Moreover, she hadn't forgotten that Zhong Cang had gained enlightenment just by casually walking on the island.

Witnessing such an exaggerated event, where his first attempt at drawing a talisman had the skill of a High Level Talisman Master, although it was also outrageous, Yan Lingwei found that she could accept it when she knew it was done by Zhong Cang.

After a moment of silence, she softly spoke, "Aunt, is it possible that Brother Cang didn't lie and he just has extraordinary talent?"

"Impossible! A first attempt at drawing a talisman with the skill of a High Level Talisman Master? What do you think this art of drawing talismans is?"

"This path is vast and profound, requiring step-by-step progress. Even with extraordinary talent, it's impossible to step into the realm of a High Level Talisman Master in one go..."

Their differing views led to an argument between the two girls.

Meanwhile, Zhong Cang, amidst the argument, focused his thoughts on the reason for his talisman drawing failure.

However, it was difficult for Zhong Cang to figure it out on his own.

But it doesn't matter, Heaven Rewards Diligence will take action.

The previous talisman drawing, although Zhong Cang failed, resulted in a wasted talisman paper.

But this wholehearted act of drawing talismans is undoubtedly a practice of talisman techniques.

Heaven Rewards Diligence allows Zhong Cang to reap rewards as long as he works hard in his cultivation.

Although the talisman was not drawn completely, Zhong Cang's proficiency did not increase, only gaining a small fraction.

But it still gave him some inspiration.

More importantly, Zhong Cang has a new approach.

"Swish..."

Taking out a piece of talisman paper, Zhong Cang holds a brush and continues to draw talismans.

"Sizzle..."

When he was one-third of the way through, electric sparks appeared on the talisman paper again, rendering the talisman he was drawing useless.

Under normal circumstances, a talisman master would definitely stop and find the reason.

But Zhong Cang remained indifferent and continued to write.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

Although electric sparks kept flashing on the talisman paper during Zhong Cang's writing process.

When Zhong Cang completed the Thundercloud Talisman of the Five Thunder Talismans, a small explosion occurred, directly turning the talisman paper into ashes.

However, this scene did not disappoint him; instead, a smile appeared on his lips.

"I succeeded. Although the talisman exploded, I completed a full practice. The proficiency of the Thundercloud Talisman increased a bit."

As proficiency in the technique increased, insights emerged.

At this moment, a burst of inspiration surged into Zhong Cang's mind, allowing him to vaguely perceive why his talisman drawing failed.

"Was the amount of spiritual energy input incorrect?"

"But how is that possible? I clearly followed the frequency of Yan Yuqin's Flame Language Qin to input spiritual energy."

Unable to figure it out, Zhong Cang decided to stop thinking about it.

"Swish..."

Taking out another piece of talisman paper, Zhong Cang started writing the Five Thunder Talisman again.

"Sizzle..."

When he was halfway through, electric sparks appeared on the talisman paper again, turning it black.

Just like before, although the talisman writing failed, he completed a full practice of the Five Thunder Talisman.

Thus, his proficiency increased again.

In this way, in the state of Tianxin, although Zhong Cang's talismans were destroyed as soon as they were drawn, he continued to write.

After twelve consecutive attempts, insights from the increased proficiency flooded Zhong Cang's mind, helping him understand the reason for his previous failures.

"I made a mistake. I shouldn't have completely imitated it."

"There are no two identical leaves in the world, and no one can completely imitate the comprehension of a technique."

"And with different understandings of the Palm Containing Five Thunders, the frequency of spiritual energy input during writing will also be different... I will never be able to draw a talisman by completely imitating it!"

Having confirmed this, Zhong Cang no longer maintained the same rhythm as Yan Yuqin in his writing.

Initially, he reduced the output of spiritual power.

However, this kind of writing had even worse results. Previously, Zhong Cang could draw up to one-third, but now he could only draw up to one-fourth before electric currents appeared on the talisman.

Seeing this, Zhong Cang began to increase the output of spiritual energy.

Thirty percent, fifty percent, seventy percent, one hundred percent!

"Boom!"

When he released his spiritual energy to the fullest, a formidable aura rose from Zhong Cang.

At the same time, he discovered that in this state of writing, every stroke he made carried a violent force that landed on the talisman paper, causing each Thundercloud Talisman to contain a majestic power of thunder and lightning.

This power seemed to penetrate the paper, making people awe-inspiring. However, in this state, the talisman paper did not immediately collapse.

Not only did it not collapse, but Zhong Cang, who was exerting all his spiritual energy, actually completed a full writing of the Five Thunder Talisman.

"Hum..."

"Sizzle..."

When Zhong Cang finished the last stroke and stopped writing, electric sparks and spiritual light appeared on the talisman paper at the same time.

But this time, the electric sparks were confined within the Thundercloud Talisman and did not burn the talisman paper.

After dozens of attempts at drawing talismans, Zhong Cang finally drew his first talisman in his life.

This success also made the two women who were arguing nearby stop at the same time.
