Chapter 106 Research on the Lightning Talisman
Su Linghan left, and life returned to normal.
Since no clues of the divine beasts were found in Mingyue City or its vicinity, most of the cultivators who came to Mingyue City in search of opportunities left.
Only a few cultivators with backgrounds stayed, and some even attached themselves to Xuantian Sect, staying in the name of communication.
It seemed that everything had returned to calm.
After that, Lin Xia mostly stayed at home to practice, draw talismans, and refine pills. Occasionally, she would take Uncle Shu and Xiaochu to set up a stall in the market.
Uncle Rat naturally still squatted on Lin Xia's shoulder. A mythical beast like Xiaochu, with obvious features, could only pretend to be a bracelet on Lin Xia's wrist.
Fortunately, the divine beast itself can disguise its own breath. As long as it does not actively expose itself, almost no one can discover Xiaochu's existence.
The little guy gradually came to like the days of accompanying his mother to set up stalls, where he could see the outside world.
These days, Lin Xia started to study the lightning-inducing talisman that he had bought at the auction house before.
While pondering the runes of the lightning-inducing talisman, he also drew many other talismans. Once he had a large stock, he would often set up a stall in the market.
That lightning-attracting talisman was a fifth-level spiritual talisman. Lin Xia had studied it for many days but had made no progress.
However, I have gained more insights into talismans and can draw more fourth-level talismans.
After the last incident with Li Qiu Shui, Lin Xia learned his lesson. Every time he set up a stall, he would use the phantom stone to change his appearance to avoid any trouble in the future.
"Master, is this lightning-inviting talisman so difficult? Master, you have been studying it for a long time." Seeing Lin Xia looking at the lightning-inviting talisman at a loss, Uncle Rat couldn't help but ask.
"When it comes to talismans, the most important thing is the talisman pattern. The patterns on each talisman are different, but they are all interconnected. A slight mistake can lead to a huge difference. If you can't draw a complete talisman pattern, then what you draw will be useless." Lin Xia explained.
While Lin Xia and Uncle Shu were discussing, Xiaochu reached out and picked up the talisman brush, added a few strokes to the failed talisman that Lin Xia had drawn, and added a few blood-red marks on his own hands and face.
The ink used to draw talismans was made of monster blood and was somewhat corrosive. The little guy's actions immediately made Lin Xia and Uncle Rat anxious.
Lin Xia hurriedly picked up Xiaochu and said angrily and anxiously, "Xiaochu, how are you? Does your face hurt?"
However, after getting anxious, Uncle Rat regained his rationality. This little guy is a divine beast, and the most "thick-skinned" dragon among the divine beasts. How could he be afraid of the blood of these monsters?
The fact turned out to be just as Mr. Rat had expected, the little guy was fine.
Xiaochu blinked her big eyes and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I'm not in pain. This ink is hot."
Lin Xia sighed helplessly and was about to clean the blood off Xiaochu's face and hands, but suddenly she saw the useless talisman on the table that Xiaochu had added a few strokes to.
After staring at the useless talisman for a few seconds, Lin Xia suddenly had an idea. Yes, why couldn't he draw the talisman completely? It must be because a few virtual patterns were added to the talisman.
These virtual patterns will not affect the effect of the lightning-inducing talisman, but they will increase the difficulty for others to draw the lightning-inducing talisman.
"So that's it!" Lin Xia muttered to herself, realizing that she had fallen into a misconception.
"What's wrong, Master?" When Lin Xia was lost in thought, Uncle Rat had already helped Xiaochu clean the ink off his face, and now he came over to look at the useless talisman.
Lin Xia laughed heartily, "Xiaochu actually helped me a lot by accident. This lightning talisman must have had useless virtual patterns added to its runes."
Lin Xia happily picked up Xiaochu and kissed him on the cheek. "Xiaochu, you are really your mother's lucky star." Xiaochu giggled at the kiss, revealing two cute dimples on his face.
Taking advantage of the realization in his heart, Lin Xia immediately picked up the talisman pen and began to separate the runes of the lightning-inducing talisman.
Sure enough, she discovered several virtual patterns that were added later.
In this way, Lin Xia was able to decipher the complete rune of the lightning-inducing talisman.
The next step is to verify the correctness of the rune.
Lin Xia worked in the room for three or four days before she was able to roughly draw the complete pattern of the lightning-inducing talisman.
During this period, Uncle Rat and Flying Winged Tiger took Xiaochu out for a stroll. The place they went to was not far away, just in the market town of Mingyue City.
The rat uncles have the innate magical powers of invisibility and space jumping. As long as they don't encounter cultivators above the God Transformation Stage, basically nothing serious will happen. Lin Xia let them go without worry.
Sometimes these creatures would even bring spiritual food back for Lin Xia, all of which they found delicious after tasting.
In the world of cultivation, spiritual beasts are naturally quite intelligent, so it is not uncommon for them to occasionally leave their owners and wander around outside.
Some low-level spirit beasts will not attract the covetousness of other cultivators. After all, raising a spirit beast requires a lot of spirit stones.
Unless the spiritual beast is of a relatively high level and can assist in combat or has special abilities, ordinary cultivators will not easily contract a spiritual beast.
Lin Xia and her family lived a very peaceful life in Mingyue City, but they didn't know that many people outside had not given up looking for the cub of the divine beast. Even Li Haoqing, the son of the leader of the Qingling Beast Taming Sect, was still looking for the flying winged tiger that killed Taoist Cangyu.
I don't know how confident Li Haoqing is. He thinks he can subdue the flying winged tiger, a sixth-level spirit beast with a cultivation level comparable to that of the Yuanying stage, with his cultivation level of the Jindan stage.
If the Flying Winged Tiger knew about this, he would probably sneer at it.
Li Haoqing is currently living as a guest in Xuantian Sect.
Although he was in Xuantian Sect, Li Haoqing still sent disciples from Qingling Beast Taming Sect to inquire about the news of the Flying Winged Tiger, not missing any clues.
However, after many days, there was still no result.
"Young Sect Master, the Flying Winged Tiger is so powerful. Do we really have a chance to subdue it?" a disciple asked cautiously.
Li Haoqing's eyes were determined. "No matter what, this young master must subdue this flying winged tiger."
But in fact, Li Haoqing was not completely sure in his heart.
However, as the son of the leader of the Qingling Beast Taming Sect, he has his own pride and ambition. Contracting a flying winged tiger has always been Li Haoqing's goal.
In addition to the Flying Winged Tiger, Li Haoqing's other purpose in coming to Xuantian Sect was Su Linghan.
Like Li Haoqing, Su Linghan had mutated ice spiritual roots, which were relatively rare in the world of cultivation. They were of similar age, and their cultivation had even reached the Golden Core stage.
Li Haoqing came here to find an opportunity to exchange some skills with Su Linghan, but when he arrived at the Sword Peak of Xuantian Sect, he didn't even see a single person.
