Chapter 167: Chapter 100: Let’s See if My Flying Sword is Sharp! (Reset)_4
One is for making it convenient for himself to act and perform in the future.
He would be able to put the Superior Grade Talismans in the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop for sale in an open and proper manner.
Additionally, it was also to give himself more significance when the Lu Family dealt with this matter, so as not to make it too difficult for the Fourth Elder.
“What, Changsheng, you almost succeeded in making a Superior Grade Talisman?”
The Fourth Elder couldn’t help but feel moved upon hearing this, her face showing surprise.
Even though she had been keeping an eye on Lu Changsheng’s progress in Talisman Making,
at this moment, hearing that Lu Changsheng almost succeeded in crafting a First Grade Superior Talisman was still shocking.
After all, in Talisman Making, the gap between Middle Grade and Superior Grade Talismans can be considered a hurdle.
Many people are unable to overcome this hurdle in their lifetimes.
And Lu Changsheng had just come into contact with Superior Grade Talismans three months ago.
Now, he was only a little bit away from success, which was understandably surprising to her.
Once he succeeded, Lu Changsheng would truly be considered a Superior Grade Talisman Master!
The gap between Middle Grade and Superior Grade Talismans is a hurdle.
There is a distinct difference in identity status between Middle Grade and Superior Grade Talisman Masters.
Middle Grade Talisman Masters can find a way to make a living anywhere and live comfortably.
But if one becomes a Superior Grade Talisman Master, capable of steadily crafting a type of Superior Grade Talisman, it is enough to join many forces using this craft.
To become a distinguished guest, a Guest Elder.
Even within the Lu Family, it is the same!
If Lu Changsheng were to be promoted to Superior Grade Talisman Master, his identity status within the Lu Family would also take another step forward!
Lu Miaoyun, standing by his side, couldn’t help but look towards her husband, her beautiful eyes sparkling with light.
Amazed at the talent her husband exhibited on the Talisman Path, she felt astonishment.
She recalled that when she married Lu Changsheng, he had only recently become a Middle Grade Talisman Master.
Now, less than two months short of three years later, Lu Changsheng was about to become a Superior Grade Talisman Master, and she couldn’t help but feel astounded.
“Didn’t it take Sister Miaoge over five years to go from Middle Grade Talisman Master to Superior Grade Talisman Master?”
Lu Miaoyun lightly bit her lip, considering a reference comparison in her mind.
However, such a comparison made her even more aware of her husband’s astounding talent on the Talisman Path, and her eyes looking towards Lu Changsheng were full of admiration and worship.
“Yes, just a little bit more, but I can’t seem to get past it,” Lu Changsheng nodded and said.
“Draw one now for Grandma to see,” the Fourth Elder immediately said.
“Alright,” Lu Changsheng stood up at once and moved to the table.
He took out his Middle Grade Magic Artifact Talisman Pen and Talisman Making materials from his Storage Bag and began to craft the Talisman.
The Fourth Elder stood by his side quietly observing.
Seeing this, Lu Miaoyun dared not make a sound to disturb her husband, quietly standing aside and watching.
“*Pfft!*
Just as Lu Changsheng was seriously drawing the Superior Grade Golden Light Barrier Talisman with careful strokes, reaching about eighty to ninety percent completion, suddenly there was a disruption in his Spiritual Mechanism, the lines became chaotic, causing blue smoke to rise from the Talisman paper.
“There’s no problem with your tracing of the Talisman lines, but your control over your Spiritual Power is not precise enough.”
“At this point, this point, and these few turning points, there are minor imperfections leading to a chain reaction, which ultimately results in the failure of the Talisman,” the Fourth Elder, having watched, immediately pointed out the problems.
“Come, feel my Spiritual Power,” she immediately stepped forward, holding Lu Changsheng’s palm, and guided him to slowly draw the Golden Light Barrier Talisman with gradual movements.
“At this point, you need to ‘tighten’ your Spiritual Power, but at this turning point you have to ‘slide’ past quickly, then carry a bit of a ‘bounce’ feel…”
“When you get here, the speed needs to be fast, otherwise it will lead to an accumulation of Spiritual Power, just like you accumulated earlier…”
The Fourth Elder taught him hand-in-hand, speaking softly.
A Golden Light Barrier Talisman was then successfully crafted.
“Now, Changsheng, you try again,” the Fourth Elder let go of his hand, speaking kindly to Lu Changsheng.
“Alright,” Lu Changsheng nodded, took a deep breath, and put on a somewhat nervous and earnest facade.
He then took a couple of sips from the White Jade Hundred Flowers Wine.
This had become a habit he had developed under the Fourth Elder’s tutelage in Talisman Making.
One was to show people that his own Cultivation Level was too low and his Spiritual Power insufficient.
The other was that White Jade Hundred Flowers Wine had a heart-clearing and mind-calming effect.
For the process of Talisman Making, which consumed a great deal of Mental Spirit, it could help varyingly from person to person.
After he had made his preparations,
Lu Changsheng held the talisman brush with a serious expression, completely focused as he began to slowly draw the talisman.
The process was slow and steady.
The Fourth Elder and Lu Miaoyun both watched quietly, without making a sound.
“Humm!”
Just as Lu Changsheng finished the last stroke, a golden light spread out on the paper, a buzzing sound occurred, then the golden light converged and the talisman solidified.
A First Grade Superior Grade Talisman, the Golden Light Barrier Talisman, complete!
“Good! Good! Good!”
The Fourth Elder, upon seeing the talisman complete, was extremely surprised and joyfully praised it repeatedly.
“Congratulations, husband!”
Lu Miaoyun, witnessing this scene, was also full of joy, her beautiful eyes shimmering with delight.
“Whew!”
Lu Changsheng, also somewhat ‘exhausted,’ exhaled deeply, a surprised and happy smile appearing on his face as he turned to the Fourth Elder and said, “All thanks to Grandma’s teaching and guidance.”
“Changsheng, you don’t need to be modest. In drawing Superior Grade Talismans, you’re only one step away from success,” the Fourth Elder said with gratification and joy.
Then, picking up the talisman and gently touching it, she voiced, “Changsheng, you were still not precise enough with the Spiritual Power in these several parts, leading to a somewhat weak Spiritual Mechanism afterward.”
“However, now that you have entered the door, Grandma believes that as long as you familiarize and practice more, you will be able to fully master it!”
The Fourth Elder continued pointing out places where problems lay.
“Yes, Grandma,”
Lu Changsheng nodded. This, of course, was intentional on his part.
To make the talisman appear as though it was barely a success due to luck.
He did not continue drawing proficiently.
After all, the image he portrayed to the outside was that he had only recently broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refinement.
Creating two Superior Grade Talismans was about enough.
At this moment,
the housekeeper, Granny Zizhu, arrived in the hall with Lu Bo.
“Changsheng, the Family Head wants you to come with me to the family ancestral hall,” Lu Bo hurriedly said upon seeing Lu Changsheng.
“The family ancestral hall? All right,”
Lu Changsheng, hearing this, immediately knew it had to do with Lu Miaoyang.
He hadn’t expected it to be so soon; he thought it would be tomorrow or the day after.
However, upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder frowned and said, “Why would you go to the family ancestral hall?”
Although Lu Changsheng’s issue with Lu Miaoyang was to be dealt with by family rules,
it shouldn’t have escalated to involve the family ancestral hall.
“Alas, Young Master Yang suddenly ran inside the ancestral hall, hugging his parents’ memorial tablets and wailing that Changsheng was trying to kill him, insisting that the Family Head handle the matter publicly in the hall,”
With a deep sigh and a sense of helplessness, Lu Bo explained.
“What a piece of work!”
Lu Changsheng also couldn’t help being startled upon hearing this.
He was speechless in his mind,
finding Lu Miaoyang to be quite a character,
having directly run to the Lu Family ancestral hall and clung to his parents’ memorial tablets to lament.
No wonder Lu Miaoyang was usually so arrogant in the Lu Family.
With such a move, who could stand against him?
“Let’s go, Changsheng. Grandma will accompany you there,”
the Fourth Elder, at this moment, was also rather speechless,
unsure how to comment on Lu Miaoyang’s actions.
