    Chapter 57: Rune-making class with Missy!

    Before long, the Fourth Elder came to the courtyard.

    Her ebony hair with silver threads was elegantly coiled up, and she was dressed in a greenish-brown dress, the whole person looked like a dignified and graceful noblewoman.

    “Grandma.”

    “Auntie.”

    Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao immediately arched their hands towards the Fourth Elder and bowed.

    “There’s no need to be polite, sit down all of you.”

    The Fourth Elder’s face was gentle and kind as he waved his hand.

    Then he looked at the two of them and said, “Changsheng, Myriad Song, both of you draw the talismans that you’ve been practicing lately and show them to me.”

    The two of them sniffed and both took out their talisman making tools and began to draw talismans.

    Lu Changsheng drew the same Fire Cloud Talisman that he had revealed at the beginning.

    After all, when he had first revealed himself as a first-order mid-grade talisman master, his success rate was only one or two percent, so naturally, he still had to practice.

    The Fourth Elder looked at the two of them drawing talismans and saw Lu Changsheng drawing the Fire Cloud Talisman with a single stroke and a steady wrist, revealing a few moments of surprise.

    Subsequently, under the Fourth Elder’s watchful eyes, Lu Changsheng successfully drew the Fire Cloud Talisman.

    “Changsheng, now that you’re drawing the Fire Cloud Talisman, you should have a 60% to 70% success rate, right?”

    After the Fourth Elder watched Lu Changsheng draw the Fire Cloud Talisman, a few moments of surprise surfaced on his face and he said in a praising voice.

    When Lu Miaoge, who was drawing talismans on the side, heard this, her white wrist couldn’t help but shake, causing the talisman she was drawing to fail, and then her beautiful eyes looked towards Lu Changsheng.

    The face as clear and beautiful as snow revealed a look of surprise.

    She did know that Lu Changsheng had become a first rank mid-grade talisman master two months ago.

    It was only in the past two months that the first-order medium-grade Fire Cloud Talisman had reached a 60% to 70% rate of formation.

    This talisman making talent was simply terrifying!

    She couldn’t help but think of three years ago, when Lu Changsheng had become an apprentice in talisman making, and she had accompanied Uncle Fu to go and test Lu Changsheng.

    At that time, she could tell that Lu Changsheng’s talent for talisman making was higher than her own.

    But how could she not expect that Lu Changsheng’s talent for talisman making was even higher than she had imagined, so much higher!

    With no guidance, he became a mid-grade talisman master in more than three years!

    Now under the guidance of the Fourth Elder, the Fire Cloud Talisman, which originally only had a 20% success rate, had increased its success rate to 60% or 70% in a month’s time!

    This progress is simply horrendous!

    Even if she had always been as light-hearted as water, and had already begun to try to draw top-grade talismans and impact top-grade talisman masters, at this moment, in front of Lu Changsheng, she couldn’t help but give birth to a few moments of loss, a sense of frustration.

    She pursed her lips and collected the loss and frustration in her heart as she took out a piece of talisman paper to draw the talisman again.

    “Thanks to Grandma’s guidance last time, I’ve been practicing hard at home for a while now, so I’ve got this rate of becoming a talisman.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

    He didn’t realize that his behavior had frustrated Lu Miaogang.

    This time, the display of the Fire Cloud Talisman’s talent was something he had thought about before and was part of the plan.

    Under the guise of the Fourth Elder’s guidance and teaching, he accelerated the display of his talent in talisman making.

    “Good, good, good, Grandma can see that you don’t have much of a problem anymore with the Fire Cloud Charm.”

    “It’s just that the spiritual energy isn’t smooth enough at the outline of the runic lines during the turning process.”

    “But in this regard, as long as you usually practice and become more skillful.”

    Hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, the Fourth Elder said in a chorus of praise.

    She continued towards Lu Changsheng, “Then today, Grandma will teach you to draw the Wind Walking Talisman.”

    The Wind Walking Talisman and the Fire Cloud Talisman were the same as the First Order Medium Grade Talisman.

    The difficulty, if any, will be a bit higher compared to the Fire Cloud Charm.

    “Thanks, Grandma.”

    Lu Changsheng said in a respectful voice.

    He didn’t care about what talismans he learned or practiced, and he completely listened to the Fourth Elder’s arrangements.

    One was that he didn’t care, and on the other hand, this was also the condition of the Lu Family Spirit Deed in the first place.

    He had to follow the Lu Family’s arrangement to come and learn to practice the appropriate talismans.

    “The wind talisman is different from the fire cloud talisman, and emphasizes the word soft, not only should the strokes be soft as well, but the spirit power output should be soft as well, with a sense of mellowness.”

    “And there’s a key thing about the Windwalking Talisman, which is that the strokes should be light and smooth while the spiritual energy is released in a continuous ‘flick’ of output each time it surfaces a turn”

    The Fourth Elder explained the main points of the Wind Walking Talisman to Lu Changsheng.

    He then drew a windwalking talisman on the spot, allowing Lu Changsheng to sense the fluctuation of spiritual energy on it and draw against the above talisman lines.

    “Yes, Grandma.”

    Seeing this, Lu Changsheng nodded, first picking up a pile of white paper from the table and familiarizing himself with the outline of the talismanic lines on it.

    Generally when drawing a new talisman, one would first be on white paper, familiarizing oneself with the talisman line outlining and drawing method before attempting to make a talisman with talisman paper.

    It would be basically a waste to start practicing with talisman paper.

    For this is the time of certain failure.

    Of course, there were exceptions for hangers-on like Lu Changsheng.

    However, in front of the Fourth Elder, he naturally still acted like an honest and learning posture model.

    Afterward, the Fourth Elder looked at Lu Miaogue who was making talismans and saw that Lu Miaogue’s talisman had failed to be drawn again.

    Knowing that Lu Miaogao was still unfamiliar with the talisman being drawn, she spoke out to narrate the main points.

    “Miaoge, this Golden Shield Talisman is about rigidity and softness, the strokes should be soft with rigidity, but the spirit power output should also be rigid and powerful.”

    “When you fall in this first stroke, your strokes and spiritual power should be like iron wrapped in sheep, when you turn in the first folded rune line, you need to bring more ‘retracting’ intention, and your spiritual power needs to be ‘releasing’ intention after the ninth fold, then you need to have unceasing output of spiritual power “

    This kind of talisman making, with the higher grade of the talisman, the more difficult and complicated it becomes.

    The start and finish, one stroke, all have a very strict specification.

    The light of the pen on a large number of techniques to pay attention to, what just powerful, just in the soft, soft with just, just and soft and so on, very complex.

    Like the Golden Light Shield Talisman that Lu Miaogao was drawing, it belonged to the first-order upper-grade talisman and was very complicated, and counted as a bump in the road from the middle-grade talisman.

    “Yes, Fourth Aunt.”

    Lu Miaogao sniffed and nodded, her delicate face revealing a look of concentration as she continued to bend down to draw the talisman.

    But halfway through the drawing, green smoke came out of the talisman paper again and it failed.

    “Miaoge, when you were outlining the rune lines, your strokes were too forceful and collided with your spiritual energy, so you failed.”

    “Here, you feel my spiritual energy, the force.”

    The Fourth Elder spoke out to point out the error.

    Immediately, he held Lu Miaogao’s palm and slowly drew the Golden Light Shield Talisman.

    Lu Changsheng also looked towards this side.

    He could see that the Fourth Elder’s level of talisman making was really good.

    At least it was very familiar with the Golden Shroud Charm.

    Otherwise, there was no way to bring someone to draw talismans in this way.

    “Myoga, you borrow this feeling and try again.”

    The Fourth Elder brought Lu Miaogao to finish drawing the Golden Light Shield Talisman before speaking out.

    “Yes, Auntie.”

    Lu Miaogao nodded gently before attempting to draw again.

    But again, it fails at the halfway point of the drawing step.

    Seeing this scene, the Fourth Elder didn’t say anything.

    It just came out as an encouragement, “It’s fine, just practice and familiarize yourself with it a few more times.”

    For a Runemaster, this is quite normal.

    If one succeeded a few times casually, then becoming a talisman master wouldn’t be so difficult.

    After a while, the Fourth Elder saw that Lu Changsheng was almost familiar with the drawing of the Wind Walking Talisman, and turned towards Lu Changsheng and said, “Come on, Changsheng, you also draw the Wind Walking Talisman for me to see.”

    “Yes, Grandma.”

    Lu Changsheng sniffed, and immediately began to manifest drawing the Wind Walking Talisman as well.

    But it also failed at about one-fifth of the way through.

    He was a genius in performance, but not a demonic pervert.

    If it’s done once or twice, it’s amazingly easy to get into trouble.

    “Your hand is steady, your strokes are steady, but there was a bit of a rush in the spirit just now.”

    “In this step, your hand should carry a few ‘loose’ intentions, and your spiritual energy should gently ‘wrap’ around the strokes”

    “Here, you feel my spiritual energy, the force.”

    The Fourth Elder watched Lu Changsheng finish drawing and then opened his mouth.

    Spinning around, he also stepped forward, also holding Lu Changsheng’s palm, leading him to slowly draw the Wind Walking Talisman stroke by stroke.

    Although there is a man and woman, but Lu Changsheng in her eyes is just a descendant, his own granddaughter in law, naturally will not talk about these things, think in this direction.

    During this process, Lu Changsheng was able to clearly experience the force and flow of spiritual energy coming from the Fourth Elder’s palm through the touch on it.

    “At this step, the hand should be ‘loose’, the spiritual energy should be ‘wrapped’ around the strokes with a few ‘flicks’, and the wrist lightly ‘shaking’, and finally connect down in a single breath.”

    “You try again.”

    The Fourth Elder said to Lu Changsheng in a kind tone, then loosened his palms.

    “Okay Grandma.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded, but didn’t start drawing straight away.

    Instead, he took out a wine gourd from his storage bag and took a sip of the liquor before continuing to draw.

    Inside is White Jade Hundred Flowers Wine, which has the effect of restoring spiritual energy, clearing the mind and calming the spirit, which is helpful for him to make talismans.

    He naturally didn’t need this drink to help clear his mind, but he had to have it to help restore his spiritual energy.

    In response, the Fourth Elder didn’t say anything.

    She also knew that Lu Changsheng was only at the third level of qi cultivation and could not draw many first-order mid-grade talismans, and needed to rely on spirit wine to restore his spiritual energy.

    Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of the Fourth Elder, Lu Changsheng drew almost to a quarter before failing.

    “Your spiritual energy did not wrap the brushstrokes and coalesce in a single point, so try more.”

    The Fourth Elder commented after reading it.

    Just like this, under the Fourth Elder’s teaching, a morning passed.

    This morning, neither Lu Changsheng nor Lu Miaogao had succeeded in drawing a new talisman.

    But it is also considered for this kind of talisman introductory, grasped the essence of it, the next is to go back to more familiar, more practice.
