Chapter 1285: Deity-Inviting Talisman

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Qiao Mu perused the contents of the jade slip again, she obtained a piece of information.
After the eighth jade slip got activated, she should be able to learn black-rank talismans. Another thing she learned was that she would be able to produce jade talismans after entering the ranks of black-level talisman practitioners.
Producing jade talismans signified an extreme soar in the great talisman practitioner’s cultivation state.
Compared to ebony talismans, the talisman energy in jade talismans was probably tripled.
A minute hint of excitement showed on the little fellow’s face. Gripping her gold-beaded talisman pen, she took out two ebony tablets and started learning how to draw deity-inviting talismans.
That demonstration talisman was drawn so well. Speaking of which, she wondered who it was that was so considerate to draw a demonstration talisman for her each time she learned a new talisman.
Qiao Mu had immersed herself in drawing the new talisman.
After becoming a yellow-level talisman practitioner, the difficulty of drawing a deity-inviting talisman had increased significantly compared to drawing the high-rank and mid-rank talismans from before.
She needed to concentrate her entire attention on the task.
Soon, she entered a total state of mindlessness.
Even when Wei Ziqin, Qiao Lin, Mo Lian, and the others came to check up on her one after another, she was totally unaware and turned a deaf ear to her surroundings, as if she was in an entirely vacuum-sealed environment.
Drawing this deity-inviting talisman took until late into the night.
It was only after she had failed no less than thirty times that Qiao Mu finally drew a successful deity-inviting talisman near dawn. She then exhaled a long sigh.
When she compared the deity-inviting talisman she had drawn with the demonstration talisman, she felt that there were still a lot of inadequacies.
The senior that had drawn this deity-inviting talisman was clearly more practiced than her.
Although she had started getting more familiar with the talisman after failing time and again, she still felt disdain for herself after making this comparison.
Forget it, she’d just leave it at this for today.
Qiao Mu put away the two deity-inviting talismans and rubbed her sunken belly. Her nose suddenly wrinkled, seeming to have sniffed the fragrant smell of green onions wafting over.
“Here, a bowl of piping hot mini wontons.” A slender hand passed a big blue-and-white porcelain bowl to her.
Looking up, Qiao Mu saw that guy bending toward her with a grin.
After taking that steaming bowl of mini wontons into her hands, Qiao Mu cast him a glance and took a bite before asking, “When did you come.”
“Sigh, I’ve been here for more than half the day. It’s just that a certain person had been so engrossed in drawing talismans that she completely ignored everything happening outside. Hanging her hubby out to dry, not concerned in the least.”
Qiao Mu felt her stomach warm up after drinking two gulps of soup, and her gleaming pair of large eyes curved in delight.
“It’s yummy.”
“But of course, this is not just any simple bowl of mini wontons.”
“Is there anything special about it?” Besides the delicious flavor, the wontons were perfectly bite-sized. So tasty.
On the other end, the man winked at her. “Hubby had put all his love into it while cooking. Can’t you savor it?”
Qiao Mu pursed her small lips as she rolled her eyes at him. “Always so honey-mouthed.”
Mo Lian chuckled as he stroked her head. “Qiaoqiao, I came to tell you that I need to set out for Jiaozhong Defensive Base at dawn. I estimate that it will take me ten days or so to return to the capital.”
Qiao Mu paused her eating. “Why are you going?”
Mo Lian reassured with a smile, “It’s nothing big, just a routine inspection.”
“Liar.” Qiao Mu puffed out her small cheeks and protested in a huff, “Tell me the truth.”
She wasn’t dumb. It was such a poor excuse!
