With a since I'm already here mindset, Yunxi stepped onto the suspension bridge for the second time and once again appeared before an ancient azure stone gate. This time, a talisman brush was carved into the gate. Without anyone needing to tell her, Yunxi knew this was an inheritance of talisman crafting. With practiced ease, she waved open the stone gate and slipped inside.
After entering, Yunxi saw a long table carved from a single piece of immortal stone. On it stood a black brush rack, from which five talisman brushes hung side by side. Beside the rack was a jade bottle filled with ink for drawing talismans.
Just then, a phantom appeared. There was no need to guess that it was a senior who would impart the art of talisman crafting. Yunxi clasped her hands in a salute with familiar ease. Before she could introduce herself, the phantom said in mild surprise:
"Why is it you?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yunxi finally looked up. It was the very same expert who had taught her the Nine Revolutions Alchemy before. She smiled faintly and said:
"Senior, it seems we are truly fated. Back then, in order to earn cultivation resources, I learned talisman crafting, the easiest art to get started in. Through trading and selling talismans, I earned my first batch of cultivation resources.
"However, I never took the examination for a talisman master rank. After ascending this time, I also never came across a proper talisman-crafting inheritance. I have only gained a general understanding of some commonly used immortal talismans."
The phantom gave a light cough and said:
"In that case, draw a basic talisman for me to see. If it is satisfactory, I will naturally impart to you the art of high-grade talisman crafting."
"Yes."
Yunxi respectfully agreed.
