Talisman Completed

"I am, after all, a registered Grade 1 Appraiser of the Immortal Sect sect. Although this White Jade Bell is relatively obscure, as long as it is still within the first-level category, completing the third-level appraisal should not be a problem."

Wu Wan spoke with great confidence, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wu Wan did not ask about the origin of the Magic Artifact.

"The price is a bit on the expensive side."

At this point, Wu Wan seemed afraid that Chen Mobai would misunderstand, so he immediately explained.

"Because it involves Magic Artifact related to sound, I need to look up some information and may need to consult a senior in the industry. I will definitely have to give a token of appreciation. But don't worry, Brother Chen, it won't exceed 8,000 Merit Points at most."

Speaking of the Dao of Sound, Chen Mobai thought of Bian Yiqing, who was a grandmaster in this field. However, he certainly wouldn't dare to take this Magic Artifact to Bian Yiqing for appraisal.

Wu Wan had collaborated with Chen Mobai several times, and even though the first impression wasn't good, Chen Mobai was quite satisfied with the subsequent collaborations.

However, the appraisal fee of 8,000 Merit Points still felt a bit expensive to him, even though Chen Mobai currently had over 100,000 Merit Points in his account.

However, thinking of it as if I had used 8,000 Merit Points to buy this first-grade superior bell magic Magic Artifact made me feel much better.

"As long as Master Wu can complete the third-level appraisal, we'll go with the price you mentioned."

"Okay, let's sign a standard contract first."

The third level of identification requires deducing the methods used in the ritual and the process itself, which cannot be completed in a short time.

Wu Wan needs to bring the White Jade Bell back, and he may need to use specialized equipment.

In response to this situation, the Immortal Sect have standardized contracts to prevent Treasure Appraiser from becoming greedy upon seeing the preciousness of Magic Artifact, either by taking them away and disappearing, or by replacing them with fakes.

Chen Mobai believed that Wu Wan would definitely not do such a thing, not because he knew Wu Wan's character, but because if such a thing happened, the Treasure Appraiser's registration certificate would be revoked directly.

While the White Jade Bell may be quite valuable, it certainly can't compare to the Grade 1 Appraiser Certificate that Wu Wan worked so hard to obtain.

Even if his gold shop went bankrupt, Wu Wan, with this certificate, could still find work outside, and many Artifact Refining shops would be vying for him with 10,000 Merit Points a month.

After the two signed, Wu Wan affixed his professional seal, attached a photo of the Magic Artifact, and then uploaded the standard contract to the Immortal Sect Network for backup.

"At most ten days."

After receiving the deposit from Chen Mobai, Wu Wan patted his chest and made a guarantee.

"By the way, Brother Chen, are you free at noon? I invited Luan Jingsheng to lunch, why don't we join each other?"

Luan Jingsheng was the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy student who sold the Five Transformations Umbrella to Chen Mobai last time. He was also Wu Wan's customer. Wu Wan took a large cut from the last deal. Since he was here, he naturally wanted to reconnect with Wu Wan.

"That's fine. I happen to have some questions about Talisman and would like to ask an expert for advice."

Chen Mobai originally wanted to refuse, but he thought of his experience a few days ago when he could not draw talismans successfully no matter what he tried, and felt that he could not work behind closed doors.

He also asked Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu, but the former was currently focused on Array Formation, and the latter was only thinking about Foundation Establishment. Although they knew a little about Talisman, they could not help Chen Mobai.

The Student Union President from the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy was a master of talisman drawing, but Chen Mobai wasn't familiar with him. Chan Si wanted to introduce them, but the former was a reclusive madman who hadn't come out of his Cave Mansion since the entrance exam.

Since Luan Jingsheng was able to refine the Five Transformations Umbrella Talisman Artifact, it is evident that his skill in Talisman is not low.

Chen Mobai had completely forgotten about him. If Wu Wan hadn't mentioned him today, he really wouldn't have thought that there was still an acquaintance in the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy with whom he could seek advice.

"Oh, with your talent, how could you keep failing? It must be an extremely complex and difficult Talisman draw?"

In a small restaurant on the campus of the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy, Luan Jingsheng was very surprised to see Chen Mobai coming with Wu Wan.

Although he didn't watch the final round of the last entrance exam, he easily learned about Chen Mobai, the "Magic Combat Victor" who was personally praised by the True Person Scarlet Robe, from the subsequent flood of posts on his WeChat Moments.

Being able to enter Four Great Dao Academies is basically considered a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator. If things go smoothly in the future, becoming the second True Person Scarlet Robe and returning home in glory is not impossible.

Therefore, Luan Jingsheng was somewhat surprised that a genius like Chen Mobai would come to ask him for advice on drawing talismans.

"Not at all, I only have a little talent in Spell Duel. As for the art of talisman drawing, I haven't even entered the threshold yet. I still need your guidance, Brother Luan."

Chen Mobai treated everyone to the meal, and Luan Jingsheng was very generous. After the meal, he took Chen Mobai directly to a large classroom at the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy that was dedicated to drawing talismans.

Having saved money on a meal and even gotten a free meal, Wu Wan left with a smile, as he was busy appraising the White Jade Bell.

"Draw it once so I can see it."

Chen Mobai obediently put away the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone he had brought, and then began to write.

After finishing the drawing, I infused it with spiritual power.

"Pfft!" It failed again.

He looked at Luan Jingsheng with an embarrassed expression, but the latter was thinking seriously. He looked at the drawing method of the Revival Talisman provided by Chen Mobai and drew it himself.

Luan Jingsheng paused halfway through the drawing.

Then he continued drawing, but the final product was also a failure.

But Luan Jingsheng's expression did not change. He took out another Talisman Paper and then picked up his brush again.

This time it was done in one go, without any pauses.

Chen Mobai looked admiring. He knew without even trying that the Revival Talisman had been successfully drawn.

"That's a bit strange."

But after finishing the drawing, Luan Jingsheng frowned slightly.

"What's strange about it? Didn't we succeed?"

"The turns in the strokes here are too sharp; there are clearly better techniques for turning the brush."

As Chen Mobai stared wide-eyed in disbelief, Luan Jingsheng dipped his brush in ink and drew the Revival Talisman again. Halfway through the drawing, the brushstroke at the point where he had paused earlier actually changed its turning point, making it more rounded and simple.

"It's much more comfortable to write like this."

After finishing the improved version of the Revival Talisman, Luan Jingsheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Try this one that I've modified."

Chen Mobai, then took the last Revival Talisman Luan Jingsheng drawn and began to imitate his handwriting.

But two more failed.

However, having someone guide you is completely different from figuring it out on your own. Just like when he switched to cultivating the True Person Scarlet Robe Pure Yang Scroll and had the guidance of the Crimson-Robed Immortal, on the third time, when Luan Jingsheng saw Chen Mobai's stiff hand movements, he couldn't help but directly grasp his wrist and guide him to feel the correct strokes.

This time it was a success.

Chen Mobai lit up with joy.

Although he failed again immediately, the next time, he finally succeeded in drawing the Revival Talisman on his own.

Picking up the Talisman infused it with spiritual power and activated it. Feeling the spiritual power in his body, which had been depleted from drawing the talisman, slowly recover, Chen Mobai couldn't help but feel joy.

We finally succeeded!
