"Where did you get the method for drawing these Talisman?"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Luan Jingsheng's slightly solemn expression, Chen Mobai felt a little uneasy, thinking that he had realized that these Talisman were not from the Immortal Sect.

"I felt something was off about that ' Revival Talisman ' before. It could have been drawn more simply and easily, but the strokes had too many twists and turns. I initially thought it was a printing error in the textbook you received."

"But now we see these four pictures that are clearly a set. One of the strokes in each picture has been changed. It's not that the strokes have been changed into mistakes, but the failure rate of drawing them after the changes is very high, making it more difficult for people who practice drawing by looking at these teaching materials to learn."

"For someone like me who has already reached the first level of Talisman Master, it's okay. I can force myself to draw it based on my usual learning skills. But if a beginner tries to follow the instructions in this textbook, it will probably take at least a year and a half to get started."

After hearing Luan Jingsheng's words, Chen Mobai was stunned.

He recalled how hard he had practiced every day in Green Mountain Village, but had not succeeded in drawing a single picture. He had initially thought that he did not have the talent for it, and his confidence had been shaken.

I never expected it to be like this.

The book "Divine Wood Sect Talisman Crafting Insights" that he obtained from South Stream Market had actually been tampered with. All five methods for drawing life talismans had been altered. This would not only waste the time of Rogue Cultivator who wanted to learn from it, but might also undermine the confidence of some Rogue Cultivator who wanted to join the Divine Wood Sect.

I wonder if Lu Shu, who gave him this book, knew this.

If he knew, then it means that Chen Mobai was too naive and failed to see that this guy was a truly wicked and treacherous person.

Chen Mobai instinctively believed that Lu Shu was unaware of this and had probably been deceived.

However, when he thought about the infighting among the Rogue Cultivator in the Sky River Realm, he felt that perhaps he had misjudged them.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Chen Mobai finally managed to calm himself down using the "Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique".

"Thank you, Brother Luan. I found these five Talisman drawing books at a street stall. They looked quite ancient, and I thought I had struck gold. I never expected this..."

Chen Mobai dared not tell Luan Jingsheng the truth, and could only sigh and make up a reason that the latter would believe.

"I'll try to draw it and correct the strokes for you. Come see me tomorrow."

Luan Jingsheng was also an upright person, and since Chen Mobai had approached him, he was happy to help.

Thank you.

In response, Chen Mobai could only thank him again and then treat him to a meal.

"If you want to learn Talisman in the future, you will still need to buy formal textbooks."

"I still have the three basic Talisman books published by the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy. I can give you the ones you need."

"It's best to buy fewer of these 'three-no' products (no ISBN, no production date, no manufacturer) from street stalls in the future. They're mostly fake and are designed to scam students who think they've found a bargain."

After several interactions, Luan Jingsheng also came to regard Chen Mobai as a friend, and during meals, he would give him heartfelt advice.

"Brother Luan Possessing the Dao. I will never buy it again."

As Chen Mobai spoke, he hesitated, but in the end he couldn't help but take out the notes on refining the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman that Qi Rui had given him, and ask Luan Jingsheng to take a look.

I really don't dare to trust the cultivators of the Sky River Realm too much anymore.

"Actually, the reason I trusted that stall owner was because I really found some good stuff."

"The ' Crimson Flame Three Sword Talisman ' that I used to Spell Duel the ' Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman ' was bought from that street stall. It also came with a Talisman tutorial."

"Could you take another look at this and see if there are any problems?"

Upon hearing this, Luan Jingsheng looked surprised. He had seen the magnificent scene of the "Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman" and the "Crimson Flame Three Sword Talisman" clashing on the arena in his WeChat Moments.

Unexpectedly, it was found by Chen Mobai at a street stall.

His previously nonchalant attitude instantly became serious, and he picked up his phone to look at the screenshots of the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman crafting notes that Chen Mobai.

"Judging from the strokes, this first-grade high-level Talisman is not as abrupt as the previous five. However, whether there is a problem or not, we will only know after we draw it ourselves."

"But my skill level is limited. I have only mastered three first-grade high-level Talisman. If I want to learn this Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, I'm afraid I will need to concentrate for at least a month."

"If you're not in a hurry, I'll try to draw it for you once I've finished refining another Talisman Artifact."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately shook his head.

"How can I take up so much of your time? With my skill level, it would take me at least one or two years of basic practice to draw this Crimson Flame Sword Talisman. You can figure it out on your own by then."

Luan Jingsheng nodded in agreement.

He cultivates Dual Cultivation Talisman Artifact and artifacts, but he focuses more on Artifact Refining.

For him, truly understanding and mastering the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman would be a waste of time.

The next day, Chen Mobai personally visited Luan Jingsheng and obtained the remaining four types of life symbols, which he had revised and whose strokes were now correct. The latter even carefully drew one of each type, so that Chen could refer to it if he didn't understand.

Chen Mobai was very touched, but he was too embarrassed to give the Merit Points, so he could only give him two tubes of first-grade high-quality Qi Replenishing Spirit Water.

Luan Jingsheng initially refused, but after repeated declines, he reluctantly accepted it.

When Chen Mobai left, he insisted on giving him three basic Talisman books filled with his own annotations.

With the correct sample as a reference.

Chen Mobai's Talisman Making skills immediately improved, and he successfully drew all five of the most basic life-giving talismans of the Divine Wood Sect within just ten days.

He finally realized that he actually had some talent in Talisman Making, and the reason he had failed so many times before was entirely because he had been misled by the wrong teaching materials.

It can only be said that the waters of the Sky River Realm are too deep, and he has suffered too few losses.

However, after this incident, Chen Mobai finally understood why the shops opened by the Great Sect in the markets of the Sky River Realm were so expensive.

At least, they will guarantee that what they sell is correct.

If you buy a cultivation technique with the same name but at a lower price at a stall, it might be a trick released by someone with ulterior motives who changed a few key sentences to harm independent Rogue Cultivator.

The Sky River Realm is indeed fraught with danger.

Chen Mobai from his mistake and was glad that he hadn't practiced the "Black Water Technique," otherwise he might have been tricked.

Just as he was preparing to go to Green Light Island to retrieve his belongings again, Wu Wan arrived at his door, his face beaming.

The ritualistic process of the "White Jade Bell" was successfully reversed.
