Heavenly Script Talisman Brush Set

At the start of the new semester, Chen Mobai made a special trip to the Talisman Department because he had something to do.

When he arrived at his classroom, he heard some good news.

Zhuang Jialan has successfully completed the Foundation Establishment.

If it weren't for Chen Mobai, she and Si Guanyu would have been the leading figures in the Talisman Department.

Even so, he still demonstrated his talent.

Si Guanyu had actually comprehended the Critical Point Method, but he was a bit unlucky and failed at the moment when his Spiritual Sense Projection left his body. If he hadn't used the Critical Point Method to stop and pull it back, he would probably have been mentally scattered and his vital energy severely damaged.

Even so, it will still take him half a year to reach the Foundation Establishment.

"Congratulations, Councilor Zhuang. Squad Leader Si, don't be discouraged. With your talent, you will definitely be able to successfully Foundation Establishment this year."

After the first class of the new semester ended, Chen Mobai sat in the center of the first row. Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan came over and greeted him, the Chief of the Dao Academy.

"Thank you for your kind words, but I had originally planned with Zhuang to repair a Third Grade Ancient Talisman this semester, but now I have to postpone it."

Si Guanyu said with a wry smile that he and Zhuang Jialan had passed the Second-tier Talisman Master assessment of the Immortal Sect when they were in the fourth grade, and their next goal was naturally the Third Grade title.

Repairing ancient runes was one way for the two of them to learn and improve.

The Talisman Department contains many old, broken, and unusable high-level ancient talismans, which contain simple yet profound knowledge of Talisman Making.

Each time an ancient talisman is repaired, it represents an improvement and refinement of one's knowledge base.

Because during the restoration process, various modern Talisman knowledge is needed to fill in the missing Dao patterns and spiritual traces in the ancient talisman.

Using this method, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan improved their Talisman Making significantly and gained the ability to think independently and solve problems.

This was something that Xu Xiu, the teacher in the Talisman Department, mentioned in class, but only a handful of students in the entire class actually did it, and only two of them achieved results.

Chen Mobai was focused on improving his realm and cultivation. Although Xu Xiu had mentioned several times that he should team up with Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan to repair the ancient talisman, he readily agreed but never actually participated in the Ancient Talisman Restoration Team.

"Here's the thing, Squad Leader Si, Councilor Zhuang, I also applied for the Second-tier Talisman Master exam this year. I thought you two had been through this before, so I came here today to learn from your experience."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Mobai didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

After exchanging a glance, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan nodded and spoke.

"Squad Leader Si is still focusing on Foundation Establishment this year, so he probably won't have much time. If you have any questions about Talisman Making, Guild Leader, you can come to me directly."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

Chen Mobai was polite.

Zhuang Jialan shook her head, indicating that it would be difficult for her to repair the Third Grade Ancient Talisman on her own. Fortunately, she didn't have anything else to do while Si Guanyu Foundation Establishment, and she felt honored to be able to help Chen Mobai, the Chief of the Dao Academy, improve. As a member of the Wuqi Dao Academy, she felt very honored.

"Thank you. By the way, after you completed your Councilor Zhuang Foundation Establishment, you should have obtained Artifact Piece, right? What type of Magic Artifact do you want? As the Student Union President, I can't help you with much else, but I happen to be quite skilled in appraising Artifact Nurturing Sphere."

Chen Mobai originally wanted to give some Second Grade Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink, but felt it was a bit too tacky.

Knowing that Zhuang Jialan had just Foundation Establishment and certainly hadn't opened her Artifact Nurturing Sphere yet, he offered to help her find a suitable Magic Artifact in the Myriad Treasures Cave.

"That's wonderful! I've heard about your reputation as the top Spiritual Eye eye in the Dao Academy from the senior students who Foundation Establishment."

"It's just an empty reputation."

Chen Mobai modestly declined for a moment, and then invited Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu to have a meal in the Dining Hall.

It must be said that those who focus on studying Talisman are indeed more professional in terms of knowledge than Chen Mobai, who is half-hearted.

Zhuang Jialan guided Chen Mobai for seven days, and the latter, who had been unable to draw the Water Mirror Talisman, finally mastered the basics.

"Your two Talisman Brush made of soft rabbit hair, which absorbs a lot of ink and is suitable for round and thick dots and strokes; Wolf Hair Brush, which is stiffer and more powerful, and is suitable for those lines."

"The outline of the Water Mirror Talisman can be drawn with Wolf Hair Brush, while the mirror surface is best drawn with a rabbit hair brush. The stiff and direct lines of the Wolf Hair Brush brush can encompass the shadows and light and dark of the mirror surface."

"This Gold Paper is excellent, especially suitable for this Water Mirror Talisman. The Talisman Ink is also good; although it's not the most suitable Water Pattern Ink, it's still the best-selling standard Second Grade Talisman Ink in the Immortal Sect..."

Generally speaking, although there are many types of Talisman Paper, only a few are suitable for the Five Elements Attribute, so Chen Mobai's Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory can basically produce them all.

But Talisman Ink is different; there are all sorts of kinds. Chen Mobai isn't a very meticulous person, so he just got some of the best quality and most versatile Second Grade Talisman Ink from the factory.

"However, there are too few Talisman Brush. In addition to the two Main Talisman Brush, it would be best to purchase a set of better auxiliary Talisman Brush, even the first-tier ones will be fine. This will be of great help in the exam."

At the end of her teaching session, Zhuang Jialan offered her own opinions.

"I've used these two Talisman Brush for several years, and they feel pretty good to use. They can draw any kind of Talisman lines without any problem."

Chen Mobai looked at the two Second Grade Talisman Brush, one rabbit hair and one Wolf Hair Brush, beside him. After he Foundation Establishment, he used these two Talisman Brush to draw any kind of Talisman, any kind of spiritual pattern lines, or even to add color, and the success rate was very high.

Sky River Realm occasionally taught Zhuo Ming Talisman Making, and also let her use these two Talisman Brush. After each use, the latter would wash the two Talisman Brush clean with mountain spring water, and cherish them very much.

"You can't become a great Talisman Master without using up hundreds of pen tips."

Zhuang Jialan quoted a famous saying from the most famous Talisman Master in the immortal Immortal Sect: "There are no shortcuts to success; it is all about repeated diligent study and hard practice."

Since Chen Mobai began learning Talisman Making, he has only ever worn out one Talisman Brush, which is far from sufficient.

"I've learned a lot, Councilor Zhuang. What kind of Talisman Brush do you think would be suitable for me to buy?"

Zhuang Jialan opened the paintbrush bag hanging on her slender waist and took out her most frequently used Talisman Brush one by one.

There are Needle Tube Pen specifically for drawing fine lines, Graphite Pencil for outlining, Colored Pencil for simple coloring, and colored Color Pen filled with seven colors of ink. Of course, there are also Small Wolf Hair Brush, Goat Hair Brush, rabbit hair, Purple Hair Brush Rat Whisker Brush whisker, and so on.

Chen Mobai stared wide-eyed as Zhuang Jialan took out eighteen different Talisman Brush from a palm-sized paintbrush bag at her waist, and deeply realized that there was something wrong with his attitude towards Talisman Making.

"In my dormitory, there are another fifty or sixty Talisman Brush of different thicknesses and colors. I only brought the ones I usually use."

After Zhuang Jialan finished introducing her Talisman Brush tools one by one, Chen Mobai made a mental note of them and then asked where he could buy such a complete set of tools.

"The best ones are naturally from the Heavenly Script Academy in Weiyu Cave Heaven, but their stuff is too expensive. A complete set of seventy-two first-order Talisman Brush, encompassing various lines and colors, costs 1.08 million Merit Points. I only bought the seven most commonly used ones."

As Zhuang Jialan spoke, she pointed to the seven colored Color Pen. Due to her limited Merit Points, most of her auxiliary Talisman Brush, apart from these, were only cheap Grade 1 Low Rank Talisman Brush from miscellaneous brands that had a decent reputation.

"I understand, I'll place the order right away."

Chen Mobai nodded, his face solemn.

He finally understood why he was learning Talisman so slowly: the problem was his lack of tools.

"Mom, is there still over a million yuan in profits from Merit Points in the company account?"

After seeing Zhuang Jialan off, Chen Mobai immediately called Tang Pancui, who was now in charge of the finances of the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"In the name of the company, please buy me a set of auxiliary Talisman Brush from the Heavenly Script Academy. I only realized today after consulting with an expert that the tools I'm using are too rudimentary, which is affecting my efficiency in learning Talisman Making."

"No problem, this money should be spent by you anyway. It's fine to buy it in the company's name, since it's all for you to use. This way, you not only don't have to pay taxes, but you can also get an invoice to offset taxes."

Tang Pancui wouldn't have been so quick to spend a little bit of Merit Points from the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory's account if it were anyone else.

Only Chen Mobai, because he was taking the exam to become Second-tier Talisman Master, was going to use up all of the factory's profits from last year. Tang Pancui not only didn't skimp on the money, but also kept asking if it was enough. After buying a set of auxiliary Talisman Brush from the Heavenly Script Academy, there were still more than 500,000 Merit Points in the company account. She asked if they should buy some other tools.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai asked Zhuang Jialan if he had any other shortcomings in terms of tools. Zhuang Jialan said that everything else could be made up for with skill and hard work, but the only thing that couldn't be skimped on was the Talisman Brush. The more you wore out, the better your skill would become.

"If you don't have enough Merit Points, do what I do and buy the seven key colors first. That should be enough for drawing talismans."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Councilor Zhuang."

After receiving the definite news, Chen Mobai immediately instructed the company's finance department to place the order and process the payment.

Under Tang Pancui's personal supervision, the order was successfully placed at the Heavenly Script Academy's flagship store that same day. Since the transfer of the million Merit Points required going to the bank, she personally led the finance department to complete the transfer before leaving work.

Three days later.

When Zhuang Jialan came to the Student Union to tutor Chen Mobai again, she saw a brand new and complete "Heavenly Script Talisman Brush Set" on the table. Her rosy lips gaped open, and she was shocked.

"This... this..."

She excitedly reached out and touched each one one by one. After confirming that they were genuine, her fair cheeks turned bright red, and she was speechless.

"Councilor Zhuang, I'm not very good at using these auxiliary Talisman Brush. Could you teach me?"

"Okay, but I've only seen it online. To really master it, I need to use it myself before I can teach you."

Zhuang Jialan's emotions gradually calmed down at this point.

She lovingly touched the two Heavenly Script Talisman Brush Set she had originally planned to save up to buy, her delicate eyes, framed by her elegant glasses, looking at Chen Mobai sitting in the office chair with a strange gaze.

Is he so rich even after Foundation Establishment because he's the Student Union President president?

Just ask if you have a question. Zhuang Jialan and Chen Mobai were classmates for seven years, and she knows the latter's personality very well. He is a classmate with good character and conduct.

"Councilor Zhuang has misunderstood. Didn't I make quite a name for myself in Lesser Red Heaven last year? A Talisman factory in my hometown asked me to be their spokesperson, and thanks to local policy support..."

Chen Mobai recounted in detail how he had transferred his household registration back to the factory and obtained the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory. Zhuang Jialan listened with envy.

She doesn't have Chen Mobai's fame. Even if she moved her household registration back, she would probably only get a piece of land and some policy support at most. She wouldn't even dare to dream of getting a complete Talisman Factory.

"What is the name of your factory's online store? Will it be cheaper if I place an order?"

"Of course, just contact customer service and give them my name, and I'll make sure they take care of it."

Chen Mobai patted his chest, indicating that he would cover all your Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink for the rest of your life.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Jialan's fair cheeks flushed again. She reached out and adjusted her round-framed glasses. Her arched eyebrows and slender eyes glanced at him, and her dimples, paired with her gentle smile, revealed a captivating charm that Chen Mobai had never encountered before.

"Then forget it. I'm just going to teach you Talisman Making. There's no need for such a valuable reward."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered that he was looking for a new secretary for the Student Union after Hua Zijing graduated. Was the person in front of him suitable?

"Councilor Zhuang, would you be interested in joining the Student Union?"

Chen Mobai was too embarrassed to ask her to help him manage his trivial matters at the beginning, so he simply asked a question first.

Are there any benefits?

Asking that question means you're interested.

Chen Mobai immediately repeated the story that Zuoqiu Shi had used to deceive him. Zhuang Jialan listened attentively, and her eyes lit up slightly when she heard that she could view the Myriad Treasures Map for free.

"If you join the Student Union, you'll be one of my trusted confidants, and you'll be guaranteed at least 5 credits every year."

"After half of the credits earned by Myriad Treasures Map were handed over to the Dao Academy, the remaining credits were divided equally among all Student Union members. Last year, each person received two credits."

"I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as I'm still president, you'll definitely get 7 extra credits every year."

Chen Mobai's words made Zhuang Jialan a little tempted, after all, she was very clear about the benefits of academic credits.

Seven credits were nothing to Chen Mobai, but for her, they were almost equivalent to the results of a year and a half of hard study. Her success in Foundation Establishment and her current achievements in Talisman Making making were due to the fact that she exchanged many resources at the Dao Academy using her credits.

"I don't think I'll be too busy. My main goal is to improve my Talisman Making skills."

"Don't worry, I personally recruited you, so you're one of my trusted confidants. Who would dare assign you any tasks? You just need to come and help me with some simple paperwork as a token gesture."

Chen Mobai wasn't quite sure if Zhuang Jialan could handle Hua Zijing's job, so he didn't make things clear. He planned to assign her some simple tasks after she joined the Student Union.

If it can be handled well, then continue training.

If her abilities are average, consider it payment for her tutoring; let her remain a nobody in the Student Union.

"Let's draw the talisman first. I'll think about joining the Student Union when I get back."

Although Zhuang Jialan was tempted, she didn't lose her head.

Chen Mobai nodded and took out a failed Vacuum Talisman he had drawn the night before, humbly seeking advice.
