Innocent Words Are Most Unrestrained, Paper Figurine Technique Matures, Soldier Puppet Technique
The next day, and for the next few days, Qin Wangchuan's stall still appeared on time under the Old Scholar Tree.
His technique for Draw Talismans became increasingly refined and skillful. With the flow of cinnabar from his fingertips, the talismans were formed naturally, imbued with spiritual light.
The stalls no longer only offer the old three items: refreshing breeze, dust-repelling talismans, and Fire Talisman.
Gradually, more types of talismans appeared, such as "Water Condensing Talisman," "Light Gathering Talisman," and "Little Vajra Talisman."
They can even create unique, one-time-use talismans on-site based on the customer's specific needs.
Although the price is high, it has attracted some cultivators with special needs.
In less than a month, I've already achieved near financial freedom.
Qin Wangchuan also did not forget his original intention in cultivating the Dao of Talisman Dao —to find Talisman Paper that could bear the power of Paper Figurine.
After numerous attempts and failures, he finally succeeded in developing a special type of Talisman Paper with exceptionally tough texture and extremely strong spiritual bearing capacity.
This Talisman Paper can temporarily withstand the 30% of the power he infuses into the Paper Figurine while he is in his "Spirit Power Furnace" state, without dissipating.
However, as he had predicted, the bottleneck soon appeared.
This is ultimately just a Spirit Talisman Paper inscribed with Spiritual Power.
It was not the Heavenly Talisman Paper of the Zhao Clan Heavenly Talisman.
The basic materials and structure determine the upper limit of Paper Figurine.
Even with the infusion of greater power, they cannot unleash their full potential beyond their limits; instead, they risk collapsing.
On this day, he was deep in thought, staring at a Paper Figurine figure whose aura had reached its saturation point but could no longer be enhanced. His fingers were unconsciously tapping on the table.
Pang Jie came to his stall as usual.
Just as Qin Wangchuan had predicted, the old man "accidentally" passed by Pang Jie's dilapidated courtyard on a moonlit night and was "astonished" to discover his "unpolished talent."
He had already taken him as a disciple and begun to teach him the basic techniques.
Pang Jie was extremely respectful to his master and practiced diligently, but whenever he had free time, he would still go to Qin Wangchuan's stall to help clean up or watch him Draw Talismans intently.
At this moment, Qin Wangchuan sat quietly on the chair, his gaze fixed intently ahead—
There, a Paper Figurine Warrior was leaping through the air, practicing a set of exquisite boxing techniques.
The force of the punch was deafening; with a single blow, a huge rock on a distant mountain exploded out of thin air.
But that's far from enough.
As Spiritual Power continued to be injected.
Suddenly, with a "rip," the Paper Figurine's right arm tore apart due to the excessive force of the attack, and it fell to the ground, turning into shredded paper.
Although he had guessed it, Qin Wangchuan still frowned.
Pang Jie couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Little Immortal, have you encountered some difficulties?"
Qin Wangchuan didn't look at him; his gaze remained fixed on the Paper Figurine. He casually remarked, "Hmm, it's reached its limit; its power can't be increased any further."
Pang Jie didn't understand any of this, and simply nodded in agreement.
He gazed at the radiant Paper Figurine, tilting his head, and in a hazy moment, a simple, direct thought popped into his head, and he blurted out:
"Little Immortal, where are its weapons and Law Treasure?"
As soon as he said it, Qin Wangchuan's fingers, which were tapping the table, suddenly stopped!
He was struck as if by an invisible bolt of lightning, and suddenly froze on the spot!
"Arms...?"
Pang Jie tilted his head and said, "Yeah!"
"Both humans and cultivators possess weapons Law Treasure; Paper Figurine are also human beings."
"Shouldn't they have weapons too?"
Why are there no weapons?
Why are there no weapons?
His focus has always been on how to improve the Paper Figurine's "inherent" strength, spiritual path capacity, and power ceiling.
But I never considered why the Paper Figurine itself must bear all the power output?
This is like a Martial Practitioner who only thinks about how to hone his physical body and fists to the extreme, but never thinks about... being able to pick up a divine Sharp Weapon!
"Vessel... weapon... external armor... it can even mount Third Sister's Spirit Light Cannon onto the Paper Figurine!"
Qin Wangchuan's deep eyes suddenly saw countless possibilities.
Countless thoughts, runes, and array structures are born, collide, and recombine within it!
The bottleneck isn't that the Paper Figurine itself can't become stronger, but that his thinking is limited!
Paper Figurine can serve as the "source" and "control core" of power, while the "outlet" and "amplifier" of power can be entirely externally contained!
He suddenly looked at the specially made Talisman Paper on the stall, capable of withstanding massive amounts of Spiritual Power. A completely new and enlightened path unfolded before him!
"Haha... hahaha!" Qin Wangchuan suddenly chuckled, his laughter filled with the exhilaration of discovering a new world and self-deprecation.
"I see, everyone we meet has a reason."
"Cause and effect are waiting for me here."
"Pang Jie, you really are..."
He looked at the bewildered boy, his eyes smiling, and asked, "Want to learn talismans?"
"Paper Figurine... no... Soldier Puppet Technique."
Pang Jie was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, his mouth opened slightly, and he froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.
"R-really?" The boy's voice trembled, filled with disbelief and surprise, and his eyes instantly reddened.
He blinked hard, afraid he had misheard, and also afraid of embarrassing himself by crying.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he hurriedly turned around. "I... I'll go ask my master first."
He was so quick to move that he almost tripped over himself.
The old man who had been feigning sleep and spying in the distance suddenly opened his eyes and looked in Qin Wangchuan's direction, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
He could naturally sense it, just a moment ago.
The boy's aura underwent a dramatic change; a deeper and more dangerous presence was brewing.
"... This child's comprehension is simply terrifying..." the old man murmured to himself, feeling both delighted and regretful.
To my surprise, I encountered such an extraordinary young man.
Unfortunately... it's fucking too overpowered!
Even if I wanted to, how could I accept their offer?
Pang Jie practically scrambled to the old man's stall and incoherently recounted what had happened.
As the old man in the gray robe listened, the wrinkles on his face seemed to smooth out, and a complex and unfathomable light flashed in his eyes, ultimately turning into a long sigh and a wave of his sleeve:
"Go, go, this is your destiny."
He thought to himself: Being able to observe such methods up close is already an incredible fortuitous opportunity for Pang Jie.
Perhaps even for oneself, there are some benefits?
Having received his master's approval, Pang Jie practically flew back, his face flushed with excitement, and was about to perform the formal apprenticeship Grand Gift before Qing Wangchuan.
"No need." Qin Wangchuan lightly raised his fingertips, and an invisible force supported Pang Jie's kneeling figure. "I am not your master, I am merely repaying this karmic debt."
"I'll teach you some shortcuts."
How much you can understand depends entirely on yourself.
Having said that, he said no more and went straight into teaching mode.
He took out a piece of ordinary white Talisman Paper, and with a flourish of his fingertips, cinnabar flowed across his brush, and a complex and beautiful core rune appeared on the paper.
"This is the basic Talisman Core of the 'Paper Figurine Technique.' Simply infuse it with Spiritual Power, and it will transform into a Paper Figurine Warrior."
"Depending on their purpose, various Paper Figurine can be made; some can be used to serve tea, while others can be used to conquer cities and seize strongholds."
"And this is what a combat-type warrior is—"
Qin Wangchuan flicked his sleeve and tossed out the Talisman Paper.
With a deep tremor, the Talisman Paper suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.
The paper twisted and expanded in the light, instantly transforming into a two-meter-tall giant shadow.
The giant shadow was bronze in color, and its surface was covered with fine Spiritual Power patterns, as if it were ancient Xuan paper that had been precipitated for thousands of years.
He was extremely robust, with broad shoulders, a thick back, and strong limbs, exuding an explosive sense of power.
The face is blurry, with no specific facial features.
Where the face should be, several crisscrossing crimson cinnabar lines are drawn, forming an abstract mask that is both angry and dignified, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.
"Thump!"
When it was fully revealed, the stone slab beneath its feet sank by half an inch.
Unlike the nimble Paper Figurine Qin Wangchuan usually used for sweeping and brewing tea—
The powerful figure before us was practically Divine General- like being; just by standing still, he made the stall's tarpaulin flutter loudly.
Pang Jie was standing right next to him, was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud, his face turning deathly pale.
Even the old man who had been spying from afar had his pupils shrink, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.
This is no longer some trick or gimmick; it's clearly a powerful Talisman Dao War Puppet!
'Heavenly Talisman Paper Technique!'
'This kid is Successor the Imperial Clan of the Ten Directions Immortal Court!'
