"Forgive my ignorance, then. Is it some rare constitution that grants a talent for crafting talismans?"
Mo Chen ventured a guess.
Zhu Shengxia said, "Exactly!"

"The Talisman-Condensing Body is enormously useful to cultivation sects, so our ancestors were surrounded, hunted down, and sacrificed several times. We only tell our descendants in secret. We've never publicized it."
Never publicized it?
Then Li Suling must have gone to considerable lengths to learn about it.
"This Li Suling has some ability, it seems. He even uncovered a secret deliberately buried like this."
Mo Chen could deeply relate to this matter.

The Immortal Alliance's Seventeen Sects had always forced those below third-rate sects to build hollow, false foundations. And judging by the Li Household, which depended on the Jade Transformation Sect, it was actually quite small.
It was probably less than a quarter the size of Wu Zhengxin's Wu Household, and it had no Golden
