Over the following year, Su Jiu focused on array talismans.
Drawing talismans was fairly simple for her. In barely a month, she could already draw second-tier talismans smoothly.
Aside from that, she also learned some of the support talismans recorded in the Jade Slip the Sect Leader had given her, such as Dust-Cleansing Talismans, Message Talismans, Tracking Talismans, Immobilizing Talismans, Concealment Talismans, and so on. Although these talismans also ranged from the first to the ninth tier, their drawing methods were far simpler than those of ice element combat talismans.
