The special talisman bullets Zheng Qing spoke of were not special because of how they were made, but because of the talismans wrapped around them. The talisman on this bullet had been drawn with his own blood.
For most wizards, few still used blood to draw talismans nowadays.
On the one hand, it was dangerous. If the talisman paper did not burn completely and the blood was taken by an enemy, all manner of strange curses could descend within two hours. On the other hand, drawing blood talismans placed an enormous burden on a wizard's body; in severe cases, it could even shorten one's lifespan.
Thus, even when blood was needed in a talisman, at most a few drops of fingertip blood would be used to add a final stroke after the talisman was completed. Just as Zheng Qing had done last semester when he drew talismans for Li Meng at Wander Bar.

Talismans drawn with a wizard's own blood were not only easier for the wizard to use, but several times more powerful than those drawn with dragon-blood ink or cinnabar. That was why this ancient talisman-drawing technique had ultimately been passed down.
After the Winter Hunt, realizing how limited his combat methods were, Zheng Qing had reflected deeply and drawn several blood talismans. In the end, he made three Blood Talisman Bombs in case of emergencies. They were usually stored in a small paulownia-wood box inside the Gray Cloth Bag.
