Ye Feng still kept his head lowered, watching Ward's crafting process with increasing concentration.
This time, however, Ye Feng noticed that Ward seemed to have added a step when crafting high-grade, high-tier Paper Talismans. He seemed to be adding some liquid to the blood.
Ye Feng was puzzled. Could there be something wrong with the blood?
At this thought, Ye Feng quietly transmitted his voice to Kalu:
"Chief Kalu, can you tell what liquid Ward added to the blood?"
The sudden voice startled Kalu, but he immediately realized this was Ye Feng's doing.
Kalu did not know how to use such a method himself. He could only glance at Ward, and when he saw that Ward was wholly absorbed in inscribing the Paper Talisman, he quietly approached Ye Feng and answered in a low voice:
"I don't know either. It's a Talisman Maker's secret. Everyone has different methods for making talismans. Supposedly, it can improve the success rate."
Ye Feng fell into thought at these words. This was clearly the key to successfully crafting the talisman, but no matter how he thought it over, he could not understand the purpose of doing this.
He could only pin his hopes on Kalu:
"Could there be something wrong with the blood?"
Ye Feng had not actually held out much hope, but to his surprise, Kalu really did know the reason:
"Apparently, to make high-grade, high-tier Paper Talismans, the blood has to come from at least a Nascent Soul-level creature. Nascent Soul-level creatures already possess an extremely high degree of soul consciousness, and even blood separated from them carries a trace of that consciousness. As more and more blood is used in the inscription, this consciousness grows stronger, affecting the final success rate. The liquid Ward added is most likely a special drug
