Courting Death
After scanning the four characters, Yin Yunze finally chose the Fire Character Talisman.
After all, there's no suitable place to use the characters for Expel Character Talisman" and "Heal Character Talisman," and Yin Yunze can't very well cut himself in half.
If it's confirmed to be usable, then so be it; but if it's not usable, then it's simply self-harm.
In terms of safety, the Illusion Spell is actually more suitable.
The problem is that all the characters Yin Yunze sealed into today were single-target Illusion Technique.
If it's a group illusion, that's fine; Yin Yunze can see it after using it.
But for a single-target Illusion Technique, Yin Yunze couldn't just randomly pick a passerby or even try it on himself!
In comparison, the experiment with the Fire Spell is much more direct and straightforward; the moment the flame appears, whoever uses it will know.
Of course, for safety reasons, Yin Yunze did not use it directly at home.
Instead, he took the talismans downstairs, bought a shared bicycle, and returned to the lakeside he hadn't visited since the water supply dried up.
Using his phone's flashlight, Yin Yunze drew a Fire Character Talisman and shouted, "Go!"
To Yin Yunze's embarrassment, the Fire Character Talisman showed Yin Yunze no respect whatsoever, despite him being both a creator and Land God.
The Fire Character Talisman floated half a meter away with the force of the finger before drifting to the ground, but there was no reaction at all.
"Eh, still not working... I knew it... Hmm, wait a minute."
Just as Yin Yunze was feeling dejected, thinking that characters, like the Power of Incense Offerings, were unusable in this world, a sudden inspiration struck him.
He is now a mortal, and the way mortals and fox spirits use characters is completely different.
Fox spirits can draw upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, as well as the Power of Incense Offerings; using them is as simple as a thought, effortless and effortless.
As a mortal, Yin Yunze had specially added an activation incantation to prevent accidental activation.
Recalling the activation incantation he had set, Yin Yunze once again grasped the fire-character incantation, waved his hand towards the lake, and softly called out, "Fox spirit, help me!"
Fearing that it might still fail to start, Yin Yunze dared not shout loudly this time.
As this soft voice was uttered, Yin Yunze saw a flash of light appear on the Fire Character Mantra.
During the day, the streak of light is not particularly noticeable. But at night, it becomes quite eye-catching.
As the light flashed by, Yin Yunze felt as if the characters had suddenly turned into ashes and scattered between his fingers.
But then, a basketball-sized, eerie green fireball appeared before Yin Yunze's eyes.
After flying in a parabolic arc for several meters, the fireball landed on the lake surface, splashing out in an area with a radius of several meters, much like fireworks.
Tiny green flames burned on the lake's surface, creating an eerie beauty.
However, these Fox Fire were quickly swallowed up by the lake, leaving no trace.
The whole process wasn't slow; it actually only lasted a few seconds.
But watching this scene, Yin Yunze's heart was pounding wildly.
At this moment, Yin Yunze completely understood Sun Qin's feelings during the day.
Although Yin Yunze, as a fox spirit, has possessed these powers for quite some time, and the skills are now second nature to him, the initial novelty has long since faded.
However, this situation only exists in that one world.
In that world, Yin Yunze was positioned as a fox spirit from the very beginning.
Isn't it normal for a fox spirit to possess such power?
To be more precise, before Spirit Descent Zhao Wan, Yin Yunze's attitude towards that world was more like that of a game that could earn him money, closer to virtual reality.
When you play a game, would you care if you gained the ability to scale walls, fly on a sword, or move mountains and fill seas?
No, it won't.
Because, as you know, this is just the setting for a game character.
Especially after discovering from the beginning that the Power of Incense Offerings could only be used in that world, even after acquiring new skills, Yin Yunze didn't feel much of a sense of gain beyond a utilitarian perspective.
It's similar to leveling up; you should have new skills now!
However, at this very moment, Yin Yunze is in the real world!
For the first time in reality, Yin Yunze used the power of that world.
In a game, even if you can move mountains and fill seas, it's still nothing special.
But in reality, even if all you can do is grow thorns all over your body, that's still a unique superpower!
Somewhat excited, Yin Yunze drew another Fire Character Talisman.
"Fox spirit, please help me!"
Reciting the incantation he had set for himself once more, Yin Yunze this time threw it not at the lake, but at the ground at his feet.
As the talisman landed, a blazing fire quickly rose from the ground.
Since it was already late autumn and early winter, the weeds on the ground had long since withered and been cleared away, so Yin Yunze wasn't worried about causing any fires.
As he watched the green fire slowly shrink over time, Yin Yunze suddenly had a very reckless idea.
Sometimes people do stupid things for no reason. For example, right now, Yin Yunze wants to touch this Fox Fire to verify that he is not dreaming.
Without hesitation, Yin Yunze took a deep breath, squatted down beside the fire, gritted his teeth, and reached out with his left hand.
"Damn it!"
The next moment, Yin Yunze regretted it.
The Fox Fire showed no regard for Yin Yunze being its master; the moment Yin Yunze touched it, the Fox Fire responded with great fervor.
Yin Yunze also understood why those who had been Fox Fire screamed so horribly.
This thing definitely has the property of doubling the pain level!
At least, the last time Yin Yunze accidentally got burned by a mosquito coil, it definitely didn't hurt this much!
Yin Yunze quickly dipped his hand into the lake water and extinguished the Fox Fire.
With trembling hands, Yin Yunze pulled them out of the lake water, feeling utterly helpless and on the verge of tears.
One was in pain, and the other was embarrassed by their own stupidity.
Yin Yunze suddenly realized that if he really wanted to experiment, he could just bite himself instead of provoking the Fox Fire!
Looking at his charred left hand, Yin Yunze quickly used his right hand to find the Heal Character Talisman.
Holding the Heal Character Talisman, Yin Yunze shouted to his left hand.
"Fox spirit, please help me!"
As the Heal Character Talisman transformed into a beam of white light and landed on his hand, Yin Yunze felt a cool sensation, and then the pain in his hand disappeared.
The charred marks on my hands disappeared visibly, and new skin grew back.
Finally, apart from the fact that the new skin was somewhat whitish in color, creating a stark contrast with the skin on the right hand, resembling vitiligo, there was no visible trace of previous burns.
"In a way, this has tested the effectiveness of Heal Wounds and Cure Illness in real-world applications."
In the end, this was the only way Yin Yunze could make amends for himself.
After glancing at the remaining dozen or so talismans, Yin Yunze, though still tempted to try, restrained himself.
After all, waste is shameful!
We can wait until we have enough fireworks to set them off!
After carefully putting away the talisman, Yin Yunze happily rode a shared bicycle back home.
Because he was too excited, Yin Yunze didn't fall asleep until very late.
But the next morning, Yin Yunze woke up early.
After washing up and having breakfast, Yin Yunze entered that world.
At that moment, Sun Qin and Zhao Wan were also having breakfast.
After the two finished eating, Yin Yunze greeted them and then leaned over Zhao Wan.
To Yin Yunze's surprise, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had been restored to its fullest extent after just one night.
After all, Yin Yunze only created the characters yesterday afternoon. If it takes a whole day to recover, then the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi should not have fully recovered yet.
In other words, if we take an optimistic view and assume that the recovery rate of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is half a day, then Yin Yunze can create characters twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Although the workload has doubled, efficiency has undoubtedly improved significantly.
Overjoyed at this unexpected windfall, Yin Yunze quickly finished making this batch of talismans.
After all, the earlier you finish in the morning, the sooner you can start work again in the afternoon.
However, this meant that Sun Qin's handwriting was somewhat insufficient.
After instructing Sun Qin to write on the yellow paper whenever she had free time, as he would be coming back in the afternoon, Yin Yunze returned to reality.
Last night, Yin Yunze only found an artist to design his character.
Yin Yunze still needs to find people today, such as craftsmen who make statues of gods and renovation teams who build temples.
