Zhang Caifeng pointed at the two talismans, saying happily, "I've discovered it, Ling Tian. The patterns on this talisman you drew are actually included within the decorative patterns drawn on our Longhu Mountain talismans.
This means that only the patterns you drew on this talisman are effective, and the remaining patterns are actually not very useful."
Ling Tian was very surprised. He hadn't expected Zhang Caifeng's comprehension to be so high, that she could see the clue at a glance and apply it to other situations.
"Caifeng is also very right, that's exactly the principle.
The patterns on these talismans are not meaningless. In fact, these patterns are Daoist formations.
You can think of a formation as an integrated circuit. Electrical appliances achieve various functions through the flow of current through circuits.
Talismans are the same, except that the formations are driven by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or the true essence within our bodies..."
Ling Tian patiently explained to Zhang Caifeng, not holding anything back. Zhang Caifeng's eyes widened as Ling Tian opened a door to a new world for her.
After all, at their Longhu Mountain, the creation of talismans was a very profound field of study. Only core disciples with extremely high comprehension could learn to make talismans.
Of course, their method of making talismans at Longhu Mountain was relatively simple and crude: rote memorization. They had to memorize all the patterns on each type of talisman, and then practice until it became second nature.
A large amount of time and energy was spent on this inefficient rote memorization. Furthermore, their talismans had not seen any improvement over the centuries. Instead, some very complex and powerful talismans had been lost!
This was a perfect example of the old saying, "The weasel is inferior to the rat, and each generation is worse than the last."
Now, look at the knowledge Ling Tian was imparting to Zhang Caifeng. He meticulously analyzed and explained the effect of each simple pattern on these talismans to Zhang Caifeng.
Although this knowledge was very complex, once it was fully understood, drawing talismans would no longer be a difficult and tedious task. In fact, she could even use it as a basis to improve talismans and research more powerful ones.
Zhang Caifeng was quickly immersed in this knowledge, and the two of them didn't even eat lunch.
Next, Ling Tian asked Zhang Caifeng to draw a Fire Talisman using the method he taught her.
Zhang Caifeng only tried twice before successfully drawing a Fire Talisman. The power of this Fire Talisman was even slightly stronger than the original Fire Talismans of Longhu Mountain.
Zhang Caifeng continued her experiments. She drew five Fire Talismans and successfully drew three. She only stopped when her true essence was almost depleted.
Zhang Caifeng was extremely excited. She knew that before, she had to draw more than twenty talismans and spend several days to succeed once.
Now, she could draw one in ten minutes, and her success rate was over fifty percent. This meant that Zhang Caifeng could also smash her opponents to death with talismans like Ling Tian from now on.
Zhang Caifeng could also understand why Ling Tian didn't feel any pity for the talismans. With Ling Tian's cultivation and internal energy level, as long as he had enough materials, it wouldn't be difficult for him to draw a hundred talismans a day.
It wasn't until evening that the two of them came out of the room. Zhang Caifeng looked exhausted. The other disciples who saw them looked at them strangely.
"Caifeng, it's getting late, I should go back. I'll come again tomorrow, you should get some rest," Ling Tian said, preparing to leave.
"No, you can't go. Traveling back and forth takes several hours.
How about this, we have a hotel in our village. I'll take you to stay at the hotel. It's only a ten-minute walk from here."
Ling Tian heard this and thought Zhang Caifeng's suggestion was a good one, so he agreed.
The two of them walked hand in hand down the mountain from the sect gate. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain. Indeed, there was a hotel there.
Ling Tian entered the room, and Zhang Caifeng stepped forward and immediately closed the door.
"Uh, Caifeng, it's getting late, you should go back!" Ling Tian felt a bit awkward. After all, it was late at night, and being alone in a room with a man and a woman, this situation felt inherently dangerous.
However, Zhang Caifeng threw her arms around Ling Tian... the following 40,000 words are omitted.
Zhang Caifeng finally got her wish. What happened last night was truly a mix of pain and pleasure.
Ling Tian had no choice. People are not stones; they have emotions. Facing Zhang Caifeng's romantic offensive, Ling Tian finally succumbed.
The next morning, as dawn broke, Ling Tian woke up to find Zhang Caifeng already awake and secretly watching him.
Their eyes met, and Zhang Caifeng's face turned bright red. Then, another 40,000 words were omitted...
It wasn't until noon that the two of them, hand in hand, arrived at the Taoist temple.
Today, the people at the Taoist temple noticed that Zhang Caifeng seemed different. She was radiant, as if she had been reborn.
These Taoist priests were all experts at reading people's expressions. Seeing Zhang Caifeng's condition, they knew what had happened, and their hearts were broken.
Ling Tian continued to teach Zhang Caifeng the techniques for drawing talismans. Zhang Caifeng was also very intelligent and quickly mastered the methods for improving the existing talismans of Longhu Mountain.
In addition to learning to draw Fire Talismans, she also learned the creation of Vajra Talismans and Spirit Gathering Talismans from Ling Tian.
That evening, they descended the mountain together, and he also taught Zhang Caifeng the method of dual cultivation.
Although Zhang Caifeng did not have an ice-attribute physique, this dual cultivation method still led to significant progress in her cultivation.
In just three days, Zhang Caifeng felt as if her bottleneck was about to be broken again.
She had broken through a bottleneck once before on Hell Paradise Island, and her strength had improved significantly. She never expected to improve so quickly again.
Every day, the two of them would arrive at the Taoist temple close to noon, then lock themselves in a room, and only leave in the evening.
Thus, five days passed. One evening, as Ling Tian and Zhang Caifeng were preparing to leave the Taoist temple, Ling Tian had just opened the door when a precious sword was silently thrust towards his chest.
Ling Tian dodged, pushing Zhang Caifeng into the room with one hand, while with the other hand, he had already drawn the Ghost Cut long saber, blocking the attack of the precious sword.
At this moment, Ling Tian realized that the person who had attacked him was actually a Taoist priest.
This Taoist priest appeared quite young, around 40 years old. He was filled with rage, as if he wanted to devour Ling Tian alive.
Ling Tian was somewhat bewildered. He didn't know this Taoist priest at all and couldn't understand why the priest harbored such hatred towards him.
