The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

Just when Jiang Qingyi was thinking about what attitude to adopt, Taiqing seemed to feel Jiang Qingyi's breath. He opened his eyes and looked at her, then waved at Jiang Qingyi.

Jiang Qingyi walked over and saluted respectfully, "Elder Taiqing."

Tai Qing didn't understand why Jiang Qingyi's attitude changed, so he asked, "What's wrong with you today? You were never so polite before!"

Jiang Qingyi smiled awkwardly, "I didn't know who you were before, but now that I know, I can't be so rude."

Tai Qing waved his hand, "Don't do that. It's the same now as it was before. It's rare for an old man to find a friend regardless of age difference. He doesn't have to follow so many rules."

Jiang Qingyi chuckled, "I was just waiting for you to say this. I'm not used to it if it keeps going like this."

Tai Qing smiled and nodded at Jiang Qingyi twice, "You, you."

Jiang Qingyi leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Elder Taiqing..."

"Wait, you should just call me grandpa, it sounds better."

Jiang Qingyi hesitated for a moment, "This...is not appropriate!"

Tai Qing pretended to be angry and said, "What's inappropriate? Just call me when I tell you to!"

"Okay, Grandpa, how does the wine I gave you last time taste? Is it right?"

"Oh, by the way, speaking of wine, you should still have quite a bit, right? How about giving some to the old man?"

Jiang Qingyi nodded and placed a jar in front of Taiqing. "I didn't make too much this first time, so the rest is all here. You can take them all."

Tai Qing quickly put the jar away and sent Jiang Qingyi to read.

This time, Jiang Qingyi went directly to look for books related to talismans. In addition to the history of talismans, Jiang Qingyi also wrote down some very basic talismans. They were just little things anyway, so there was nothing wrong with learning them.

Jiang Qingyi stayed in the library for five days and then came out. After learning about things related to talismans, she went to the trading house to exchange a batch of materials for drawing talismans.

The talisman pens, paints, and papers needed are all specially made, and Jiang Qingyi does not have any of them in her space, so they need to be prepared temporarily.

It’s not that ordinary materials can’t be used to draw talismans, but the success rate of drawing talismans with ordinary materials is too low, so they are directly eliminated by talisman practitioners.

However, when one's strength reaches a certain level, one can abandon materials and draw talismans in the void. It's just that Jiang Qingyi, a beginner, cannot reach this level yet.

The seniors in the trading house all knew Jiang Qingyi. After she left, two of them gathered together to gossip quietly.

"Hey, Junior Sister Qingyi from the Pharmacist Branch. I feel so stunning every time I see her. Although the looks of our cultivators are not bad, I have only seen one person as pretty as this one."

"Who said it wasn't? I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel that Junior Sister Qingyi is better than before, and she has a special charm."

"I don't want that person to brag about being the most beautiful woman and still... Tsk tsk tsk, forget it, don't mention it, to avoid getting in trouble."

"What did Junior Sister Qingyi want just now?"

"Some materials for drawing talismans! Hmm? Isn't she an alchemist? Why did she buy these things? Could it be that..."

"How is that possible? Being an alchemist is already tiring, not to mention that she can also refine equipment, which still requires talent. She should have bought it for someone else."

"What? Junior Sister Qingyi can also refine weapons? How come I didn't know about this when?!"

"Not long ago, she went to the Instrument Master Branch to take classes, and the instructor praised her. There is also a rumor that the Dean of the Instrument Master Branch went to Dean Si to ask for her, saying that he didn't want to bury a genius. Unfortunately, Dean Si didn't agree."

"My goodness, is Junior Sister Qingyi really that talented? The deans of the two branches are fighting over her."

"I don't know about that, but Junior Sister Qingyi is usually very low-key and is rarely seen in the academy, otherwise how could she have been the most beautiful lady?"

"Little ancestor, please don't say it. It's fine to just understand this kind of thing in your heart, but don't say it out loud!"

Jiang Qingyi returned to Leyuan, slipped into the space, and then put the jade slip of the ancient talisman book on her forehead.

A pricking feeling instantly rushed into Jiang Qingyi's mind. She gritted her teeth and covered her head, wishing she could hit the ground with her head.

In the past, when she received these jade slips, she would just feel a headache at most, but this time, Jiang Qingyi felt so painful that she wanted to die.

If she knew that being a talisman master was so difficult, she would never do it... No, it would be better for her to learn it.

Fortunately, the pain as if her head was pricked by a needle did not last long and was followed by continuous bloating and pain. However, these were nothing to Jiang Qingyi and could be ignored within her tolerable range.

Now she began to sort out the extra knowledge in her mind. The content of the ancient book of talismans was not too much. Jiang Qingyi spent some time reading it through, and finally started practicing from the beginning.

The talismans she saw in the library required burning incense and washing hands first, so there were quite a few preludes.

But the ancient talisman book is simpler and more crude, just let Ning Xin calm down and concentrate, pick up the pen and draw casually.

There is a huge difference between the two. People like Jiang Qingyi who are afraid of trouble would rather choose to listen to the ancient book of talismans and do whatever is convenient.

Jiang Qingyi took the talisman brush, casually dipped a little water-diluted paint in it, repeated the basic drawing method of the Breath-Suppressing Talisman many times in her mind, and finally took a deep breath before picking up the brush and starting to paint.

The pen in her hand moved easily across the talisman paper, injecting spiritual energy into it while drawing the talisman.

After all, spiritual power is essential for talismans to be effective.

Perhaps it was due to her talent, but when Jiang Qingyi’s talisman pen finished drawing, the talisman paper flashed, indicating that it was completed successfully.

Jiang Qingyi, who originally thought that the painting was difficult, was completely shocked. She looked at her hands, then at the talisman she had just completed on the table, feeling somewhat unbelievable.

Feeling very confused, Jiang Qingyi picked up the pen and drew a few more pictures, and finally confirmed that this thing didn't seem to be that difficult.

Jiang Qingyi practiced over and over again in this space. When her spiritual power was exhausted, she would meditate and practice, and when it was full, she would continue practicing.

After who knows how many days had passed, Jiang Qingyi had memorized the methods of drawing the talismans she had practiced. She could now draw as soon as she picked up the pen, without having to go over it in her mind in advance.

However, drawing talismans is a gradual process. Even though she has practiced for a long time, she can only draw intermediate talismans. She cannot draw more complex talismans no matter how hard she tries.

Jiang Qingyi didn't force it. It was already amazing for a beginner to get to this point, wasn't it? She didn't need to be so demanding on herself. She had plenty of time anyway.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyi stopped drawing talismans and did not need to clean up the things on the table.
