Elder Xing had already planned to explain in detail to Lu Xuan again. Since Lu Xuan had come to him for guidance, he would naturally do his best to guide him.
However, to his surprise, Lu Xuan actually nodded, indicating that he understood what he was trying to say.
Elder Xing could not help but say, "Lu Xuan, the art of talismans does not allow for the slightest mistake, especially this kind of talisman that is carved with pure soul power. You must not be careless."
Elder Xing almost told Lu Xuan to stop pretending and ask if there was anything he did not understand.
But Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Disciple naturally understands what Elder Xing is saying. I do understand this Soul Locking Talisman, but …"
Hearing this turn of events, Elder Xing finally nodded. It seemed that Lu Xuan was going to ask him. He somewhat understood Lu Xuan's thoughts. After all, Lu Xuan's strength was there. It would be embarrassing to say that he did not understand, so he had to pretend to ask before asking.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan's next words made Elder Xing's eyes widen.
Lu Xuan paused for a moment before saying, "However, I think this talisman can be improved."
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Elder Xing's disciples, stared blankly at Lu Xuan. Obviously, they did not know how to react. What did Lu Xuan just say? He said he could improve this Soul Locking Talisman?
What a joke, the formation of every talisman was meticulously deduced by countless talisman seniors. A mere three star talisman master dared to talk nonsense about improving a four star talisman? If Lu Xuan was a Divine Talisman Master, perhaps they would believe him a little, but only a little. But now, everyone thought that Lu Xuan was stupid, or too arrogant. Did he really think that he was a legendary talisman genius?
Elder Xing also felt that Lu Xuan's words were too much. It was not easy for a mere three star talisman master to understand, let alone improve. But because of Lu Xuan's identity, Elder Xing laughed dryly and said, "No talisman is perfect. The Soul Locking Talisman is the same. There must be a way to improve it. If Lu Xuan is interested, you can study it in the future. Maybe you can find a way to improve it."
Elder Xing was helping Lu Xuan by taking his words out of context. Lu Xuan only said he could improve it, not that he could improve it. Elder Xing's explanation was not wrong.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan did not appreciate it. He shook his head and said, "I have some ideas in mind. I wonder if Elder Xing would like to hear them?"
Elder Xing sighed and thought to himself, "Alright, since you insist that you can improve it, then let me see what you have to say. Don't say anything that will make me laugh."
"Then why don't you say it and we can discuss it." Elder Xing said.
Normally, Lu Xuan would not have been so in the limelight, but today, he had made up his mind to show off some of his strength and pave the way for Chen Xiaohan at the same time. If he performed well, and Chen Xiaohan performed even better than him, wouldn't that make Chen Xiaohan even more of a genius?
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Elder Xing, did you feel that when you were inscribing, there was an obvious jerkiness between the eighteenth talisman and the nineteenth talisman? Did you need to use powerful soul power to forcibly connect them? "
Elder Xing was slightly taken aback by Lu Xuan's words, and he could not help but nod. Lu Xuan actually understood it? And looked at it so carefully?
"Then why don't you think about it, Elder Xing? If I add a stick rune between the eighteenth talisman and the nineteenth talisman, would it solve the problem?" Lu Xuan asked.
Elder Xing immediately thought about it and felt a flash of inspiration. Yes, if I added a stick rune here, the jerkiness would be solved. But if I added such a talisman, would it affect the entire Soul Locking Talisman? One had to know that the talisman was a whole talisman. Adding or subtracting a talisman could affect the whole arrangement.
Lu Xuan did not give Elder Xing too much time to think and immediately said, "The twenty-sixth talisman is a 'shock' rune. If it is replaced by a 'thorn' rune, I think the effect of the Soul Locking Talisman will be even better."
"Also, the thirty-second to thirty-sixth talisman are actually a bit redundant. If I just cut them out and use a 'space' rune to connect them, the effect will not be affected and I can save a lot of soul power."
"Also …"
"Also …"
… …
Lu Xuan listed out seven improvements in a single breath. Some were additions, some were deletions, and some were substitutions. Elder Xing was stunned as he listened. Every time Lu Xuan mentioned something, he would simulate it in his mind, and found that Lu Xuan was on point. Furthermore, according to Lu Xuan's changes, the power of the Soul Locking Talisman would not only increase, but it would also make it easier to inscribe the talisman, which would save more soul power.
The disciples who looked down on Lu Xuan couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. Not to mention whether Lu Xuan's suggestions were correct or not, just based on Lu Xuan's words, they knew that he had seen through the Soul Locking Talisman very thoroughly. Moreover, the fact that he was able to come up with so many suggestions was not something an ordinary person could do. At least, none of them had thought of all these.
Elder Xing closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, "I really didn't expect Lu Xuan to have such a high vision. I really underestimated you and thought you were just playing around. I didn't even consider what you said. Moreover, it sounds very feasible. The only thing I can't be sure of is whether the changes will affect the integrity of the talisman. I will study it carefully later. If it is really feasible, then you are definitely an absolute genius in the Dao of Talismans!"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was a little ashamed. He couldn't see it himself and didn't deserve Elder Xing's praise. This was all the work of Elder Tian Yu. He was just standing on the shoulders of a giant.
However, he naturally couldn't say it now. Instead, he said confidently, "Elder Xing, don't worry. Since I dare to bring it up, it is naturally feasible. Xiaohan, demonstrate it to Elder Xing and the other disciples."
Elder Xing was a little confused. Who was Xiaohan?
Soon, he saw the beautiful girl behind Lu Xuan stand up and smile at him. Then, she started to draw the talisman.
Seeing this, Elder Xing couldn't care less about Chen Xiaohan's identity. Instead, he carefully observed the details of Chen Xiaohan's drawing. He wanted to see if what Lu Xuan said would really work. He wanted to see if this girl called Xiaohan could really draw the improved Soul Locking Talisman according to Lu Xuan's instructions.
Chen Xiaohan's movements were as smooth as flowing water. There was not the slightest bit of delay. Moreover, she had a smile on her face as she drew the talisman. It seemed that she was even more relaxed than Elder Xing and her movements were slower. This wasn't because Chen Xiaohan wasn't proficient enough, but because she deliberately wanted everyone to see it clearly.
However, the truth was that even Elder Xing couldn't slow down his movements. The only explanation was that Chen Xiaohan's Soul Power was so powerful that it probably surpassed Xing Guang, who was a seven star Talisman Master!
Elder Xing closely watched Chen Xiaohan's movements. One place, two places, three places …
Very quickly, she had passed all seven places that Lu Xuan had mentioned. Without exception, Chen Xiaohan had completely followed Lu Xuan's instructions to draw the talisman. Of course, this was the case. After all, both of them had learned ancient Soul Talisman Techniques and they originated from the same source.
Not long after, a Soul Locking Talisman that was incomparably similar to the one that Elder Xing had drawn previously appeared in front of Chen Xiaohan. Regardless of its power, this Soul Locking Talisman had already been successfully drawn.
Elder Xing suppressed the shock in his heart as he solemnly looked at Chen Xiaohan and said: "Use it to attack me. I want to personally experience its power. Don't worry, a four star Soul Talisman won't be able to hurt me."
Chen Xiaohan hesitated for a moment, before she waved her hand and shot the Soul Locking Talisman at Elder Xing. A Soul Talisman Master's Soul Power was far stronger than a martial artist's. Moreover, Elder Xing was a seven star Soul Talisman Master. Therefore, he definitely had some tricks up his sleeve.
The Soul Locking Talisman instantly fused into Elder Xing's body, causing him to suddenly tremble. Soon after, he opened his eyes as a sliver of extreme joy surfaced in them. He looked at Lu Xuan and said: "It can actually be improved. This power is much stronger than what I could draw myself! Lu Xuan, you really are a genius, a genius! "
Elder Xing slightly calmed down. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. He puzzledly looked at Lu Xuan and Chen Xiaohan and asked: "That's not right. How did you know that I would explain the Soul Locking Talisman drawing method? Moreover, it seems like the two of you are already able to draw the Soul Locking Talisman. And this lady, you are so young yet you are able to draw the Soul Locking Talisman so easily? "
Xing Guang instantly felt a headache coming on as his mind was filled with doubts.
Lu Xuan knew that it was time to reveal his cards. Immediately, he did not intend to hide anything as he chuckled and said: "Elder Xing's eyes are indeed like torches. Disciple will slowly explain to you. Do you still remember that during the disciple battle, I said that I would bring a junior sister to visit you? That is Xiaohan. Let me first introduce this junior sister of mine. Her name is Chen Xiaohan and she is currently a five star Soul Talisman Master. As for her age, she is one year younger than me."
Xing Guang was even more astonished: "A five star Soul Talisman Master younger than you! Your junior sister? Could she be Elder Zhao Ying's new disciple? "
"Elder Xing has misunderstood. When I was in Wind Sword School, I followed the Enchantment Hall Master of Wind Sword School, Chen Mo to learn the Talisman Dao. Xiaohan is the daughter of my master, Chen Mo." Lu Xuan explained.
Elder Xing nodded his head: "I know Chen Mo. He is considered to have some talent in the Talisman Dao. However, I did not expect that his daughter's talent in the Talisman Dao would far surpass his. Such a young five star Soul Talisman Master, it is simply unbelievable. Chen Mo has a good daughter!"
Hearing Elder Xing's praise, Chen Xiaohan was a little embarrassed as she bowed and said: "Disciple Chen Xiaohan greets Elder Xing."
Lu Xuan continued: "Elder Xing may not know this, but Xiaohan's talent in the Talisman Dao is not inferior. In fact, the one who saw through the array in front of the house was not me, but Xiaohan. As for the Soul Locking Talisman, Xiaohan has already mastered it. The method of improvement just now was also told by Xiaohan."
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Elder Xing's heart skipped a beat. For Lu Xuan to have done so many things on purpose, it was probably not just to show off in front of him. Elder Xing remained calm and waited for Lu Xuan to continue speaking.
Lu Xuan looked at Xing Guang with a smile and asked: "Elder Xing, what do you think of Xiaohan's talent?"
"Her talent is so high that it is the highest I have seen in my life. More importantly, the strength of her soul is different from ordinary people. It is as if she was born to be a Soul Talisman Master." Xing Guang said sincerely, not minding that his other disciples were also here. Indeed, there was nothing to say about them. Xiaohan could easily inscribe the Soul Locking Talisman, and she was much younger than him.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan did not hide anything. With a slightly solemn face, he said: "The reason I came here is to ask Elder Xing to accept my junior sister as your direct disciple. What does Elder Xing think?"
