After a lot of practice, he became more and more skilled in using the brush. He had done quite well in combining the mind and eyes and combining the hands and eyes. The combination of the mind and hands had become a painstaking skill that required constant perseverance.
In the following two months, Shen Luo would practice drawing thirty to forty Lightning Talismans and Flight Talismans every day, in addition to meditating and cultivating.
This wasn't because he was lazy and unwilling to practice more. It was because every time he finished drawing so many talismans, his magic power and Divine Sense would be completely exhausted. There were even a few times when he directly fainted.
Until one time, he drew the Flying Charms with cinnabar. As soon as the charms were formed, the Charm paper lit up with a blue light. But it only flashed faintly. Then, it burned with a "bang".
Shen Luo was happy to see this. He knew that this was a sign that the charms were successful and the charms were connected with each other.
Because the Charm paper and ink were not qualified, they couldn't bear the charms contained in the high-level charms. So, they burned spontaneously.
So, Shen Luo started to refine the ink. He planned to start drawing these two charms.
Finally, there was a thunderstorm. Although he had prepared well in advance, he still suffered a lot when he started to refine the charms.
Normally, he would draw more Lightning Fall Talismans, so he had more experience. However, this was his first attempt, and he felt extremely frustrated. After using 38 sheets of Blue Frost Talisman, he finally managed to draw one before the rain passed and the sky cleared up.
In the next two weeks, he didn't dare to stop. He continued to use the yellow Charm paper to practice drawing charms. He kept his hands on the Charm paper.
Finally, there was another thunderstorm. He drew twenty-one charms. But, he only made one charms.
Shen Luo used twelve of the remaining thirteen sheets of Blue Frost Paper to continue drawing the Lightning Charms. But, all of them were failures. He only left the last one to try drawing the Flying Charms.
Shen Luo didn't use the Purple Cloud Paper for the Charm paper. But, he used the special ink for drawing the Flying Charms.
Originally, Shen Luo didn't have much hope for this experiment. He wanted to experience the feeling of forming a talisman more closely before using the Purple Cloud Paper to draw.
However, to his surprise, when he tried this time, his hand felt very good. The rune was actually completed in one go, and he directly succeeded in drawing it.
Unfortunately, before he could rejoice for a moment, white smoke rose from the center of the talisman and it burned.
"Sure enough, I can't use Green Frost Paper …"
Shen Luo had no time to feel pity. He immediately took out the Purple Cloud Amulet Paper, added some Talisman Ink, and continued to draw Flight Amulet.
However, after he picked up the brush, the feeling he had before was gone. He drew three talisman papers in a row, but none of them were completed. This made him extremely regretful. If he had used the Purple Cloud Paper before, he should have had a true Flight Talisman by now.
However, it was useless to regret. Shen Luo simply stopped.
After he rested for a few days, he tried to draw talismans again. In the end, he used up the remaining Purple Cloud Amulet Paper and still had nothing to show for it. This made him depressed for a while.
During this period, Shen Luo received two exorcism missions from the Bai Family. When he carried out the missions, he found that they were all small matters related to the invasion of evil energy and the collision of Yin spirits. It was easy to deal with them, but the rewards were not high. They were only a few taels of silver.
Shen Luo didn't care. He knew that he couldn't rush the matter of his cultivation realm. He just wanted to slowly climb higher. He had never thought of competing for the position of first. But in the eyes of the other guests of the Bai Residence, especially those who were slightly stronger than him, this "uncompetitive" attitude became the model of someone who didn't think about improving themselves.
Some of the younger disciples of the Bai Family also had many complaints about him. They thought that he was using Bai Xiaotian's name to stay in the Bai Family and not leave.
Shen Luo was well aware of this, but he didn't care.
What surprised him was that he actually bumped into Bai Xiaoyun arguing with one of the younger disciples of the Bai Family. Bai Xiaoyun praised him for his strength and said that how could someone who could call his elder brother, Bai Xiaotian, brother be trash?
However, in everyone's eyes, Bai Xiaoyun was an ignorant and incompetent good-for-nothing. His words might be listened to, but not many people really cared.
There was an exception in the Bai Family. That Third Elder, Bai Jiangfeng, thought highly of Shen Luo. After knowing that he practiced talismans, he would occasionally discuss talisman crafting with him.
No matter how good Shen Luo was at talisman crafting, he did have unique insights in theory. Sometimes, he even surprised Bai Jiangfeng.
Later, Ma Lu suddenly sent a message saying that the value of the Soul-Suppressing Golden Tablet had been underestimated. He asked Shen Luo to go to the Record Treasure Hall again and gave him another ten immortal jades.
Shen Luo was overjoyed and bought a lot of talisman paper and spiritual materials. He went back and continued to work on the Thunder Talisman and Flight Talisman. After spending a month, he really managed to draw two more Thunder Talismans and one Flight Talisman.
On this day, Shen Luo went to Bai Jiangfeng's courtyard again during a break in his cultivation.
The two of them were like a pair of good friends. They sat at a stone table in the courtyard, separated by a teapot that emitted spirals of smoke. They talked about their own experiences in talisman crafting.
"All the orthodox thunder techniques in the world came from Master Zhang. Although this Little Thunder Talisman is a thunder attribute talisman, it's not part of the Five Thunder Techniques. It's a side branch. Even if you change it to a better talisman paper and ink, its power won't increase by much." Shen Luo pointed at a Little Thunder Talisman on the table in front of him and said.
"Although this talisman's power isn't enough, it's good in that it's made of ordinary materials and easy to draw. It has a natural suppressive effect on ordinary ghosts. It has many advantages. I'm already very grateful that you're willing to pass on the method of drawing it, "Bai Jiangfeng said with a smile.
"I've learned the Mind-clearing Talisman from Senior. If I encounter any obstacles in the future, I'll have an extra layer of protection. Won't I also benefit a lot? Moreover, Senior has also helped me solve many of my cultivation problems. I'm just thinking that I can't repay you with anything. "Shen Luo said.
"Sigh, if only Xiaotian was half as hardworking as you. I've been too lenient on him in the past." Bai Jiangfeng couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Bai Xiaotian.
"Senior's words are really a slap to my face. If I had half of Bai Xiaotian's talent, I wouldn't have to work so hard and make no progress." Shen Luo said half-jokingly and self-deprecatingly.
"Although that's the case, I'm more optimistic about your temperament. As long as you can guard your heart and not be disturbed by external things, your future achievements will be extraordinary." Bai Jiangfeng said with a slightly serious expression.
While the two of them were talking, an uninvited guest suddenly ran into the courtyard.
Shen Luo turned his head and saw Bai Xiaoyun walking in with a red sandalwood box in his arms.
"Greetings, Third Grandpa. Eh, Big Brother Shen is here too?" When he saw the two of them, he immediately cried out in surprise.
"You little brat, what's wrong with you today? I've never heard you call anyone other than Xiaotian big brother. "When Bai Jiangfeng heard this, a trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes as he scolded jokingly.
Bai Xiaoyun, on the other hand, smiled embarrassedly and didn't explain anything.
"You little brat, you're even wilder than your brother. Why did you come to my place today?" Bai Jiangfeng waved his hand at him, indicating for him to sit beside him.
