Chen Xu carefully conducted a comparison test.
Currently, he has five types of potted plants: Red Vermilion Pill, Golden Bullet, Golden Orange, Fig, and Raspberry.
Among them, several Golden Orange pots have just sprouted small buds, which typically bloom within a day or two, making them especially convenient for comparison.
The Red Vermilion Pill is also in bloom; according to the flower rchant, this type of Red Vermilion Pill has been specially cultivated to have a flowering period of two to three months.
The fruit-bearing period is even longer, lasting over five months.
After grouping the pots, Chen Xu left so to grow naturally in the real world, while those placed in the Fire and Smoke Kitchen’s Firewood House also grew naturally.
The last group is also in the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, where Chen Xu grinds ink and lays out paper—
The ink is blended cinnabar ink, and the paper is pre-cut yellow roman paper.
Both were sourced from the Qingxu Daoist Palace outside the city, not purchased by Chen Xu himself, but by the steward of the Feng Mansion’s villa.
Speaking of which, the cinnabar ink and the yellow roman paper are indeed quite expensive, costing one tael of silver for a set of twelve blank sheets.
Chen Xu spent a total of fifty taels of silver to buy six hundred blank talisman papers.
It’s said that if the completed House Protection Talisman or Peace Talisman drawn by ordinary Daoist disciples cost the sa, one tael of silver per sheet.
But if it’s drawn by a Daoist, a True Master, the price is imasurable.
After all, so things can still be bought with money, while others can no longer be asured by mundane wealth.
Additionally, Chen Xu has half a can of Netherworld Ink, but this substance is edible by demons and ghosts, so Chen Xu naturally can’t use it like regular ink and safely stores it away, not to be discussed further.
He picks up the pen to draw talismans.
Over the past few days, Chen Xu has practiced the All Things Transformation Talisman at least a thousand tis, utilizing the ti discrepancy of the Fire and Smoke Kitchen.
It is said that reading a book a hundred tis reveals its aning, let alone practicing sothing over a thousand tis?
Chen Xu is not a fool; he has even tasted miraculous spiritual foods like Moonlight Flowing Spirit Immortal Tea and Lotus Wisdom Soup, which enhance one’s comprehension.
Now, with ink and pen on the talisman, the spiritual light in his thoughts gracefully arrives.
He seems to return to that day on Qihai Mountain during the literary eting; amidst the world’s noise, at that mont, he alone saw the naturally reflected True Talisman through the ancient inkstone’s floating mountainous patterns!
The All Things Transformation Talisman appears to extract a certain spiritual rhythm from nature.
This spiritual rhythm is then recorded and imprinted with runes.
Chen Xu’s soul and body reside in the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, yet his clearly defined divine thoughts seem to rge into the vast and boundless unknown world.
The villa, the chamber, a square inch world.
Deep night, wind rising, limitless blue sky.
A point of spiritual light suddenly arrives, and runes flow relentlessly from his pen.
In the mysterious Fire and Smoke Kitchen, Chen Xu’s pen moves like a deity, continuously drawing ten All Things Transformation Talismans without a single failure.
Only on the eleventh attempt did the spiritual light suddenly grow sluggish, Chen Xu’s pen tilted slightly, the Innate Qi in his Dantian couldn’t connect, causing the talisman paper on the table to suddenly combust in flas without external cause.
It failed.
The spiritual light broke off at this point.
Chen Xu checked his internal energy, confirming that the Innate Qi in his Dantian was abundant.
Thus, it wasn’t due to insufficient cultivation that led to this failure; it was that the captured spiritual light could only support the drawing of ten talismans.
The path of the rune is indeed profound.
No wonder there’s a saying in the talisman realm: A spark of spiritual light forms a talisman, while others waste ink and cinnabar.
Chen Xu sighed at the difficulty of drawing talismans, little realizing that if his success rate were to be known, all the talisman experts in the world would be green with envy, doubting themselves.
Having drawn ten, after failing on the eleventh, Chen Xu rested for a mont.
He relaxed his mind, slowly pacing within the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, casually taking inventory.
He then checked around the Firewood House, seeing nurous pots just piled on the ground, Chen Xu thought, he should buy a few shelves to organize these pots next ti.
If he doesn’t buy them, however, the seemingly inexhaustible pile of lumber in the Firewood House, if not split into firewood, can indeed be used to make shelves.
Doing this would count as both relaxation and recreation.
Thinking back to the day when Chen Xu’s Divine Soul Attribute broke through to [200] points, resulting in a new door and a Firewood House appearing from the transformation in the Fire and Smoke Kitchen.
Yet it’s unknown when the next transformation will occur, or what the conditions for transformation will be.
Chen Xu embraced the present mont, calming and easing his emotions, then returned to the desk to continue drawing talismans.
Sending out his divine thought, seeking another spiritual light.
Clouds rolled at the tip of the brush, finishing with a flourish.
In this manner, going back and forth repeatedly, after five hours, Chen Xu obtained a total of one hundred and twenty All Things Transformation Talismans.
To draw more was impossible regardless, not because of insufficient cultivation, but because the day’s spiritual light seed completely exhausted.
Even when Chen Xu decisively added Tri-Attribute Points, spending five points each on Divine Soul, Essence, and Qi Blood, it only restored ntal agility.
This didn’t affect his other cultivation practices or combat capabilities.
Only in drawing talismans, he simply couldn’t produce more if the inspiration wasn’t there.
It was during this talisman drawing session that Chen Xu truly felt the superiority of Innate Qi.
Drawing talismans actually consus a considerable amount of True Qi, but Chen Xu’s Innate Qi inherently possesses a continuously generating trait.
Even after successfully drawing one hundred and twenty talismans, with around twenty or thirty wasted talisman papers, the consumption from drawing was still outpaced by his Innate Qi’s recovery speed.
Once ready, Chen Xu first chose a pot of Golden Oranges.
He noticed that nearly six hours had passed, and the small buds on this Golden Orange branch seed to have slightly expanded.
Chen Xu confird this wasn’t an illusion; with his current cultivation and divine soul, it’s unlikely he’d easily fall prey to illusions.
Thus, even without external comparison to other Golden Oranges, he could confirm that in the past six hours, the Golden Orange in the Fire and Smoke Kitchen had indeed been continuously growing!
This good news imdiately energized Chen Xu.
He took out an All Things Transformation Talisman, activating it with True Qi.
The talisman paper instantly floated up, emitting a faint clear light over the Golden Orange.
Chen Xu imdiately sensed an indescribable lively and clear aura surrounding him, while below, the little Golden Orange’s branches and leaves began to sway.
On the branch tips, where the buds were originally half-opened, they all blood, completing a flowering process right before Chen Xu’s eyes.
As the flowers blood, the petals moved without wind.
Beneath the clear light, it seed as if a dust-like mist floated; with a thought, Chen Xu knew this was the Golden Orange being pollinated by the wind.
As for the source of the wind, it naturally ca from that remarkably spiritual All Things Transformation Talisman.
Chen Xu felt as if he were experiencing a life’s blooming journey, the most romantic endeavor of the world, a growth and exuberance rarely felt in the mundane world, an unexpected and overwhelming vigor.
Standing in front of this small Golden Orange pot, Chen Xu was montarily stunned.
He soon realized that the floating All Things Transformation Talisman seed to be running out of power, so he imdiately took out another All Things Transformation Talisman and activated it.
Then he saw the fruits start to grow as the flowers wilted.
The tiny fruits pushed through the branch tips, despite being plants, the rapid growth at this mont gave Chen Xu a curious sense of dynamic movent.
Chen Xu also sensed the Golden Orange’s roots spreading within the pot, the soil fertility rapidly depleting, while the extending roots reached upwards from the pot’s soil.
They seed instinctively greedy, yearning for more refined spiritual energy, hence the roots stretched upwards.
It was at this mont that the third All Things Transformation Talisman floated up, releasing a large amount of spiritual energy, completing a crucial relay that instantly ripened all the Golden Oranges.
A new entry in the spiritual food category now erges!
