The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1084 What a waste of talent (2nd update)
"Master, those people who moved in are clearly Xuan Masters. Why did they suddenly come here in groups?"

Yun Ran sat on the sofa, took out the materials for drawing talismans, and didn't even look up.

"These Xuan Masters, although their skills cannot compare to your master's, are not without reason. They must have discovered something useful."

While not all of these people are driven by self-interest, they certainly wouldn't rush into anything without a benefit to them.

"Go and see if the bowl that was buried in the Zhou family's courtyard has been discovered by these people."

Upon hearing this, the little paper figure vanished in a flash.

At the speed of the little paper figure, unless it chooses to, the human eye cannot detect its existence.

Yun Ran waved her hand, and the entire room was sealed off, preventing even the slightest trace of her presence from escaping.

If there were someone knowledgeable here at this moment, they would surely recognize that the blank talisman paper that Yun Ran took out was the most precious type, with astonishing value.

Once the talisman is drawn, it will definitely be a top-tier, high-level talisman, and may even attract heavenly lightning.

Yun Ran took out a demon core whose luster had noticeably dimmed and squeezed it hard.

The energy that was originally contained in the demon core immediately turned into starlight.

Finally, following the instructions, everything was incorporated into the materials Yunran needed to draw the talisman.

Yunran took a deep breath and picked up her brush to begin drawing talismans.

She had to scatter these talismans within three days to suppress the sealed creatures throughout Lotus City.

The glimmer of hope that Yunran deduced was to deal with those sealed creatures.

There was a "click" sound.

The solid wood sofa fell apart just as Yunran was about to put down her pen.

Yunran: ...

On the spot, Yunran felt that if she said she was a strongwoman, some people would probably believe her.

With a pout, Yun Ran resignedly got up and touched her sore bottom.

Then he looked out the window and silently cursed for a while.

"Boom!" A thunderclap carrying a warning sound rang out.

Such a bolt from the blue was, in the eyes of a divination master, an ominous sign.

The room next to Yunran's.

Several obviously elderly Xuan Masters were somewhat frightened by the thunder coming from outside the window.

For ordinary people, this thunderclap is at most just a sign of unpredictable weather; they might exchange a few words about it, and that's it.

However, to the Xuan Master, this thunder meant that someone had angered the heavens.

One of the elderly men looked at the person next to him with a serious expression: "Go and see what's going on!"

The elderly man who was clearly a servant beside him immediately slipped away.

His agile figure didn't look like that of an older person at all; in fact, it was comparable to that of many young people.

The servant returned shortly afterward.

He returned carrying a bell in his hands: "Master, nothing unusual has been found."

This bell is a top-quality magical artifact; any fluctuation in energy will cause it to ring.

The old man was relieved when the bell did not ring.

Finally, he looked at the others and asked, "What do you think of what the Zhou family found?"

The group exchanged glances before finally saying in unison, "We will follow your lead. Whatever you say, goes!"

These people's answers clearly resonated with the old man.

He nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Since everyone has said so, then I'll reluctantly take the lead."

However, I won't let you suffer any losses. Later, I'll have someone allocate some extra spots for your family members. ...

After discussing and reaching a compromise, the group left the room.

In the end, only the old man and his servant remained.

The old man reached out and lifted a cloth covering the table, revealing the alms bowl that Yunran had asked the little paper figure to check earlier.

The alms bowl was no longer dirty.

It has a slightly antique feel to it.

Previously, they had been discussing the management of this alms bowl, and it was clear that the old man had the upper hand.

Now that he has the item in his hands, he naturally wants to study it carefully.

"Bring me that high-level talisman!"

The servant turned around, picked up a wooden box from the table beside him, and opened it.

Inside lay the talisman that Yunran had left at the Zhou family residence.

The old man looked at the obvious signs that the talisman had been activated, and a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"What a waste of resources! What a waste!"

He had no idea that right next door, separated by only a wall, Yun Ran was redrawing even more talismans, some even more powerful than the one he was currently seeing.

The talisman in the old man's hand was just a copy that Yunran had made earlier.

This kind of rubbing is not in the same league as the ones Yunran drew by hand.

The old man looked at the talisman and then at the pattern on the alms bowl.

But he only saw half of the pattern before his vision went black.

Upon seeing the old man's appearance, the servant quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Master, what's wrong?"

The old man closed his eyes and rested for a while before he felt a little better.

It's only because he's so powerful that anyone else would have already suffered a backlash.

But it was because he had personally tested it that he knew even more clearly just how powerful the person who could draw this talisman was.

The old man remained silent for a moment before looking at his servant and saying, "Try to draw this talisman."

The servant stepped forward respectfully and carefully examined the pattern on the talisman.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his eyes.

The servant staggered, and instinctively covered his eyes with his hands.

"Uh!"

A suppressed cry of pain escaped from the servant's tightly clenched lips.

The old man, seeing this scene, naturally knew what had happened.

He sighed with some regret: "You may leave now."

This backlash comes quickly and goes quickly; it will recover after a short while.

The old man never dreamed that even just trying to see the pattern on the talisman was so difficult, let alone drawing it.

And Yunran next door.

But he felt that drawing these symbols with one hand was too slow, so he started using both hands at the same time.

Furthermore, because they drew continuously, they quickly became proficient and their speed increased, allowing them to complete a drawing in just a few seconds.

At this moment, there were already quite a few drawn talismans piled up on the ground.

Each time a talisman is drawn, a white light flashes across it; this is a sign that a high-level talisman has been completed.
