Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 23 Talisman Room lv1

When Ji Yuan saw Lu Wan, she was sitting in a talisman room, wearing a light green dress, holding an ancient book in her hands, her brows furrowed slightly, and her forehead covered with a layer of fine sweat.

"Junior Sister Lu, your younger brother is here to see you."

The white-clad man's soft call interrupted Lu Wan's thoughts.

The latter looked up, and her eyes lit up as soon as she saw Ji Yuan.

"Why are you here?"

The man in white panicked at Lu Wan's reaction, but he calmed down after Ji Yuan asked him a question.

"What, can't you come see Sister Lu if there's nothing wrong?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lu Wan smiled and stood up, then bowed to the white-robed man who had led the way, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou."

His tone was neither warm nor cold, and carried a hint of distance.

"It's alright, you two siblings can chat first, I have to go now."

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Ji Yuan thanked her, and Lu Wan had already brought him a cup of tea. "Speak, what is it? Hmph, you wouldn't think of me if there was nothing wrong."

Since she moved to Zengtou City, Ji Yuan has come to see her almost never.

Ji Yuan would only come along when Ji Qingyun came in previous years.

As the two grew up, Ji Yuan never came again.

"There is indeed something..."

Before Ji Yuan could speak, footsteps sounded outside the door again, and then a young man dressed in white walked in. His appearance... could be described as handsome.

In short, he was much better looking than the previous man surnamed Zhou.

Moreover, the aura emanating from him subtly exerted some pressure on Ji Yuan, suggesting that he was probably at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Senior Brother."

Lu Wan, who had just sat down, stood up, and Ji Yuan had no choice but to cup his hands in greeting to the person.

"Junior Sister Lu, there's no need for you to be so polite." The visitor smiled and returned the greeting, then turned to Ji Yuan with a slight smile, saying, "I just heard that our Wu residence has guests, and they are relatives of Junior Sister Lu, so I came to visit."

Relatives?

Lu Wan was somewhat surprised.

Ji Yuan knew who the person in front of him was: Wu Yan, the eldest son of Wu Wenbin, who was quite well-known in Zengtou City.

He has a talent for drawing talismans, plus he has a powerful father.

So, at the age of thirty, he had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

It is rumored that joining the Water Dragon Sect is a done deal, and it's just a matter of time.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wu."

Ji Yuan greeted him with a smile, "I came in a bit of a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. I'll have to make up for it next time. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Wu."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're too kind."

After finishing speaking, Wu Yan naturally sat down to the side and smiled, gesturing, "Please sit down, both of you. You can continue your conversation."

The territory belongs to the Wu family, so Ji Yuan naturally can't say anything. Besides, he came to find Lu Wan for the talisman matter... It would be even better if Wu Yan could be here.

So that I won't be accused of stealing your skills later.

"That's how it is..."

Ji Yuan then explained the problems he had encountered. Lu Wan listened attentively, as did Wu Yan.

"I don't know if this involves lineage; if so, then I'm sorry to bother you."

Ji Yuan cupped his hands in greeting to the two people in front of him and sat back down.

After hearing this, Lu Wan looked at Ji Yuan suspiciously, her expression quite strange.

Wu Yan smiled and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Lu possess any unactivated Tranquility Talismans?"

"some."

Ji Yuan reached into his sleeve, but actually took out a card from his storage bag and handed it to Wu Yan with both hands.

The latter took it, and a flash of light blue spiritual energy appeared in his hand. Not only did the talisman not burn, but the runes on the talisman paper even shimmered with a blue luster.

The talisman... is complete?!

Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, then, thinking about Wu Yan's behavior just now, he seemed to understand something.

He took out a calming talisman he had drawn and tried to infuse it with a trace of spiritual energy.

Unlike last night when the talisman burned, this time, after the spiritual energy was infused, the talisman remained unharmed and the infusion was successful.

In an instant, Ji Yuan finally understood where he had failed.

His mother's final step of spiritual awakening wasn't using a talisman brush at all, but simply pouring spiritual energy into her hands... Ji Yuan couldn't help but blush.

"Cough cough."

"This 'Introduction to Talismans' is really something, it doesn't even give a hint that you should use a talisman brush to activate the spirit."

Wu Yan spread his hands and chuckled, "Most people would probably find it hard to think of using a talisman brush to activate a spirit."

Lu Wan became increasingly suspicious; she didn't think Ji Yuan could be so oblivious.

It's more like they're deliberately looking for an excuse to get close to me.

But she still kindly explained, "The spiritual power released by the talisman brush is only concentrated on one point, making it difficult to activate the entire talisman paper at the same time, so using your hands is the best."

Ji Yuan understood immediately, and then revealed an excited and expectant expression, saying impatiently:

"Thank you both for your help. I'll go back and try again."

"Alright, please make yourself at home, fellow Daoist." Wu Yan nodded with a smile. "If you encounter any further difficulties in the art of talisman drawing next time, feel free to come and ask me."

He's a good person... But Ji Yuan also knows that the main reason Wu Yan is so good is that he thinks he is really Lu Wan's relative.

After all, Ji Yuan had seen the way he looked at Lu Wan many times in his previous life.

It was all an expression of looking at the object of possession.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan had no feelings for Lu Wan. Having been reborn and ascended to the path of immortality, he had only one thought: to see what the path to immortality was like!

Ji Yuan came, and then Ji Yuan left.

Of course, the main reason he was in such a hurry to go back was because the panel had been refreshed, and the [Talisman Room] could finally be upgraded!

After he left, Wu Yan's gaze towards Lu Wan softened considerably.

Admittedly, he did have those feelings for Lu Wan, and it wasn't just him; even both families were trying to bring them together.

Firstly, Lu Wan is quite good-looking; she can be considered a pretty girl.

Secondly, it's because of natural talent.

Lu Wan has a high talent in talisman making, so joining the Water Dragon Sect should be no problem for her.

So as long as they can win over Lu Wan and then join the Water Dragon Sect together, they will definitely be the perfect couple in the eyes of the world.

Moreover, it is of great benefit to one's spiritual cultivation.

This second point, in particular, is the main reason why Wu Yan took a liking to Lu Wan.

After all, looks are worthless. If Wu Yan wanted to, he could easily find a young female cultivator who was even more beautiful and had a better figure than Lu Wan.

"Junior Sister Lu, may I ask who that Junior Brother Lu was just now...?"

"Lu? His surname isn't Lu, his name is Ji Yuan."

Lu Wan was busy explaining to Ji Yuan.

Wu Yan's smile remained unchanged. "Then he's not your cousin, he's your maternal cousin."

"They're not cousins ​​either."

Wu Yan was a little surprised. "He said he's your brother, and he calls you sister? If he's not your cousin, what kind of brother could he be?"

Lu Wan also thought about this question; what kind of younger brother could this be?

After thinking for a moment, she tentatively said:

"The boy next door?"

Wu Yan's smile froze on his face.

……

"Upgrade the talisman room!"

Back home, Ji Yuan couldn't wait to activate the panel in his mind. With a thought, the 0 on it turned into a 1.

The Talisman Room has been upgraded to level 1.

The panel also refreshed, showing the upgrade requirements for the Level 2 Talisman Room.
