Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

Xia Wange was frustrated to see everyone staring at her; she desperately wanted someone to answer her questions.

[Would this process allow me to sell the talismans for a higher price? After all, I'm in the industry, and I don't want to ruin my livelihood.]

[Help! Someone tell me the correct method in our circle! The way that senior brother on the mountain draws talismans while squatting in the toilet definitely won't work; the talisman paper made that way would be very cheap.]

Should I paint or not? If I don't paint soon, the pee will dissipate. Oh well, so be it, I'll just be a nobody, I'll be ashamed if I have to.

Xia Wange was leaning against the railing, and Lu Qiu's hand was resting on it the whole time, so he could hear her thoughts clearly.

Seeing the other person silently open the cinnabar with a shameful attitude, Lu Qiu couldn't help but laugh.

Those people dared not say anything; they were clearly looking at the peerless master with those eyes!

Lu Qiu couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Xia Wange showing off and getting all cocky later.

It's not entirely fair to blame Xia Wange for her biased thinking; after all, she had never interacted with ordinary Feng Shui masters before, and the people she learned from were all extremely skilled. Because she hadn't met ordinary Feng Shui practitioners, she naturally lacked a clear understanding and assessment of her own abilities.

When she chatted with him in the afternoon, she even subtly revealed that she came with the mindset of seeing the world and wanting to see other people's impressive methods.

As a result, she has now become worldly.

Just like him, he had never communicated with any feng shui masters before. When he saw Xia Wange easily drawing talismans, he also thought that everyone did it this way, and that this was just the minimum standard.

But now it seems that he was indeed spoiled by Xia Wange's skills. It turns out that these were all limits. Xia Wange's basic skills were indeed solid. What she lacked before was the physical condition of not being able to gather Qi, which is why she was not famous. Just like what she was thinking when she grabbed his wheelchair at the scene of the car accident.

If she had enough energy, she could become the true god of this circle.

But Lu Qiu quickly dismissed the idea.

The air in her wheelchair alone wasn't enough to keep up with her extravagant spending; she needed him too.

Don't think he didn't notice. For the past twenty minutes or so, Xia Wange had been using her Heavenly Eye to observe the bridge. When she uses her Heavenly Eye, she always has a little habit: she closes her eyes for two or three seconds and then opens them again. She does the same when she's not using it.

He remembered that when Xia Wange used it, she would quickly open it, check if it was in good working order, and then quickly close it. Unlike now...

Sigh, we still need him around, otherwise we wouldn't be able to afford it.

After dipping her fingers in cinnabar, Xia Wange initially intended to draw by pulling the paper with her hands. However, considering that so many people were watching, she decided to be a little safer. So, she leaned against the railing, bent one leg, placed the yellow paper on her thigh, and began to draw rapidly with her fingers. In the blink of an eye, a Soul-Stabilizing Talisman was completed.

When Xia Wange saw that all the masters were watching and none of them spoke, she went to the spot where the boy's urine had been splashed, found a lighter, and prepared to light it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took out her lighter, many people in the crowd immediately reached out with their hands.

"Master Xia, please wait a moment, please wait a moment, let me take a look, just a look." With that, the other party respectfully held the talisman with both hands and took it from Xia Wan's singing.

"Let me see too, Lao Zhao, let me see."

"Take a picture and send it to the group chat."

"Share this in the group chat, let me see! My God, he can draw talismans so easily? I haven't seen this skill in years. My master used to need a table to draw talismans."

"Your master is more skilled than mine. My master said he had only seen this technique in ancient books, but today I've actually witnessed it in person."

"Master Xia, let me see your cinnabar."

"Oh dear, this cinnabar is cheap, and not pure enough. Master Xia, would you do me the honor of letting me send you some cinnabar? This cinnabar is not worthy of you."

Xia Wange looked down at the cinnabar that a master had placed in her hand.

"Master Xia, do you still have any yellow paper? Let me see it."

"Hey, what a waste! Master Xia, leave your address, I'll send you some good stuff."

"Master Xia, may I take a look at your lighter?"

Xia Wange looked at the person who took her lighter and quickly said, "This is just a regular lighter, the kind that costs two yuan."

"Oh dear! Oh dear!" a master lamented, beating his chest. "I'll give you a good one: this kind of lighter is not worthy of burning this kind of talisman paper."

"Actually, I've always used white phosphorus..."

With so many people here today, she was afraid someone would say she was faking it, so she didn't dare use it.

However, her voice had long been drowned out by the noisy crowd.

Xia Wange's expression changed from shock, confusion, bewilderment, then realization, excitement, then ecstasy, and finally suppressing her ecstasy while feigning composure. These changes happened in the blink of an eye.

She belatedly realized that she seemed to be very impressive.

Taking a few steps back, Xia Wange leaned against Lu Qiu's wheelchair, her heart pounding with excitement.

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, am I really that awesome? I guess I debuted late and entered the industry late too. If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't have kept it a secret. Tonight, I would have hired someone to shower me with flower petals, and I would have done my job while stepping on them!]

No, no, arrogant people like that are just cannon fodder in TV dramas. I need to be low-key, calm, and composed!

[Oh no, I'm so upset, it's harder to suppress my smile than an AK-47. I need to think about something sad.]

The thought of my senior brother training so hard for so long, only to be ambushed and have his soul kept alive on the mountain before I could even come down to show off, makes me want to laugh even more.

[Should I try to put on an act in front of Lu Qiu from now on? Oh, bringing him today was the right decision. Isn't he a living, breathing guy? Let him tell me how awesome I am!?]

Lu Qiu didn't want to listen anymore and moved her wheelchair away a bit.

Immersed in joy, Xia Wange stumbled, glanced at Lu Qiu's wheelchair with a puzzled look, and then leaned against it.

[What's going on? Lu Qiu's brakes didn't lock again? There's nowhere to sit on the bridge, this is the only place I can lean against.]

[Ugh... How am I supposed to subtly show off in front of Lu Qiu from now on?]

From now on, I'll bathe and burn incense before drawing talismans. Doesn't that look more impressive?

[I'm so amazing, I wonder if Lu Qiu could sing "Conquer" for me, hahaha, I'm so awesome! All those years of suffering weren't for nothing!]

[Calm down, calm down, such a master! I still want to hear Lu Qiu sing "Conquer," I wish he'd kneel down and sing it. I'm on repeating the first line, hahaha!]

Lu Qiu, in his wheelchair, rested his chin on his hand, his face expressionless and his mind blank.

He moved the wheelchair aside, and Xia Wange leaned against him. He moved the wheelchair again, and Xia Wange leaned against him as if she had no bones. He couldn't even manually mute her!

I knew Xia Wange would show off, but I didn't expect her to be this smug.

Kneel down and sing "Conquer"?

Haha, how did she even come up with that idea? Her tail is practically wagging in the air, she's practically ascending to heaven!

No, no, the first line is already playing in my head.

So Lu Qiu quickly asked, "Xia Wange, will it have any negative effects if we don't burn the talisman now?"

Xia Wange immediately stood up straight, patted the wheelchair, and said, "Yes, yes, I need to hurry up and burn the talisman paper. The effect of the talisman paper will be halved once the urine smell dissipates."

[It's been halved, which will affect my ability to show off.]

Oh dear, even Lao Xia has to worry about his image now!
