Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul.

“I can handle this kind of kicking someone out by myself. Isn’t my cousin quite busy with his studies?” Li Chang’an said.

"I'm not worried about his grades."

Lu Jin waved his hand and said, "This kid has been introverted and shy since he was a child. Let him go out and broaden his horizons. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

"Besides, he hasn't been to the sect's ancestral land yet, so he should go and see it. If the two of you go together, you can look out for each other."

"That works too." Li Chang'an nodded, then changed the subject:

"Grandpa, I don't have many tricks up my sleeve. Didn't you bring a bunch of black Five Warriors to test me last time? Those things were quite intimidating, perfect for scaring away ordinary people. Can you give me a few?"

Lu Jin glanced at him, her lips twitching slightly: "So, it's me who's better at playing tricks, huh?"

Li Chang'an chuckled, ignored the remark, and stood there without changing his expression.

“Alright!” Lu Jin said, “You wait here, Grandpa will draw it for you right away.”

Lu Jin turned and walked outside.

Li Chang'an continued reading "Linji Lu" inside the room.

The Tongtianlu can conjure talismans with a single thought and draw them out of thin air, but since it is to be given to Li Chang'an, it must be sealed on talisman paper. Therefore, it is still necessary to follow the proper talisman-drawing method.

Lu Jin went to the study and neatly arranged the brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and cinnabar.

When drawing talismans, one should bathe and burn incense, then perform hand seals and chant incantations, setting up various rituals before drawing the talismans.

But Lu Jin didn't need to. With the Tongtian Talisman, even drawing a talisman in a proper way was much faster than the ordinary talisman schools.

He immediately spread out the yellow paper and began drawing talismans.

On the foot-long piece of yellow paper, Lu Jin wrote with divine inspiration, his handwriting neat and precise, neither too fast nor too slow.

First, draw the head of the talisman to invite the gods, then draw the core of the talisman to gather energy, and finally place the foot of the talisman to lock in the spirit.

The whole process was smooth and effortless, taking only a dozen seconds to complete, and a Shangqing Five Warriors Talisman was formed.

The Five Warriors are the Five Ghosts in the heavens and the Five Plagues on earth. The Five Plagues are Zhang Yuanbo (Spring Plague), Liu Yuanda (Summer Plague), Zhao Gongming (Autumn Plague), Zhong Shigui (Winter Plague), and Shi Wenye (General Manager of the Central Plague).

Among them, Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth, is also the Taoist marshal of the Xuantan altar.

Zhao Gongming holds many divine positions in Taoism, and different painting styles result in different effects.

Lu Jin picked up a pen and quickly sketched on the yellow paper in front of him. The runes glowed slightly on the paper before fading away.

Soon, more than a dozen Shangqing Five Warriors Talismans were drawn.

Lu Jin intended to stop writing there, but then suddenly remembered that during the previous arena competition, that little bastard Zhang Lingyu almost pulled out a thunder talisman to strike his own precious disciple.

"That old bastard Zhang Zhiwei knows to prepare talismans for his disciples in case of emergency, how can I fall behind?!"

With this thought in mind, Lu Jin once again lowered his shoulders and picked up his brush, continuing to draw.

Dozens of thunder talismans were cast in one go.

Next came the Wind Talisman, the Fire Talisman, and even the Dean Dai's Spell to increase leg strength, also known as the Divine Speed ​​Armor Horse.

Lu Jin drew everything that he thought Li Chang'an might need.

The pen tip flew across the talisman paper, and the Qi in my body poured onto the paper through the pen tip. Only the rustling sound of the pen tip brushing against the paper could be heard in the study.

Lu Jin stopped and took a slight breath after most of his energy had been used up.

At this moment, a thick stack of yellow talismans had been neatly piled up on the desk in front of him.

Even with his Heavenly Talisman, he felt somewhat overwhelmed by drawing so many physical talismans in one go.

An ordinary Taoist priest who practices talismans can draw a few talismans at most in a day; his efficiency is more than a hundred times higher than theirs.

Of course, with such a large difference in efficiency, the effectiveness is also different.

A properly drawn talisman lasts for between six months and a year.

The talismans he drew using the Tongtian Talisman had a significantly shorter duration.

He usually uses it by simply conjuring up a talisman with a thought and drawing it as he goes; it doesn't require any duration.

Talismans command the power of heaven and earth, and consume very little of their own energy, so they can be scattered like beans.

However, if you want to draw a paper talisman and give it to someone else to use, you must inject extra Qi when you put pen to paper to keep the talisman from dissipating.

The more Qi is injected, the longer the talisman's validity period.

Considering that Li Chang'an's round trip wouldn't take long, Lu Jin didn't deliberately pursue a longer journey.

The effects of these talismans can last for about a week.

A week later, the Qi on the yellow paper will dissipate and it will turn into ordinary waste paper.

Looking at the table full of talismans, Lu Jin frowned. So many, it was really not easy to carry them all.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a cable tie from the drawer, tied the talismans into a bundle, held it in his hand, and then pushed open the door to go out.

On the other side, Li Chang'an had finished reading the book and was now refining the magic sword.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, the eight-sided Han sword resting flat on his knees. His hands were placed on the two ends of the sword, and white energy emanated from his palms, slowly seeping into the patterns on the sword.

The white energy flows within the sword's body along those extremely subtle meridians, tracing a complex energy circulation path.

Each time a cycle is completed, the sword trembles slightly and emits a soft white light.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Li Chang'an opened his eyes, the white qi on his palm disappeared, and the humming of the sword also stopped.

"Please come in!"

The door opened, and Lu Jin walked in, carrying a large bundle of yellow talismans and laughing loudly.

"Chang'an, look what your grandfather brought you."

Li Chang'an glanced at the yellow paper Lu Jin was carrying; it was such a large bundle, and he hadn't even considered that it might be a talisman.

"Grandpa, are you bringing so much paper money so that I can burn it for our ancestors when we get to the ancestral land?"

Chapter 109 Arrogance

Lu Jin looked at Li Chang'an's serious face.

The child wasn't joking; he genuinely believed it was paper money.

Lu Jin suddenly felt a sense of frustration, as if her talents had been wasted.

He looked down again at the large bundle of yellow talismans he was carrying.

Suddenly, he also felt that this bundle looked more like paper money than talismans.

It was too hasty; the packaging was too careless.

"What paper money? Is this paper money?"

Lu Jin placed the talisman heavily on the stone table in Li Chang'an's courtyard.

"This is the talisman I drew for you."

"Talismans?"

Li Chang'an stared in shock at the large bundle of yellow paper on the table.

He estimated the thickness; there must be at least several hundred sheets.

"Grandpa, you're being too extravagant. There's no need for so much."

"Just in case. When you're out and about, it's always good to have extra supplies in case of unexpected situations. Besides..."

Lu Jin paused, then snorted coldly: "That little bastard Zhang Lingyu almost pulled out a lightning talisman to strike you during the last competition. Next time you compete, Grandpa will prepare another one for you. If he dares to throw talismans at you, just pull out this whole bundle and smash it over his head!"

Li Chang'an weighed the bundle of talismans in his hand; they felt heavy. Imagine the scene: Zhang Lingyu took out a single talisman, while he pulled out a whole bundle. What kind of expression would the other person have?

"Grandpa, if we throw hundreds of talismans down at once, won't we turn Zhang Lingyu to ashes?"

“That makes sense. We need to be careful. He can do what he says, but we can’t do what he says,” Lu Jin said.

Li Chang'an untied a ribbon, picked up several pieces of yellow paper and looked at them; the cinnabar patterns on them were all different.

"Grandpa, what kinds of talismans are in here?"

Lu Jin reached out and took out a few sheets, explaining, "These are the Five Warriors of Shangqing Talismans. I drew dozens of them. When you encounter trouble, you can summon warriors to help you out."

"These are thunder talismans, there are dozens of them. These are wind talismans, and these are fire talismans..."

"And this is Dean Dai's spell, also called the Divine Speed ​​Armor Horse, which is used for traveling. As for the rest of these miscellaneous items, you can look through them yourself."

Li Chang'an looked at the huge pile of various talismans and said, "There are too many and too many different kinds."

"It's better to have extra self-defense tools than to be poor when traveling. It makes me feel more at ease."

Lu Jin said, "These talismans only last for a week. You can study how to use them. It doesn't hurt to use a few more. You'll know how to use them once you get the hang of it. However, don't try some of the talismans in the courtyard. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."

Li Chang'an nodded.

After Lu Jin left, Li Chang'an carried the bundle of talismans to the back mountain.

Li Chang'an pulled out a "Dean Dai's Curse" card with a picture of a galloping horse and slapped it on his leg.

A warm energy flowed into the body from where the talisman was applied to the skin, and then flowed down the meridians to the soles of the feet.

Li Chang'an felt his legs become incredibly light instantly, as if they had been freed from the constraints of gravity.

With a light tap of his toes, he shot out like an arrow.

Its speed is incredibly fast, giving one the feeling of floating on air and riding the wind.

Li Chang'an moved swiftly through the woods, his feet barely making a sound as he stepped over the fallen leaves.

After testing it out, Li Chang'an stopped and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he took out a black talisman with red patterns, representing the Five Warriors of Shangqing.

He poured his Qi into it and flung it to the ground.

"boom!"

The talisman transformed into a wisp of pure energy, within which five burly warriors, each two meters tall, entirely black, and with indistinct faces, appeared before him.

They stood silently, like five iron towers, without breathing, awaiting Li Chang'an's instructions.

With a thought, Li Chang'an summoned five strongmen who lined up in a row.

"Take a break!"

Five strongmen simultaneously stretched out one foot.

"stand at attention!"

The five strongmen stood straight.

"running!"

Five strongmen ran a lap around the open space, their movements perfectly synchronized, their footsteps making a dull thud.

"This is interesting. Pretending to be a god or ghost is best. No, strictly speaking, they are the power to command gods and spirits, so it doesn't count as pretending to be a god or ghost."

With a thought, Li Chang'an instantly turned the five warriors into black smoke and vanished.

Then, Li Chang'an took out a Five Thunder Talisman.

He placed the talisman flat on the palm of his right hand.

The moment the Qi surged in, the patterns on the yellow paper instantly lit up with a dazzling blue-white light.

Li Chang'an raised his hand.

"Boom!"

A burst of blazing lightning erupted from his palm.

The lightning tore through the air, shattering a blue stone in front of them into pieces, leaving a charred and smoking crater.

"It's quite powerful. No wonder Zhang Lingyu liked to use it so much later on."

After testing a few more talismans, Li Chang'an re-tied up the remaining talismans and carried them back to the courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Lu Lin standing there waiting for him.
