Chapter 127

The Frost Talisman was a middle-grade talisman of similar difficulty to the Earth Escape Talisman.

But the problem was that she had never taught Lu Changsheng the Frost Talisman.

It was just over four months ago that she taught Lu Changsheng the Earth Escape Talisman.

For Lu Changsheng to have reached such proficiency with the Earth Escape Talisman in four months was already incredibly surprising....

Yet now, Lu Changsheng was telling her that not only had he mastered the Earth Escape Talisman, but he had also managed to grasp the basics of the Frost Talisman on his own.

How could she not be shocked?

Under the Fourth Elder’s watchful eye, Lu Changsheng clumsily began to draw the Frost Talisman.

As expected, the first attempt naturally ended in failure. “When you’re drawing, the flow of your spiritual power isn’t smooth enough, which causes it to dissipate a bit…”

On seeing this, the Fourth Elder gently pointed out the issue in a mild tone. “Yes, Grandmother,” Lu Changsheng nodded, then continued drawing again.

But it was still a failure.

The Fourth Elder continued to identify the problem.

However, her look at Lu Changsheng was different now.

She could tell that Lu Changsheng did indeed have a certain degree of proficiency with the Frost Talisman.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng took a sip of White Jade Hundred Flowers Wine and started his third attempt at drawing.

Finally, under the Fourth Elder’s gaze, Lu Changsheng ‘fortunately’ managed to successfully draw the Frost Talisman. “Although it’s still not proficient, it’s evident that you have indeed grasped the basics of the Frost Talisman,”

The Fourth Elder looked at the Frost Talisman, her expression full of surprise and delight, but also somewhat incredulous.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have never believed that Lu Changsheng could become so skilled with the Earth Escape Talisman in just over four months.

While also mastering the basics of the Frost Talisman.

This talent for Talisman Making was simply… completely beyond what Lu Changsheng had displayed before in his talismanic aptitude. “Changsheng, how did you do it?” “I heard from the Second Elder that during this period at Nine Dragons Market, you have taken quite a few concubines into your residence, some of whom you are indulging in…”

The Fourth Elder began, her tone also uncertain what to say next.

She had actually planned to use this check on his Talisman-Making Skill as an excuse to give Lu Changsheng a little scolding.

But to her surprise, Lu Changsheng’s talisman-making skills had not only not deteriorated in the slightest.

They were unexpectedly much more advanced than before.

She was momentarily dumbfounded.

She even doubted whether the Second Elder had been deceiving her.

After all, how could someone who spends his days indulging in pleasures and fathering children have so much energy to devote to Talisman Making?

Upon hearing the Fourth Elder’s words, Lu Changsheng thought to himself that the Second Elder had indeed told her about these matters.

He fell silent, saying nothing. “It’s fine, as long as your cultivation and your pursuit of the Talisman Path are not delayed,” said the Fourth Elder, not pressing him further upon seeing his silence.

After all, with Lu Changsheng performing so excellently in Talisman Making, what more could she say?

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng bit his lip and responded, “I won’t hide it from you, Grandmother, and you might not believe these words.” “I have found that after being intimate, drawing talismans afterward feels extremely smooth.” “Even those aspects of Talisman Making I didn’t understand or couldn’t figure out, after being intimate more frequently, my thoughts started to clear up much more, and drawing talismans felt almost effortless,” Lu Changsheng stated.

This was an excuse Lu Changsheng had come up with after some thought, to justify why he seemed so naturally gifted on the Talisman Path, as well as why he had taken multiple wives and concubines to bear his children.

As for how plausible this reason sounded, it wasn’t too far-fetched within the Cultivation World.

Not to mention that there was a precedence that could very well explain what Lu Changsheng had said.

Spiritual Body!

In the Cultivation World, there are a myriad of Spiritual Bodies, such as the ‘Five Elements Spiritual Body’ that boosts cultivation, the ‘Charming Female Body’ that is beneficial for dual cultivation, the ‘Calamitous Poison Body’ for poison cultivators, the ‘Supreme Sword Bone’ for sword cultivators… and many more.

Among these, there are certainly some that are specifically related to the Talisman Path.

These specific bodies make one naturally attuned with the Great Dao of talismans, allowing rapid advancement in Talisman Making.

As for whether there’s a sort of body that improves one’s Talisman-Making Skill through intimacy, Lu Changsheng didn’t know if such a thing existed.

But the world is vast; who’s to say for certain?

Moreover, Spiritual Bodies can be either manifest or latent.

The Lu Family, being merely a Foundation Establishment Family, could not be expected to have a deep understanding or extensive research into Spiritual Bodies.

That’s why Lu Changsheng dared to attribute his condition to having a potentially latent Spiritual Body.

As for whether this pretense would bring any trouble, Lu Changsheng wasn’t worried.

After all, his condition wasn’t that outlandish; it was simply a relatively unusual aptitude for the Talisman Path.

The Lu Family certainly wouldn’t cause any trouble over such a matter.

Perhaps, on the contrary, due to this development, his talent and potential would be further acknowledged, thus adding another layer of expectation to him.
