Long before my master taught me to draw the first Talisman, he told me that among the Eight Treasures Mystique, the most popular was Talisman Magic. At the same time, it was also the most difficult to cultivate! Simply drawing a Talisman does not equate to mastering Talisman Magic; that would only mean being able to use that particular Talisman. The true challenge of Talisman Magic lies in forging a path in Talismanic Arts that is uniquely your own. 0
 
The other seven branches of the Eight Treasures Mystique, even the most ethereal Transcendental Sutra, have discernible methods for cultivation. However, Talisman Magic is different; it not only lacks a clear path but also cannot borrow from the roads traveled by predecessors. Talisman Magic is the most personal existence a cultivator can possess! 0
 
My Talisman Magic might be completely rudimentary, limited to using a few practical primitive symbols, let alone my own Fate Talisman. However, after I was able to utilize my vast Divine Power, I attempted to incorporate this Divine Power into my talisman drawings and unexpectedly discovered that symbols infused with Divine Power do not require any medium. This realization led me to develop my current Void Conjuration. 0
 
The greatest feature of Void Conjuration is that I no longer need to prepare large amounts of yellow paper at all times. However, this also brings about significant drawbacks, particularly the severe consumption of Divine Power. Nevertheless, compared to flying with sword control, this is trivial. 0
 
Someone might ask, weren't you already drawing symbols in the void? It's different; previously I used simple symbols formed from magical power, but once my magical power transformed from gold to Azure, that method of drawing symbols became particularly taxing on my magic. Moreover, drawing a Talisman took much longer. But now with my Void Conjuration, not only can I skip the process of controlling magical power to form symbols and the required magic, but I can also draw any symbol I've learned in the void, with power several times greater than those drawn on yellow paper! 0
 
With Azure magical power flowing from my fingers in the semi-void, I drew a Clear Mind Talisman nearly as large as a person. There was a reason for making it this big: first, I was afraid of missing Wang Ni; second, a larger size means greater power. 0
 
"Talisman complete, go!" I pointed at Wang Ni, and the freshly drawn Clear Mind Talisman flew towards her like a kite severed from its string. 0
 
Wang Ni did not dodge and was struck directly by the Clear Mind Talisman. She must be in a state of confusion; otherwise, why wouldn't she evade? Previously during her fight with Red Boy, she acted similarly—focused solely on offense without any defensive posture. As they say, offense is the best defense; thus, under Red Boy's reluctance to harm Wang Ni, he was completely suppressed by her. 0
 
Earlier on the ground, I hadn't noticed it; now I finally understood what Red Boy meant by Wang Ni's "madness." Her eyes had turned red, resembling Zhang Fan in his berserk state. However, Zhang Fan's condition stemmed from bloodline power—essentially an adrenaline rush. Wang Ni's state was different; it was clearly a release of pent-up anger! 0
 
I had long known that Wang Ni possessed immense magical power, but I never expected it could erupt like a volcano! 0
 
"Ango!" Red Boy shouted in panic, waking me from my reverie. When I looked up, Wang Ni's magical power had already returned to her body. 0
 
Without the support of her magic, Wang Ni plummeted from mid-air. 0
 
"What the hell!" I exclaimed. At this height, if she fell headfirst to the ground, only Uncle Xing would survive! Don't ask me why; it's because that guy has no brain! 0
 
In that instant, both Red Boy and I moved simultaneously toward the falling Wang Ni. However, Red Boy was closer and managed to catch her just before they hit the ground. 0
 
 
Red Boy decisively threw Wang Ni away, aiming directly at me, who was also rushing towards Wang Ni. 0
 
A shadow flew towards me, and I instinctively caught it, reaching out to check Wang Ni's breathing. Thankfully, it was normal. 0
 
After throwing Wang Ni, Red Boy descended rapidly due to the reaction force. However, he quickly came up with a plan, using the Fire Spear to propel himself off the ground, bouncing back up and stabilizing himself in mid-air. 0
 
"Great job, Hong!" I couldn't help but praise him. "Once Wang Ni wakes up, we have to give her a good scolding. Damn it, she wouldn't let us sleep in the middle of the night and made us work overtime." 0
 
Red Boy scratched his head awkwardly and flew off to retrieve the Fire Spear he had just thrown. He spun it in his palm before putting it away. 0
 
"I'm fine with it, Ango, but Sister Wang Ni is already awake. I think it's going to be tough for you to scold her right in front of her." 0
 
I looked down and saw that indeed, Wang Ni was awake. This lady had just been unconscious and now suddenly woke up; wasn't she just teasing me? 0
 
"Awake?" I asked. "Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?" 0
 
This was quite a turn of events; I needed to act quickly or else Wang Ni would catch on before I could react. 0
 
"How long are you going to hold me?" Wang Ni blushed slightly, unusually showing no signs of anger. 0
 
"Oh, oh, I'll let go right away." I immediately released my grip. 0
 
People tend to make mistakes when they panic. Letting go immediately was the right thing to do, but I should have waited until I was safely down from the half-suspended sword handle; we were still about two meters off the ground. 0
 
With a loud thud, Wang Ni fell hard onto her back. 0
 
"Uh, uh, Ango, I just remembered that we have meat simmering at home. I need to hurry back and turn off the gas!" Before I could respond, Red Boy transformed into a flash of fire and dashed away. 0
 
 
I can't believe it, are we not brothers anymore? You just ran away? I flipped off the direction Red Boy had left. If you're going to make excuses, at least find a good one. Do we even have a kitchen in our basement? You're just going to stew meat? Also, Red Boy, aren't you a vegetarian? Are you kidding me??? 0
 
“Yin! Zheng! An!” Wang Ni got up from the ground, holding her waist. I'm not worried about her hurting her bones or organs, but the bruises on her back are probably unavoidable. 0
 
“Master, it's our family's mistake. Please calm down.” I placed my left hand over my right, palm up, forcing a smile that looked worse than crying as I slowly lowered myself. 0
 
“Don't think you can just pass this semester without earning enough credits!” Wang Ni shouted angrily! 0
 
Hey, it's just credits. I wasn't planning on completing them anyway. I thought you were trying to take my eggs; what’s there to be afraid of? 0
 
However, I do want to thank a classmate here and apologize to him. That classmate is our Zhang Fan! Previously, Zhang Fan bought me a wheelchair, and I scolded him for it at the time. Looking back now, I really wronged him; it seems he knew all along that I would eventually need that wheelchair. 0
 
And here we are! I'm pushing Wang Ni, who is groaning while holding her waist, on the way home in the wheelchair. 0
 
“By the way, why did you suddenly go to my house?” I'm really curious about why Wang Ni lost control but didn't dare to ask directly, so I had to beat around the bush. 0
 
“Do you think I went there for you? It was Lin Miaomiao who wanted me to go to her house to try her cooking!” 0
 
“Lin Miaomiao? What cooking? Is she actually learning how to cook?” 0
 
“What do you mean learning? I'm the one who cooks for her every time,” Wang Ni huffed. 0
 
Exactly! That's more like Lin Miaomiao's style! 0
 
“You could have chosen not to go.” 0
 
 
"I am alone anyway, so staying with Lin Miaomiao is still some company." Wang Ni suddenly became melancholic. "By the way, is that dog in your room yours?" 0
 
Wang Ni must be referring to Pixiu. I don't know what Pixiu did to make Wang Ni lose control like this. Did Pixiu turn into a fierce beast upon seeing Wang Ni? 0
 
"Uh, what's wrong? Are you still allergic to dogs?" 0
 
"Not really." Wang Ni rubbed her head. "I heard some noises in your room, and since Red Boy wasn't back, I thought a thief had come in. I didn't expect to find that dog when I opened the door, and then I suddenly felt extremely angry, uncontrollably so. When I came to my senses, I heard you were trying to trick me! Yin Zheng'an, you actually planned to deceive me!" 0
 
"Oh come on, don't focus on those details! You haven't even heard the rest yet." 0
 
Damn it, now she reminded me of it; didn't I just jump into a pit myself? What a foolish mistake! 0
 
"What rest? All I remember is that you were going to trick me!" Wang Ni said fiercely. 0
 
"Hey, you're my homeroom teacher. Isn't it no big deal to treat your proud student to a meal?" I weakly defended myself. 0
 
"Then isn't it only right for you to treat your own homeroom teacher?" Wang Ni replied slyly. 0
 
"Alright, alright." I said helplessly. "Next time, I'll treat you, okay?" 0
 
Damn it, clearly I was the one trying to trick her, and now it turned into me treating her to dinner. It's tough for anyone to treat Wang Ni to a meal; I should be secretly pleased about this. 0
 
After dropping Wang Ni off at the school staff dormitory, I was misunderstood by the dormitory manager. It took quite a while to clarify that I was just bringing my injured homeroom teacher back. 0
 
On the way home, I checked the time and realized it was already early morning. Ever since the Drowned Ghost incident, I hadn't had a single peaceful night's sleep! I'm not like Meng Jiangnu who doesn't need sleep; I also need time to recover the magic power I've used while sleeping! 0
 
 
"Ah~~~" As I walked down the road, I couldn't help but yawn, and then suddenly remembered the jade pendant that Pixiu had turned into. Wasn't that guy reverted back to his original form? But why was Wang Ni so furious upon seeing Pixiu? Moreover, why was Wang Ni chasing after Pixiu to hit him? And what was that immense magical power within Wang Ni? Could it be that Wang Ni was also a divine beast? No way, could such a violent temperament belong to a divine beast? Perhaps it was just a wild horse? 0
 
I quickly shook my head; I mustn't think like that. I still want to live for a few more years. 0
 
"Hey, Yin Zheng'an!" A very faint voice came from the jade pendant, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed Pixiu. 0
 
"Wow, you're still alive?" 0
 
"Of course!" Pixiu snorted coldly. "That woman has left, right?" 0
 
"Yes." 0
 
"That's good." Pixiu seemed relieved. 0
 
"Do you have a grudge against her?" 0
 
"You'll find out later." Pixiu. 0
 
Could it be that they had some past grievances from a previous life? 0
