Chapter 79 Red sleeves add fragrance
Qin Yun Xiaozhu.

In the study room.

Ah Zhu washes her brush and Ah Bi grinds ink.

Li Anran closed his eyes and concentrated. When his essence, energy and spirit were integrated into one and his own state was adjusted to the best, he took the wolf-hair brush from Ah Zhu's hand, dipped it in cinnabar red ink, and put his luck on the yellow paper.

When he put pen to paper, he wrote very carefully and slowly, but after the pen was put down, he suddenly became faster.

The smooth and elastic wolf hair brush moved from top to bottom, leaving a thin mark on the yellow paper. The brush tip flowed and sketched lightly, and soon a complex and intricate pattern was outlined.

The moment the pen tip was raised, the blood-red cinnabar suddenly lit up, as if it was about to fly out of the paper.

This strange phenomenon lasted for two or three seconds before fading away again. However, the originally complex and intricate pattern had become mysterious, with an indescribable charm.

"Master, was it successful this time?" Only then did Azhu and Abi dare to ask.

Li Anran nodded and also breathed a sigh of relief.

Glance to the upper left of your field of vision.

[Taoism +1]

[Taoism Level 1 (34/100)]

The wastebasket beside the table was already filled with discarded yellow paper.

The mismatch between his [internal power] and [Taoism] is like the hardware not being able to keep up with the software, which makes his success rate and efficiency in drawing talismans extremely low.

On average, only one out of every hundred is successful, and you get 1 point of experience!
And every time he drew a talisman, he had to concentrate all his energy and the preparation work took several minutes!

Fortunately, as long as he devotes himself to it, he can gain experience points regardless of success or failure!
The only difference is that the experience value for success is only one point, while for failure it is only one tenth!

As his experience increased, his mastery of talismans continued to improve. He estimated that by the time he upgraded his [Taoism] to level 2, he would be able to increase his success rate to about one tenth!

By then it will be relatively easier to gain experience points.

"Master, what kind of talisman is this? Why does it look different from the previous ones?" A Bi couldn't help but ask.

"The previous one is for healing, this one is for protecting the body." Seeing Ah Bi's curious face, Li Anran folded the talisman paper into a square and handed it to her: "This is for you."

"No! No!" Ah Bi waved her hands in fear and said, "Master has already used one on me today, I can't take it again! Otherwise...or else give it to Sister Ah Zhu!"

"All of them! All of them!"

Li Anran stuffed the protective amulet into A-Bi's hand, and handed the healing amulet he had drawn earlier to A-Zhu.

Li Anran's understanding of the soul is still shallow, and he cannot directly control his own soul, but he can indirectly mobilize a trace of the soul's power through the circulation of true qi to complete the talisman.

Therefore, the nature of the true qi he circulates determines the effect of the talisman.

Zixia Qi can cure diseases and heal injuries.

Ice Qi, deceleration and control.

Sunflower Qi, increase speed.

……

Li Anran's current level of talisman making is at the most basic and primitive stage. He can only store his own true energy on the talisman and set an activation condition for it.

The effectiveness of these talismans depends entirely on the amount of true energy he infuses into them, and is limited by their own endurance.

The upper limit of the talisman's endurance is determined by the quality of the yellow paper, cinnabar and the talisman on it!
Because there are no real immortal cultivators in this world, or rather, there are no real immortal cultivators among those who write books!
The talismans and other contents in the Taoist books that A-Bi and A-Zhu found for him were mostly imaginary. They could be used as a source of inspiration, but they did not have much reference value.

The runes drawn by Li Anran were all created by him based on his own understanding of these Qigong techniques.

The upper limit of these talismans is only one percent of his own true energy.

Therefore, these talismans are not easy to draw, but they are of little use to him. The main purpose is to gain experience points, so he naturally does not feel sorry to give them to others.

Azhu and Abi didn't know this.

They only saw that Li Anran spent an entire afternoon to draw two talismans, and they thought that the talismans were extremely precious. At this time, they saw Li Anran giving them such a precious thing.

A-Bi was feeling anxious and worried, still thinking about refusing.

Ah Zhu snatched it away and bowed tenderly, "Thank you for the reward, Master."

Li Anran said: "Just do what I tell you to do."

Li Anran studied [Taoism] more out of interest in cultivating immortals. He did not forget that the most important thing for him now was to obtain the qualification to go to the next world.

He planned to upgrade eight skills to the maximum level first, and when it came to the last one, he would control the experience gain and then practice other skills, especially [Internal Strength].

The core of the skill panel is time!
He wants to make the most of his time, and then move on to the next world when his life is almost over!
Li Anran asked Azhu and Abi to help him recruit masters and talents from all walks of life, no matter they were good at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, divination or physiognomy, he would not let any of them go.

Although he can improve continuously as long as he practices, and self-study is not a problem, his efficiency will be much higher if he has a teacher to guide him.

"Don't worry, sir. Leave this matter to us." Azhu and Abi said in unison.

Li Anran nodded.

This is what he is most satisfied with about Azhu and Abi: they just do their work and never ask questions that are not necessary.

Just like they had clearly seen that his talismans were so mysterious and beyond common sense, but they never asked about the origin of the talisman-making technique from beginning to end.

After returning to Chanhe Manor, Li Anran did not draw talismans again, nor did he go to the Shishui Pavilion. Instead, he went to the study, found a copy of famous calligraphy, and slowly copied it.

【Calligraphy+113】

【Calligraphy+113】

【Calligraphy+113】

……

Murong's ancestors did not like reading, but they also loved to pretend to be cultured and collected many famous calligraphy and paintings, which now came in handy for Li Anran.

Time flies, and it is the third anniversary of Murong Bo's death.

In ancient times, mourning usually lasted for three years.

In Murong Fu's original plan, once today's anniversary was over, it would be time for him to come out and travel the world to restore the reputation of the Murong family.

Li Anran naturally had no such plan.

In the past, family generals such as Deng Baichuan and Gong Yeqian would have certainly spoken out their opinions.

However, after hearing what he said last time, Deng Baichuan and Gong Yeqian regarded Li Anran as a man of great talent and strategy. Naturally, they did not dare to have any objection to Li Anran's decision. They only praised him, "Young Master, you are right! What we do cannot be seen in public. It is much better to keep a low profile than to show off!"

As for Bao Bu Tong and Feng Bo'e, they are unscrupulous in front of outsiders, but they are respectful and honest in front of their lord Li Anran and their two brothers Deng Baichuan and Gong Yeqian.

Although there were some objections, he didn't say much.

The only twist in the whole thing was that the people from Mantuo Villa, who were supposed to participate in the sacrifice, did not come.

Mrs. Wang, the widow of Murong Fu's uncle and the current owner of Mantuo Villa, also passed on a message through A-Bi: "The affairs of Chanhe Villa have nothing to do with Mantuo Villa. It's best for the two families to have less contact in the future."

Deng Baichuan, Gong Yeqian and others were quite angry about this.

Li Anran was not surprised.

Murong Fu's mother always suspected that Mrs. Wang was having an affair when she was alive, and she often made sarcastic remarks to Mrs. Wang.

The two of them had a big fight over this.

As a result, the relationship between Chanhe Manor and Mantuo Manor also cooled.

After Murong Fu's uncle and Murong Fu's parents passed away one after another, the contacts between the two families became less and less.

It is understandable that Mantuo Villa wants to sever ties with Chanhe Villa.
