Chapter 11: The Talisman

After a period of decadence, Yan Han returned to Sanqing Pavilion to complete the task he had not yet completed. He began to write and transcribe the most majestic classics of the Sanqing Pavilion: the talisman and the formation scriptures.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, six years have passed...

Yan Han also copied books in Sanqing Pavilion for nine years!

Not only did he copy all the books in the Sanqing Pavilion, but he could also ensure that all the books in the collection had at least two copies, and he almost completed Ye Shi's impossible task.

There are many books that Yan Han is interested in, and whenever he finishes copying, he must practice them himself. Most of the time, Yan Han copied books during the day and explored various techniques at night.

When Yan Han memorized all the thick, book-by-book recipes, medicines, talismans, formations, alchemy, and mental methods, he was already approaching the age of a weak crown before he knew it.

Today, Sanqing Pavilion has a new look under the management of Yan Han. Yan Han removed the old books from the shelves and sealed them in a wooden box. In Yan Han's view, these old books are all unique and priceless treasures. After that, Yan Han placed the brand-new manuscripts neatly on the shelves one by one for his disciples to consult.

When the space was insufficient, Yan Han customized five rows of bookshelves for the Sanqing Pavilion, so that many books that had nowhere to be placed also had a place to be placed. At the same time, in order to prevent mildew and insect damage, Yan Han designed a magic circle in the Sanqing Pavilion to reduce the humidity in the house and release spiritual power fluctuations to repel insects. Since then, the books of Sanqing Pavilion have no longer been moldy and moth-eaten.

It's a pity that under Yan Han's careful care of Sanqing Pavilion, there are very few people who come to read the book. It's been a long time since a Zixiao Mountain disciple has come to Sanqing Pavilion to consult the classics. The disciples of Qianshan seem to have always regarded Sanqing Pavilion as a warehouse for waste books, and every once in a while, some unwanted books will be moved.

Yan Han often sighed that no one paid attention to such a good resource.

For so many years, Yan Han has carefully managed the Sanqing Pavilion, and his Inner Dan cultivation has not grown six years ago, in the eyes of many Houshan disciples, Yan Han is Ye Shi's successor, and his fate is basically fixed in the list of "mediocre talents".

But Yan Han didn't feel sorry, because he liked it.

At this time, Yan Han was concentrating on the study of talismans and formations, and he found that the content of these two unpopular techniques was vast and profound, and the mysteries were endless.

According to the records in the book, the talisman technique, which originated from the ancient witch clan, is a pattern written with spiritual power, and borrows the power of nature to play a role.

Yan Han picked up a piece of yellow paper and began to try to depict the Dao pattern with his spiritual thoughts, but after practicing for a month it had no effect, he even thought that the content recorded in the Fu Gong book might be some absurd and bizarre things.

However, by chance, Yan Han was bitten by a poisonous snake, and in order to remove the venom, Yan Han used one of the most irritating drugs on the skin.

After Yan Han had just applied this medicine, the pain that pierced his heart almost made him faint, and for a moment, his eyes were dilated, and his spirit seemed to be withdrawn. The pain at that moment made Yan Han concentrate all his energy, staring straight at the yellow paper spread on the table, as if he wanted to count out the delicate fibers of wood pulp one by one.

At this moment, Yan Han found a dark red dot appearing on the yellow paper, and his spiritual power finally reacted to the yellow paper!

Afterwards, Yan Han was ecstatic, he realized that yellow paper is the most sensitive material to people's spiritual power, which just verifies the record of the Fu Gong classics, spiritual power exists, and in the classics this spiritual power is called mental power!

For a long time afterward, Yan Han continued to practice his telekinesis. What Yan Han didn't know was that when he was concentrating on studying the side door, he had inadvertently become the only remaining talisman master of the Shenxiao Sect.

It's no wonder, after all, in people's consciousness, the energy of the talisman technique is weak and useless. For example, the fire talisman is just a flame that burns paper talismans. And the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, with the aura of the first Fang Immortal Sect in the Fang Immortal Continent on their heads, are arrogant and arrogant, and they disdain this kind of "side-door and left-path technique".

But Yan Han was different, he had suffered a blow from the clumsy immortal root, and the inner Dan cultivation was hopeless to break through. He never had the luxury of becoming an archmage in the future, so he could only continue to explore the value of other methods.

Yan Han found that there were many strange patterns recorded in the talisman classics, which were used to deal with demons and monsters, although demons and monsters could not be seen, but the method of controlling things recorded above was quite practical. And what interests Yan Han the most is that if the talisman technique reaches a certain realm, it can shield objects with spiritual power. In other words, a talisman can make the magic weapon in the hand of the magician temporarily lose energy. But Yan Han thought that this kind of talisman had a greater value, and he faintly remembered the giant sword array that day.

The giant sword array of the Red Emperor Garden is to protect the low-level disciples of the back mountain who have not cultivated any mental techniques.

Yan Han took advantage of the moonlight to come to the giant sword array.

This was the thirteenth time he had tried to dissolve the spiritual power of the giant sword, and each time before, he had failed to completely dissolve the spiritual power on the sword's body.

Yan Han knew that in order to really exert the powerful effect of the talisman, not only did he require his own talisman skills to be very profound, but he was also quite particular about the production of yellow paper, and this time he personally made a batch of high-quality yellow paper.

Some of the paper of the talisman is dyed with pigments, and some are pulp made by collecting a spiritual plant that produces yellow pulp. Their effects can be heaven and earth. This time, the talisman Yan Han was holding was made of yellow pulp.

Yan Han walked to a giant sword and very skillfully spread out a four-inch-long piece of yellow paper in the palm of his hand, he closed his eyes and gently felt the imprint left by the spiritual power of the giant sword on the yellow paper.

After a while, the surface of the yellow paper really showed some strange lines, chaotic, but it seemed to have regularity and such elegantness.

This is the trajectory of the spiritual power of the Giant Sword Array!

Yan Han immediately concentrated his mind and used his mental power to depict the Dao pattern on the yellow paper, and the generation of the Dao pattern was also carried out according to the spiritual power trajectory of the giant sword array.

Yan Han closed his lips tightly, frowned, and insisted...

Yan Han's Dao pattern and the spiritual power trajectory of the giant sword array were kneaded together in this way, echoing each other, and even forming some symbols, and the yellow paper became flickering and dark, as if it had life.

After a cup of tea, Yan Han felt that the time had come, and his palm suddenly slapped the yellow paper on the giant sword.

The greatsword trembled slightly, and then a miracle happened, and the light of the greatsword actually dimmed.

"It's finally successful!" Yan Han was excited.

Unexpectedly, these giant swords have been absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth here for a long time, and their energy has reached such a strong level.

Yan Han learned through the records of the Sanqing Pavilion that five hundred years ago, Ju Chuanzi built 4,223 giant swords, surrounded the Red Emperor Garden, and formed a formation to prevent the more ferocious demon beasts in the wild from breaking in and harming the disciples of the Red Emperor Garden.

At that time, these giant swords were just some mortal iron, and only a few of them were made of spirit stones, but after hundreds of years of precipitation, these giant swords had absorbed a large amount of spiritual power. The energy gathered by the huge sword body made each giant sword no less than a spiritual weapon.

It's a pity that these giant swords are dead things, and the spiritual power will disappear because of the movement of the sword body, otherwise with these huge number of spiritual weapons alone, Zixiao Guan is enough to be rich and rival the country.

Yan Han's success this time had already proved that he was capable of sealing a spirit level magic weapon for a short time. Magic weapons are the talisman weapons of the magicians, they rely on the magic weapon to exert stronger spells, once the magic weapon fails, it is equivalent to cutting off one of their arms.

According to the records of the Sanqing Pavilion on all kinds of divine weapons in the world. The magic weapons of the magicians are divided into four categories, from the lowest to the highest: spiritual weapons, true weapons, holy weapons, and immortal weapons. It is said that the immortal artifact has become an extraordinary thing, and few people have seen it.

And the holy weapon is often the treasure of the major Fang Immortal sects, and it is also hard to find. In fact, there are very few people in the entire Shenxiao Sect who have holy weapons, and there are not many magicians who have real weapons.

According to historical records, Zixiao Mountain has a holy weapon, that is, the Qingping Sword. Yan Han asked Yan Jingsu, but he didn't know about it.

Yan Han patted the sword body lightly, and thought to himself: "Many years ago, I was injured by your heart and lungs, so I hung in your hands, and now I finally subdue you!"

This talisman can only seal the time of the giant sword's half-pillar incense, and then the giant sword will regain its spiritual power, so Yan Han is hesitating whether he needs to go out for a while.

The purpose of Yan Han's trip was not to go down the mountain and go home, he had been studying the formation recently, he wanted to go out and catch a spirit beast to practice the magic circle he had arranged, and see if it could be effective against living creatures.

Yan Han heard that most of the disciples in Qianshan went to the wild to find spirit beasts for training under the leadership of their senior brothers or masters.

The spiritual power emitted by the spirit beast is very similar to the meridian structure of the magician, so it is the best way to verify the magic circle.

But if Yan Han went out, wouldn't it be very dangerous if he couldn't open the sword formation in the way he had just done when he came back, and he didn't know the power of the spirit beast yet.

Yan Han had only learned the two most basic auxiliary mental methods of the Shenxiao Sect, Xuanjia Technique and Qianqian Divine Appearance, but they were not offensive mental methods, so he could only rely on ordinary physical attacks.

Moreover, his current Inner Dan spiritual power has not yet reached the level of the Middle Heaven Realm, and the Xuanjia Technique will be greatly reduced.

Yan Han forced himself not to think too much, so he mustered up a little courage, held a copper rod in his hand, and walked out of the giant sword formation in this way.

As soon as Yan Han stepped into the wilderness, he found that the giant sword array seemed to be a distinct boundary of human activities, out of the giant sword array, the surrounding forests were ghostly, the trees were fangs and claws, luxuriant and dense and opaque, an indescribable kind of eerie horror.

Strange cries of insects and birds were everywhere, and the roar of wild beasts mingled with the sound of the wind blowing, making people's scalps tingle.

I heard that the periphery of the Giant Sword Array was an area close to the Demon Realm Forest, so it was no wonder that Yanjing Su never went in this direction to collect medicine.

Yan Han identified the direction and continued to go deeper. After a while, a horizontal log in front of him was several hugs thick and blocked his view. It was supposed to be a towering tree, which had been blown down by the wind, and lay there, so rotten that only a single trunk remained, and at first glance it looked like a mound.

Yan Han was about to go around, when suddenly a wolf roar frightened him into a stumble and almost fell to the ground.

He immediately stood firm, looked around, and saw that the wolf was standing on top of the beam. It didn't look like it was about to attack, but Yan Han knew that the wolf was calling for his companions, so Yan Han cautiously stepped back.

The cunning wolf seemed to see that Yan Han was about to escape, so it suddenly pounced.

Yan Han quickly performed a Xuanjia technique in a panic, and his quick reaction saved his life. As soon as the wolf's claws reached Yan Han's back, Yan Han's body was covered with a layer of light mist, and the wolf's strength immediately weakened, but it still cut through Yan Han's clothes.

Yan Han didn't dare to look back, and in a panic, he recited a Thousand Thousand Divine Sympathy Method, and then slipped away, but at this time, the wolves had already arrived, and they outflanked Yan Han from both directions.

Yan Han ran for a while, and the effect of Qianqian's divine appearance quickly disappeared, and his footsteps began to slow down again.

Seeing that the wolves were about to catch up again, Yan Han gritted his teeth and was a thousand gods and thousands of gods.

In this way, after a few cycles, Yan Han consumed most of the inner pill spiritual power in his body, but the speed of inner pill recovery was slow and slow. What's worse is that the giant sword that was sealed by Yan Han just now has recovered its spiritual power, so that Yan Han has no time to cast the talisman, and he can't return to the giant sword array.

The wolves behind are chasing after each other, what can I do?

Yan Han was running around the giant sword formation, thinking about the problem, but there was no way. Yan Han suddenly thought that when he was young, he had hit the sword array and alarmed Tian Tao, and this time he could only try, hoping that Tian Tao could come over in time to save him.

Thinking of this, Yan Han slammed into the giant sword array diagonally, but due to Yan Han's excessive impact, the aura of the sword array ejected Yan Han several feet away, and Yan Han's blood suddenly boiled, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

As soon as Yan Han fell to the ground, several vicious wolves had already pounced!

At this moment, Yan Han suddenly squeezed out the last trace of spiritual power, and used his mental power to cut it into several paths, and cast multiple Xuanjia techniques at once.

And so a miracle happened!

When the multi-armor spell is cast, the mana shield reappears, accompanied by ripples of energy. The claws of the wolves tore frantically at Yan Han's body, but they couldn't touch any of Yan Han's skin at all. Obviously, this time the Xuanjia technique is much stronger than before!

Yan Han was also stunned, because his telekinesis was very skillful when depicting yellow paper, causing him to use it to cut spiritual power in a panic, and it took effect. He triggered the Xuanjia Technique several times at once, and caused its energy to overlap, so the power of the Xuanjia Mana Shield increased greatly and stayed longer.

Yan Han's train of thought paused for a moment, he realized that he was still in danger now, the time of the Xuanjia Technique was very short, and there might only be a few breaths of time for each activation, even if the three Xuanjia Techniques were superimposed, it might not last long.

Yan Han had an idea, and immediately took out a piece of yellow paper from his waist, and recited a few spells in his heart, only to see that the talisman immediately turned into a fire. The wolves that were attacking Yan Han immediately howled and dispersed when they saw the firelight.

However, the firelight was fleeting, and Yan Han secretly scolded himself, why didn't he bring a few more fire talismans. Now Yan Han only had the last fire talisman left, and the Xuanjia energy on his body had become weaker and weaker, and there was no trace of spiritual power in the dantian at this time for him to squander.

The evil wolf in the distance saw the flames dissipate, and began to slowly move closer to Yan Han again.

Yan Han can only fight!

He lit the last fire talisman and held it in his left hand, then took out a blank piece of yellow paper and placed it in the palm of his right hand, letting the spiritual power of the giant sword rub against the yellow paper as he ran, leaving a trail while using his telekinesis to continuously carve the runes.

A series of dense movements, even under the bone-piercing yin wind, made Yan Han's face ooze sweat.

When the fire talisman burned out and several sparks also fell and extinguished, Yan Han slapped the yellow paper heavily on a giant sword and yelled, "Open!"

The spiritual power of the giant sword immediately dimmed.

Yan Han was overjoyed, immediately stepped into the formation, and casually tore off the talisman on the giant sword, and the spiritual power of the giant sword was restored. And the wolves that rushed to the scene didn't have time to stop, and all of them hit the aura of the giant sword array, and they were bounced out one after another, squeaking and howling.

The wolves unwillingly circled in place, staring at Yan Han, and after a long while, the wolves left impatiently. Yan Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Yan Han went back, he panicked. He thought to himself: The spirit beast didn't see it, a few evil wolves were so desperate for their lives, so let's stay in the Red Emperor Garden honestly in the future!

This lesson made Yan Han deeply understand that without real protection ability, he must not easily get out of the giant sword array.

However, there is one thing that Yan Han has gained a lot, when he was in a desperate situation, he stumbled upon the fact that mental power can split spiritual power, and can activate multiple mental methods at the same time, producing the effect of energy superposition. Yan Han personally experienced that the effect of this overlapping mental method had a very significant power increase.

And Yan Han's discovery this time is not recorded in the Sanqing Pavilion classics.

Yan Han didn't sleep after he went back, he tried to split the spiritual power with his mental power again, but this time he only divided into two, and he couldn't perform the overlapping mental method as smoothly as when he was attacked by the wolves.

Maybe in the panic, he can make his telekinesis more effective!
