Free Web NovelChapter 1633: Chapter 987: Twin Stars of the Immortal World (2)
"Learning from All Schools of Thought is as simple as a sponge absorbing water, as long as the Monarch wishes to research and study. If the Monarch desires to delve into the talismanic path..."
He leaned slightly, closing the distance to Fang Geyu. Ignoring Baili An, who was closer and more intimate with Fang Geyu inside the carriage, he kept a subtle smile on his face.
"Not impossible to create another Shifang City like that Lord Xue."
What grandiose words, daring to compare himself to a previous City Lord. One should know, since the creation...
Under All Heavens, amidst the history of dynasties contending for supremacy, only a millennium ago did such a business emerge that could span the Six Realms in Shifang City.
Despite being the son of a Golden Immortal, despite his noble status, unmatched in the mortal world.
If he uttered these words in any bustling market of Shifang City, it would surely provoke laughter, too overconfident.
At least, to this day, no Golden Immortal above could negotiate or form such a profound alliance with the Sea God.
Yet Fang Geyu, who always looks down on everything, surprisingly displayed a glance of recognition at his words.
She squinted at Mu Yunye, chuckling: "Didn’t expect you to have such ambition."
Mu Yunye’s smile settled in his eyes, raising his deep gaze to Fang Geyu: "Miss Fang is truly extraordinary, coming down to seek a marriage proposal; Mu Yunye’s trip has been worthwhile indeed."
Fang Geyu dismissed it with a smile, swiftly drawing out a blank sheet of paper and a Jade Pen from a drawer. The pen’s tip, inkless, left silvery-blue traces on the paper.
Her strokes were clear and distinct, smooth and effortlessly, layering silver and blue lines over each other.
With just a few strokes, the strokes imbedded into the paper exhibited a formidable mountain landscape, as if vast ranges rose and fell within a sheet of thin paper, grand and magnificent.
Watching Fang Geyu effortlessly use a pen to draw a talisman, with a graceful posture, within an eye blink, the talisman was complete and substantive, Mu Yunye’s gaze was bright, seemingly greatly admiring.
Fang Geyu threw the paper out bluntly: "This is the ’Beiyue Talisman’, with simple strokes yet powerful, counted as a basic talisman within my Shifang City, igniting it can summon mountain force, for suppression, imprisonment, or self-defense, with many uses."
Mu Yunye received the talisman; his eyes revealed a gleam of admiration, unable to resist praising:
"The talisman path in the world is divided into five grades, yellow, red, blue, purple, black, corresponding to the rank of talisman paper. Only by drawing on paper talisman will it naturally form spiritual power.
The deeper the color, the stronger the power, along with extremely strict requirements for control over the talisman path.
Miss Fang can use ordinary white paper instead of spirit talisman, conveniently creating a talisman effortlessly, the purity of this talismanic power, truly incredible considering Miss Fang’s cultivation is of just over a decade."
He could hardly imagine, the simplest and most basic ’Beiyue Talisman’ within Shifang City, when created by her hand, could exhibit such grand and magnificent intent.
No one could think that this talisman was produced by a nineteen-year-old girl.
Instead, it seemed more like the work of a master, earning endless admiration.
Mu Yunye must admit, Fang Geyu in the talismanic path, truly is a genius.
However, upon receiving the talisman, Mu Yunye did not sense Fang Geyu showcasing her skill before him.
What he discerned was Fang Geyu extending a slight challenge to him.
He had just claimed to be adept at learning from various schools, yet when Fang Geyu drew, she was fluid and natural, intentionally slowing her pace, deliberately imparting this ’Beiyue Talisman’ to him.
What was being tested, naturally, was his comprehension of the talismanic path.
Mu Yunye subtly smiled, without hesitation tore off a piece of his garment, punctured his fingertip, swiftly moving his fingers.
Both his movements and strokes were seamlessly natural; although slower than Fang Geyu by a half beat, a force not weaker than Fang Geyu’s drawn ’Beiyue Talisman’ formed.
Using ordinary objects like paper or fabric to draw a talisman without spiritual talisman, is commendably difficult.
Even a talisman master who has truly entered the threshold of the talismanic path would rarely succeed in this.
Mu Yunye, as a newcomer who has just awakened his talisman spirit and touched talismanic knowledge, this alone is enough to overshadow countless talisman masters worldwide.
Mu Yunye stacked the two ’Beiyue Talismans’ in his hand, courteously offering them to Fang Geyu with a smile: "The Monarch rarely makes empty boasts; if spoken aloud, it surely won’t disappoint."
For his astonishing talent exhibited, Fang Geyu showed little reaction, not even glancing at the result he handed over, resting her chin, said:
"Feeling proud? It’s just the most basic rune; even my newly acquired suitor by my side can easily do this.
Certainly... what you can’t achieve, he does even better."
Seeing Fang Geyu hesitate to accept the two talismans, Mu Yunye neatly stacked them and placed them at the carriage’s front, lowering his eyelids, expressionless, said:
"Indeed, the Monarch admits, that night at the feast, competing in field aura, the Monarch lost, and lost terribly.
But if the Monarch guessed correctly, this Mr. Ji must have borrowed external force to release pressure and suppress me, right?
The Monarch firmly believes, if truly confronted, genuine victory and defeat are yet to be determined.
But Miss Fang’s judgment that, due to a momentary loss, Mr. Ji’s talismanic ability could overshadow the Monarch is rather arbitrary."
Fang Geyu, seeing his dissatisfaction, coldly laughed, said: "To this Miss, drawing talismans on paper or cloth is extremely simple; if a task is so easy, how can it stand out, THAT was not the purpose of teaching you this talisman."
Mu Yunye responded lightly ’Oh?’, intrigued: "Then, what does Miss Fang propose the Monarch do?"
Fang Geyu didn’t answer, directly tossed out a top-grade spiritual stone.
"What’s the meaning of this, Miss Fang?"
"Paper discourse is meaningless, Shifang City’s mechanical technique, apart from talismans, is unparalleled, you must be aware, a central core in mechanical technique is the core.
The key is talisman drawing used to control Mechanical Puppets, but drawing talismans into the core is not a matter of using pens, but of using spiritual power to craft runes.
One must know, cores are not like talisman paper; within lies volatile and pure spiritual power, if one’s spiritual power mastery is poor, it will be absorbed and assimilated by core power, leaving no trace."
Fang Geyu smiled: "Similarly, spiritual stones work the same way. If you can penetrate spiritual power into a spiritual stone, crafting this ’Beiyue Talisman’, then you are truly a genius."
Baili An froze, involuntarily looked toward Fang Geyu’s profile, his expression complex and indescribable.
Mu Yunye was equally stunned by such an astounding and seemingly absurd statement, frowned: "Spiritual stones are treasures of earthly spirits, spiritual power and spiritual energy resemble the difference between seawater and freshwater; although both are water, they merge, not separate.
If spiritual power is channeled into a spiritual stone, it will inevitably blend and be assimilated, increasingly difficult to carve out rune patterns.
Even if the Monarch’s understanding of talismanic paths is merely superficial, it is known, spiritual power as a blade to carve a spiritual stone is purely fantastical."
Fang Geyu clicked her tongue twice: "There are always those who deem unseen sceneries miraculous, not realizing their end is merely another’s beginning.
If you deem yourself incapable, why boast equivalence with my mother?"
At this point, Mu Yunye realized Fang Geyu was purposefully making things difficult for him.
He angrily threw the spiritual stone back into the carriage, "The Monarch sincerely seeks friendship, yet Miss Fang creates obstacles all around; indeed, the Monarch has overestimated himself and been cheeky."
Channeling shapeless, edgeless spiritual power into a spiritual stone to craft rune outlines remains utterly fantastical. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
More so, this is a top-grade spiritual stone, containing spiritual power akin to the quantity accumulated in a spiritual mountain’s earth veins over ten years, its vast power comparable to a massive lake.
The minute spiritual power, entering therein, is like a water mark trailing across a lake surface, stirring shallow ripples, before instantly subsiding into calm, unable to stir further ripples.
