Chapter 221: Chapter 220 Master Buqiu Shows Off Money-eyed taking never existed between Qin Liuxi and her apprentice, they loved money simply because the Daoist Temple was poor, that’s the truth. Master Chi Yuan moved Qin Liuxi aside with a laugh and went to accept the ‘incense money’, politely declining: “Exorcising demons and guarding the path is the primary precept for us of the Mystic Sect, there’s really no need for such formality, Miss.” Qinglan Temple Master couldn’t help but roll his eyes. So generous you are, then why secretly pinch with three fingers and push out with two, so fake! Qin Liuxi pushed Master Chi Yuan aside and grabbed the ‘incense money’ directly, stuffing it in her pocket, and said, “You are very kind, Miss. I won’t charge you for the soul stabilizing spell then. Besides, I’ll draw two Peace Talismans for you to ensure safety.” Chi Yuan was left gaping at his empty hands. Qinglan Temple Master suggested, “Miss Si’s Protective Jade Talisman was shattered, I heard from your master that you also have some skills in nurturing magical artifacts, why don’t you nurture a new protective magical artifact for her?” Si Tu came forward upon hearing this and said, “Yes, a peace charm is after all made of paper and needs to be removed for bathing, whereas a magical artifact can be carried close to the body constantly, which is better. Not to hide from you, little Taoist, my Yue’er often suffers from soul departure. It really breaks my heart as a father, and today, without my attention, she was taken advantage of by a Wandering Ghost, sob...” He was on the verge of crying again as he spoke. His daughter was indeed too pitiable. Seeing that he was about to cry again, Qin Liuxi quickly said, “Don’t cry.” Tears choking in his voice, Si Tu hopelessly looked at her, “Then?” “Miss Si has generously contributed incense money to Qingping Temple, a protective magical artifact is indeed something we can provide. But I came here to meet my master, and I haven’t brought any other protective artifacts,” Qin Liuxi said, everything considered on account of the silver. “We could also visit your temple personally to request it, and offer incense to your grandmaster,” proposed Si Tu, very thoughtfully. Qin Liuxi slightly raised her eyebrows; it seems he has frequent dealings with Daoist temples, quite understanding indeed. “There’s no need, I’ll prepare it myself and deliver it to Miss Si later,” Qin Liuxi replied with a smile. Si Tu wanted to say something more when Si Lengyue stopped him again, turning to Qin Liuxi, she said: “Thank you very much, Miss Qin.” She then took out another portion of incense money and handed it to Qinglan Temple Master, “Thank you for making this trip.” Qinglan Temple Master declined, “I didn’t really help much.” “Your presence is a help,” Si Lengyue was very polite; seeing that he wouldn’t accept, she had to pass it to He Ming standing behind him. He Ming looked to his Grandmaster, who nodded. Taking it, he chanted, “Blessings to the Infinite, great kindness and so forth.” “Now that it’s late at night, would you Taoist stay overnight and depart tomorrow morning?” proposed Si Lengyue. Qin Liuxi replied: “We actually need to leave. Steward, go get some vermilion yellow paper, I’ll draw a couple of talismans for the Miss to protect her from Wandering Ghosts.” Si Tu was ecstatic and quickly urged the steward to make it happen. “There’s no need, I have it right here in my bag,” Qinglan Temple Master took out the bag he brought, “I didn’t bring other magical artifacts, but I did bring some yellow paper and vermilion.” He Ming stepped forward, took out the items, and also asked the steward to prepare an incense burner and other items for offering prayers and incense, which is a necessary preparation for drawing talismans. But what refreshed his perspective came next. Qin Liuxi then mixed the vermilion, spread out the yellow paper, took a brush, and casually rubbed it on her robe to get some vermilion and started drawing. She even didn’t bother to offer incense or pray. He Ming: “!” He looked intently, unwavering, as the brush moved without a tremor, the ink flowed continuously, and runes took shape on the paper effortlessly. Within a breath or two, the talisman was completed, and a flicker of spirit light could be seen. He Ming’s mouth was agape so wide, one could stuff an egg into it. Just a stunning display. Buqiu’s exhaustion was nowhere to be seen as he swiftly drew several talismans, with runes flowing uninterrupted, not wasting a single piece of vermillion yellow paper. As a Taoist who had embraced the Dao for many years, his eye for detail was evident; it was clear that these were not simply scribbles, but effective Spirit Talismans. A flicker of spirit light is indeed a talisman. Master, I have witnessed it! He Ming was nearly moved to tears by Qin Liuxi’s live talisman-drawing showcase. In this world, there are indeed people who draw talismans as if drawing simple lines, so effortlessly, never wasting a talisman, nor showing any signs of depleting spiritual power. Even his master had to prepare thoroughly and pray to the heavens before he could draw a high-quality Spirit Talisman. Those top-grade ones, like the Five Thunders Talisman, were even harder to draw. And yet, here he was, after many years in the Path, still wasting numerous talismans before managing to complete a proper Peace Talisman. But this junior master, it’s different for him – drawing talismans as if drawing lines. The gap between people is truly vast; it’s like comparing living beings to the dead. He Ming coveted those few Spirit Talismans, but saw them being neatly folded and handed over to Si Lengyue. Not only He Ming was envious, but also the Qinglan Temple Master, who after witnessing Qin Liuxi’s rapid talisman drawing, looked back at his old friend with renewed perspective. What a total disappointment! Master Chi Yuan, stroking his beard, smiled deeply with concealed pride. Had it been fifty years ago during the Daoist Temple’s grand competing event, this rebellious disciple could have defeated many. “Indeed, a different breed, not an ordinary person,” the Qinglan Temple Master muttered, not concealing his disdain. Master Chi Yuan’s smile paused, he glanced at him, and then looked back at Qin Liuxi, his gaze filled with complex emotions. Qin Liuxi herself was unaware of the old Taoists’ glances and handed the talismans to Si Lengyue, saying, “Carry these with you.” She looked at Si Lengyue’s fair face, lowered her eyes, and cast a spell on her shoulder, saying, “Meeting is fate, should such a circumstance arise again, call my name.” Si Lengyue, somewhat surprised, immediately smiled and bowed in response. Mission accomplished. Qin Liuxi then said to the Qinglan Temple Master, “In a few days, our temple has a ceremony with a benefactor donating a golden statue of the Grandmaster. If you’re free, come witness the event.” “Sure.” Having said that, Qin Liuxi prepared to leave, “Shall we take our leave now?” “Junior Taoist, it’s still dark, why the rush? The city gates aren’t even open yet,” Si Tu hurriedly interjected. When Qin Liuxi appeared initially, carrying her daughter’s soul, he hadn’t witnessed her divine skills while unconscious, thus he didn’t realize she was about to take an uncommon path. “Father. The Taoist possesses divine skills,” Si Lengyue said. Si Tu broke free from her grasp, “Junior Master, please do not hurry off just yet, my daughter and I still have matters to ask of you.” “Father!” Si Lengyue said helplessly, “It’s already late, and the Taoists have been busy for a long time. Don’t be stubborn; we will still see Daoist Qin later; we can talk then.” The Qinglan Temple Master, hearing their conversation, had a flickering look in his eyes, glancing towards Qin Liuxi, perhaps she really had a solution? Seeing that they seemed to hold back their words, Qin Liuxi did not inquire further, but simply bid farewell to everyone, cast a spell, opened the Yin Road, and left with Master Chi Yuan. Si Tu watched as two living people vanished before his eyes, blinked, and said, “With such divine skills, Yue’er, they must be able to save you.”
