I drew a talisman to save the sun from its bleeding state.

Chapter 41 Actually, I am a master of talisman cultivation

Xu Fan's place is a little over fifteen minutes away from here. It's a wasteland, but there's a newly built three-story building with a courtyard. The whole building looks exceptionally bright and clean. Several acres of wasteland next to the courtyard have been cleared out and planted with some crops, as well as a pergola.

The car stopped, and Xu Fan quickly got out and ran straight to the locked gate of the small building: "Sister! Sister!"

"Hey! I'm here, brother, stop calling me, what's wrong?"

"Tap tap tap..." Footsteps approached, the courtyard gate opened, and a pale, sickly girl in a willow-leaf dress smiled gently. She first looked at Xu Fan, then her gaze fell upon him: "Brother, are these your friends?"

Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his sister unharmed, and turned slightly to the side: "This is Master Zhou, this is his girlfriend Xiaoxue, this is Captain Tang Ying of the security team, and this is..."

Liu Zhen interjected with a smile: "My name is Liu Zhen, and I am the elder of Protector Zhou."

Zhou Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Zhen trying to take advantage of him. He was sure that Liu Zhen was a protector, but whether he was an elder was another matter. He turned his gaze to the girl in the willow skirt.

[Xu Xiaoye (sickly, short-lived, cursed...)]

Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Your sister must be in a difficult position. Someone is indeed trying to harm her."

Xu Fan suppressed his anger: "Brother Zhou, do you have a solution? I've taken my sister to see many people over the years, but nothing has worked."

Liu Zhen curiously sized up Xu Xiaoye, then stared at Zhou Zheng, wondering how the child would resolve the matter.

Zhou Zheng took out three coins and held them in his palm: "I can do some calculations, please wait a moment."

Hold the three coins and begin the fate calculation, but this time be very cautious and careful.

Thoughts flowed upstream along the river of cause and effect, slowly advancing until they stopped in front of a scene glowing red. The scene was unclear, but the mind reminded that looking further ahead would lead to danger or being detected.

Zhou Zheng opened his eyes: "It's possible that my divination skills are too weak, or it's possible that my strength is too weak. I can't continue to deduce rashly. However, I do have a way to try and prescribe the right medicine. If I fail, Brother Liu will cover for your sister."

Xu Fan was stunned: "Brother Zhou, you're also skilled in medicine? Aren't you Lei Xiu?"

I've heard so much about Lei Xiu's fighting and killing, but this is the first time I've heard of Lei Xiu who can heal.

Zhou Zheng gestured for Xu Xiaoye to sit on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his gleaming muscular arms: "To correct you, my main skill is actually talisman drawing. I only practiced lightning magic to prepare for battle."

Liu Zhen asked in surprise, "You, a master of talismans, are favored by the Heavenly Venerable?"

That's strange. What was the Celestial Venerable thinking?

Xu Xiaoye glanced at her brother, Xu Fan nodded in acknowledgment, and she obediently lay down on the chair, curiously watching Zhou Zheng roll up his sleeves.

Zhou Zheng stood at attention, took a deep breath, and began to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Since he started cultivating, he had recently been able to sense energies such as pure energy, turbid energy, yang energy, and yin energy. It was noon, and drawing talismans with the yang energy of the sun was most convenient, unlike drawing them in the middle of the night which required relying solely on willpower and mental strength.

I recently did some research on drawing talismans and realized that my ability to do so is purely due to "great strength," something most people can't do. It's like someone lifting a steel coil to move a house—a normal person would just say it's been returned to its rightful owner, not that someone is defying the natural order and stealing talismans.

Zhou Zheng prepared himself: "The first problem is weakness, so I'll draw a Medicine King Talisman for you, and I'll ask the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi Jiuku Gannan to bless it. The second problem is shortened lifespan, so I'll ask the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole to bless it. The third problem is being cursed, so I'll ask the Thunder Ancestor to bless it. You have other problems as well, and I'll draw talismans to resolve or suppress them one by one. Just keep your mind still and don't move around too much... I mean, just lie down and don't move around."

Liu Zhen laughed: "If you don't usually make offerings to them, it's very difficult to invite them at this time. You can only receive some blessings, but that's enough for ordinary people."

It's enough for this little girl, at least.

Zhou Zheng's eyes were focused, his vision empty. With a focused mind, he began to draw the Medicine King Talisman with a flick of his fingertips. The slight heat in the air gathered at his fingertips, and the spiritual energy in his body extended along his arm, flew into his fingertips, and landed in the air. It merged with the spiritual energy and yang energy of heaven and earth in the outside world to form the talisman. He sincerely chanted the Taiyi Salvation Sutra for Protection and Relief...

Liu Zhen's smile gradually faded as he looked at the focused young man in surprise, beginning to understand why Lei Zu had shown him favor.

You're not a child, are you drawing this purely out of willpower?

Inviting deities to bless talismans is to enhance their effectiveness, so it is necessary to set up an altar, perform rituals, and chant incantations to invite the deities. Inviting the deities will also enhance the willpower of the person drawing the talisman to a certain extent. However, if the person drawing the talisman has a strong willpower, some limitations can be ignored to a certain extent.

Furthermore, if the person who draws the talisman is upright, then the restrictions can be relaxed. And this child is indeed upright; at this moment, he is truly focused on saving people without any ulterior motives.

No wonder Lei Zu favored him; anyone would like a child like that.

Xu Fan's eyes widened, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand. Good heavens, Brother Zhou, you're a real talisman cultivator! So ruthless?!

Xu Xiaoye watched in astonishment as the talisman gradually took shape at Zhou Zheng's fingertips. Each stroke was formed with utmost focus, and brilliant golden fire and faint blue light flowed from his fingertips. The rise and fall of the brushstrokes contained a restrained sharpness and spirit.

Medicine King Fu Cheng.

Zhou Zheng pressed his finger against the talisman and gestured with his lips: "Raise your left arm and pull up the sleeve."

Xu Xiaoye hurriedly did as she was told, raising her delicate arm.

Zhou Zheng looked at her smooth, white arms, thought for a moment, and then placed the talisman down: "After this illness is cured, you should start exercising as appropriate. Learn the Seven Star Kui Gang Steps; moving is definitely better than not moving. It can also prevent others from harming you again."

The Seven Stars Kui Gang Steps, when practiced by ordinary people, are believed to prolong life and ward off disasters. In layman's terms, it means that those who exercise will live longer than those who don't, and can react faster in dangerous situations. Cultivators, however, can combine it with incantations and internal energy cultivation to achieve even more. For Xu Fan, mastering the simple incantation exercises is not difficult, and these techniques are not particularly challenging to learn.

【Medicine King Talisman (Taoist Talisman, Grade Two, Upper)】

[Effect: Significantly enhances self-healing or treatment abilities]

[Blessing: Gathering Yang to Dispel Illness (Under the sun, the Medicine King Talisman's ability to dispel illness will be enhanced)]

[Note: Remember to get some sunshine and eat some good food every day; it's very good for your health.]

After drawing the Medicine King Talisman, the next step is the Longevity Talisman.

The Medicine King Talisman was easy to draw because it was frequently used and Zhou Zheng drew it often. The Longevity Talisman, however, was more difficult. He had originally planned to use it in conjunction with the Blood Burning Technique, but since he had the Rejuvenation Technique, he skipped it. Since Zhou Zheng and those around him did not need to extend their lives, they only briefly learned about the Longevity Talisman, drew it a few times to familiarize themselves with it, and then never touched it again.

Zhou Zheng took out his phone, opened the Baiyun Temple APP, and began to observe the longevity charm on site.

Xu Fan became nervous: "Brother Zhou, is my sister's illness difficult to treat?"

I'm not afraid of doctors saying it's difficult to treat, I'm afraid of doctors flipping through books on the spot! Stop flipping through books, bro, I'm scared!

Liu Zhen stepped forward and glanced at him: "No, he just doesn't know how to draw a longevity talisman, so he's learning right here."

Xu Fan choked, swallowing hard. "Brother Zhou, are you reliable?"

Zhou Zheng didn't even look up: "Don't bother me. If I draw it wrong, I'll hit you on the head."

Zhou Zheng drew two lines in the air while looking at the photo, familiarizing himself with the patterns and reciting them as he went... "Huh? The Antarctic Longevity Emperor is Lei Zu?"

Liu Zhen nodded: "Yes, the incarnation of the Celestial Venerable and the Emperor of Longevity."

The incarnation of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor is the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable; the former is the true form, while the latter is the incarnation of the Thunder God.

Zhou Zheng looked at the longevity talisman and the scripture again, and instantly understood. He put away his phone and said, "That's great."

Since we're family, it's easy to use connections.
