Qiao Mu blinked her pitch-black eyes and stood in the dark by herself until the clamor from the City Lord’s Estate melted into the distance.

She laid down and closed her eyes to rest, but she found that she could not seem to fall asleep again.

Giving up, Qiao Mu got up and lit the candle. Facing the candle, she took out some blank talisman papers and started drawing talismans.

She had obtained about 300 blank talisman papers from the talisman shop earlier, but she did not have the time to draw talismans. Since she could not sleep anyway, she got up and found something to occupy herself with.

With the talisman pen in hand, Qiao Mu spread open the blank talisman paper and fluidly started drawing on it.

She mainly drew some storage talismans so that she would not have to worry about storing items in the future.

To her surprise, the first storage talisman that she produced was a fine-grade blue talisman! Qiao Mu was startled, and her pen paused for a moment before she resumed drawing one talisman after another.

However, all of the storage talismans that she drew this time were actually fine-grade blue talismans. What did this mean?

In her astonishment, Qiao Mu attempted to draw a strength talisman or a speed talisman only to discover that all of the beginner-level talismans that she drew were fine-grade blue talismans.

She attempted to draw a few of those weak protective talismans—peace talismans, dizzying talismans, and immobilization talismans. She consequently confirmed the beginner-level talismans that she produced had all leveled up to become fine-grade blue talismans.

Qiao Mu paused her drawing and entered her conscious, flipping through a jade slip from the Golden Talisman Jade Tome.

She re-read the part: “A talisman practitioner encounters challenges unfathomable by the world on their journey. At least three years of practical training are required before a talisman practitioner manages to barely draw a few blue talismans. The success rate of a blue talisman was 1/10th of that of a yellow talisman.”

Hence, wasn’t this success rate of her fine-grade blue talismans a bit peculiar? The total of talismans that she had drawn did not add up to more than 100, right? Yet, the success rate of her blue talismans was already 100%?

She felt like her success rate was a bit funny. If other talisman practitioners learned about it, she wondered what they would think.

When she retreated from her conscious, two more demonstration talismans floated out of the Golden Talisman Jade Tome.

Qiao Mu silently accepted and examined them.

Beginner-level talisman—Unconscious Talisman: It knocks your opponent unconscious for 15 minutes, but opponents one or more levels higher than the user are immune to the effects.

Beginner-level talisman—Summoning Talisman: It summons a random animal or plant that exists in the natural world. The effect lasts one day, and the level of the summoned animal or plant will not exceed the summoner’s mystic cultivation level by more than three levels.

Qiao Mu first put these two talismans to the side before continuing to silently draw her storage talismans.

There can never be enough storage talismans. In the future, when everyone went out to search for supplies, they would have to rely on these storage talismans! At that time, she will supply some storage talismans to everyone in the team, and they would not have to worry about collecting things anywhere they went.

As the little girl cheerfully drew her storage talismans, she was completely unaware that her drawing speed became faster and faster. It originally took her 15 minutes to draw one storage talisman, but now, she was so fluid that she could draw one talisman per minute.

It was not until her hand bumped into a pile of blue storage talismans that Qiao Mu snapped out of it and realized, “Oh my heavens, I actually drew more than 200 blue storage talismans!”

She looked up at the sky and noticed that the east was slowly lighting up already.

Qiao Mu exhaled and stored the 100 blank talismans into one of the blue storage talismans.

Seeing the seven remaining blank talismans on the table, Qiao Mu lightly placed her pen onto the paper, carefully and slowly drawing the final storage talisman.

The moment she pulled her pen up, her mind shifted slightly.

A purple light surfaced from the talisman paper, nearly blinding her eyes.

Supreme-grade purple talisman!

A smile spread across Qiao Mu’s pink cheeks. This smile was much more natural than any of her previous fake smiles; it was a smile that earnestly came from her heart.

It was not stoic or rigid. At that moment, the little wooden doll appeared to light up, and even her countenance became more alive.
