  Xiao Yu entered his own room, locked the door from the inside, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate. Since he started practicing the "Zheng Qi Jue" inherited from Zhong Kui, Xiao Yu's body had a golden yellow airflow as thick as a hair, constantly shuttling through the meridians. This was a kind of yuanqi obtained by Xiao Yu when he practiced Zheng Qi Jue - Haoran Zhengqi.

  An hour later, Xiao Ye got up from the bed, his condition had been adjusted to the best, after all, it was his first time making a talisman, whether he could succeed or not was still an unknown number, but if he did all the preparation work to the best of his ability, even if he failed, he would have no regrets.

  He took out a piece of white jade and placed it on the table, and Xiao Yu carefully examined this piece of jade. The jade was carved into the shape of a qilin, with an extremely vivid appearance, and at first glance, it was clear that the craftsmanship was not bad, and without thirty or forty years of experience, it would not be possible to carve such a shape.

  Xiao Yu Jing calmed down and took out that thick brush, grasping it in his hand, ready to start making talismans.

  They can be divided into paper talismans, leather talismans and jade talismans. Paper talismans and leather talismans can only draw ordinary talismans due to the carrier.

  Yu Fu is different, Yu Fu can be divided into three levels and nine grades according to its power and effect. The talismans are divided into Pu Fu, Ling Fu, and Fa Fu in three levels, each level of talisman is further divided into upper, middle and lower three grades.

  Of course, with Xiao Yu's current thin vitality, it's barely possible to draw some simple talismans on paper, and on jade stones, he can only manage to draw two of the simplest talismans, and even that's not guaranteed to succeed.

  However, the paper talisman has an obvious shortcoming, that is, its efficacy can last for half a month, which is already considered not bad, while the jade talisman can last for a long time. Xiao Ye wants to prepare it for his nephew, so he must prepare the best one, even if it means wasting a few more pieces of jade.

  Xiao Yong concentrated his mind and calmed his breath as he began to prepare the talisman. What he was about to draw now was a simple talisman called 'Evil-Repelling Talisman'.

  "Zhēi xié fú" is the simplest and most practical talisman, it only has one effect, which is to dispel all kinds of low-level evil spirits.

  Maintaining a mind like a clear mirror, Xiao Yun began to operate the air book symbol, and what he drew was an evil-warding symbol. As Xiao Yun operated the air, that one strand of hair as thick as a fine thread of majestic energy gathered at the tip of the pen, forming a golden light spot shining with golden light.

  Although it is a simple talisman, it is also very complicated. The golden light under Xiao Yu's brush is like flowing clouds and water, with one stroke, one flick, one press, one horizontal line, and one dot, slowly forming a complex pattern composed of golden light lines.

  Xiao Yu's forehead was covered in large beads of sweat that slowly trickled down, his face turning pale and colorless. Even aside from his right hand holding the brush, his entire body began to tremble.

  Finally, with Xiao Yu's efforts, the last stroke was completed, and the talisman was finally drawn. Next is the final step, which is also the most important step - inlaying.

  Inlaying is to use yuanli to inlay the floating Fu symbols on the surface of the jade into the interior of the jade, which is not available for paper talismans and skin talismans. This is also why paper talismans and skin talismans are easy to make, while jade talismans are the most difficult to obtain. This is also one of the reasons why jade talismans can maintain their effectiveness for a long time.

  Looking at the golden threads floating on the surface of the jade, Nai He Xiao Yu's whole body was now devoid of any vital energy. If he couldn't embed the talisman into the jade in time, it would soon dissipate. After all, the talisman was currently composed only of his own vital energy, and this was why it could be sustained for a while in the void after being successfully inscribed. If it hadn't been successful, even if one point or line was missing or drawn incorrectly, the vital energy that made up the talisman would immediately dissipate.

  Looking at the talisman that had already begun to disperse, Xiao Yu's own vitality had not recovered in the slightest. As he watched the talisman about to disappear, Xiao Yu felt extremely unwilling.

  Suddenly, Xiao You thought of something and stared at the floating talisman that had begun to disperse with a determined face. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which contained golden sparks. When the blood essence stained the golden talisman floating in mid-air, it was as if the talisman was being pressed down by an enormous force, embedding itself into the jade stone.

  Watching the talisman being inlaid into the jade stone, Xiao Yu's entire body was as if he had already fainted, slumping onto the bed, panting heavily, and it took a long time for his breathing to return to normal, but his face was still as pale as white paper without a hint of blood color.

  Xiao Yu tried to pick up the jade symbol, but his arm wouldn't listen and couldn't lift it up. His whole body felt drowsy and he had no energy at all. Xiao Yu could no longer bear to look at the jade symbol and fell asleep on the bed.

  "Bang bang bang...... little brother...... little brother....."

  A sudden knock on the door mixed with Xiao Yu's shouting voice awakened Xiao Ye, who was in a deep sleep. Xiao Ye slowly sat up and shook his dizzy head vigorously.

  "What's wrong? Sister, is something the matter?" Shaking off her dizziness, Xiao Yu became somewhat clear-headed.

  "Come and eat, hurry up and don't sleep!" Xiao Yu heard the drowsy voice of his brother inside and thought Xiao Ye was still sleeping.

  "Oh, okay, I'll go down right away!" Xiao Ye said, and then lay back down on the bed.

  After a while, Xiao Ye finally sat up and looked at his watch, it was already past six o'clock, he didn't expect that he had slept for more than three hours.

  Xiao Yu got out of bed and came to the table, picked up the jade token and looked at it. At this time, the jade was still milky white, but if you look closely, you can see a faint golden light flashing inside the jade, and the surface of the jade is covered with a soft and gentle glow, revealing an extraordinary aura.

  Xiao Yu put down the jade talisman, smiled bitterly and shook his head. This simplest and most ordinary evil-warding jade talisman had actually consumed all of his hard-earned pure energy that he had cultivated during this period of time. It was fine to say that it could be slowly recovered later, but when would he be able to replenish this mouthful of vital blood?

  Xiao Ye came in front of the mirror and looked at himself, his reflection showed a pale face, after an afternoon's rest, although not as bloodless and pale as before, but still had an unhealthy pale complexion.

  Xiao Yu smiled wryly in front of the mirror, washed his face and came downstairs.

  "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" asked Xiao Jianying, seeing Xiao Yu's face full of shock.

  "Really! Younger brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Yu heard her mother's words and turned around to see Xiao Ye's pale face with a hint of greenish white color, and she quickly asked.

  Originally, the son returned at noon and started sleeping. He slept for an entire afternoon, which made Xiao Jianying feel that something was wrong. At this time, she took a look at her son's face and quickly walked over, grasped Xiao You's wrist to take his pulse. After a moment, she put down Xiao You's wrist and looked at him, shouting: "What did you do? Your qi and blood are so severely depleted!"

  Xiao Yu faced his mother's questioning, not knowing how to respond. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way and could only shake his head in frustration. Seeing Xiao Yu didn't want to say anything, Xiao Jianying didn't force the issue and instead took out a pen and wrote a prescription which she handed to Xiao Yu, saying: "Go get the ginseng that your grandfather left behind, slice it into five pieces and add them to the medicine. Boil three bowls of water down to one bowl and have your brother drink it!"

  Xiao Yu looked at her brother's appearance and hastily went to grab medicine to decoct it, with tears in her eyes.

  "Son, whatever you've done, I won't ask. You've always been more sensible since you were young, so I'm at ease on that point. But no matter what you do, something like today can never happen again!"

  Xiao Jianying knew that Xiao Yu had been stubborn since childhood, and he wouldn't say anything even if you killed him. So she didn't ask any more questions, but still looked serious at Xiao Yu, and what Xiao Jianying said was decisive and authoritative, exuding an inexplicable aura from head to toe.

  Xiao Yu casually ate some food and sat down to rest beside it. Half an hour later, his sister Xiao Yu brought out a porcelain bowl. Xiao Yu took the bowl and drank the medicine in it without even bothering to blow on it to cool it down. A hot stream flowed down his throat into his stomach, gathered there for a moment, then spread throughout his four limbs and hundred bones.

  Xiao Yu's depressed spirit was shaken, Xiao Yu said a word to his mother and sister, then returned to his room. Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, operating the Orthodox Qi Jue, the heat in his stomach dispersed, nourishing the damaged essence and blood. A golden light emerged from the meridians, slowly gathering into a faint thread.
