2940 Success
While Qiao Mu had been eating earlier, she had also taken the opportunity to draw thousands of defensive talismans on the Fish Orchid Planet. It was only then that she had managed to barely amass enough.
Mo Lian reassured her, saying, “It’s alright. I’ve already instructed someone to expedite the production. They’ll be delivered to the academy within the next two days.”
Qiao Mu nodded vigorously.
Most of the defensive talismans in her possession had been utilized, leaving her with just about a hundred remaining. It was certainly not enough.
Chen Qi and Lu Zheng perked up their ears, eavesdropping on their conversation. At this point, they couldn’t help but exchange silent glances and simultaneously inquire, “Second Headmaster, did you draw these talismans yourself?”
Aren’t the Second Headmaster’s abilities as a talisman practitioner somewhat out of the ordinary?
Most talisman practitioners could barely manage to complete one or two talismans in an entire afternoon. Yet, the Second Headmaster had just produced a staggering 8,688 defensive jade talismans!
Don’t ask how they knew; they had been silently counting in their heads.
Considering the pace at which typical talisman practitioners could craft two talismans per day, they would only be able to create 700 talismans in a year.
Wouldn’t it take others more than a decade to create the 8,000 jade talismans that the Second Headmaster had just used?
Was this even possible?
Qiao Mu regarded the two of them with a perplexed expression. Before they could continue their questioning, she interjected, “Elders, doesn’t Xuanji Palace seem rather ancient to you?”
The eyelids of the two elders twitched.
“Now that I’m back, the top priority is to repair the residence,” she declared.
She turned to the two old men and instructed, “Go and find a few craftsmen to renovate the palace inside and out. Replace any living equipment that needs an upgrade. When I have some free time, I’ll return and stay here for a while.”
In the future, this place could serve as another residence outside the Eastern Palace.
Chen Qi opened his mouth and, much to his chagrin, found himself obediently responding, “Alright.”
He couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
He was a respected Elder of the Xuanji School. When had he turned into a mere errand boy? How had he ended up with the task of purchasing supplies and overseeing palace repairs?
It was truly exasperating, and Chen Qi shot an annoyed glare at Qiao Mu.
The talisman matrix she had set up now responded entirely to her will. It could be activated with her hand seals, eliminating the need for jade talismans as keys.
“Second Aunt-Master, are you ready to come out?” Qiao Mu inquired. Only after hearing Yang Xirong’s agreement did she release her from the Fish Orchid Star.
Yang Xirong had already learned from the sapling that Qiao Mu had chosen an excellent location for the sect’s gate.
She was exceptionally excited.
The moment she stepped out, Yang Xirong first sensed a surge of abundant spiritual qi enveloping her body.
Secondly, she felt as though the scenery before her was akin to a magnificent garden. There were mountains, rivers, rocks, and wood—all that was needed was to enlist a few craftsmen to refine and tidy up the area.
“Second Aunt-Master, what do you think about settling down here in the future?” she suggested.
The spiritual energy in this place was incredibly dense. The mystic-guiding talisman matrix had drawn in the spiritual qi from hundreds of kilometers away. In less than a second, the thirteen peaks, with Red Clouds Peak at the center, were encircled by a thick veil of spiritual energy.
