No hope for eternal life

Chapter 147 The Injury Can Be Healed

"I understand. I used to think that I had no distracting thoughts, but now I know that I have always been plagued by distracting thoughts." Mu Changsheng said with a wry smile. Although Yang Wuque was giving examples, the examples he gave were all situations he had personally experienced.

Yang Wuque nodded slightly and said: "In addition, I found that when you draw talismans, you always pursue the ultimate resemblance, and dare not have the slightest error. It's like painting a dragon without the finishing touch, which lacks soul. This can also be regarded as a distraction. You can try to treat drawing talismans as painting landscapes."

"Student understands." Mu Changsheng thanked him. His admiration for Yang Wuque had reached an indescribable level. Then, without Yang Wuque's reminder, Mu Changsheng picked up the pen again and tried the Fiery Sun Talisman again.

At this moment, Mu Changsheng was truly close to the state of abandoning all distracting thoughts. There was neither the desire for success nor the fear of failure in his heart. There was only the talisman in his eyes. Even Yang Wuque who was sitting next to him was temporarily forgotten by him.

Yang Wuque sat aside and watched, holding his breath so as not to make any noise to disturb Mu Changsheng. There were also means in the courtyard to block out the noise from outside.

"It's done." Yang Wuque's face lit up. He only saw Mu Changsheng draw half of it and knew that the Fiery Sun Talisman was almost done. Yang Wuque also knew that if the Fiery Sun Talisman was done, it would not be long before Mu Changsheng could truly comprehend the meaning of the Talisman.

Yang Wuque remained silent, quietly looking at his only disciple in front of him, feeling more and more satisfied, especially since he had heard that Mu Changsheng could successfully draw a Dragon Flame Talisman at the peak of his foundation building stage, which was definitely an amazing feat.

"This silly boy probably still thinks it's because of the talisman pen." Yang Wuque laughed secretly in his heart, not knowing that no matter how good the talisman pen is, it is only auxiliary. The key lies in personal talent. Now it seems that Mu Changsheng's talent and understanding in the art of talismans are extremely amazing.

“If the future of talismans wasn’t so bad, perhaps you could specialize in it.” Yang Wuque sighed in his heart.

In the end, Mu Changsheng's attempt was as successful as Yang Wuque expected.

"I feel it, I feel the meaning of the talisman." Mu Changsheng said excitedly to Yang Wuque. He finally felt the mysterious meaning of the talisman. He had not been able to feel it before and thought that he did not have the talent in this area. Now it seems that it was because he did not use the right method. This is the difference between having the guidance of a famous teacher or not.

"Keep trying the Fiery Sun Talisman until you truly comprehend its meaning." Yang Wuque said in a deep voice, asking Mu Changsheng to strike while the iron is hot.

"Yes, sir." Mu Changsheng nodded and immediately began to draw the Fiery Sun Talisman, which he would need in the Six Kingdoms Trial.

……

After one night, Mu Changsheng consumed a total of 173 pieces of raw materials for the Fiery Sun Talisman and successfully obtained 84 Fiery Sun Talismans, a success rate of nearly 50%, which was something Mu Changsheng had never dared to imagine before.

Naturally, Mu Changsheng also completely understood the meaning of the talisman. When he drew the talisman, he could be said to have written with divine power, which was of great help to him.

"Sir, I will take my leave first." Mu Changsheng took his leave temporarily. He was not going to be beaten tonight, so there was no need to take a medicinal bath.

While it was still early, Mu Changsheng walked out of the town and looked for Chen Li, the golden-armored guard.

Not long after Mu Changsheng left, Chen Li took the initiative to show up and asked: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and said, "I told Brother Chen before that I would be back in half a month, but now the plan has changed. I'm afraid it will take quite some time, and the exact time is uncertain, but I will definitely be back before March."

Yang Wuque meant that Mu Changsheng had to hold out for fifty moves before he would let him go. Now it seemed unlikely that this goal would be achieved within half a month, so Mu Changsheng came to Chen Li specifically to tell him about it.

Chen Li heard this but said indifferently: "It's okay, Brother Mu, you are free to go back anytime."

In Chen Li's opinion, with the relationship with Mo Lianyue, he would not be surprised even if Mu Changsheng did not go back. In comparison, he was just a messenger and errand runner.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble Brother Chen to wait here for a while longer." Mu Changsheng said politely.

"It's a small matter. Maybe I'll need your care in the future." Chen Li smiled generously. He was quite satisfied with Mu Changsheng's politeness. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, if it wasn't a task assigned by the superiors, who would be willing to be a servant who was bossed around.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng returned to his alley and saw Mu Xun, whose face was covered with bruises, helping Mu Qun to swing the hammer and forge a sword. He guessed that he had been tricked again.

Seeing Mu Changsheng coming back so early, Mu Xun asked, "Didn't you feed him yesterday?"

"Well, Mr. Yang taught me some talisman techniques yesterday." Mu Changsheng replied.

When he returned home, Mu Changsheng found that Chen Wanru was not at home. He asked Mu Yanggu, and found out that she had gone to the fields. Even though the two elders had no shortage of spirit stones now, they had never abandoned their spiritual fields.

Nothing happened that day. Mu Changsheng drew hundreds of Fiery Sun Talismans and finished fifty-three of them.

As night fell, Mu Changsheng left home again and went to study with Yang Wuque. Mu's father and mother had already gotten used to this.

Passing by the sword-making shop, Mu Changsheng saw Mu Qunxian and was about to say hello, but he heard Mu Qunxian take the initiative to say: "Please tell Yang Wuque that his injuries can still be treated, but outsiders can't help him. He can only save himself, and the hope is very slim."

After hearing this, Mu Changsheng's eyes widened instantly. He had believed Yang Wuque when he heard him say that his injuries were incurable. He did not expect Mu Qunxian to say that he could be saved.

"Junior will definitely pass on the message." Mu Changsheng saluted respectfully with his fists clasped, then quickened his pace, eager to tell Yang Wuque the news.

After Mu Changsheng left, Mu Xun came out from behind the sword-making shop. He was also somewhat shocked that Yang Wuque's injury could be cured, but besides being shocked, he was also very confused: "Since you already knew that Mr. Yang's injury could be cured, why didn't you tell me before?"

This was also the first time that Mu Xun spoke to Mu Qun after returning from the palace examination, but his words were full of doubt.
