Chapter 381 The Tao Cannot Be Expressed
When the old woman left, Yu Bingbing took Qin Changqing's arm and entered the palace. The smile on her face never faded.
In the room, a teenager in his teens stood in front of a desk, diligently using a spiritual pen to draw a talisman.
This teenager was none other than Yu Jun'an, the child of Qin Changqing and Yu Bingbing.
This little guy also had the talent of an Immortal Spiritual Root. Although he was only in his teens, he had already reached the Gold Core late stage and was about to enter the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, he had considerable talent in talisman drawing. Currently, he could already draw Rank Four talismans with a decent success rate.
Perhaps sensing the arrival of Qin Changqing and Yu Bingbing, Yu Jun'an's aura suddenly became chaotic. Then, the talisman on the desk burst open, releasing a burst of spiritual mist.
Yu Jun'an looked disappointed, but when he saw Qin Changqing and Yu Bingbing, he was overjoyed. He threw away his spiritual pen and rushed into Qin Changqing's arms, exclaiming, "Dad!"
Qin Changqing patted Yu Jun'an's head and asked with a smile, "Did you fail?"
"Yeah!" Yu Jun'an felt a bit discouraged. "I wanted to try refining a Rank Four Apex Level Ice Seal Talisman, but maybe my cultivation base is not enough. I can't seem to refine it no matter what. I've wasted hundreds of talismans..."
Talismans were not ordinary objects. They were made from the skins of various demonic and spiritual beasts. The higher the quality of the talisman, the more precious the materials needed.
Of course, this was not a problem for Qin Changqing. Knowing that this little guy also had talent in this area, he had already prepared a large pile of talismans for him to use as he pleased.
Having talent was one thing, but one also needed to work hard and continuously practice.
Yu Bingbing smiled and said, "Jun'an, don't be discouraged. You're only in the Gold Core stage, but you can already refine Rank Four talismans. That's already impressive!"
Qin Changqing extended his hand, used a spell to capture the lingering spiritual mist, and felt it with his divine sense. Then, he patted Yu Jun'an's little head and said, "Come on, Jun'an, try refining it again for me to see."
Yu Jun'an was a bit puzzled, but he obediently nodded and picked up the spiritual pen again, starting to draw on the talisman paper.
The tip of the spiritual pen glided on the talisman paper, quickly outlining bright and clear spiritual patterns. The patterns gradually became brighter, and the whole process was smooth, showing that Yu Jun'an's foundation was very solid.
Suddenly, Yu Jun'an's aura stagnated, and the tip of the spiritual pen trembled slightly. The spiritual patterns on the talisman paper instantly dimmed, and then with a bang, they burst into spiritual mist again.
Another failure!
Yu Jun'an sighed and looked back at Qin Changqing. "Dad, you see, it's like this. I can't find the reason. I even went to the Changqing Academy to ask an Immortal Master who specializes in making talismans, but he couldn't figure out the reason either. He said it's probably because my cultivation base is still not enough."
Qin Changqing's gaze flickered as he stared at the dissipating spiritual mist in the air. He slowly said, "Insufficient cultivation base is one aspect, but another point is that your Dao heart is unstable, and there are also problems with the way you draw the spiritual patterns."
Yu Jun'an was taken aback. "Dad, you understand talismans too?"
Yu Bingbing also looked at Qin Changqing with surprise. Even she didn't know that Qin Changqing had accomplishments in this area.
Qin Changqing smiled faintly. "Just a little knowledge. Come, give me your spiritual pen."
Yu Jun'an quickly handed him the spiritual pen.
Qin Changqing re-laid the talisman paper on the desk. His whole demeanor suddenly changed, and his gaze became extremely profound. He directly pressed the spiritual pen onto the talisman paper.
The next moment, the spiritual pen in Qin Changqing's hand moved like a swimming dragon, and bright spiritual patterns appeared on the paper one after another. The entire talisman seemed to be illuminated, and tiny ice crystals began to form around it.
Yu Jun'an and Yu Bingbing widened their eyes in astonishment, their faces filled with shock.
"Mom, Dad is amazing! This is not just a little knowledge. Dad's level of talisman drawing is much higher than those Immortal Masters in the academy!"
Yu Jun'an stared at Qin Changqing without blinking, his eyes filled with admiration and excitement.
Yu Bingbing's eyes also shimmered, and she found Qin Changqing's serious look really charming!
Shua!
The lines of light burst on the talisman paper, connecting from beginning to end, forming a complete rune. The whole talisman paper seemed to come to life and floated in the air. Ice blue Spirit Power continuously flowed out from the surroundings and merged into it.
Immediately after, the entire talisman paper lit up with an ice blue light, then disappeared, slowly floating back to the table.
Yu Jun'an and Yu Bingbing focused their attention again, only to see that the talisman paper now had a vivid ice mountain pattern, surrounded by scattered blue frost.
Rank Four Ice Seal Talisman, complete!
"Dad, you're amazing!" Yu Jun'an cheered, his face filled with admiration and excitement. "This is a Rank Four Supreme Grade Ice Seal Talisman!"
Although the quality of talismans still depended on Cultivation Base, the ability of the person making the talisman was also crucial.
Some cultivators could refine Rank Five or Rank Six talismans, but they might not be able to refine Rank Two or Rank Three Supreme Grade talismans. This was the difference in talent and comprehension.
Just from this Rank Four Supreme Grade Ice Seal Talisman, it was evident that Qin Changqing's proficiency in refining talismans was not just superficial knowledge, but had reached a very advanced level.
"You also know how to refine talismans. Why didn't you tell us last time?" Yu Bingbing's eyes were also filled with joy. Who wouldn't want their own man to become stronger?
Qin Changqing smiled and said, "Jun'an has a strong talent for refining talismans, but no matter how strong the talent is, it still requires continuous practice and effort. Only by experiencing failure can one continue to grow. Failure is not scary; what's scary is not learning from it and gaining experience!"
These words made Yu Jun'an pensive, and he nodded heavily. "Dad, I understand. You have truly thought it through. Don't worry, I will work hard!"
Seeing the conversation between father and son, Yu Bingbing's heart warmed, and the smile on her lips grew even brighter. This was the life she wanted.
"Do you remember what I just did?" Qin Changqing asked.
Yu Jun'an blinked his eyes. "I've already forgotten half of it."
Yu Bingbing frowned. "Changqing, you moved too fast just now. I couldn't even see clearly. Why don't you demonstrate it to Jun'an again?"
Qin Changqing, however, waved his hand with a smile and continued to ask, "How about now?"
Yu Jun'an closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, then opened his eyes again. "I've forgotten most of it."
Yu Bingbing suddenly became anxious.
This child usually has good talent. Why did he forget so quickly today?
Qin Changqing's smile grew even wider and he asked again, "And now?"
At this point, Yu Jun'an also smiled. "I've forgotten everything!"
Qin Changqing laughed heartily. "Not bad, not bad. You forgot so quickly! Very good!"
Yu Bingbing looked at the somewhat eccentric father and son, completely puzzled, not understanding what kind of riddle they were playing.
