AST 817 – Improvements on the Heavenly Talismans, Success of The Heart Toxin Talisman
Qing Shui only now took a look at the Tiger Form he had painted.
This was a tiger form that depicted a vividly realistic crouching tiger. Not only did it look like the real thing, its flesh, blood and bones were so evocative they could almost be felt. Relative to the past level, this kind strength was better by ten or even a hundred times.
So this was the level of drawing bones.
No matter what, it was impossible for a tiger without bones to become bold and powerful.
Now that his ‘Realm of Drawing’ had increased, he could try painting the Heavenly Talismans. Qing Shui had been hoping for the Heavenly Talismans to level up. Cultivating only one type of Heavenly Talismans didn’t really matter because after all, it was very difficult to cultivate it to the realm of great heights. On the other hand, even ants could kill an elephant if there were a great number of them. Perhaps other people couldn’t learn many Heavenly Talismans because of their limited spirit energy, but Qing Shui was different. He didn’t have to study too deeply into this either. As long as he learned a little bit more, he would be able to get a decent result.
Godly Force Talisman!
Qing Shui felt very comfortable drawing the ‘Godly Force Talisman’ now. His brush flowed smoothly, and he felt like he was able to draw it casually. Not only that, he even felt an additional powerful wave of force.
Talisman drawing was all about flow. Talismans didn’t have to be drawn in a single breath, but the feeling was essential. If the feeling was there, it wouldn’t matter even if the talisman was drawn with a hundred breaths.
He was able to complete the talisman in one breath. Qing Shui felt that he was able to draw the talisman even more naturally this time and he had become even more confident. This kind of feeling was indescribable with words. It just felt very great.
He took a look at the ‘Godly Force Talisman’ that was obviously different than the ones from before. He was very happy about it because he knew that the Heavenly Talismans had already broken through to Grade Five. He immediately slapped the Godly Force Talisman against his body.
50% increase in physical strength!
Qing Shui smiled happily at this result. In addition to his Nature Energy and the State of Immovable as Mountains that had broken through not too long ago, his strength could be said to have significantly increased again.
The Divine Shield Talisman’s effects had also been increased by 10%. Qing Shui wasn’t too sure about the Body Securing Talisman, but he could feel that the talisman’s power had increased by a similar amount. The rank of opponents the talisman could secure had increased, along with the probability of securing the target.
The Binding Talisman had also been enhanced.
Qing Shui was especially happy about the Descending Heavens Talisman. After he was done drawing one, he slapped it against his body without waiting any moment longer. He was happy to discover that the talisman could decrease his opponent’s strength by an additional 5 percent.
Due to the level up of the ‘Realm of Drawing’, Qing Shui’s Heavenly Talismans that were previously at Grade Four had now risen to Grade Five. Seeing that he had learned a few types of Heavenly Talismans, he decided to learn another one again.
Qing Shui could finally draw the Heavenly Talisman that he had always wanted to draw – the Poison Talisman.
He had been eyeing this type of Heaven Talisman for a long time. He had attempted to draw it a few times before, but he had stopped after failing every time. This time, he had the feeling that he would be able to draw it.
This Poison Talisman’s actual name was the Heart Toxin Talisman. As its name suggested, the Heart Toxin Talisman could poison the target’s heart, but it wasn’t actually fatal. Instead, this type of poison mainly confused the heart and thoughts of the target. It would lower the target’s killing intentions and make him felt unsettled, thus losing the desire to continue fighting.
The Heart Toxin Talisman wasn’t poisonous, but it was a type of attack on the mind. A person with lower mental abilities could immediately turn insane.
The powerful thing about the Heart Toxin Talisman was that the effects were cumulative. Just one talisman wouldn’t have too large an effect, but the effect lasted two hours and could be accumulated. There was about a seven minute waiting time between each talisman usage.
This cumulative effect that could immediately attack the heart of an opponent was what Qing Shui was after. Since Qing Shui had powerful spirit energy, this Heart Toxin Talisman would definitely play a significant role against future powerful opponents.
He stared at the Heart Toxin Talisman in the [Poison Scriptures] and earnestly studied the diagram that was depicted on it. His blood raced every time he looked at it.
That was because there was an image of a beautiful lady. The lady on the Heart Toxin Talisman was dressed in a thin dress of black gauze. Her hands, delicate neck, and exposed face exposed were translucent and jade-like.
The way her plump and soft breasts lifted her gauze dress was tantalizing. In addition to her devastatingly beautiful face, the lady in the painting also had a pair of beautiful and onyx-like eyes that could drive men crazy. Her straight and delicate nose was irresistibly elegant and she had a pair of thin pink lips. The expression on her face was a little shy, but also had a trace of subtle invitation. Her reluctant yet bare temptation was deadly and could challenge the limit of any man.
This was a lady that could bring calamity to the kingdom. She had a devastatingly beautiful face which exuded an aura that could trigger one’s explosive impulse.
The Heart Toxin Talisman’s best tactics lay in its psychological offense. Its effect was doubled on anyone without a stone-like heart and its effect would multiply by many-fold on a lecherous person. It created a hallucination in the opponent’s brain and its impact was directly related to the spirit energy and the drawing techniques of the person who drew the talisman.
This was also the reason Qing Shui had chosen to draw the Heart Toxin Talisman. He admitted that his heart still wasn’t completely stone-like, although he wasn’t too far from that level. Even so, this Heart Toxin Talisman had still managed to make him absent minded and there were definitely not many who were stone-hearted.
Lecherous men could be found anywhere. The more powerful a person was, the lonelier and more affected by female charm he tended to be. Appetite and lust were only natural. It was really rare to find someone who could truly live without any lust or desire.
He also wondered if this type of Heavenly Talisman would have any effects on women, or how a person would be after being hit by this Heavenly Talisman. After thinking for a moment, Qing Shui decided to draw one so that he could try it on himself. That way, he’d be able to clear all his doubts.
Since he was learning a new Heavenly Talisman, there was no way he’d be able to instantly draw a Grade Five talisman. Then again, his realm of drawing had already reached the level of drawing bones. This meant that if he drew again now, he’d be able to get double the results with half the effort.
