Chapter 1: The Mysterious Boy

Meng Yingying could not help but pinch her white, tender thigh...! ... It hurts!

Meng Yingying's face immediately flushed red: "I absolutely do not want to!"

A sense of joy that inspires appreciation for works of art

There are mistakes here, and there are mistakes here as well, mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, mistakes... all wrong! Chutian swiftly drew a dozen scarlet circles on the design diagram: "Runes are incorrect, formations are overlapping, logic is chaotic, and the creativity is absurd... Beginners are bound to make mistakes, and they have made every single one of them. Is this designing talismans? It is simply a perfect display of errors. Although your teacher is a fool, the courage to publish such garbage is indeed commendable, and this is something I personally admire." Beginners are bound to make mistakes, and they have made every single one of them. Is this designing talismans? It is simply a perfect display of errors. Although your teacher is a fool, the courage to publish such garbage is indeed commendable, and this is something I personally admire.

So disappointing

This is simply something that is even inferior to early childhood education!" Chu Tian scoffed twice: "I say, the people of your era must have a rather low IQ!

Meng Yingying nodded foolishly

Meng Yingying smiled apologetically: "All the homework I have accumulated over the past month is right here. The teacher will check it tomorrow, and I haven't solved a single problem. I'm handing it over to you now, let's see if you can solve it."

In the deep of night, the moonlight flows like water, and all is silent.

Fourteen thousand two hundred years ago, the human race mastered the art of talisman crafting. From that point on, they waged wars in all directions, and the territory of the empire rapidly expanded. Talismans became the primary consumable for cultivators, directly impacting their strength, the combat effectiveness of the army, and the overall power of the nation

Meng Yingying was very nervous. A very experienced sister once said that if Chutian could perform excellently every night, her future life would become very prosperous and joyful, and she would realize how foolish it was to be so rigid in the past. If one has money, one should enjoy what is meant to be enjoyed; otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of a privileged family background

A beautiful girl quietly left the room, tiptoeing as she opened the backyard gate. Her porcelain-like smooth cheeks were slightly flushed, unable to conceal the tension, anticipation, and shyness in her heart

She dares to swear to the heavens that this is the most beautiful talisman design she has ever seen in her life, possessing a magical power that captivates deeply, truly a textbook-level perfect work

Regardless of the extremely difficult and profound questions

This girl is dressed in a cool and fiery manner, with a high and taut bust, standing proudly like a mountain peak. Her waist is so slender that it seems delicate to the touch, reminiscent of a lively water snake. The ultra-short leather skirt hugs her rounded and perky hips, while her thighs are smooth and tender like white jade, exuding a vibrant youthful aura

I am not sure about the feel of it

Recognizing the type of talisman at a glance

Tonight, I must thoroughly test his abilities, hoping that Chu Tian is not merely a facade, but can meet all of my needs

One that makes people feel dizzy and very uncomfortable

Meng Yingying hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?"

You are the one with a pig's brain, how can you speak like this about Master Zhang

I never expected that the young girl, despite her age, would be so impressive

Those perfect formations and runes, those incredibly precise arrangements, those combinations filled with profound mysteries, and those imbued with artistic beauty are certainly not the result of random scribbling

She now thinks that Chu Tian is just a boastful braggart

"These tasks are too unchallenging. Do you need any other services?" Chutian gazed at the girl's legs, which were very white, long, slender, and rounded, resembling carved white jade, truly beautiful. "I also have a lot of experience in services like massage, bathing, and companionship for sleep. Would you like to experience it?"

Just a few minutes, such a brief few minutes

Chutian remained unfazed: "Take it out."

Meng Yingying discovered that when Chu Tian spoke, his demeanor was neither servile nor arrogant, and his speech was neither too fast nor too slow, presenting a very cultured appearance, quite unlike an ordinary slave. According to the slave trader, Chu Tian was once a nobleman who, due to certain reasons, lost his family and was pursued, ultimately falling into slavery, and was eventually purchased by Meng Yingying.

Bring me a pen

Chutian took off his coat and casually placed it on the table

Chutian has completed a brand new design on the back of the scroll

She found that writing in the Chu style was akin to a painter creating a masterpiece, with the entire process being graceful and free-spirited, filled with a sense of artistry

It is truly humiliating to have a fallen noble youth do such disgraceful things

The little girl is quite thoughtful

It is still a super simple basic question

This is a bit more than I imagined. " Chu Tian opened a talisman paper, filled with complex array symbols and patterns, and a hint of disdain suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth: " You might as well go to sleep and not worry about these assignments.

Meng Yingying leaned over to take a look, and her beautiful eyes instantly widened in surprise

Meng Yingying felt a bit confused: "Isn't it difficult?"

How could the emergence of an entirely new talisman not cause a sensation

Level 1 Rock Skin Talisman, this is my modification based on the original draft and the completion of the subsequent parts. Chu Tian explained to the girl with a dazed expression: However, due to the limitations of your teacher's thinking, this might be the worst work I have ever completed in my life. After you take it out, don't say it was drawn by me

Meng Yingying had completely lost hope in Chu Tian and angrily admonished, "When the design draft was released, it caused a sensation in Tian Nan City! The teacher has immersed himself in the studies of formations and talismans for decades, achieving a very high level of expertise. On what basis do you make such disparaging remarks? And... hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Can you hear me when I speak? What strange things are you drawing?"

Meng Yingying looked puzzled as she handed over a red crystal pen. Can this young man really understand the teacher's design drawings?

In the eyes of Chutian, there is no distinction whatsoever; he can discern clues in an instant, as if having practiced countless times, already having a clear understanding, and completing the answer with lightning speed

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the courtyard

Meng Yingying's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no, it's my sister, you quickly hide!"

Meng Yingying whispered, "I will go prepare for a moment, you take off your clothes first"

Chutian frowned and said, "Strange, it seems that someone has arrived"

Meng Yingying gazed intently, as if appreciating a feast for the eyes and mind, and before she knew it, an hour and a half had passed, with over one hundred assignments neatly stacked on the table

Ahead, a young man stands quietly in the moonlight, approximately sixteen or seventeen years old, with well-defined features, fair skin, and a tall stature. Although he is dressed in coarse linen garments, his elegant and ethereal demeanor is hard to conceal. His pair of eyes is particularly mysterious and profound, resembling the stars in the sky.

Even if you were a noble in the past and received special education for several years, how old are you? How dare you comment on Master Zhang Liqing like this

Meng Yingying had no choice but to unfurl a large scroll, revealing a multitude of intricate rune diagrams, resembling hundreds of spider webs piled together. Any ordinary person who glanced at it would immediately feel dizzy and disoriented

It is likely that I will not sleep at all tonight, so I am preparing for an all-night battle

Twenty-six thousand five hundred years ago, humanity discovered the mysteries of formations, significantly increasing productivity and laying the foundation for the transition from tribal civilization to imperial civilization

The newly designed blueprint has been reduced by more than half compared to the original draft, featuring a regular and orderly arrangement of runes. Each rune appears to have undergone countless calculations and rehearsals, with every line of the formation exuding a wonderful sense of artistry. The overall impression is one of simplicity and perfection, as if it were a natural creation.

"I apologize, Chutian, for keeping you waiting for so long," Meng Yingying's voice trembled slightly. "Everyone is asleep, come in quickly, let's go to my room, but keep your voice down."

Chutian is not entirely concerned about face; he simply does not want to reveal his abilities too early

Meng Yingying was completely unaware of her exposure, engrossed in watching for a full five minutes before finally lifting her head and saying: "I completely don't understand, but your drawing is really beautiful!"

The classic works recorded in textbooks are likely far inferior to this talisman. Although Meng Yingying may not understand its content, from the perspective of structure and aesthetics, it can easily surpass the classic works in textbooks by a considerable margin

Meng Yingying was confused: "What do you mean by our era?"

It is truly regrettable, but I must take my leave

Meng Yingying lowered her blushing face and said, "Hmm, it's my first time"

My teacher, Master Zhang Liqing, is the president of the city's talisman association, particularly skilled in talisman crafting, and is well-known; even the city lord holds him in high regard. Are you sure you want to see the most difficult question

Meng Yingying felt somewhat embarrassed and asked in a faint, mosquito-like voice: "The trafficker said you have received specialized training, so you are very proficient in this area. Do you really have a lot of experience?"

Chutian took a glance and concluded, "This mere Level 1 Earth-type talisman design is very crude, very immature, quite absurd, and lacks proficiency, and it is also incomplete"

If discovered, then one's reputation will be ruined

Forty thousand two hundred years ago, the wise ancestors of humanity comprehended the principles of creation and discovered the path to cultivate primordial energy, thus acquiring the means to secure their existence and livelihood

Help me!

Never mind!

Meng Yingying is very much looking forward to it

She was completely unaware of what this meant

Meng Yingying became increasingly fascinated as she looked on, unconsciously bending over, nearly leaning onto the table. Her chest, adorned with a pair of heavy white rabbits, lowered her collar, revealing half of her full curves. The taut, snow-white flesh accentuated the peaks, while a deep valley was enough to ignite the imagination of any man

However, Meng Yingying found it difficult to resist this temptation. It is hard to speak of, but since the age of twelve or thirteen, she has often fantasized about having such a person by her side

Meng Yingying struggled to drag out a large wooden box

Chutian realized he had let something slip and immediately changed the subject, saying: "Alright, let's not talk about that. Please show me the most difficult question first."

"Pah, a dog cannot spit out ivory!" Meng Yingying quickly explained, "I tell you, there are many bad people in the city. I have arranged an identity for you as our family's new chef apprentice. There is an empty room in the house; you can take the key and go there."

Chutian shrugged: "I think there is no problem"

Meng Yingying has a rather simple mindset, her mind is filled with concerns about whether the mysterious fellow can be relied upon and whether he can actually complete the assignment. With these thoughts weighing on her mind, she naturally cannot rest easy to sleep, so she sits nearby to supervise, fearing that Chu Tian might slack off.

This is a spacious and bright bedroom, featuring marble flooring, a handcrafted wooden bed, and uniquely shaped lighting fixtures. The entire design is carved from crystal in the form of a lotus flower, resembling a beautiful piece of art, radiating a soft glow. The walls are adorned with murals, and the table is piled high with books. A pink gauze canopy gently sways, exuding a faint, delicate fragrance, creating an ambiguous atmosphere, making it an ideal place for an affair

Simply outrageous and arrogant to the extreme

Disappointment

Chutian stood up and stretched widely: "I'm so bored, I'm almost falling asleep."

This is almost an impossible task

I spent half a year’s allowance to buy him back, but if it proves to be worthwhile, then in the future I will have plenty of time to enjoy myself freely!

A trace of surprise flashed in Chu Tian's dark eyes: "Is this really considered difficult?"

No

Two completely opposite experiences

This is a brand new earth-based talisman that the teacher has been researching. When the progress reached about 80%, it could not be advanced any further. The teacher truly could not find a way forward, thus he published the design drafts in hopes of seeking inspiration to complete the subsequent creation. Out of curiosity, I took a copy back, but I couldn't even understand it, let alone provide any useful ideas. I advise you not to waste your time; this is not something that an average person can comprehend...

She discovered a phenomenon

Meng Yingying closed the door to her room, appearing somewhat reserved, with fine beads of sweat dotting her nose. Her exquisitely beautiful cheeks were flushed, and as her chest rose and fell, her clothes were stretched tightly, giving the impression that they might tear at any moment. Her small hands were clenched tightly, unsure of where to place them.

Unconstrained, not rigid, executed with precision, and naturally harmonious

I have arrived

Chutian marked more than ten serial numbers and wrote relevant notes in the blank spaces

Because it generally takes an average person at least several days to discern it

Life and youth are limited; one should enjoy pleasures in a timely manner

A large pile of books and scrolls, resembling a small mountain, has all fallen onto the table

That represents countless wealth, honor, and prestige

Is it the legendary youthful beauty that is hard to come by?

This is not a dream; this guy completed a month's worth of tasks in less than two hours

What is this guy thinking about?

Ah, you don't know?" Meng Yingying's face immediately showed disappointment. "This incomplete Fireball Talisman, being a Level 1 talisman, has a structure that is too complex, making it very difficult to repair. Only a true talisman master can accomplish this. However, the teacher did not require the repair to be completed; this is a set of error correction exercises. The talisman has twelve errors, and as long as you find five, it will be considered qualified. Here is a reference book; please take a look at it.

When Chutian was about to leave with the key

Meng Yingying felt both shocked and surprised: "Have you seen the design drawings?"

After a month of psychological struggle, she finally made the decision to indulge herself for once

Chutian smiled and said, "There are not many naive rich young ladies like you."

Chutian curiously asked: "Is this your first time doing something like this?"

Chutian let out a long yawn: "You know, I was held captive by a group of slave traders, and I haven't had a good night's sleep for several days and nights. Now I need to find a place to catch up on some rest. So, are you planning to let me crash on your bed?"
