"That’s about it."
Chen Lusi explained briefly, then concluded, "Since you’ve received the orders, and the formation of the task force was clearly influenced by the Imperial Capital incident, plus that... old man also inquired about the talismans, I think I know what to do.
At this stage, I will enable you all to use talismans, and even draw them. Alongside that, I’ll feed you Spirit Balls to elevate your tier, and familiarize you with the Shrinking Earth Talisman, striving to have you perform coordinated group transfers.
However, the matter of talismans is still confidential. Whether personally or for the higher-ups at the Celestial Strategy Mansion, now isn’t the ti to reveal this, especially with the Celestial Punishnt Weapon controversy not yet settled.
So, for practice, you can use easily drawable A4 paper, but once proficient, you must learn to draw the talismans on small pieces of talisman paper... That way, even if you’re seen using talismans during missions, others might speculate that it’s sothing Daoism brought out from their stash, considering the well-known cessation of the Daoist Lineage.
Not aiming to hide for long, it’ll likely be exposed eventually, but at least until the Celestial Punishnt Weapon controversy is over.
Besides, even as a misleading smoke screen, it has its significance."
Originally, drawing talismans could have been handled by Daoism.
Yet coincidentally, with the Celestial Punishnt Weapon leak incident bursting, the Daoists from the four notable Daoist mountains t Ji Xin before leaving. Realizing the significance, they didn’t send more disciples to ’inherit the Daoist Lineage’, opting instead to keep it under wraps and thoroughly research Chen Lusi’s simplified talismans first.
Thus, only four Daoists can draw the talismans simplified by Chen Lusi, which even Zhang Daoling wouldn’t recognize anymore.
To have these four Daoists draw all the talismans needed for an entire squad, regardless of whether their status fits... The amount would likely exhaust them, and Chen Lusi believes there’s no need to burden them at their age.
Moreover, becoming reliant later would be quite troubleso.
Chen Lusi instructed the Security Army on precautions.
He seed unaware...
All the precautions he just ntioned, neither Ji Xin, Xia Yue, nor Si Yujie had ever instructed him on.
Those words... were actually thoughts from his own mind.
Not only did he not notice.
Li Zheng and others didn’t notice either; they even found it naturally justified.
Hearing Chen Lusi’s words.
They swiftly snapped out of their excited state, faces stern, nodding earnestly, then responding in unison, "Understood."
Except for one person...
"Chen Lusi... You’re incredible!!! You’ve managed to restore the Daoist Lineage!? Talismans! Those legendary talismans! The Daoist Lineage that Daoism has sought for centuries! No current Daoist could draw talismans like this! This is amazing! I want to learn too! I want to join the response task force!"
Shu Li, with her ponytail released, jumped in place as if unsealed.
Yet even as Chen Lusi released her ponytail, she didn’t intend to let go of Chen Lusi’s clothing, grabbing it while bouncing.
With each bounce, Chen Lusi’s clothes were tugged and deford.
Chen Lusi: "..."
He was weighing whether to restrain Shu Li’s ponytail to distance her or to give a hand chop to her seemingly solid head.
Suddenly.
The mist in the Gourd Anomaly Realm began to ripple.
Then Xia Panqiu and Lin Ying appeared before everyone.
They landed and imdiately saw Shu Li clinging to Chen Lusi’s clothes, jumping around.
Xia Panqiu was montarily stunned.
Lin Ying silently gazed at Shu Li, her beautiful peach blossom eyes reflecting Shu Li’s figure.
Noticing Xia Panqiu and Lin Ying, Shu Li instantly paused, then looked at her hands, releasing Chen Lusi’s clothes as if shocked by electricity.
Xia Panqiu seed fine with it.
But she still vividly rembered dragging Xia Panqiu enthusiastically to find Chen Lusi, only to be hypnotized by a single word from Lin Ying, returning confused.
For so reason.
This made Shu Li a bit intimidated by the gentle-looking Lin Ying.
"...Lin Wan is renting a place?"
Chen Lusi turned and saw Lin Ying, instinctively asking.
"Yes."
Lin Ying responded, then approached Chen Lusi.
Xia Panqiu also walked over.
Shu Li, seeing Xia Panqiu, snapped back to reality, hands by her sides, awkwardly shuffling over, then grabbed Xia Panqiu’s wrist, wildly signaling with her eyes.
Xia Panqiu seed to not understand her signals, lightly glaring at her before turning to Chen Lusi, asking, "What’s going on here?"
Si Yujie hadn’t inford her about the task force.
But as soon as she descended and saw Li Zheng and others, she realized sothing was off.
Chen Lusi explained the situation to her, and of course, also for Lin Ying.
anwhile, on the other side, Li Zheng and the others, seeing Chen Lusi explaining to the ’new mbers’ about the task force, took the opportunity to study the Shrinking Earth Talisman drawn by Chen Lusi on A4 paper.
"Task force..."
After hearing Chen Lusi’s explanation, Xia Panqiu glanced at Li Zheng and the others, then at Chen Lusi, finding it equally unbelievable.
She could understand the intent behind the high-level decision and also why Chen Lusi was made the task force commander.
But understanding... doesn’t an the matter is any less significant.
This is huge! Not to ntion the nature of this newly-ford force, just the composition alone speaks too clearly.
