At night, Shen Luo sat alone by the window in his room. A dim yellow oil lamp lit the table in front of him, where a purple talisman paper and three green talisman papers lay.
The purple paper bore the rune of the Fractured Talisman, while each of the three Green Frost papers carried the rune of the Thunderfall Talisman. All these talismans had been completed on his journey to Yu State.
Though the success rate of the Thunderfall Talisman was not high, it used only Green Frost paper. However, the Fractured Talisman required the more precious Purple Cloud paper.
Despite Shen Luo's experience of painting talismans in his dreams and his thousands of practice runs on plain and yellow talisman papers, he still used up all the Purple Cloud paper that he had bought with his savings just to successfully create this single talisman.
