On the smoothly leveled desk, Qin Hao arranged the talismanic ink and laid out the talisman paper.
Holding the Eighth Grade Talisman Pen, his gaze focused.
In his mind, he reviewed the drawing details of the First-Grade Immobilization Talisman one last time.
He took a deep breath and began to write on the powder talisman paper.
"Command the great general to come here! By the power vested by heaven, earth, and man, be bound!"
Twelve characters, a spell that needed to be completed in one breath, without any breaking of the stroke or pausing.
The principle of Xuanmen Talisman is to practice thousands of times until the movements are spiritually infused.
If there were any breaks or pauses, it would indicate that the drawer's own will was not firm.
If the drawer's will wasn't firm, how could the talisman he drew be effective?
Thus, before Qin Hao started drawing a talisman, he had mentally practiced it countless times.
He practiced until he knew it extremely well before he officially began to draw.
Added to that were the powder talisman paper and the Eighth Grade Talisman Pen; how could he possibly fail?
His first attempt at drawing the talisman was successful.
As the spell on the talisman emitted a red light, this immobilization talisman was officially completed.
Then, Qin Hao began to draw the second talisman.
After completing two talismans,
Qin Hao suddenly felt that drawing talismans wasn't as difficult as he had thought.
However, did this small talisman really possess such magical powers?
Could it truly immobilize a person in an instant just by sticking it on them?
Qin Hao looked at the immobilization talisman in his hand, considering finding someone to test it.
After all, he had never used one himself!
He glanced outside the door.
Outside his door, there was a Daoist child guarding.
Qin Hao put away the two immobilization talismans and stood up, heading toward the door.
Then, he opened the door.
On both sides of the door, two Daoist children saw Qin Hao emerge and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Heavenly Master!"
Before they could finish,
Qin Hao, taking advantage of their bowing, quickly produced two prepared immobilization talismans from each hand.
Then, slap, slap!
He smacked them onto the backs of the two.
Red light shone.
These two children were indeed immobilized by the talismans.
The two lively children had now become as still as statues, unable to move.
Qin Hao was pleased, "It really works!"
They've been tagged!
Not bad at all!
Qin Hao instantly realized the pleasure of using talismans.
Excited, he turned around and went back into his room to continue drawing the remaining ninety-something immobilization talismans.
The two Daoist children immobilized by the talismans: "???"
As he continued to draw the remaining talismans, Qin Hao's technique became more skilled.
From initially taking over a dozen seconds to draw one talisman,
Later on, drawing one talisman took less than three seconds on average.
There was no secret, only familiarity.
Gradually, Qin Hao himself lost track of how many immobilization talismans he had drawn.
Until a system prompt sounded in his ear.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of drawing one hundred talismans. The hatching progress of the Top-Grade Immortal Crane Egg is 100%!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a hidden task with a 100% success rate! Your strokes are as if possessed by divine spirit! Reward: Immense Growth of Innate Divine Ability *1! Time-Space Divine Crane bloodline!"
Task completed.
Furthermore, with a one hundred percent completion rate.
One hundred immobilization talismans, and Qin Hao hadn't made a single mistake.
The system required 90%, but Qin Hao took it straight to 100%.
Isn't this hidden task just about having the skill?
At this moment, the task was completed.
Qin Hao looked at the Top-Grade Immortal Crane Egg placed aside on the table.
Now, there seemed to be some activity within this egg.
Followed by a series of cracking sounds.
One corner of the bird egg cracked open.
A delicate crane claw reached out from the eggshell.
Then, another claw.
Finally, a hole was pushed open in the entire eggshell, and a newly born white crane crawled out.
Looking at this newly hatched white crane,
Qin Hao touched it with his finger.
The crane was still unsteady on its feet. With a slight push from Qin Hao's finger, the crane's tender legs wavered, and it sat down on the table with a thud.
It cocked its head to the side and looked at Qin Hao with a puzzled expression, "You mom?"
Qin Hao, seeing the confused look on the face of the Immortal Crane fledgling, couldn't help but laugh.
He continued to tease the young crane for a while.
Subsequently, Qin Hao extracted the task rewards.
Immense Growth of Innate Divine Ability!
Time-Space Divine Crane bloodline!
He channeled these into the body of the crane fledgling.
Moments later, the divine skills and bloodline were fully infused.
The young crane underwent earth-shattering changes.
Initially, it was just an ordinary Immortal Crane.
At best, among all Immortal Cranes, its quality was superior.
But now, things were different.
After Qin Hao infused it with the Innate Divine Ability and the ancient mythical Time-Space Divine Crane bloodline,
This Immortal Crane could also be called a young Divine Beast.
Originally, upon birth, its feathers were unattractive and yellowish-gray.
In the blink of an eye, the feathers all over its body began a massive transformation.
The ugly yellowish-gray feathers faded.
New black and white feathers grew out.
The Immortal Crane grew rapidly in a matter of moments.
In the blink of an eye, it had grown from a small size of a few tens of centimeters to a height of 1.6 meters.
Standing there, it was already exuding the aura of a Divine Beast.
"Caw!"
A loud and mournful crane cry echoed through Qin Hao's room.
Qin Hao beckoned to the Immortal Crane.
"Come here!"
The crane obediently walked to his side, allowing Qin Hao to stroke its feathers.
After all, Qin Hao had hatched it himself and personally infused the Divine Beast bloodline into it.
Naturally, the Immortal Crane was innately close to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao patted the crane's large head and spoke, "Let's go, let this poor Daoist see your abilities! See how powerful this Divine Beast bloodline really is."
Qin Hao rose and walked to the courtyard.
Behind him, the Immortal Crane followed in step.
When they reached the door, Qin Hao then realised.
He had been momentarily negligent and had forgotten to remove the immobilization talismans he stuck on the two Daoist children.
They had been standing in that position for over ten minutes.
Qin Hao suddenly felt embarrassed.
With a sweep of his sleeve, he tore off the two immobilization talismans.
The immobilization talismans were removed.
The two Daoist children finally regained their mobility.
Having maintained the bowing gesture for over ten minutes, they were completely exhausted.
They sat down on the ground with sore backs and aching waists.
The two were still in a daze.
They exchanged glances, unable to understand what had just happened.
They had merely bowed to the Heavenly Master; how had they become so exhausted?
That didn't make sense!
Right, the Heavenly Master?
The two Daoist children recalled the Heavenly Master and searched the room for his figure.
The room was empty.
At this moment, they turned their heads toward the courtyard.
They just caught Qin Hao patting the crane's head.
This crane instantly transformed, becoming multiple times larger.
Qin Hao leaped up and landed on the back of the Immortal Crane.
The crane glanced down at the two Daoist children, then flapped its wings with a single powerful beat.
Carrying Heavenly Master Qin, it transformed into a beam of light and disappeared from the Daoist children's sight.
At the spot, only the two shocked Daoist children remained.
After a long time, they finally reacted.
"Did the Heavenly Master just ascend to immortality?"
