FORSAKEN IMMORTALS

Chapter 311: Choosing the Next Profession



Chapter 311: Choosing the Next Profession

"Of course." Bai Rouyun smiled happily as she rubbed Jiaojiao's hair with a pampering smile in her eyes. She absolutely adored this little girl who resembled a doll, but had a firm mind and was willing to work hard for a better future.

Not to mention, if Jiaojiao was going to train alongside her, they would now be two to gather the resources needed, then the time should be halved, right?

While Jiaojiao was smiling happily, the other four children looked at their newfound sister with pity. Although they all felt that this little dragon-girl was very smart and adorable, it seemed that she lost all her intelligence when being close to Bai Rouyun.

She was so grateful to be able to train alongside their mother, but had she ever thought that she might end up being cheated into becoming cheap labor?

However, all of them knew that even if they seemed somewhat disdainful of Jiaojiao's eagerness to sell her working power like this, they all wanted to join as well.

Bai Rouyun was eccentric in many ways, but she was the person they had fully accepted. To them, she was not a master or a superior; she was their family. Even though her habit of kidnapping and picking up children from random places was bad, they still accepted all these siblings that were cheated into staying with them.

"But, although we want to study all three professions, we can't do all at once. We have to focus on one thing at a time and gain at least a basic foundation and understanding before even considering starting with the next profession on the list.

"So, my dear daughter, do you want to focus on armament forging or talisman writing first? I am not going to consider inscriptions for a time, as I would suggest we wait with that until we have gained a certain level of proficiency of armament mastery since the inscriptions have to be etched on various treasures, weapons, and armory."

Bai Rouyun was often considered unreliable, but when it concerned important matters, she was the one to find the most suitable methods and solutions to many things.

Right now, her attention was on the most suitable profession, but instead of just taking a random one, she was putting consideration into deciding on what profession she wanted to pick.

"I think we should consider talismans." Jiaojiao's brows were slightly wrinkled as she spoke. She had been listening earlier when the various professions were described, and she felt that this would be the most suitable profession to learn first.

"I would imagine that armament mastery is also important, but weapons and armor are not the most urgent for us now. Our current cultivation ranks are not high enough to depend on weapon quality, as we cannot display the weapon's true power, so instead, we should make the talismans and depend on them to have some extra safety measures in case we encounter danger."

"Good. You are so adorable." Bai Rouyun smiled happily as she looked at Jiaojiao's serious expression. She understood that this little girl was truly considering their options from all directions, and this seriousness made her very happy.

She had also decided that talismans would be the most suitable for them with their current strength and situation, and seeing that her adorable daughter had thought about the same thing made her even more thrilled and proud of her cute child.

"Xiao Bao, my little treasure, you definitely know how to draw talismans, right?"

Having made a decision, Bai Rouyun did not hesitate to rush to her oldest son. Her eyes shone with excitement and happiness as she lost all the aura of an elder.

"I do have some books on this topic." Although Xiao Bao felt that he had a grudge against Bai Rouyun and her previous reincarnation for leaving him alone for so long, he was only saying so in his heart, and even he himself had a hard time believing those words.

So, as a true tsundere, Xiao Bao looked away with a pout and verbally complained, "you already decided that you were going to train in the crafting of talismans, but only now do you realize that you have to depend on me for everything. What would you do if I was not around."

Even though Xiao Bao was seemingly complaining and unhappy, his ears had turned slightly red and his eyes were floating with suppressed happiness.

His words of annoyance were enough to make even Jiaojiao realize why this oldest brother was known to be arrogant and willful, but, in fact, had a gentle and considerate heart. Her oldest brother was very cute.

As Xiao Bao handed over a few books and scrolls to Bai Rouyun, he did not hesitate to make things difficult for Bai Rouyun.

"Although I have these formulas and recipes, you have to be aware that talisman crafting is very different from alchemy. With Alchemy, you can make pills as long as you have the herbs needed and a cauldron, however talismans are much more demanding for the materials needed.

"Not only do you need to have a special kind of rice paper that is used to write the talismans on, but you also need to create the ink from countless rare materials. Some are ores and gems like these that have been pulverized into dust; while others are herbs. There are some special talismans that might even use a special type of beast's blood, or some other specific kind of reagent.

"When the many materials have been prepared, they have to be milled into a special kind of solution, which is a spiritual liquid that will enhance and merge the properties well to create the ink.

"The spiritual liquid is usually extremely expensive. However, you do have it in the first level of the pagoda, so that is not an issue. The main problem is the rice paper. Rice paper cannot be found within this dimension."
