147: Chapter 147 Purple Entry! Clear Mind!

[In the dead of night, Zhang Ruowei had already fallen into a deep sleep on the soft couch nearby.]

[She had been through too much shock today; mentally and physically exhausted, she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.]

[Tang Xun slowly opened his eyes. After confirming that the Restrictions around the room were normal, he completely immersed his mind into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.]

[In the Sea of Consciousness, that familiar and ancient roulette wheel was floating quietly.]

[In the center of the roulette wheel, a golden pointer was trembling slightly, seemingly impatient.]

[“System, start the draw.”]

[Tang Xun muttered in his heart.]

[Instruction received, annual trait draw beginning...]

[trait pool probabilities: White Common 99%, Green Rare 0.9%, Purple Epic 0.089%, Golden Legendary 0.01%, Chromatic Mythic 0.001%]

[The roulette wheel began to spin rapidly, and countless streaks of light flashed before Tang Xun's eyes—white, white, and still an endless expanse of white.]

[Occasionally, a faint green light would flash and vanish.]

[Tang Xun's mood remained undisturbed.]

[After over a hundred years, he had long grown accustomed to these despairing probabilities.]

[The rotation of the wheel grew slower and slower, the pointer gliding slowly through the countless white lights.]

[Tang Xun's heart was calm, he even felt like yawning.]

[However, at the very moment the pointer was about to stop, a sudden change occurred!]

[A brilliant, dazzling purple glow, unlike anything seen before, erupted without warning from the depths of the wheel!]

[As if drawn by an invisible force, the pointer suddenly jumped, skipping over several white traits and landing with pinpoint accuracy right on that cluster of purple light!]

[Buzz—]

[A soft chime, as if coming from the source of the Great Dao, echoed deep within Tang Xun's Soul.]

[Tang Xun was completely stunned.]

[Pur... Purple?]

[He blinked hard, wondering if he was hallucinating because he hadn't slept well lately.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Epic-rank trait—Talisman Heart Clarity (Purple)!]

[The System's prompt sounded just in time, pulling Tang Xun back from his shock.]

[trait: Talisman Heart Clarity (Purple)]

[Effect 1: Talisman Way Intuition. Your understanding of Talismans is greatly enhanced, and the success rate of drawing Talismans is close to one hundred percent.]

[Effect 2: Clarity State. When drawing Talismans, there is a tiny probability that your mind will resonate with the Talisman Way Laws of heaven and earth, entering the "Clarity" state. In this state, your strokes are immediately successful, and drawing Talismans consumes almost no Spiritual Qi or Divine Sense.]

[Tang Xun read the trait's description word by word, his heart beating wildly against his will.]

[Struck it rich! Truly struck it rich this time!]

[This is practically a Divine-Grade trait tailor-made for him!]

[What is he lacking most right now?]

[It's not a Cultivation Technique; the Five Qi Towards Origin Sword Canon is enough for him to Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage Late Stage.]

[It's not combat power; with a Late Core Formation Stage cultivation, a fourth-layer savage god Physical Body, and the li fire sword, he has more than enough for self-preservation.]

[What he lacks most is a stable, efficient, and rapidly liquidatable means of making money!]

[A "life skill" that allows him to develop steadily and make a fortune in silence!]

[Alchemy? He has the Alchemy Genius trait, but Materials for Advanced Medicinal Pills are too hard to find.]

[Artifact Refining? That's even more of a bottomless pit; without massive resources and time investment, one can't see results at all.]

[But Talisman making is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice!]

[The cost of Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink is relatively low; as long as the technique is up to par, one can continuously create value.]

[The only thresholds are the success rate and the massive consumption of Divine Sense and Spiritual Qi.]

[And now, the Talisman Heart Clarity trait perfectly solves these two biggest pain points!]

[A success rate close to one hundred percent—what kind of concept is that?]

[It means he can treat Talisman making like assembly-line production, with costs suppressed to the minimum and profits raised to the maximum!]

[Not to mention that Heaven-Defying "Clarity" state—success with every stroke, almost zero consumption!]

[If the Talisman masters in the Central Continent who make a living through Talisman making knew about this, they would probably go insane on the spot, crying and shouting to take him as their master.]

[“It seems even the heavens can't stand me being poor; this is pointing out a path to wealth for me.”]

[Tang Xun couldn't help but laugh out loud.]

[He immediately equipped this newly acquired purple trait into his trait slot.]

[The moment he equipped Talisman Heart Clarity, Tang Xun felt his head go "buzz," as if it had been washed clean by something.]

[In his perception, the entire world became different.]

[The Spiritual Qi flowing in the air, the wooden grain of the table and chairs, even the sound of insects in the distance... everything seemed to turn into "Talismans" composed of complex lines.]

[All things in heaven and earth are Talismans!]

[This was a mysterious and profound feeling, as if he had touched some rules of the world's Origin.]

[He impatiently took out the lowest-level first-grade blank Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink from his Storage Pouch.]

[These were things he had bought from the Sang City market out of boredom, intending to doodle with them.]

[He picked up the Talisman Brush, dipped it in ink, and took a deep breath.]

[He prepared to draw the simplest first-grade Talisman—the Fireball Talisman.]

[The moment he put brush to paper, the effect of Talisman Heart Clarity activated instantly.]

[He didn't even need to recall the talismanic structure of the Fireball Talisman.]

[Those lines were as if they were naturally engraved in his mind.]

[His wrist didn't have the slightest hesitation or pause, moving across the Talisman Paper like flowing water.]

[Spiritual Qi followed the tip of the brush, accurately injected into every node of the Talisman Paper.]

[A bit more would be an overflow, a bit less would be a deficit.]

[The entire process was so smooth it made him feel incredible.]

[The final stroke fell.]

[Buzz!]

[A flash of red light appeared on the Talisman Paper, and a wave of scorching heat hit his face.]

[A perfect-quality first-grade Fireball Talisman was complete!]

[From start to finish, the entire process took no more than three breaths!]

[Moreover, he felt that the Spiritual Qi in his body had almost no consumption!]

[“Clarity State!”]

[Tang Xun's eyes were terrifyingly bright.]

[On his first try, he had triggered this one-in-a-ten-thousand special state!]

[This luck is simply Heaven-Defying!]

[He looked at the Fireball Talisman in his hand; the talismanic light was restrained, the structure was flawless, and its power was at least thirty percent stronger than any first-grade Fireball Talisman he had seen before!]

[A bold idea began to grow wildly in his mind.]

[With this trait, why should he work so hard to harvest leeks?]

[He could completely plant a field of leeks himself and then harvest them however he wanted!]

[His gaze involuntarily drifted toward that Jade Slip recording the forces of the Central Continent.]

[His finger slowly slid across the Jade Slip, finally stopping on an inconspicuous name.]

[Shenfu Mountain.]
