Chapter 4686: Talented “Yes, you may. You can live here from now on.” He gently rubbed her head and said, “See if there’s anything you need. I’ll go down the mountain to buy it in a few days.” “Mm hmm~” Yue’er replied with a bright smile. Hao’er looked up at him and asked, “Master, can you teach us how to make puppets first?” They were still young, and many tasks proved difficult for them to accomplish independently. Possessing puppets would definitely make things considerably easier. The Azure Emperor cast a glance at him, placed his hands behind his back, and began to walk towards the outside of the cave, saying, “Follow me.” They followed him to the stone table situated outside their cave abode and watched attentively as he retrieved several pieces of talisman paper, cinnabar, and a brush, placing them carefully on the table. He then said, “First, I will teach you how to create puppets using talisman paper. This method will be relatively straightforward for you to grasp. Observe closely.” He paused, his gaze sweeping over them, before picking up the brush. He dipped it deliberately into the cinnabar and then proceeded to draw a complex symbol on the talisman paper. Ceasing his writing, he instructed them, “Copy this symbol exactly. You must draw it in a single, continuous stroke, and as you lift the brush to begin, you must imbue it with your spirit energy.” “Master, can this really be used as a puppet?” Yue’er asked, her eyes fixed on the talisman paper with unconcealed curiosity. The Azure Emperor picked up the inscribed talisman paper, subtly activated it with a flick of his wrist, and tossed it lightly into the air. The moment it touched the ground, it underwent a remarkable transformation, materializing into a handsome young man. The three children couldn’t help but widen their eyes in astonishment, their faces lighting up with delight. “Go boil some water and prepare some tea,” the Azure Emperor instructed the newly formed puppet. The young puppet responded immediately and turned to carry out the task. “Master, how did you do that? That’s so amazing!” Yue’er exclaimed excitedly, stepping forward eagerly. “I want to learn it too! I want to learn it too!” The Azure Emperor smiled warmly and explained, “When you draw a talisman and activate it, you only need to focus your thoughts on the appearance you desire for the puppet, and it will transform according to your mental image. However, this type of talisman puppet has a limited lifespan. In the future, when you master advanced puppet making techniques, you will only need to place some crystal stones within them, and they will perpetually obey your commands and perform any task you assign. Furthermore, they will also become formidable fighters.” He then stood up, smoothly brushed off his robe, and announced, “Alright, you guys can begin practicing now!” He reached into his space and took out several pieces of talisman paper, handing them to the children. He then took out another two talisman brushes and a small container of cinnabar. Only after ensuring they had the necessary materials did he walk over to a shady spot beneath a nearby tree. With a wave of his hand, a comfortable-looking soft couch appeared before him. He then lay down on it to rest. Witnessing this, the three children eagerly gathered around the stone table and began their practice. Hao’er, being a few years older than both Muchen and Muyue, naturally grasped the technique more quickly. However, despite their young age, Muchen and Muyue were remarkably gifted and intelligent. The three of them diligently practiced without interruption until the light began to fade into dusk. It was only then that the Azure Emperor, who had been peacefully sleeping under the shady tree not far away, finally opened his eyes. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶 As he opened his eyes and turned his head slightly, he observed Hao’er expertly throw out a completed talisman. As soon as it was activated by Hao’er’s spiritual energy, it instantly transformed into the figure of a man. Upon witnessing this, the Azure Emperor’s eyes flashed with surprise, and an unusual light flickered across his smiling, captivating peach blossom eyes. He couldn’t help but focus his gaze on Hao’er, a hint of astonishment evident in his expression. He hadn’t anticipated that this child would possess such remarkable talent and quick understanding. Had he truly mastered the basics after only an afternoon of practice? With such innate ability, how exceptionally outstanding would he become as he matured? At that moment, a feeling of profound excitement welled up within him. Just how extraordinary would his three disciples become when they reached their full potential? “Wow! Big Brother, you’re so incredibly good! You actually drew it successfully?” Yue’er exclaimed, her small face radiating pure surprise and delight.
