Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2385 - 2321: The Enigmatic Talisman Diagram
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Chiang Xiao remained oblivious to the events transpiring at the art academy.
On that particular day, she passed several bottles of potion—featuring an increased share of spring water—to Old Meng for delivery to Meng Chaojun, while arranging for Ding Haijing to travel alongside him.
The situation weighed on her a bit, prompting her to retreat into the Space following dinner. She began by concocting numerous bottles of potion at diverse purity levels and placing them nearby, then simmered a hefty batch of Ginseng Water and Ganoderma water before preserving it after cooling.
From here on, whenever hydration became necessary, she could simply sip from this supply, guaranteeing a rapid restoration of her health.
Seated now beside the second-floor window in the Bamboo Hut, she peered outward to observe the Medicinal Garden alongside the flower and tea gardens, all cloaked in a hazy mist.
Chiang Xiao realized this wasn't mere ordinary fog; instead, the vegetation had awakened with vitality, their Spiritual Energy coalescing into vapor that lingered around them, facilitating endless uptake of this essence.
Each specimen displayed an extraordinarily lush and appealing vigor.
In the center, the Ginseng and Lingzhi particularly shone, their forms so captivating that even individuals unfamiliar with such flora would find them mesmerizing.
As the primary plants thrived robustly, the adjacent seedlings naturally burgeoned with equal success.
Chiang Xiao lingered by the window, gazing for some time, and a soothing calm settled over her eyes.
Her eyesight had sharpened considerably these days, owing much to the persistent infusion of Spiritual Energy from the Medicinal Garden.
Within a section of the Black Land, she had sown vegetables that sprouted at an astonishing pace, demanding near-daily harvests and thus piling a few additional baskets onto the downstairs rack.
Should ample space exist, Chiang Xiao would eagerly plant a pair of fruit trees, granting her fresh, mouthwatering produce each day—undeniably superior in taste to anything peddled in external markets.
Yet in truth, she might attempt cultivating two types, perhaps an apple tree and a mango tree.
Over the next few years, once a broader array of fruits became viable, she could introduce blueberries and cherries too, securing every delicacy her palate craved.
Harboring this notion, Chiang Xiao tucked the scheme away in her thoughts.
Currently, her focus shifted to exploring a fresh Talisman Diagram.
She had previously been clueless about its function, yet lately a hunch suggested it could induce hallucinations.
Due to the rather outdated wording in its description—referencing notions of reality and deception—she had rendered those couple of sentences earlier but failed to grasp potential applications.
Even armed with insight into its hallucinatory properties, she remained uncertain about suitable contexts for its deployment.
Having committed this Illusionary Talisman Diagram to memory, she placed it on hold, awaiting a suitable moment for trials.
Contemplating an experiment on a familiar face or even herself left Chiang Xiao lacking the boldness to proceed. Suppose the influence proved enduring—how then could she dispel it?
Thus, should the opportunity arise, she would seek out a unfortunate test subject.
Yet another Talisman Diagram existed, named the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram.
This one offered zero guidance, though it comprised half of a paired formation, leaving her equally in the dark regarding its placement or activation.
Prior to deciphering the inscriptions, Chiang Xiao assumed that mere translation would unravel the mysteries, but reality proved otherwise entirely.
For despite the renderings, enigmas lingered aplenty concerning their essence, methods of employment, and ideal scenarios.
Consequently, she resolved to memorize the strokes for the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram and retain it mentally for the interim.
The third Talisman Diagram she had delved into of late proved even more peculiar, bearing the title Lost Symbol Chart.
She had rendered those four terms yet struggled to comprehend their implication.
However, with 'lost' and 'death' embedded in its designation, her wariness deepened, compelling her to avoid any haphazard experimentation.
What if it held the power to end a life?
