“However, this talisman only achieved the creator’s aim by using various effects to gather darkness, a mediocre thing that doesn’t deserve to be featured in elegant assemblies,”

Jiangli curled her lips in disdain.

“Even one of my Outer Sect Disciples wouldn’t qualify with this level of skill.”

Xia Xin silently touched his nose.

He couldn’t even draw such a talisman…

He probably didn’t even qualify to carry his ancestors’ shoes.

“However, there’s something rather odd,”

Jiangli, not noticing Xia Xin’s small action, stroked her chin and speculated, “Judging by this talisman, the person who drew it doesn’t seem to have much ability, just opportunistic tricks, but how could he manage to alter Lin Yurong’s memory?”

To tamper with Lin Yurong’s memory, one would either need to possess great skill or have resorted to some brutal method that shattered the soul that houses the memories.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Humans have three souls and seven spirits, each governing different contents.

The three souls are Taiguang, Shuangling, and Youjing.

Taiguang, the principal soul, governs life.

The second soul, Shuangling, is the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, representing intelligence, response capability, investigative power, judgment, logical ability, and so on.

This includes memory.

Lin Yurong does act sluggishly and appears quite gullible.

It must be due to damage to her Shuangling.

However, there are many ways to severely damage Shuangling, ranging from interference by Spiritual Energy to outright destruction.

Yet, whichever method was used, it’s not something an ordinary person could achieve.

However, the Peach Blossom Talisman on Wang Yao is mixed and formless, lacking a consistent pattern or discernible lineage, which clearly suggests it was haphazardly added and developed through research.

It’s not counted as anything decent.

Drawing a talisman doesn’t require much power.

In fact, this can hardly be considered a talisman at all.

Therefore, the person who drew it shouldn’t have been capable of turning Lin Yurong into this state.

“Ancestor, is there a possibility that the person who drew the talisman and the one who caused Lin Yurong’s memory loss are not the same?” Xia Xin proposed upon hearing Jiangli’s doubts.

Jiangli shook her head slightly, “It’s unlikely. When I searched the soul, I scrutinized the fragments of Lin Yurong’s broken soul. There were no remnants of Spiritual Energy, indicating that the perpetrator had little Cultivation Base.”

That’s where the contradiction lies.

Jiangli couldn’t figure it out.

Xia Xin scratched his head, just as baffled, “Then what’s going on?”

“I don’t know.”

Jiangli crisply uttered three words.

She then tucked away the Talisman Paper.

She said, “Anyway, now that the talisman paper is in my hands, as long as we find out Lin Yurong’s identity, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.”

Turning to Xia Xin, she patted his shoulder, entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.

“You’ll be in charge of finding the identity.”

Xia Xin pointed at himself, his expression sagging, “Me? No way, Ancestor, I’ve never done such a thing, you’re giving me too much credit! Moreover, I have to go to school tomorrow, how will I have the time?”

Jiangli stopped in her tracks, “School?”

Xia Xin nodded hastily, “Yeah, school. Ancestor, it’s like how people in your time went to study the Four Books and Five Classics. Moreover, we have even more and diverse content to learn nowadays. Not going to school is not an option!”

“Then why haven’t you gone these past two days?” Jiangli asked swiftly.

Xia Xin took out his phone, showing the calendar to Jiangli, “Ancestor, look, these two days are the weekend! We can rest on weekends and don’t have to go to school, it’s… it’s like the rest days people had in your time!”

Jiangli couldn’t understand the calendar, “What’s this called?”

“A calendar, it’s used to check the date!” Xia Xin explained eagerly, “Ancestor, look, our current calendar is similar in concept to how you mentioned what date it is today and tomorrow. Now, each month is around 30 days, and each week has seven days. After Friday comes the weekend, and during the weekend, schools are closed for two days!”
