Zheng Fa flipped through the first volume of "Complete Understanding of Talisman Diagram" that was beside Seventh Young Master and squinted hard at the seam of the pages, finally making out four densely packed words:
"Save the child..."
He turned his head to look at the room filled with bookshelves and felt a bit panicked. No matter how good his memory was, not even a dozen brains would suffice in the face of a room full of books.
The method of exhaustive search must die!
"How then, can one prove mastery of one hundred and eight Basic Primordial Talismans?" Zheng Fa asked the question he had long wanted to ask.
He remembered that to become a Talisman Master one needed to decode one hundred and eight Primordial Talismans. If it were just these, it did not seem to be too many.
Seventh Young Master sat down and began to explain to Zheng Fa: "I just mentioned that the number of talismanic diagrams is continuously increasing, right?"
Zheng Fa nodded.
