Chapter 30

when he was looking through the "Detailed Explanation of Basic Talismans" just now,

he discovered two very interesting talismans!

First is the Heart-Bewitching Talisman,

after using it, it can bewitch the opponent’s mind,

making them feel close to the user,

and they will subconsciously agree with what the user says.

But because this is only a basic talisman,

the effect is limited to a special psychological suggestion,

and it does not have the effect of forcing others to obey the user’s orders!

And,

for some people with relatively strong mental power,

the effect will be further reduced,

or even lose its effect!

The validity period is only three minutes.

Second is the Blinding Talisman,

this is an extended use of the blinding method,

after using it, it can make the surrounding people subconsciously ignore the user’s existence!

Similarly,

because it is a basic talisman,

for some people with relatively strong mental power,

the effect will be further reduced,

or even lose its effect,

and the validity period is ten minutes.

These two types of talismans opened a new world for Li Xiao,

and after figuring out the effects of the two talismans,

Li Xiao came up with a brand-new idea!

However,

the premise of this brand-new idea is that Li Xiao must be able to successfully draw these two talismans!

Regarding this,

Li Xiao didn't have much confidence either.

After all, he had only had this "Detailed Explanation of Basic Talismans" for half a day,

and he had never tried to draw talismans before,

whether he could draw them successfully was another matter!

After the meal,

Li Xiao began to busy himself alone,

while Robin simply sat by the bed,

took a book out of her backpack and started reading.

According to Li Xiao’s previous understanding of talismans,

drawing talismans should require preparing specific items such as yellow paper and cinnabar,

but the "Detailed Explanation of Basic Talismans" gave another statement!

The reason why talismans are formed and have effects,

the key lies in two points!

The first is the unique patterns and textures on each talisman;

the second is spiritual power!

As for what materials are used,

cinnabar or ink,

yellow paper or white paper,

it actually doesn't matter!

Of course,

this is only a basic talisman,

higher-level talismans might have requirements for materials,

but Li Xiao didn't know about that.

On the way out for a stroll in the morning,

Li Xiao specifically bought paper and pens.

Not only that,

before in Windmill Village and Cocoyasi Village,

because they were relatively remote,

the things that could be bought in the village were very limited,

for example, the simple gray cloth clothes Li Xiao was wearing now,

were given by Makino when he was in Windmill Village!

Now that he had finally arrived in Loguetown,

Li Xiao took the opportunity to do a big shopping,

and he bought some of all the daily necessities that might be used,

and put them in his Sumeru Ring,

and he also specially bought a few loose casual clothes!

The reason why he hadn't changed into them yet,

was mainly because he happened to meet Robin,

and there was no place for him to change clothes right now.

Li Xiao withdrew his wandering thoughts,

took out paper and pens from his Sumeru Ring,

spread out the "Detailed Explanation of Basic Talismans" on the table,

and began to try drawing talismans. ===== CHAPTER 97 =====

In fact,

with such a prenatal-level detailed explanation of talisman teaching,

plus Li Xiao’s current not-bad cultivation base,

drawing some basic talismans was far simpler than he imagined!

After experiencing more than a dozen failures,

Li Xiao gradually mastered the drawing of these two talismans.

During the period when Li Xiao was drawing talismans,

Robin had actually secretly observed him.

Because Li Xiao didn't intend to cover it up,

therefore,

Robin could easily see everything on Li Xiao’s table.

However,

to anyone other than Li Xiao,

those talismans were no different from ghost drawings,

no matter how she tried to distinguish them, she couldn't tell what on earth they were!

Just like primitive people would never recognize a mouse or keyboard even if they died, ===== CHAPTER 110 =====

This is something completely outside the scope of cognition!

Without relevant help,

it is impossible to understand at all.

As for that opened book, "Detailed Explanation of Basic Talismans,"

Luo Bin could not understand it either,

because the characters used in it were the Chinese characters from Li Xiao's past life!

However,

although Luo Bin could not understand it,

she could distinguish that it was a language!

And judging from the fact that it could be used to compile books,

this language must be quite complete!

This immediately aroused Luo Bin's curiosity!

As an archaeologist,

and also the last remaining scholar of Ohara,

her knowledge base, even looking across the entire ocean,

was second to none!

Yet,

Luo Bin had never seen the characters used in that book,

no matter how she recalled,

she could not find any information related to those characters in her memory!

This seemed to be a language that had never been recorded!

In the end,

Luo Bin could only helplessly choose to give up,

but deep down, she felt an extra bit of curiosity toward Li Xiao!

About two hours later,

Li Xiao slowly stretched.

After two hours of effort,

he had not only mastered the drawing of these two types of talismans,

but had also drawn ten of each,

placing them in his Sumeru Ring for backup.

Li Xiao stood up and looked out the window,

seeing that it was already approaching evening,

the sunset spilling onto the streets,

the hustle and bustle not diminished in the slightest.

Li Xiao put all his belongings into the Sumeru Ring,

turned around, and greeted Luo Bin:

"Let's go, everything is ready, let's go get a ship!"

Hearing this,

Luo Bin put the book into her bag,

put on her hat,

and then followed Li Xiao out of the inn,

merging into the crowd on the street.

Li Xiao and Luo Bin walked side by side on the street,

Luo Bin subconsciously pulled down the brim of her hat,

covering her face,

while whispering to Li Xiao beside her:

"Where are we going?"

Li Xiao pointed to the end of the street,

and replied:

"The pier!"

Hearing this,

Luo Bin immediately stopped in her tracks,

and asked Li Xiao:

"There are quite a few Marines at the pier now, are you going there to find a ship on the spot?"

Li Xiao nodded,

took out a Blinding Talisman,

activated it with spiritual power, and stuck it on Luo Bin.

Luo Bin only felt an indescribable, mysterious, invisible force enveloping her,

as if isolating her from the surrounding world.

Immediately after,

Luo Bin discovered,

that people were coming and going on the street,

with people constantly approaching from the opposite direction,

and these people would subconsciously avoid her,

yet they acted as if they could not see her at all!

Before Luo Bin could ask,

Li Xiao took the initiative to explain:

"This is a Blinding Talisman, a type of talisman; of course, you don't need to worry about what exactly a talisman is!"

"In short, with this thing, within ten minutes, for ordinary people, even if you stand right in front of them, they will subconsciously ignore you!"

"Among the Marines currently in Loguetown, besides Smoker, there shouldn't be anyone else who can notice you."

"Right now, Smoker is most likely still searching in Loguetown and won't appear at the pier, don't worry!"

After saying this,

Li Xiao lifted his feet and continued walking toward the pier.

Luo Bin stood there stunned for a moment,

and tried to actively stop someone,

that person bumped into Luo Bin's arm,

staggered,

but showed no sign of having noticed Luo Bin,

just continuing to walk forward in a daze.

Seeing this,

after thinking for a few seconds,

Luo Bin still lifted her feet and followed Li Xiao's pace.

After walking for a few minutes,

the two arrived at the pier.

Looking from afar,

they saw that quite a few Marine soldiers were already scattered all over the pier,

and the person in charge was none other than Smoker's direct subordinate—Tashigi!

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly,

walked straight toward Tashigi,

and at the same time, with a thought,
