My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

Chapter 2939 Double Defensive Array

How many jade talismans would that cost?

If this were to continue, wouldn't all the jade talismans that had been stored for decades be used up in one go?

The two of them stood there, their emotions in turmoil as they watched Qiao Mu set up an array.

This time, Qiao Mu was planning to arrange a double defensive array around the thirteen peaks. The defensive matrix needed to be placed around the six peaks on the left and the six peaks on the right. Afterward, a layer of defensive talisman matrix would be set up around the entire mountain peak.

The sheer quantity of defensive talismans being used left Chen Qi speechless and filled with awe.

Chen Qi silently counted in his heart, unsure of just how many talismans were being employed. It was becoming evident to him that the Second Headmaster was nothing short of a visionary, perhaps even a bit eccentric, but not unjustifiably so!

Could an ordinary person possess such an immense collection of talismans?

It seemed that the Second Headmaster must have emptied all the defensive talismans that had been accumulated over three generations in one fell swoop!

With so many defensive talismans at his disposal, he could potentially hold off an enemy for ten days and nights, hiding within the defensive talisman matrix and driving the enemy to madness!

At the mere thought of this, Lu Zheng and Chen Qi couldn't help but shudder.

It was truly terrifying!

The Second Headmaster's actions were beyond astounding.

Chen Qi had initially been amazed when he witnessed Lu Zheng setting up the flower stone matrix, but the Second Headmaster's display was an entirely different level of extraordinary.

As Chen Qi silently counted the consumption of the jade talismans, which had reached an astonishing 6,844 pieces, his initial shock was gradually replaced by sheer horror. His mouth hung open in disbelief.

Mo Lian observed the two of them and caught their eye contact, prompting her to quickly avert her gaze, no longer willing to witness the antics of the two bewildered old men.

His attention naturally gravitated towards Qiaoqiao, and an involuntary smile played on his lips. Every time he watched Qiaoqiao throw a talisman, it was akin to a visual feast. Her technique in deploying the talismans was nothing short of exquisite, and she did so with such aplomb, never flinching even when using an abundance of talismans. Her energy and spirit were truly remarkable.

Qiao Mu devoted an entire day and night to crafting this double defensive talisman matrix. It wasn't until the break of dawn on the following day that she finally heaved a sigh of relief and lowered her arms. Her eyes sparkled with clarity, like water cleansed of impurities. When she turned to meet Mo Lian's gaze, she couldn't resist breaking into a run towards him.

Without missing a beat, Mo Lian took a few brisk steps forward and caught her in his arms. "Why are you in such a hurry?" he asked.

Qiao Mu grinned, but when she turned around to look at Chen Qi and Lu Zheng, their expressionless faces struck her as oddly familiar. Perplexed, she blinked and inquired, "What's going on with the two of you?"

Although Lu Zheng remained silent, it seemed as though a torrential cascade of emotions was surging within him, roaring relentlessly.

After eyeing her for a moment, Chen Qi carefully asked, "Second Headmaster, were all three generations of your family practitioners of talisman magic?"

Qiao Mu smiled and replied, "You could say that."

But what did that third-generation talisman practitioner have to do with her?

"You must have exhausted all the defensive jade talismans collected by your family over three generations in just one day!" Chen Qi said with an indifferent tone.

Qiao Mu couldn't help but feel exasperated. How could these be considered talismans accumulated by her family over three generations? These were merely something she had casually created bit by bit in her spare time. They didn't hold much value.
