"As easy as it sounds, the actual execution is pretty tough. Everyone has their individual circumstances and the difficulties they need to overcome in order for the three elements to harmonize are also varied.

Yu Yan looked Shen Luo in the eyes and pinpointed his problem.
"Uncle, your observation is spot on. I was attacked by Yin Qi a few years ago and it took me several years to recover from my illness", Shen Luo responded by nodding his head in agreement.
"That explains it. When you drew the talisman earlier, your energy and spirit were well integrated but the combination of your spirit and Qi was lacking. The talisman you drew ended up being merely form without substance; naturally, you were bound to fail." Yu Yan took a sip of his Snake Gallbladder Wine and grinned.
