Wang Yun's progress was not going smoothly at all. While he was searching for books inside someone else's residence, the effect of his Invisibility Talisman would suddenly wear off and he would be caught by someone. Mistaken for a thief, he had no choice but to give up and escape using a Transfer Talisman.
If he happened to run into a wealthy and influential household, the estate guards would pursue him relentlessly. Over the span of three days, he had only managed to tear up forty or fifty talismans, while alarming a dozen families who shouted at the top of their lungs to catch the thief. Fortunately, he was quick-witted at the time and had covered his face with a cloth, otherwise his name would have ended up on the wanted posters for thieves.
Recalling how terrified and anxious he had felt at the very beginning, Wang Yun remembered that all of it had been fueled by his desire to learn a different Cultivation Formula. After repeating the process a few times, he grew accustomed to it, and actually found it rather fun and somewhat thrilling.
