MTL - Longevity Gourd-Chapter 42 Beginners
"Brother Xiao, why did you come back so late? I thought you had an accident, worried for a long time, and was about to save you!"
Seeing him come in, Daoist Moyang asked with concern.
Xiao Ping smiled lightly, but did not take it seriously.
If you really care so much, why are you still here now...
"It's just to work for people in Fang City and earn some spirit stones to make a living. After all, it's extremely dangerous outside Fang City, and you need to pay for spirit stones to stay here..."
Jia Lei immediately felt very empathy, shouting that he was also very poor and found a confidant.
"If our brothers learned alchemy, there would still be a shortage of spirit stone flowers! Not to mention alchemy, even drawing talismans..."
For his complaints, Xiao Ping just smiled without saying a word.
In this way, he stayed in the attic at night and did nothing; in the morning, after everyone went out, he sneaked into his yard: covered it with a futon, collected green liquid, and diluted the green liquid to ripen the seven-star grass; When the grass is mature, I comprehend the "Tian's Talisman", and every time I get a lot...
In this way, his seven-star grass grows more and more, and his understanding of Talisman is growing rapidly every day.
In this way, he soon realized that he could almost get started.
Entering the door means that you have a preliminary grasp of the basic principles, steps and precautions of drawing talismans, which means you can try to draw talismans.
Fu Lu is an ancient power. He observes wind, thunder, rain and snow, and the nature of heaven and earth.
The reason why Fulu has many powers is that it comes from the law of the Great Dao.
But not all paper can carry runes, so rune paper is needed.
Because Tian's ancestors were all qi cultivators, and they couldn't get in touch with too advanced content, there were not many basic things, which made Xiao Ping quite regretful.
As I said before, it is so unpredictable, and it has already involved the level of the Dao Law... But the rune of the first-level rune, at best, is only the shape of the rune and the fur fragments of the law. In fact, it is not that powerful. Master Qi cultivator.
There are many types of talismans, involving the types and completeness of laws, with various abilities and varying degrees of power. But what they can master is some very simple talismans.
In order to successfully draw a talisman, you first need sufficient tools: talisman paper, talisman pens, and cinnabar containing spiritual energy, spiritual ink or monster blood, etc.
The talisman paper is the carrying tool; the cinnabar and the talisman are used to make the runes appear; the cinnabar is required to have aura, because it is similar to mana, and the aura is the direct driving force for the talisman to emit its power.
These are all made of special materials. For example, the talisman paper can be made of seven-star grass, the cinnabar can be prepared from the blood of monsters, and the runes can be made of the hair of monsters...
Of course, different quality of talisman tools have different effects on the success rate of drawing talismans. Occasionally, ordinary cinnabar and higher-quality talisman paper can also be used, but the success rate is poor, and the power is extremely weak.
Some talismans are even made of various precious geniuses, which can greatly increase the power of the talisman...
In a sense, the talisman paper made of seven-star grass is a small part of the source of Tian's talisman's extraordinary power.
Xiao Ping's "Tian's Fu Dian" records the production methods of different talismans, various talisman papers, pens and even cinnabar.
However, due to material limitations, he can only buy runes and cinnabar.
Fortunately, the most critical and special talisman paper is made of spirit plants, and he can ripen a lot and make it himself.
Although he has almost gotten started with drawing talismans, it is not the best time to draw talismans.
Because if he started to practice immediately, he would definitely face a lot of failures. A lot of failures means a lot of wasted tools.
Talisman paper can ripen the seven-star grass and make a lot of it. But rune pens and cinnabar need to be purchased, especially cinnabar, which consumes far more than rune paper!
One night, when Jia Lei asked Fu Peng, Mo Yang and others about the Dao of Rune, he remembered the words of Daoist Mo Yang clearly:
"Drawing talismans is not easy, even extremely difficult, and some talisman masters even say that it is more difficult than alchemy..."
The consumption of talisman paper and cinnabar is huge, and a huge amount of spirit stones are needed.
For low-grade talisman paper alone, a dozen of them will require one spiritual stone; although cinnabar is slightly cheaper, it consumes more; Replace often…
What's more, it is very normal for a novice to fail hundreds of times in a row, and even some people with poor qualifications will fail thousands of times in a row!
This is just the beginning, and it's the same talisman! If you want to maintain a certain success rate in the future, you still need to go through a lot of failures and gain experience a little bit... If you change a talisman, the success rate is not much higher than that of a novice, and you still have to go through a similar process!
And the overall improvement of talisman requires the drawing and accumulation of each type of talisman... One type of talisman requires massive resources, and no one dares to imagine the consumption of various talismans.
Not to mention the Xiuxian family, even those big factions would not be so extravagant.
The so-called "talent masters" in the world of immortality, because of their limited resources, specialize in one type of talisman throughout their lives, and there are only two kinds of masters in the sky.
Talismans are not necessary for cultivation, most forces do not waste resources for this, and only buy them when they are needed.
Only the five major factions and a few Jindan-level forces can cultivate talisman masters according to the type of talisman. And because the talisman is not necessary for cultivation, it will not consume too much resources to train intermediate talismans...
These words scared Jia Lei to give up the talisman on the spot. After all, he is poor and poor, so how can he afford to practice.
Although Xiao Ping is not like this, if he starts practicing with a talisman, even if he is rich, he can't stand such a waste.
Even if he kept using the jade gourd to ripen the elixir, and forcibly continued to buy cinnabar and talisman, it would cause a sudden influx of elixir in the market, which would alarm the entire market and bring him a disaster...
It's the best way to survive in this world.
"Don't be in a hurry to attack the talisman, the most important thing is to protect yourself first..."
After a little thought, Xiao Ping wanted to understand which talisman to choose for the first time.
"Tian's Talisman", as the inheritance book of the Tian family, has been carefully considered by its ancestors.
First of all, the use of books instead of jade slips is due to the fact that the early monks did not have spiritual consciousness and could not read them. If you use jade slips, you must reach the fourth level of Qi training before you can touch the painted talismans. This is not the best choice for the age at which he started to contact the talisman, or the cultivation level of the entire family of the descendants.
Secondly, since it is a family inheritance, naturally only the descendants of the family can open it. That day, before the spirit stone was delivered, it was not possible to read the original book, which was the corresponding method. But after the goods were sold, the other party completely destroyed the ban.
Finally, in order to prevent the younger generation from greed for more at one time, and some content cannot be simply written on paper and expressed in words, Tian's ancestors bought a special kind of paper at a high price, which can play a role similar to "jade slips". Only by gradually completing certain achievements from low to high will higher-level content be automatically unblocked.
"Tian's Rune Dian" only showed a few types of runes after a simple text introduction about the first-level low-grade runes.
The requirement is to choose one of them. First, use a pen to trace and practice on white paper. When the rune pattern is safe, you can use the rune pen to draw it out of thin air at the corresponding position on the book. All meet the requirements to unlock the next step.
Regarding the type of talisman, Xiao Ping chose the primary low-grade talisman for protection: the golden light talisman.
After this talisman is activated, it can form a thin layer of golden light on the body, protecting the monk's body.
After memorizing the runes, he picked up a brush and used ordinary ink to practice on white paper...
