Chapter 6: Strange Things in the Wilderness
"I'm rich! I'm really going to be rich!"
On the way back to the broken house in the city, Chen Guo was almost fluttering, his mind was full of the sharp appearance of the powerful red thunder talisman just now, and when he thought of this spirit talisman, it was thin and profitable, and Chen Guo's eyes were filled with bright spirit stones.
Just as he returned to the house, Xiao Bai came out of the stone talisman, looked at Chen Guo's triumphant appearance, and couldn't help but pour cold water on Chen Guo: "Don't be happy too early, Chen Guo." ”
Chen Guo was stunned, and couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "What's wrong?" ”
"I mean, don't be too happy first, after all, refining runes has its success rate, and you only succeeded the first time, which doesn't mean that you are 100% successful now. Xiaobai held his hands and looked at Chen Guo seriously.
"You're saying I still have to test the success rate of my own talismans?"
Xiao Bai nodded, and said with a serious face: "The most important thing in refining talismans is to maintain rigor, if you start to make rune paper casually because of the success of this refining, then your success rate will become lower and lower, I hope you can keep your original intention, not be complacent." ”
The scorching pride in Chen Guo's heart also cooled down because of Xiaobai's preaching, and his attitude also became correct.
Don't get carried away because of this, I'm just a rookie now, and my future is at stake, so I can't be a fool.
Chen Guo couldn't help but warn himself in his heart, walked back to the broken table with a solemn face, stared at the talisman paper on the table, and then started his talisman refining path again.
The first one redrawn by Chen Guo, due to the excessive use of the spiritual power of the pen, the strokes were skewed, and Fu Li's spiritual power was lost, and he was declared a failure.
In the second one, because Chen Guo didn't pay attention to the loss of his spiritual power during the drawing of the talisman, he collapsed and sat on the ground halfway through the drawing, so the second one also failed.
"How can this be, the loss of spiritual power is too fast. ”
Chen Guo was soaked with sweat, and he opened his hands weakly on the ground, feeling that the spiritual power in his body was hollowed out, and he couldn't exert his strength at all.
"Using spirit talismans is the most consuming of spiritual power, otherwise why did I ask you to prepare the Qi Rejuvenation Pill? I didn't elaborate on it just now, I just let you experience it for yourself. You have to pay attention to the level of use of your spiritual power at all times, which is also a way to hone your spiritual power mastery. ”
Xiao Bai, who was staring at Chen Guo's refining on the side, couldn't help but open his mouth.
"I see, it seems that I was reckless, I thought I could make ten talismans in one go. ”
Chen Guo took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, poured out a Huiqi Pill, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. When the effect of the Huiqi Pill started, the spiritual power in Chen Guo's body gradually recovered.
"Then my current spiritual power should be a magic rune, and I need to consume a Qi Returning Pill. ”
Chen Guo also drew his own experience from the situation just now, and it turned out that it was not as easy as he imagined to make talismans with spirits.
"The most important thing for you to do now is to make all the remaining talismans and study the success rate. Xiaobai reminded.
Chen Guo glanced at the darkening sky outside, took out half a candle from under the bed and lit it, and after resting for a while, he came back to the table and began to refine the talisman.
Next, he ate a Hui Qi Pill and re-refined it, and the repeated operations allowed Chen Guo to gain experience in refining talismans, and gradually became handy.
Under the dim candlelight, Chen Guo was engrossed in walking the dragon snake on the talisman pen on the table, and time passed slowly.
When the last talisman was refined, Chen Guo was already exhausted and sat directly on the ground, although the Hui Qi Pill was still chewing, Chen Guo didn't want to move anymore.
Of the remaining nine talismans, five were successfully refined and four failed, which took Chen Guo countless amounts of energy, and there were still several hours, and together with the one that began to succeed, Chen Guo's refining power was only sixty percent.
This refining method not only consumes spiritual power, but also requires concentration on spiritual refining, causing Chen Guo's current spirit to languish.
"Alas, it turns out that I can only refine six. ”
After spending so much energy, he only succeeded in six sheets, and Chen Guo's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but be depressed.
"What's there to sigh, refining talismans is already attrition, and you have been able to refine sixty percent now, which is already better than many talisman refiners, not to mention that you are just a novice. ”
Xiao Bai, who observed the whole process of Chen Guo's talisman refining, was already shocked by Chen Guo in his heart, because a monk with no refining experience could not achieve such a high success rate at all, and it could only mean that Chen Guo's talent was too extraordinary to have this result.
"Really?"
Hearing Xiaobai's affirmation, it seemed to inject the tired Chen Guo with a tube of chicken blood, and stood up in surprise.
"As long as you can refine it often, I can estimate that your success rate in refining talismans will get higher and higher in the future, but you should strengthen your strength first, when your spiritual power becomes more and more powerful, there will be no such exhaustion. ”
"That's okay, I'll replace these talismans with spirit stones tomorrow and use them for cultivation first. ”
Xiao Bai thought for a moment, as if remembering something, and reminded: "You can't swagger and sell these talismans. ”
"Why is that?" Xiaobai's words made Chen Guo a little confused.
"Where can you get so many red thunder talismans from a poor casual cultivator, if you swagger to the shop to sell, you will only be targeted, and you will be arrested by some sect such as Tianmingmen, put you under house arrest, and specially help them refine talismans, then you will be a waste who can only refine talismans. Xiaobai reminded with a serious face.
After listening to Xiaobai's words, Chen Guo was thoughtful, his face was nervous, and his heart gradually became afraid.
If you are really targeted by Tianmingmen and the like, not only will you not be able to practice spells at that time, but you will have to work tirelessly every day to refine talismans for them, which is really no different from waste.
Suddenly, Chen Guo's eyes lit up, and a plan appeared in his mind.
"I have a way to sell the talismans openly. ”
"Huh, what's the solution?" Xiao Bai stared at Chen Guo in disbelief.
"Hee-hee, you'll know when the time comes. Chen Guo pretended to smile mysteriously, making the little white on the side look in a fog.
"Alright, you wait and see the show. It's getting late, rest early, and you'll know tomorrow. ”
Seeing Chen Guo pretending to be mysterious, Xiao Bai couldn't help but pout and express dissatisfaction, but seeing that Chen Guo had returned to the grass bed and started sleeping, Xiao Bai was embarrassed to ask again, shook his head, and had to return to the stone talisman.
Early the next morning, Chen got up early, dressed everything, hid all the magic talismans in his sackcloth, and hurried out of the house, heading out of the city.
In a wilderness outside Luofu City, there is a group of low-level monks who are searching for treasure.
It is said that five years ago in this wilderness, there was a great power of the True Xuan Realm and a sect in the south of the Xuan Demon Continent had a big war here, and for a time the landslide and the ground cracked, and countless monks fell, and countless magic weapons and talismans also fell, so it has been attracting countless monks to rummage here, hoping to get a little benefit, and they can make a lot of money.
Somewhere in this wilderness, a monk with a long roe head and rat-eyed eyes dropped his digging shovel and said angrily to the black-faced and thick-eyebrow monk who was digging hard in front of him: "Big brother, why do we have to dig a hole early in the morning every time?"
The ground around him was a mess dug by the two of them, and there were potholes everywhere, and the black-faced monk still kept waving his digging shovel, and said slowly: "Thin monkey, as long as we work hard, we will succeed sooner or later, so those of us who do big things will only come out to work early in the morning and at night, and we will do great things." ”
Listening to the black-faced monk's words, the roe eyebrows began to think, and felt that something was wrong, but this sentence seemed to be very reasonable, and there was no reason to refute it.
Just as the roe eyebrow rat picked up the shovel again and was about to dig, he found a guy in gray and white linen clothes digging a mound with his bare hands not far away.
"Big brother, look over there, there are actually people looking for it in the place we dug yesterday. The roe eyebrow sneered at the black-faced monk.
"Skinny monkey, don't laugh at people, keep digging yours. The black-faced monk looked at the place, shook his head, and sneered in his heart, and went on with his work.
The roe eyebrow rat couldn't help but shout at the man proudly: "Brother, that piece of land was turned over by us yesterday, and there is nothing. ”
"Thank you, brother, I'm just here to try my luck, and it's the same wherever I dig. ”
The man in sackcloth was still busy working in the mound.
"This stupid guy doesn't listen to what he says. The roe rat sneered quietly, then swung his shovel and continued digging.
"Huh, what is this!" Suddenly, the man in Mai cried out as if he had found something in the mound.
The eyes of the roe-headed rat and the black-faced monk were attracted by the Mai man's voice, and they couldn't help but look at the Mai man.
"Hah, is there really?" The two of them looked at the Mai man's place, and instantly became dumbfounded, their eyes staring at the pile of mud talismans in the Mai man's hand.
"Red Thunder Talismans! These are Red Thunder Talismans, God, why are you so good to me!" the Mai man clutched the talisman in his hand and thanked the heavens.
"What?second-level talisman, Red Thunder talisman?" the two looked at the man in sackcloth in surprise.
As if to verify the authenticity of the talisman, the man in Mai took out a talisman from his hand and went towards the mound of earth on the other side, penetrating the true element.
With a "bang", a fierce red thunderbolt erupted from the talisman and struck towards the mound.
"Boom", the mound was scattered by the red thunder, and a large pit was left on the ground, and for a while, dust and gravel flew up, and the man in Mai and the two people around him were discouraged.
"Ahem, it's really a red thunder talisman!" The man in sackcloth put the talisman into his robe and ran away happily.
Only the roe deer and the black-faced monk were left with a gray face, holding the digging shovel and standing in place.
"Big brother, he really seems to have found a treasure in the place we dug yesterday. After a pause, the roe head rat couldn't help but exclaim at the black-faced monk.
The black-faced monk didn't have time to respond, so he threw down the digging shovel and ran directly towards the place where the man in sackcloth was just now, and began to dig directly with his bare hands.
"Big brother wait for me!"
Seeing the black-faced monk like this, the roe deer couldn't help it, and also ran over and began to dig.
"Did you know that in the morning, a man dug up a second-level talisman in the wilderness outside the city?" said Monk A in Luofu City to Monk B.
"What, there is a man outside the city who has dug up the magic weapon of the Xuanjie Superior?" Monk C squatted in the corner of the city wall and secretly heard Monk Ding talking to others.
"Outside the nickname, there is a loose cultivator outside the city who actually dug up the immortal ladder outside the city and made the magic weapon of the West Queen Mother's fire phoenix. "A rookie in the Void Yuan Realm falsely advertised in the city.
For a while, the news that the gray-white linen man had dug up the second-level talisman in the wilderness spread more and more widely, and the more bizarre it became. Many monks came to dig in the wilderness, some quarreled over a place, or fought over the ownership of a mound, and even worse, because a small pebble could fight each other to the death, and countless fights broke out in the wilderness for a while.
And the initiator of this incident was Chen Guo, who was looking for a broken wooden barrel in the broken house to take a bath.
"What's the matter, I can do this way, I can not only falsely advertise the source of my talismans, but also hide the quantity, even if I sell more talismans in the future, others will not suspect that I will refine talismans. ”
Chen Guo, who was in the barrel, said triumphantly to Xiao Bai who was blushing on the side.
"You wash it first and then call me out, although I am a Fu Ling, I am also a woman!" Xiao Bai covered his eyes, blushing and said angrily.
