Chapter XXVIII, Teaching
After talking a lot one after another, Chen Zhiyuan finished asking all the questions he wanted to ask, and the old student also finished what he had to say. When he finally left, Chen Zhiyuan left five gold leaves and a low-grade spirit stone, which was regarded as tuition for the old students. The old student did not shirk and accepted Chen Zhiyuan's gift with peace of mind.
It's been three days since he returned to South Wind City again, and now he still has a lot of money, and his cultivation has skyrocketed, Chen Zhiyuan needs to get used to it for a while, and casually familiarize himself with how to draw talismans. At the same time, he also planned to use up all the spirit stones on hand first. Although it is said that the spirit stone is a common currency among monks, for Chen Zhiyuan at this stage, there are not many monks he can meet, so the probability of using it is not large, it is better to use it for cultivation to improve his cultivation faster.
So in the following time, Chen Zhiyuan returned to the construction site to move things.
In the construction site, Chen Zhiyuan is now a lever on the surface, no one's strength can be greater than him, and he doesn't need to be strong to bet with anyone, just move the money every day can top people's money for two days.
Three months passed quietly, Chen Zhiyuan went home halfway, and also asked the old students to answer their doubts about their cultivation separately, and he also had a preliminary grasp of the content on the "Initial Solution of the Fu", at least the theoretical content of the first two pages has been fully understood, and now he is starting to draw the first talisman.
There wasn't much blank rune paper, and Chen Zhiyuan didn't want to waste it, so he chose to practice with ordinary paper and ink before writing.
The most difficult part of drawing a sigil at the beginning is to write down the contents of the entire rune paper, a symbol is divided into several parts, and drawing any one of them incorrectly will lead to failure. There are several used water talismans, and Chen Zhiyuan's first choice is naturally the small water talisman in the book.
The rune box is easy to draw, but it is more difficult to fill in the talisman guts. The strokes of the gall are complex, and the lines are sometimes thick and sometimes thin, and the intersection of the two lines must be drawn with a specific brushwork. This is just the time of practice, and when you really write on the rune paper, you have to control the spiritual power output, which is the most difficult part.
Another important reason for choosing the water line character is that you can practice directly in the water when practicing, because drawing the water line character in a place with plenty of water vapor will naturally quickly improve the proficiency of the painter. In addition, when drawing in water, you can also release spiritual power directly into the water, and if you succeed, you will directly observe that there is a cloud of water that exists independently of other water.
Chen Zhiyuan prepared the rune paper, these rune papers were all fished out of the lake, and the rune frame had been drawn on them, all Chen Zhiyuan had to do was to fill in the rune gall.
The pen is the broken pen, Chen Zhiyuan has tried, and it can still be used, and when the spiritual power is output into the pen, the shape of the tip of the pen and the lines drawn are easier to control than ordinary pens.
Ink needs special ink, Chen Zhiyuan doesn't have it for the time being, but he doesn't need it now.
After submerging the rune paper and pen in the water, Chen Zhiyuan tried to draw in the water. The advantage of this is that you can see the results directly when you succeed, and when you take out the rune paper, the things drawn on it will be scattered directly, or when the spiritual power dissipates, it will also automatically disperse, and the rune paper can still be used again.
Chen Zhiyuan swore that he had never written anything so seriously, and he had never written anything so tiring.
When I first practiced, I was not so proficient in controlling the output of spiritual power, and I often failed after just two strokes. Later, I was finally able to skillfully control the output of spiritual power, but I always failed where the strokes intersected, either because there was a conflict in the operation of spiritual power, or the latter stroke washed away the spiritual power of the previous stroke.
For a whole month, Chen Zhiyuan didn't know that he had drained his spiritual power several times because of the talisman gall, and he had recovered it a few times, and he even had the idea of giving up. But the hard work paid off, and finally, Chen Zhiyuan succeeded for the first time.
Looking at the rune paper in the water emitting a faint fluorescence, a small ball of water condensed on it, but when the surrounding water shook, it did not move.
Chen Zhiyuan carefully took out the rune paper from the water, and the water condensed on the rune paper was also slowly sucked into the rune paper, leaving only a faint trace, which was exactly the appearance of the small water rune. However, after taking out a few breaths, because there was no ink to preserve the spiritual power, as the spiritual power on the rune paper escaped, the water condensed on the rune paper also disappeared with the dissipation into water vapor.
With the first success, the second, third, fourth, and countless successes that followed are not unexpected. It took another half a month, and Chen Zhiyuan was finally able to completely master the small water talisman.
The price of the ink used in the painting is a little unbelievable, and the amount of ink in a small porcelain bottle the size of three fingers is enough to collect five gold leaves from Chen Zhiyuan, and the price cannot be bargained. This made Chen Zhiyuan feel more and more that a cultivator's money was not money.
The reddish-brown ink had a fragrance, Chen Zhiyuan didn't know what it was made of, it was tossed in his hand, it was very heavy, and it was about the same quality as the same volume of gold.
I bought everything, so I naturally wanted to use it, but in order to ensure that the rune paper was not wasted, after all, Chen Zhiyuan only had four intact rune papers, and Chen Zhiyuan practiced in the water for a few more days, until he felt that he couldn't improve anymore and didn't stop.
The feeling of drawing directly with ink is completely different from drawing in water, the moment he dips his pen into ink, Chen Zhiyuan obviously feels that his spiritual power consumption rate is three times faster than in water, but fortunately, with his current cultivation, he can still support the completion of drawing a small water talisman, and even draw another one is enough.
Write carefully, the speed cannot be fast or slow, because the spiritual power is always output, and a fast or slow speed will lead to failure.
Fortunately, Chen Zhiyuan succeeded once, the spiritual light on the rune paper flashed, and a faint water vapor flashed, and a small water talisman became a small water talisman.
I don't expect this talisman to be sold for money, according to the book, the water contained in the small water talisman is only as much as a basin, and it can't be done at all, and all the things that come out of the talisman paper will disappear with the dissipation of spiritual power, so the small water talisman can only be used for practice, not for sale. Of course, it's not really impossible to sell, five gold leaves are just the money of a rune paper with a rune frame drawn, but how to say that this is his first rune, which is commemorative, Chen Zhiyuan naturally does not plan to sell it.
Chen Zhiyuan suddenly thought, how could such a fun thing as drawing talismans only be used to torture himself? Liu Qiang handed over his two sons to teach him nothing more than wanting to learn something from himself. So why not teach them to draw talismans?
The old student of the "Qi Eating Method" said that this is not a rare exercise and it is not valuable, you can deal with it as you want, and if you can continue to practice after building the foundation, you have to change it as soon as possible, this is really too low-level. Then, I just taught them the two brothers, and as for the reward, that is, when they learn to draw talismans, the twenty small fire talismans that were successful at the beginning have to be handed over to themselves, twenty each.
Chen Zhiyuan silently calculated, a small fire talisman is ten gold, forty is four hundred gold, and there are four low-grade spirit stones in exchange for spirit stones, which should be worth a copy of the "Qi Eating Law", but it is necessary to deduct the money for rune paper and ink, so calculated, he probably only earned two low-grade spirit stones, but there is no need to worry about so much, anyway, it is all money earned in vain, after all, the money he handed over to the old student is only one lower grade.
Knowing that Chen Zhiyuan was going to teach the two brothers exercises, Liu Qiang was really happy, and directly asked for three days off from the construction site, and without saying a word, he took Brother Baozi to his home, patted his chest and said: "Brother, even if you teach, your brother will be my brother in the future, and if my Lao Liu eats a mouthful of food, he will have a meal of steamed buns!"
It seems that this is not enough to express his sincerity, Liu Qiang killed three chickens that day and lit three pillars of incense and put them in front of the ancestral tablet, that excited look, Chen Zhiyuan felt that if he asked to set up a card for himself, maybe Liu Qiang would also agree.
It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. When the old student taught him, he taught him directly, he didn't say a word, and he didn't have a book to look at the operation, and now Chen Zhiyuan wants to teach others, but he is simply sad.
Chen Zhiyuan wanted to write down the exercises, but he couldn't hold back a single word after holding back his pen for a long time, and he couldn't write at all. In desperation, Chen Zhiyuan could only choose to be like an old student and use his spiritual power to guide a circle in the two brothers' bodies.
At the beginning, he had his back to Lao Sheng, Chen Zhiyuan didn't know what it was like for Lao Sheng to guide spiritual power into his body at that time, but now he knew.
As soon as the spiritual power entered his body, Chen Zhiyuan felt a great repulsive force. The first object Chen Zhiyuan chose to teach was Liu Li, and now he is trying to find a way to make his spiritual power go around Liu Li's body according to the route of the "Qi Eating Law".
Although he had already told Liu Li to relax, Chen Zhiyuan's spiritual power still encountered great resistance when he walked. Compared with the smoothness of injecting spiritual power into the pen of the drawing talisman, Chen Zhiyuan now felt that his spiritual power in Liu Li's body was like falling into a quagmire.
What's worse is that Chen Zhiyuan can't find a direction at all. Obviously, he felt that his spiritual power had traveled far away, but the feedback he got from Liu Li was that he felt that something was running around his back, and it was so itchy.
It's not playable. Chen Zhiyuan could only let this teaching plan be postponed for a while, at least he had to know what to do first.
It is unrealistic to write a book of "The Law of Eating Qi" according to his own understanding, Chen Zhiyuan feels that with his writing, if the two brothers can understand it, then they are probably really cultivation wizards.
Therefore, Chen Zhiyuan chose a compromise method, that is, he first used ink to draw a circle on the wooden figure according to the route of the qi eating method, which is the kind of painting that goes deep into the specific position, not just on the surface, and then let the two brothers observe.
Whenever Chen Zhiyuan's spiritual power followed the traces of ink, the ink used to draw talismans would emit a faint light. In this way, Chen Zhiyuan controlled the spiritual power to walk beside him, and the two brothers carefully observed what route the spiritual power was driving on.
After the two brothers understood, Chen Zhiyuan would ask them to draw on the other wooden figure according to the route of spiritual power, and only when Chen Zhiyuan was satisfied could he begin to feel the spiritual power in his body.
Although this method takes a long time, only if you really understand it, can you perfectly replicate the route drawn by Chen Zhiyuan, and at this time, when you feel the spiritual power in your body, you will not make a mistake.
