Chapter Thirty-Eight: Making the Ice Talisman

Qiao Xiaojia held the jade slip in his hand and let out his divine vision, only to see that there were more than ten courtyards in the jade slip, and six real cave mansions, three of which were marked with excellent aura as the top grade, the cave mansion was the best grade, and the other courtyards were all medium grade.

She withdrew her divine vision, handed the jade slip to Su Qing and said, "Do you think we can rent that room?" ’

The male cultivator was very surprised to see Qiao Xiaojia give the jade slip to Su Qing, who had no spiritual power, and secretly said Why didn't this female cultivator show any spiritual power? Could it be that you are practicing some kind of recuperation exercises?

'How many spirit stones are there in the Shangpin courtyard in a year?' Su Qing put down the jade slip and asked.

'Back to the fairy, two hundred spirit stones a year in the high-grade courtyard! The male cultivator said cautiously.

'Then how about we rent No. 3 Courtyard A?' Su Qing turned to Qiao Xiaojia and said.

'Yes, I think that yard is good, too!' Qiao Xiaojia said with a smile.

After handing over two hundred spirit stones, the male cultivator gave each of them a formation plate to use to open the defensive array of the No. 3 Courtyard A.

The yard is near a hill in the depths of Hutong, covering an area of about two acres, although it is not as big as Taoyuanju, but it is not small for them.

Entering the courtyard, you can see a low bamboo forest, a stone path in the middle leads to the inner courtyard, there are strange stones on both sides, and there is a small bridge on the left, standing on the winding water, and the water flows to a small pond on the right.

Passing through the dwarf bamboo forest, there are seven main rooms, and the east and west are separated by flowers and trees in two small courtyards, each with five rooms, in addition to the flower hall, bedrooms, are equipped with study rooms, wing rooms.

In the middle of the yard, there is a hundred-year-old magnolia tree, several people hug each other, the flowers and leaves are sparse, the pavilion is like a cover, a stone table under the tree, and a few rattan chairs.

On the left, near the pond, there is a flower shed, with two rows of wooden strips below, and a small flower garden corresponding to the right, planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.

There is a row of rooms in the corner of the backyard, and there is a kitchen not far from the main house, which is connected by a corridor at the back door of the flower hall of the main house.

Of all the courtyards in the Jade Slip, only this one is equipped with a kitchen, which is why they rent this courtyard.

According to the monk, the courtyard itself was built by a high-ranking monk for his mortal family.

After walking around the courtyard, Su Qing decided to live in the three rooms on the right side of the upper room, except for one bedroom, the east wing has a lot of space, and it is actually arranged according to the Dan room.

Qiao Xiaojia didn't live in the main house, she liked the small courtyard in the east very much, there was a swing in front of the house, and the bedroom was very large.

After the two of them tidied up their respective rooms, it was already past noon, thinking that they hadn't eaten well for several days, Su Qing went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes, and the two of them had a big meal.

In the afternoon, they didn't practice, but sat under the magnolia tree drinking tea and chatting, talking about the use of saltpeter, Qiao Xiaojia frustrated and threw Su Qing a beginner to the training machine and said, "This thing is not a training tool material at all, I thought I could sell some spirit stones!" ’

Su Qing took the book and put it down, and said slowly: "Do you think it can be used to make talismans?" ’

'Talismans?! Qiao Xiaojia immediately sat up straight and said.

'yes, it's like a fire bomb charm, why don't we try it?' Su Qing stared at Qiao Xiaojia and said.

'Go! Qiao Xiaojia stood up and said.

As long as she is very interested in everything related to talisman making, she naturally knows how powerful the fire bomb talisman made by Su Qing before, and now she heard her say that saltpeter can be used in talismans, so she can't help but want to try it.

Coming to the talisman room, Su Qing took out the saltpeter and kneaded it into powder with both hands, poured it into cinnabar and stirred it well, the two of them each took a blank rune paper, walked like a dragon, and the runes were formed, but there was no spiritual power!

The two looked at each other and shook their heads, remixed the saltpeter powder into cinnabar in different proportions, and after drawing a pile of rune paper, Su Qing rubbed his sore wrist and said, "It seems that this method doesn't work, saltpeter and cinnabar are not compatible!" ’

'Do you want to try it without the blood of the beast?' Qiao Xiaojia took out a bottle of Flame Rhino Blood, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, took out two pieces of Flame Rhino Skin, handed them to Su Qing and said, "Try it, this is my treasure—"

'It doesn't work!' Su Qing returned the materials to her and said decisively.

"You haven't tried—" Qiao Xiaojia looked at her puzzled.

Su Qing sighed: "Fairy Qiao, think about it, saltpeter is turned into ice when it meets water, and we use it to make ice talismans, and what is contained in the fire rhino blood is pure fire spiritual power!" ’

'Oh yes, then I still have the processed beaver skin, do you want to try again?' Qiao Xiaojia suddenly realized and took out a few beaver skins cut to the size of his palm.

This time, Su Qing first sprinkled saltpeter powder on the surface of the animal skin, gently rubbed it until it was even, and then raised the pen to draw the talisman, when the bright and full runes appeared on the animal skin, there was still no trace of spiritual power fluctuations!

She mixed saltpeter powder with cinnabar and animal blood in various proportions, and the results were all failures without exception.

For a whole afternoon, the two of them tried all the materials on their bodies that could make talismans, but they still couldn't make a talisman with saltpeter!

'It seems that these things are of no use,' Qiao Xiaojia said, looking at a pile of waste talismans.

After dinner, Su Qing returned to the bedroom, advanced to the fairy orchard to practice for two hours, picked some spirit fruits and flashed out, she didn't want to rely too much on the fairy orchard space, because she found that the longer she was inside, the more she was repulsive to the outside world, and the more difficult it was to practice outside.

After all, the outside world is the real space of her life, there are inseparable friends, the immortal path to be pursued, as well as daily clothing, food, housing, and transportation, so although the aura of the fairy orchard is richer and more suitable for cultivation, she only practices in it for two hours a day, and she can practice for two hours at most, because the dantian can no longer accommodate more aura.

I was a little tired, and when I saw that it was still early, I took out the storage bag and prepared to take stock of the contents of it.

In the corner of the smallest storage bag, he took out a stack of papyrus, the size of his palm, without any spiritual power fluctuations. There were about three or four hundred, she took them out casually, and was about to throw them away, when she suddenly remembered that it was the rune paper that she had bought out of curiosity when she went to the night market with Qiao Xiaojia before.

Thinking of the rune paper, she immediately turned over and got out of bed, spread out a piece of straw paper, took out cinnabar mixed with saltpeter powder, dipped it with a rune pen, concentrated her spirit, transported her spiritual power, and completed it in one go, and put the pen into a talisman!

A burst of icy cold aura came to his face, the runes were smooth and vivid, and the aura was overflowing, and he successfully made a new talisman that had never appeared before!

Su Qing was overjoyed and rushed out, just about to share with Qiao Xiaojia, when he saw that the door of her room was closed and she was practicing, so she came to the small pond, transported her spiritual power to stimulate the spirit rune and threw it towards the pond!

In an instant, if you are in the cold winter of Sanjiu, you can see that the pond is covered with a thick layer of ice!

It wasn't until the next morning, after the sun had risen, that it slowly melted!

'Did you really make a new talisman?!' How is it made? Qiao Xiaojia stood by the pond and pulled Su Qing to ask excitedly.

Seeing the straw paper without any spiritual power in Su Qing's hand, she snatched it over and studied it carefully several times, and suddenly realized: "Could it be the legendary Holy Yaoguang Rune Paper?!"

'Holy Yaoguang Rune Paper? Su Qing asked rhetorically.

"It should be, I've only heard the master say that it is said to be compatible with all natural forces, but it has no spiritual power itself!" What she didn't say was that the demon suppression talisman that Zhang Tianshi used to seal the demon clan back then was painted with this kind of talisman paper!

Su Qing sighed from the bottom of his heart, it was really shit luck, and the straw paper he bought casually turned out to be the best rune paper!

Seeing Qiao Xiaojia staring at her eagerly, he generously gave her half of the rune paper and taught her the new runes.

'What is this called?' After Qiao Xiaojia drew a new rune on the white paper, he put away the pen and asked Su Qing.

Su Qing sat opposite, thought for a while with his hand, and said, "How about naming the Ice Talisman?" ’

Qiao Xiaojia stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, let's call it Bingxiao Fu!" It's apt, and it sounds tasteful! ’

Because this kind of rune paper draws one spirit rune less, and the ice talisman is not practical in the fighting method, Su Qing only draws three in case of emergency.

The two of them were in Qinzhuyuan, the name they gave to their new home, and they devoted themselves to practicing, making talismans, and practicing Danshu all day long.

After more than a month like this, I was quite bored, so I went out for a walk together, and the two inquired about repairing in the teahouse, and there was a small square market nearby!

When I came to Fang City, I found that most of the people who came and went here were Qi cultivation period monks, and I could occasionally see one or two foundation building monks.

The streets here are unusually wide, lined with shops, which sell repair supplies.

Su Qing was going to buy a practice pill furnace, so the two of them went to the shops that mainly focused on Danshu, and walked out of the last shop, sighing in disappointment, only three of the dozen shops had Dan furnaces for sale, but the cheapest one also cost five thousand spirit stones!

She has easily gathered two Dan prescriptions over the years, and she is also very proficient in practicing Dan techniques, so she wants to open a furnace to try, but who knows that she can't even afford a Dan furnace!

At the end of the street, they found a small shop on the corner, and many monks came and went very well, and the two of them were curious, and strolled to this small shop called Gleaning.

Although the door is very small, there is a lot of space inside, and there are more than a dozen large tables with various items piled up on them.

Su Qing found the table with the pill practice items piled up, there were not many monks who came to this table, all of them were selecting pills.

Bundles of spirit grass are piled up together, in her opinion, the price is extremely low, but basically no one cares, after buying a bunch of spirit grass, only to find a rusty small Dan furnace under a pile of jade kudzu!

When I picked it up and took a closer look, I found that this Dan furnace was dilapidated, and there was not even the most basic spirit gathering array on it!

Quietly input spiritual power, but there was no reaction, if it weren't for the Dan pattern painted on the inner wall, she would have thought that this was just an ordinary incense burner!

Looking at the price, it's only two hundred spirit stones, although I don't know if I can use it, but it's really cheap!

When he arrived at the door, he saw that Qiao Xiaojia hadn't come out yet, so he took out the miniature Dan furnace and looked at the sun, expecting to see the traces of the Spirit Gathering Array under the thick rust spots.

'What do you look at with a broken incense burner!' Qiao Xiaojia pushed her and said.

'This is the Dan furnace I bought!' Su Qing raised his voice and said, "It's only two hundred spirit stones, isn't it cheap?" As he spoke, he handed it to Qiao Xiaojia.

I hope my friends will collect the following, all of them are more than 100,000 words, only more than 30 collections, I want to cry when I see it, what do you think, leave a word for your opinions! Thank you!
