In the secret room, Lin Yan had already begun to work on making talismans.

For a sealer, making runes is also a compulsory course, and runes are also a very important means of combat.

Jade Jane is equivalent to a building material, and it is a house built up through technology, and this house is a spirit rune, and it is also the carrier of the rune, it is like a container, and after being infused with the energy of a certain martial art, it becomes a rune soldier.

It's easy to make a spirit rune, just carve some runes on top of the jade slip.

Of course, it is much more troublesome to make some high-level spirit runes, not only need to depict very complex runes, but also need to use special utensils, and even very precious materials, such as blessing crystal nuclei or special power stones, to achieve the enhancement and long-lasting preservation of the power of the runes.

A material like Jade Jane could not be used to make powerful talismans.

The reason is very simple, just like it is impossible to cut a very thick stake with a knife made of wood, or it is impossible to hold a bucket of water with a small paper cup!

Therefore, the more advanced the rune, the more powerful it is, because the energy stored in it is also huge, and it must be crafted with more advanced materials.

There are many materials that can be used to make spirit runes, in addition to jade slips, there are also utensils made of various ore materials, such as mythril and fine iron, such as: rings, bracelets, necklaces, darts, even shields, and even some special mysterious weapons and spirit weapons can be used as spirit runes, and this kind of runes are not only very powerful, but can also be used many times.

This "multiple use" is not continuous use, but that after being used once, the sealer can seal a special function into it, that is, this carrier can be "recycled and reused", so as to achieve reuse, which saves materials and costs, and improves the efficiency of making runes.

(Note: Jade slips are also a kind of utensils)

Jade slip is the lowest-end spirit rune production material, far inferior to the utensils made of Mithril, fine iron, etc., not only can not be recycled, after being made into runes, the power released is far inferior to those made of runes.

In particular, talismans made into rings, bracelets, and shields are most favored by the sealers themselves, and they basically carry a lot of them with them in case of sudden troubles and battles.

Many mystical weapons and spiritual weapons also have special functions, which can release offensive or defensive effects similar to those of talismans, but the biggest difference with talismans is that talismans can be released only by triggering, without requiring the user to consume true yuan or spiritual power;

However, this is not the case with mysterious weapons and spiritual weapons, even if they have powerful functions, if there is no user true element or spiritual power infusion, they will not play any role.

Feng Yuanjue is an example, if Lin Yan didn't input a large amount of True Yuan, he would not be able to attack the enemy at all.

Of course, the benefits of the mysterious weapon and the spirit weapon are also very obvious, that is, there will be no loss, as long as there is enough true element or spiritual power infusion, you can continuously use and attack the enemy, and this advantage is also impossible for any rune soldier to achieve, and it is difficult to achieve.

It can be said that Fu Bing and Xuan Weapon and Spirit Weapon have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they just complement each other.

Lin Yan remembered that in the Xuan Spirit Realm in his previous life, there were all kinds of spirit runes that had been made for sale, so it was very convenient for the sealer to directly seal a certain martial art, spirit skill or sealing technique into the spirit rune and become a rune.

Lin Yan began to think that making runes was not too difficult for sealers, but they needed good materials, and the other thing was to make the spirit runes as perfect as possible.

Actually, he was naïve!

Don't think that with the spirit runes, it will be easier to make talismans, in fact, the real trouble just begins!

With the rune, the subsequent production steps are divided into: capture, infusion, and finally sealing.

"Capture" is to gather and collect the attack energy emitted by a certain martial art or spiritual skill.

Take a sword qi as an example, after being released by a martial artist, it will form a destructive force, and at the same time, it will completely dissipate.

And "capture" is to completely collect this sword qi after it is released, so as not to let its energy dissipate. Only in this way can this sword qi be "infused" into the spirit rune, and then it can be "sealed", so that this sword qi can be preserved for a long time and used when needed.

This is the basic process of making a talisman!

Once this rune is triggered, it will also release this sword qi!

Don't look at it as just three steps, but each process is very difficult.

In the case of "capture", the process is extremely arduous, and it is also the most difficult and difficult step to achieve.

Because the attack of a martial art is a mass of energy, not an entity, this attack energy must be "captured" through powerful soul power before it can be input and sealed in the spirit rune.

It's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to do, everyone knows that energy is not a physical object, and many times it is invisible or touchable, and it is whimsical to "capture".

Taking the simplest sword qi as an example, there is no doubt that this sword qi is a mass of energy, but after the martial artist releases it, it will quickly dissipate into nothingness, and it is almost impossible to collect and preserve it.

There is an apt idiom: it is difficult to recover when covered with water!

It is difficult to recover the water that is spilled out of the basin, not to mention that it is still a sword qi!

Therefore, how difficult it is to capture and collect this sword qi, it completely requires strong soul power to support it, and it is time-consuming and laborious, and the slightest negligence will be wasted.

Grabbing a physical object is very simple, you can use your hands, but "catching" a sword qi, do you think you can do it by simply grabbing it with your hands, hehe, don't say you can't do it, your hands will become the target of this sword qi!

Because this sword qi is completely an energy, it can only be "captured" with invisible soul power.

It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of soul power determines the size of a sealer's ability.

In fact, not only sealers, but also special professions such as alchemists, refiners, and array mages, the strength of their soul power is also the most critical indicator to measure their ability, and it is also the most important talent.

Therefore, the spiritual realm of the sealers, alchemists, refiners, and array mages themselves cannot be used to identify their professional levels, but the key factor that determines the professional level is the strength of the soul. Therefore, what they most urgently need to improve is also the soul realm.

Fortunately, Lin Yan is soul rebirth, his soul is already strong, and now the soul realm has reached the Xuandan realm, which can be described as a freak among freaks, so his soul power is too powerful!

But even so, when Lin Yan planned to "capture" a palm force released by himself, he was surprised to find that the "big net" he had laid out with his soul power was so fragile that it could be completely dispersed with just one percent of his palm power!

"How so?"

Lin Yan was greatly disappointed and devastated!

Fortunately, he didn't release the Thunderbolt Slash at the beginning, otherwise it would be equivalent to releasing an empty gun, and he would also lose a lot of True Yuan, but he would not get any gains.

Qi Tian had long expected this to be the result, "Hehe, in fact, this is normal, your soul power is indeed not weak, but because the scope of your 'soul net' is too large, this reduces its strength, even if you are only one percent of the palm power, but it is concentrated on one point, and it can naturally be easily destroyed." ”

Lin Yan immediately understood the crux of the matter, his "Soul Net" just now was indeed too large, and the space that included several cubic meters was enough, and the soul power was dispersed.

It's like a needle that can destroy a large balloon with just a prick.

"So what should I do?"

"Directly gather the soul power on your palm, just wrap this hand firmly, so that the range will be reduced a lot, so that the soul power will not be too scattered, and then this hand will release the palm power!"

After listening to Qi Tian's guidance, Lin Yan did as he said.

He was still very careful this time, and after feeling that the soul power had completely wrapped his right hand firmly, he released a percent palm force, only to hear a muffled bang, and the soul net wrapped around his right hand only shook slightly, and did not break.

This encouraged him, "This time it worked!"

Immediately, he clearly felt that there was already a strange energy fluctuation in the soul network, and he knew that this energy was a hundred percent of the palm power released by himself!

Then, without hesitation, he wanted to infuse this mass of palm power energy that had been wrapped in soul power into the spirit rune that had been made.

But Qi Tian didn't say a word, as if everything had nothing to do with him, and he didn't remind Lin Yan what to do and what to pay attention to.

Lin Yan didn't care about this either, because he knew very well that the necessary failure of the first time he made a rune was not a bad thing, but he could let himself understand and discover the problems in the production process, and personally feel the characteristics and difficulties of the production of runes.

His soul power continued to output, tightly wrapping this palm power energy, and then cautiously poured into a spirit rune that had already been carved into the rune.

This process must also be very careful, so as not to cause the slightest impact on the runes on the jade slips, otherwise these runes will be destroyed and all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Once it fails, it will not only cause the spirit rune to be abandoned, but even this palm power energy will not be able to be retained, and it will quickly dissipate.

Lin Yan's movements were slow and cautious, and since the runes carved on the jade slip were very familiar, he knew what to do, which didn't pose much of an obstacle to him.

This mass of palm power energy wrapped in soul power was also quickly infused into the spirit rune, and everything seemed to be very smooth, and there seemed to be no challenge.

Lin Yan himself felt that this process was not difficult, nor was it too time-consuming, it was shorter than the time required to refine a medicinal herb, and it was also easy.

In fact, it is true, after all, the palm power energy infused by Lin Yan is only one percent, which is very little, if he can't even take this, then he might as well die head-on.

Of course, he himself knows this very well, if it is changed to ten percent of the palm power, the difficulty of infusion will definitely increase exponentially, and it will definitely not be so easy.

"Now it's time to seal!" Seeing that the perfusion was going well, Lin Yan was not complacent, and was ready to start doing the last step.

The most critical step of "sealing" is to demonstrate the sealer's grasp and control of sealing, and it is also the most technical step.

This is equivalent to "packaging", the energy infused with the spirit rune must be tightly packaged, there can be no gaps, otherwise it goes without saying that the energy in the spirit rune will be quickly lost, and the rune will be completely invalid.

Any seal has an expiration date, that is, a "shelf life", and once the "shelf life" reaches the limit, the seal will automatically disintegrate, and the rune soldiers will naturally be "invalidated"!

Therefore, the quality of the seal used for "packaging" directly determines the "shelf life" of the rune, and the longer the shelf life of the rune is the greater the value, the more popular it is, and it is naturally an important indicator to reflect the level of the sealer, so the sealer spares no effort to make a big fuss about the "packaging" seal, and strives to improve its quality, so as to ensure that the "shelf life" of the rune is longer.

Lin Yan had already mastered a kind of seal specifically for "packaging" in advance, called the Seal Seal, which was also the simplest kind of "packaging" seal, and it was not difficult to operate it at his seal level.

However, when Lin Yan punched the sealed seal that had been condensed into the spirit rune, he suddenly heard a crisp bang, and for some reason, the jade slip in his hand also shattered!

"What's going on?"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, it was obvious that this attempt ended in failure, and he himself felt inexplicable.

Seeing that this made spirit rune was wasted so easily, Lin Yan was really puzzled, "What went wrong just now?"

For the production of runes, jade slips are the lowest-grade materials, not only containing very little energy, but also disposable consumables, once used or destroyed, they can no longer be used and must be discarded.

However, Lin Yan didn't feel any pain in his flesh, with his financial resources, let alone a jade slip, even if he discarded 10,000 pieces, he would not be in pain.

But this palm power energy is a real consumption, not only consuming the true yuan, but also consuming the soul power, which makes Lin Yan feel a lot of pain, although these true yuan and soul power are not much, but they are all from his hard cultivation, just like a piece of meat on his body, how can he give it up easily.

At the moment, he was quite puzzling, a little painful, and more importantly, he didn't understand why he had failed.

Because every step of the way is done with care, and he thinks he is doing it correctly.

Qi Tian finally spoke, "Your problem is actually with soul power!"

"What's wrong with the soul power?" Lin Yan was still puzzled.

"The soul power is attached to the surface of the spirit rune, and when you enter the sealing seal, the two energies meet and react, and destroy the internal structure of the spirit rune, causing the uncontrollable sudden leakage of the palm power energy, so the jade slip shatters. ”

Qi Tian spoke in great detail, and Lin Yan suddenly realized, "I see!"

But then he had a new question, "But if I withdraw my soul power and then enter the seal, wouldn't it be the moment I withdraw my soul power, won't the energy that was finally infused into the spirit rune leak out?"

"Who said that you should withdraw the soul power wrapped in palm energy, won't you compress the soul power into the inside of the spirit rune, and when you enter the sealing talisman, control the strength and don't touch that soul power, so that you can solve the problem!"

Qi Tian's words were like an initiation, which made Lin Yanmao suddenly open!

"That's right!

"This is a manifestation of inexperience, it's normal, and you're just making a talisman for the first time, it's not easy to do it to this extent, and it can even be said that it's better than what many geniuses of the Xuantong Heaven Domain's sealing master families have done!" Qi Tian also lost no time in encouraging Lin Yan.

"Don't brag about me, I'm self-aware!" Lin Yan was not complacent, but more soberly aware of his shortcomings.

"Yes, being able to maintain a clear understanding and not be arrogant or discouraged when winning is the basic quality that is most needed to become a seal master, because the production of talisman soldiers is not easier than alchemy, and it also has to go through countless failures, if you don't have a firm belief and a calm mind, even if your talent is high, it is difficult to achieve!"

"Don't worry, I understand this truth, after all, I have experienced various tests in my previous life to learn alchemy, and I can't remember how many times I have failed, and I don't think that making talismans is a simple and easy job, let alone give up easily because of failure!"

After that, Lin Yan stopped talking nonsense and redevoted himself to the production of Fu Bing......
