Chapter 495: Three Talismans
There are only three fourth-order martial talismans recorded in the "Zhu Fu Sutra", including the "Golden Yang Fire Talisman" once made by Shang Xia.
And the "Wandering Spirit Shield Talisman" he made in the Yunshui Stream, the way it was made belonged to the collection of Tongyou Academy.
After Shang Xia got the purple bamboo pen from the academy rune hall, he originally just practiced to familiarize himself with it, but he didn't expect this high-grade sharp-quality rune pen to be unexpectedly easy to use.
After making six third-order talismans of different types in a row, there was not a single miss during the period, and even the time for making talismans was shortened by two or three days.
Taking advantage of the sharp weapon in his hand and in good condition, Shang Xia quickly closed the small courtyard where he lived alone and began to make a fourth-order martial talisman.
Sure enough, as soon as Shang Xia came up, he successfully made a "Golden Yang Fire Talisman".
Although among the many fourth-order martial talismans, Shang Xia has been pondering this martial talisman for the longest time, and is also the most familiar with it, and has had more experience in successful production before, but the smooth production process and the shortening of the production time are indisputable facts.
He's in really good shape right now!
Shang Xia continued his efforts and soon devoted himself to the production of martial talismans again.
Although the second production ushered in a failure, after a day or two of rest, Shang Xia quickly succeeded in making a second "Golden Yang Fire Talisman" on the third attempt.
After a short break, Shang Xia once again devoted himself to the process of making talismans.
This time, he chose another fourth-order martial talisman "Wandering Spirit Shield Talisman", which had also been successfully trial-produced in Yunshuijian.
However, at this time, nearly twenty days have passed since Shang Xia got the Zizhu Pen, and the initial excitement has fallen, and the difficulty of making the "Wandering Spirit Shield Talisman" itself is slightly higher than that of the "Golden Yang Fire Talisman", so the success rate of the talisman soon began to decline.
After two consecutive failures, Shang Xia finally succeeded in making a "Wandering Spirit Shield Talisman" when he only had the last fourth-order rune paper left in his hand.
That's right, in the case that Shang Xi and Shang Quan had already started to collect fourth-order rune paper at a high price in advance, until the current position, the merchant had only obtained six fourth-order rune papers.
When Shang Xi received two "Golden Yang Flame Talismans" and one "Wandering Spirit Shield Talisman" from Shang Xia's hands, as well as two stacks of second-order and third-order martial talismans, the color of surprise was overflowing.
"Six fourth-order rune papers, you can make three, fifty percent of the rune rate, good nephew is really good!"
Shang Xi couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
"This time it's actually good luck, the newly arrived high-grade talisman pen, plus I'm in good shape, this can become three talismans. If I had to do it again, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so smooth. ”
Shang Xia told the truth.
"Giggles, originally I thought that this time you could leave two fourth-order martial talismans for the family and make a lot of money!"
Shangxi's expectations were lower at first.
It's no wonder that Shang Xi looks like he has never seen the world, but every fourth-order martial talisman, even for a four-order master, can be regarded as a hole card that can turn the tide around.
For a family power like the Shang family, the third-order martial talisman can be regarded as the embodiment of the family's heritage, so the fourth-order martial talisman can simply be used as a means for the family to deter the Quartet.
In fact, each of the two fourth-order martial talismans that Shang Xia had made before that had turned the tide in his hands.
Shang Xi took objects such as the Spirit Box, carefully placed a fourth-order martial talisman in each box, and then carefully collected it.
This kind of thing, in the family, only martial artists above the third order have the qualifications to use it, but it is only a qualification
Nothing more.
"Such a fourth-order martial talisman can be stored for about a few years?"
After Shang Xi finished placing the three martial talismans, he asked Shang Xia.
Shang Xia said: "If you store it alone, it shouldn't be more than ten years, in fact, I deliberately want to be at most three or five years, and the divine will and evil yuan condensed on the martial talisman will begin to disperse, which will directly lead to the decline of the power of the martial talisman, and at the end of the ten years, I am afraid that the entire martial talisman will become invalid." Even if it is stored in a relatively well-established way, it will not take more than fifteen years. ”
Shang Xi sighed: "The time is really short, is there any way you can extend the preservation time?"
Shang Xia thought for a moment and said, "If you have time, I'll give it a try, this problem can't be solved in a while, but maybe there will be another way......
After staying at home for nearly a month, Shang Xia also knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he rushed to the academy.
After returning to Tongyou Academy, Shang Xia found that the academy was much more lively, but it was also much stranger.
After the expansion of the academy, more and more students entered the academy, but he knew fewer and fewer people.
"Shang Xia!"
Hearing someone calling him from a distance, Shang Xia looked back and saw a young man of his age, surrounded by a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown teenagers, waving at him.
Shang Xia walked a few steps and said with a smile: "Zhang Jianfei......? Did?"
Zhang Jianfei said with a smile: "The training of the outer house, these are the students I have brought since the second half of last year. Now that there are twelve rooms in the outer house, the original heavenly stem count is not enough, so the earthly branch twelve counts are used. ”
After that, Zhang Jianfei introduced to the young man next to him: "You are optimistic, this is the chief you taught me when I was a student in the academy, starting from the chief of the outer house, to the chief of the inner house, and then to the chief of the upper house, and now he is already a great master of the four heavens, this is your real role model in the future!"
The half-grown children looked at Shang Xia one by one with wide eyes, their eyes flashing with curiosity, admiration, and even a hint of unconvinced.
Shang Xia immediately laughed when he heard this.
Speaking of which, this Zhang Jianfei was also a genius in Shang Xia's session at the beginning, and he also fought with Shang Xia because of the competition for the position of chief in the outer house, and the relationship between them was actually not very good.
However, only two or three years have passed, and the initial unhappiness is more like an evocative memory.
In this academy, which is quite a bit of a person, seeing Zhang Jianfei, an acquaintance, actually made Shang Xia feel quite cordial.
Ordering a group of teenagers under his command to go to the school field to cultivate on their own, Zhang Jianfei smiled and said: "It's rare to see you in the past two years, but everyone has heard a lot about you." ”
Shang Xia said with a smile: "Our students in that class, how many yards did they stay in the academy in the end?"
"Not a few!"
Zhang Jianfei said with a smile: "In the past two years, the college has not only expanded its enrollment, but also expanded, and many students have chosen to stay after completing their studies from the upper house. No, even I have a mentor, with twenty or thirty new recruits under my command. ”
Shang Xia said with a smile: "Qu Cai, you have already advanced to the third-order martial arts, it is enough to be a deacon in the academy, and I remember that you originally belonged to the academy health department, how did you come to the teaching department again?"
In Shang Xia's impression, the discipline of the outer house was usually served by the outstanding students of the upper house, and these students themselves were only second-order cultivators.
Only the training of the inner house or the upper house will usually be served by a third-order martial artist.
Zhang Jianfei waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's all old yellow calendar."
。 In recent years, the supply of various resources of the academy has increased, and the speed of everyone's cultivation has been improved to varying degrees, and the threshold of various errands has naturally risen with the tide. ”
Shang Xia was also surprised when he heard this: "This is the case!"
Zhang Jianfei said at this time: "Although you are now in the Fu Hall, are you interested in coming to the Teaching Department to serve as a teacher?"
Shang Xia was stunned and said, "I'm afraid this thing is not easy, right?"
In addition to the rigid conditions for cultivation, it is also related to personal knowledge, cultivation, and resource allocation, etc., otherwise why can the teaching and learning of the college be superior to others?
Zhang Jianfei had an expression of teasing me, and said, "You Shang Xia is the youngest talisman master in the Fu Hall, the only fourth-order great talisman master in the entire Tongyou Academy, you are not qualified to come to the Teaching Division to teach, so who is qualified?"
Shang Xia still waved his hand and said: "The teaching of martial arts is only a beginner, and now the Fan Fu master who is also teaching and training is enough to be competent, and he has been teaching for many years and has rich experience, this is not a question of whoever has a high level of rune should do the teaching." ”
"That's just as well!"
Zhang Jian nodded, but he obviously didn't want to let go of Shang Xia easily, so he smiled and said: "I know that you are a busy person, since you don't have time to do teaching, then you might as well come to my Chenfang to teach once or twice when you have free time, and you can talk about anything at will, even if your experience in the past two years can open the eyes of this group of boys." ”
In any case, the fourth-order master's personal appearance can be regarded as a rare opportunity for these new students.
Besides, as long as Shang Xia came at that time, how could he talk empty-handed, and naturally there would be some benefits to be given, otherwise how could he be worthy of his identity as a master of the Four Heavens?
Zhang Jianfei said it nicely, but he was actually very shrewd in his heart.
However, Zhang Jianfei is so attentive, obviously he is really interested in the group of half-grown children under his hands.
Shang Xia couldn't refuse, and at the same time felt that this should be something that Shang Xia of the academy liked to see, so he agreed with a smile.
Shang Xia's heart moved at this time, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Who is in charge of the academy now?"
Zhang Jianfei was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said: "Kou Mountain Chief Shenlong sees the head but not the tail, Deputy Mountain Chief Ji rarely sees people now, Yun and Shang are said to be in retreat and penance, and they haven't seen it for a long time, but Deputy Mountain Chief Liu is now performing his duties in the academy." However, our teachings are under the jurisdiction of the respective teachings, and generally do not come into contact with Deputy Mountain Chief Liu himself. ”
Shang Xia understood.
The deputy mountain chief Liu in Zhang Jianfei's mouth is Liu Zhiyuan.
After Liu Jitang's death, Liu Zhiyuan received strong support from the academy, and his own cultivation improved extremely quickly, and now he has advanced to the second layer of the Martial Demon Realm, and it is said that he is even preparing for the smelting of the third Natal Evil.
Since Liu Zhiyuan inherited the position of the head of the Liu family, he also inherited Liu Jitang's position as the deputy head of Tongyou Academy.
It's just that he didn't have enough seniority in the past and was dedicated to hard cultivation, so the position of the deputy mountain chief is more in name only, and even the Liu family's traditional sphere of influence in the academy was once taken over by Zhang Haogu's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Now that Kou Chongxue and the others' attention has been shifted to the competition for the continent outside the territory, a large amount of power has been transferred to the outside of the territory, and the vacuum of the academy's strength has made the patriarch of the Liu family obviously see an opportunity.
However, what gave Shang Xia a bit of a headache was that since the deputy mountain chief began to officially take office, he would inevitably take over the Warehousing Department again, and the Fu Tang where Shang Xia was located was under the jurisdiction of the Warehousing Division.
