Chapter 17: The Talisman
Xue Tong had saved more than 800 spirit stones in his pocket.
He spent everything before entering the outer gate, received two hundred and ten in seven months, and made a lot of money by fighting with the Jingwu Regiment for six hundred, plus one hundred in the newcomer's bag, deducting the cost of entertaining guests and buying animal meat, the heavy spirit stone bag contained a total of eight hundred and sixty-five spirit stones.
Among them, three orange spirit stones are particularly eye-catching, and they are medium-grade spirit stones that Wen Kangda lost in betting.
The spirit stones are divided into four levels, ordinary gray-black spirit stones, orange medium-grade spirit stones, azure high-grade spirit stones, and the legendary mutton fat white top-grade spirit stones.
The upper-grade spirit stones that are full of fineness are converted into one hundred lower-grade spirit stones, such as a blue top-grade is equivalent to one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and is worth 10,000 ordinary spirit stones.
Ordinary spirit stone has no quality, the color of the high-grade spirit stone with insufficient color is roughly converted according to the color, as the aura is sucked, the color of the medium-grade spirit stone will change from orange to yellow, and then to light yellow, until the gray and black spots cover the surface of the spirit stone, and a medium-grade spirit stone is "sucked" into an ordinary spirit stone.
The yellow spirit stone is worth sixty, while the light yellow medium grade is generally converted into thirty.
The conversion method of high-grade and top-grade spirit stones is similar.
……
Three days later, the inner market.
The dry and cold winter of Luoxiao Mountain has not stopped people's enthusiasm for visiting the market, and the city in Jinyun Valley is noisy and noisy.
Xue Tong went to the pharmacy he had patronized, his favorite marrow washing and bone cutting pill was out of stock, the owner of the pharmacy was a disciple of the alchemy room, in order to facilitate the receipt of goods on both sides, the boss was neither a person from the Cangliu Society nor the Jingwu Group, he purchased spiritual materials and elixirs, and refined six kinds of pills such as Qingfeng, Jinhuan, Quenching Bone, Condensing Qi, Xuanhuang, and Washing the Marrow and Cutting the Bone.
Xuanmen pills are divided according to the rank, the most common Julingsan and detoxification powder belong to the non-grade pills that do not enter the stream, Qingfeng Dew, Jin Huanlu, Quenching Bone Pill, Condensing Qi Pill, and Xuanhuang Pill are recorded as one product, and the marrow washing and bone cutting pill can barely be regarded as the second grade, also known as the pill from the second grade.
One of Xue Tong's major goals today is to be the true second-grade elixir Hun Yuan Dan, which he intends to take in the middle of a high-level martial artist.
He then went to the "Cangliu Pharmacy", which was the place where the members of the Cangliu Society concentrated on consignment, Xue Tong showed the black wooden card to show his identity, one hundred and eighty spirit stones bought a pill of marrow washing and bone cutting, the disciple who guarded the shop heard the name of Hun Yuan Dan, and said ridiculously: "Little brother has not been long in the beginning, how can Hun Yuan Dan have inventory, it has always been in short supply, and if it arrives sporadically, it will be snatched up immediately."
"The shops in the Treasure Pavilion have goods from time to time, so try your luck there."
Hun Yuandan is not in a hurry, Xue Tong has a shopping mall, he is short of spirit stones, eight or nine hundred is far from enough, and the way he has figured out how to make money is when it is feasible to try it or not.
His mental strength is extremely high, and it's a pity that he doesn't use it to draw talismans.
Drawing talismans requires the use of talisman pens and talisman ink, drawing specific patterns on the talisman paper, integrating the artistic conception of mana and spell casting, and finally using French containing attribute laws to put the finishing touch.
"Eight pieces of ordinary rune paper for one hundred, and twenty for a good one." The young man who set up the stall quoted the price.
"Where's the rune pen and ink?"
"The wolf pen of the silverback demon wolf is seventy per branch, rune ink, if the little brother is not very short of money, it is recommended to buy a slightly better rune ink, eighty per box, which is neither too expensive, nor does it affect the effect of the practice because of the quality."
The young man's suggestion was basically in line with Xue Tong's idea, and Xue Tong bought the rune pen and ink, plus five hundred rune papers.
……
Square and square, the half-foot-large rune paper was spread on the stone table, Xue Tong unscrewed the ink cartridge, a faint fishy smell entered his nose, the rune paper was made of spirit wood material mixed with the leather of the demon beast, and the main material of the rune ink was the blood and bone marrow of the demon beast.
The wolf pen was dipped in talisman ink, and Xue Tong was engrossed in studying the art of talisman making.
Lightning strike, this is the spell he is most familiar with, he looked at the complex runes on the Hundred Runes over and over again, with the ups and downs of the pattern strokes, meditating on the artistic conception of it, painting the talisman requires calm and calm, the mind runs through the whole process, such as casting spells can not be paused, must be done in one go.
When the pattern is clear in the chest, after the memorization is familiar, Xue Tong began to draw on the rune paper, the actual drawing is not easy, the size of the pen, the thickness of the stroke will distract the painter, a little dull, the pen is no longer coherent, draw into a waste of symbols.
After the first one was painted, Xue Tong compared the patterns on the rune paper with the Hundred Rune Sutra, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, the lines were uneven, the graphics were dull, and the whole rune map was only a little similar.
One, two...... Practice makes perfect, and 100 are tempered into steel. After more than 70 sheets, the patterns and artistic conceptions drawn are four or five points similar to the Hundred Fu Sutra.
Drawing runes was extremely energy-consuming, and the loss of mental power made Xue Tong have to stop frequently, and he could only practice at a rate of thirty sheets a day.
Xue Tong didn't even go to watch the battle between the Cangliu Society and the Jingwu Regiment in the Iron Sword Valley.
"It's probably not a good thing to show your head less and be paid too much attention."
In the afternoon, Zhou Yan sent a message that Cangliu would win 3-2, and his great joy was overflowing with words, and he asked Xue Tong to finish the interview.
"Hehe, Zhou Yan's favor can be repaid, but long-winded things will also follow, and the future will inevitably make trouble for me."
When the three hundred rune paper were drawn, the rune drawn by Xue Tong was exactly the same as the Hundred Rune Sutra, and the difference could not be distinguished, and the first step of making the talisman was completed.
Xue Tong began the second stage of practice, when drawing the rune, the mana was injected into the rune pen, condensed on the tip of the pen, and turned it into the rune paper with the line, when the last stroke was finished, I saw the light of the rune flash, and a puff of black smoke came out, and the rune paper burned through a big hole!
He drew dozens of more pictures one after another, but he was full of expectations but found nothing, either the rune paper burned through, or there was no movement, and the talismans he drew were all wasted talismans!
"Mana penetrates unevenly, and it can't be fused through." Xue Tong silently recited the hints on the runes.
Draw a charm, rest, continue to draw a symbol......
Another one, Xue Tong stared at the rune paper, the pattern on the rune paper suddenly lit up, and the rune map became lifelike and full of aura!
It's done! Xue Tong's sense of exhaustion was swept away, and he couldn't help laughing wildly in the face of his proud work.
There is still one last step left in the talisman paper, that is, in the right corner of the talisman paper, the attribute French is printed.
The French text of the thunder attribute describes the law of the thunder attribute, what kind of law of heaven and earth, the inherent law?
Xue Tong stared at the end of the Hundred Fu Sutra, the French at the top of the thunder list.
More than 20 strokes, not complicated French, like pictures but not pictures, like words not words, I can't see any anger. Indeed, the French text of the Hundred Runes Sutra is only an accurate copy, Xue Tong reflected the stereotyped French text into the sea of knowledge, meditated on the chaotic world of thunder, countless lightning bolts cut through the darkness, and followed the gestures of the French, trying to establish even the slightest connection between "text" and "thunder".
French is the crystallization of the inspiration of the super warriors, they recorded the moment of the flash of inspiration, the magical text that jumped out in the sea of consciousness to describe the law of attributes, this kind of heavenly text, if the latecomers do not have enough comprehension and induction, it is impossible to see the power of the law contained in it.
One day, two days...
The French gradually became alive and ready to move, and a mysterious force seemed to be about to squeeze out the French and release it violently.
Finally, Xue Tong comprehended the power of the law from the French, and the French seemed to turn into a thunderbolt at any time, reflecting the sea of knowledge.
He grabbed the talisman pen, walked the dragon and snake, and printed the French text with mysterious brilliance in the sea of knowledge on the rune paper in one go.
The rune paper shook slightly, and a fluctuation visible to the naked eye spread out from the edge of the text, diffusing the rune map, diffusing the entire rune paper, and a layer of crystal streamer spread on the paper, pausing slightly, and finally all of it was submerged.
The first layer of the lightning charm is complete!
As long as you continue to comprehend one French after another on the thunder list, the continuously enhanced attribute laws can be printed into the rune paper to match those higher-level thunder spells.
The comprehension of the French language depends on the improvement of the spell, and the process of cultivating the spell is the process of comprehending the law of attributes, and the French language expresses this comprehension in the simplest and most condensed form, the higher the spell, the easier it is to "understand" this kind of text.
Comprehending the French is obviously much more profound than the hazy and abstract comprehension in the cultivation process, which in turn greatly promotes the cultivation of the spell.
The list of thunder characters in the Hundred Runes Sutra is only four characters, and it seems that even if it is a collection of French, I don't know how long it will take.
Only a small amount of mana is needed to detonate the mana pre-integrated on the rune, and then according to the rules described in French, the spell represented by the rune is activated, and this process is like the process of casting a spell.
Not every time you can successfully print the vivid French in the sea of knowledge on the rune paper, if the printing fails, the rune will only crackle and jump out of a few electric sparks, still a piece of waste paper.
……
A month later, five hundred pieces of rune paper were used up, and a total of twenty-three lightning strike talismans were made, and Xue Tongxing rushed to the inner city.
"No!" The young man who set up the stall pursed his lips and said coldly.
"Who wants a layer of talismans? Unless it's a talisman like Tengyun and Transsion, which can come in handy. The young man's words poured a basin of cold water on Xue Tong, who was eager to recover his capital.
"I still have to make money!" Xue Tong let out a long sigh.
……
Xue Tong bought a new rune paper and rune ink, and went to the store in the Treasure Pavilion again, the Hunyuan Dan he ordered half a month ago arrived, and this Dan was three hundred and fifty spirit stones, which was not cheap.
His sense of fullness is getting tighter day by day, and it is imminent to break through the level.
Xue Tong hung up the retreat card at the gate of the courtyard, and he even threw the jade card of the sect aside, closed the stone door of the practice room, and tried to break through.
Ten days later, the mana that he could not continue to purify had completely filled the sea of law, and above his head, the air fluctuated slightly, and the aura of heaven and earth gathered, entrenching in a funnel-shaped cloud.
The key to the remaining magic of the first layer of the three-element formula is that the domain wall that imprisons the Fahai can never be broken, and it is necessary to continue to guide the medium and high-pressure gas in the Fahai to persistently attack the "wall".
Once this level is passed, the formula will be completed, and the middle period will come.
