Chapter 08: Recognizing the Talisman
Zhao Yi held a stack of rune papers, the expression on his face was cloudy, and finally showed a touch of bitterness. It's not that rune paper is difficult to make, and the production process is not much more complicated than ordinary paper, but that some of the materials that need to be added to make rune paper are too few. Thinking that the master took out a large stack of rune paper for his own practice, with a relaxed look, Zhao Yi sighed in his heart, "Master Tuhao, you left too early!"
In addition to the main materials needed for rune paper, ethereal bamboo, bundle spirit stones, and rootless water, a small amount of other materials need to be added according to the manufacture of different runes, such as the current Zhao Yi will know how to go to the disease talisman needs to add a kind of peel called Luo Shengguo, while the invisibility talisman needs to add a plant called lizard grass.
Ethereal bamboo is sold in a small amount in Maple Leaf City, because the sound quality is very good, and it is mostly used to make flutes. The use of the flute, the year is relatively rare; the beam spirit stone is a special product of Zhao State, the purity is not much, but it is enough with other materials; rootless water refers to clean water, with rain or strong spiritual spring water, of course, the spiritual energy of the mountain spring water is the best; this Luo Shengguo pharmacy is sold, but the amount is too small; and the lizard grass is not found to have much value, not sold in the city, but in the jungle there will be growth, because there are more wild beasts, it is more dangerous to pick.
Although after discussing with his father, the high cost performance of the paper talisman, Zhao Wuregret Hao did not hesitate to say "Buy!" It's just that the already small materials in the city have been bought out by Steward Zhao, and if they need to be restocked, the ethereal bamboo and Luo Shengguo need to go to Yan Kingdom, which is a long way away;
Steward Zhao had to remind: "Lord, little prince, it has already cost a lot of silver taels to buy the materials in the city, if you buy a large number of them, I am afraid that the treasury of King Zhao's mansion will be tight." After Steward Zhao reported the manpower and material resources required for various materials one by one, and the financial status of Zhao Wangfu, Zhao Wuregret was also embarrassed. Zhao Yi had to comfort his father a few words, and the procurement plan was terminated. Zhao Wuregret had no choice but to order to make rune paper from the existing materials first.
Looking at the more than 100 pieces of rune paper in his hand, he had spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was one-tenth of the annual income of Zhao Wangfu, and he was slightly distressed, and he had to sigh that the master and his old man were kind at the beginning, and he couldn't even prepare a piece of material for a hundred taels of silver. Immediately thinking of the rune pen, the rune ink also needs to be specially made, Zhao Yi suddenly found that there was some deviation in his original understanding.
It is no wonder that when the master first explained, he mentioned refining tools and practicing medicine, and this making talisman pen does not need to use refining knowledge? And this ink making needs to use the knowledge of practicing medicine, a paper talisman is all-encompassing, not only needs the aura realm, the spiritual realm to meet the corresponding requirements, but also involves refining and practicing medicine. The only thing that is not required is physical fitness, right? It's just that Zhao Yi immediately denied it: "When making talismans, you need to consume a lot of physical strength. A good body can increase the success rate of the talisman by a lot. ”
One talisman can cure all kinds of diseases, try to go to the disease talisman to know; one talisman can be a strange soldier, just look at the stealth talisman to understand; as for what defense talisman, transmission talisman, fire talisman, water talisman, flying talisman and so on, this not only needs to be in place of materials, but also needs to involve the corresponding qi cultivation realm and even divine sense, Zhao Yi couldn't help but think of the division of talisman master level introduced by Master Qingyuan Zhenren at the beginning. The rune master is divided into four levels and ten layers, specifically:
Talisman Apprentice, corresponding to the first to third levels of Qi training, can create primary-level healing talismans, primary-level auxiliary talismans, and primary-level defense talismans. Due to the level of Qi training, the chance of crafting increases, and there is a small chance of creating a mid-level rune, but it is impossible to make an attack rune. The materials used are level 1-3, and the talisman master, corresponding to the fourth to sixth layers of Qi training, can make attack talismans, and has a greater chance of making intermediate healing talismans, intermediate auxiliary talismans, and intermediate defense talismans, and has a small chance of making high-level talismans. The materials used are grade 4-6. Talisman Grandmaster, corresponding to the seventh to ninth levels of Qi training, can have a greater chance of making high-level attack talismans, using materials level 7-9. Talisman Daoist, the corresponding level is the Great Perfection of Qi Training, deriving divine consciousness, and being able to make Dao talismans. Use materials of grade 10 and above.
Each level of talisman masters is divided into elementary, intermediate, and high levels, which are divided by the level of qi training and talisman making, and Zhao Yi is now an intermediate talisman apprentice. Of course, there are exceptions, for example, a talisman maker with an innate fire spirit body can also make an attack talisman like a fire talisman on the first layer of qi training, because when he cultivates his internal qi, he has his own fire attribute, and he touches the true meaning of fire one step ahead, so he doesn't have to wait until the fourth layer of qi cultivation to forcibly bind the fire formation pattern with a large amount of spiritual power. And it is very difficult for a talisman master to make a Dao talisman, not only does it require a strong divine sense, which is comparable to the spiritual power of the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation, but also a sense of the Dao. Therefore, even if many talisman masters cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation, they are only talisman masters.
Zhao Yi was very helpless, the materials required for talisman apprentices were okay, they were all level 1-3, and the materials above level 4 could basically be found in places such as islands, deep mountains, forests, and oceans. Practice, on the other hand, requires a lot of material. A lot of resources need a lot of money, no wonder the master said that this finance will be ranked first in the "wealth of the law", no money is really not good!
After sorting out his mood, Zhao Yi took stock, according to the master, the rune pen is a mid-level rune pen made by overseas refining masters, and it may not be damaged if it is used hundreds of thousands of times, and there are a lot of rune ink, and it can be used for three or five years. Looking at the existing materials, Zhao Yi decided to make this part in his hand first, and then see how many results he could have.
Concentrate, luck, Zhao Yi lifted the rune pen dipped in rune ink and began to draw on the rune paper, perhaps knowing the value of the material, he became more and more serious, but he couldn't help but be nervous, Zhao Yi's forehead was already sweating slightly, and he almost made a mistake several times in a row, but he controlled it, and an invisibility talisman was still made by him under the fear, but the quality was not as good as the last time. Zhao Yi didn't continue, ready to adjust his state.
In the next two months, Zhao Yi practiced the Yijin Sutra in the morning, practiced the words in the morning, and when he entered the state, he began to draw paper symbols after a while of pranayama, and then ran the Qingqi index to restore his spiritual power at night. Looking at the forty disease-going talismans and thirty-six invisibility talismans in his hand, Zhao Yi felt very satisfied, and the success rate of talisman making reached more than seventy percent. The quality of the talisman varies, Zhao Yi divides them into crude, sophisticated, and perfect, the crude disease removal charm can reduce body pain and achieve the purpose of temporarily controlling the disease, the excellent disease removal charm can remove most diseases and inhibit a few diseases, but the perfect disease removal charm can cure almost all diseases. As for the invisibility charm, the better quality has a longer stealth ability, the ability to move, the crude one can't move, the good one can move but can't last too long, and the perfect stealth ability and movement ability are much better.
Zhao Yi once again sighed, the master should not be too kind in business. The paper talisman he took out far exceeded the perfect quality he had made, and I am afraid that it was also an intermediate talisman at the very least. Zhao Yi thought that there was no one in the entire Maple Leaf City, and a hundred taels of silver was too expensive, and in the end, he was cheaper in vain. Looking at the large stack of paper talismans in his hand, it was like seeing a large pile of gold ingots, these are all money! Zhao Yi's calm heart couldn't help but boil.
This invisibility talisman cannot be sold casually, and if the enemy enters the palace with the invisibility talisman one day, he will not be unjustly killed! However, this charm can be sold, even if it is more expensive, there will be many people to buy it, after all, to be alive, who will be stingy with those two money? besides, the richer the more afraid of death, even if they are not sick, they will buy one or two for spare, who can guarantee that they are not sick today, and they will be free tomorrow?
Zhao Yi thought again, there are stalls, there are trading houses, and occasionally there are cases where the highest bidder wins, but there is no complete bidding model! At least in Maple Leaf City, he has not seen an auction house. Maybe I can discuss with my father and open an auction house in Maple Leaf City, and when I think of the auction house, Zhao Yi's heart becomes more and more hot.
"Lord, this is a report from the business group, the palace income is 100,000 taels of silver, and it costs 12,000 taels of silver to buy materials for the little prince, and the follow-up is still being acquired, the palace spends 4,000 taels per month, and the miscellaneous affairs cost 6,000 taels, and the current balance is 78,000 taels of silver. As soon as Zhao Yi arrived at the door of the chamber hall, he heard Steward Zhao reporting the financial situation to Prince Zhao. "Lord Wang, the five-year period of the city lord is coming, and I am afraid that the assessment of the silver taels is ......" Seeing that his father and the housekeeper were worried, Zhao Yi no longer considered it, and shouted loudly: "Father, I'm here!"
