Chapter 6 Proficiency
The night went by in a flash.
When the first rays of morning light appear in the sky.
Inside the house, Shen Mo had been painting all night, sleepless.
"Twenty-three talismans, none of them succeeded."
He stretched, shook his head and sighed.
Last night, he didn't rest for a moment, and tried twenty-three times, but all failed.
If it is someone else, there is no progress overnight, most of them will not continue.
But Shen Mo didn't have the slightest thought of being discouraged.
On the contrary, he remained quite excited.
Although all the talismans he drew failed, he gained a lot of experience and proficiency!
After a night of hard work, his rune experience has increased from 2/500 to 46/500.
As for the proficiency of the light talisman, it has been increased all the way to 71/100.
Although none of the talismans were successful, the growth of experience could be seen and motivate him to continue practicing.
"One more time!"
After rubbing his sore palm slightly, Shen Mo sat down on the desk again and began a new round of drawing.
"Buzz!"
This time, when the blood of the demon beast dripped on the light talisman, and the talisman was enlightened, the golden light shone!
A message that surprised Shen Mo soon came.
[Congratulations, you drew the talisman: light talisman, and you succeeded.] γ
Rune XP +10
γLight Talisman Mastery +30γ
[Your light talisman proficiency has been improved, from the original (unfamiliar) to (proficient), and your success rate in drawing light talismans has increased.] γ
"It worked!" Shen Mo was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed.
After a night of hard work, I finally have a decent finished product!
At this moment, the sense of accomplishment in Shen Mo's heart was simply full.
I can't wait for three more days and three nights without sleep, concentrating on making talismans.
However, when he looked up at the sky, he still suppressed the urge in his heart.
It's dawn, and I'm about to go on duty.
If you are late, the poor monthly salary, which is already small, will be deducted a lot!
"Gone!"
He took out a package, packed all the materials needed to draw the talismans, such as a pen, yellow paper, animal blood, and sandalwood ink, and carried it on his back, and then set off.
"Try the effect of the light talisman!"
Walking out of the residence, Shen Mo's heart moved, and he put the light talisman on his leg.
"Tread, tread, stride!"
The light body talisman was covered on his thighs, and Shen Mo only felt fluttering, as if riding the wind, and walked quickly.
"It's worthy of a talisman, and it really works well! Ha ha! β
The first time he tried this talisman effect, Shen Mo was a little surprised and a little satisfied.
Ignoring the surprised gazes of many sect disciples coming and going in the square, he walked like a fly, and quickly rushed towards the mountain gate.
.........
"You're here."
Cao Ren was already on duty at the mountain gate, and when he saw Shen Mo's figure fluttering, he locked his eyes on the light talisman on his thigh, and said in surprise: "You succeeded in drawing the talisman last night?" β
"Well, after a long night, I scrapped more than 20 talismans, and I finally succeeded once."
Shen Mo said truthfully.
"..... all night? β
Cao Ren wasn't surprised that he had successfully drawn the light talisman overnight, after all, this light talisman was not a high-level talisman, and it was not difficult to get started.
The focus of his attention was instead on Shen Mo's drawing talisman that did not sleep at night.
"It's a little strange that you're so enthusiastic." Cao Ren made up for a while, and said, "Shouldn't you be thinking that after leaving the sect, when you go to the world, you will rely on this light talisman to pretend to be a god and a ghost in the mortal world, and deceive?" β
Although the light talisman is only one of the most unpopular talismans in the immortal cultivation world.
But for mortals, it's enough to bluff them for a moment.
If you are thoughtful and calculating, even if you only rely on the ability of this talisman, it is enough to be on the rich side of the mortal world.
"Where do you want to go?" Shen Mo smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it's okay not to touch the way of this talisman, but once you come into contact, it's really obsessive and you can't stop." β
"I brought all the things that made talismans, and there was nothing to do to guard the mountain gate, you have been watching the wind for me for a few days, and I am guarding it while I am busy and leisurely, and I will practice for a while."
It's a pity not to fish for such a leisurely job.
Shen Mo had already prepared to fish for a long time.
On this day, the mountain gate is guarded.
Shen Mo hid in the pavilion, only caring about drawing talismans to increase his proficiency.
And other things are basically handed over to Cao Ren.
Cao Ren didn't complain about this, after all, it wasn't much work.
From sunrise in the east, the morning dawn has just arrived, to the sunset in the west, and the sun sets in the west.
Shen Mo was busy and drew more than 30 light talismans.
With the improvement of proficiency and the improvement of rune experience, Shen Mo gradually practiced makes perfect, and his efficiency increased greatly.
When the end of guarding the mountain gate is over, it is about to be handed over.
Shen Mo clenched the three successfully drawn light talismans, and was quite proud: "Thirty times of drawing, the yield has increased very quickly, and it has reached ten to one." β
He thought as he looked at his rune experience and light talisman proficiency, both of which had also increased by 64 and 88 points, respectively.
"However, it is still in the practice phase."
"If you really calculate the accounts, the yield rate of ten to one is a loss-making transaction."
Shen Mo calculated carefully in his heart.
The general selling price of light talismans in the fang market is that ten talismans can be sold for one low-grade spirit stone.
The rune paper, sandalwood ink, and animal blood used to enlighten the spirit required to make the light body talisman are roughly equivalent to about thirty percent of the selling price.
In other words, the reason why Shen Mo didn't feel anything was because the materials were all left by his father and mother, and he didn't have to buy them himself, so he didn't feel distressed.
If you really want to draw ten light talismans according to the cost accounting, the yield needs to be about 30% in order to return to the cost.
And that's not even counting the time and effort that the monks who drew the talismans put into it.
If you want to make money by drawing talismans and subsidize the use of cultivation, the yield needs to reach 50% in order to make some starts.
"There's still a long way to go."
After some calculations, Shen Mo's original excitement dissipated a little.
At the end of the day, we're still trading at a loss.
However, there is no hurry.
I have a lot of time!
During this time, I concentrated on refining the light talisman, striving to improve the yield rate, and practiced the proficiency of the light talisman to the state of perfection!
And so, for the next whole month.
In addition to his cultivation, Shen Mo devoted all his energy to the work of refining talismans.
Day and night, guarding the mountain gate during the day, touching the fish and making talismans, tirelessly at night, reviewing and practicing.
After such a long period of practice, Shen Mo's rune level has also increased by leaps and bounds.
If there were no accidents, he had planned to study for a while longer and improve his proficiency in one go.
It wasn't until one day that a girl with long flowing hair and a slender figure came to visit, which interrupted his talisman making process.
