Chapter 3 The Way of Talisman Making
"This is Elder Han, our Great Talisman Master of the Nine Heavens, you will give Elder Han a hand in the future, and learn the art of talisman making by the way!"
It was Master Ye who was speaking to Gu Changsheng, who was standing in the middle of the secret room full of talisman materials in the Heavenly Machine Pavilion at this moment, and Elder Han on the opposite side was looking Gu Changsheng up and down, his brows furrowed.
Gu Changsheng nodded yes again and again.
"Master, does this Gu nephew really know the art of talisman making? If I'm not mistaken, he must be a handyman in charge of cleaning, right? Do you think it's appropriate to let such a lowly wasted person enter the Heavenly Machine Pavilion? Elder Han complained in displeasure.
Ye Feng chuckled confidently:
"Making spirit runes is a big deal, how can I be a child, this Gu Shi's nephew's cultivation is indeed not high, but he is quite experienced in the art of talisman making, and the success rate of the primary and low-level spirit runes of the fire and thunder system is close to forty percent, and I have already interviewed him."
"As long as Elder Han gives a little guidance and makes some ordinary spirit runes, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Now that the head of the family has opened Chrysostom, I can let this kid stay and give it a try. If it doesn't work for me, I'll sweep him away. Elder Han said with a proud face and an authoritative stand.
"Elder Han, I won't cheat you, if you don't believe in my vision, you can check this kid's spiritual root first. Although this kid's cultivation is not high, he has a rare thunder fire spirit root on his body, his mana is pure and abnormal, and his talent in talisman making is definitely much better than you think. After speaking, Ye Feng patted Gu Changsheng lightly on the back.
Gu Changsheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"Huh! This kid really has some potential, and it seems that the head of the family is also well-intentioned, and he didn't arrest people indiscriminately. Han Chang squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Changsheng carefully, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"The people that Han Lao needs, I have already sent them over, and the progress of the Tianji Pavilion talisman must be hurried. No more talking, there are still a bunch of chores to deal with, I'll leave first. ”
Ye Feng stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around after taking two steps and said to Elder Han:
"The Yunlong Mountain Range has not been very peaceful recently, and the fighting method has consumed a lot of spirit runes, so we must replenish the inventory as soon as possible. Don't delay the big thing here, otherwise Master Shizu will blame it, and you and I can't afford to be guilty! ”
"Boss, please rest assured, I will hurry up and make talismans, and I will never delay things." Han Chang looked serious and solemnly promised.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your great news!" Ye Feng turned around and left satisfied.
So, in the secret room, only Gu Changsheng and Elder Han were left for a while.
"You heard what I said just now, I will teach you the way to make talismans while arranging tasks for you, as long as you can complete my tasks on time every month, the rest of the time is at your disposal."
"I'll only give you one chance, if you can't hand over a sufficient number of spirit runes next month, get out of here!"
Elder Han still disliked Gu Changsheng's status as a miscellaneous servant, and said very unceremoniously without the slightest affection.
"The disciple will not let you down!" Gu Changsheng pretended to be sincerely frightened and replied.
"Of course, being a disciple in the Tianji Pavilion is not without benefits, not only can some of the talisman making tools and raw materials in the pavilion be used for free, but also the spirit stones issued every month are much more than ordinary disciples."
"Now you go with me to meet the other two senior brothers first, and in the future, you can learn from each other and better complete the talisman making task."
Elder Han was quite satisfied with Gu Changsheng's attitude, and said with a soothing expression.
Then he took Gu Changsheng to the attic.
"This is Zhang Yi, this is Li San, and the three of you will be responsible for making junior low-level spirit runes together in the future."
"Changsheng has seen two senior brothers!"
For the sake of face, Zhang Yi and Li San had no choice but to give Gu Changsheng a return salute in an orderly manner.
But there was a hint of contempt in the eyes of the two.
Elder Han didn't notice this detail, and arranged a place for Gu Changsheng to live at random, and Gu Changsheng's cultivation career in Tianji Pavilion began.
With Elder Han's original prejudices, he naturally didn't attach too much importance to a fifth-level Qi refining disciple, and he only had an attitude of coping with Gu Changsheng's guidance.
As a result, a month later, Gu Changsheng came up with a qualified result.
Although this young man's cultivation is not high, he has some small means in the way of talisman making.
Judging from the preparation of dansha alone, the secret Dan liquid made by this person seems to be much better than the secret recipe of Jiuxiaomen. And this son also has his own set of unique techniques in the grinding of dansha.
Using this strange method of preparing dansha ingredients can make the spirit rune much more stable, greatly reducing the phenomenon of aura dissipation.
Some of these very out-of-the-way talisman gadgets and small formations he had never even seen before.
Just a simple formation that could stabilize the surrounding aura in the process of making talismans increased the success rate of his talisman making by as much as two percent.
These Gu Changsheng's unique talisman making secret techniques really opened his eyes.
After a period of contact, Elder Han actually felt that he had benefited a lot from secretly, and he couldn't help but look at this person differently.
Speaking of which, Jiuxiaomen is the sixth major sect in the Tang Kingdom's cultivation realm, with more than 9,000 disciples, of which there are more than 8,000 disciples in the Qi refining period, and only two or three hundred disciples in the foundation building period.
During the Qi refining period, the time for monks to fight the spell is often relatively long, and the use of spirit runes can avoid this weakness.
Therefore, a sufficient inventory of spirit runes is an important guarantee for the combat effectiveness of the sect.
Now that the inventory is urgent, Elder Han naturally does not dare to slack off.
Although Zhang Yi and Li San are his disciples who have been cultivated for many years and are considered his confidants, they are not powerful at this critical moment.
On the contrary, Gu Changsheng's talisman making talent and serious attitude made Elder Han very satisfied.
Even some of the questions raised by Gu Changsheng occasionally scratched some itches for Elder Han, and the two of them discussed it unconsciously, which repeatedly gave him unexpected gains.
In this way, Elder Han no longer had a cold attitude towards Gu Changsheng, but became more and more serious.
From the stern and cold face at the beginning, to the pleasant face later, Zhang Yi and Li San couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The two of them had already had a holiday with Gu Changsheng, but of course they couldn't see each other well at this time, and their ecological attitude towards Gu Changsheng was even worse.
However, Gu Changsheng is favored now, and these two people don't dare to embarrass him too much.
But behind the scenes, the slander of Gu Changsheng by the two was naturally unavoidable.
Gu Changsheng didn't argue with them, but watched the two of them carefully and found out how to counter them.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, Zhang Yi and Li San did not complete the talisman making task on time, and there were still a lot of shortages, Elder Han reprimanded the two of them, and turned his head to complain to Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng was overjoyed in his heart, and said the words he had already prepared.
"For the two senior brothers, there are some things that the disciple doesn't know whether to say or not?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Elder Han waved his hand and asked him to continue.
Gu Changsheng said solemnly: "Then the disciple will say it directly." ”
"Tianji Pavilion has nine floors, except for a small number of areas used to make and store spirit runes, most of the rest are used to store all kinds of books and cultivation exercises."
"There are really a lot of male and female disciples who come to Tianji Pavilion every day to read books, or directly ask for the copied exercises."
"We have nine main peaks in Jiuxiao Gate, five of which are in charge of the female master and ancestor, and there are naturally more female disciples in the door."
"And these female monks are all young women, most of them are beautiful ladies in the world, and all of them are very extraordinary in appearance and conversation."
"The disciple observed from the sidelines and found that although the two senior brothers were tired enough every day, they were fascinated by these female cultivators who came in and out."
"I only know how to exchange spirit stones for some strange things all day long to please these female disciples, but my own cultivation has stagnated for many years."
"If you don't stop the precipice and concentrate on the art of developing talismans, I'm afraid that the two senior brothers will live up to the elder's hard work."
As he spoke, Gu Changsheng carefully observed the other party's reaction.
And Elder Han was already helpless at this time, and nodded again and again.
"These two stinky boys don't do their jobs all day long, and they waste the resources given by the door in vain, and I also hate that iron can't become steel!"
"It's just that the two of them have been following me for many years, and I really can't bear to watch them sink down, if you have good advice, I am willing to listen to it."
Gu Changsheng smiled indifferently and said confidently.
"When I learned the way of talisman making at home, I went into the mountains with my grandfather to practice since I was three years old, reciting scriptures every day with tea and light rice, and it took ten years to cultivate my current mental nature."
"It's better for the elder to take the two senior brothers back to the cave to retreat and cultivate, and they will set aside an hour every day to specifically assess their talisman making skills."
"For the rest of the time, just let them concentrate on cultivating, as long as they persist for twenty years, the two of them will definitely be able to become great weapons!"
Hearing this persuasion, Elder Han bowed his head slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Twenty years......"
Before he sat down, if he wanted to keep in control of the talisman making work of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, he had to cultivate these two disciples to become talents.
It's just that if you want to lock the two of you in the cave for twenty years, won't it be too hard......
"Twenty years is the most important thing for a monk, but with the flick of a finger, someone inherits the Dao lineage!"
As if seeing through the old man's thoughts, Gu Changsheng reminded him at the right time.
"Hmm...... You have a point, and that's it! ”
Elder Han nodded emphatically and made up his mind.
……
Looking at the back of the old man leaving, Gu Changsheng smiled knowingly.
just moved his mouth, and imprisoned the two of them in the cave for twenty years, and in the future, in this Tianji Pavilion, he can live a happy life.
