Zhou Ran sighed, he slowly withdrew his hand, rubbed his wrist that was a little sore, his face was very tired, making a talisman was more difficult than he imagined, don't look at what he made, it was just some basic qi gathering spells, but the degree of difficulty was far beyond Zhou Ran's imagination.

First of all, the most difficult point is consumption, every time he makes a qi gathering charm and inputs the internal qi into it, he has to ask about 1/5 of the total amount of his period, which is already very exaggerated, you must know that the total amount of internal qi that Zhou Ran himself has is almost equivalent to about 100 ordinary innate martial artists, even if it is the kind of innate great master who has cultivated the innate internal qi to the limit, he can also top about 10, but this level of internal qi has to consume 1/ every time he has to consume 1/ 5. Even barely able to meet the most basic requirements.

Of course, it is not impossible to reduce the consumption of internal qi, but Zhou Ran has also tried a few times, if he controls the total amount of internal qi input to less than 1/5 of the internal qi in his body, then there will be an obvious situation where the internal qi circulation is not smooth, and the probability that the made spell can still maintain the flood level is very low.

At present, only one of the 12 attempts was able to maintain the flood level when the input of internal qi was small, but even so, it brought a Hong-level Qi Gathering Charm that maintained normal, and compared it with this shoddy charm, it was obvious that this Charm that cut corners, whether it was the speed of gathering the aura of heaven and earth, or the speed of output, became much worse than the other normal version, and more importantly, its durability was also very poor.

In this way, Zhou Ran has to consume a large amount of internal qi to inject into the spell every time, and what is even more hateful is that even if so much internal qi is injected, there is also a probability of about 20%~30%, and when making it, he will be accidentally distracted because of hand trembling, his spirit is too tired, or he is not detailed enough when depicting, which leads to a mistake in the charm, and then the whole charm is scrapped on the spot.

Fortunately, the value of the things Zhou Ran is using now is not too high, the spiritual ink he opened from the treasure chest is basically blue light, and there are only two bottles of purple light, and the base materials he uses are all ordinary bamboo chips, which are not of much value, even if it really fails a few times, the most loss is actually its internal qi.

However, this also indirectly slowed down his production speed, almost a whole day, he only spent about 6 hours sleeping and eating, and the remaining seventeen or eighteen hours were all making spells, but in this case, he only produced less than 30 or so Hong-level Qi Gathering Charms, and more than 100 Desolate Charms left.

The effect that these desolate level charms can get is really too poor, and he also tried a little bit of the desolate level charms, which can also gather the aura of heaven and earth, but whether it is the total amount of storage or the speed of convergence, it is very slow, and more importantly, the desolate level qi gathering charm, there is no way to directly draw out the aura of heaven and earth inside, but must keep the aura inside, and then wear it on his body, so as to be able to slow down the fatigue of his body, restore the energy in his body, or strengthen his body, And either of them is very slow.

For example, to recover the fatigue of the body and the recovery of internal qi, Zhou Ran wore a full 30 desolate level qi gathering charms on his body, but after absorbing a large amount of heaven and earth aura, the cumulative recovery speed of these qi gathering charms was not even as fast as Zhou Ran's recovery speed in a normal state, although it was not shown in detail, but he calculated that the recovery speed provided by each desolate level charm was only about 2% of his normal speed for him. In other words, the speed at which it accumulates by wearing 50 chapters of desolate level spells is equivalent to doubling his recovery speed.

Shook his head a little helplessly, the desolate level charm can only be thrown to those wild stone spearmen, for him, a super physical monster and an internal qi freak, such a recovery speed is indeed quite slow, but for those ordinary warriors, if this desolate level talisman is full of heaven and earth aura, the recovery speed should be able to reach about 10%~15% of their normal state, which is already quite good, if one person wears two or three cards, That's about a 50% increase in their speed.

This is also the reason why Zhou Ran will occasionally draw a desolate level charm when he feels very tired in his spare time, when drawing a desolate level charm, he does not need to consume too much internal qi, he found that even if he injected a large amount of internal qi, but because of various reasons, the quality of the charm fell to the desolate level, and the gap between it and the spell drawn by using spiritual ink alone is not particularly large, so there is no need to waste those internal qi.

In addition to the above-mentioned important reasons for consuming a large amount of internal qi, there is another problem that plagues Zhou Ran, he found that the bamboo chips he used as the substrate are indeed a good idea, after all, he has nothing at hand to make materials that can be used to make talismans, but this also limits the number of times the qi gathering talisman can be used, the absurd-level talisman is okay, he just needs to store a certain amount of heaven and earth aura in it, and there is no need to release it extraordinarily, so he roughly judged each desolate talisman, If you just wear it on your body and don't suffer from external damage, then there will be no problems with normal use for a year or two.

But the Hong-level spell is different, under normal circumstances, the Hong-level charm can indeed be used, longer than the desolate level charm, it is injected with such a large amount of internal qi, at least it can be maintained for about 5 years, but if the heaven and earth aura inside is drawn out in this process, this will greatly reduce the durability of the charm, and its upper limit of durability, it only takes about 3~5 times, and a Hong-level charm will be completely scrapped.

It took a lot of internal qi to make a Hong-level talisman, each one can only be used 3~5 times, which does make Zhou Ran feel a little helpless, but it's normal to think about it, after all, the number of times a talisman can be used is basically the number of times it can be used, and its durability mainly depends on its substrate, in most cases, the talisman made of jade, it is rare to be damaged after only one use, but if it is made with rune paper, in addition to the top gold and silver runes, ordinary yellow runes, blue runes and purple runes, All of them will be completely damaged after one use, and this is because of the difference in substrates.

Bamboo as a substrate, because it is a completely natural plant, but also very hard, not only can depict the spell on it, with the nature of nature, its aura transmission ability is about the same, equivalent to the blue rune or even the purple rune, and the stronger body, so that his durability is stronger, the general spell is stronger, if you want to say it, it is very good in the low-level material, and I can't think of a better alternative material for a while, In desperation, it is worth continuing to use bamboo as your own substrate.

Zhou Ran pondered these while continuing to depict the spell, this bottle of ice attribute spirit ink, after more than ten hours of use, now there is not much left, you must know that every time you dip your pen into the spirit ink, the amount of spirit ink it absorbs is all fixed, unless it is of that kind of quality and high capacity, otherwise under normal circumstances, it is the limit of using it 100 times, and the bottle he drew out is that kind of large dose, that is, about three times, One bottle can be used about 200 times.

But after using it until now, Zhou Ran turned his head and looked at the bottom of the bottle, there was not much left, some indifferent pouts, Zhou Ran soaked the pen in the spiritual ink, and began to draw the next spell, this bottle of spiritual ink He plans to use all of it to draw the Qi Gathering Charm, as for the next bottle of spiritual ink, let's see what the attributes of the spiritual ink are.

His patience is still good, judging from his current situation, although the speed of internal qi recovery is a little slower, and the amount of consumption is a little faster, but if he has patience, he can still bear to draw 100 or so charms a day, after all, he has done more boring things in his previous life, and drawing spells is already relatively interesting.

After dropping the last stroke, Zhou Ran raised his hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief, although its internal qi was already running out, and most of its energy was consumed, but in the end, it still didn't drop the chain. This talisman is a very perfect Hong-level Qi Gathering Talisman, and when he picked up this talisman, he put this Hong-level talisman in the bamboo basket on the side.

At this time, there were two utensils beside Zhou Ran, a very small bamboo basket, and a very large bamboo basket, in which were about 30 Hong-level charms, and in that bamboo building were more than 100 wild-level charms.

looked at the spirit ink in the bottle, and after making sure that all of them were used up, he threw the bottle aside, then turned around, took out the second bottle of spirit ink from the small shelf behind him, and picked up a bottle casually, Zhou Ran suddenly stopped, he had drawn so many qi gathering charms just now, and the effect of the Hong-level charms was barely okay, although he hadn't tried it yet, but compared to the desolate level charms, it should be a lot stronger, and more than 30 Hong-level charms should be enough for a period of time even if they are used separately by several generals in the territory, So he wanted to try his hand at painting other charms.
