Half a day later, in an underground market, a young man in a green robe sat in an antique living room.

Taking a sip of the spiritual tea on the wooden table in front of him, the young man looked around at the elegant layout in the room and praised: "The treatment of high-level qi practitioners is really good, but I don't know if the jade slip that recorded the way of the talisman last time is still there." ”

The boy is Zhang Qiang.

After a while, an old man with thick eyebrows appeared at the door, and after seeing Zhang Qiang, he showed a hint of surprise.

"Daoyou said that he has a second-level demon pill?" The old man frowned, feeling that the young man in front of him was young, and he didn't look like a high-level qi practitioner who could kill second-level demon beasts.

Zhang Qiang took the old man's look into his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, turned his hand and took out a round thing, which was the size of an egg, and said, "Your Excellency, see if this thing is what you want!"

The old man's eyes froze, he looked at Zhang Qiang deeply, and then carefully put the demon pill in his hand and observed.

After a while, the old man looked happy and said: "This is really a second-level demon pill, and the demon yuan power is intact and almost not lost, it is the best of the second-level demon pills." ”

Nodding slightly, Zhang Qiang said lightly: "I heard that there is a jade slip in your place that records the method of refining talismans, and it is specified to exchange it for a second-level demon pill, I wonder if the jade slip is still there?"

"Fellow Daoist, please wait here, the old man will go and fetch the jade slip!" the old man smiled, said hello, and left quickly.

After the tea effort, the old man really reappeared with a thumb-sized jade slip, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "The person who commissioned it is very anxious, and he is about to send this jade slip to other places, and Daoyou happened to appear here." It seems that this way of talisman is very close to Daoyou!"

Zhang Qiang took the jade slip, put it towards the center of his eyebrows, and as soon as his divine sense came out, a series of words instantly appeared in his mind, which was the method of making talismans.

"No problem. After Zhang Qiang checked it, he confirmed that what was recorded in the jade slip was a genuine method of refining talismans.

"Since that's the case, then this deal is settled!" the old man breathed a sigh of relief, the owner of the jade slip seemed to be eager to exchange for the second-level demon pill, and under repeated urging, he almost gave up cooperating with them.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiang rushed over at the critical moment and let them complete the deal, which would be very beneficial to the reputation or interests of their market.

"By the way, I need a talisman pen, I want a high-grade one!" After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qiang said.

The old man smiled slightly, patted his chest and said: "The talisman pen is not a valuable thing, Daoyou will help us make this deal, and the old man is in charge, so I will give you a high-grade talisman pen." If he is proficient in the way of the talisman, he can also entrust the talisman to us for auction, and as for the price, he will definitely not let the Taoist friend suffer!"

After leaving Fang City, Zhang Qiang took a dark red pen with a blood-red hair in front of him and looked at it.

"I didn't expect this talisman pen to be made of the wolf hair of the blood-haired demon wolf, looking at the color of these wolf hair, it should be just an ordinary first-class demon wolf, no wonder the old man is willing to send it to me directly." Zhang Qiang muttered to himself.

Unable to return to the Black Dragon Sect for a while, Zhang Qiang headed north and stopped in a remote valley.

After seeing a cave at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Qiang waved the small stick in his hand and easily opened up the cave into a temporary residence.

Simply brought some flat rocks as tables and stools, Zhang Qiang set up some simple cover at the entrance of the cave, and rested in the stone cave.

After two days of fighting, and encountering a once-in-a-century herd of beasts, even if his body was far beyond ordinary people, he was tired.

"The Black Dragon Sect has a formation to protect it, presumably the third uncle will be fine!, on the contrary, I am isolated outside by the formation, and I can't get the blood orchid for the time being!" Countless thoughts flashed in his heart, and Zhang Qiang fell asleep.

......

The valley is remote, but it's rarely clean. As the rain falls in the morning, a few young leaves in the soil are trying to pull up to the sun, ready for the sun to rise.

Zhang Qiang held this palm-sized piece of animal skin in his left hand, and in his right hand he held the blood-haired wolf talisman pen obtained from the underground fang market, dipped it in some demon beast essence blood, and then carefully drew a strange pattern.

In the center of the pattern, there is a miniature sword.

At the moment when Zhang Qiang put away his pen, the animal skin snorted, and a flame ignited and burned.

Zhang Qiang's left hand shook, and he saw a flash of spiritual light, enveloping the flames in the instant.

But the flame was not extinguished, and after a few breaths, the skin became pitch black and completely scrapped.

On the stone table behind Zhang Qiang, seven or eight similar charred black animal skins were thrown in a mess.

"It's really not easy to use animal skins, it seems that you should still get some rune paper to practice!" Zhang Qiang sighed in a low voice, cleaned up a little, and rushed to the underground market.

Directly finding the old man the day before, Zhang Qiang directly proposed that he needed to buy rune paper and Qixing sand.

The old man was not surprised, and said with a smile: "The way of the talisman is not easy, although the demon beast skin can also be used as a carrier, but relatively speaking, the specially treated talisman paper is more suitable." Especially for beginners like Daoyou, you should practice with rune paper. ”

After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to take a dozen rune paper and seven star sand, needless to say, the rune paper is the carrier of the rune, and the seven star sand is mixed with the blood of the demon beast, but it can greatly increase the probability of success of the rune, which is also the reason why Zhang Qiang wants this thing.

Fortunately, both things are not expensive, and the old man specially gave Zhang Qiang a discount, so he only paid three spirit stones in the end, and he got enough materials.

After thinking about it slightly, Zhang Qiang asked: "I don't know if there is a simple formation here, Zhang arranged the cave mansion and needed this thing." ”

The old man smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence, we have several sets of formations in the auction here, which are used by qi practitioners to arrange the cave mansion, which is absolutely just right." It's just that Zhang Daoyou also knows that the price of the formation will be a little expensive......"

Zhang Qiang didn't have many spirit stones on his body, but thinking about the number of demon pills in the storage bag, he asked to see those sets of formations with an unchanged expression.

The old man would never refuse the business delivered to the door, and when he returned again, he brought four sets of formations.

"This set is a water ripple array, once activated, it can not only protect the safety of the cave, but also have some healing auxiliary effects for the people in the formation......" The old man pointed to a cyan array flag and explained endlessly.

"Seiya Array, it can attract a trace of star power, and the defense formed can resist the full attack of monks below the fourth level of Qi training......"

......

Zhang Qiang's eyes flashed, and his heart quickly thought about it.

Finally, he pointed to a set of dark blue array flags and said, "This Five Soul Refining Heart Array has some meaning, that is, can the price be lower?"

The old man said: "Zhang Daoyou is really a good vision, this formation has average defensive power, but it has the effect of a phantom array. As long as it is arranged outside the cave, it is not easy for monks or fierce beasts to approach, and it is definitely the most suitable formation for those who are loose cultivators. Then he said: "In terms of price, the minimum is ten spirit stones, and you must know that the original price of Lu Dao is twelve spirit stones." With the old man's ability, he can only give this price. ”

Zhang Qiang said: "I don't know if I can use the demon pill to replace the spirit stone?"

The old man's face was surprised, and then he nodded: "Of course, three first-level demon pills are equivalent to a spirit stone, which is comparable to the price of a nearby sect, and if there are many of them, they can be discounted." If Zhang Daoyou pays the demon pill, it only takes twenty-seven. ”

Zhang Qiang lifted the storage bag on his waist, loosened the mouth of the bag, took out a bunch of demon pills from it, pushed it in front of the old man, and said, "Please count it." ”

The old man glanced at Zhang Qiang deeply, as if he wanted to engrave his face in his heart, then lowered his head and counted it, and muttered in his mouth: "It turned out to be the Neidan of the first-level blood-haired demon wolf, so many, Zhang Daoyou shouldn't have slaughtered a wolf pack, right?"

Zhang Qiang kept silent and did not explain the matter, leaving the old man to guess alone.

After the old man finished counting, Zhang Qiang left the underground fang market directly, confirmed that no one was following, and quickly rushed back to the cave.

Thinking that he would soon be able to refine the talisman, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but feel hot in his heart......

After returning to the cave, Zhang Qiang discarded the scrapped materials of the previous day, closed his eyes and crossed his knees to breathe.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already bright, and both his spirit and spiritual power had recovered to their best state.

Mixing the Seven Star Sand into the blood of the demon beast, Zhang Qiang took out a piece of yellow rune paper, lifted the rune pen with his right hand, reviewed the method of refining the rune recorded in the jade slip, and carefully started to draw it.

After a while, the rune paper in Zhang Qiang's hand popped, and it turned into a little spiritual light and burst open.

Zhang Qiang shook his head, and after reflecting carefully, he started the process of refining the talisman again.

It is not an easy thing to become a master of talisman refining, and it is said that the training of talisman masters by major sects is based on thousands of actual combat exercises.

Zhang Qiang was resolute and understood that the failure in front of him would become a valuable experience for future success, and he drew the pattern of the rune sword on the new rune paper again and again.

In this way, until the third day, Zhang Qiang held an intact rune paper with a mini sword shining brightly, which was the first rune he had successfully refined, a rune sword.

"Try it and see how powerful it is!" Zhang Qiang opened his mouth and sprayed, only to see the spirit of the rune sword in his hand flash, turning into a three-foot sword light, roaring out.

"Hurry!" After the sword disc circled for a few weeks, with Zhang Qiang's low shout, it suddenly slashed towards a stone in the corner of the cave.

There was a thud, and the ten pieces burst open and turned into a pile of debris. At the same time, the runic sword also dimmed, and it dissipated inch by inch after bursting.

"It's similar to the power of the Fu Sword used by others!" Zhang Qiang made a judgment in his heart in an instant.

After making sure that the rune sword he refined was not much different from the one used by others, Zhang Qiang's goal was to increase the success rate of talisman refining.

After another two days, there were only a few pieces of rune paper left in Zhang Qiang's hand, and the success rate of refining the rune sword had also increased from ten one or two at the beginning to five or six out of ten.

With such a success rate, he can already be regarded as a qualified talisman.

Zhang Qiang lifted the pen, drew the pattern, and then closed the pen, and the whole process was almost in one go.

Looking at the newly refined talisman in his hand with satisfaction, Zhang Qiang walked to the stone bench and wanted to sit down and rest, but he saw a flash of light on his side, and a faint blue light was emitted from the small stick on the side of the stone bench, and he didn't get into the talisman in his hand in an instant......
