Chapter 37: Amazing Efficiency

The rune paper exploded and raised black smoke, which confused Yan Xu's face, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Yan Xu smiled bitterly: "Even with the blessing of the sect's skills, this talisman still can't be achieved overnight, it seems that I am in a hurry, and I need to try a few more times." ”

Although the first talisman made ended in failure, during the drawing process, Yan Xu clearly felt that the mana was injected into the talisman seal to form a wonderful loop.

If it weren't for his carelessness, overlapping the two strokes would cause the mana to go out of control and explode, the first time he refined the feeling of the Palm Control Talisman, the speed was already very amazing.

Yan Xu chose to use the level 1 talisman 'Treading Water Talisman', and after using this talisman, he could walk on the water for half an hour.

This kind of auxiliary sigil is much simpler than an attack or defense sigil, and even so, if an ordinary monk is learning talisman making for the first time, it will take at least dozens of times to practice before successfully channeling mana into the rune paper.

From this point of view, although Yan Xu's first talisman was unstable and caused an explosion, he had already won too many ordinary monks, and if he could be more careful, he might succeed in one fell swoop.

Yan Xu performed a cleaning technique, wiped the dust off his face, and then picked up the talisman pen again to concentrate on drawing.

This time, Yan Xu was more careful, especially when drawing two closely adjacent runes, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

After sketching the last stroke, Yan Xu let out a long breath and put down the talisman pen to carefully examine the newly drawn 'treading talisman'.

Yan Xu grabbed the talisman seal between his fingers, chanted words in his mouth, and then threw them into the air.

I saw a faint light flashing in the air, and then it fell to the ground like an ordinary piece of paper, with no other effect.

Yan Xu shook his head, and the second talisman failed again.

Picking up the waste rune paper on the ground, Yan Xu found the problem, although the rune line on the rune seal was completely drawn this time, because he paid too much attention to the line, the injection of mana was not enough, resulting in insufficient efficiency and could not play a role.

Talisman making not only requires meticulous control of the rune pen in the hand to outline the rune line, but also in this process, it is necessary to evenly inject mana into the rune paper, which is not only meticulous but also stable, and has very high requirements for mana control.

Finding the key to solving the problem, Yan Xu settled down for a while, and then continued to refine for the third time.

This time, Yan Xu changed to a level 1 earth sigil 'flat land talisman', which is an auxiliary sigil seal, which can be used to level the ground after use, and is mainly used in the construction of civil engineering.

The reason why it was changed to the earth system rune seal is mainly because Yan Xu's exercise method is an earth-based exercise, which is closer in attributes, and the success rate should be more guaranteed than that of the water system rune seal.

After trying this a few more times, Yan Xu finally succeeded in refining the first level 1 talisman 'Flat Earth Talisman'.

There were less than ten attempts in total, and a person who had never practiced talisman making could successfully refine a level 1 talisman seal, and if it was rumored, others would definitely not believe it.

It is not impossible for a novice to be able to refine a talisman seal within ten times, but this kind of talisman making genius is rare in a hundred years, and under normal circumstances, it takes hundreds of times to succeed.

Moreover, even if the first time the talisman is successful, it still takes hundreds or thousands of exercises to master the talisman making skills steadily, and if you change the type of talisman, you have to try slowly to ensure the success rate.

Yan Xu, who has the success rate of various talismans, has no of the above troubles at all, and after successfully refining the first one, he tried five or six times in a row, and successfully refined three flat talismans, with a success rate of as high as fifty percent.

The cost of cultivating a junior talisman in an ordinary sect is no less than that of cultivating a monk in the foundation building period, and the success rate is far less than that of Yan Xu, so there are not many sects that can really make talismans as their main business, and most of the monks are convenient to buy talismans directly.

After drawing several flat talismans in a row, and after reaching a stable success rate, Yan Xu planned to change to a more complex talisman to practice, only to find that all the rune paper materials on the table had been used up.

After the talisman pavilion was built, each room had some basic materials prepared by itself, and more materials needed for high-level talisman seals needed to wait until Caidie and Deng Yu came back from Nan'anfang City.

However, as soon as he mastered the talisman making technique, Yan Xu had not yet completed his addiction, so he simply collected all the rune paper and rune ink in the remaining dozen or so rooms, and practiced a few more times while he had just comprehended the feeling.

Although refining low-level auxiliary talismans could not consume much mana, after drawing more than twenty times in a row, Yan Xu still felt that his mana was insufficient, so he stopped to breathe and recover.

"Huh? I feel that the mana in my body is a little thicker, can it be that the talisman can also have a cultivation effect? Yan Xu felt the changes in his body, and his face was uncertain.

After running the exercises again, Yan Xu confirmed that it was correct, and in the process of continuously consuming mana to refine the talisman seal, it could indeed have a cultivation effect, and the mana control was more accurate.

This kind of subtle mastery of mana is also helpful for casting various spells, and Yan Xu was overjoyed after figuring out the situation.

Originally, he just wanted to learn talisman making to create a source of income for the sect, as well as always have some talisman seals to improve the strength of the sect's disciples, Yan Xu was actually a little worried that it would delay the cultivation time, but now it seems that not only will it not delay the cultivation but it will also be beneficial, so he is naturally very happy, and the interest in talisman making is even higher.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Yan Xu refined nearly two hundred times overnight, and used up all the rune papers he found, before he put down the rune pen in his hand unsatisfied.

After two hundred exercises, Yan Xu successfully refined a total of eighty or ninety Level 1 talisman seals, all of which were auxiliary talismans, such as 'Flat Land Talismans', 'Cleaning Talismans', 'Warmth Talismans', and so on.

During this period, Yan Xu also tried to refine the 'Fire Bullet Talisman', but this kind of offensive talisman requires special rune paper and fire attribute demon beast blood to make rune ink, and the success rate and power can be guaranteed.

In addition, the 'Fire Bullet Talisman' and other auxiliary sigils are all level 1 sigils, but the more powerful they are, the more mana needs to be infused, and the mana is exhausted after a few failures.

Yan Xu decided to wait for a batch of talisman materials to be purchased from Nan'anfang City, and then refine the offensive and defensive talismans, and simply refined all the talismans at hand into auxiliary talismans, with a success rate of nearly fifty percent, and the efficiency was quite amazing.

"Ding! After completing the side quest 'Junior Craftsman', do you want to claim the reward now? ”

There was a prompt sound from the exchange system in his mind, Yan Xu didn't expect to successfully refine dozens of level 1 rune seals, and he actually completed the side quest, originally thought that he needed to refine level 2 rune seals to complete it.

Keep in mind that the 'Beginner Craftsman' bonus increases the success rate of a primary production skill by 25%.

If Yan Xu uses it now, the success rate of making a level 1 talisman seal will immediately increase to more than seventy percent, and if he practices diligently in the future, I am afraid that he can really achieve a 100% success rate.

Yan Xu didn't think about it anymore, and said without hesitation: "Use it now!" ”

Several purple rays of light lit up behind Yan Xu, and then dissipated, as if they had melted into his body.

Yan Xu felt that if he refined the level 1 rune seal now, the speed would be faster and the success rate would be higher, but unfortunately, all the rune paper materials were used up, and he could not verify it immediately.

With a little regret, Yan Xu returned to his room, after a night of refining talisman seals, his spirit was highly concentrated, and after the excitement passed, he felt tired, and simply fell into bed and slept beautifully.

Two days later, Yan Xu, Ziyun and other disciples sent Caidie and Deng Yu to the gate of the mountain.

Yan Xu said to the two: "The senior brother who should be said has already said it, if you encounter a situation on the road, you have to act at the opportunity." ”

"Yes! We're leaving, don't worry, brother! Caidie replied, and then turned around with Deng Yu and walked down the mountain.

Seeing the two of them walk away, Yan Xu said to the three disciples around him: "You should hurry up and practice, and after you have learned something, you will also go down the mountain to do errands, and even travel all over the world." ”

There was no obvious change on Ziyun's face, but Donglai and Qian Hao were full of excitement, and they couldn't wait to go down the mountain immediately.

Looking at Ziyun and Donglai's two disciples, Yan Xu recalled the original scene when Humen Town accepted them as disciples.

Ziyun and Donglai were originally from the Xiuzhen family of Qingyang City, and Qingyang City was only a few hundred miles away from Chen Liucheng, the capital of Chen State, and there were many monks who came and went, which was quite prosperous.

Qingyang and Chen Liu are more than 3,000 miles away from the boundary of Nan'an, and they don't know how much hardship the Ziyun sisters and brothers suffered on the road to get here.

Dingzhou City is the closest Xiuzhen city to Nan'an, located in the southeast of more than 800 miles, although the degree of prosperity is not as good as Chenliu and other big cities, but it is far from Nan'an This kind of fang city can be compared.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu thought to himself: "In the future, Tianhao Sect will be strong, and the industry will also be able to go to these big cities, and now we will first manage the forces in Nan'an." ”

At present, the Tianhao Sect has just passed the crisis of scattered cultivation and Qihai, and it is rare to enter a stage of stable development, so it needs to seize the time to develop its power.

Qin Zhi of the Imperial Beast Sect is only an inner disciple, but it is not clear how much power the uncle is a deacon elder has in the door, although it is unlikely that the two factions will fight, but it is very likely that a few more masters will be sent over.

In addition, the killing of Bai Yu, the young head of the Flower Washing Sect, is also a hidden danger, if the other party finds out the head of the Tianhao Sect, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as sending a few masters over at that time.

Now these three disciples in the door, Ziyun and Donglai have outstanding qualifications and unlimited potential in the future. Although Qian Haolinggen is almost as good as growing up in Tianhao Sect since he was a child, his loyalty is as undoubted.

"Although these three disciples have their own advantages, after all, the Tianhao Sect is still not prosperous enough, so we have to find an opportunity to find more talents to come back." Yan Xu looked at the few disciples around him and thought to himself.
