At the same time, the runes written by Shen Yun made rapid progress. After a month, he finished writing the cinnabar ink and two knife rune paper of the five sea bowls. Finally, I was able to keep writing a rune with one stroke.

According to what is written in the book, he can try to draw symbols.

In a book of "Illustrated Talismans" marked with the word "basic", Shen Yun learned that talismans have grades, that is, upper, middle, and lower.

Among them, the higher the quality of the runes, the more complex the runes are, and the more they need to be guided by the strong true qi.

With Shen Yun's current ability, he can only write one rune in one stroke, and he can barely try to draw a rune.

There are as many as ten kinds of inferior talismans illustrated in the book, and the simplest one is the armor amulet.

As the name suggests. The so-called armor amulet is to hit the body, and in the duration of the talisman, it is equivalent to wearing a strong armor amulet.

And the armor amulet also has a grade - the level of the talisman limits the upper limit of the grade of the talisman. A low-grade talisman like it can only reach the middle grade at the highest level.

On the other hand, the higher the level, not only will the effect last longer, but also the greater the coverage of the armor.

For example, the low-grade armor amulet can last for thirty breaths, and the armor formed can only protect the chest and back of a three-foot child. When used on adults, it can only be used as a helmet or heart goggles.

Of course, it can be used superimposed. For example, if an adult uses seven to ten pieces at the same time, it is like wearing a layer of armor from head to toe within 30 breaths, and if two pieces are put on the chest at the same time, it is equivalent to using two layers of heart glasses.

The drawing method of the lower-grade Jianjia amulet is the same as that of the medium-grade Jianjia amulet, and the difference lies in the person who draws the talisman. One is the technique of drawing symbols, and the other is the amount of true qi.

With Shen Yun's current ability, if he can draw a low-grade armor talisman, it can be called a success. As for the mid-grade ...... Hehe, he can't count either of the above.

Shen Yun first cut more than a dozen pieces of rune paper into small pieces of three inches square.

Then start experimenting with formal drawing.

The rune of the armor amulet is the word "A". Runes are not the same thing as ordinary words. The word "A" in the rune is much simpler, that is, one horizontal and one vertically crossed, and then framed with a large "mouth" on the outside. It is very similar to the commonly used word "Tian". The difference is that neither this horizontal nor vertical can be connected to the big "mouth" outside.

Well, that's where the difficulty of drawing this talisman lies—the strokes are intermittent, but the power of the pen and the true qi cannot be broken.

Because he had already practiced the character "A" perfectly, Shen Yun now wrote it in one go.

The so-called drawing of runes actually includes two steps: one is to write runes, and the other is to fold runes.

Once you have written the runes, fold the rune paper in the style of the diagram on the book before the handwriting is dry.

Once the written runes leave the True Qi, they will soon dry up. Therefore, folding symbols is also a test.

Shen Yun usually tinkered with medicinal materials, dispensed medicines, and in the past few years, his hands have long been practiced very flexibly.

In addition, he had been prepared for a long time, and he usually practiced repeatedly with scrapped rune paper.

And the folding method of the armor amulet itself is the simplest - four corners, first the upper left corner, then the upper right corner, fold in two and two, and fold it into a triangle.

As soon as he finished writing the runes, he put down his pen and folded the rune paper into a triangle.

Very good. The character "A" in the middle of the triangle is bright red and bright, shining with a luster that can only be found in fine iron.

Fu, Cheng!

This is an inferior armor talisman. It is also the first talisman drawn by Shen Yun himself.

He held it in his hand and played with it repeatedly, and he couldn't put it down.

There are two if there is one. The successful beginning greatly increased Shen Yun's confidence. He believed that in time, he would be able to draw a higher-grade talisman.

Before starting to write again, Shen Yun closed his eyes, reviewed and summarized the process of drawing the talisman, and gained a lot of experience: first, be well prepared. Not only are the rune paper and cinnabar ink well prepared, but the runes and folding techniques have been repeatedly practiced. This is the key to success, and secondly, to keep your mind calm from start to finish. This is also extremely important.

Of course, there are also some deficiencies that need to be improved. For example, when he practiced runes before, he didn't think that now that he had become a rune, when he compared it with the illustrations in the book, he immediately saw that the runes were not smooth enough and the strokes were thinner.

The reason for this is that in addition to the lack of pen power and true qi, it is still not skilled enough.

In addition, the seemingly simple folding is actually very particular.

On the premise that his true qi could not be substantially improved immediately, he had to practice more.

However, the True Qi in his body limited the intensity of his practice. Normally, he could write down up to ten runes at a time.

Drawing runes is more expensive than practicing writing runes. He tried to draw the fourth armor amulet, and the true qi in his body couldn't keep up. Distracted, the pen paused slightly, and the cinnabar ink at the end of the pen immediately condensed into a small red bump. The rune that was still the last stroke was immediately eclipsed.

Uh, this draw failed.

This rune paper painting is useless. But Shen Yun was reluctant to throw it away. Hehe, make the best use of things, it can also be used to practice writing runes and folding symbols.

When the true qi is exhausted, it usually meditates for an hour or two, and it will slowly recover, and if you practice the mind at this time, the speed of recovery can be greatly increased. After practicing the mental method once, the true qi can be restored to forty percent. It took only more than half an hour to recount the mind method three times, and the true qi in the body had already recovered to the fullest.

What made Shen Yun even more happy was that he used such a method to restore his true qi, once or twice, and he didn't feel anything. However, after more than three months, he could feel that the true qi in his body had increased slightly!

He thought he had found another way to enhance his true qi - there was another method, and it was also a method commonly used by martial artists, that is, practicing martial arts. Through long-term, high-intensity martial arts, you can also enhance your true qi.

Well, after pondering it carefully, Shen Yun felt that the two methods were actually called different paths to the same end, and their essence was to deplete the true qi in order to promote the recovery of the true qi.

And with a two-pronged approach, the effect is doubled!

Hehe, true qi is the same as the strength of a person, the more you use it, the more you practice, the stronger it becomes.

Therefore, when drawing talismans, the speed of true qi consumption has increased significantly, and for Shen Yun, it is a great joy. Because it also means that he can practice the mind more effectively. In this way, it is equivalent to constantly enhancing the true qi.

In the blink of an eye, there are only two days left on the 14th of the double moon.

Shen Yun packed up a little, set off early in the morning again, and headed for Shiqiaofang City.

However, unlike last time, this time, he brought a treasure bag with him, as well as a general silver ticket that had been exchanged for 10,000 taels in advance - well, learning talismans is no less than burning money. His rune skills have only improved a little, however, the speed at which he consumes rune paper has increased by somersaults. At his current consumption rate, the three-and-a-half-knife rune paper could only barely be used for ten days.
