Back in the cultivation retreat room, Ding Zhengyi took a futon tray and sat on the edge of the bamboo couch, looked at the two booklets and a group of spiritual objects on the couch and thought for a while, before opening the "Introduction to Ding's Talisman Making" with six elegant characters on the cover.

There are only dozens of pages in this book, Ding Zhengyi took a cursory look at it, and there is a general introduction to the materials required to draw the rune seal, as well as the method of blending rune ink, the method of refining rune paper, and the classification of the level of spirit runes.

Finally, the detailed drawing steps and precautions of the five runes are recorded, which are the Lingyu Talisman, the Light Body Talisman, the Talisman, the Fireball Talisman, and the Ice Arrow Talisman, which are also several spells commonly used by monks in the Qi training period.

Whether it is the description of concocting rune ink, refining rune paper or drawing spirit runes, there are many dense annotations between the lines of the page, and it is obvious that it is not a person's handwriting, which should be the experience and perception left by the monks of the family for generations.

The relevant introduction to the basic talisman in the book, both in breadth and depth, is much richer than that taught in ethnography, after all, the short study in ethnology is just to test whether the children of the family have the talent of talismans, and this talisman classic can really show part of the family's thousand-year-old heritage.

Then Ding Zhengyi turned to the title page, ready to study carefully, and found that there was a summary of the drawing of the talisman seal written on the title page, and Ding Zhengyi vaguely remembered that he was a rare talisman master in the history of the family.

Talisman making is the process of using the monk's vitality to guide the appropriate amount of heaven and earth aura to draw a spell imprint on a suitable bearing body, in which the rune pen and rune ink are the carriers of the monk's vitality, and the rune paper is a spell imprint body that mixes the monk's vitality and the aura of heaven and earth.

This description of the symbols is concise, but also simple and to the point. There is no mention of how the monk should control the Yuan Qi, how to use the Yuan Qi to guide the Heaven and Earth Aura, and how to inject the Yuan Qi and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the mana imprint in an even and orderly manner.

It is not difficult to use the vitality to guide the aura and inject the rune paper, and if you can't understand it, even if you work hard, there will be no results, and the perception in it cannot be described at all, which is also the reason why there are relatively few monks who have the talent of talisman making.

Of course, having talent only shows the potential of having talismans, and the success rate of initial talismans will also be miserable. It has been more than a year since Ding Zhengyi came into contact with the talisman system, and from two or three successes in the hundred times when he started practicing to a success rate that can reach one level, it consumes a lot of his cultivation resources and cultivation time, fortunately, these resources are provided for free in the clan science, otherwise this is not something that ordinary monks who have no support can easily bear.

Ding Zhengyi stared at this paragraph on the title page and pondered for a long time, and finally sighed lightly, to improve the success rate of talisman making, it is necessary to continue a lot of practice, it seems that the road of talisman making in the future is really a long way to go.

Without thinking about it anymore, Ding Zhengyi continued to read the later records about talisman materials, and in addition to the talisman pen, the talisman ink and talisman paper were necessary.

As a kind of magic weapon, the talisman pen is also divided into three grades: low, medium and high, and the level of the grade is not only related to the amount of the monk's transmission of vitality, but also related to the quality of the effect of stabilizing the fluctuation of vitality, which plays a vital role in the success rate of talisman making. Even low-level rune pens have at least two mana imprints, one of which is to strengthen the conduction of vital energy, and the other is to maintain the stable output of vital energy.

The rune pen is generally made of spirit wood or spirit bamboo plus a handful of spiritual power hair on the demon beast, and the grade of spirit wood and spirit bamboo and spiritual power hair determines the highest grade that the rune pen can reach. For example, with some materials that can be found in the family, the rune pen refined from the low-level snow-spotted bamboo and the green armor oxtail hair, the grade can only reach the low level at most, even if the refiner's level is high, he can only barely refine two mana marks in this rune.

Seeing this, Ding Zhengyi stretched out his hand to take the talisman pen given by the elders of the family, and took a closer look, although he couldn't figure out what material this talisman pen was made of, but from the perspective of spiritual power fluctuations, the grade was not low, and he sensed that there were two conductive and one stable mana imprints refined in the talisman, which was a fine product among low-level talismans, and was worth dozens of low-grade spirit stones.

This is a step stronger than the talisman pen used to practice in the clan science, and it should help the success rate of talisman making. Ding Zhengyi thought happily while putting down the talisman pen in his hand, took the book and continued to look down, because the talisman pen involves refining, this talisman primer in addition to the general introduction, there is no specific refining method, the talisman pen is followed by the introduction of the rune ink.

Fu Mo is different, the book not only has a detailed introduction but also records the recipe for concoction. Briefly speaking, the rune ink is made by taking the blood of the demon beast and adding two common spirit grass juices, the function of the spirit grass juice is to maintain the activity and fluidity of the demon beast blood, and to avoid the decay and coagulation of the rune ink when stored for a long time.

The quality of the rune ink is determined by the quality of the demon beast's blood, and the demon beast is divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine small realms of the three major realms of human qi training, foundation building, and knotting.

The rune ink used to draw the rune seal during the Qi training period is generally made with the blood of demon beasts below the fourth level, and these low-level demon beasts are kept in captivity by various sects, and the difficulty of taking blood is low, so the value is not high.

Even if there are not many demon beasts above the fourth level in the sect, they will not easily take blood for other purposes, after all, this has a certain damage to the cultivation of demon beasts, and the blood of high-level demon beasts that occasionally appears in the market is often obtained by hunting demon beasts in the wilderness.

The higher the grade of the demon beast blood, the more rune ink can be integrated into the monk's vitality, and the amount of vitality that can be integrated into the two types of demon beast blood of the first-level demon beast and the second-level demon beast is several times different.

Ding Zhengyi casually opened the small box where the rune ink was stored on the bamboo couch, and after induction, he determined that these spirit inks were made of the blood of first-class demon beasts, this kind of rune ink is very common in the market, about five times a box of spirit stones.

Turning over the rune ink part, the next step is the refining of rune paper, in general, rune paper is used to use a perennial spirit plant called rune vine to break the pulp, after drying, pressing, the process of breaking the pulp is the most test of the experience and level of the rune paper refiner, the same spirit vine because of the difference in the refiner's technique, the quality of the finished rune paper will also fluctuate greatly.

The craftsmanship of the refiner can only play a role in the quality of the rune paper of the same level, and the year of the rune is the key to determining the quality of the rune paper.

As a perennial spiritual value, the growth environment of the rune vine does not have too high requirements for the concentration of spiritual energy, even in the lower grade spiritual veins can grow smoothly for more than ten years, the more strong the spiritual energy in the place to grow for a longer period of time, in the upper grade spiritual veins can even grow to hundreds of years.

The higher the year, the thicker and more condensed the spiritual power contained in the rune vine, the higher the quality of the refined rune paper will naturally be, and the two kinds of rune paper refined by the rune vine that has grown for more than ten years have a difference of several times in the limit of carrying the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Ding Zhengyi glanced at several stacks of hundreds of rune papers on the bamboo couch, took one stack, and sensed that the spiritual power content in them was obviously insufficient, it should be refined from the rune vines with a lower age in the family's spiritual veins, and this kind of rune paper was worth only ten low-grade spirit stones in a stack of a hundred pieces.

Whether it is rune ink or rune paper, all spiritual objects will emit different spiritual pressures under the monk's divine sense, and the monk can easily distinguish the quality of spiritual objects, and high-quality rune ink and rune paper will definitely not be able to draw high-quality rune seals, and there is only a certain chance of drawing high-quality rune seals with high-quality rune ink and rune paper.

Spirit runes can be divided into three levels: low, medium and high according to the amount of aura they contain, corresponding to the magic power of the junior and junior monks who practice qi.

The monk talisman is made using the rune ink prepared by the blood of the first-class demon beast and the rune paper refined by the spirit vine for three or five years, and the spirit rune successfully made is the most powerful, that is, the full force of the monk in the early stage of qi training, and the value is not high.

By analogy, the rune ink rune paper made from the blood of second- and third-level demon beasts and runes ranging from decades to the rune was drawn with it, and the maximum power of the spirit rune drawn from it corresponded to the full force of the mid-to-late stage of Qi cultivation.

However, when the monk draws the spirit rune, the higher the quality of the rune ink rune paper, the more difficult it is to draw, and the higher the probability of failure, which is not only related to the monk's talent and skills, but also the limitations of the monk's cultivation and talisman making environment.

The talent of talisman making is innate, there is no way to describe, the skill can only rely on diligent practice, the spirit rune drawn with low-quality rune ink and rune paper, to reach the power of the monk's full blow in the early stage of qi training, can barely be called a talisman maker, although Ding Zhengyi can now draw the fireball talisman, but the injection of aura is still rusty, far from the standard of the talisman maker.

The higher the monk's cultivation, the more pure and vigorous the vitality he can master, and when drawing the rune seal, he can also guide more heaven and earth aura to inject into the spell mark on the rune paper, so that the amount of aura contained in the rune seal is more and more powerful. And the richer the aura of heaven and earth, the easier it is for the monk to guide the aura when drawing the talisman, and the higher the chance of success in talisman making.

Of course, the improvement of the level of the talisman master depends more on his own perception, and the cultivation and external environment can only play an auxiliary role, just like the low-level talisman master can only try to draw the intermediate talisman with a higher level of rune ink and rune paper when the success rate of low-level talisman drawing reaches more than five layers, otherwise it can only be worth the loss.

A monk in the late stage of Qi cultivation with a superb level of talisman making, at the spiritual eye of the lower grade spiritual vein, when using the rune ink and rune paper that is equivalent to the fourth-level demon beast blood cultivated by the Zhuji monk and the hundred-year-old rune vine, there is a small chance that he can make the best spirit rune, and the power can even barely reach the casual blow of the Zhuji monk, which is also the limit that the Qi cultivation monk can achieve in talismans, but this kind of rune seal rarely appears in the Fang Market.

Seeing this, "Introduction to Ding's Talisman Making" has been read more than halfway, and there are not many professors in the knowledge of talisman about talismans, and it is only at this time that Ding Zhengyi has a comprehensive understanding of talisman making.

The second half of the book is recorded in the detailed drawing method of the five runes, and the drawing of the fireball rune Ding Zhengyi has a lot of experience, although there are more empirical annotations in it, and it will also be inspiring, but it is not too helpful to improve the rune rate, and the improvement of the talisman skill is only the work of size.

Only by practicing diligently can we continuously improve the perception of talisman making, which is the key to improving the success rate of talisman making, and in the process of practice, we can continuously improve the control of vitality, skillfully guide the appropriate amount of spiritual energy into the rune paper, so as to maximize the power of the spirit rune of the same level, so as to advance to become a talisman maker.

Ding Zhengyi put down the book in his hand while thinking, estimating that it was not too early, the first task at the moment was to refine the talisman given by the elders first, and then find the answer when there was a problem in the process of practicing talisman making, and the effect was much stronger than rote memorization.
