Chapter 51: Talisman Reverie
Taking advantage of this good mood, Ding Zhengyi stretched his waist, took a deep breath of the air containing the fragrance of plants and trees, and his spirit was lifted again, and then he buried his head and continued to think.
In the past six months, Ding Zhengyi's formation cultivation has made obvious progress, I don't know if he is naturally talented, or the effect of that formation law book is extraordinary, or his powerful divine soul has also played a key role.
Through continuous practice, since two months ago, he has arranged the Concealment Array and the Psychedelic Array, just like building a Gathering Spirit Array, it is simply hand-to-hand, without any jerky feeling.
This has almost reached the extreme of the basic formation, and there is not much room for improvement.
So Ding Zhengyi asked his grandfather to ask the third uncle for help to see if he could find a deeper formation book in the Fang Market, but unfortunately there was still no news.
This made Ding Zhengyi fall into a situation where he had no formation to practice, and in desperation, Ding Zhengyi could only follow the composite formation theory introduced in the family classics, groping by himself, trying to fuse the two basic formations.
Without a detailed formation diagram and specific layout precautions, this kind of blind attempt will basically not have the possibility of success.
Ding Zhengyi just wanted to improve the level of the formation with this, and he didn't have any expectations for the success of the arrangement, so he maintained a non-impatient mentality.
To Ding Zhengyi's surprise, during a normal exercise a few days ago, he accidentally completed the arrangement of the Gathering Spirit Concealment Array and successfully stimulated it.
This sudden harvest surprised Ding Zhengyi, and he had a sense of brightness.
Even after that time, there was no new progress in the fusion of the formation, but he could still vaguely feel that the leap in the level of the formation was just around the corner.
Compared with the progress of the formation, Ding Zhengyi's body forging cultivation can be described as tepid, since he started forging his body, he has realized that the requirements for resources for body refining are getting higher and higher.
A few years ago, he had the assistance of Cui Yuanzao, which could be regarded as smooth sailing, and he refined the skin and flesh in a good way.
But when Ding Zhengyi's strength reached the Three Cows, the progress of refining his body gradually slowed down, and although Cui Yuanzao had eaten a lot in the past two years, he basically didn't feel any effect.
Fortunately, Ding Zhengyi's purpose in cultivating the body forging technique is very clear, that is, to improve the efficiency of the spiritual network dredging, and now he has decided to suspend the dredging of the spiritual network, so the requirements for the progress of the body forging are not very high.
However, the benefits brought by refining the body were obviously beyond Ding Zhengyi's expectations, in addition to speeding up the dredging of the spiritual network, as well as the increase in strength and the strengthening of the body's defense, the small success of the breathing technique was this unexpected joy.
After more than a year of practice, now when Ding Zhengyi casts the Breathing Technique, the powerful physical body completely hides the monk's unique spiritual pressure, and the Qi cultivator or the demon beast below the third level cannot detect it at all.
Although it is still far from being able to adjust the size of the spiritual pressure at will, reveal any cultivation, and conceal the Dacheng Breath Gathering Technique from a higher level of monks, the Xiao Cheng of the Breath Gathering Technique can at least allow him to draw the Breath Gathering Talisman, which is also a big result.
When it comes to the breath charm, I think of practicing drawing the talisman, and the expression on Ding Zhengyi's face was a little unnatural in an instant, and the mood that seemed happy just now disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
In the practice of making talismans, he spent more energy, second only to meditating on qi and dredging spiritual channels.
Countless exercises and perceptions have made Ding Zhengyi's talisman level rise steadily, and finally through the blessing of the transformation of the divine soul, he has broken through the threshold of intermediate talisman makers in one fell swoop.
The success of the Intermediate Fireball Talisman after only a few days of practice made Ding Zhengyi a little unimpressed by the difficulty of drawing the Intermediate Talisman.
But the facts made him recognize the current situation, and through more than half a year of practice, the success rate of his intermediate fireball talisman could only reach about 20%.
What bothered Ding Zhengyi the most was that in the past month, he could clearly feel that the level of talisman making had stagnated.
This is more uncomfortable for Ding Zhengyi than the slow dredging of the spiritual network, talisman making is the most important means for him to obtain resources, and even has a very important significance for the safety of himself and his family.
As the rocking chair swayed, Ding Zhengyi rhythmically tapped the armrest, frowning and thinking about how to break the current deadlock.
According to the practice of the cultivation realm, by focusing on the practice of a certain kind of rune seal, after its rune formation rate reaches 50%, whether it is trying to draw a more advanced rune seal, or drawing other rune seals of the same level with points and surfaces, it will be a matter of course.
This method avoids the drawbacks of distracting attention on different talismans due to insufficient level of talisman making, which is not only a waste of time, but also consumes a lot of talisman raw materials.
When practicing the primary talisman seal, Ding Zhengyi also followed this idea and practiced the success rate of the primary fireball talisman to more than fifty percent.
Under such conditions, he was not only able to draw other talismans such as primary talismans and light talismans, but also successfully ranked among the intermediate talismans.
So far, Ding Zhengyi has continued this method, focusing only on the drawing of intermediate fireball talismans.
This also made him have more than four hundred intermediate fireball talismans in his storage bag, bringing the total number to more than six hundred.
In the past six months, Ding Zhengyi has exchanged 3,000 intermediate talisman raw materials through his grandfather, spending a total of nearly 2,000 contribution points.
Fortunately, he practiced strictly according to the ratio of drawing three low-level spirit runes and then drawing an intermediate spirit rune, otherwise with Ding Zhengyi's existing contribution points, it would really not be enough to consume.
The more than 3,000 low-level fireball talismans handed over to the family as a result actually made the family's shop in Xuannan City a bit famous, which could be regarded as an unexpected gain.
Retracting some of his wandering thoughts, Ding Zhengyi shook his head, sighed lightly, and continued to think about what to do in order to steadily improve the level of talisman making.
Although Ding Zhengyi also understands that the improvement of the level of talisman making is a gradual process.
Without a few years, or even decades of continuous practice and perception to accumulate, it is difficult to reach the realm of perfection in drawing intermediate runes.
During this practice, it is normal for the level of the glyph to pause for several months.
Even if Ding Zhengyi's divine soul is now strong and has reached the level of the late stage of Qi cultivation, even a true late stage Qi cultivation cultivator cannot change this status quo.
Sometimes he also thinks that if he just does the step-by-step exercises, why bother himself.
But there is a voice in his heart that keeps telling Ding Zhengyi that it may not be wrong to stick to the rules, but if you want to achieve something, you must find another way.
For him, time is not only related to the speed of his cultivation progress, but also related to the growth of the family's potential strength, which has a different meaning.
At this moment, Ding Zhengyi suddenly thought that the time it took him to step into the intermediate talisman master was extremely short, which was very different from that of a normal monk.
Now that he has broken common sense, there must be other ways to speed up the progress of the talisman level.
It's just that where to start, this still makes him at a loss.
Where are his advantages and where should he break through, Ding Zhengyi pondered and analyzed carefully.
He can draw the intermediate fireball sigil very quickly, and it will probably not be so difficult to draw other sigils as well.
This is undoubtedly a huge advantage compared to the fact that it takes a year and a half for a normal monk to master a new talisman due to the lack of talisman making skills.
Then you should be able to try the drawing of other different sigils, and verify each other in the process, after all, it can attack jade with the stone of the mountain, and maybe it will have a miraculous effect.
Although this is inconsistent with the practice of breaking the surface with points in the cultivation realm, and it is a bit of a sword going sideways, according to Ding Zhengyi's understanding, the drawing of various talismans has its own characteristics, which should be able to touch the analogy, which has brought him a lot of inspiration and kept the level of talisman making growing rapidly.
In addition, since Ding Zhengyi stepped into the intermediate talisman master, more than half a year has passed, and the secrecy of the intermediate fireball talisman is almost over.
With the contribution points exchanged for the Intermediate Fireball Talisman, it can support him to increase the frequency of drawing Intermediate Talisman Seals, doubling the amount of practice every day, presumably this can also make his talisman level improve by leaps and bounds.
After a short period of thought, although Ding Zhengyi did not find a direct solution to the problem, it gave him a general direction for future efforts.
At this time, the sadness on Ding Zhengyi's face decreased a little, and the fingers that kept tapping on the armrests of the rocking chair also stopped, and he squinted at the rising sun.
The orange-red sunlight shone on Ding Zhengyi's body, covering him with a faint layer of light.
Ding Zhengyi seemed to be able to feel that vigorous power, and a passion gradually appeared on his face.
Ding Zhengyi also knows the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, but time is running out.
Only by growing up as soon as possible can we live up to the expectations of the patriarch and show the ambitions in our hearts and achieve what we want.
The two troubles that had been haunting Ding Zhengyi's heart for a long time were initially resolved, which made him mentally feel as if he had taken a panacea, and he was very comfortable.
