190 Talisman
A little earlier, in a Taoist temple thousands of miles away, the place where the lower courtyard of West Kunlun was located.
Huang Changzheng looked at a middle-aged Taoist priest opposite with a smile - the host of the Taoist temple here is also the person in charge of the Kunlun Lower Court. Like Huang Chang, he is a disciple of the true transmission of West Kunlun and a monk in the late stage of Qi refining.
At this time, the monk was playing with a small jade talisman in his hand, about the size of a mahjong tile, but it was densely layered, and it was faintly visible that complex charms were overlapping and overlapping. If you turn it sideways and look at the light closely, you can see that those talismans and spells are layered on top of each other, neatly arranged.
Look closely, it turns out that the whole jade rune is made of dozens of layers of very thin jade pieces superimposed one by one, each piece of jade is engraved with runes on both sides, reserved bayonet tenon, assembled into a whole, the end is extremely exquisite.
"Jade is strong, but brittle and fragile, using this to make a disposable amulet, the idea of the junior brother is really exquisite. However, the materials used are ordinary, and the carrying mana is also limited, so it can only withstand mid-level attacks...... Well, the control is simple, the innate qi is also acceptable, and it can also be stimulated by itself...... Senior brother, this is for low-level monks and mortal martial artists?"
This middle-aged Taoist priest is obviously also an expert, although he has not tried it himself, just by looking at the appearance and turning around it with his divine sense, he can roughly understand the usage and characteristics of this jade talisman. Deficiencies were even immediately identified:
"However, each jade talisman has to be carved with so many jade pieces to assemble, which is too cumbersome. And as long as one piece goes wrong, it can't be corresponded. It's complicated and simple...... Isn't it much easier for me Kunlun to engrave multiple layers of spells directly into a single piece of jade than to carve so many pieces of jade?"
Huang Chang laughed:
"Senior Brother Cao is really smart, and he deserves to be the leader of our Tiangong Hall. But the idea of the younger brother is not to make only one or two pieces, but to produce them in large quantities. Although the art of overprinting is convenient, it cannot be mastered by a wise person in Kunlun. And the processing of multiple jade pieces can be done even by mortal craftsmen. Even if there are more scraps, I am not afraid, anyway, I only use low-grade spirit jade, and I don't spend much on materials. ”
This Cao Yin Cao Taoist didn't know Huang Chang before, but there weren't many disciples of the West Kunlun True Transmission in total, and although everyone had never met, at least they were all famous. Moreover, the true disciples are all elites, and most of them have outstanding specialties in a certain aspect. This Taoist Cao is best at the art of refining, and after talking to Huang Chang, he immediately became a confidant, and the two exchanged their own refining experience, and they have been chatting all day, but they are still full of interest.
"Haha, it turns out that the junior brother is planning to make money with it, which is quite suitable...... Xianmen Dao soldiers, Jianghu rangers and demon hunters can all be used. Bringing a critical moment can save your life...... They must be willing to pay for it. ”
“...... If it takes effect once and it is broken, buying three or five at a time means three or five more lives in a low-level battle. The key is that this is a consumable, and I will definitely want to buy it after using it. Repeat customers will only increase, and business will continue to ...... As long as you raise a group of mortal jade craftsmen, you can share the most tedious production content, and I only need to set up talismans and cast spells, which is indeed much easier. ”
Extrapolating to this, Senior Brother Cao gave Huang Chang a thumbs up:
"No wonder the last time I went back to the sect, I heard that although the new Senior Brother Huang of this class is young, he is a bit of a golden talent. It has only been ten years since he started, but his net worth is much heavier than that of many elders who have accumulated for a hundred years. I still don't accept you in terms of technology, but this ability to earn spirit stones, senior brother, I am really willing to bow down. ”
Huang Chang smiled lightly, picked up the jade talisman and threw it in his hand:
"It's a pity that no matter how you simplify it, you still can't get rid of the things of the fairy gate. You need to use mana, at least you need to be innate to drive it. I've always wanted to make it work with mortal blood, so that the range of applications for this thing can be expanded a lot, but unfortunately it never worked. ”
Cao Yin laughed first:
"Everyone else tries to get their works closer to a higher level, but my brother does the opposite...... It's really different. ”
After a pause, he said:
"However, junior brother, don't think that senior brother is profound: even if you can make a lot of money like this, it will not directly help your own strength. After all, we refine artifacts to protect and improve ourselves. Something that doesn't do much to itself...... It's okay to play casually, but if you really have to put in a lot of effort, it's not necessary. ”
Huang Chang nodded-this is the difference between the three views. The human beings in this world can cultivate immortals and evolve, and their upper limit can be said to be endless, so their main energy must be focused on improving themselves. In Huang Chang's previous life, the path of human evolution has come to an end, and no matter how much you exercise, the differences between individuals are limited, so you can only rely on trading foreign things to improve-is "rich" the strongest superpower?
Cao Yin was witty, and after saying this, he felt presumptuous, and immediately laughed at himself:
"Of course, I think that when I was obsessed with making weapons, I was often warned by the elders of the sect - 'The cultivators of my generation still focus on strengthening themselves after all. The things outside the body are just Dharma protectors, as long as they are enough. If you drag down your own cultivation because of this, you are putting the cart before the horse. I'm sure I've heard a lot of similar words, right?"
Huang Chang nodded:
"Yes, Master and several close seniors have mentioned this. ”
"But we still have to do what we should do, otherwise we won't have today's achievements?—— so what others say, even if you listen to it, it's up to you to decide. We cultivators must practice our minds even more when refining qi. Isn't it important to stick to your original intentions and not be confused by the outside world? ”
Hearing Senior Brother Cao say this, Huang Chang couldn't help but look at him and smile, and a sense of mutual understanding and closeness suddenly rose between them.
............
The two were chatting energetically, Huang Chang suddenly felt his heart move, and he immediately spread out his palm and raised it in front of him. Rows of faint red dots appeared in the palm of his hand, one of which was slowly fading.
Huang Chang's brows suddenly furrowed - about this kind of talisman jade talisman he made, there was actually an incidental function - Huang Chang added a drop of his own blood to it when he made it, and through the blood secret technique of the Blood River Sect, when the jade talisman was broken, as long as he was not too far away, he could get synchronous sensing at any time.
Senior Brother Cao Yin couldn't see that it wasn't that the level was not enough, but that the one Huang Chang gave him didn't contain this function - it was a big road product that was ready to be taken out for sale, there was no need to attach this, and he didn't have so much blood to waste. But what Huang Chang equipped for his family members is all induction versions.
