Chapter 40: Realm Ascension
The sixth stage of qi refining is a small threshold, and when a monk enters this realm, it can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of a high-level monk during the qi refining period, and a monk in this realm can master an important function, which is prohibition.
The monk's prohibition has many benefits, simply put, it is a small space of its own, which can isolate all the leakage of breath and sound, and can also block the divine sense of other monks, of course, its scope is limited, if other monks are much higher than you, your prohibition is a joke to him, but for monks of the same level or only one or two levels higher than you, it is very useful.
At this time, Su Aotian's spirit coin was finally almost spent, in order to test the effect of his prohibition, Su Aotian ran outside Yuanwu City, found a stream near the woods, arranged a prohibition, and then began to let go of the two souls and cultivate at the same time. The magic of the prohibition is that it can isolate the sound and breath and block the detection of the divine sense, but it does not isolate the heaven and earth vitality. However, cultivating in the forbidden area, due to the fluctuations of the surrounding heaven and earth vitality, if someone happens to pass by, it is easy to be recognized. Su Aotian's cultivation, due to the remoteness of the place he chose, he didn't meet the monks, but he attracted two fierce beasts, and he turned around a few times suspiciously, but he didn't find anything, and left stupidly. Su Aotian saw that the ban was really effective, and he made up his mind that in the future, he could lay down the ban in a secluded place, and practice the two souls together, so that it would not be easily discovered by others. However, with this kind of cultivation, it is extremely difficult to find a place where the dual energy of water and wood is abundant, and spirit stones are the best substitutes, and in the final analysis, it comes down to the question of how to earn spirit stones.
Originally, it was inferred that his cultivation was low and he couldn't refine high-level talismans, but now that his cultivation has been improved, and the spirit coins are almost gone, he can only try refining talismans again, and at the same time verify whether his ideas are correct. Thinking of this, Su Aotian returned to Yuanwu City, found a place to live again, took out the only three thousand spirit coins left in his pocket, and bought three pieces of rune paper and a little runic liquid.
For this trial, Su Aotian couldn't help but be a little nervous, after all, if the trial failed, he would return to a penniless and poor state, and it would be difficult to obtain cultivation resources again. To be on the safe side, he first meditated for a while, adjusted his spirit to the best state, and then waited until the dead of night to lay down the ban, and then carefully recalled the talisman before starting to make talismans.
Su Aotian first compressed the aura, he was already familiar with this step, and there was no problem at all, but he still tried it several times, and then began to compress the supernatural power. This time, he chose the "Flying Arrow Technique" on the Baicao Shenmu Duel, which is an attack-type magical power, which is to press the aura into several small arrows to attack the enemy. This step is also relatively smooth, the following into the rune liquid, the pen to draw the talisman, seeing that it is about to be completed, suddenly the aura fluctuations disordered, can not be suppressed, he hurriedly let go of the suppression, fortunately the rune on the rune pen flashed, and part of the aura was reversed, and finally the aura spread, fortunately it did not burst, it was considered to be in danger, but this rune paper was scrapped.
Although he was prepared, Su Aotian was not discouraged, but he still felt pain, and now he really couldn't afford to consume spirit coins. After stabilizing the soul, he performed a second talisman making. This time it went very smoothly and was successfully completed. Looking at this talisman with fluctuating aura, Su Aotian was very satisfied.
After being happy for a while, he thought of a new question. With his cultivation in the sixth phase of qi refining, it is not yet known how powerful this flying arrow talisman is, but it should not be higher than his own cultivation, and it should not be sold for a good price. If you want to sell it for a good price, you must increase the power of the talisman.
In the case of insufficient cultivation, the only feasible way at present is to repeatedly compress, relying on the number of divine powers to make up for the lack of power. So Su Aotian superimposed another "Flying Arrow Technique" on this talisman. This time, the operation was more difficult, but it was successful.
After a short break, Su Aotian began to superimpose the third one, and this time when he drew more than half of the talisman, he finally couldn't control it, although there was a foreshadowing backflow guidance, it still burst. Thanks to the evacuation, Wei Neng evacuated a lot, and the prohibition he laid was crumbling, but he still held on.
Su Aotian looked at the last piece of rune paper, and a wry smile appeared on his face. His own money-making plan depends on this talisman, whether it is a rolling source of money, or a poor and white, all in this last fight.
Fortunately, he was born in a poor casual cultivation, and he also went through ups and downs in the initial stage, and he had not lived a hard life, so his heart was quite free, at most, he just went back to the past, and he just started from scratch, so he quickly calmed down and began to refine this last piece of rune paper.
This time, he let go of his gains and losses, and only focused his energy on the refining process, and succeeded three times in a row, superimposing three "flying arrow techniques".
Feeling the fluctuation of the aura, Su Aotian himself felt that he could not reach the power of the eighth stage of qi refining, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to add another one.
The aura was compressed, integrated into the rune liquid, and it was all smooth, he adjusted his state, held the pen in his hand, and drew on the rune paper.
At the beginning, it was quite smooth, and when a stroke was less than a quarter, he already felt that the tip of the pen was sluggish and the operation was not smooth, so Su Aotian was unmoved and continued to refine. The further down I painted, the stronger the sense of blockade became, and when I was less than halfway through the painting, the operation of the aura was almost stagnant, fluctuating violently, and it seemed that I could not suppress it.
Su Aotian was determined to succeed or fail in this move, unmoved, his divine sense was highly condensed, and he paid all his attention to this piece of rune paper. He felt the subtle changes in the aura with his heart, and tried his best to adjust the control, and when he was about to burst and burst, he channeled the transfer in time, changed the structural framework, and tried his best to maintain the process of making talismans. With the concentration of his divine consciousness, he slowly entered the realm of forgetting both things and himself, completely forgetting that he was refining the talisman, and also ignoring the danger of the aura burst, and wholeheartedly mastering the balance in this dangerous process. Clearly, seeing the subtle changes, all the subtle changes are all in the chest, and can always transfer and evacuate the danger at the moment before it reaches the critical point, and turn the danger into a disaster. He was immersed in this wonderful state, not feeling the passage of time, nor the slightest obscure blockage, or even the movement of the rune pen, which flowed naturally in a wonderful rhythm. Suddenly, he only felt a light in his hand, and after the rune was drawn, he had already raised the pen in his hand, but his soul was still in that wonderful state, savoring the control of the miraculous skill just now, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
Looking at the talisman in front of him, the rune patterns on it loomed, and the fluctuation of the aura was also minimal, but Su Aotian clearly felt the amazing energy contained in it, this was definitely the most powerful talisman that he could refine at present, if it weren't for the blessing of the soul, putting aside the gains and losses of success or failure, and entering an extremely subtle realm, it would never be able to be successfully refined.
After the completion of the great work, Su Ao Tiancai felt extremely exhausted, this refining may not take a long time, but the consumption of the divine soul is indeed extremely large, with his current divine soul cultivation, he feels that he can't bear it.
Su Aotian immediately meditated cross-legged and began to regain his spirit. After a while, he did not quit his cultivation until he was refreshed and his soul was exhausted, and as usual, his soul grew again after it was exhausted. At this time, it was already the middle of the moon again, and before I knew it, I had been cultivating for nearly a whole day.
Su Aotian continued to cultivate until dawn, and then took the talisman out with him. After changing his appearance first, Su Aotian Shi Ran walked into a store.
The guy in the store greeted him lukewarmly, and Su Aotian said, "I have something to be put on consignment in your shop, please let me know." The guy saw what he said politely, and hesitated, afraid that he wouldn't be able to take out any valuable items, which would make the shopkeeper angry, so he asked first: "I don't know what you want to sell, can you let me take a look?" Su Aotian waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid this thing needs the shopkeeper to decide, you better report it." Seeing that he was insistent, the man couldn't refute it anymore, so he had to go to the back room.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out, and when he saw Su Aotian, his face was slightly unhappy, but he still invited him inside. After offering the spiritual tea, the man stepped back, and the shopkeeper asked, "I don't know if you have anything that needs to be consigned in our store?" As long as the items are suitable, you will be satisfied." The words were polite, but the eyes were still full of doubt.
Su Aotian didn't say much, and took out the talisman.
The shopkeeper's first sight of the talisman, at first disappointed, his face was not as I expected, took the talisman, and his mouth was ready to ridicule: "Daoyou consignment, is this the one? Huh?"
It turned out that the shopkeeper saw Su Aotian's talisman, there was neither obvious aura fluctuations, nor conspicuous runes, I thought it was an ordinary talisman, not worth a penny, and was about to ridicule him, but after starting it, I felt that although the fluctuation of the aura of this talisman was not strong, there was an indescribable mysterious feeling when the rune loomed, and at the same time, I felt a trace of danger. This talisman does not seem to be simple, and the aura fluctuations are not obvious, indicating that it is not a lack of power, but that the structure is abnormally stable, if this is the case, it proves that the power of this talisman should not be underestimated. I couldn't grasp the quality of this talisman for a while, so I sighed and took it in my hand to check it carefully.
Who knew that the more he looked at it, the more he gave him an unfathomable feeling, but his intuition thought that this talisman was extraordinary, and the shopkeeper groaned again and again before he asked: "This talisman of Daoyou seems to be inconspicuous, but the power in it seems to be good, I don't know what kind of magical power is sealed by this talisman of you, and how powerful is it?" Su Aotian didn't want to tell the truth, but said: "I got this talisman by accident, and I don't know what's inside." But the power should be worthy of a blow from the monk of the eighth stage of qi refining. The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Daoyou's words should be true, and this talisman should have this power." In this way, the talismans of the eighth phase of qi refining refined by my famous talisman master here are all priced at 200,000 spirit coins, whether the power of your talisman is equivalent or not, it is still unknown, today I hit it off with Daoist friends at first sight, and I will make it at a price of 150,000 spirit coins, what do you think?" Su Aotian often goes in and out of these shops, and he already knows the price of the talisman very well, and the price of the shopkeeper is much lower than he expected, Su Aotian weighed it in his heart and did not speak.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the shopkeeper pondered the talisman carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was an indescribable mystery, so he spoke again: "Open the door to make a living, always talk about profit." I will add 30,000 spirit coins to Daoyou and Daoyou, this price is not low, if this talisman is smashed in my hand, I will lose a lot, isn't it?" Su Aotian secretly thought that this price was about the same, so he nodded and said: "This price is also fair, according to what the shopkeeper said." The two handed over the talisman spirit coin, Su Aotian bowed his hand, and the shopkeeper said busily: "There will be such items in the future, and I hope that Daoist friends will take care of the small shop." Su Aotian nodded in agreement, but said in his heart: "I don't know what year and month it will be next time." ”
After all the hard work and exhaustion of his family wealth, he finally succeeded in refining the talisman, Su Aotian's spirit was greatly boosted, and he secretly thought that his cultivation resources in the future should not be worried, and he could concentrate on cultivation. I found a small shop, asked for two dishes, a pot of wine, treated myself, and returned to my residence happily after eating and drinking.
The days that followed were spent in talisman making and cultivation. With the increase in the number of refining, Su Aotian's skills became more and more exquisite, and he entered the state of forgetting things and self more and more, and the success rate of the eighth phase of Qi refining power talisman was basically about twenty percent, and his spirit coins had accumulated to one and a half million in more than two months. The speed at which he earned spirit coins was so fast that even he was staggered. This is still his careful behavior, and he did not sell talismans too often, otherwise there would be more spirit coins.
Seeing that there were already a lot of spirit coins in his hand, Su Aotian felt that he could exchange them for spirit stones, and on this day he walked into a shop that dealt in cultivation resources such as medicinal materials and pills, and asked if there were spirit stones for sale. As soon as these words came out, the guy who received him immediately had a strange look on his face.
After making sure that Su Aotian was not joking, the guy said to Su Aotian: "Daoyou must be an ascetic who doesn't care about the world. Generally speaking, although spirit stones can be bought and sold at a price, they are only used as spirit coins when buying some precious materials. No one will exchange spirit stones for spirit coins, and this idea of Daoyou may be in vain. When Su Aotian heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
Returning to his residence unhappy, he thought that he had spent so much effort and energy, but he couldn't exchange it for spirit stones, and his previous efforts were all in vain. After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly occurred to me that since the spirit coins can't be exchanged for spirit stones, then the talisman can always be used, right?
Thinking of this, Su Aotian went out again and went to buy the best rune liquid and rune paper, and also bought the blood of the fire attribute fourth-level fierce beast "Flame Lion", and some thousand-year-old pure gold powder. Because he has no fire attribute and metallicness, he can only use some materials with this attribute to integrate into the rune liquid to refine the talisman with the corresponding attributes, which he gradually explored in the process of talisman making. This time, he refined a total of more than ten talismans of various attributes before stepping into a shop again.
After once again asking to exchange spirit coins for spirit stones was refused, Su Aotian found the shopkeeper, took out five talismans, and asked if he could exchange them for spirit stones. The shopkeeper saw that he took out five talismans at a time, which was powerful and rich in attributes, and couldn't help but be taken aback. Daoist friends are talisman masters?"
Su Aotian saw his expression, as if he had no malice, and his face was full of expectation, and he pondered for a while before he spoke: "I know some talisman making methods, but the talisman master can't talk about it, and I hope that Daoist friends will keep it secret for me, don't say it lightly." The shopkeeper looked happy and said, "Fellow Daoist, you also know that usually only people use spirit stones to buy items, and there are few shops that do the business of exchanging items for spirit stones. Daoists will make talismans, I will make an exception, it is not impossible to exchange spirit stones for Daoist talismans, but I have one thing, and I hope that Daoists will agree. Su Aotian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that he was willing to take out the spirit stone, but his face was very indifferent, and said, "Oh, I don't know what happened to you?" The shopkeeper said: "This matter is not difficult, I just hope that Daoyou can be a resident talisman in my shop, and the talismans made by Daoyou are sold by the small shop." I don't know what the friendship will be?" Su Aotian muttered: "Well, I'm lazy by nature, I don't want to be restrained, I won't stay in one place for a long time, and selling talismans is also occasional, and this request of Daoyou may be difficult to meet." The shopkeeper couldn't help but look disappointed.
After thinking for a while, the shopkeeper didn't give up, and said again: "Then let's do it, I can use the spirit stone to exchange for the Taoist friend's talisman, but this talisman is valuable, the spirit stone is priceless, if the Taoist friend takes out five more talismans, I will make this deal with you." Su Aotian couldn't help but feel angry when he heard the shopkeeper's lion open his mouth, but after thinking about it, spirit stones are indeed rare, and the shopkeeper's opportunity to raise the price is also for profit, since he opened a shop to do business, it is not easy to say that he is greedy for money. Moreover, the talisman is not rare for him, but there is nowhere to find the spirit stone, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This is not impossible, but I only need the water attribute of the spirit stone." "In fact, as long as it is a spirit stone, Su Aotian will exchange it no matter what the attribute, he said this, just hoping that it is best to get a water attribute spirit stone from the shopkeeper's hand.
The shopkeeper was very happy and said, "That's nature." Daoist friends look at it as a water spirit root, so they naturally want to give you a water attribute spirit stone. But what about the talisman...?" Su Aotian reached into his arms and took out five more talismans. The shopkeeper saw that he could take out the talisman casually, and became more and more convinced that he was the talisman master, and said, "Daoist friend sit down for a while, and the spirit stone will be brought immediately." The proposal just now, please consider one or two things. Su Aotian said vaguely: "If I stay here for some time, I will definitely take the talisman I made to Daoist friends for consignment, and Daoist friends can rest assured." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's good, that's good." "Turned around and went out.
