A month has passed, and the treasure hall of the Hanshan Taoist Temple is still lit up all night, and it has never been extinguished overnight.

The Yamen of Gusu County has long given up the search in Gusu City and the pursuit of the thieves, and the officials have resumed their usual laziness, either idling in the Yamen, or going everywhere to fight the autumn wind and stuff the teeth.

After a month of noisy and lively gangs, the gangs of all sizes in Wu County found that they were just busy working, and they couldn't help but lose their enthusiasm and died down, and no one cared about the shocking case of the Hanshan Taoist Temple anymore.

After all, it's just that the Hanshan Taoist Temple has lost a treasure book, and it has little to do with the Gusu County Ya and the major gangs.

It is good to be able to help find the treasure book, and it can make Hanshan Zhenren owe a great favor. But if they can't find it, they can't put their business aside and go every day to help the Hanshan Taoist Temple find the mysterious Jiangyang thief who came and went without a trace.

The rivers and lakes of Wujun are calm.

But others can give up, but the Taoist priests of the Hanshan Taoist Temple can't give up the pursuit.

This spiritual book is the treasure that the real people of Hanshan care about the most, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the root of life. Compared with those worldly goods, gold, silver and jewelry are many times more important.

In the past month, the Taoist priests, led by the five major disciples, went out to chase the Jiangyang thieves during the day, and returned to the Taoist temple at night to gather and exchange information.

Late at night, the main hall.

The candle flame flickered brightly, shining on the faces of the five senior brothers including Qinghe Dao Chief, and one by one they looked haggard and withered, as if they were ten years old in January, and they were all sitting cross-legged with sad faces, discussing countermeasures, but their hearts were extremely desperate.

It's been a month, and there are no clues.

Even if they did not hesitate to use the Jianghu stickers of Shizun Hanshan Zhenren, mobilized the strength of thousands of officials in Gusu County and thousands of Jianghu disciples of the five major gangs in Wu County, and laid a net within a radius of hundreds of miles to search for the whereabouts of the thief and the spiritual book, but there was still no result.

Shizun is uncertain when he is outside, and he does not know when he will suddenly return. Once the master returns from his travels, how should these five disciples explain to the master?

Qingshi Dao Chang thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of an idea.

"Senior brothers. This book thief must be a peerless thief, and if you want to find clues from him, there is no chance. However, we can think differently.

Since he stole the spiritual book, he will definitely try to decipher the mystery. In case of... I mean, just in case, he really cracked the mystery of the spiritual book. Then there are some secret methods for making spirit runes in the spirit book, and he will definitely try it.

And this spirit material is very rare. In the entire thirteen counties of Wu County, there are only a very few places. It took more than ten years to gather detailed information from Shizun's personal visit, and these places are only known to us.

If the thief wanted to find the spirit materials to make the spirit runes, he would definitely go to those places as well. We sent our masters to lurk and guard near these spiritual materials, and we might be able to catch this thief!"

All the brothers and sisters were stunned when they heard this, and they shook their heads one after another.

Isn't that the same as sticking to it?

Hanshan Zhenren and their five major personal disciples have spent as long as one or two decades together, and so far they have only cracked a small part of the mysteries in this spirit book, revealed the words inside, and tried to make spirit runes.

With the strength of their master, the first grandmaster of Wu County, it is still so difficult to gather the power of the entire Hanshan Taoist Temple, let alone others!

How could the thief crack the secret of the treasure book in a short period of time? Even if he was lucky, I am afraid that it would take more than one or two decades before there was a glimmer of hope and the mystery in the spiritual book.

How long did they have to wait until the Jiang Yang thief appeared? If the Jiang Yang thief couldn't crack the secret of the spirit book and didn't go to find those spirit materials at all, wouldn't they have to wait for a lifetime?

Even if it's not a lifetime, wait for a decade or two, and the daylily will be cold long ago. The master was afraid that he would return in a few months, and when he found that the spiritual book had been lost, he would be furious and would definitely punish the five senior brothers heavily, and then it would be too late.

"Alas, the hope of this method is very slim, but it cannot be given up. In this way, every place we have spiritual materials will be guarded by at least one first-class master, and see what we can gain!"

Qinghe Dao Chang groaned for a long time and sighed.

In the past month, they have exhausted all the methods they can use, and there is no other countermeasure available. Only a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, try your luck.

...

Su Chen soon stopped thinking about the spirit talisman in Qinghe Old Dao's study.

His attention was all on the immortal cultivation techniques of this spiritual book.

"Getaway!"

"This is the Flying Immortal Recipe of the Gu Immortals, and it is rumored that there are eight pieces that have been passed down to the world, but most of them are lost. This volume only records the first of these Qi refining period exercises. ”

"The First Part of the Qi Refining Period of the Getaway: The Mayfly Chapter", the final decision. ”

"Mayfly, die in the twilight of life, have fun!"

"Born in the water, without drinking or eating, with wings to groom itself. Its wings are splendid and colorful, Chu Chu is like clothes, picking is like clothes, digging and reading is like snow. ”

"Chu Chu, bright appearance. Caicai, many also. Dig and read, and read also. Like snow, words are fresh and clean. ”

"Twilight, covering the water, seeking death, going with the flow. ”

Therefore, it is said: The thinness of life is a mayfly. Cultivate a slight ugly quality, Qiang Cai Cai and self-cultivation. I don't know the obscurity, I don't have the intention of spring and autumn. What do you want for a day? If you are drowning and reluctant, why bother with rivers and lakes but swimming. ”

"The "Mayfly Chapter" is divided into three layers of formulas in the early, middle and late stages, namely: 'Early - dormant formula, middle stage - transformation formula, late stage - feather transformation formula. 'As follows:..."

Su Chen held the jade slip in both hands, and repeatedly recited the final decision of the "Mayfly Chapter" word by word, which was quite cloudy, and he seemed to understand it.

The meaning of the final decision is that the mayfly is born in the morning, gives birth to a pair of wings, and after a very happy day, it dies in the evening and goes away with the water... Flowed away~~!

Just live for a day?!

This tiny little creature... Life is too short, isn't it?

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh.

However, the ancient immortals also had some understanding of the small life of the mayfly, and actually realized the three-layer method of the early, middle and late stages, and since then they have embarked on the Flying Immortal Road.

"Well, well, since it's an immortal's trick, it should be more esoteric. I can't understand it, I'm a mortal little handyman, that's just a matter of course! No matter what, I'll practice diligently every day and slowly study this immortal cultivation method!"

Su Chen suddenly patted his head and thought happily.

He couldn't understand it, but instead of thinking about it, he was delighted.

If you can understand it at a glance like a secular martial art, it's bad, it's definitely an impostor.

Moreover, the difficulty of cultivating immortal cultivation is definitely very high, it is not something that can be completed overnight, and it is normal to spend ten years to achieve something.

He's only fourteen years old, and he's not in a hurry.

Su Chen looked at the other jade slips again.

Each of the eight jade slips recorded a spiritual technique, which was a powerful immortal technique. But as mentioned above, to cultivate and perform any kind of spiritual art, you need to reach the realm of the Qi refining period and have the mana of the Immortal Family.

"What is the realm of the Qi Refining Period, and what is the mana of this Immortal Family?"

Su Chen was stunned and confused.

He pondered it repeatedly for a long time, and felt that this "Qi Refining Period" should be the realm division of immortals, and he didn't know how powerful it was to become an immortal in the Qi Refining Period. But it must be much more powerful than the great masters of the rivers and lakes!

Obviously, he is now a second-rate early stage martial artist, and he must not be close to the immortal realm, and naturally it is impossible to reach any Qi refining stage realm.

As a martial artist in the rivers and lakes, Su Chen has never known that there is the existence of the true qi of the inner family, which is already the most powerful power that a martial artist has, which can enhance the lethality and defense of the blade armor several times.

But he had never heard of mana.

I am afraid that this is the extraordinary power that only immortals have, and ordinary mortals and martial artists naturally do not have it.

"The cultivation of the "Ephemera Chapter of the Wandering Journey" can be as short as a few years or as long as decades, and I am afraid that I will not be able to cultivate it in a short time. And before cultivating the immortal cultivation method and becoming an immortal and obtaining mana, this spiritual technique cannot be counted on for a while. ”

Su Chen thought secretly.

He could only put aside the spirit magic with regret and carefully looked at the other eight jade slips that recorded the spirit runes.

"I hope this rune will be of some use!"

Su Chen was quickly pleasantly surprised to see that there was no mana or anything like mana, as long as the spirit rune was made, even mortals could use it.

Moreover, the production method of the spirit rune is also relatively simple, and there are no special requirements for the maker.

The key is to gather spiritual materials.

Each jade slip of the spirit rune records the detailed materials, methods, and drawing process of making this spirit rune.

To make a spirit rune, you need to use four basic materials: spirit paper, spirit ink, spirit pen, and spirit inkstone.

Of course, these four materials are not ordinary pen and ink materials used by scholars, but materials specially used to write spiritual runes. Moreover, the materials used for different types of spirit runes are completely different, and they are not universal.

Among them, the two materials of "spirit ink and spirit paper" are the most important.

Spiritual ink, ink has its own spiritual power. Lingmo is made of materials that contain a strong aura, so drawing a spirit rune naturally has spiritual power. It largely determines the power of the rune.

Spirit paper is the carrier of spiritual power. If the spirit paper cannot carry the powerful spiritual power in the spirit ink, it will spontaneously combust or even explode, endangering the talisman maker. It determines the maximum amount of power that a rune can reach.

The spirit pen has a slightly smaller effect. A good spirit pen can increase the success rate of writing spirit runes. But a slightly worse spirit pen can also be written, but the success rate of writing will be reduced a lot.

The role of the spirit inkstone is the smallest, and it is best if it meets the requirements, and it doesn't matter if there is no suitable one. Even ordinary inkstones can be used, and of course, the success rate of making spirit runes will be slightly reduced.

As long as you can obtain the crafting materials of these four spirit runes, it is basically easy to make a spirit rune.

The talisman maker only needs to draw the scoop according to the gourd, and draw it according to the pattern of the spirit rune in the jade slip.

Of course, there is still a big difference between different people "drawing scoops on the gourd". Some people are highly talented, and their perception of spirit runes is very keen, and they can be painted as soon as they are drawn. Some people have low talent, and they fail to paint, or they produce some inferior products.

And the method of using spirit runes is simpler, directly crush them, and you can release the terrifying power inside.

Su Chen thought of the flame rune that he had once on the desk of Qinghe Old Dao, just by touching it with his hand, he could feel the terrifying burning power of the flame inside, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Since this spirit rune is an immortal secret technique, its power must be incomparably terrifying, and it is not an enemy of secular martial arts! With this thing, what am I still cultivating those low-level martial arts for?

So I decided to find spiritual materials. When I find these spiritual materials, maybe I can draw a gourd in the same way and draw that kind of powerful spiritual rune. ”
