Chapter 25: Self-taught Talisman Technique
The next day, Guo Yang returned to his cave.
Looking at the corpses of more than two dozen black water wolves and a small pile of storage bags collected from those inner disciples, my heart blossomed.
"Get rich, get rich......" Guo Yang opened the storage bags one by one, and poured a bunch of spirit stones, pills and various sundries inside.
"It's still Senior Brother Ma's net worth, and the pill alone is worth two or three thousand spirit stones, as well as these hundreds of spirit stones. It's a pity that all those talismans have been consumed, and I don't have a single one left. ”
Being robbed this time, the people of Guo Yangkeng have gained quite a lot, and if you count these black water wolf materials, it is estimated that there are thousands of spirit stones.
In addition, what made Guo Yang most excited was the golden little flying sword.
This kind of flying sword, sold at the Taiwang Sect Refining Workshop, is sold at a price of two thousand spirit stones, which can be regarded as a medium-grade magic weapon.
And the biggest gain is that in the true sense, I have witnessed the strength of the cultivator for the first time. Although Ma Youbiao was only at the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, he was only one level higher than himself, but his actual combat power was much stronger than himself.
What especially made Guo Yang's heart short of breath was the pale golden talisman seal that Ma Youbiao sent out at the end, although it may be a one-time consumable, but its power is really surprising.
"Strength, strength determines everything!" Guo Yang gritted his teeth a little.
The processing of the materials of the two dozen black water wolves made Guo Yang think a little hard.
He first went to the Hall of Affairs and looked at the rewards of the sect's mission. I went to the refining workshop again and inquired about the purchase price of the Black Water Wolf materials, and in the end, he came to the conclusion that it was the most cost-effective to temporarily take over the task of the affairs hall.
Because, if you sell it to the refining workshop, you can sell more spirit stones, but if you hand it over to the affairs hall, you can get some sect task points. And these points can be exchanged for some spells and cultivation secrets.
Among them, the rune seal technique is one of the secret methods that can be exchanged.
witnessed Ma Youbiao throwing out a handful of talismans and killing several black water wolves, which made Guo Yang very moved. However, when he went to the refining workshop to inquire about the price of the talisman, he suddenly felt a little painful.
A fire bullet talisman seal costs more than twenty spirit stones. Ma Youbiao threw out twenty or thirty talismans, which were hundreds of spirit stones!
Since his strength could not be broken through in a short period of time, Guo Yang decided to learn to refine the talisman seal by himself.
He didn't bother to make a few more trips to the office hall and took on seven or eight missions to kill the Black Water Wolf.
Then, every once in a while, he successively exchanged the materials of more than two dozen black water wolves for nearly five hundred points.
These points can just be exchanged for a copy of "Fu Seal Technique".
Originally, learning the talisman technique required a special apprenticeship, because there was too much knowledge involved in all aspects.
But when Guo Yang heard that he had signed up to learn Fu Seal Technique, at least a hundred spirit stones every month, he immediately dispelled the idea of going to apprentice: "Anyway, it's learning, Lao Tzu is self-taught!"
After spending more than 100 spirit stones, purchasing brushes, rune paper, and spiritual liquid used to draw talismans, Guo Yang completely locked himself in the cave and began to learn to refine talisman seals day and night.
A month later, Guo Yang walked out of the cave with his head scattered, ran to the refining workshop, and purchased a large pile of rune paper and spiritual liquid.
......
Three months later, Guo Yang once walked out of the cave with his hair scattered and purchased a large pile of talisman paper and spiritual liquid.
......
After another five months, Guo Yang walked out of the cave again, the whole person was haggard, his eyes were sunken, and he ran to the refining workshop with words in his mouth, bought more rune paper and spiritual liquid, and sold two high-grade brushes at the same time.
......
For a whole year, Guo Yang worked day and night to learn the systematic knowledge of the talisman seal, and at the same time carried out the training of drawing talismans. His cave is full of scrapped talismans and talismans that have not yet been scrapped. The stone walls are covered with various mystical symbols and special strokes, as well as some patterns that Guo Yang himself cannot explain.
Spending all the spirit stones on his body, and even risking to sell a few more elixirs, it was not enough for Guo Yang to waste day and night.
"This time, it must be successful......! Can I swear!" With a soft "bang", the talisman on the table, which was about to be successfully refined, turned into a wisp of green smoke and was completely scrapped.
Guo Yang's eyes were bloodshot, his eye sockets were deep, his hair was scattered, and his whole person looked close to collapse.
"The rune seal is so difficult to refine, is it because my method is wrong? That's right, every step of each card is strictly refined in accordance with the "Fu Seal Technique"!" Guo Yang was about to go crazy.
And what made him most sad was that nearly 10,000 spirit stones were about to be lost, which Guo Yang absolutely couldn't bear.
But there is no way, the seemingly simple talisman refining will not succeed Guo Yang. Each time it is scrapped at the last step.
This made Guo Yang on the verge of collapse.
Seeing that the last spirit stone also turned into a wisp of green smoke, Guo Yang had to stop.
He read through the Fu Seal Art again and found no problems.
He closed his eyes and demonstrated the entire process of refining the talisman seal in his mind, and found no problems.
"Could it be that the spiritual power is not enough? It's not right, refining a low-level rune seal, obviously only needs to be above the third layer of the qi refining period. So, what is the reason?" Guo Yang shook his head, his severe frustration making him unable to lift his spirits.
"The charmer, yin and yang are in line with it, but the most sincere people in the world can use it, and if they are not sincere, they will naturally not work. Therefore, it is said that the essence of heaven and earth is combined with the essence of all things, and the spirit of mine is combined with the god of all things in heaven and earth. The essence is consistent, and the gods depend on each other, so the fake size paper calls on the ghosts and gods, and the ghosts and gods have to ......"
"Combine the essence of heaven and earth with my essence, and combine the spirit of heaven and earth with my god......" Guo Yang frowned deeply, and seemed to realize in a trance, but he couldn't grasp the point, which made him even more crazy.
I sat all night, and still had no results.
Guo Yang walked out of the cave depressed and wanted to go out for a walk. Nearly a year of refining talismans had exhausted him physically and mentally to the limit.
As soon as you go out, the morning sun is dazzling and the wind is refreshing.
Guo Yang squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, where the clouds and mist were thick, shrouding the two main peaks of the Taiwang Sect, which was quite meteorological. However, what Guo Yang saw in his eyes was that farther away, where the heaven and the earth were the same color, the glimmer was shining, as if reflecting each other, and at the same time confirming each other's existence.
Guo Yang's heart moved, and he silently tasted the principles and techniques of talisman refining recorded in the "Fu Seal Technique", and he was a little fascinated for a while.
"The essence is consistent, and the gods and spirits depend on each other. In other words, the essence of the talisman itself needs to be consistent with my essence in order to be able to rely on each other, and at that moment, it will burst out with great power. Otherwise, the spirit will be scattered, and even if a talisman seal is refined, it is estimated that it will not have much power. Guo Yang suddenly realized and hurried back to the cave.
He first swallowed a Ning Yuan Pill, meditated cross-legged, and after slowly refining the medicinal power, the essence of the whole person gradually became full.
After quietly contemplating for a while, Guo Yang slowly stood up, lifted his pen, dipped it in spiritual liquid, and closed his eyes to demonstrate all the strokes and changes of the fire bullet talisman seal, and then began to draw.
During the whole process, Guo Yang held his breath and stared, condensing the heart method and release method of the fire bomb technique into the end of the pen, and in the vertical and horizontal strokes, there was a faint blazing light, and a violent breath condensed but did not emit, which made people palpitate.
Guo Yangyi followed the spirit, and no longer regarded the strokes on the talisman seal as simple strokes, but as the whole body of a cultivator. The spiritual fluid on the brush is no longer a simple spiritual liquid, but a rich aura.
After twenty or thirty acupuncture points, the strokes made of spiritual fluid are like spiritual energy running for a week.
The last stroke is like the tip of Guo Yang's own index finger.
One meal, one harvest, in a trance, a small pale yellow fire condensed but did not emit, looming.
......
After a long time, I slowly picked up the pen.
Only then did Guo Yang wake up from the artistic conception of Fu Seal refining. Looking at the aura on the table, Guo Yang was ecstatic: "Finally the refining has been successful!"
After being excited for a while, Guo Yang took the first talisman seal he had successfully refined in his hand and admired it repeatedly, his heart full of joy.
This talisman seal is not the same as the one sold in those refining workshops. Most of the talismans sold in the refining workshop were crumbling, and the aura seemed to be about to collapse at any time. And this talisman refined by Guo Yang has a strong and restrained aura covering its surface, and at the same time, there is a faint trace of palpitating dangerous aura emitting from it.
"This is the top-grade talisman seal?" Guo Yang successfully refined the talisman seal for the first time, so he was a little confused. But he was full of confidence, thinking that he had indeed mastered the refining techniques of low-level talismans and seals, and even the mental method.
Guo Yang meditated and rested for a while, and began to refine the talisman seal again. He wanted to master the talisman refining method he had just comprehended as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, the second sigil was also successful.
In the next day and night, Guo Yang successfully refined twenty fireball talisman seals. During this period, there was not a single failure.
This is an impressive achievement.
Guo Yang was also secretly surprised, because he knew that even those Fu Seal masters could only maintain a success rate of about eighty or ninety percent, and they would definitely not be able to succeed in everything.
However, Guo Yang's refining of talisman seals in this way is correspondingly extremely expensive, and the consumption of physical strength and divine consciousness is correspondingly huge, often refining two or three talismans, Guo Yang has to swallow a Ning Yuan Pill to restore his energy and spiritual power.
"In this way, the consumption is even greater. Guo Yang muttered to himself. However, looking at the two dozen fireball talisman seals in the storage bag, Guo Yang still couldn't hide his joy.
In the next two or three months, Guo Yang concentrated his efforts and refined hundreds of fireball talismans. It's not that he doesn't want to refine other kinds of spells, it's that he only knows this one kind of spell himself.
Later, when Guo Yang was refining the talisman seal, it was even like releasing a fire bomb technique by himself, he could do whatever he wanted, and he could make it with his eyes closed.
Moreover, with the non-stop production of talismans, his fire bomb technique has also been greatly improved, and it is estimated that his release speed can be doubled.
Guo Yang's Fire Bomb Technique was originally basically close to instantaneous, and if the release speed was doubled, it was infinitely close to instantaneous.
This was an unexpected joy that made Guo Yang excited.
Another unexpected joy is that Guo Yang once had a whim to refine a talisman on a piece of black water wolf skin, and unexpectedly found that the talisman seal made in this way seems to contain more powerful fire bomb techniques.
This discovery inspired Guo Yang. It must be known that refining the talisman seal consumes the most rune paper and spiritual liquid. Now that it has been discovered that the skin of the Black Water Wolf can replace the rune paper, is there anything else that can replace the spiritual liquid?
With this serious question in mind, Guo Yang began a large number of experiments.
He found that the main reason why the skins of the black water wolf could replace the rune paper was that these skins contained a large amount of aura, even more than the aura in those rune papers.
Secondly, the formula of those spiritual liquids is nothing more than the synthesis of the juice of some spiritual medicines, among them, the most important elixir is called Juling Grass.
Guo Yang kept trying, using the Gathering Spirit Herb as the main medicine, mixing the juice of various elixirs and even the essence blood of the Black Water Wolf into it, so as to match the synthetic spirit liquid.
After two or three months of continuous attempts, Guo Yang's alternative to the Ichor was abandoned.
The reason is very simple, that is, he doesn't know the original formula of the spiritual liquid at all, and if he continues, it is basically no different from ruining the elixir.
Stopping the frantic alternative experiment plan, Guo Yang began to seriously consider his cultivation.
And the biggest obstacle in front of him is only one thing, and that is the need for a large number of spirit stones.
"Spirit Stone ......" Guo Yang couldn't help but moan.
