Chapter 13: Drawing the Talisman

Qingsongmen's research on talismans is very meticulous, and in the "Basic Talisman Drawing" obtained by Zhang Zhiping, a series of questions such as the drawing method, the beginning and end points, the amount of input, and the speed of each talisman are explained clearly and clearly, which is enough for a monk to get started easily.

Then Zhang Zhiping checked the tools for drawing the talismans again. Drawing talismans requires pen, ink, paper, inkstone, four treasures of the study, these four treasures can not be used in mortal things, at least it must be a magic weapon, he is just a beginner, the four treasures of the study used are only the lower grade of the magic weapon, but just such a set of tools, the value is very high.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhiping's first choice of rune was the Vajra rune, but he didn't immediately take out the rune paper to draw the rune, but first took out the white paper and practiced the rune of the Vajra rune with an ordinary brush, which was not difficult, and after a few times, it was already very similar on the surface.

The next practice requires drawing and painting runes while transmitting mana, which is more difficult, mainly because the amount of input mana is not easy to control, which requires a lot of practice to experience it yourself, and even the five visceral gods can't help, because the five visceral gods don't know how much mana they need to input when drawing a vajra rune.

After wasting more than seventy rune papers, Zhang Zhiping finally drew the first Vajra rune, and with this beginning, he could use the Five Visceral Gods to cheat. In fact, cultivating immortals requires extremely precise mana mana in many aspects, and a person with excellent mana control will not necessarily become a master, but no matter what skill he learns, he will be very fast.

After the vajra talisman, Zhang Zhiping used the five visceral gods to draw, none of them failed, and finally he calculated, this time he got a total of twenty-four low-grade vajra talismans, and he needed to hand over twenty pieces to the sect, leaving four for himself, a low-grade talisman and a spirit stone, and he earned four spirit stones today.

Most of the Qingsongmen disciples in the middle and late stages of Qi cultivation have a success rate of about 30% when they draw a low-grade rune, and a success rate of about 10% for a middle-grade rune, and overall, they can earn 50 spirit stones in a month; However, the rune master can't draw the rune every day, so their day's arrangement is to draw the medium-grade rune, and when the state is good, try to draw the high-grade rune, and you can earn about a hundred spirit stones in a month.

Zhang Zhiping estimated how many spirit stones he could earn by relying on the talisman, these outer disciples all came to draw talismans in the Grammar Pavilion, and they all used the tools provided by the sect, although they made less money than selling the talisman independently, but it was better to be stable, because all the losses were borne by the sect. Don't look at the fact that you can get a lot of rune paper for free inside the Qingsong Gate, but outside, the Qingsong Gate strictly controls the circulation of rune paper. Rune paper is not cheap, ten blank rune paper costs a spirit stone, and then you need to use the blood of demon beasts to refine ink, on the whole, it is not much more than in the sect, but it also has to bear a lot of risks.

However, this is very unfavorable for Zhang Zhiping, he has the five visceral gods, and the success rate of drawing talismans is extremely high, if he has been divided according to the sect, a large part of his profits have been taken away by the sect, and it is easy to expose the fact that he has a very high success rate of drawing talismans.

So what should I do? Zhang Zhiping suddenly thought of reselling. Reselling is a method that some of the rune masters who have a very high talent for drawing talismans have come up with, and they are also facing Zhang Zhiping's situation, so after drawing the runes, they will hand over the runes according to the normal success rate of drawing runes, and the more runes will be secretly hidden and sold, anyway, once the runes fail to draw, they will burn into ashes, and if you don't check carefully, it is difficult to judge how many runes have been successfully drawn. The sect can't search the body, otherwise it will easily affect the unity within the door, so simply collect the talisman directly according to the success rate of the normal drawing talisman.

Of course, a rookie like Zhang Zhiping can stay in the Grammar Pavilion for free for a month, and after a month, if the success rate of even a talisman is not up to the standard, it means that his talent in the art of talisman is extremely bad, so it is better to learn other immortal cultivation skills.

Strictly speaking, the sect cracks down on scalping activities, after all, this can be regarded as damaging the interests of the sect, but the people who carry out the scalping activities are all highly talented Fu masters in the sect, and if the crackdown is too severe, they will deviate from morality, and the loss of benefits is not large, so the sect has been turning a blind eye. Zhang Zhiping also knows a scalping businessman, that is Zheng Changfa, in terms of relationship, the two are also close and can be trusted, but Zheng Chang found that he was in retreat, and he didn't know if he could do it.

Zhang Zhiping thought about it, forget it, there is still a month, and he can get 3,000 rune papers, and he will talk about it when he finishes refining all these rune papers.

A month later, Zhang Zhiping refined all the middle and lower grade runes, and even tried to draw a high-grade rune, but none of them succeeded, so he gave up temporarily. In the end, he got a total of 1,000 low-grade talismans and 400 medium-grade talismans. This is undoubtedly a lot of wealth, with a total value of five thousand spirit stones, and if you can sell them all, you can not worry about the spirit stones for a while. But how to sell these talismans? Zhang Zhiping thought about the places where he could buy and sell, and decided to go to Qingsong City to dispose of these talismans.

Fifteen hundred talismans seem like a lot, but for most monks, they are embarrassed to go out without dozens or hundreds of talismans, and some wealthy monks even carry hundreds or thousands of talismans. After all, compared to spells, talismans are simple and quick to use, and dozens of talismans are directly spilled at critical moments, and even monks who practice qi consummation have to avoid their edges, which is a great supplement to the combat system.

After going out of the formalities, Zhang Zhiping left Qingsong Gorge, because Qingsongmen is close to the remaining veins of 100,000 mountains, and the outer disciples often go to hunt and kill demon beasts, so it is not a difficult thing for disciples to go out during the Qi training period, as long as they go through the formalities. The only thing that was a little surprising was that the disciple who went through the formalities had seen the battle between Zhang Zhiping and Yang Qing at the beginning, and he had been chattering endlessly, and his tone was full of admiration.

Zhang Zhiping accepted these praises with peace of mind and left Qingsong Gorge happily.

Qingsong Gorge is not far from Qingsong City, about a hundred miles, and at Zhang Zhiping's speed, it only took an hour to arrive at Qingsong City unhurriedly. Qingsong City has a population of 300,000 and more than 60,000 immortal cultivators, and belongs to one of the nine immortal cities of the Five Kingdoms. After reading "The Distribution of the Forces of the Five Kingdoms", Zhang Zhiping knew that there were about sixty in the entire Five Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm

Among the 10,000 or so immortal cultivators, the nine major immortal cities account for more than 400,000, and among the ten major immortal cities, each of the five major factions controls one immortal city, and the scattered cultivation alliance controls the remaining four; the remaining 100,000 immortal cultivators are distributed in the large and small markets of the five countries, and they are basically in places where people are inaccessible and the aura is relatively rich.

More than 600,000 immortal cultivators seem to be a lot, but the total population of the five countries is nearly 300 million, and the territory of each country is not smaller than that of Hua in the previous life, and most of the cultivators with spiritual roots are not from the five countries, but from the top ten immortal cities, after all, the descendants born by immortal cultivators are far more likely to have spiritual roots than mortals.
