But in the end, this fourth-level talisman still failed.

It can be described as a failure.

Interestingly, the consumption of Zhenqi is still one-third.

Xu Bansheng estimated that the drawing of these fourth-level talismans, no matter whether they succeeded or failed, and no matter what stage they failed, the amount of True Qi they consumed would be one-third of all their True Qi.

Immediately tried it again, but it still failed, and this time it was a little better than the last time, and the completion was close to 95%.

After a little adjustment, Xu Bansheng made a third attempt, and the True Qi in his body was finally consumed, but this rune paper still spontaneously burned into ashes at 95%.

Unlike before, these three times, the rune paper only spontaneously combusted, and did not explode.

But there seems to be no essential difference, whether it is explosion or spontaneous combustion, the ending is the same, failure is failure.

Xu Bansheng looked at the ashes on the table that had already burned a lot of rune paper, and he realized that there was something wrong, and he was in the right direction, but he had not fully met the requirements of the fourth-level rune.

What went wrong?

Xu Bansheng's pen tip is only connected to the rune paper, and the runes drawn are almost invisible, even in a subtle state, it is impossible for Xu Bansheng to control the lines of the runes more thinly.

It's impossible to say that you want to hang the pen in the air, right?

The rune pen is in the air?!

Xu Bansheng suddenly realized that this did not seem impossible.

In the process of making talismans, the walking of runes is naturally very important, but in fact, the cinnabar that is drawn on the rune paper has no practical significance, and what really makes the rune work is the true qi injected into it in the process of drawing the rune.

When I was on Earth, the reason why most of the runes that were drawn didn't have any effect at all was because those people could draw the runes at all, but they couldn't add true qi to the direction of the runes.

In the Kyushu world, of course, almost all the talismans are useful, that is because any mortal here may have true qi in the body, and obviously, being able to inject true yuan, true crystal, and even true qi into the rune paper will make the talisman grade higher.

So, in other words, cinnabar is actually a dispensable thing for the talisman, which is just a carrier of true qi.

Ordinary immortal cultivators, or talisman makers, need to inject true qi into the talisman pen, and then mix it with cinnabar at the end of the pen, so that it will eventually fall on the talisman paper. What really works is these true qi, and those cinnabars, it doesn't matter at all whether they have it or not.

However, how exactly do you inject the true qi into the rune paper through the air? Even if it is Xu Bansheng, it is impossible to evenly cover the true qi on the rune paper through the air to form runes, and of course it can be done forcibly, but the result of that is not only the rune paper burned to ashes, but I am afraid that even the entire table and even the entire study will be turned into powder under the huge output of Xu Bansheng's huge true qi.

Xu Bansheng tried it hard, trying to see if he could condense the True Qi into a thin line, making it form runes on the surface of the rune paper like cinnabar. However, as soon as Zhenqi spit it out, the rune paper and the table turned into a pile of powder.

Looking at the mess in the study, Xu Bansheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, fortunately he was very vigilant, if the output of Zhenqi was a little more, this room would no longer exist.

Lai Tiangong is undoubtedly a formation master, and every formation master has a very deep level in the way of talisman making, and his knowledge and understanding of the art of talisman making should still be above Xu Bansheng.

Xu Bansheng's current level of talisman making is quite high, even if it is a grandmaster-level talisman master, it may not be able to be compared with it. The success rate of the third-level talisman is more than ninety percent, and I am afraid that few people in the entire Zhongshen Prefecture can do it. As for the completion of the fourth-level rune that can reach 95 percent, in the current Zhongshenzhou, it is likely that he will only have half a life.

This also means that at the level of talisman making, Xu Bansheng is actually equivalent to the heavenly work in the way of refining.

The level of the talisman does not mean that Xu Bansheng's talisman theory has a corresponding level, which is related to Xu Bansheng's experience on the earth in the previous life, because the aura of the end of the Dharma era has been quite thin, so it forces the cultivator to study the talisman, which is the level accumulated with thousands or even tens of thousands of years of practice, but the theory, because of the low level of cultivation, is obviously not comparable to the Kyushu world.

Walking out of the study, Yao Yao was still waiting for him outside, and couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw Xu Bansheng looking very tired.

Xu Bansheng smiled, rubbed Yao Yao's head, and said, "It's just that the true qi is exhausted, don't worry." I'll go find Master, you've just come out, so let's go and rest too. I'll go to you when I'm done with the matter at hand. ”

Yao Yao nodded obediently, and Xu Bansheng went to Lai Tiangong's side.

"Master, is there a way to draw runes so that the rune pen does not come into contact with the rune paper? That is to say, drawing on the rune paper can inject true qi into the rune paper and make the rune take effect. ”

Lai Tiangong frowned slightly, and said, "Half a life, are you trying to draw a fourth-level talisman?"

Xu Bansheng was slightly stunned, and quickly understood why Lai Tiangong knew, it seemed that below the third-level rune, it could be drawn in the same way, and when it came to the fourth-level rune, it was necessary to prevent the cinnabar from falling on the rune paper.

He has nothing to hide from Lai Tiangong, but judging from Lai Tiangong's transmission, it is better to keep this matter secret.

So Xu Bansheng also said: "Yes, the apprentice is trying to draw a fourth-level talisman. At the beginning, at most, halfway through the rune, the rune paper was shattered and spontaneously combusted. Later, I tried to make the contact between the tip of the pen and the rune paper as fine as possible, but I could only make the runes more than ninety percent complete, and I always fell short at the last minute. The disciple wondered if this fourth-level talisman could not let the talisman paper be stained with a little cinnabar, and it would be successful to vent the true qi directly on it. But the real qi had just been spit out, not to mention the rune paper, and even the table was blown into powder. ”

Lai Tiangong smiled slightly and asked, "Didn't you try to swing the talisman pen empty, and didn't dip it in cinnabar?"

Xu Bansheng was stunned for a moment, his heart is not so simple, is it......?

Looking at his expression, Lai Tiangong knew that he didn't try like this, so he smiled again: "Fortunately, you didn't try like this, otherwise this Taiyuan Peak would have been cut off by you in half!"

"Huh?" Xu Bansheng said in his heart that with his own strength, he could cut Taiyuan Peak by half, but it was impossible to do so by directly releasing True Qi.

Lai Tiangong explained: "If you don't dip the cinnabar and draw runes with an empty pen, you can indeed draw successfully. However, the moment you finish the drawing, the symbol will come into direct play. In other words, this fourth-level spirit rune is equivalent to being used by you on the spot. Just imagine, the power of a fourth-level spirit rune is still light if you cut half a mountain. Of course, this is not actually a success in the true sense, in the process of your drawing, the true qi is constantly draining, otherwise, if it is really the power of a fourth-level spirit rune, Taiyuan Peak will definitely be razed to the ground, and other places will also be affected. ”

Xu Bansheng nodded, fortunately he didn't think of this, otherwise if he tried rashly, wouldn't the Taiyi faction fly into trouble?

"But, Master, there's still a way to inject true qi into the rune paper through the talisman pen, right?"

Lai Tiangong nodded and said, "This is natural, the fourth-level talisman must be drawn like this, otherwise it will definitely not succeed." However, it is not the air you say, but a completely different kind of cinnabar, which has the effect of disappearing automatically. By the halfway point of your rune, the cinnabar has disappeared from the place where you first started your stroke. This requires a very subtle control of speed, because if you put down the pen faster than the cinnabar disappears, it will still cause the rune paper to spontaneously combust. Moreover, the speed must be absolutely stable throughout the journey, and the slightest mistake will be wasted. You just said that your completion rate has reached more than 90%?"

Xu Bansheng nodded and said, "It's about ninety and a half." ”

Lai Tiangong took a breath and said, "It seems that your current talisman making skills have surpassed the vast majority of talisman masters, and looking at the entire Zhongshenzhou, I am afraid that there are talismans of your level, but there are only more than one hand." Since you already have about ninety and a half percent of the completion, you should be able to complete it easily by switching to special cinnabar. Fourth-level spirit runes, between this heaven and earth, at least hundreds of years have not heard of anyone being able to draw successfully. ”

Xu Bansheng suddenly realized that Lai Tiangong had rested for two days, and his spirit had recovered a lot, and his cultivation still no longer existed, but there was no problem with normal actions.

Lai Tiangong personally prepared a bowl of cinnabar for Xu Bansheng, and he said: "Let's start, be fast and steady, even if this cinnabar is in a bowl, it will disappear on its own." ”

For this so-called disappearance, Xu Bansheng actually has a more accurate word - volatilization, but it involves science and technology, and Xu Bansheng did not say it to Lai Tiangong.

Picking up the judge's pen, Xu Bansheng dipped it in the cinnabar prepared by Lai Tiangong himself, and then, still controlling only the tip of the pen to have an extremely slight contact with the rune paper, the pen walked the dragon snake, the speed remained constant, and a thin invisible rune was produced under his pen.

In this way, Lai Tiangong witnessed the birth of a fourth-level talisman, and Xu Bansheng completed the drawing of this fourth-level spirit rune with almost no effort.

And the True Qi in his body, as he expected, was still one-third of the consumption.

After it was completed, Xu Bansheng could feel the true qi on the talisman, and naturally knew that it was a complete success, and the process was a little tortuous, but the result still satisfied him.

And Lai Tiangong was holding the fourth-level talisman in his hand, and he was excited, in his life, the third-level talisman had seen it, but the fourth-level talisman was just heard. Not to mention Lai Tiangong, even if it is an upper door like the Sword Qi Sect, the fourth-level talisman is only in stock, and one is less than one.

This talisman, Xu Bansheng planned to give it to Wen Qingshui, although their agreement did not include this, but he saw that Wen Qingshui was also doing his best to save Lai Tiangong, and he also wanted to express it. He also hoped that Wen Qingshui would really find a way to restore Lai Tiangong's cultivation.

Wen Qingshui was also amazed when he saw this fourth-level talisman, and he was even more eager to help Lai Tiangong recover his cultivation immediately.
