Chapter 256

"Hey! Isn't this the Taoist friend who bought the jade slip of the crazy man Wu that day? I only found out the problem now, isn't it too late! After the madman Wu sold the jade slip to you, he disappeared the next day! I heard that he had already left the market, and there was no way for you to return it!" The young man had obviously seen the scene of Xu Yang buying the jade slip that day, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer.

The owners of the stalls around were basically the people of the day, and most of them had seen Xu Yang.

At this moment, seeing Xu Yang coming again, there were many speculations in my heart.

Many of them also followed the young man and laughed at Xu Yang again and again. There were also some people who looked at Xu Yang in disbelief and remained silent.

Xu Yang was disdainful of the ridicule coming from all around, but walked in front of a silent middle-aged man in small steps, and asked, "This fellow Daoist, do you know where the madman Wu lives?" This middle-aged man is the owner of a stall, he only has the cultivation in the early stage of gathering qi, and there are only some sporadic materials on the stall, which are not worth much spirit stones, and it seems that he is a person with poor wealth.

At this moment, when he saw Xu Yang coming to ask, he quickly stood up and said respectfully: "This fellow Daoist, that madman Wu has always had strange whereabouts, where does he live? In addition, after he sold the jade slip that day, he was targeted by many people, but those who followed him, without exception, were lost, and the chance of Daoyou finding this person should be slim. ”

Xu Yang's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he just nodded to show that he understood, and never looked at this person again.

This person is unusually polite to Xu Yang, which is of course due to the result of Xu Yang's exposure of wealth once. Although Xu Yang's cultivation is not high, but under his wealth, his status is by no means comparable to that of ordinary monks.

Xu Yang glanced at everyone and saw that everyone had different expressions, but no one stepped forward to speak.

The words he and the middle-aged man just now would definitely not escape the listening of these monks.

Now that he knows his purpose, no one has stepped forward to provide information about the madman Wu, and it seems that no one knows where the madman Wu lives.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang did not make a senseless delay here, and walked towards his residence.

After the small half-pillar incense, Xu Yang had already returned to his own room in Qingfeng Pavilion again. He was kneeling cross-legged in the room, holding a jade slip in his hand, and his divine sense was probing into it, his expression extremely focused.

After a long time, I saw him take back his divine sense, shake it, and put the jade slip away.

It was a mysterious jade slip obtained from the hands of a madman Wu, and Xu Yang observed the mysteries in the jade slip for a long time but found nothing, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.

Although I can't learn more about this jade slip, it has been of great help to Xu Yang. Originally, he didn't know anything about talisman making, but now he has a little grasp of making primary talismans.

Learning talisman making was a very important step in his plan, and although he wanted to try his skills, he didn't make talismans right away at the moment. Instead, he flipped it in his hand and took out a talisman.

This is a white rune seal, with mysterious and abnormal runes engraved on it, and you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.

This was actually a low-level illusion talisman that Xu Yang had obtained from Madman Wu, but at this moment, Xu Yang looked quite interested in it.

The mana in Xu Yang's hand was infused into this talisman, and suddenly the aura of the talisman was flourishing, and there was a faint tendency to excite. But when it was about to be excited, it froze.

Xu Yang's eyes were closed, and his face was serious, as if he was probing something.

After a long time, Fu Seal's aura dimmed, and Xu Yang also opened his eyes.

"Whew!" Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight exhaustion in his eyes, and a trace of imperceptible loss hidden. Keeping the sigil in a state of imminent activation requires careful control of the delivery of mana, which makes it a lot of effort.

This was nothing, and what made Xu Yang feel disappointed was that he didn't see anything unusual about this talisman.

He didn't know if it was really ordinary or if it was a problem with his own detection, but he knew that even if he continued to probe now, nothing else would come of it. He could only hope that the mysterious madman Wu would offer an illusion talisman of one hundred and fifty spirit stones, and have this sky-high value.

Although Xu Yang was careful in his heart, he decisively put away the talisman seal in action. And in the reversal of the right hand, a small pile of blank rune paper appeared out of thin air.

He gently stroked the pile of rune paper with his left hand, and immediately noticed that there was a trace of aura emanating from the rune paper.

Blank rune paper can be used to make rune seals, which is naturally not comparable to ordinary paper.

They must be made with first-order spirit grass and spirit wood, and the higher the level of spirit grass and spirit wood, the higher the success rate of making runes.

In order to obtain a large amount of rune paper, the monk took control of the secular power, allowing him to plant a large number of spiritual trees and make rune paper. It is precisely because of this that the price of blank rune paper is very low in the immortal cultivation world.

This was also the reason why Lu Rong would easily give Xu Yang a thousand blank rune papers, which were nothing more than a dozen spirit stones.

But this can be regarded as saving Xu Yang a sum of money, of course he is disrespectful.

Xu Yang put the talisman paper on the ground, but there was an extra delicate cyan vial in his hand.

He gently uncorked the bottle, and the emerald green liquid inside flowed smoothly, and a faint aura suddenly poured into Xu Yang's nostrils, and the richness of this aura was far greater than that emitted by the blank rune paper.

This liquid is naturally the emerald vine wood juice that Lu Rong gave him, and the emerald vine wood is considered to be the top level among the first-order spiritual trees, and the richness of its juice aura is far from being comparable to the ordinary first-order spiritual liquid.

Lu Rong can send this thing, which can be regarded as some sincerity.

After Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction, he put down the cyan vial and took out another item from the storage ring. This is a square stone inkstone with a pitch-black body, which is the black jade stone inkstone given by Lu Rong.

As soon as Xu Yangfang held this inkstone, he felt a strange aura spread from the stone inkstone into his hand, and at the same time, a feeling of soothing his body and mind arose.

After taking a deep breath of heater, Xu Yang looked directly at this stone inkstone. This stone inkstone is pitch black, and the surface does not look outstanding.

However, Xu Yang knew very well that although this ink jade stone inkstone was only made of the lowest grade ink jade, its value was far from being comparable to the blank rune paper and green vine wood juice that Lu Rong had gifted. And using this stone inkstone to make talismans can improve the success rate a lot.

"It's a big deal!" Xu Yang couldn't help muttering in his heart, the other party gave this thing, it seems that he really has the heart to make friends with himself, but Xu Yang is still self-aware.

If he has some background or enough strength, he will really make friends with the other party.

But now he is alone, and his strength is so low, he really has a friendship with the other party, maybe the other party will clean himself up after knowing his details.

At this moment, Xu Yang also has an understanding of those rich children with deep backgrounds. Something worth dozens or hundreds of spirit stones can be given away casually, and it is not comparable to these small cultivators of oneself at all.

Xu Yang had indescribable envy in his heart for this, but these thoughts were pressed to death by him, and he only retained hatred for Tianling Zen Master in his heart.

Xu Yang put down the ink jade stone inkstone, and another thing appeared in his hand.

At this moment, Xu Yang no longer had the calmness of Fang Cai, his eyes stared at the thing in his hand, and he actually revealed a hot color. Needless to say, this is naturally a low-level magic weapon that he purchased at a low price in the Wuheng Palace-Purple Fox Rune Pen.

The snow-white talisman pen and the purple-red and transparent pen body are perfectly combined, revealing a compelling aura. This is the first magic weapon that Xu Yang has, and it is a special magic weapon.

Xu Yang took a deep breath, the spirit gathering technique in his body worked, and a stream of mana was sent into this pen.

"Hum!" An inaudible voice came into Xu Yang's mind, and the purple fox talisman emitted a faint spiritual light, and a soft and quiet feeling filled Xu Yang's heart.

Xu Yang's eyes were clear, but he was overjoyed in his heart, because he knew that this was the added effect of the Purple Fox Rune Pen, a talisman that could make the talisman maker feel peaceful.

Under the effect of this talisman, Xu Yang's heart thumped.

I saw him take a blank rune paper and spread it out, unplug the jade bottle containing the juice of the green vine wood, and pour the juice on the ink jade stone inkstone. These juices do not need to be grinded, and they flow naturally and evenly on the stone inkstone.

As soon as the snow-white bristles of the talisman pen tip were dipped in the spiritual juice on the stone inkstone, Xu Yang's pen immediately forced the blank rune paper in front of him.

The runes of the low-level fire bullet talisman appeared in Xu Yang's mind, and he immediately carved them on the rune paper one by one. He looked so engrossed that he seemed to have forgotten everything around him.

When Xu Yang drew the last stroke, the rune paper spontaneously combusted without wind.

Failed!

Xu Yang sighed lightly in his heart, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into deep thought, and his mind was full of feelings when he drew the talisman just now.

It was only after a full stick of incense that he opened his eyes.

"The pen is not smooth, it should be bolder. Xu Yang muttered, and at the same time, another blank rune paper had been spread out.

The scene just now was staged again, and the Fu Seal spontaneously combusted without wind at the moment when it was finally formed.

failed again, but Xu Yang was not discouraged. Instead, he tried again and again, thinking about the reasons for his failure, and improving his talisman making skills.

Such efforts were not in vain, and this may also be due to Xu Yang's talent and the mastery of the talisman-making skills taught by the mysterious jade slip.

In short, when Xu Yang was making the thirtieth talisman seal, the talisman was formed.

Looking at the talisman in front of him, which seemed to have no aura, Xu Yang's indifferent face showed a smile.

It worked?

No!

Compared with the talisman sold in the stall, the aura content of this talisman is much weaker, and it is just a waste product, and it is not of the slightest use. But compared to just now, Xu Yang's talisman making technique has taken a big step forward.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yang put away the waste talisman seal and took out a blank talisman paper again.

The movement of the talisman is still the same, but it is becoming more and more skillful. Scrap kept coming, and finally, on the fiftieth sheet, the first finished product was finally made.

But Xu Yang's talisman making did not stop at all.

Time kept passing, and Xu Yang made more than a hundred talismans in one go. Finally his hand trembled and he finally stopped.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue, it's that he can't continue. He had made talismans so many times, and the mana in his body had been completely consumed.

That's because his success rate is not high, otherwise his mana would have been exhausted long ago.

Xu Yang put down the talisman pen in his hand and looked at the eight low-level talisman seals on the ground, revealing a deep groan.

More than 100 talismans have been made, but only eight have been successfully made.

It seems that the efficiency is very low, but Xu Yang knows very well that he is only a beginner in making talismans, and the success rate of talisman making will be much higher after getting familiar with it.

"Half of the success rate, it should be considered qualified, right?" Xu Yang muttered, with a look of expectation in his eyes. In order to survive in Xiuxianfang City, one must have extraordinary cultivation or enough spirit stones.

It is difficult for Xu Yang to do the former, so he can only find a way to do it in the latter.

Although he has obtained a lot of spirit stones in the mysterious space. But with such a little spirit stone, not to mention for his cultivation, whether he can live in this city for a long time is a question.

After leaving Fang City, if you want to have enough cultivation to take revenge on the gods, it is simply a fool's dream. Therefore, Xu Yang was forced to find a way to accumulate spirit stones, and the first thing he thought of was the way to make talismans.

In addition to cultivating the Fa Determination Method, immortal cultivators will also be involved in various other skills to some extent.

There are many skills in cultivating immortals, and they are known as the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

Among them, the most common are the four major arts, the four arts of talisman making, refining, alchemy and formation. Talisman makers, refiners, alchemists, and array mages are known as the four golden professions.

Among these four skills, talisman making is the easiest to learn and the least costly. Of course, these four skills require a certain amount of talent, otherwise everything will be in vain.

At the beginning of the talisman, there is a success rate of up to half of the time, which is actually amazing.

Xu Yang didn't know this at the moment, he just thought it was okay.

He put away those talismans and silently breathed to restore his mana. When his mana was fully restored, he began a new round of talisman making.

Xu Yang's time is spent in constant talisman making. When the last blank rune paper was used up, he stopped for a moment.

Then he left Qingfeng Pavilion and went to the Wuheng Hall to sell some of the talisman seals he made, and bought a batch of blank talisman paper and talisman spirit juice to come back.

After returning to Qingfeng Pavilion, what followed was naturally a new round of talismans.

Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past four years, Xu Yang has been staying in Fang City and has not taken a step out of Qingzhou Fang City. He spends most of his time in his own room, except for talisman making, which is the cultivation method.

After these four years, Xu Yang is already a well-known talisman maker in Fang City. Although only some low-level runes can be made, the quality is good, and the success rate of talisman making is quite high.

This is still the result of Xu Yang's deliberate actions, he found a strange thing when he first went to the Wuheng Palace, that is, his success rate in talisman making was ridiculously high!

There are more than 100 initial talismans, and half of the success rate of talisman making, which is definitely the top level among other monks who practice talisman making at the beginning of the year.

When Xu Yang used up the thousand blank runes given by Lu Rong, he already had nearly a hundred low-level fire bullet talismans in his hands.

In the Five Heng Palace, he only took out half of the fire bomb talisman, which surprised Lu Rong, who was present at the time, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Later, he learned that when the average talisman maker first made talismans, he made tens of thousands of talisman seals, and he could reach a half-percent success rate of talisman making, which was already very good.

After Xu Yang learned about this, his heart was also turbulent, and after he made talismans a thousand times, the success rate was nearly 10 percent! Later, when he made 10,000 talismans, the success rate rose sharply to 20 percent.

Now, his talisman success rate has unconsciously climbed to an astonishing figure of nearly 30%.

In the entire Qingzhoufang City, the success rate of making low-level talismans can reach thirty percent, although it is not a handful, but there are definitely not too many.

Among the people Xu Yang knows, only Lu Rong can reach it, and the success rate of ordinary talismans is maintained at about 10%, and he can only barely survive in the Fang City.

Xu Yang has such a high success rate of talisman making, naturally because of the talisman technique.

But he didn't reveal his amazing talisman making skills to anyone, but kept half of the talisman seals he made, and the other half he disguised as different people and secretly sold them in batches.

Although the price is slightly lower than selling at a stall, it is faster, which saves Xu Yang a lot of cultivation time.

While his talisman making technique was advancing more and more, his cultivation of magic techniques was not wasted. After obtaining a large number of spirit stones, he even purchased a lot of elixirs to assist in cultivation.

Not to mention the Spirit Gathering Array in the living room, whenever he cultivated, he would definitely activate this array at the expense of spirit stones. With the help of the elixir and the spirit gathering array, Xu Yang's cultivation naturally improved by leaps and bounds.

It's just that I don't know for what reason, Xu Yang's cultivation actually stopped some time ago.

Xu Yang's current cultivation has reached the peak of the early stage of qi gathering. However, no matter how hard he tried, his cultivation could not break through to the middle stage of Qi Gathering.

He knew that he had encountered a bottleneck, so he bought several pills that broke through the bottleneck of the qi gathering period. It stands to reason that ordinary monks can break through the bottleneck in the early stage of qi gathering with those few pills.

After all, the bottleneck in the early stage of qi gathering is just the easiest cultivation bottleneck for immortal cultivators to break through in the cultivation avenue. Many monks don't even use ordinary pills, and they can naturally break through.

But Xu Yang didn't, even if he took multiple pills in a row that were designed to break through the bottleneck, it seemed that it was a bottleneck that could be broken at any time, and he still didn't move.

His cultivation was pressed to the peak of the early stage of qi gathering, and he couldn't take an inch. This has become a major concern for him recently.

In the past four years, Xu Yang has experienced a lot of things in addition to his success in making talismans and encountering bottlenecks in his cultivation.

For example, after he bought the mysterious jade slip of the Wu madman in Fang City, he was secretly spied on.

After he progressed in cultivation, he had already discovered the people who were watching, but they all left one after another in the past four years.

After all, who would stare at such a person who never leaves the city, even if that person has a lot of money and low strength, you don't have a chance to start!

In addition, because of the making and selling of talismans, Xu Yang dealt with the Wuheng Hall from time to time in the past four years, and gradually deepened his relationship with the five sworn brothers and sisters in the Wuheng Palace, and he was one of the few friends in the Fang City.

In addition to these, one of the things that Xu Yang cared about the most was that he had inquired about the news of Tianling Zen Master in the past four years, either explicitly or secretly.

But the end result was a big disappointment. He only heard that the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master had left the Heavenly Spirit Temple four years ago after killing the people of the Sky Cloud Dao and had disappeared.

In this way, Xu Yang naturally has no chance of revenge.

The outside world was so vast that it was impossible for him to really look for it. What's more, his cultivation is not high now, and when he goes out to the outside world and encounters other immortal cultivators, he doesn't have much power to protect himself.

This delayed Xu Yang's great cause of revenge for four years.

On this day four years later, Xu Yang was in the living room, and the purple fox rune pen in his hand carved the last stroke on the blank rune paper. Suddenly, a full aura came out of the blank rune paper, and a low-level rune seal was formed.

With a faint blue aura, you can guess at a glance that this is a water-attribute talisman seal.

Looking at this talisman, a rare smile appeared on Xu Yang's face.

This rune seal is definitely among the best among the low-level runes, and the water-attribute rune seal is not the type he is best at making. It's extremely rare to be able to do this.

The corners of his mouth curled, and he put the talisman away. But when he continued to make the sigils, he failed several times in a row.

This made his originally good mood suddenly gloomy.

With a light sigh, he put away the talisman making equipment in front of him one by one, but there was not much disappointment on his face, because he had expected it.

What he tried to make later was a mid-level rune seal, although Xu Yang's success rate for low-level runes was as high as thirty percent, but he had never succeeded in a middle-level rune seal.

As early as not long after learning talisman making, he found that he had a very high success rate in making low-level talismans, so after saving a lot of spirit stones, he tried to make a mid-level talisman seal. But the result was that he was dumbfounded, and no matter how much he made it, he couldn't make it.

Even the simplest mid-level transmission notes, many talisman makers can make, he has never succeeded in making sigils. This made him extremely depressed, who had purchased a large number of materials for making mid-level runes and was bent on overcoming the difficulties of mid-level runes.

Now he still makes mid-level talismans from time to time, but he doesn't have much hope, he just wants not to waste the materials in his hand to make mid-level talismans.

But the successive failures still made Xu Yang feel unhappy, and after putting away the talisman making equipment, he stood up and planned to go to the Fang Market to adjust his mood.

He put on his face and hat, pushed the door and left the Breeze Pavilion, wandering around the market. But after walking through the whole bazaar, he didn't buy anything.

Among the things set up in the stall, there are very few things that interest him.

Now, he is just interested in treasures that can break through the bottleneck of cultivation.

But that kind of thing is rare to see in the stalls. Even among the shops, they are extremely rare and extremely expensive.

Xu Yang's few pills that broke through the bottleneck, except for one that was obtained through Bai Liuxian, the fourth elder of Wuyi in the Wuheng Palace, the others were all won at a high price in the auction in the Fang Market. For this reason, he spent almost a sky-high price of spirit stones, but unfortunately he couldn't break through the bottleneck that way.
