After Zhao Di practiced the fireball technique very proficiently, he went to the Chuangong Pavilion again to find Uncle Li. This time, for some reason, there were not many people, but he was able to ask Uncle Li for advice for most of the afternoon, and the harvest was really not small. Not only did he get another defensive surname spell - the mantra of "King Kong Cover" in the metal surname spell, but also confirmed some of his experience in the practice of fireball technique, Uncle Li also explained some tips on the use of spells by the way, which can be said to have benefited Zhao Di a lot.

In this way, Zhao Di spent more than half a year learning four or five primary spells in the Qi refining period that he could master, and then began to practice the abacus of talisman making.

Painting requires at least three tools – paper, brushes, and paint. There are also three things that are essential for making talismans - talisman paper, talisman pen and dansha.

Ordinary paper in the world has no spiritual power, nor can it withstand spiritual power, and cannot be used as rune paper. Runic paper is usually made of aura-containing plants and trees, such as seven-star grass, etc.

The talisman pen used to make talismans, of course, is best also a spiritual object, at least the pen used is generally the mane of some spirit beasts. As for Dansha, it was also refined from the spiritual blood of low-level spirit beasts.

Zhao Di didn't have any of these things, the only thing he had was the styles of several low-level talismans he saw in a book called "Basic Runic Fragments" in the Library Pavilion. And Zhao Di had already begun to practice the graphic runes on the talisman with ordinary paper and pencil repeatedly, and he had already done it well.

These three things are actually not rare in the immortal cultivation world, and there are many people in the Jian family who have them. After Zhao Di inquired for a while, he targeted Jian Li, a **-year-old child.

One of Jian Li's own uncles is in Jian's family, and he also holds a middle-level position, and his uncle usually likes to make talismans, and he must have these low-level talisman utensils. And Jian Li was only at the third level of the Qi refining stage now, and it was the time when he needed a large number of low-grade pills to enhance his cultivation. Zhao Di offered three grains of Qi Gathering Dispersion in exchange, asked Jian Li to help him exchange some low-grade rune paper and dansha, and lent him a rune pen to use for a short time.

Jian Li agreed almost without hesitation, this uncle usually loves him the most, and he only changed to the lowest-level rune paper dansha, it must be no problem, as for whether the rune pen is easy to borrow, I am not sure.

Within a few days, Jian Li took the initiative to find Zhao Di and handed Zhao Di two dozen low-level rune papers, a vial containing a small amount of dansha and an ordinary-looking rune pen, and finally said that if necessary, it can be exchanged, and the next exchange will still be three grains of Qi Disperse.

Zhao Di could only smile bitterly in his heart, these few grains of Qi Gathering Powder were all accumulated after he suspended his cultivation, and he could only receive one pill every month, and all of the Qi Gathering Powder in the past half a year had already been used up, so how could he still exchange it.

......

Half a year later, on the day Zhao Di turned fifteen years old, Zhao Di received a package as scheduled. Inside, there are two defensive Vajra charms and three stones of different sizes and colors. The next day, Zhao Di and his package were "invited" out of the Nanhua Mountain Canyon.

At this time, Zhao Di's belongings were only the packages of the family reward before leaving, the more than a dozen talismans and a knife-like low-grade magic weapon that he made with his own hands, and the small medicine bottle that Jian Xin'er had stuffed into him before leaving, which contained seven or eight grains of Qi Gathering Dispersion.

Jian Xin'er was already a cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Period, and she was one of the core disciples of the family, she couldn't use this low-level elixir, presumably these were specially prepared by her for Zhao Di. Thinking of this, Zhao Di accepted it without too much shirk.

Speaking of which, Jian Xin'er really grew up with his childhood sweetheart. I remember that when she was two or three years old, Jian Xin'er had just been sent to Jane's house, and she missed her parents every night and couldn't sleep, and she was also grateful to Zhao Di to tell stories every night to coax her to sleep.

For Jian Xin'er, the little brother in front of her is not much older than herself, but he can tell many interesting stories, such as the Yellow Emperor vs. Chiyou, Nuwa Fairy Mending the Sky and Creating Man, etc., all of which she had never heard before. This went on for more than a year, and it didn't stop until the two of them started practicing the Immortal Method. In Jian Xin'er's opinion, this "Brother Wugen" is undoubtedly her relative.

Later, Zhao Di concentrated on cultivation, and the contact with this little sister became less and less. Later, because of Jian Xin'er's good qualifications and rapid cultivation, she was specially cultivated by the elders of the Jian family as a core disciple, and Zhao Di met her even less, although they were in the same canyon, it was rare to see her once in a year or two.

Every time this little girl saw Zhao Di, she had to pull his arm and shout "Brother Wugen, Brother Wugen" non-stop, which always made Zhao Di, who was used to being ridiculed by everyone, feel a little warmth in his heart.

Jian Xin'er praised him for his talent in talisman making, which is really such a thing. When Zhao Di tried to make a fireball talisman for the first time, after only a dozen failures, he successfully made a fireball talisman, and then the success rate was not lower than two percent. In the end, five or six fireball talismans were refined. Later, he asked for the surname to exchange all the Qi Gathering Powder for rune paper, and continued to practice the making of fireball talismans and vajra talismans. After wasting a hundred or dozens of rune papers, he finally succeeded in making two Vajra runes and a dozen fireball runes, and he was already very satisfied with the results. His success rate is already much higher than the rumors, I don't know if the rumors are exaggerated, or if he really has some talent in talisman making.

It's a pity that he doesn't have more time to practice these two talismans more proficiently, and he has already reached the age limit of "going out to practice", which is really helpless.

If Jian Xin'er is asked to intercede for him, with the situation that this little girl is favored in the Jian family, there is a great hope that she will stay in the family for a short time. But Zhao Di refused to do this, he would faintly resist Jian Xin'er's help in his heart, this help made him feel useless, and he still needed the protection of a little girl.

His current plan was to reach a gathering place for immortal cultivators in the north of Gunzhou as soon as possible, where it was called "Liuyunfang City".

Liuyunfang City is jointly managed by the two immortal cultivation families of the Liu family and the Yun family in its vicinity, as well as the small sect Lihuo Sect. This fang market is mainly open to young monks of the low and intermediate levels of the Qi refining period, and is used to trade some items. Zhao Di planned to make and sell talismans there, and if there was a surplus, he could buy some pills to improve his cultivation.

There is a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers from Nanhuashan Canyon to Liuyunfang City, and there are many places to pass, but Zhao Di has already remembered these clearly.

Now he came to a mountainside on the periphery of Nanhua Mountain, and Zhao Di had already walked the mountain road all day. There are two roads in front of him, one is closer, after turning over the hill in front of him, he will enter a forest with a large area, and he will have to walk in the forest for three or four days, and then he will climb over a few small hills, and then he can get out of the Nanhua Mountains. At his current rate, if he was to travel during the day and rest at night, it would take about seven or eight days.

But this forest is not simple, in the classics of the Jian Family Library Pavilion, there are several places that mention that this forest occasionally has several low-level demon beasts, and there has even been a second-level demon beast with a body length of seven or eight meters, a one-horned cow. Although after so many years, the high-level monks of the Jian family have almost killed the nearby demon beasts, but with the powerful reproductive ability of the demon beasts, no one can guarantee that there are still some low-level demon beasts left somewhere.

How did such a terrifying thing as a demon beast come about, there is no unified statement in the immortal cultivation world. Some people say that ordinary beasts, insects and birds have lived in some places with particularly strong spiritual energy for a long time, or after devouring some spiritual grass and spiritual objects, they mutated and transformed into species with spiritual power.

There are also some monks who believe that in the ancient period when the heavens and the earth were opened up and chaos began, there were demon beasts, even before the appearance of humans. Moreover, these ancient demon beasts are all extremely powerful, and the current demon beasts have only inherited a small part of the bloodline of the ancient demon beasts.

Regardless of what you say, it is certain that demon beasts not only have the same spiritual power as monks, but also can cultivate and grow according to instinct, and even the division of the cultivation realm is very similar to that of human monks.

According to the strength of the spiritual power of the demon beasts, they can be divided into level 1 to level 7 demon beasts, of which the first-level demon beasts correspond to the monks of the Qi refining period of humans, the second- to fourth-level demon beasts correspond to the early, middle, and late stage of foundation building, and the fifth-level to seventh-level monks are the monks of the Dan period corresponding to humans.

It is rumored that there are even demon beasts above level seven, but they have never been mentioned in detail in the classics of the Jian family. This kind of high-level demon beast must not be something that a small immortal cultivator like the Jian family can access.

Although the spiritual intelligence of demon beasts is not as good as that of human cultivators, they often have some natural abilities of great supernatural powers, or they have a strong body like steel and iron bones, and their strength is not inferior to that of human immortal cultivators of the same level. There are even some types of demon beasts whose strength is far above that of human cultivators of the same level.

However, every year, many monks are willing to take the risk to break into some hidden demon beast locations and hunt all kinds of demon beasts.

A small half of the monks eventually died under the claws of the demon beasts, and of course, there were even more low-level demon beasts who died because of this. But with the powerful reproductive ability of demon beasts, as long as they are given a short period of time, they can reproduce many offspring.

The ability to attract monks to hunt and kill without regard to their own safety is driven by huge interests, because for immortal cultivators, demon beasts are treasures.

All demon beasts above the second level will cultivate into something called Neidan in their bodies, similar to the dantian of human monks. It can be said that almost all of the demon beasts' spiritual cultivation is in this inner pill, once they lose their inner pills, the demon beasts will not only lose their cultivation, but most of them will also lose their lives.

To human monks, this Inner Dan is an extremely precious good. Not only can it be used to refine magic weapons and even magic weapons, but the elixir of refining the inner pill as the main material is also an important means for monks to improve their cultivation or break through bottlenecks.

Not only the inner pill, but also many parts of the demon beast's body, such as its head and horns, scale armor, and finger claws, are usually extremely hard or innate with some incredible magical powers, which can be used to refine magic weapons and even magic weapons.

There are dozens of books in the library that specialize in matters related to demon beasts, which shows how many types of demon beasts there are and how much importance immortal cultivators attach to them.
