Chapter 23: Making a Talisman (Part II)
Most of the professors are worried, but the people involved are unaware, they just feel confident.
Especially the students of the spell department, one by one, they felt that they were full of the power of the wilderness.
In the past few days, they feel that their brains have become much more flexible, and their spirits and divine thoughts have been rising even more, and the techniques and knowledge that were difficult to master or control before seem to be much simpler, including talisman making, of course.
They all felt that there was no difficulty in the nine-grade talisman, even if they could make it with their eyes closed and their feet, that is, super-level things were worth recognizing.
In fact, many of them want to go beyond the second order and go directly to the seventh-grade rune. However, thinking of the repeated advice of the professors in advance, in the end, I still felt that I was low-key, and I was only a big step ahead of my previous level.
As for why this happened, they didn't think about it, they probably just thought: I am lucky, and I am hanging like this!
Why didn't you hang like this before?
That's just that we haven't woken up, can't we be late bloomers?
Because there are half-height fences on three sides of the talisman table, they can't see what their classmates are doing, so they think that they are the only ones who are exceeding the standard, and they are very confident that they will get a good score this time, which will shock the students.
And they don't have time to care about others at this time, they are all making talismans seriously.
Su Lei was no exception, he was inscribed on the pillar of the "Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyes Mantra". The three chips he was going to make this time were all of the seventh grade, in addition to the "Fire Eye Golden Eye Mantra", there were also "Tianfu Divine Thunder Descending Spell" and "Five Elements Law Forbidden".
The "Fiery Eye Spell" is a fairly commonly used seven-rank spell that allows the recipient to see through the darkness caused by ordinary spells, see what is hidden by spells, see the true location of objects affected by visual spells, see invisible creatures or objects, see through illusions, see the true appearance of shapeshifters, and also see the spirit world.
Modern talisman making is to engrave the corresponding cloud seal and spirit pattern on the chip, use divine thoughts to map the cloud seal and spirit pattern into the sea of knowledge, import the void to restore it into regular text to build a spell model, and at the same time input spiritual power to keep the configuration from falling apart. This process is equivalent to building a model in Zhihai before casting the spell.
In ancient times, because the monks had to draw by themselves, it was equivalent to using two minds, so except for the charms that they were particularly familiar with, the success rate was quite low. The exception is runes, of course.
The modern talisman making is different, the work of inscribed runes is done by machines, and the pattern can be divided without being distracted, and the maker only needs to focus on building the model without distraction, so the success rate is not comparable to ancient times.
The early carving knife was cemented carbide or diamond, and now the laser knife is commonly used for photoengraving, the effect is better and more stable than the alloy knife and diamond knife, and the knife mark is smaller, and the talisman can be miniature carved.
The development trend of modern talismans is getting smaller and smaller, and the initial storage chip was the size of a postcard, and then with the advancement of technology, it became smaller and smaller, and now it is only the size of half a cigarette.
Because the constructed spell model is not shaped, the cloud seals and spirit patterns that make up the talisman are only used to guide the construction of the spell model, and their size and stroke thickness do not affect the effect, and theoretically the talisman can be infinitely small. It's just that the current level of energy-producing spiritual coating is insufficient, so it has to be so large, otherwise the cost will be too exaggerated.
With the movement of the head ......of the light knife, the mutton fat jade rune embryo is accurately engraved with various cloud seals and spirit patterns, the light knife is very fast and extremely accurate, each line is extremely uniform, and the rune is formed at a very fast speed.
When all the talismans were engraved, a hollow tip stretched out and followed the trajectory of the light knife repeatedly, the head was like a very thin syringe, and as it moved, the spiritual paint was continuously injected into the nicks.
The cinnabar ink used in ancient talismans is also a kind of "spiritual paint" that ancient monks have explored, but its performance is too low, and modern talismans have eliminated it.
Instead of a new type of hybrid coating, the main material also has cinnabar, in addition to silver, alumina, copper oxide and rare earth elements and other materials ground into fine particles mixed in a certain proportion, after a special process treatment, and then added special binders to make it.
This process is called "painting" or "coloring", and this process is the most important.
In this process of "scribbling", the maker needs to constantly use divine thoughts to guide spiritual power, build a spell model and maintain stability. If the divine mind or spiritual power is insufficient and cannot keep up with the "Tu Fu", the model cannot be built, and the talisman will be abolished.
The level of the maker is reflected here, the "scribble" process must not be too fast, otherwise it will be too late to build the model, and it must not be too slow, otherwise the model will not be built. This is the process of making a real talisman, and it cannot be interrupted in the middle, otherwise the talisman will fail and the talisman embryo will be abolished.
Su Lei seemed to be familiar with it, he closed his eyes and did not look at the pen, but used his divine thoughts to feel the spiritual paint extending on the lines.
His spiritual power smoothly fed into the spiritual paint, skillfully channeling cloud seals and spirit patterns into the void, reducing them to regular bricks and tiles, and gradually shaping them into a three-dimensional spell model between existence and non-existence according to his ideas.
"It's done!"
Five minutes later, Suray opened his eyes.
The model of the "Fiery Eye Spell" was successfully built into the void inside the pillar, and it was a diamond-like structure.
The cloud seals and spirit patterns, which represent part of the rules of the avenue, are no longer two-dimensional patterns, but appear vividly in every key part of the model in a three-dimensional state. The spiritual power line and the spiritual power node connect them according to a certain logic, and finally form an existence that can transform the original energy in the origin into supernatural effects.
"It was perfect!"
He didn't need to check, he knew that the talisman was perfect, and he was able to build the model as smoothly as he could.
Every cloud seal and spirit pattern was placed in the most suitable place, and every spiritual power line and every node were established and crossed perfectly, without the slightest delay or hesitation, during which there was almost no thought, everything was natural, as if they were supposed to be here.
He immediately operated the talisman machine to carry out the final process of the talisman pillar - encapsulation.
This process is actually the simplest, and there is no technical content. A nozzle reached out and sprayed a special layer of quick-drying gel over the entire pillar.
This layer of gel is a transparent polymer compound, which is mainly used to prevent those subtle nicks on the chip and the guiding paint in it from being polluted, damaged or oxidized by the outside world. But also because of this simple process, the service life and use times of modern talismans have been greatly improved.
Ancient Dao talismans are basically one-time consumables, and they can't be stored for a long time when they are gone, so they basically have to be used as soon as possible. With the assistance of the terminal, modern Dao symbols can be used many times and will not be invalid if stored for a long time.
"Looks good......
Su Lei put on his gloves and took out the talisman pillar from the talisman machine and looked at it in front of him.
The finished rune pillar has red-gold complex runes on it, and the original mutton fat jade material has also been slightly changed due to the infusion of a large amount of spiritual energy. Looking at the sunlight, there seemed to be clouds flowing inside, and it looked even brighter, as if it was glowing.
The runes on it are too small for ordinary people to see clearly, and of course this thing was not originally used to see. The monks didn't look at it much with their eyes, they all took their hands, and their divine senses scanned the spell model, and they knew what kind of spell it was.
Su Lei put this rune pillar into a box dedicated to holding the rune pillar, and without the slightest pause, he began to make the next one.
The completion of this pillar made the judges on the rostrum sensational.
He ...... He actually completed a seventh-grade talisman!
One of the judges was still calmly tasting tea, but now he lost control of his emotions on the spot, crushed the teacups, and the hot tea flowed all over his hands. But he didn't know it.
"It's really a seven-rank talisman, how is it possible? He's only a nine-rank cultivator, he can complete it from the seventh-rank talisman to the sky, and the difficulty of the seventh-grade talisman is at least three times that of the seventh-rank talisman!"
The red-faced professor of the Stone Chamber Mountain Daoist Academy was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
He was very reluctant to believe it, but he was ruthlessly snapped by the facts.
This professor just released all his divine sense, on the one hand, to observe the student's talisman making, and on the other hand, to invigilate the exam. Of course, he noticed the aura fluctuations when he became a talisman, and the spell fluctuations of the seventh grade could not be faked.
Vice Dean Zhang trembled at this moment, and he said in a light tone: "What's impossible? Su Lei is the chief student of our Aoshan, and it is normal for him to make a seven-rank talisman. Jin Daoyou, don't make such a fuss, can't you students from Shimuro Mountain......"
"......" Professor Jin was suffocated by this breath, and his original face was blue and white for a while.
He wanted to deny it, but thinking of the level of his own students, he really had nothing to say.
If they want to make a seven-rank run, a few top students may be so possible, but no one can take a risk in such an important exam. Of course, it's a bull fork, but if it's messed up, it's a shame.
As for the positive seven-pint talisman, dream, there is everything in the dream.
With each level of something like a talisman, the difficulty does not progressive, but increases exponentially.
As for the professors on Aoshan's side, they all breathed a sigh of relief in surprise. With Su Lei's amazing performance, even if other students fail in the exam, there is a saying.
Lu Sheng Lu Zhenren of the Evil Suppression Society also came, but he was not a judge. He was now sitting in the VIP seat with another monk in similar costume.
"How is it?Old Wu, do you still think I gave him seven grades?" Lu Zhenren smiled.
"It's not high! It's not high! It's not high! You really have a vision! With this hand-made talisman ability, it's completely appropriate to give a seven-grade treatment!" This Wu Zhenren's eyes were about to glow.
He was full of praise: "...... If the weight is light, the clouds are smooth, and the whole process of forming the talisman is done in one go, which can be called flawless! Even if I come, it is impossible to do better, does he really only have nine grades of cultivation?"
