Chapter 5: Gale

"Whew!" Guo An threw down the talisman pen in his hand. A brand-new low-level and mid-level "Fire Dragon Talisman" on the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion table was born from time to time, Guo Anxin was a little proud, "I still have a lot of talent for drawing talismans, and the success rate is not ordinarily high, it is quite high." ”

Alchemy is not an overnight thing. Due to the extreme shortage of spirit stones, Guo An thought of drawing magic runes to make money. So Guo An hit the idea on the dark green jade futon magic weapon painted with the Spirit Gathering Array in the practice room.

This was given by my grandfather when he had just become a Qi cultivation monk, and it was not a rare thing, just a low-level and high-level magic weapon. Several large shops in Chili City have sold them. This is another magic weapon given by a grandfather, and it is strange that he can be pleasing to the eye with the careful eyes of the uncle.

Sell the spirit gathering futon to Guo Xun, a classmate and friend in the school, for 200 spirit stones. Then I bought the "Elementary Basic Talisman" and "Intermediate Basic Talisman" as well as some talisman materials.

Low-level low-level runes are worthless. Not counting the rune pen, a dozen primary and lower-level blank rune paper only costs five spirit stones, plus spiritual power ink, the cost is eight or nine spirit stones. The primary lower-level talismans that have been refined will be sold for one or two low-level spirit stones depending on the type of spell they have.

As for the beginner and mid-level spirit runes, they immediately doubled several times, and they could be sold for six to nine spirit stones, and the defensive spirit runes were a little more expensive than the offensive ones.

But this also needs to consider the issue of yield. The higher the level of the rune, the lower the yield. Without a lot of resource consumption, it is impossible to train a qualified talisman maker. The application range of spirit runes is very wide, especially the low-level spirit runes can be used even by mortals without spiritual power, which is destined to have extremely high strategic value. And a well-known talisman maker with no background background, who does not choose to join a faction, is prone to accidents.

Therefore, in Chili City, except for a few famous talisman makers, the rest of the talisman business is in the hands of a few Xiuzhen families. Most of the talismans who want to be free choose to keep their identities secret and only trade on the black market.

In addition, the talisman materials are not too expensive, but the talisman making books are not ordinarily expensive. Each of the two basic talisman books contains only a dozen or so most common spells, and only describes the general process of talisman making. There are no detailed step-by-step instructions.

In this way, the two books also cost Guo An one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

It seems that the people in the cultivation realm know better that "it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish", but the problem is that everyone does not like to teach, whether it is "fish" or "fish".

Although the family academy is called a school, it is actually just a place to teach the combat experience of the children of the young family. At most, I will teach some basic knowledge of cultivation or some common knowledge in the cultivation realm. Advanced knowledge, practice secret methods, such as the drawing of spirit runes, the refining of elixirs, the refining of magic weapons, etc., are not taught. If you want to learn, go home and find your parents. The most taught is a sense of identity and obedience to the family, in short, brainwashing. In addition, if you think that the professor at home gives you much better than the professor in the school, you can also not come to the school, but you are not eligible to participate in the triennial selection.

The reason why the "Guo An Generation" has a jealous cultivation at a young age is because he has no distractions and is dedicated to cultivation. As a result, there was no valuable spiritual wealth and "intangible heritage" left to the "second generation of Guo An". "What a simple-minded tendon!"

So Guo An gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had to buy it.

After returning home, Guo An memorized and understood the two "cheats" thoroughly, then calmed down and began to try to make talismans.

Spells of the same level, cultivators can cast instantaneous displays without much effort. However, keeping the power of a spell undiminished on the rune paper and in a state ready to be activated is a difficult technical task. It requires extreme patience and care, and a very high degree of control over the spiritual power in the body has taken a lot of time.

There is no doubt that the first three cards must fail.

Take a break, analyze the problem, make bold guesses, summarize carefully, and continue to practice.

Perform meditation to adjust the state to the best, and then continue to make symbols.

Fourth, failure.

Don't be arrogant, not impatient, not discouraged, continue to analyze and summarize.

Then, meditate, adjust the state, and continue to make talismans.

The fifth, again failed.

Scolding the mother, scolding the world and scolding the profiteers. Then continue to summarize and practice.

Sixth, still a failure.

Come on, stop complaining. When the divine sense entered the Purple Mansion Upper Palace, it consumed a lot of soul power to carefully scrutinize, plus checked Wei Dongping's memory, and it was a bypass. The problem was identified and a feasible solution was designed.

Exiting the Purple Mansion, although it didn't take long, Guo An still felt extremely tired. It's like a man who starves to death and insists on running a marathon. Wei Dongping's life vitality has been consumed a little, which is really a bit heart-wrenching. Do the work for a week, rest for half a day, and continue.

The seventh...

The eighth...

The ninth...

。。。。。。

It wasn't until the twentieth that the "Fireball Technique" of the primary lower-level spirit rune was successfully drawn.

It's not easy! It took three whole days, entering the Purple Mansion space twice, devoting myself wholeheartedly to figuring it out, and figuring out the principles and steps before it succeeded. This is a practice that has opened a "plug-in" and wants to change to another person, and even moderately wealthy families cannot afford such a practice. What's more, there are also primary intermediate spirit runes, primary high-level spirit runes, intermediate 。。。。。。

Everywhere, the intellectual property rights of patented formulas are confidential.

Since the door is open, let's take the hot iron and continue the pursuit. Try refining a beginner intermediate spirit rune.

After three failures, he once again entered the Purple Mansion simulation deduction, and finally mastered the drawing method of the mid-level spirit rune.

Even the junior and high-level spirit runes, although there are no "cheats", Guo An has also roughly deduced it. I found that my current cultivation was not enough to draw high-level spirit runes. In addition, the talisman pen in his hand is too low-level. Moreover, without high-level rune paper, it cannot carry high-level spells.

With Guo An's highly sensitive and highly inspired divine soul, plus the time it took to meditate and practice to restore the spiritual power in his body, it took him another five days to draw more than ten middle-level spirit runes and dozens of low-level spirit runes of various spells.

"Hey, draw the spirit runes, work hard. Although overcoming all kinds of difficulties, mastering many skills, and watching the spirit runes drawn in his hands, I feel quite a sense of accomplishment. However, in addition to strengthening the understanding of the Dao and improving the proficiency in using the Dao Fa, it does not promote cultivation but consumes a lot of time. Unless it is a specialized talisman cultivator, it is difficult for a talisman maker to become a great way. I should take this as a warning, and remember that the talisman is only a means to my ends. Guo An secretly admonished himself.

Called Uncle Chen, handed over a stack of middle-level spirit runes to Uncle Chen, and instructed: "These eleven spirit runes, you keep one for yourself, and give the rest to the Lu family's "Baiquan Pavilion", I have already told the Lu family." Then bring in the people you mentioned last time. ”

The Lu family, where grandma was born, is the family that runs the talisman. And the power of the mother's Yang family is too weak. As a newcomer to talisman making, there are some unspoken rules that must be followed. Attached to the Lu family, although it will be exploited a little, it is better to be safe and stable. Besides, he doesn't plan to get involved in talisman making for long. His goal at this stage is to make money for alchemy. But the cheapest Dan furnace also costs five hundred spirit stones, and the consumption of various medicinal materials is still uncountable.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your great kindness!" Chen Boxi looked at his face and bowed down to thank him. The power of low-level and low-level spirit runes, Chen Bo is desperate to see if he can block it, and it is still between the two. And a low-level and mid-level spirit rune can be regarded as a family heirloom for ordinary people who don't have monks.

After a few words of encouragement, Uncle Chen let him go out to do errands.

After eating a "Pei Yuan Dan", after half a day of meditation, the spiritual power consumed in the body was completely restored. Guo An swept away his tiredness and was refreshed.

Chen Bo had also returned, bringing back some talisman materials and thirty spirit stones for himself, and bringing three people.

One is a warrior in his fifties with a national character face, who is slightly old after being weathered, but his eyes are very bright. Guo An sensed it carefully, he should be an innate martial artist.

One was a literati in his forties. The temperament is elegant, and every move is very in line with etiquette, which makes people feel close.

The last one is a middle-aged man in his thirties. Medium stature, ordinary appearance, a little wooden at first glance, it is a lower riba person. But if you look closely at his eyes, you can find a hint of agility, a character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

"The villain Ba Qingshan, Gu Fengdong, Lin Lisong visited the son. I wish Gongzi a great success and a long life. The three of them bowed respectfully. At this time, the three of them were not Guo An's subordinates, so they did not have to kneel.

"No courtesy. Guo An ordered the three of them to get up and look at Uncle Chen beside him.

Chen Bo understood, pointed to the martial artist on the right and said, "This is Ba Qingshan, the patriarch of the Bajiazhuang Ba clan in Zhuxipo next to the Baifeng Ridge in the south, and a martial artist in the congenital stage. It's still my junior brother. Due to the disaster caused by the violent tooth golden ape coming down the mountain in Baifengling this year, the production of the "fire rice" planted in Bajiazhuang was greatly reduced, and the task grain could not be handed over. Senior Brother Ba begged for my door, and it happened that Gongzi needed manpower, so I brought him here. ”

Chen Bo pointed to the scribe in the middle and said, "Gu Fengdong, familiar with poetry and books, proficient in hundreds of miscellaneous studies. It was originally the gentleman in the account room of Guo Chen, a monk in the foundation building period of "Yanling Garden". Guo Chen went on a mission with the old lady a month ago and unfortunately died, Yan Lingyuan changed the main family, and Gu Fengdong left Yan Lingyuan. ”

Finally, he pointed to the middle-aged man and said: "This is Lin Lisong, nicknamed "wood". The leader of a small gang in Xicheng District. The boss who originally followed, "Li Cripple", died last month, and he didn't want to follow the current boss who killed "Li Cripple", so he ran to the gang himself. ”

After listening to Uncle Chen's introduction, Guo An nodded and said, "Okay." Since you were introduced by Uncle Chen, then I will use you for the time being. I don't care what you used to do, now that you've joined the "Great Wind Hall", you have to work with peace of mind in the future. If you dare to betray me inside and out, I will take your life even if I am punished, and I will not let go of your family. ”

Of all the orthodox monk forces, whether it is the righteous path or the demonic path, the monk cannot kill civilians at will.

When the three of them heard this, their hearts sank, and they knelt down and said "don't dare, don't dare." The "little doll" in his teens on the seat in front of him was an authentic fifth-level monk in the Qi cultivation period, and no matter how young he was, he couldn't be despised by himself and others. What's more, there is a big family behind this child. Since he had made up his mind to devote himself to his door, he also knelt down and determined his belonging.

In this world where there is an absolute hierarchy, although monks are not allowed to wantonly kill mortals, after killing, if the mortals do not have a deep background, the monks will be punished according to the nature of the mortals. Generally, it is just a confiscation of spirit stones.

"If you are faithful to me and effective in your work, I will not be stingy in rewarding you. In the future, as my cultivation improves, you will be able to get more than you can imagine, and you can even start a family. Do you understand?"

"I cultivated at a young age, and I was still a child of a big family. What is a potential stock, this is a potential stock. When will you not get closer when he has no one under him now?" The three of them said in unison: "I am willing to recognize Gongzi as the master, serve Gongzi to the death, be loyal to Gongzi, and never betray." ”

Guo An was very satisfied with the performance of the three, but he knew in his heart that "the lord chooses the minister, and the minister chooses the lord", if the three of them become their diehards, it depends on the performance of both parties in the future. Although he is not a snarky person, he also does not raise waste.

Took out three porcelain vases from the storage bag, "I have high requirements for my subordinates, I must have strong work ability, and my cultivation cannot be left behind, at least there must be a congenital period." These three bottles of "Xiao Huandan" are rewarded to you, and it is not enough to come to me to get them, I only have one request: after half a year, Gu Fengdong and Lin Lisong, the two of you must cultivate to reach the innate stage, and you Ba Qingshan must reach the middle stage of the innate stage. If you don't meet my requirements, don't step into my threshold in the future. ”

"Xiao Huandan" is useless for monks, but it is powerful for warriors. The acquired martial artist only needs a "small return pill" to greatly improve his skills. Guo An's three bottles of "Xiao Huandan" each have ten pills, which is enough for them to use for half a year.

The three of them listened to Guo An's words, and their hearts were pang again. At this moment, they no longer dared to look at the teenager in front of them as a child. This young man is not a stupid big head who can be coaxed by himself and others. is so wise and martial, no wonder he has such a high level of cultivation at a young age, he is worthy of being the young master of the monk family, and his natural ability is superior, and in the future, he should play a twelve-point spirit to do things for the little master in front of him. Thinking of the promise mentioned by the little master, he must have a bright future.

Looking at the porcelain vase in Guo An's hand, the three of them were happy and afraid, happy more than afraid. Ba Qingshan's face was happy, and it seemed that he was very confident that he would make a breakthrough. Gu Li and the others were slightly worried, after all, they were not martial artists who concentrated on cultivation. But they all know the value of "Little Returning Dan", no matter whether they meet Guo An's requirements in the future, at least now they want the "Little Returning Dan" in Guo An's hands very much.

Looking at the eagerness in the eyes of the three people, Guo An was very satisfied. There is a saying that goes, "I'm not afraid that you have desires, but I'm afraid that you don't have desires." I can give it to you, and I can take it back. "As a strong man, you have the determination to be in control. As a cultivator, in the face of mortals, regardless of age, a cultivator should have transcendent awareness.

Stopping the three of them from continuing to express their determination, Guo An said: "You go out first and wait outside the door." ”

The trio cautiously exited the study.

Chen Bo turned to the opposite side of Guo An, bowed his head and saluted, ready to accept the command.

"Chen Bolao, you bothered, and in the future, the "Dafeng Hall" will be handed over to you to take care of. For the three of them, I hope you don't live up to my expectations. Guo An said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for the young master's trust, Chen Tongtai will not let the young master down. Chen Bo's full name is Chen Tongtai, and the word "no disease".

Guo An nodded, didn't say anything, and handed over the three bottles of "Xiao Huandan" to Uncle Chen. Reaching up, Uncle Chen bent down knowingly, and Guo An patted Uncle Chen's shoulder comfortingly and encouragingly. Then he waved his hand to signal Uncle Chen to leave.

Chen Bo Shili left.

Guo An recalled the scene just now: a young man with a short stature who only reached his chest looked serious like a leader, patted the shoulder of the tall old man, and seemed to say: "Little ghost, do a good job, I am optimistic about you." And the old man was like a subordinate, and for the convenience of the young man, he deliberately bent down respectfully to let the young man shoot, and he was very honored.

It's quite a joy!

But that's just the way it is. Guo An and Chen Bo have a closer relationship than leaders and subordinates, they are master and servant. Although Guo An is young, he is the undisputed master, and Chen Bo, although he is old, is undoubtedly a servant. In the past, Uncle Chen regarded Guo An as the care and care of his nephews, but from this moment on, Uncle Chen corrected his position and was a servant.

This is the difference between a monk and a mortal. The monk wields power far beyond mortals, and his status should be above that of the commoners. The idea that everyone is equal has no market here, and that is a big rebellion. Because the world is dangerous everywhere, civilians need people of great power to protect them.

For example, Ba Qingshan, he needs monks to expel the apes from the Bamboo Valley for them. It was not an ordinary ape, but a sharp-toothed golden retriever ape, born with a high IQ, capable of tearing tigers and leopards, and walking as fast as the wind. Among the civilians, only the innate warriors can be defeated. And the three thousand mortals in the Bamboo River Valley only have more than ten innate martial artists, and they can't prevent it at all.

Experiencing Uncle Chen's change, Guo An was stunned, but more joyful. Being respected makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the eternal pursuit of fame and fortune.

Guo An understands that this is vanity. Vanity can be there because it makes people progress. Guo An was a little flirtatious.

Suddenly, Guo An was clever, his mind was sober for a while, and he had received so many years of "correct three-view education" plus a half of life memories, "When can vanity be there?"

"This is the demon of the heart, the heart of the calamity!" Wei Dongping's memory was triggered, telling Guo An: If he is not vigilant and let it lurk, he will explode at a critical moment in the future.

Guo An hurriedly read: "Everything is like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity." It should be viewed as such. ”

After a long time, Guo An's mind calmed down. The mood has not improved, but the spirit seems to be a little different from before, and the sense of thought seems to be clearer and smoother. I tried casting a spell and it felt more handy.

Holding back his joyful heart, Guo An high-level himself:

"You can't just climb out of one quagmire and fall into another. ”

"Keep your mind at bay. ”

stabilized the realm, Guo An had a realization: this is the total outbreak of joy, worry, thought, and fear from his own seizure and the excessive future. This is also a catastrophe, although it is impossible to live a small life, but over time will change your personality and three views, and then let yourself not be able to make a correct judgment on things, and at a critical moment due to misjudgment and no return. Fortunately, he was alert and held his heart. I couldn't help but sigh: Eternal life and many calamities!

Guo An turned around and returned to the practice room.
