Chapter 59: A Difficult Beginning
After making a decision, Lin Quan pretended to buy some ordinary talisman materials and started his talisman making career.
Refining the blank rune paper was very simple, and Lin Quan could easily make it after only a few failures. But when he really started making talismans, he realized that none of the original immortal cultivation arts were really simple. Even with the help of Yin Yang Sanren's experience, his failure rate in making a first-order primary talisman seal was still frighteningly high. A dozen blank rune papers were twelve, and Lin Quan took out three dozen first. At the beginning, I succeeded in making five cards in a row, and I thought that the talisman was nothing more than that. Who would have thought that all the rune papers in the back actually failed. Such an achievement couldn't help but make Lin Quan stunned for a long time.
However, such a small blow also reminded Lin Quan. Although he got the Tai Chi space by chance, it doesn't mean that he can really achieve positive results. Even those geniuses with amazing spiritual root qualifications, if they want to go further on the path of cultivating immortals, they must go down step by step.
After secretly admonishing himself, Lin Quan temporarily gave up continuing to make talismans.
He first calmed down and recalled all the talisman making processes just now, and then took out the experience of Yin Yang Sanren again and carefully studied it word by word. After completely correcting the various mistakes he had made, Lin Quan started work again. And this time, he was very single-minded and began to practice from the small fireball technique. This small fireball rune is a first-order primary rune seal, and it can be said to be the simplest and easiest to learn of all runes. According to the experience of Yin and Yang Sanren, there is only one way to improve the success rate of talisman making, and that is to practice more. Always aim for the same kind of sigil, and after repeated attempts and failures, you can really master the trick. And even then, no one can guarantee their success. It is said that even the most skilled talisman maker will often fail when making his most skilled sigils, and at most they will have a slightly higher success rate than ordinary monks.
Taking Yin Yang Sanren himself as an example, the success rate of his first-order mid-level Great Fireball Talisman Seal was only three to forty percent at most, and this was because he himself had the cultivation of the sixth-layer peak of Qi Condensation, and he had spent more than forty years of hard work on this talisman. It can be said that the Yin Yang Sanren can also be called a master among low-level talisman makers. Finally, in the experience of Yin and Yang Sanren, it is also proposed that the cultivation and spiritual strength of the talisman maker themselves also have a great impact on the success rate of talisman making. If you want to make a talisman seal that is the same level as your own cultivation, the spiritual power and spiritual power spent are extremely huge, and if you are not careful, you will fail due to the lack of spiritual power or spiritual power, instability.
For example, if a talisman maker in the middle stage of condensation has a success rate of three to four percent in crafting a first-order primary talisman, then his success rate in crafting a first-order intermediate talisman will not exceed one percent at most. Therefore, talisman makers generally choose to make a rune seal that is one grade lower than their own cultivation.
Limited by this condition, even the worst first-order primary rune seals in the immortal cultivation world were extremely popular among immortal cultivators in the Qi Condensation Period. As long as the talisman makers can successfully make the sigil and the price is reasonable, they will not be able to sell it at all. After all, even if it is the most basic level of small fireball sigils, if they can release a dozen or so at a time, their power is quite amazing. This kind of one-time immortal cultivation item, which does not consume much spiritual power and is convenient to use, has always been in short supply among low-level cultivators. As long as each monk has a surplus of spirit stones, he will prepare a few talismans for himself. As long as it is used well, it is equivalent to an extra life at a critical moment.
Another three days passed for Lin Quan's research.
During this period, he took the time to go to the restaurants in Fang City to have a handful of chic. After satisfying his appetite a little, he also took the opportunity to buy a few live game from the restaurant. After returning to the cave, he took out a few mature spirit grasses from the Yin-Yang Pagoda and mixed them into a simple refreshing and beneficial qi dispersion for them to take.
When he thought he had gained, he started making talismans again.
The loss of a large amount of blank rune paper may be very painful for ordinary monks, and even some casual cultivators with shallow backgrounds are likely to be depressed because of this. However, it is nothing to Lin Quan, who has the space of the Heaven Defiant Taiji, the horizontal and vertical are just some seven-star kapok, and this kind of spiritual grass that can be used for ten years is only enough from seed to maturity in his Yin Yang Tower. What Lin Quan really needs to spend is nothing more than some special dansha and spiritual spring water for auxiliary use.
In this way, the gate of Lin Quan's cave was closed for more than half a month.
..................
It wasn't until his first month's lease was about to expire that Lin Quan opened the cave mansion. At this time, there were already a lot of newly refined small fireball talismans in his storage bag.
With these results, he went directly to the main square of Lingquanfang City, which was the place where all the casual cultivators conducted their daily transactions. Everyone who wants to set up a stall can receive a license plate as long as they go to the management office of Fang City to pay a certain amount of spirit stone according to the regulations, and they can set up a stall in the corresponding position after having a license plate.
Lin Quan, who had already understood this, only glanced at it and understood, and he quickly received his license plate from the management office, and then set up a temporary stall on the corresponding vacant seat.
After the stall was finished, Lin Quan, who was bored, lay down on the chair leisurely, with a book in his left hand and a small pot in his right hand. Wait quietly.
In less than two hours, the twelve small fireball talisman seals were all sold out, and looking at the eighteen lower-grade spirit stones in his hand, Lin Quan also had a slight sense of accomplishment.
After having the spirit stone, Lin Quan was not in a hurry to return to the cave mansion. He first went to other stalls to buy three dozen blank rune papers, and also bought some dansha and spiritual spring water for making talismans. Enough to look like a talisman. In the end, he took the opportunity to buy a book dedicated to introducing the commonly used spirit grass in the immortal cultivation world, and took the opportunity to buy several commonly used spirit grass seeds that had not been collected in the Tai Chi space.
Of course, it is also logical to go to a restaurant to make a tooth sacrifice after making a little money. Anyway, he has been such a hobby since he was a child. The most important point is that while tasting all kinds of game in the restaurant, you can also hear a lot of strange things about the immortal cultivation world.
For example, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance of the Dajin Kingdom had many conflicts with the Immortal Cultivation Sects of several small surrounding countries because of a medium-sized spirit stone vein some time ago, and many monks fell as a result......
Listening to these strange things in Lin Quan's ears not only gave him a lot of knowledge, but also made him deeply understand the inexplicable danger of the immortal cultivation world.
Fortunately, all this has nothing to do with Lin Quan for the time being. He had already made up his mind anyway, and he would cultivate hard in Lingquanfang City for the time being. Anyway, with his current cultivation, the resources he has in Lingquanfang City are completely sufficient.
