Chapter 114: Talisman Assessment, Upper Rank Spirit Rune
In the main hall of the Fu Gong Department.
Many talismans came one after another, along with their respective apprentices, and it didn't take long for the vast hall to be filled with people.
Li Mu stood in the middle of the crowd, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes did not squint.
The white-robed young man who had gone out earlier followed behind a blue-robed man and slowly walked into the main hall from the main entrance.
There was a commotion among the crowd, and the old men with their eyes closed also opened their eyes, stood up, and respectfully bowed to the blue-robed man. The man in the green robe nodded and walked to the main seat and sat down.
An old man who looked to be over sixty years old asked in surprise, "It's just a nameless boy's talisman assessment, why did it alarm the hall master?"
Speaking of which, over the years, there have been many people who have come here for the talisman assessment, but there is no one as young as Li Mu, and some people obviously have not reached the level of a first-class talisman master, but they want to gain fame and hone their skills through the talisman assessment. When the old man saw that Li Mu was young and had a young face, he thought that he had this kind of thought.
The man in the green robe didn't answer, but asked Li Mu, "Are you the Li Mu that Uncle Lingmu brought back to the mountain gate?"
"It's the disciple," Li Mu said respectfully.
"You have cultivated to the Innate Great Perfection realm?"
"Yes. β
There was a commotion in the crowd, and these people obviously knew about Li Mu's reputation.
"When did you learn the art of talismans, and with whom?"
Li Mu had long expected him to ask such a question, so he replied directly: "When the disciple entered, Lingmu Zhenren gave me a jade cylinder, which contained some simple sigils, and I studied it on my own in addition to practice. β
The blue-robed man's eyes changed, and he asked, "Study on your own?" How many kinds of runes have you mastered now, and what is the success rate of drawing?"
"Twelve kinds of sigils, the success rate is about fifty percent. "The next fifty percent is naturally made up by Li Mu, if he says his ten percent success rate, it is estimated that the saliva of everyone present can drown him.
However, he obviously underestimated the lethality of his above sentence, and as soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately began to talk about it.
"He's only been a year old?"
"How can it be possible to master twelve sigils in a year, not to mention that there is a fifty percent success rate!"
"And he studied it on his own, and he was self-taught. β
"He must be lying!"
"Yes!"
"That's right!"
Li Mu looked determined, and he didn't care about these people's opinions at all. The blue-robed man looked at Li Mu up and down with a strange look in his eyes, and then asked, "Do you dare to accept our assessment?"
"The disciple is here for this matter, why don't you dare?"
"Okay!" the blue-robed man's eyes showed appreciation, and then he frowned, "Silence!"
Everyone's hearts sank, and they immediately closed their mouths and looked at this person with their eyes.
"According to the assessment regulations, you can only use the talisman pen, talisman paper and dansha provided by our department, do you have any objections?"
"There is no objection. Li Mu smiled secretly in his heart, presumably the Fu Gong Department could not find a worse talisman pen for him.
"For the assessment of a first-grade rune, it is generally completed in three days, the first day to draw four spirit runes, the second day to draw three spirit runes, and the third day to draw the last three spirit runes. As long as the success rate reaches more than 40%, it will be considered to have passed the assessment. β
"In addition, the time to draw each spirit rune should not exceed one hour, and those who exceed it will be considered a failure. β
"In the assessment in the main hall of my rune department, with the blessing of the "small maze array" of my rune department, the success rate of drawing of the rune master can be improved, that is to say, as long as the success rate of a rune master reaches more than three percent, it will meet the standard of the rune assessment. Since you have a fifty percent success rate in drawing runes, and you claim to have mastered twelve kinds of runes, you can naturally be assessed. β
Under the command of the man in the green robe, someone had already prepared the standard talisman pen, talisman paper and cinnabar, and some people had brought tables and chairs.
The middle-aged man motioned for Li Mu to sit down, and then said, "There are ten rune papers on the table, as long as you use these ten rune papers to successfully draw four different spirit runes within ten hours, you will pass today's assessment." β
"Are you ready?"
Li Mu took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "The disciple is ready." β
"Let's get started. β
Everyone quieted down, although they questioned Li Mu's strength, but no one would disturb him at such a time, that kind of behavior was disrespectful to Li Mu, but also disrespectful to the man in the green robe, and even more disrespectful to the identity of the talisman master.
Li Mu gently took out the talisman pen, held it in his hand, felt it carefully, and became familiar with the characteristics of this talisman pen. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and if you are not familiar with the weapon you want to use, how can you use it well?
This rune pen is better than the inferior rune pen he bought with a spirit stone, but it is also limited, and the value should be about ten spirit stones, Li Mu closed his eyes to familiarize himself with its weight slightly, and opened his eyes to carefully observe the hairs used in this pen, and after confirming that it was okay, he opened the bamboo tube containing Dansha ink, and lightly clicked on it, and then he was ready to draw the talisman.
Among the inheritances that Jin Chong left him, including the countless runes he mastered, with the power of Li Mu's current divine sense, the content that could be viewed was still very small, but the part of the memory of the three thousand small runes, he could check at will.
Previously, Jin Chonghe taught him a total of six kinds of runes, namely the Xuanhuo Talisman, the Water Curtain Talisman, the Golden Armor Talisman, the Golden Armor Talisman, the Thick Earth Talisman and the Green Prison Talisman, in addition to the Xuanhuo Talisman, the other five runes are ranked close to two thousand five hundred, so for Li Mu, as long as he masters four more simple runes, he can pass the assessment of this talisman.
When he first learned to make talismans, in addition to the first drawing experienced some twists and turns, the drawing of the second type of spirit rune water curtain charm was completed by him at one time, so it was not a problem for him to draw a simpler spirit rune.
The first thing Li Mu drew was the Xuanhuo Talisman.
He had drawn this kind of spirit rune dozens of times before, and each rune was firmly imprinted in the bottom of his heart, so he put pen to paper very quickly, and the combination of hundreds of complex runes of the Xuanhuo rune was under his hands, and it only took half an hour to complete them all.
And in the process, the Five Elements Array in his body moved slightly, and a pure fire element force was released, and it fell into the rune along the rune pen, and this Xuanhuo talisman gradually flashed with a golden aura under his hand, and the moment he completed it, a scorching intent emanated from it.
Li Mu's hands didn't shake during the whole process, he seemed extremely stable, and his eyes were solemn, staring closely at the runes he had drawn, as if he had not been disturbed in any way.
The moment the people around felt the heat, their faces changed, especially the eyes of those old men, there was a look of disbelief. The blue-robed man sitting on the main seat disregarded his identity, walked up to Li Mu and picked up this Xuanhuo talisman and observed it carefully.
After a while, he muttered, "Top-level spirit runes, it turned out to be upper-level spirit runes!"
"Is it really a high-level spirit talisman?" After hearing the words of the blue-robed man, an old man with half-white hair stood up excitedly, walked quickly to the young man's side, and reached out to grab the Xuanhuo talisman.
The blue-robed man handed the spirit talisman to the old man, and turned his head to look at Li Mu: "Your way of talismans, there is really no one to guide you?"
Li Mu nodded, with a look of doubt on his face. But he secretly said in his heart: Naturally, there is no one to point out, it is a dragon to point out, dragons are not human, right?
The white-haired old man took the Xuanhuo talisman in his hand and sensed it for a moment, then handed it to another old man, who looked at it and handed it to another......
"Didn't you feel the disturbance when you drew the runes?"
Li Mu didn't dare to be sloppy in this regard, and lied: "There is a little, but it seems to be weaker than usual." β
"You major in fire-based exercises?"
"The disciple also cultivates the three exercises of earth, water and fire, and the other two attributes are also involved. Li Mu grinned and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"How is it possibleβdo you know what a high-level spirit rune is?" the blue-robed man asked in a change of voice.
Li Mu replied honestly: "The disciple doesn't know. β
The middle-aged man showed a strange look on his face, and said slowly: "The upper-level spirit rune refers to the fact that when the rune master draws a certain spirit rune, he completes it in one go without the slightest pause, and according to the attributes of this kind of spirit rune, he injects pure yuan power of the same attribute into the drawing process. Only when the above two conditions are met can the rune drawn can it become a high-level rune. β
"But if you meet the above two conditions, you may not be able to become a high-level spirit rune. If a rune master wants to draw an upper-level rune, he must also memorize every rune of this rune and master every change of this rune rune. What's more, the rune must also draw the sigil the first time without any mistakes. β
"Only those who are full of absolute confidence in their hearts, who have a complete grasp of a certain spirit rune and can guarantee that they can succeed in the first draw of the day, can draw an upper-level spirit rune. β
"So, my rune belongs to the upper level rune, what is the difference between this rune and ordinary runes?"
It was the first time Li Mu had heard of this kind of upper-level spirit rune, and he couldn't help but ask.
"The spirit rune you just drew is indeed a high-level spirit rune, and there is no doubt about it. Generally speaking, each type of rune has its own rank. For example, most of the three thousand small runes are low-grade spirit runes, and each kind of spirit runes is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Unlike high-ranking runes, which can only be drawn by high-grade runes, all runes and even apprentices may get high-level runes when drawing a certain kind of rune. β
"Generally speaking, for a certain type of spirit rune, the power of the middle-level spirit rune is twice that of the low-level spirit rune, and the power of the high-level spirit rune is five times that of the low-level spirit rune. In the same kind of spirit rune, the value of the upper-level spirit rune is more than ten times that of the low-level spirit rune. (To be continued.) )
