Chapter 068: Talent
"Alright, don't talk about those useless ones. Let me see the Ice Shield Talisman you drew first. Shangguan Song glanced at the ice shield talisman handed over by Gong Huaiming a few times, and shook his head, "What is this? It's all rubbish, ghost drawing talismans, and it's worthless." ”
"How is it possible? I have carefully compared it with the sample symbol, there is no difference, how can it be unqualified? Gong Huaiming asked.
"For the sake of you being a disciple of the outer sect who came from the expedition, I will point you out. These ice shield talismans you draw are only similar in shape, but they are godless, to put it bluntly, they are not similar in shape, and lack of charm. You see, this is a qualified Ice Shield Talisman. Shangguan Song took out an ice shield talisman that someone else had exchanged and let Gong Huaiming see it.
Originally, Gong Huaiming ran here to ask Shangguan Song for advice, and the outer disciples behind him still complained, but from Shangguan Song's mouth, he learned that Gong Huaiming was the only outer disciple recruited from the Quan Feng Hall not long ago, and everyone looked at him with some surprise, just like watching a monkey. It has been decades since there have been a conquest of outer disciples on Tianqi Island, and there are few people who don't feel unusual.
According to rumors, the outer disciples who are generally recruited will become the leading figures among the outer disciples, and Gong Huaiming looks ordinary and does not seem to be particularly outstanding.
Gong Huaiming compared the ice shield talisman he drew with the ice shield talisman given to him by Shangguan Song, as if he could see something, but as if he couldn't see anything. Shangguan Song snatched the two paper runes in his hand and knocked the two paper runes out, the paper runes drawn by Gong Huaiming burst out with a little light in the air, and there was no movement, while the other paper runes formed an ice shield in an instant, suspended in the air. The ice shield is crystal clear, with a regular shape and uniform texture, like a shield with an all-ice texture.
Shangguan Song took out more than a dozen ice shield talismans, "This is a qualified ice shield talisman drawn by several different outer disciples, you take it back and study it." Gong Huaiming, you have to understand that the important thing is not the likeness, but the likeness. If the shape is not similar, the god seems to be able to make up for it, but the god is not similar, and there is no way to make up for the resemblance. ”
Gong Huaiming took the Ice Shield Talisman, "Uncle Shi, how much are these Ice Shield Talismans?"
"It's not worth much, I'll give it to you. Shangguan Song thought for a while, "Forget it, send the Buddha to the west, and I will help you with the surname Suo." ”
Shangguan Song made a lightning move and grabbed a handful on Gong Huaiming's wrist, who only felt that his wrist was hot, as if something had entrenched on his wrist.
Shangguan Song said: "I have saved a little true yuan on your wrist, and with this true yuan, you can test whether the paper talisman you drew is qualified." This group of True Yuan can only exist for three days, or enough for you to experiment with the paper talisman thirty times, so you can figure out how to use it yourself. Okay, let's go, don't delay the brothers and sisters behind you to exchange contributions. ”
"Thank you for your help, and I will definitely be rewarded in the future. Gong Huaiming said gratefully.
"If you can make a high-grade talisman early, it will be the greatest reward for me. Shangguan Song said.
Gong Huaiming returned to his small courtyard, he took out more than a dozen paper talismans given to him by Shangguan Song, and began to observe and explore the charm that existed on these paper talismans. After a day and a half, Gong Huaiming seemed to have discovered something, he dipped the talisman pen in the cinnabar reconciled with the blood of the demon beast, and drew it on the yellow paper.
The paper talisman was instantaneous, Gong Huaiming knocked the paper talisman out, and the paper talisman burst in the air about half a zhang away from him, and the air rolled and struggled, and a moment later, a mutilated ice shield appeared in the air. This ice shield is not only uneven in thickness, but also has many places, which are simply transparent from front to back, and cannot form an effective defense at all.
Looking at Gong Huaiming, who still has a big gap with the qualifications, he is still quite happy, no matter what, he has groped out some doorways and touched the so-called "god" of the talisman.
After that, Gong Huaiming once again began to study the commonalities between all the qualified ice shield talismans. He cherished the ball of true yuan that Shangguan Song gave him, in order to reduce waste as much as possible, he studied for a long time every time, and when he felt that he was sure, he would draw a new ice shield talisman, and then use the true yuan to stimulate it, figuring out what deficiencies there were in the ice shield talisman he made.
In this way, time passed little by little in Gong Huaiming's repeated pondering and thinking, and when he exhausted the ball of true yuan that Shangguan Song had given him, he had basically mastered the key to drawing the ice shield talisman. At this time, the raw materials used to make the paper talisman in his hand had been almost consumed. Nearly half of the blood of one or two demon beasts was used, and the consumption of yellow paper and cinnabar was similar.
Gong Huaiming estimated that after one or two demon beast blood and one or two cinnabar were reconciled, about a hundred ice shield talismans could be drawn. Ten qualified ice shield talismans can be exchanged for one contribution point, and ten contribution points are needed to buy one or two demon beast blood, in other words, even if he draws all the remaining yellow paper into ice shield talismans, and all of them are qualified, it is barely enough to earn back the capital of demon beast blood, and all the yellow paper, cinnabar and artificial labor have to be pasted upside down. In the long run, let alone earning contributions, it's good to be pants if you don't lose.
Gong Huaiming's first reaction was to mix water into the blood of the demon beast, he also did the same, when he used the blood of the demon beast mixed with water to reconcile the cinnabar, he tried to draw an ice shield talisman, and he didn't even test the experiment, he felt that the new talisman was not full of charm, and it was not a qualified ice shield talisman at all.
After that, Gong Huaiming tried a number of other cost-cutting methods, but each method was unsuccessful. In desperation, Gong Huaiming decided to find someone who understood and consulted. He used up all the remaining materials, drew more than 30 paper talismans, and went to the Fang Market to buy two jars of good wine for 500 taels of gold, and then went to Shangguan Song.
Today, it was not Shangguan Song who was on duty at the exchange office, Gong Huaiming inquired all the way and found Shangguan Song in another room at the exchange office, explaining his intention.
Shangguan Song looked at the ice shield talisman handed over to him by Gong Huaiming, "Yes, these more than thirty ice shield talismans are basically qualified, in such a short period of time, you can figure out how to draw the ice shield talisman, which shows two things, first, you are talented in talisman manufacturing, and second, Master Chen's vision is really unique, no wonder he will recruit you as an outer disciple." Gong Huaiming, are you going to exchange these ice shield talismans for contributions? Or what?"
Shangguan Song looked at Gong Huaiming with a little scrutiny and interest in his eyes. The latter successfully tried to produce the ice shield talisman so quickly, which greatly surprised him, as far as he knew, such a fast speed was only possessed by the inner disciples, and there was not a single outer disciple in the history of the Peak Hall, whether it was recruited or recruited, no one could succeed in such a short period of time. Even if he was Shangguan Song, it was only after wasting several knives of yellow paper that he gradually mastered the trick of drawing ice shield talismans.
