The second is to ask for recommendations and publicity

After thinking about everything and purchasing everything, Zhang Peng began to devote himself to the first semi-retreat in his life. With the help of the anti-heaven ripening effect of the mysterious spirit bead, Zhang Peng soon completed the ripening of the spirit pill and the spirit grass required for talisman making.

At the beginning, because he didn't have spirit stones, he had to postpone his plan to go to Tianhuo Pavilion to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill. Instead, he devoted himself to the practice of spells and the making of talismans.

Since he didn't know many spells, he could only use the fireball technique as the object of practice first. According to the production method of the fireball technique in the talisman jade slip, the spiritual power on his body was slowly injected from the hand holding the talisman pen to the pen shaft. The aura emitted by the Bixuan rune pen injected with spiritual power became bright and soft at this time, and a cold feeling passed from the pen shaft along the fingers holding the pen into the whole body, making Zhang Peng feel his head and eyes clear, and his attention and spirit were more concentrated and clear.

Feeling the change in spirit, Zhang Peng unconsciously thought in his heart that it seems that this pen is indeed a rare treasure, which can help the mind to stay awake and improve the concentration of divine consciousness, which is of great benefit to improving the success rate of talismans.

With the tip of the pen dipped in dansha, he drew a spell of the fireball technique on a piece of homemade primary and lower-level blank rune paper.

After the half-pillar incense passed, Zhang Pengxin straightened up a little sore. Looking at a red talisman on the table, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Immediately, I was about to pick up the talisman and enjoy it, but before my hand touched the talisman, the talisman on the table began to change strangely. I saw that the fire in the talisman was uncertain, and the aura suddenly became extremely tyrannical and chaotic, and in less than two breaths, the talisman burst open, and then turned into a ball of fire and disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Peng was stunned when he saw this, and immediately reacted that this was a failure in talisman making. Zhang Peng, who had long known the difficulty of making talismans, didn't feel any frustration about this. If he could draw it right the first time, I'm afraid he would feel incredible.

Then he took out the next piece of rune paper and put it on the table, and began to redraw it according to the requirements on the rune. In this way, over the course of the next day, he drew one fireball after another, but failed one after the other hundreds of times.

After the drawing of these spirit runes is completed, they either spontaneously combust for no reason, or they explode immediately, or the spiritual power in the runes is quickly lost, and the entire rune paper becomes waste paper without spiritual power.

Although Zhang Peng did not care about the lost rune paper and other materials, he failed hundreds of times in a row, which also made Zhang Peng can't help but scold and sigh about his bad luck.

Stretching his extremely sore body, Zhang Peng put away the talisman and other items, fell on his bluestone bed and began to fall asleep in a daze. After all, talisman making requires concentrating on the divine consciousness at all times, which can be regarded as a job that greatly drains the divine sense. That is, Zhang Peng himself didn't understand, so he relied on that spiritual strength to grow, and there was no one in the immortal cultivation world who learned talisman making from him like this.

For the next three months, Zhang Peng practiced talisman making every day in the thatched hut of the Medicine Garden, and after thousands of failures, he was now able to stabilize the success rate of the fireball talisman at around 30%. As for the monthly sect contributions, he was easily completed under the ripening of the mysterious spirit beads. And one spirit stone per month was obviously not in line with his plan, in order to be able to get more spirit stones to go to Tianhuo Pavilion for alchemy, he deliberately handed over one percent more of the amount of elixir. In the past three months, he has accumulated more than 100 contributions, and he has exchanged them for spirit stones, and there are more than 10 low-grade spirit stones.

After experiencing the difficulties of talisman making, Zhang Pengshi did not dare to be sloppy at all about the alchemy that went hand in hand with talisman making. In the past three months, he went to Senior Brother Ye's place again on the pretext of learning new spells. Not only did he learn the sand trapping technique and the ice pick technique, but he also completely mastered the floating technique necessary for refining the elixir.

In order to ensure that he could refine the elixir, or to hone and improve his alchemy skills, he turned the ingredients of the pill into one by one, and used various jade bottles to hold them. In this way, even if your alchemy talent is not good, you can still gain enough experience through a lot of practice like talismans, and finally break through to achieve qualitative changes and improve the success rate of alchemy.

After checking that all the items required for the corresponding alchemy such as the elixir and Bigu Pill he brought were all prepared, Zhang Peng flew towards the Heavenly Fire Pavilion with his sword.

An hour later, he landed the flying sword on the mountainside platform, and on the top of a two-zhang high mountain stone cave not far ahead, three huge silver characters of the Tianhuo Pavilion were written in ancient seals without any fancy words.

After walking down the mouth of the cave for about a cup of tea, the straight and flat passage began to wind down. After going down, the whole passage began to turn to the right, and through this bend, a short distance ahead was a hut made entirely of dark green stone.

It seems that that hut is the resting place of the disciples who manage the Heavenly Fire Pavilion. Zhang Peng thought lightly in his heart, and walked briskly towards the hut without stopping.

As soon as he approached the hut, a faint sense of coolness enveloped his whole body, which made Zhang Peng feel refreshed. Out of curiosity, he touched the dark green stone with his fingers, and suddenly a cool sensation immediately spread from his fingertips to his whole body. This same feeling of coldness made Zhang Peng suddenly think of his Bixuan rune pen, and when he held the pen shaft, there would also be a sense of coolness.

Could it be that this material is also added to his own Bixuan rune pen, if this material is also added to his own rune pen, then the sect is too rich. Zhang Peng couldn't help but think in shock in his heart, and then looked at this strange stone a few more times.

According to common sense, when someone approaches the stone house, the disciples stationed in charge of the Heavenly Fire Pavilion should appear immediately. However, he had been in the stone house for so long, not to mention that he had no management disciples, but he hadn't even seen one of the other sects, which made him suddenly surprised, and he couldn't help but think that something had gone wrong with the Tianhuo Pavilion recently, and the Tianhuo Pavilion was temporarily closed in the door.

Due to the existence of prohibitions in the house, Zhang Peng could not see the situation in the house. He had no choice but to find out his identity jade plaque, aimed at the recess in the bluestone wall and let it enter. The first floor of the pride was lowered, and the prohibition on the window on the bluestone wall immediately collapsed and disappeared like ice and snow melting.

Immediately, Zhang Peng saw a black-faced young man dressed in blue, lying on a bluestone table and falling asleep. Zhang Peng used the Heavenly Eye Technique to observe the other party's cultivation, and found that this lazy black-faced young man's technique had actually reached the tenth level of the Qi Refining Period. This made his contemptuous heart suddenly pick it up, and he also secretly smiled bitterly, others are sleeping here, and the exercises can be cultivated to the tenth layer. And with the help of that mysterious spirit bead, he was able to cultivate to the fifth level of qi cultivation, which is really more popular than people.

"Senior brother, wake up, junior brother borrowed the house of earth fire in advance. Zhang Peng respectfully shouted at the black-faced youth.

After waiting for about ten breaths, Zhang Peng found that the black-faced youth showed no signs of awakening. In desperation, he had to take off a bell-shaped magic weapon next to him and shake it gently.

Suddenly, a crisp bell sounded immediately, and Zhang Peng didn't feel anything after hearing it, but the black-faced young man immediately opened his eyes as if he had been pricked by a needle, and looked around in a panic, with a long mouth in his mouth:

"What's wrong? Hey, who are you, did you ring this fire bell?"

Obviously, the black-faced senior brother was still in a semi-comatose state, and he did not wake up immediately, but just said the above words out of instinct, as if the seemingly ordinary bell had an extraordinary meaning to him.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng didn't dare to delay, and immediately bowed back to:

"Senior brother, junior brother, I just wanted to borrow the earth fire house for use, and seeing that the senior brother seemed to be immersed in the comprehension exercises, the senior brother didn't wake up the senior brother for a long time. The younger brother is not very clear about the effect of the ground fire bell, and I ask the senior brother to forgive the abruptness of the younger brother. ”

Zhang Peng didn't leak a drop of what he said, and even changed his sleep to the practice of participating in enlightenment. As for the effect of the Earth Fire Bell, he really didn't know what it was for, but seeing that this senior brother was so anxious, he also guessed a thing or two, it was nothing more than for the emergency use of the Heavenly Fire Pavilion.

As for whether this senior brother can give him a good face or deliberately embarrass him after listening to Zhang Peng's words, he doesn't know, but if he wants to be respectful, the other party will be slightly less angry even if he is angry.

Sure enough, as Zhang Peng expected, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the black-faced young man opposite snort coldly, and then his face became extremely gloomy.

"Hmph, since you are arrogantly stirring the fire bell and disturbing my meditation, I can't say that I will give you a little color today, and I won't give you a long name, and I think that anyone in the immortal cultivation world can be provoked. ”

After speaking, a spiritual pressure of the ten-layer exercises of the Qi Refining Period on the black-faced young man's body suddenly emanated, and the distance was so close, Zhang Peng was immediately forced to retreat and took several steps back before he could stabilize his body, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans began to fall down densely with his forehead.

"Senior brother, please calm your anger, the junior brother is just borrowing the earth fire house in advance, as for disturbing the senior brother's meditation, the senior brother is willing to use a spirit stone as compensation. Zhang Peng looked flustered, this was the first time he felt the deadly oppression of a high-level monk on a low-level monk at close range, as if his surname had been in the hands of someone else. This made Zhang Peng shocked and angry, although he said respectfully to the black-faced young man, but there was already a cold killing intent in his heart.

It seems that he is really different from before, Zhang Peng thought indifferently in his heart.

After hearing Zhang Peng's words, the black-faced young man in the stone house looked a little better. The aggressive and powerful spiritual pressure was also retracted, his eyes stared straight at Zhang Peng, and he said coldly:

"Since the junior brother is so knowledgeable, and it is an unintentional mistake, I won't worry too much about you this time, senior brother, but next time I do it again, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
