Chapter 21: The Difficulty of the Talisman Technique

The western part of Liuyunfang City.

This is a continuous group of buildings, simple and natural, dignified and generous. There are even some wooden houses carved with lifelike patterns, which if you put it in the world, I am afraid that only the emperor and the like can enjoy it!

This is the rented residence of the cave house in Liuyunfang City. Wang Chen had already inquired with the girl before, the rental price of Liuyunfang City, a single house cost anywhere from three to 100 lower-grade spirit stones a month! Looking at the number of this house, it is estimated that if all the monks live, the income of this spirit stone will be tens of thousands!

Of course, the workmanship of the expensive house is more surprising, the layout is more gorgeous, not to mention, the protective formation is also quite extraordinary, and even the primary spirit gathering formation is also arranged!

Gently walking into the house, a young man hurriedly greeted him, "Immortal Master, do you want to rent a cave mansion?

The young man's expression was extremely respectful, and even a little flattering, which made Wang Chen slightly stunned, but he felt that the young man did not have the slightest mana, so he knew what happened!

Even the descendants of the monks have a high probability of not having spiritual roots, and these people in the Immortal Cultivation family have no choice but to engage in roles such as small servants in the world!

The young man led Wang Chen through a room and came to an old man. The old man sat on the chair very kindly! Wang Chen felt the profound mana on the old man's body, then his eyes blinked, and he said, "Daoist friend is polite!"

The old man got up and returned the salute and asked directly: "Fellow Daoist, but you want to rent a cave mansion!"

Wang Chen nodded, and the old man didn't talk nonsense, so he handed over a jade slip. Wang Chen didn't bother with it, took the jade slip and put it on his forehead and looked at it directly!

"From No. 1 in the east and No. 12 in the north, the monthly rent is one hundred spirit stones, and there are primary psychedelic formations, primary defense formations, and primary spirit gathering formations......"

"From No. 2 in the east, from No. 18 in the north, the monthly rent is eighty spirit stones......"

One by one, the information was swiped, and these houses that had not yet been rented made Wang Chen's head big for a while, but after a while, Wang Chen looked behind him and looked for the cheapest!

After a cup of tea, Wang Chen put down the jade slip, opened his eyes, and handed the jade slip over, "No. 98 in the east and No. 1 in the north."

The old man was slightly surprised when he heard this, "Fellow Daoist, I am going to book for a few months, three spirit stones per month!"

"One month," Wang Chen replied immediately, and took out three spirit stones and handed them over. The old man put away the spirit stone, recorded it for a while, and then handed over a jade talisman!

"This is the control talisman of the house formation, you can pass through the jade talisman when you sacrifice it, remember to return the jade talisman when you run out!"

Wang Chen thanked him and turned to leave!

Half an hour later, Wang Chen finally felt the front of the house he was renting. I saw that the blue-yellow wooden house was surrounded by a faint light shield in front of it. Wang Chen sacrificed the jade talisman, and the light mask produced a passage.

Putting away the jade talisman, Wang Chen entered the room, and the presence of dust was not felt on the seat. The room was divided into two rooms, which were very simple, one room had a pair of tables, chairs and beds, and the other room had only one futon.

However, Wang Chen did not have any dissatisfaction, after all, Wang Chen was not greedy for enjoyment, and even had a tendency to be an ascetic, and although the interior layout of the room was a little worse, the two simple formations outside were very effective. Although it is only the most basic formation, it is extremely suitable compared to the rent of three spirit stones per month!

Early warning array, when someone breaks in outside, Wang Chen can get a warning, and the psychedelic array produces a layer of fog, although the actual effect can be ignored, but it can also isolate the sound, avoid harassment outside, and cultivate with peace of mind! These two formations were chosen only after Wang Chen compared.

After simply tidying up the house, taking out the talisman in the storage bag, he began to meditate, after completing the meditation, Wang Chen also sighed that the aura here is really not worldly comparable, the same meditation time absorbed more aura than usual, and then Wang Chen lay down and slept beautifully!

When he woke up the next day, Wang Chen felt a pang of relief all over his body, stretched his waist, and began to continue meditating. Although the mana that increases by meditation is very small, any monk who wants to go further will not ignore daily meditation!

An hour later, Wang Chen finished his work and began to think about the direction of his cultivation in the future.

If at the current speed of meditation, Wang Chen would be able to break through to the third level of Qi cultivation in two years, not counting the bottleneck, and it would take a little longer for each layer of cultivation to increase.

Four years of Qi training, five years of Qi training, five layers....In this way, it will take about forty years to break through to the ninth layer of Qi training, which is still not a bottleneck time. If you calculate it, it is estimated that it will take a hundred years, and by then the optimal age for foundation building has been missed.

If you want to go further after building the foundation, the foundation building generally cannot be higher than forty years old, otherwise it is almost impossible to form a golden pill after that, and you can only stay for a lifetime during the foundation building period. In fact, nine out of ten monks have no chance to build a foundation at all, and they die of old age in the Qi cultivation period for the rest of their lives.

If you want to quickly improve your cultivation, you can only buy pills, which requires a large number of spirit stones. If you want to earn spirit stones, you have to learn an immortal cultivation skill. Not to mention alchemy, refining, formations and the like, the cost is too great, Wang Chen has no conditions to learn at all, and he can learn with conditions, and at this stage, Wang Chen can only come into contact with the art of Fu Seal.

This was also Wang Chen's previous plan, and the talisman pen, talisman paper, and cinnabar exchanged for the nun were all Wang Chen's hopes. !

Taking out a palm-sized piece of talisman paper and placing it on the table, Wang Chen opened the clay pot and dipped the talisman pen in the cinnabar a few times to make sure that the cinnabar had been soaked in the talisman pen, and then Wang Chen began to calm down.

After a moment, Wang Chen exhaled, and the runes that he had thought about thousands of times in his heart were drawn under the runes. The faint red runes appeared on the rune paper with the movement of the rune pen, and the aura of the dantian also flowed out, and the surrounding aura was also slowly sealed on the rune paper along with the runes depicted.

The pen walks the dragon and snake, smooth and arbitrary.

"It's going to work, definitely!"

Wang Chen had an indescribable feeling in his heart! As if he was not controlling the rune pen, the rune pen just appeared where the rune should appear! Finally, after drawing the rune, the aura on Wang Chen's body suddenly leaked out, and the rune on the rune paper absorbed the aura and quickly stabilized it, and a pale red fireball talisman was made!

Whew! Wang Chen exhaled all kinds of breaths, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart! Everything is difficult at the beginning, with the first success, Wang Chen has confidence, and then he will start the great cause of making talismans!

But the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny!

The second rune paper failed and turned to ashes. The third, fourth....... Wang Chen seemed to see a ghost, trying again and again and failing again and again, and finally when Wang Chen's spiritual power was consumed, a dozen rune papers had been consumed.

With the spiritual power on Wang Chen's body, if all the runes and seals were successful, he could draw eight or nine pieces, but the failed runes consumed less mana, so the twelve runes were wasted by Wang Chen in two hours!

Calculate the cost, a dozen rune papers in the early stage of qi training and a low-grade spirit stone, and a rune seal of the second layer of qi training can sell two spirit stones. In other words, a talisman seal that Wang Chen happened to make was still earned!

Even so, Wang Chen felt the difficulty of making talismans.

Twelve rune papers, except for the first one that happened to be right, all the others failed, which means that as long as the success rate is one-tenth, you can earn a low-grade spirit stone.

Considering the first coincidence, Wang Chen's success rate was actually less than one percent, so Wang Chen understood that there was no exaggeration in cultivating immortals. The average monk's talisman level is estimated to be one out of a dozen runes! That is to say, the success rate is about 10%!

The success rate of about 10% can ensure that the casual cultivation has a stable profit, although it is very weak!

However, most monks still don't choose talismans, because the success rate of talismans is too difficult to improve, unless they have made hundreds of thousands of times, or have the talent of talismans, otherwise talismans can break even at most!

After the failure, Wang Chen was not discouraged! On the contrary, he calmed down and pondered the reasons for the failure. Several of the twelve failures were due to the deviation of the runes, and the instability of spiritual power caused the runes to fail. The rest is that the spiritual power output is incorrect, either too fast or too slow, and the output of spiritual power must match the speed of the rune, but even if the speed of the rune pen remains the same, the mana required for each small rune is not the same!

I have to say that Wang Chen is a genius in terms of understanding! This conjecture is very correct, but even if he knows Wang Chen, he is helpless.

There are only three ways to solve the problem: one is that the cultivation is high enough, the divine sense is strong, and the control of mana is relatively competent with the low-level rune seal, but this cultivation must at least be in the foundation building period, and the monks in the foundation building period are strong and have various ways to earn more spirit stones;

The second is the method of cultivating rune seal masters in the Immortal Cultivation Sect! Practice makes perfect! After a few years of non-stop supply of rune paper, there will generally be a success rate of three or four percent! This is the reason why a large number of rune papers can be distributed among the Immortal Cultivation Sect!

The third type is the unavoidable qualification. The physique of the monks is very different, and the talents are even more diverse, some people are gifted with foreknowledge of danger, and some people are gifted with a strong perception of pills, and it is easy to become a master of alchemy. And some people have a special feeling for talismans, talent is talisman making, and the success rate of talisman making is particularly high!

Although Wang Chen has extraordinary understanding, it is impossible to satisfy the above three. There is no way to just practice step by step!

One rune paper, two rune papers....When Wang Chen's mana was consumed again, Wang Chen still didn't succeed in one!

"No, the mana output is too fast..."

"No, the mana output is slow again...."

"It's still wrong, the mana output before and after is not coordinated!"
