Chapter 62: Hidden Lines
"Thirty Sanyan talismans?"
In the inner hall of the Fu Zheng shop, Li Muran couldn't help but be slightly startled after hearing the shopkeeper's statement.
"That's right, and the price of each talisman has increased by one percent, fifty-five spirit stones!" said the shopkeeper, "Thirty is one thousand six hundred and fifty spirit stones, even if the store draws one hundred and fifty spirit stones for consignment sales, Brother Zhao can still harvest one thousand five hundred spirit stones! According to the calculation that a skilled talisman master can succeed once three times in talisman making, excluding the cost of rune paper and rune ink, Daoist friends can earn a total of three or four hundred spirit stones! There are not many such opportunities!"
Li Muran pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed a big deal! Such a big deal, there should be many disciples willing to take it, why hasn't the shopkeeper found a candidate yet?"
The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Although this buyer is generous, his requirements are also very demanding. He demanded that these thirty Sanyan talismans must be made by the same person, and they must be delivered within two months, and one less will be fined one hundred spirit stones!"
"If it's just like this, if you find a late-stage Qi Vein disciple who is skilled in talisman making, you can barely do it after two months of hard work in talisman making, the key is that the buyer put forward a higher requirement, he requires that these thirty Sanyan talismans must be sealed with primary-level sealing runes. ”
"Beginner Seal Rune?" Li Muran was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly he was stunned.
The primary sealing rune is the simplest sealing rune, and the sealing rune used in the one-star vitality rune is this one. The biggest advantage of this kind of sealing rune is that it is simple and convenient, and you need to inject a little mana to immediately unlock the seal and use the rune.
Generally speaking, the sealing runes used for higher-level runes are also relatively complex. In the case of the Sanyan rune, the vitality it contains is very violent, using the simplest sealing rune as the final seal, although it is not completely impossible, but it greatly increases the difficulty of making talismans, the success rate decreases, and the cost of talisman making increases accordingly!
If you use a more advanced sealing rune to seal the rune, even if the vitality is a little violent during the talisman making, or there are some subtle differences in the drawing of the talisman, you can barely rely on the power of the seal to forcibly suppress it, which greatly improves the success rate of the talisman. Of course, the more advanced the sealing rune, the higher the technique of lifting the seal, which is nothing for monks who often use runes and are skilled in techniques, but it is not a small challenge for the layman, and three or five runes may be able to be manipulated at one time, and I am afraid that no more can be done!
Unless the level of the talisman maker is extremely high, he can complete the drawing of the fighting text with a light weight, and completely calm the vitality contained in the rune paper, so that he can complete the seal with the primary sealing rune at the end.
However, the Flame Fighting Script required for the Sanyan Talisman was quite complicated and very difficult to draw, and there were a few Qi Vein Stage disciples who could do it? The Talisman Master of the Fugue Stage could do it, but how could they spend a lot of time and vitality making talismans and taking over this deal for the sake of a few spirit stones!
With this somewhat unconscionable excesse, it's no wonder that the shopkeeper hasn't found the right person to choose the right person.
Li Muran secretly said in his heart: "Most of the buyers are not disciples of the Yuan Fu Sect, and they don't often use runes, so it is a little tricky to remove the complex rune seals. The reason why the buyer asked for the talisman to be made by the same person, and to use the simplest seal rune, had only one purpose - to facilitate him to use multiple talismans at the same time. It seems that the buyer intends to use the Sanyan Fu as a strange trick against the enemy. ”
The shopkeeper said with a sad face: "Brother Zhao, you are also an expert in talisman making, do you think this deal can be accepted? If Brother Zhao also finds it difficult to do it, I will simply contact the buyer to push down the transaction. ”
Li Muran pondered for a while and said, "It is indeed more difficult to seal with a beginner-level sealing rune, but if you practice a few more times, you should be able to do it after you are familiar with it." In the urgent need of spirit stones, this deal is willing to take it. However, please do not disclose the following information to the buyer. ”
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and he agreed, and said: "Of course, this store is only responsible for intermediate transactions, and will never leak the information of buyers and sellers! Brother, I have also done business in this market for many years, and this reputation is still there!"
"The buyer has already prepaid some of the spirit stones, since Brother Zhao has promised to take it, let's take it out to the brother first!" the shopkeeper said, and he was going to take out the spirit stones, anyway, Li Muran still had a lot of talismans to sell on consignment here, and he was not afraid that Li Muran would run away with hundreds of spirit stones.
Li Muran said: "These spirit stones will all be replaced with third-order rune paper, this time the talisman is made, I am afraid that the success rate will be lower, and more rune paper needs to be prepared." ”
Li Muran left Fang City with a large sum of rune paper and returned to the sect in a rune paper crane.
For the next period of time, Li Muran did not spend much energy trying to break through the bottleneck - he knew very well that without the help of the best opportunity, it was just a futile and wasteful effort to break through the bottleneck by meditating.
He devoted more of his energy and time to talisman making. In fact, with the help of the light of the mysterious bronze mirror, even if he used the simplest sealing rune to seal the rune, it would not be too difficult for him, and after being familiar with it a few times, he would be sure of it.
While Li Muran was making talismans, he secretly said in his heart: "I don't know who the buyer is, but what is certain is that if these thirty Sanyan talismans are suddenly used, I am afraid that it will be difficult for any Qi Vein Stage disciple to resist!"
"In case, I happen to meet this buyer, and if he uses these thirty Sanyan talismans against me, then won't I be cocooned and shoot myself in the foot?"
Li Muran felt that this possibility was very small, but he had to be wary. Especially when the mysterious buyer spent so much money on spirit stones to buy this special request for Sanyan Fu at this time, it was obviously preparing for something, and it was difficult to say whether it would conflict with the task assigned by Master Zixia Daoren.
"It's better to work harder and be more careful, than to take it lightly!" Li Muran thought like this, and he decided to do something on these thirty Sanyan talismans.
"I've been studying the hidden lines seen in the classics for a long time, it's time to practice!"
The so-called hidden pattern is a kind of code word that circulates among talisman makers, and the real meaning refers to a type of hidden rune. This kind of rune is drawn on the rune paper with special rune ink, which does not appear and does not affect the drawing of other runes very much, but can set some hidden spells on the rune in advance.
Hidden patterns need to use special means to excite, generally only the talisman maker can know the technique; although the hidden pattern is hidden, but if it falls into the hands of the talisman expert, careful observation can also show the clues, and it is difficult for the layman to see the flaws.
Li Muran speculated that the buyer was not a disciple of the Yuan Fu Sect, but a "layman", so he asked for the simplest sealing rune to seal the rune, so that it was convenient for the layman to use. What's more, these special Sanyan symbols are naturally regarded by buyers as the finale means, and they will not be displayed lightly in front of people, so that the possibility of hidden lines being recognized will also be greatly reduced.
Li Muran decided to leave a hidden pattern on the special thirty Sanyan talismans, if the buyer used these thirty talismans to deal with other monks, it would naturally be normal, but if the buyer happened to meet Li Muran himself, he would be surprised!
The simplest hidden pattern also needs to draw a rather complex fighting text, and among the disciples in the Qi Vein Period, almost no one can make the hidden pattern; Li Muran can't make the hidden pattern by himself, but with the help of the mysterious bronze mirror, these become a matter of course!
As long as the rune paper is illuminated by the light of the bronze mirror for a period of time, and then use this rune paper to make zuò runes, no matter what kind of douwen is drawn, it will become easy and free, and it will not be disturbed by invisible forces or inexplicable factors at all, making talisman making as easy as when practicing. In this case, even a disciple in the early stage of the Qi Pulse can draw complex fighting texts, not to mention Li Muran, who has a solid foundation and has been practicing diligently!
Two months later, Li Muran brought 30 special Sanyan talismans to the Fu Jar shop in Fang City and completed the transaction with the shopkeeper.
After watching the shopkeeper check the thirty talismans one by one and accept them with great satisfaction, Li Muran's heart was relieved. Although this shopkeeper is not a talisman maker, he is often in contact with all kinds of talismans, and he is half an expert, even he can't show the hidden patterns in the Sanyan talisman, so the possibility of buying a buyer is almost negligible!
Drawing an extra hidden pattern in the talisman made Li Muran's talisman make the cost of talisman much higher, but this transaction still allowed him to earn a lot of spirit stones-these spirit stones, he basically replaced them with third-order talisman paper, and he wanted to make more talismans for himself.
Resting during the day and making talismans at night, Li Muran's cultivation life is busy and efficient.
On this day, Li Muran, who was resting in the house, suddenly received a summons from his master, Zixia Daoist, and suddenly his heart sank, and the secret mission was finally about to be unveiled!
Zixia Daoren's face was kind, and he said with a smile: "Nameless, I heard that you have been in and out of the Fang Market frequently during this time, and you are buying magic weapons and rune paper, it seems that you are not lazy, and you have been acting according to the instructions of the teacher!"
"This is the duty of a disciple!" Li Muran replied respectfully, but secretly said in his heart: "My every move, I'm afraid it's under the watchful eye of the master!"
Zixia Daoist nodded and praised: "Very good, being an apprentice has the duty of an apprentice, and being a master should also have the duties of a master!"
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized, glittering golden slice from his arms, handed it to Li Muran, and said, "This is a golden talisman specially refined for you by the teacher-Sword Talisman!"
"Transform into a sword talisman!" Li Muran perked up when he heard this, and a hint of surprise that could not be concealed appeared on his face.
