Chapter 14 Talisman Making
"Can't afford it. Li Muran smiled embarrassedly and left the talisman shop.
It was not early, Li Muran remembered Qingfengzi's instructions, so he stopped lingering, left Fang City, and returned to the sect.
Seeing a large number of exercises and spell classics in the library pavilion, and seeing all kinds of ingenious treasures in the market, Li Muran's vision was very different from a few days ago.
This time, he had to rethink his cultivation plan.
Li Muran secretly said in his heart: "Since you can't find the reason for the dissipation of the Yuan Qi, it is better to simply refine these Yuan Qi into Yuan Qi Talismans and then sell them as spirit stones." ”
"With spirit stones, you can buy many treasures, read more classics, and slowly look for clues. ”
It is often said in the classics that cultivating immortals is a 10,000-year-old achievement, so how can you rush for a while! Step by step is the truth!
After thinking about it, Li Muran made a decision, during the day he practiced for half a day, rested for half a day, and at night he meditated with all his might, and then used the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that was absorbed and refined to make talismans.
Although Li Muran is already an official disciple, he has not yet received any errands and miscellaneous labor, although he does not have any income, but he is also idle.
Therefore, during this time, he made talismans with all his might. As he became more proficient, he could make talismans four or five times in one night, twenty-two pieces of talisman paper, and after five nights, he used them all.
With a solid foundation and skilled means, Li Muran only missed twice in total, and obtained a full twenty first-order vitality talismans.
Twenty Yuan Qi Talismans, the total amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi contained is extremely amazing. In other words, if it is another disciple, how can he be willing to use a large amount of vitality from his hard cultivation to make talismans!
Li Muran had no choice but to do it, anyway, it would be a waste of these vitality if he didn't use it.
Li Muran then went to Banfang City again, and exchanged all these Yuan Qi runes into first-order rune paper, a total of 100 pieces, and carried a bulging bag in his arms.
"The little brother's talisman making method is good, in such a short period of time, all those talisman papers have been made into Yuan Qi talismans?" the shopkeeper was a little surprised.
Generally speaking, it takes at least a month or even more to make twenty one-star vitality talismans.
"It's not my credit alone," Li Muran said the words that he had already prepared: "These Yuan Qi talismans were made overnight by me and seven or eight senior brothers, and I just came to sell them on errands." ”
"I see. The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, although the degree of making talismans with all his strength is faster, but it will stop in practice, and it is difficult to say whether it is worth the loss, but the shopkeeper will not mention these words to Li Muran.
Li Muran has read a lot of classics, so he naturally knows this, after getting these hundred rune papers, he is no longer in a hurry to make talismans with all his might, but while practicing, while making talismans, every night, only before dawn when the vitality is about to dissipate, only to make those two vitality talismans.
Having learned the lesson of the last time, this time Li Muran did not dare to take out the Yuan Qi Talisman and sell it at one time, but went to the Fang Market every once in a while to sell a few Yuan Qi Talismans, which would not attract attention at all.
Moreover, there are many shops that are willing to buy Genki charms, and the prices are uniform. The use of the Yuan Qi Talisman was more extensive than Li Muran imagined, in addition to the disciples of the Yuan Fu Sect, the disciples of other sects also needed the Yuan Qi Talisman to supplement the Yuan Qi of the Fu Paper Crane and other talismans.
After a few times, Li Muran also accumulated some spirit stones, some of which were exchanged for rune paper, and the other part was left to read books in the library pavilion.
One day three months later, Li Muran went to the library early in the morning. He was already very familiar with Xiao Shusheng, put down a spirit stone, said hello, and went straight to the second layer to read some classics that introduced various runes.
"Senior Brother Zhao, slow down," Xiao Shusheng suddenly stopped Li Muran: "Senior brother came just in time, senior brother has one thing to discuss with you." ”
"What's the matter, Senior Brother Xiao wants to change a few more Yuan Qi talismans?" Li Muran asked curiously.
Xiao Shusheng said: "That's the case, I promised Senior Brother Mo that I was going to go on a mission with him, and I needed to leave the sect for half a month. I wonder if Senior Brother Zhao can help me clean up the library during this time?"
"Dotting the Library Pavilion?" Li Muran was stunned.
"Yes, it's very simple! The library is rarely visited by senior brothers on weekdays, and it can be regarded as an idle errand. However, there is no remuneration for this errand, and the sect does not give any rewards, and the only benefit is that you can read the books for free. I see that Senior Brother Zhao is also a book lover, I don't know if I am willing to help Senior Brother this help?" Xiao Shusheng looked at Li Muran with antiquation.
"Is that the same as reading in my own study before!" Li Muran was shocked and asked, "I have shallow qualifications in the next class, I don't know if I can take on this important responsibility?"
Xiao Shusheng saw that Li Muran was interested, and said happily: "Haha, that's okay." With my recommendation, there will be no problem. And just to serve as a deacon of the Library Pavilion temporarily, it will not be too demanding. If Senior Brother Zhao is willing, it is better to go through the formalities today, and then Senior Brother will no longer need to spend spirit stones to read books!"
After thinking about it carefully, Li Muran agreed. Xiao Shusheng was overjoyed, and immediately took Li Muran to the governor's room to find the senior brother in charge to explain the matter.
At first, the senior brother in charge saw that Li Muran's qualifications were too shallow, so he didn't agree, but Xiao Shusheng strongly recommended it, and said that there was no other suitable person to replace him, and finally the steward agreed, and asked the two to hand over the formalities.
"The rules of the Library Pavilion are very simple, every seven days can be closed for one day to organize books, and it is not open to the public at night......" Xiao Shusheng introduced to Li Muran in detail, and finally he took out a palm-sized gossip-shaped jade plate and said, "This is the array disk of the Cold Condensation Array. In the library pavilion, there is a set of cold condensation array formations, which are used to protect the library on weekdays; in case of fire danger, just immediately stir up this array, and there will be a cold air enveloping the entire library pavilion, so that the fire can be extinguished instantly. The use of the array is also very simple, you only need to inject some mana into a few runes on the array disk according to the law, as for the vitality consumed by the array, it comes from the spirit stones that have been arranged in the array, and there is no need to consume your own vitality......"
Xiao Shusheng explained carefully, and Li Muran wrote it down carefully. That night, after Li Muran closed the door of the library pavilion, he was the only one guarding the three-story library pavilion.
Li Muran quickly adapted to the life of the library pavilion, after all, he didn't know how much he had spent with books like this.
The only inconvenience was that if there were other disciples who came to read the classics during the day, he would not be able to cultivate, but he could flip through the various books in the library at will.
Li Muran reads books during the day, and draws one or two talismans at night to rest. After all, reading books is very laborious, and Li Muran is the kind of "senior bookworm" who reads books very carefully, and he can remember many contents as long as he reads them once.
On this day, there were no other disciples in the Library Pavilion, and Li Muran was alone, holding a biographical classic to read with relish.
This biography tells the life story of an elder of the Yuan Fu Sect five hundred years ago, this elder is not very qualified, but he has a good chance and likes to travel and adventure, so he has left a lot of legendary stories.
The biography is very detailed, just the elder's enlightenment and apprenticeship, as well as the ordinary deeds of the introductory disciple, have been written in many chapters. However, Li Muran didn't feel bored at all, from this word, it can be seen that this elder's dedication to cultivating immortals, his planning for his cultivation, and various details of cultivation made him feel quite touched.
Looking at it, the biography suddenly mentioned that the elder participated in a sect mission, and then the words were vague, but it mentioned that this task involved many disciples, and the danger was not small, and all the disciples were unwilling to participate, but the elder took the initiative to ask for the task and made a lot of contributions. After completing this task, this elder suddenly became famous from an ordinary disciple, and he was highly respected by the sect, and he lived up to expectations and became a legendary elder step by step.
This biography is realistic in style, characterized by meticulous content and true portrayal, and the life of this elder is clearly explained, but only this sect task is brought in a few simple sentences.
"It's strange that this mission is very important to this elder's cultivation path, but it is one of the several great changes in his cultivation trajectory in his life, why is it so brief? Why not describe it in detail?" Li Muran closed the book, but the doubts in his heart lingered.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning:
By the way, didn't Master say that after three years, I and a few other disciples must participate in a sect mission, and that mission is also dangerous, is there any connection between the two?"
Li Muran still remembers the scene when the Zixia Daoist accepted several of their disciples as apprentices, participating in the mysterious "sect mission" was the only request put forward by the Zixia Daoist, what is the task that makes the master attach so much importance to it?
Li Muran carefully reread the biography about the mission of the sect, which mentioned that the elder deliberately spent a lot of effort and prepared a lot of means before carrying out the task, and these methods were all to improve his actual combat ability, not for cultivation.
"After all, it was hundreds of years ago, so maybe it doesn't matter. Li Muran said secretly in his heart, and then continued to browse more classics related to the historical materials of the sect, looking for clues about the "mission of the sect".
This search made Li Muran startled. At present, in at least dozens of classics, a certain sect mission has been mentioned, but all of them are brief and sloppy, as if they are deliberately evasive. If it weren't for Li Muran's intention to find relevant content, I am afraid that it would be easy to ignore the past.
At the same time, although the deeds recorded in these classics span a wide range of years, from hundreds of years ago to decades ago, when mentioning the mission of this sect, there are several obvious common characteristics:
First, this task is completed by the disciples, not by the elders of the sect; second, this task is not small, and some disciples have no return, and many disciples are unwilling to participate; third, those who complete the task smoothly are often rewarded and valued by the sect.
