Chapter 40: Soul Filling
In the early hours of the morning, at 4:13.
The sweat slipped down drop by drop, but Su Zhe seemed to be unaware, just staring at the jade material in his hand, motionless.
On the ground to his right, there were eleven jade scraps with pitted surfaces that had completely lost their luster. And the one he was holding in his hand was the twelfth.
On it, two small seals are engraved in an orderly manner... No, one and a half, to be exact.
"There's still one last horizontal and vertical left. ”
Sticking out his tongue and licking his lips that were a little dry due to excessive nervousness, Su Zhe swallowed his saliva and slowly raised his right hand.
"Made, more than 200,000 have been scrapped tonight, if it doesn't succeed this time, I'm special..."
At this moment, if you want to ask Su Zhe what he is thinking, he will definitely answer that he regrets it.
Yes, regrets.
Why didn't you buy a bunch of two or three hundred and one to practice in the first place?
Why have you failed several times, but you still don't give up, and you still have to keep practicing?
Now it's okay, more than 200,000!
He could build a three-story house in his hometown.
It can only be said that this night he had too many illusions in life, one of the three major illusions - he will definitely succeed next time.
As a result, there were more than 30 failures.
Yes, after each previous failure, he did not rush to change the jade immediately, but continued to practice on it until he could no longer carve it at all.
So, although only eleven seeds were used. But in fact, he carved it a full thirty-seven times.
Fortunately, this time he finally saw the hope of success.
And he had a hunch that he would succeed this time.
"Steady, don't wave!"
Feeling that his mood was a little impetuous, Su Zhe's heart suddenly froze, and he hurriedly gave himself a warning.
"Whew..."
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, until he opened his eyes again, Su Zhe's gaze had become firm again, and the carving knife in his right hand slowly fell.
"Whe..."
One vertical and one folded.
"Very good, a steady horse... The last one!"
Raise your wrist and fall again...
"Zizi... Whe..."
“...”
No debris flew, no debris fell.
The font is square and symmetrical, and the structure is neat and orderly.
The mountains are on top, the armor is below, and the mountain armor is stacked on top of each other.
"Success?"
Su Zhe blinked slightly, and he couldn't react for a while.
No way, he failed so many times that he almost forgot what excitement and happiness were. On the contrary, frustration haunted him all the time.
It wasn't until nearly ten seconds had passed that he bounced up from the ground with a "pop", put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha... Hahaha... Finally the success of the horse!"
Laughing and laughing, tears almost fell again. Nima, this is a success that wasted more than 200,000 yuan.
It's too expensive!!
After a while, Su Zhe's mood calmed down again.
Seriously, it's still a little early for him to be happy, because this is just the first step. And then there's the real point.
Infuse the soul!
Infuse your own spiritual power into it, communicate the spiritual energy in the jade, and connect it to the runes. Only after this step is completed can the production of the ritual weapon be considered truly successful.
However, this second step is important simply because it is indispensable, and it is not as likely to fail as before. So Su Zhe was happy in advance, but it didn't hurt.
"Okay, I'll wait until I get back. Now, let's make this amulet first!"
Thinking of this, Su Zhe sat down cross-legged again, and placed the jade in his hand on the ground in front of him.
"Nine Palaces!"
With his soft drink, countless blue fluorescents were like mercury pouring on the ground, and in an instant, a huge nine-palace diagram with a radius of about two meters was formed under him. There are four disks of heaven, earth, man and god, Su Zhe sits on the ground and does not move like a mountain, and the other three disks are constantly rotating and moving according to an unknown trajectory, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.
"Bing!"
As soon as the Donkey Kong wheel seal came out, the airflow in the room surged instantly, and the aura began to converge wildly towards the Nine Palace Array.
"Fight!"
The ten fingers changed suddenly, and the outer lion suppressed it, and the chaotic aura that was still violent just now suddenly became gentle, flowing undulating around Su Zhe's body.
"Who!"
The lion seal turned from the outside to the inside, and Su Zhe suddenly felt that all the spiritual power was under my control. As soon as his mind moved, he pointed his right hand at the jade in front of him, and shouted softly: "Phew." ”
"Whew..."
Like a breeze, like a river.
The aura of heaven and earth that lingered around his body seemed to be pulled by some kind of tud, slowly flowing towards the jade stone lying quietly on the ground.
"Hum..."
Fluorescence soared.
This time, it is no longer only Su Zhe who can see it. It's a real shining aura.
The milky white light first seeped into the word "mountain carapace", submerging it little by little like flowing water, and then flowed into the jade. It's like pouring water into an empty bottle. Or, to put it another way... Charged?
However, perhaps because of the quality of the jade. As a result, the aura is only less than a third of the fill, and it can no longer stay in it. Su Zhe could only watch them wander around inside for a while, and then return to the heavens and the earth.
"Gotta... That's it. ”
If you can't force this kind of thing, if you continue to pour it, this talisman should be broken. Don't mess up what should be the easiest step and get him messed up, that's a joke. Immediately, as soon as he loosened his hands, the formation withdrew.
But when he saw the piece of jade in front of him, Su Zhe was stunned.
Originally, the jade material he used to carve was Hetian sheep fat jade. Although the quality is not bad, there is still a big gap between the best and the best. Not only is the color impure, but there are even very obvious traces of cracks in several places.
But at this time, after the spirit was filled, the flaws on this seed material disappeared completely!
Not only is the color as pure as snow-white gelatin, but the surface looks extremely delicate and smooth. Even the two seals carved on its surface have no trace of man-made, but give people a sense of natural formation.
Where is this 20,000 yuan of seed material that can be bought? It is simply the best mutton fat jade worth tens of millions!
At this moment, anyone who sees this piece of jade, even if they don't know that it is a magic weapon, can clearly feel its extraordinary.
"Made, can I make a fortune with this?"
For a moment, Su Zhe even had such an idea, but in an instant, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Su Zhe, Su Zhe, what are you thinking? Not to mention anything else, the ability that this talisman itself possesses now, even if it looks like a broken stone, is not something that money can measure. Aren't you sacrificing your roots?"
The amulet can withstand the full force of a late-stage Qi cultivation cultivator at most, what is this concept?
That's the real power of 10,000 pounds!
The strength of 5,000 kilograms can almost offset the vast majority of disasters, accidents, and even man-made injuries that non-human beings can resist.
That is to say, unless you encounter a monk at the peak level of Qi cultivation or above, or in a few cases such as sinking into the sea or falling into a volcano, having a talisman is equivalent to an extra life.
For the rich and powerful, is life valuable? Is it worth selling you a hundred million yuan for a magic weapon that can save your life?
In this way, you still want to sell jade? Do you think you are stupid?
"Shall I try its defenses?"
Although theoretically speaking, the highest defense of the talisman is that it can withstand the full force of the cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. However, that's just theory.
Really, the actual defense capability still depends on the quality of the jade. For example, the talisman in his hand was only infused with about one-third of the spiritual power. If you want to look at it according to the grade, it can only be counted as the next grade. It is impossible for a magic weapon of this level to reach the theoretical level.
Therefore, Su Zhe really wanted to test its actual ability.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
This thing is so expensive, he can't bear to test it in vain.
"If you go back and sell it to someone, it depends on his own creation to what extent he can defend himself. ”
This thing is enough for the average person. Because the likelihood of being attacked by the monks is not high, and things like car accidents are definitely more than enough to keep them safe. Anyway, Su Zhe doesn't plan to trick others, just give a thousand to tens of thousands.
As for the parents and sister, they must use the best amulet.
"It seems that we have to find a way to get a few pieces of superb jade. ”
After muttering softly, Su Zhe looked up at the sky. It's almost five o'clock, and I can toss for another half an hour. After thinking about it, he simply took out another seed from the box and continued to carve it.
Thirty.
Looking at the five talismans quietly placed in the box, the corners of Su Zhe's mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.
It took a full 11 pieces to be scrapped before it succeeded, and the price was not insignificant. But now, the five failed only once. This is not only an increase in the success rate, but more importantly, the future.
In the future, just relying on this amulet, he will definitely not have to worry about money. And this is just a first-order magic weapon. What about second-order, third-order, or even higher-level magic weapons in the future, and how much wealth would it bring to himself? He couldn't even think about it.
One might think. Is it so simple to make a tool or even alchemy?
That's because you haven't thought about it, if Su Zhe can't see those aura, what the result will be?
The answer is that there is no chance of half a point of success.
Yes, even if you have a finished recipe, you can't succeed.
The reason is very simple, after each medicinal material is put in, how much fire, how long it is boiled, and in what state, and then continue to put in the medicinal materials needed for the next process?
Do you know any of these?
Alchemy is not cooking, there is no reluctance, improvisation, and there will be that. In the absence of instruction, one point more or one point less is the direct result of complete failure.
Looking at it this way, do you still think it's simple?
And making a weapon is even more difficult than alchemy. Because the aura structure of each jade stone is different, unless you are experienced, one careless will destroy the aura node, which will lead to failure.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is normal to fail twenty or thirty times, and occasionally succeed once or twice. That's why magic weapons are so rare!
Therefore, strictly speaking, it is not that the alchemy maker is too simple. But Su Zhe's hexagram is really awesome!
