Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 50 Let me give it a light
Painting talismans was classified as a living by the Qingwei sect, and Zhou Yi was somewhat dissatisfied with it.

According to fortune telling by mountain doctors, apart from mountains, which means going to the mountains to practice Taoism, what else can't be done to make a living?
The operation of drawing a talisman is obviously extraordinary, so how can it be kept low-key and clean?

As a result, he accidentally discovered a special stone on Qingwei Mountain in the Dream World.

Due to his lack of realm, Shanxia Town always seemed out of reach. He spent every day in the dream world mainly fighting evil spirits.

To put it bluntly, it means polishing your mind and starting from getting rid of distracting thoughts.

Yin demons are transformed by distracting thoughts. Killing them is equivalent to recovering the part of the soul power combined with distracting thoughts.

But as he became more and more familiar with this job and his strength continued to improve, the difficulty became lower and lower.

The result is that what used to take several hours is now completed in less than an hour.

If you want to work overtime, your soul power won't allow it.

Fighting requires soul power, and his soul power has an upper limit.

He was already trying to fight with as little soul power as possible.

For example, he doesn't use explosive energy (spirit-raising slash) very much these days, let alone fighting with spirit.

Then he discovered a delicate balance.

This means that once this limit is exceeded, not only will it be inefficient and time-consuming, but you will be exhausted and you won’t be able to save much.

Therefore, blindly saving is not cost-effective.

Moreover, he had to leave some soul power to use in martial arts.

His skill proficiency has reached a bottleneck.

Perfection is the current ceiling. If you want to go up, let alone a shortcut, it would be good if you can find a way to climb.

And he made a comprehensive summary and believed that if you want to advance further, you must meet two conditions.

First, control your thoughts down to the smallest detail.

This is like the human technological system.

First there were weights and measures and standards, which was a level.

Raising the accuracy of creation to within an error of centimeters is another level.

Then there are micrometers. When turning the inner diameter of many equipment, lathes will use vernier calipers to be accurate to the 'wire'.

Then there is nano. The concept of nano has become a gimmick for many products. How warm are textiles at this level?

The same goes for his practice.

The human body is a very complex device that originally operates automatically.

Human consciousness is like people using smartphones, they only care about the application, regardless of the operating principles and background programs behind it.

Then he can adjust it to manual through spiritual practice.

But it is still very basic at present, just managing the operation of organs and the operation of the system.

He cannot control the precise secretion of glandular hormones, such as adrenaline, insulin, dopamine, etc.Not to mention cellular tissue.

Uncontrollable because there is no suitable tool.

This involves 'controlling thoughts down to the smallest detail', and more specifically, refining thoughts into silk.

If you want to make silk without interruption, you must be strong enough and pure enough.

You can learn from carbon tubes, graphene...

This depends on the practice of "Guiyuan Jue".

Of course, he also needs to actively kill evil spirits and get rid of distracting thoughts. This cannot be accomplished in a day.

Second, accumulate more and gain more.

In the past, I was able to quickly achieve the state of perfection because my own background and even relevant information from the outside world served as a demonstration.

To put it more bluntly, you have a vague idea of ​​what being a perfect person is like.

Because someone has done it, you have seen it, but you have not even thought about it.

This is like a mountain, covered by clouds and mist, but the mountain is there after all, and your goal is to climb this mountain.

Ordinary people just walk there step by step, but if you think of a way, you can jump or even use the cable car to go up.You took shortcuts by relying on technology.

But what comes next is beyond imagination.

Just like when you reach the top of a mountain and want to go higher, that means reaching the sky.

You don’t know how to ascend to heaven. Others may know it, but that is a method suitable only for others, and they won’t tell you.

You have no example to learn from, no convention to follow, you become a trailblazer.

What should you do at this time?
I can only try, make a bird wing, build a hang glider, wear a flying squirrel suit...

This is called thick accumulation, and when you find out the method that suits you, it is called thin hair.

Zhou Yi believes that his thin hair should have come together with 'Refining Thoughts into Silk'.

If you want to make a material that is light, thin, and can be airtight to catch the wind, it must at least be made of silk. Only silk can be made into silk.

He estimated that only after reaching the Nianrusi stage, he would be able to feel some details that he could not feel now, and thus further improve.

This is like observing with a microscope. The magnification determines what you can see and whether it is clear.

Now is the time to accumulate foundation again.

Didn't they say that luck equals preparation and opportunity?

He is preparing so that he can firmly seize the opportunity when the time comes.

Far away.

Due to the lack of adventure elements, every day in the dream world is just killing monsters and performing martial arts, which is relatively boring, so it seems a bit unworthy of mention.

It's like clocking in from [-] to [-] every day, without any excitement and no stories worth mentioning.

With some free time left, Zhou Yi chose to visit Qingwei Mountain.

I don’t have enough soul power to do anything, but I’m still allowed to walk around.

He had tasted the sweetness of 'scavenging' again and again before, so he naturally hoped to gain more.

And then there really is.

A casual glance.

Huh?Why is that stone a little red?The red one is unnatural, it doesn't look natural.

He walked over and picked it up, and found that it was a broken stone seal.

A third of it was broken into pieces and was no longer usable, so it was thrown away.I guess so.

He was interested in all the man-made creations on Qingwei Mountain, so he studied them.

Included in the display, copy with plasticine and stamp on paper.

Finally, he confirmed that this was a sigil that he had not yet mastered.

Although there were a lot of missing parts, and with his knowledge of talismans, he couldn't complete them at all and could only look at them for a while, but this opened a window for him.

"I'll go! This talisman can also be printed to fool people!"

He was previously dissatisfied with the idea of ​​making a living by drawing talismans. Another important reason was that the whole thing consumed a lot of spiritual energy and soul power.

He had even considered the savings in spiritual and soul power that would come from becoming proficient in skills and using qualified cinnabar-yellow paper and talisman pens as carriers and magical tools, but he still felt that it was not worth it.

It's okay for personal use, but it can be sold. How much should this thing cost?Can ordinary people afford it?

More importantly, everyone has times when they are weak.

Can a fledgling Taoist priest successfully draw two talismans in one day?

Did nibbling on old age become popular at that time?How about hanging out with a master for ten or eight years?Did they all come here like this?Is this Taoist cultivator a bit awkward?

Of course, if we refer to the modern nine-year compulsory education + higher education studies, ten or eight years would be reasonable.

But he always felt that even those who entered Taoism, big or small, mainly focused on enlightenment education at the beginning.Be able to read and understand sentences and improve your literacy.

At worst, it can be like those schools under modern semi-military management, add some professional materials and cultivate habits early.

From this perspective, he has a very solid foundation of cultural literacy, just like a scholar practicing Taoism.

In this case, it will take ten or eight years before we can be self-sufficient. This is not a problem of slow pace, but of outrageousness.

The average life expectancy of the ancients was not very high. They got married and had children in their teens. Although the pace of life was slow, every industry involved learning and applying at the same time. Apprentices became laborers, and after two or three years, they often became very skilled assistants. Those who are smart and eager to learn already lack experience.

In comparison, this cultivation is too cold and cold, and this kind of livelihood, before you can really support yourself, you are afraid that you will starve to death, right?

After picking up the talisman, Zhou Yi felt that the case had been solved.

The talisman that the talisman master draws seriously is one kind.

Block printing is another kind.

Well, it’s hard to learn well, but it can be hard to learn badly. I can do it even if I do it!

After some attempts, Zhou Yi finally figured it out.

After all, there is a dream world, where the cost of trial and error is relatively low when operating there.

He compared it to an extraordinary version of a supercomputer.

On the modern earth, supercomputers are top-notch research and development capabilities.

All kinds of simulation calculations are done in detail, and the practical operation can greatly save real-time time, material consumption, manpower consumption, etc.

He is the same, now tinkering in the dream world, it's almost time to test it in reality.

The reason I called Meng Laicai before was because I had achieved results in the dream world.

In reality, if we want to advance, it will not be too slow.

It was simply because the Qi Sea had not long been opened up at that time and he was not in a hurry to spend money. He did not feel that this project was qualified to block the way of practice, even martial arts practice.

Today, taking this opportunity, he thought he might as well give it a try.

The consecration talisman, and then like a pork inspection stamp, 'Crack! 'Once stamped, ordinary weapons and equipment have become quasi-magical weapons. The level of this upgrade has been improved, which makes me feel happy just thinking about it!

So he asked people in the army to help find granite.

This kind of rock itself has good water permeability and facilitates the passage of spiritual energy.

The key is that there are not many kinds of stones in Qingwei Mountain for him to test, and granite is the most common.

This requirement is satisfied if the troops are naturally efficient.

Buy directly from the nearby stone processing factory.

The people at the stone quarry even asked jokingly: "What? The leader wants to see a big stone broken on his chest?"

After the stone was transported back, Zhou Yi directly pulled out the autumn water knife.

To deal with the robbers on the train, he mastered the spirit knife throwing in desperation.

This move can be split into two parts, one is the spiritual sword and the other is throwing.

Throwing mainly relies on telekinesis to lock and guide to enhance accuracy.

The spiritual sword is a kind of enchantment, which makes the weapon blessed with spiritual power and sharpened.

Now, this spiritual sword method is used.

The Qiu Shui Knife with added spiritual power is extremely sharp. In addition, his basic boxing skills are basic swordsmanship. The proficient level of swordsmanship is extremely powerful. The hard granite is like tofu under the Qiu Shui Knife. !Click! 'It was cut into small pieces, with a smooth cross-section, more delicate than rough grinding, and slightly worse than fine grinding with oil sandpaper.

The officers and soldiers responsible for delivering the materials were secretly dumbfounded. They turned around and gossiped with their comrades: These masters and disciples are both very capable...

Engraving talismans also requires the blessing of the Spiritual Saber.

Even so, several pieces were still broken.

This is because granite has different tolerances for details, and a gap will be broken during the carving process.

Although the gap is small, it makes the texture of the runes non-standard, which is useless.

After the talisman is carved, we need olive oil and find a pressure-bearing iron can for soaking.

While soaking, Zhou Yi releases spiritual power to melt the oil and apply pressure.

After finishing moistening, he took the talisman in his hand and penetrated it with spiritual power.

It took nearly three hours, and the spiritual power consumed was enough to perform the Spiritual Talisman Technique ten times at most.

But it's all worth it.

I dare not say that it will be done once and for all, but it will be much more convenient to use in the future.

Next, you need to add a cover to the thick brick-like seal.Prevent spiritual energy from overflowing from all sides when passing through.

This time the book of changes selected materials from other worlds.

Through the weaving process, it is set on the seal like a rope, the bottom is a seal, and the top is used to hold and input spiritual power.

After absorbing spiritual power, this kind of thin vine will expand and stick to pieces like objects soaked in water, thus increasing the tightness.

Another characteristic of it is that it has poor air conductivity and strong contact conductivity.

So the overflowing spiritual power is blessed on it, and it will be fed back to the stone instead of being transmitted to the surrounding air.

In addition, this spiritual talisman seal is also determined by the person, and the effect is different depending on the amount of spiritual power input.

Of course, there is an upper limit.

And it also fits the saying that ditties are easy to sing but difficult to sing.

If the height is higher than the upper limit of the effect, manual control is better, and the difference can be huge.

But compared to the lower limit, because it is standardized enough, it is stronger than those who are new to the way of talismans.

At least it guarantees validity.The premise is that spiritual power above the standard line is input and the imprinting process is regular.

Zhou Yi also specially prepared a special 'gold paste'.

Products such as cinnabar and gold lacquer were limited by productivity and production technology in ancient times. The materials and even finished products were unstable in quality and expensive.

But in modern times, it is easy to get the so-called best in related memories.

The formula naturally comes from the related inheritance of Hua Fu.

It can be outlined in the void with spiritual power, and can also be loaded on objects. This is a complete set. The types of talismans are not complete, but the basic part of the talisman is complete.

It even includes the manufacturing process of authentic yellow watch paper.

Dip it in gold paste, pour it into spiritual power, and put the seal directly on the back inside the equipment.

Specifically, it is in the center of the shoulder blade, the place that is hardest to reach with your hands.

After the seal was stamped, the tiny veins expanded, like micro expansion, and like roots extending. Zhou Yi didn't know how long this consecration process would last.

He realized that increasing the supply of spiritual power might make it faster.

But he restrained himself.He was afraid of giving too much and making a big fuss.

I thought maliciously, if because of him, a stamping industry spawned, treating people as spiritual weapons + spiritual power batteries, how many martial arts practitioners would he curse?

He could even think of related images: a certain martial artist, forced by life, came somewhere, went through the process, and sold the spiritual power he had finally accumulated like blood.

What's more, there are special organizations that capture those warriors who have no backing or come from other places, and have them exported by force. If they don't cooperate, they will be beaten to death...

This is how human society is. When technology is invented, it is often first tried to be used for violence.

Strength is respected, and naturally the core of everything revolves around how to improve strength.

One day later, Zhou Yi found that he still couldn't control the light properly. The light was a bit too much.

The surface of the equipment begins to reflect the characteristics of electroplating.

Originally, for the sake of concealment, they specially did a matte treatment.

Now it's better, Sprite is mixed with wine, and the sugar is restored.

When you put it on again at this time, it is no longer a motorcycle killer, but the 2014 version of RoboCop.

As long as you are not blind, you can see the difference.

Although this set of NO.1 has been classified as a souvenir (provided that Zhou Yi performs well at the end of the pass), it can be beautified, but it is still a bit early.

"What happened to it?"

Faced with questions from the troops who were more curious than accountable, Zhou Yi could only answer honestly: blessings from secret techniques.

The other party's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can it be used universally?"

"At least not yet."

"Can we let the factory inspect it? They have a team coming with professional equipment."

"Not yet." Zhou Yi began to regret his saucy operation.

Appearing in front of others is indeed very important, but it also depends on the time and occasion. At this time, it seems that there is no need to pretend. If you do, it is superfluous and is asking for trouble.

Of course, these are his self-righteous thoughts and inferences. In fact, this disguise is the right one...
