The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 340 The magical worry-relieving ink (please subscribe!)

Xu Zhiyu and Wan Li glanced at each other, and after some exchange of glances, it was the latter who spoke first.

"Brother Zhu, I would like to ask if you learned this talisman-making technique from someone, or did you learn it by yourself without a teacher?"

This is asking whether he has any teachers. Some people may think that this question is irrelevant, but if they think so, they are totally wrong.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are two ways to learn skills. One is to find a master from an early age and become his disciple. After a long period of study, you can finally learn a skill. This is also the mainstream method of learning skills. right way. In the world of cultivating immortals, most monks who are born in a family or a sect force choose this path.

However, the largest number of people in the world of cultivating immortals are still casual cultivators. They do not have such a good life. If they want to learn the various skills of cultivating immortals, no one will be willing to teach them. However, in order to obtain more cultivation resources, they also If you hope to master a hundred arts of cultivating immortality, then there is only one other way left, and that is self-study.

Casual cultivators either rob or buy, get a inheritance of a hundred arts of cultivating immortals, make up their minds to learn, and then spend countless spiritual stones to buy various spiritual objects they need, either elixirs, spiritual materials, talismans, or It was the formation base, and then I started to study crazily, trial and error again and again, based on the instructions in the inheritance and my own understanding, and experimented over and over again until I succeeded.

This method has great limitations. Most casual cultivators are not rich, so how can they consume so many spiritual stones? Therefore, when they occasionally get inheritance, they will sell it at a high price except for making a copy for themselves. They may not try to learn the copy they have in their hands. The reason is that the risks and benefits are not proportional.

In the long process of development of the world of immortality, whether it is alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, or formation skills, they have actually become increasingly perfect. Each skill has a relatively fixed model in it. Later scholars only need to follow this model to Learning, whether it is entry level or subsequent deeper learning, will be easier.

Even if you encounter a bottleneck that you can't solve by yourself, you can still ask your master for advice, because he has also walked this path step by step, so he can basically answer the disciple's questions. Even if he can't answer, then there are others. You can ask for advice, because everyone comes from the same system. If someone doesn't know it, then there must be someone who can.

But it's different if you're self-taught, because there are thousands of people with different views, and everyone has their own understanding of a certain skill, and the forms of expression are ever-changing. Take talisman making as an example, a simple pen-holding posture can have There are dozens or hundreds of ways to hold it, including two-finger hold, three-finger hold, the whole hand is used, and it is not impossible to hold it directly in the palm of the hand.

When these small differences accumulate, they will become further and further away from the orthodox Talisman Making Technique. If you encounter a problem and want to ask someone for advice, you can't find anyone because the growing environment is different. If you make a mistake, it will be a thousand miles away. This is it. reason.

Judging from Wang Changyou's drawing process just now, Xu Zhiyu has judged that he is definitely from Yeluzi. Xiangbi Wanli also saw this, so he asked this question.

In fact, the Xu family's talisman-making technique was not passed down from generation to generation, but was accidentally acquired by an ancestor of the Xu family's "De" generation from a casual cultivator. It has a history of only more than two hundred years and has just begun. I also researched it myself and finally passed it down from generation to generation.

Originally, Xu Zhiyu didn't think there was any difference between his talisman-making skills and others, but Zhao Tao kindly pointed it out to him. Finally, after repairing the talisman with the fifth-level inheritance, he compared it with the video With the simultaneous inheritance, he began to put a lot of effort into adjusting his various drawing habits. He can now be said to have a serious background.

"Yes, Brother Wan has good eyesight. When I was young, I accidentally received a second-level talisman-making inheritance. Since then, I have started to learn the talisman-making technique by myself. What? Is there anything wrong?" Wang Changyou asked in surprise.

Wan Li thought this was indeed the case, and then said with a wry smile:

"Then I may not be able to do anything. Each path of self-study is different. To be honest, I also taught myself how to make talismans, so I don't understand the problem you are encountering now. There is really nothing I can do to help you."

However, seeing Wang Changyou's dimmed eyes, he gave another solution and added:
  "But Fellow Daoist Wang, you don't need to be discouraged. I heard that there is a third-level mid-level talisman maker in the inner city of Fang City. As long as you are willing to spend a certain amount of spiritual stones, he is willing to teach anyone how to make talismans. Your The problem has no solution in our eyes, maybe in the eyes of a third-level Talisman Maker, the problem can be seen at a glance?"

Seeing that his useless method had frightened everyone, he felt proud that he had come up with a quick wit. After all, everyone had pinned their hopes on him. If he had no solution, then his prestige in the group would be at stake. will drop.

But before he could be happy for a long time, Old Man Miao spoke: "Brother Wan, your idea is not very good. Others may not know about the third-level Talisman Maker you are talking about, but I know it very well. That is a fallen person. People who come to the pile of spiritual stones want to learn something from him, and the spiritual stones they spend are not just a few, but many, many. For people like Lao Wang who are stuck in a bottleneck and can't break through, he likes it best, teaching him again and again. When he comes down, his storage bag will probably be empty, and this doesn’t guarantee that he will be able to break through the bottleneck, so you just say it’s a trick or not, right?”

Obviously, Deacon Miao was well-informed and knew the details of this person better than Wan Li. Moreover, he was not targeting anyone by saying this. He was just telling the truth. Others also respected him for this reason.

Finally, Wang Changyou turned his attention to Xu Zhiyu. After Wan Li finished speaking, he was very excited about this method, but after Deacon Miao finished his supplements, he felt that he could not choose this path unless it was a last resort.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I just saw that when you were superimposing the second layer of runes, your spiritual power output seemed to become particularly unstable. This caused the superposition to fail and finally exploded. I wonder if this is the case?"

Xu Zhiyu did not hide anything and pointed out his problem directly. The reason why he was able to discover it was that he absorbed the life experience of the third-level Talisman Master Wei Kaijiang. The third-level Talisman Master is more powerful than the second-level Talisman Master. With more people and richer experience, many problems can be discovered.

The second reason is that with the breakthrough in cultivation, his spiritual consciousness has become more powerful. When his spiritual consciousness is stronger, he can discover details that ordinary monks cannot discover. Now his spiritual consciousness is spread out and can cover a thousand people around him. A distance of three hundred feet.

What is the concept? A monk who has completed the ninth level of foundation building and is ready to break through the Zifu. Generally speaking, the limit of spiritual consciousness is one thousand feet. Very few monks can break through this limit. But now he has not only surpassed it easily, but also far away. overtake. A normal monk on the first level of the Zi Mansion has a spiritual consciousness intensity of three thousand feet. He is still far inferior to it now. However, after entering the Zi Mansion, his spiritual consciousness intensity can be said to be unparalleled.

"Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Xu is very observant. The factor that led to the failure just now was because I output too much spiritual power at the last moment, which caused the entire rune to fall short and explode in the end. To be honest, Fellow Daoist, I have done countless things myself. Adjustments have been made several times, but the speed in between is really difficult to grasp, and when the two runes match, the opportunity is only a split second, so it is really difficult to be accurate. Now that my fellow Taoist has discovered the reason why I failed to draw There must be a solution, right? Please give me some advice from fellow Taoists, and Wang will be rewarded generously!"

Wang Changyou said excitedly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he asked Xu Zhiyu again and again for advice. Others also looked at him with reverence, because they had just watched Wang Changyou draw the magic talisman together, but he was the only one who saw the clues, which in itself explained a lot of problems.

He was not in a hurry to answer, but took out an exquisite jade box from the storage ring. It was also engraved with extremely mysterious runes, making anyone who saw the box think that it contained good things. . He opened the jade box and carefully took out something from the box. This object is one inch wide and three inches long, in the shape of a cylinder. It is none other than a piece of spiritual ink.

Seeing this, everyone was confused, because this thing didn't look much different from other spiritual inks. Xu Zhiyu took in all these expressions, but still didn't speak. He just handed the thing to Wang Changyou and said to him Make a please gesture.

Although he was very suspicious in his heart, Wang Changyou still took the spiritual ink, cleared out the spiritual ink in the original spiritual inkstone, and began to use this piece of spiritual ink to grind the ink again.

When all the preparations were done, without Xu Zhiyu's instructions, he began to draw the 'Fire Knife Talisman'. Although he didn't think that changing a piece of spiritual ink would have much effect, but facing the only thing he could find now, he was promoted Those who failed to become a second-level high-grade Talisman Maker can only comply with the requests.

Soon Wang Changyou reached the step that failed before, and failed without any surprise. The magic talisman still exploded, but the difference was.

"what?"

"what?"

Two soft chirps sounded, and the first one was from Wang Changyou. He was filled with surprise and surprise, while Wan Li was simply surprised and puzzled. Others were even more confused and did not understand at all. At the moment of failure, everyone thought that Xu Zhiyu only looked confident, but in fact it was just a bluff.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, after I used spiritual ink like yours just now, I found that I became more comfortable in conveying spiritual energy. It was as if there was a tacit understanding between the spiritual energy and I. They no longer became so violent, but changed. It seems to become more docile, and it seems to be faster and slower, sometimes more and sometimes less, according to my control. This feeling is really wonderful. With the help of this spiritual ink, I believe I can definitely break through the second-level high-grade system within half a year. Talisman Master, this kind of spiritual ink is really amazing!"

The more I talked, the more excited I, Wang Changyou, became. When he finally said it, he held Lingmo tightly in his hand, as if he didn't intend to let go. Seeing this, Deacon Miao smiled and said:
  "Old Wang, you are wrong. Fellow Daoist Xu only lent you the spiritual ink to use, and did not say that he would give this treasure to you. Is it inappropriate for you to keep it as your own?"

"You talk a lot, how can I take other people's things for nothing?" He first scolded his unscrupulous friend, then turned his head, bowed solemnly, and then said to Xu Zhiyu:
  "Fellow Daoist Xu, you can see that this Lingmo is extremely important to me. If you are willing to part with me, then make a price. Lao Wang, I have a small fortune, so I will never counter-offer!"

Xu Zhiyu pretended to be embarrassed on the surface and seemed reluctant to part with it, but he was already happy in his heart.

He found this spiritual ink formula on that talisman. Xu Zhisong encountered the same problem as Wang Changyou during the process of drawing the spiritual talisman. In order to help Brother Eleven solve the problem, he reorganized the talisman that recorded countless Talisman knowledge from scratch. I checked it out to the end and finally discovered a magical method of making spiritual ink.

This kind of spiritual ink uses the spiritual water of heaven and earth as a guide, supplemented by the blood of eight other demonic beasts, precious second-level elixirs, and spiritual ore powder, and can only be made after more than a dozen tedious processes.

When he first made this kind of spiritual ink for Xu Zhisong, he realized that it contained huge business opportunities, because a large part of the reason why the talisman maker failed to make talismans was that he could not control the spiritual power input into the talisman paper. , so he collected as much material as possible and made a thousand pieces of this spiritual ink. At the same time, he also gave it a very nice name called - Jieyou Lingmo.

Seeing the other party's anxious look, Xu Zhiyu didn't want to delay too much and immediately said:

"To be honest, fellow Taoist Wang and fellow Taoists, this spiritual ink is made from the secret recipe passed down from my family's ancestors. The process is complicated, the materials used are exquisite, and the success rate is extremely low, so the price is also extremely expensive. That's it. A small piece costs 2,500 spirit stones, but since I met Taoist Fellow Wang for the first time today, I will sell this item to Fellow Taoist Master Wang at half price, what do you think?"

To say that he is really evil and ruthless, the average cost of the thousand pieces of worry-relieving spirit ink that he made at the beginning was only one two hundred spirit stones. He opened his mouth and doubled the price more than ten times. He was not afraid that the other party would not want it, because it was more valuable to other people. It is of great use, and he has asked around and found that there are no similar spiritual objects on the market. This is the reason why things are rare and valuable.

"Two thousand and five hundred spiritual stones are not expensive, so expensive! But I am extremely happy that fellow Taoist can agree to transfer this thing. How can I still buy it at half the price? This is impossible. Here is two thousand and five hundred spirit stones. The hundred lower grade spiritual stones, fellow Taoist, keep them!"

Xu Zhiyu originally wanted to pretend to give in, but under the advice of Deacon Miao and others, he reluctantly accepted. At the same time, he also told Wang Changyou that if he needed it again in the future, he could go to his newly opened store to buy it. He promptly brought up the matter of opening a store.

As soon as they heard this, the thoughts of several other people also became excited. Since this product has been proven to be effective, everyone actually wanted to buy one and keep it nearby for later use. So when they heard what he said, they all expressed their willingness to buy it.

He took the opportunity to invite everyone to the opening ceremony of his store and informed everyone of the date.

After that, several people started to exchange their regular experience in making talismans. In order to shock this group of people, Xu Zhiyu would give practical suggestions no matter what kind of problems he encountered, greatly increasing his status among this group of people.

Before, he was not sure how many people would actually come under the invitation just now, but when he showed his profound knowledge of making talismans and his rich experience in making talismans, these people were really convinced. Not only did they say that they would come, but also He also said that he would bring other friends to support him.

This made Xu Zhiyu extremely happy. His purpose of attending this party was completely achieved, and it could even be said that it far exceeded his expectations. The most important thing was to increase the popularity of his own store, and at the same time, he also found a market for Jieyou Lingmo, which was an accident. Very happy.

Perhaps in order to repay him and thank him, after the party, Wang Changyou actually suggested that they go to the store that Xu's family was about to open to recognize the door. This proposal also received a response from everyone. Naturally, he wanted it, and he led everyone straight to the store where Xu's family was about to open. Go to the renovated shop.
