In the great world of martial arts, you use the Tao of Talisman to rule the ages

Chapter 3 I turned out to be a genius
  Except Chen Lin.

Lao Ba, who is only thirteen years old, also has a hazy aura.

The two are making similar progress.

The next day, Lao Ba came over and sincerely shared his cultivation experience.

Chen Lin also told everyone about his cultivation insights and confirmed each other.

In the afternoon, the two returned to their respective houses to practice.

When they came out at dinner time, they looked at each other with two sad faces.

None were successful.

They are like a pair of brothers among the eight people.

Apart from Chen Lin and Lao Ba, there is another pair of brothers in distress.

That's the second child and the seventh child.

The qualifications of these two people seem to be worse than Chen Lin.

Until now, I haven’t felt anything at all. My daily meditation practice is just pure sitting.

This morning, Chen Lin came back from meditating outside.

Just in time, I saw the door of Lao Qi's room open, and he took out many things from it. Among them, he saw talismans, paper, cinnabar and other objects, and he walked in one direction.

"Over there is..."

He went to Lao Ba to ask.

Lao Ba half-opened the door and whispered, "Don't you know yet?"

"That Li Tao has already persuaded him."

"advise?"

"Seeing that Lao Qi has never started, Li Tao told him to stop practicing and send him the talisman materials he purchased before. From now on, Li Tao will ensure that he and his family will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime as a monk."

"Li Tao also came to see me the day before yesterday, but I didn't agree. I guess you will soon..."

After saying that, Lao Ba closed the door.

Chen Lin stood outside.

"An off-the-chart move?"

In the next few days, Chen Lin was ready to be called to his door.

But for some unknown reason, Li Tao didn't come to him.

Gradually, he put this matter aside and devoted himself to cultivation.

……

……

In a blink of an eye.

The twenty-fifth day.

The morning sun rises in the east, the stars recede, the vast sky is gradually lit up, the purple air comes from the east, the auspicious light shines, and the morning glow is like a golden waterfall, filling the sky.

Chen Lin was sitting cross-legged in the morning dew on the mountain, practicing, when he suddenly caught a trace of flowing energy, and the invisible veil that had been covering his body faintly moved.

"Use your body as a furnace, use your heart as a fire, hold your essence and keep it together, and let your luck flow to the sky..."

Boom!
  My heart vibrated like a bell, suddenly enlightened!
  A mysterious power suddenly arises in the body, flowing in the meridians. Although it is as weak as fire, it can continuously introduce new power from the outside world.

It’s as if a bridge has been built between the body and the heaven and earth.

Like an arowana in the water, every pore can feel the rich aura of heaven and earth around it.

"First level of Qi refining!"

Chen Lin opened his eyes, excitement appearing in his eyes.

I have been stuck on the entry bottleneck for more than half a month, and now I finally have a breakthrough!

My heart was filled with excitement, and the magic power in my body felt warm. In this June season, not only was it not hot, but it made me feel comfortable all over.

"Next, I have to stabilize my realm, go back and have another week of luck, and then I also have to practice the talisman!"

"We have five days to go back to the martial arts world. Time is running out. We must get familiar with it and consolidate it as soon as possible..."

Get up and prepare to return to the house.

As a result, after walking a few steps, I heard a voice.

"Junior sister, you are wrong, this talisman should be drawn like this..."

At the corner ahead, under the trees among the flowers, a pair of dogs and men were leaning against each other, one behind the other, holding hands and rubbing in front of a piece of talisman paper.

Chen Lin's face turned dark.

Among the two people, one was Li Tao, the eldest, and the other was the sixth eldest, an unruly rich girl.

They were both the first two to get started.

They naturally hooked up.

Just as he was about to go back in another direction, he suddenly heard the two people talking.

"Brother, I saw that Li Mingzhang practicing outside again yesterday. He was really hardworking..."

"Junior sister, don't worry. He is the second among the eight in age. He is similar to me, but his talent is so much lower than mine. Even if he practices Taoism in the future, Master will not choose him to be the true successor."

"What you really need to pay attention to is that thirteen-year-old boy. He is six years younger than me and two years younger than you. Once he enters the Tao, he will be the strongest threat..."

"What about the others?"

"There is nothing to be afraid of if you and I join forces."

Chen Lin was in the secret place, his face darker.

I said why didn't this guy come to "persuade" me before?

The co-author feels that my qualifications are too poor and I am too old to be a threat to him even if I join the Tao!
  At this moment, I didn’t even mention it, so there was nothing to be afraid of...

Hey!
  But think about it, of this pair of dogs, one is the oldest and has the best qualifications, and the other has the second highest qualifications and is also younger.

There is really no need to worry about someone like you who is old and lacks qualifications.

The truth is the sharpest knife.

After trying to figure this out, Chen Lin felt a little stuck in his heart.

"The qualification issue is difficult to solve in a short time...but I can straddle both worlds, so I should have some advantages."

"Let's see in the future!"

……

Hut.

Chen Lin completed a week and consolidated a little bit of the increased mana.

He took out the talisman equipment he had purchased before and prepared to officially start learning talismans.

Formations, elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans are collectively referred to as the Four Arts of Immortality. Among them, the formation method requires qualifications and understanding.

The elixir magic weapon requires strong financial resources, which can be used to purchase elixir cauldrons, magic furnaces, venues, and various training materials.

Only Fu Lu is the most close to the people.

The only materials for practicing at the beginning are cinnabar, realgar, talisman paper, pens and other common items. If these are not available, you can also find other psychic items to replace them.

For example, you can use animal blood for cinnabar, animal skins and old bark for talisman paper, and you can use your own fingers for talisman pens.

There are no requirements for a venue, just a table is enough.

Later, when the realm is high, you can also draw talismans in the void, place the talisman on your body, and hide the talisman in the gods...

Hey!
  No materials are even needed!
  These are all mentioned in "Introduction to Talismans".

Chen Lin read the entire article and saw one word between the lines:

"Poor skills!"

"But it suits me just right!"

"Especially considering my situation in the martial arts world, I really can't even come up with a talisman pen."

A stack of yellow talisman paper is spread out on the table, containing spiritual light.

Open a box of cinnabar and mix it with the best spiritual ink, and keep a small piece of ice heart stone on hand to help control your mana.

The hand is a fifty-year-old peachwood talisman pen, and the hair on the pen tip comes from the Prairie Wolf King three thousand miles away.

The candlestick in front of me lights a stick of the same sandalwood that the Master used when giving lectures, which makes people feel at ease.

These were all purchased by the Master by setting aside spiritual stones.

"start!"

……

Half an hour later.

Chen Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the five useless talismans in front of him:

"The talismans don't seem to be suitable for me."

You can draw the talisman as you like, and you can draw it however you want.

A young monk like him must strictly control his magic power when drawing talismans, and draw the spiritual patterns required by the talismans accurately to be effective.

However, his body has poor cultivation aptitude and poor control over his magic power, which makes it difficult to move through the meridians...

I can't even draw the Qingfeng Talisman, which only has six strokes.

"It's normal that I'm not a talisman genius. I just need to practice more and make up for my shortcomings with diligence."

"The greatest growth for a person is to realize his own mediocrity."

But never settle for mediocrity!
  Next five days.

Chen Lin devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation and talismans.

Apart from eating, bathing and sleeping, I basically spend the rest of my time practicing, and I am not even in the mood to go out and relax.

In addition to practicing every day, I draw talismans.

Even so, his cultivation has not made much progress, it can only be said to be stable.

I was able to draw five of the six strokes of Qingfeng Talisman.

But this is the result of practicing and destroying dozens of talismans...

"You're really not a genius!"

On the last night of June in the world of immortality, Chen Lin lay in bed and completely accepted the reality, keeping his eyes open until the sunrise.

then……

Crack!

There was an explosion from the flames in front of him.

Frostbite in various parts of the body sent tingling signals.

"It's back again."

Chen Lin opened his eyes, and what he saw was the fire he had lit in the house before "January". He was still wearing the same linen and straw jacket, his palms were chapped and the skin was cracked, and the soles of his feet had several cold-cracked and outward wounds. No blood can flow out.

When the time came for him to enter the world of immortality, he returned to the world of martial arts.

From a promising Talisman Master apprentice, he turned back into a struggling young hunter, or woodcutter...

Not counting the time he traveled to Earth, this was his second time traveling back to the martial arts world.

Chen Lin adapted quickly this time, added dry firewood to the stove and continued to do what he had not finished a month ago.

Make a fire and cook.

For ordinary people, they can usually only make a fire while cooking.

Luckily for him, there was always no shortage of firewood, so he could warm himself up in the house as he pleased.

Unfortunately, other things are always lacking.

Grab a handful of snow from outside, boil it in the only clay pot at home, and then add a handful of brown rice.

Just wait next.

Chen Lin huddled up to warm himself by the fire, mumbling in his mouth.

He was memorizing the Yanmu Sutra.

He expected that he would not be able to bring anything back from the world of cultivating immortals, so he memorized the exercises by heart early on.

He memorized more than 5,000 words of exercises while practicing, and it took him nearly ten days to memorize them.

"...like a thread, the fire is passed from generation to generation, endless, concentrating the soul, refining the energy and returning to the origin..."

The gentle chanting is accompanied by the slight sound of the flames devouring the dry firewood, which is invisibly connected with the principle of using the power of wood to help the fire in the "Flame Wood Sutra".

Chen Lin was thinking about it and gradually fell into a trance.

Feelings of comfort spread throughout the body, a trace of warmth rose up out of thin air in the body, and a familiar power began to sprout within the body...

Snapped!
  The dry wood burned out, making a final crackling sound.

Like a loud bell piercing my ears!
  Chen Lin, who was in a trance, suddenly woke up.

"This is?"

He subconsciously checked himself, and a fire-like mana was flowing through his meridians!

"First level of Qi refining?"

"Is this the beginning of Taoism?"

"Nah...my body is actually a genius?!"
