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

Chapter 5 Another use of spells

Hungry, hot porridge is eaten.

If it were the first two months, Chen Lin would definitely smack his lips and feel his stomach is satisfied.

But now, he was still unfinished, and the vague feeling of emptiness in his heart made him couldn't help but look at the remaining brown rice.

He stared blankly for a few breaths.

Chen Lin shook his head and returned to his body rationally.

“No matter how much brown rice you eat, it’s useless.”

"The emptiness in the body caused by practicing Taoism and refining mana last night cannot be replenished by eating this kind of food."

The monk's magic power is composed of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and his own essence. When the monk operates his skills, the two are combined and sublimated in a certain ratio to become magic power.

As for the specific fusion ratio, it depends on the level of the technique.

"The Flame Wood Sutra" is not a top-level skill. Every time you refine a new bit of mana, you have to invest at least eight points of essence, and the ratio of spiritual energy is only 20%.

Yesterday, he had an epiphany and entered Taoism, but the mana he extracted was very little. If he used it to draw talismans, he could only draw eighteen strokes in one go, combining three Qingfeng talismans.

It is not as good as the body in the world of immortality. Although the qualifications there are poor, there are sufficient medicines and food, the body has sufficient reserves of essence, and the mana after entering the Tao can draw thirty talisman patterns.

Fortunately, mana is based on essence.

As long as the essence that forms the foundation of mana is not dispersed, it can be gradually replenished by breathing in spiritual energy, taking elixirs, etc.

Equivalent to leeks, as long as the root "Jingyuan" is still there, it will grow back.

It's not like you have to refine new mana when you run out of it.

……

……

"Mana is not a big problem. It is easy to refine mana in my body. As long as there is enough essence, maybe I can catch up with another body by taking a breath..."

This is how Chen Lin feels now.

At this time, his sense of the spiritual energy of the surrounding world is much stronger than that of the immortal world.

The aura of heaven and earth around him simply wanted to actively penetrate into his body... He even had to be careful not to let his skills accidentally start running along with his magic power.

Otherwise, if he loses another sum of energy to go out, he may lose his original source and end up vomiting blood and lying in bed.

"If you want to refine new mana next, you have to replenish your body!"

"Either take supplements or eat big meat!"

Across the door.

Chen Lin turned his head and stared into the void in the direction of the mountain.

Without money or power, if he wanted to take supplements and eat meat, he could only rely on the snow-capped mountains next to him.

The mountain next to it is called "Xiaojin Mountain" and stretches for dozens of miles. There are countless treasures, elixirs, and strange beasts hidden in it. There are hundreds of hunters at the foot of the mountains. Every few years, a tiger hunting warrior becomes famous overnight. .

It is said that gold mines were discovered during the previous dynasty, which caused a craze...

But even if it is such a treasure mountain, Xiaojin Mountain is just a remnant of another mountain extending deeper.

According to legend, that is the real treasure mountain.

Chen Lin didn't know much about the deeper mountain. He only knew that the hunters who entered generally had martial arts skills, otherwise it would be easy to enter and difficult to exit.

Uncle Sheng, who had spent the winter in the county town before, once boasted that his son had followed his martial arts master there.

……

At this moment, Chen Lin had no intention of exploring these secrets.

He thought about eating meat.

"Although I have inherited the memories from the past, I was also a novice hunter in the past. I was not good at all skills. If I really want to hunt good things in the mountains, I probably have to rely on the spells I have memorized in my mind..."

The spells recorded in "Introduction to Talismans" are all entry-level. Although they are suitable for mortals, there are no spells specially prepared for Orions.

but.

If the mountain doesn't come, I'll leave it. If I leave, I'll leave the mountain!
  "For example, the person-finding talisman is explained in the book as being used to find people within a certain range."

"The principle is that after the spell is used, the spiritual power on it will disperse in all directions. When ordinary people breathe, the spiritual power will be absorbed into the body. In this way, the user can follow the traces of the spiritual power to find the hidden person..."

"But most animals can breathe too!"

"Does that mean this charm can actually be used to search for animals?"

The vast snow-capped mountains look lifeless.

But there is actually a huge ecology hidden in the dark.

Snow hare, squirrel, serow, fox, ape, black wild boar, blind bear, winter snake, snow eagle, golden eagle...

In addition, there are a large number of medicinal materials hidden in the wind and snow, including polygala root, schisandra chinensis, adenophora root, asarum, yam, forsythia, bupleurum...

Moreover, martial arts flourished in this world.

Legend has it that there are strange beasts and different species in Xiaojin Mountain, such as red-horned spiritual sheep, winged flying tigers, jade chalcedony, dragon blood treasure trees, etc., all of which are of great benefit to martial arts advancement. Anyone who gets any of the above can change the fate of ordinary people's lives.

An immortal master who doesn’t want to be a good hunter is not a good time traveler!
  "Ordinary hunters can only rely on experience in the mountains, but I have many talismans to help me!"

"Even though it's just an "Introduction to Talisman Techniques", many of the methods included have never been seen in martial arts in this world!"

There are so many thoughts in my mind.

Chen Lin turned his eyes back to the wooden board he had just used to draw the talisman.

"The cinnabar can be replaced by animal blood. The more spiritual the better, the talisman can be replaced by old tree bark or green leaves..."

"The mana is enough for the time being. The person-finding and energy-finding talisman only has ten talismans. If it succeeds once, you can draw another seven-stroke zombie slowing talisman."

"When I catch prey, I can replenish my body, then refine more mana, draw more spells, and catch more prey...a virtuous cycle!"

Gulu gulu~~
  My stomach growled again.

Chen Lin's expression did not change.

“The good times are yet to come!”

"I just ate now. I'm not very hungry. Let's go find the talisman materials first!"

He muttered as if hypnotizing himself.

Pick up a hatchet and a homemade pole.

The wooden door opened with a "squeak".

The fluffy snowflakes were blowing in the wind.

The warm mana in the body circulates on its own, and a trace of coldness stays on the surface of the skin and disappears soon.

Chen Lin turned his head towards the majestic and undulating Xiaojin Mountain. The snow-capped mountains are shining in the sun. If you look closely, you can see that there are dead trees on the mountain, and the branches are covered with snow.

He touched his unsatisfied belly and walked step by step towards Xiaojinshan.

Near the mountain village, all the trees have been cut down, the area is bare, and there is no prey.

To walk a mile.

We have finally arrived at the mountain pass.

The mountains are vast, the cold wind is howling, and the peaks behind them stand as tall as a forest.

Chen Lin walked through ankle-deep snow and came to the dead forest where he usually cuts firewood. He knocked here and touched there, looking for old bark suitable for use as "talisman paper."

In "Introduction to Talisman Techniques", the basic requirements for talisman paper are to communicate spiritually and store magic power, and are not limited to specific forms.

If you can make the magic power of the runes on it last for a long time, and even increase the power of the runes, then it is a good rune paper.

Regardless of whether the "talisman" is bark or stone.

Chen Lin doesn't expect to encounter good talisman materials now.

As long as the basic requirements are barely met and the mana can be preserved for a period of time, it will be fine.

Use mana to test and observe.

A few short trees were soon selected.

Chen Lin used a hatchet to scrape off the entire bark of the tree. Under the rough skin were green and white veins, still showing signs of life. It can be seen that these trees will sprout again in the coming spring.

"But I've peeled off the skins. These trees will definitely not survive the spring. I'll just cut them down and dry them for firewood..."

He sat in the snow, wielded a hatchet and started chopping down trees.

The magic power in his body was circulating, and heat seemed to float around his body. In the rumbling snow, Chen Lin did not feel too cold, and the more he moved, the warmer he became.

Of course, the stomach growled louder and louder.

clap clap-

His ears twitched suddenly.

I heard other sounds coming from the empty mountain snow.

Without holding the hatchet in his hand, he narrowed his eyes and looked towards the mountain pass.

Several luxurious carriages were parked in the snow.

There were many domestic servants and maids surrounding him, carefully helping the people in the car to land.

There were one man and three women who came, all wearing brocade and fur cloaks. Next to them was a burly man with a bow and a sword. He bowed in flattery and led the way.

clap clap!

The hatchet struck the tree, sending sawdust flying.

Chen Lin in the distance let out a breath of hot breath, feeling that the burly figure looked familiar.

Searching in my memory, an answer quickly popped out:
  "Uncle Sheng's son!"

"He just sent Uncle Sheng to the county town yesterday, why is he going into the mountains again today?"
