Do not die

Meng Yiyi worked hard and made all the remaining talisman materials into talismans.

After obtaining twenty-five talismans, he gained twenty-five points of experience. The entry-level cleansing talisman was promoted to the first level, rising to a higher level.

More inspiration for making cleansing charms comes to mind.

“Before, I could make five per hour, now I should be able to make about six per hour.”

Meng Zhou really wanted to try it, but unfortunately, the free talisman materials that were given out when he purchased the talisman pen were no longer available.

Meng Zhou stopped making talismans and took out two stone rubbings.

One of them was the only one that succeeded under the guidance of Rope Spirit.

The other one is the simplest of all stone rubbings.

The former is the only rubbing stone carving for which he knows the complete steps to solve the problem. Through repeated speculation on it, it can provide him with some useful ideas when deciphering other rubbing stone carvings.

Meng Zhou even felt that this might not be a solution.

And the more stone carvings that are cracked, the easier it will be to crack those unknown stone rubbings.

Now, he tried to look at these lines from the perspective of a charm maker, which really gave him some new gains.

He untied the straw rope wrapped around his wrist to form a bracelet, and slowly knitted it according to his thoughts. Finally, he stopped when the two threads intersected for the fifth time. At this point, his thoughts were like a messed up thread. , I can’t figure it out.

However, he was not depressed, but rather a little happy.

Because in previous attempts, he only took three steps at most before continuing.

But now, he has taken two more steps forward!

This shows that my idea of ​​using Fu Dao to solve the problem is correct.

In the evening, Meng Zhou finished his groping and began to practice.

These days, although he spends too much time on getting started with the cleansing talisman and deciphering the stone carvings, he also takes up time to practice martial arts.

The practice of water nourishing and nourishing the body is continuous day by day.

Moreover, because he turned three meals a day into spiritual rice, it can provide him with some extra spiritual energy every day. In addition, spiritual tea helps relieve the physical burden accumulated during practice, which makes his daily practice progress extra. Added a little more.

The technique that could only be practiced for twenty weeks a day was originally two more weeks.

The next day, when Meng Zhou finished his training, his cultivation progress was stable at +6, and his skill experience was stable at +22.

…

"There's no more rice."

Meng Zhou poured the last bit of rice into a casserole, added water and simmered it slowly on the stove.

While waiting for the rice to be cooked, Meng Zhou had a fierce warm-up battle with his hands.

These days, although he has somewhat neglected the practice of martial arts, he still devotes some time to it every day. Fighting each other, Thousand Hands, and the Storm Sword still gain more than ten or twenty experience points every day.

Yesterday, the Cleansing Talisman was successfully introduced and it was verified that this direction is effective in deciphering the stone carvings. Meng Zhou felt relaxed.

After looking at the progress of several martial arts, I decided to finish them all in one go today.

Nearing noon, the three martial arts skills were successively passed and advanced to perfection.

Fighting left and right may seem like a boxing technique that goes against common sense, but in essence it is a special kind of thinking training.

When this martial art reaches perfection, the improvement of boxing skills comes second.

Meng Zhou's most vivid feeling is that he can observe the world with two visions and two thoughts at the same time.

Meng Zhou believed that this would definitely give people a wonderful feeling when fighting the enemy.

Whether it's yourself or your enemy, the feeling will definitely be wonderful.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but feel eager to give it a try.

The next person who reached perfection was Thousand Hands, whose hands and fingers became freer and more flexible, as if they had become spirits.

At the same time, in his mind, the inherent concept of hands and fingers that had been shaped since childhood was fundamentally broken. Moreover, the process was natural and not rough at all.

Finally, there is the Sudden Rain and Swift Wind Sword. When it reaches perfection, the most significant change is its speed. A martial skill that is known for its speed has become faster.

It can quickly become a ray of sword light, or it can quickly become a sword curtain.

When he held the sword in his hand, he could even feel the touch of the sword at every point where it met the air.

He can clearly feel the flow of air and the chaotic force caused by the dancing of the fast sword on the sword body, and he can follow the trend to make the sword's movement faster, more strange, and more elusive, without following any inherent rules. The sword moves the sword rationally.

An illusion arose in Meng Zhou's heart. The space seemed to have turned into an ever-changing and turbulent sea, and the sword in his hand was like an elf swimming in the sea.

afternoon.

Meng Zhou left the Zuowang Pavilion, used his Ten Thousand Miles of Divine Movement, and headed towards Nuanyun Valley Market.

These days, as I travel between the Zuowang Pavilion and the market every day, my experience of Wanli Shenxing is also steadily improving, and I am approaching the point of completion.

At a certain moment, as he took another step forward, the wonderful feeling that had only occurred when the Sudden Rain and Wind Sword was perfected hit his heart again.

The space turned into a substantial sea surface, and he turned into a fish swimming in the sea.

His body can sense its "tide changes" and cleverly use force to double his speed.

"To use the Storm Sword and the Wind Sword at such a speed, the speed must be incredibly fast."

After entering the market, Meng Zhou went to the shop where he last bought Lingmi Lingcha. He bought twenty kilograms of medium Lingmi rice and added one or two medium Lingcha tea.

"Chenghui eight low-grade spiritual stones." The other party was obviously still impressed by Meng Zhou and said with a smile.

Meng Zhou did not pay immediately, but looked at a pile of neatly arranged silver thin bricks in the corner.

Seeing him like this, the other party smiled and said: "Does the guest still need silver charcoal?"

"Free gift?"

The shop owner grinned and said: "The customer was joking, but this silver charcoal is durable and cheap, has great firepower, has no peculiar smell, and does not take up space.

One low-grade spiritual stone can buy one hundred and fifty, which is enough for you to use for a whole year. It is definitely a bargain! "

Meng Zhou felt that he had been tricked. Last time he came to buy Lingmi Lingcha, he received two sets of exquisite kitchenware and tea sets here.

It contained a small and exquisite stove. Because the furnace was too small, the other party thoughtfully included ten pieces of silver charcoal that were also small and durable.

He didn't think much about it at that time. He just received the free gift and talked about it later.

Only now was he recalling the opponent's tricks. Meng Zhou gave the store owner a thumbs up and praised: "Boss, what a good trick."

But he didn't say anything more about the silver charcoal. Instead, he came closer and asked, "Are you buying the talisman?"

The shop owner was shocked when he heard this, "You have talismans to sell? Are you a talisman maker?"

Meng Zhou smiled and said nothing.

The shop owner saw that his expression became much more respectful and asked, "How many are there?"

"Forty."

The shop owner's smile became more sincere, and after saying hello, he pulled Meng Zhou into the back room and started discussing with him in detail.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them walked out of the back room one after another, with smiles on their faces.

The forty talismans traded this time, except for the 25 cleaning talismans made yesterday, the other fifteen are all spoils of war.

Except for preserving the first-grade high-grade flying escape talisman, Meng Zhou felt that there was no need to preserve the other talismans at all, so he simply took this opportunity to clear them all.

Among the forty talismans, there are thirty-five first-level low-grade talismans and five first-level mid-grade talismans. If sold in bulk, they would be worth forty-five to fifty low-grade spiritual stones.

But he was selling it in a package. After some bargaining, he finally settled the deal with forty low-grade spiritual stones, which was considered a 10% discount.

On the surface, this shop does not deal in the sale of talismans, but during the few days he spent with Master Chu Zheng and Yu Peng, Meng Zhou learned that businesses such as talismans, elixirs, and magical instruments, from the source of materials to the talisman maker Most output terminals such as alchemists, alchemists, and weapon refiners are monopolized by a few big forces.

It’s not that other stores don’t want to operate, but they lack channels. But because of this, it’s more cost-effective to package and sell to such small stores.

If he packaged these talismans and sold them to big merchants, it would be great if he could sell them at a 20% discount.

"Forty, Lingmi Lingcha will deduct eight pills and give you thirty-two pills. Please order..."

The shop owner pushed a handful of spiritual stones from the counter to Meng Zhou, but Meng Zhou didn't take it. Instead, he looked at the pile of silver charcoal and asked again: "Are there any free gifts?"

The shop owner was stunned, first shook his head with a wry smile, and then nodded helplessly.

"Send, send, send!"

Meng Zhou's idea finally came to his mind.

Then, Meng Zhou went to the Zhenfu Pavilion’s location in the market.

He spent fifty low-grade spirit stones to purchase a spirit-sealing box. This box looked about the same size as the half-used spirit-sealing box, but the internal space with the special talisman array drawn on it was nearly ten times larger.

Then, he spent fifty low-grade spiritual stones to purchase one hundred basic runes.

After walking out of the True Talisman Hall and looking at the only twenty-eight low-grade spiritual stones left in his pocket, Meng Zhou shook his head and thought to himself, these spiritual stones are really worthless.

When passing the square, Meng Zhou's heart moved and he turned around and walked in.

After walking around twice, Meng Zhou stopped in front of a middle-aged monk's stall and asked, "How do you sell these talismans?"

The middle-aged monk hurriedly said: "Three copies of a low-grade spiritual stone!"

Meng Zhou pouted and said, "Are you sure?"

The middle-aged monk hesitated and said nothing. Meng Zhou said:

"Looking at the talisman papers you have, they vary in size and texture, and the raw materials used come from at least four different sources, right?

And your talisman ink is red, green, and there are countless sources of materials! "

The middle-aged man defended: "But I can guarantee that their quality is no worse than the talisman materials provided in the True Talisman Hall!"

Meng Zhou sneered, "Are you kidding me that I don't understand, or are you kidding me that I haven't been to the True Talisman Hall?"

As he spoke, there was a stack of talisman papers in his hand. One hundred pieces were neatly cut, just like banknotes. Just holding them in your hand was a pleasure.

He waved in front of the other party and said: "I just came out of the True Talisman Hall, so don't fool me with your layman's words. Please give me an honest price!"

The middle-aged man said: "Four copies of a low-grade spiritual stone!"

But Meng Zhou remained unmoved. He finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Four and a half, really no more! You have to let me earn some, right?"

Meng Zhou said: "That's nine parts of two low-grade spiritual stones, right?"

The middle-aged man's face twitched, but he still nodded: "Yes!"

Meng Zhou pointed out twenty low-grade spiritual stones: "Give me ninety copies!"

When the middle-aged man saw him buying so much at one time, his expression finally softened a lot, and he took it as a small profit but quick turnover.

After completing the transaction, Meng Zhou rushed back without any further delay.

Returning to the stone chamber of Zuowang Pavilion, Meng Zhou took out five copies of both talismans.

Two hours later, Meng Zhou rubbed his wrist and looked at all ten cleansing charms that had been drawn successfully, and murmured:

"It seems that the problems that trouble other Talisman Makers have no impact on me."

In terms of quality alone, the talisman paper and ink he bought at the street stall were no worse than those from the Zhental Talisman Hall.

But for the talisman maker, a very important factor that affects the success rate of payment is the stability of the talisman paper and ink.

Not to mention the different materials for making talisman paper and ink, the same material has different origins and different producers, which will reflect subtle spiritual differences in the final product.

This difference has nothing to do with quality, but it will definitely affect the success rate of making talismans.

A big force like the True Talisman Hall, with its stable source of materials and fixed process flow, finally achieved strict quality control and completely crushed individual talisman makers like middle-aged men.

…

After this big purchase, Meng Zhou stayed at home for several days without leaving home.

During the day, he made talismans and deciphered stone rubbings.

Practice continuously at night and make efforts every day.

On the night of the fourth day, when Meng Zhou sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, he began a new day of practice.

The progress of cultivation is already "96/100 at the fourth level of Qi training".

As the water nourishing and moisturizing techniques of the Dacheng Realm circulate in the body over and over again, the mana increases little by little.

Soon, the abundant mana broke through the barrier.

Five levels of Qi training, breakthrough.

Meng Zhou did not stop and continued to practice until the magic power of the Water Nourishing and Moisturizing Technique was in the body for twenty-two days.
