Chapter 103: Making a Talisman is Not Easy
"Fang Daoyou, please stand behind me and wait. Fellow Daoyou Chen across the street hasn't come yet. Among the casual cultivators nearby, the blank talisman paper he makes is of the best quality."
Fang Fugui pointed to the diagonal opposite, near the middle of the main road.
Fang Xiu looked carefully and saw that there was only one empty stall there, while people had set up stalls in the square areas on both sides.
"We set up stalls here and pay a stall fee of one spirit stone to the market every month. However, the stalls here are not fixed. If you come early, you can set up stalls at the entrance and in the middle of the street. If you come late, you can only set up stalls inside."
Wang Fugui put the bottles and jars in the package neatly while explaining the rules to Fang Xiu.
"Fellow Daoyou Chen is the top master in our shantytown, with the cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, so his stall is fixed, and generally no one will compete with him for it."
Wang Fugui put the bottles and jars of the same type together, and erected a striking wooden sign in front of them, which wrote the name, medicinal properties, price and other basic information of the medicinal materials or pills.
"I see. Thank you." Fang Xiu bowed his hands. The world of immortal cultivation really embodies the extreme of strength.
"By the way, there is the one opposite. Hey! Do you want to buy pills? The Bigu Pill and Blood Essence Pill that were just made yesterday!"
Wang Fugui continued to explain. Just when he was halfway through his words, three male cultivators came together and stopped in front of the stall.
"How much is the Bigu Pill?" One of the male cultivators asked the price.
"Ten pills in a bottle, five bottles only need one spirit stone!" Wang Fugui said with a smile.
"So expensive? The shop across the street sells six bottles for only one spirit stone!"
"You can ask around. The meat of the monster beasts sold by Old Wang is not only delicious, but also very filling. It has a certain promoting effect on the practice of martial arts masters!"
"Really?"
"Look at what you said. Can I still sell you inferior pills?"
"Okay! Then I'll buy a bottle first to try the effect."
"If you buy it individually, you have to pay an extra tael of spirit sand. One bottle costs eleven taels of spirit sand!"
"Isn't this too expensive?"
"Just tell me if you want it or not?"
"If the effect is good, I will definitely take it! What if it's not good?"
"The four of them talked until their mouths dried. In the end, they bought two bottles of the Qigong Pills for twenty taels of spirit sand.
Wang Fugui put away the spirit sand with a smile and suddenly waved at Fang Xiu.
"Fang Daoyou, go! Chen Daoyou is here! "
Fang Xiu looked carefully and saw a middle-aged man in a black robe, yawning, walking slowly to the stall in the middle of the street and sitting down. He gently reached into the storage bag on his waist with his right hand, and took out pieces of talisman paper of different colors, and pressed them on the stall with a paperweight.
Then he took out a pile of blank yellow paper tied with straw ropes and piled them behind the stall.
Fang Xiu heard this and walked forward.
"Master Chen Fu! This fellow Daoist Fang wants to buy blank talisman paper!" Wang Fugui waved and shouted.
"Got it..." Master Chen Fu responded weakly when he saw this.
Fang Xiu came to Master Chen Fu's stall, "Hello, fellow Daoist Chen, how much does this level of blank talisman paper sell for?"
"One spiritual stone for eleven pieces." Master Chen Fu replied.
He seemed not to have slept well, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, a square face tense, the corners of his mouth naturally turned down, and the whole person looked very fierce.
"Isn't it twelve pieces? "Fang Xiu was stunned.
"The price has increased today." Master Chen yawned and gave Fang Xiu a warning look.
"Fang Xiu was speechless.
Seeing Fang Xiu silent, Master Chen waved his hand: "Forget it, you were introduced by Old Man Wang, so I'll give you twelve. You'll know why I raised the price after you use it."
"Thank you." Fang Xiu bowed his hands. Judging from Master Chen's attitude, it was probably because the talisman paper was of high quality and there was no shortage of buyers.
"How much do you want?" Master Chen asked.
"Two spiritual stones first." Fang Xiu took out two spiritual stones. With his current mana, he could only make four pieces a day to make spell talismans.
It would be useless to buy more.
"Well." Master Chen unpacked one of the stacks of talisman paper, added two pieces to the other two stacks of talisman paper, handed them to Fang Xiu, and took the spiritual stone from his hand.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, do you have spiritual blood cinnabar for sale?" Fang Xiu asked again.
"Are you a beginner in making talismans?" Master Chen was surprised.
"Yes, I'm just getting started." Fang Xiu nodded.
Master Chen Fu reached into the storage bag on his waist and took out a porcelain bottle.
"Here is the spiritual blood cinnabar made from the first-level low-grade pig demon. It is mild in nature and suitable for beginners. It is enough for you to make talismans at least a hundred times."
Fang Xiu took the porcelain bottle and opened it. The pungent smell of blood was mixed with spiritual energy, and the smell of cinnabar was also very strong.
"I wonder how much this thing costs?"
"This is my previous inventory. I don't need it now. You can give me six spiritual stones." Master Chen Fu said casually.
"Okay." Fang Xiu took out six spiritual stones from his arms and gave them to Master Chen Fu.
After the transaction was completed, Fang Xiu looked at the stall again. One of the talismans with powerful mana fluctuations and white lightning patterns on it attracted Fang Xiu's attention.
However, soon a cultivator came to buy talismans. Fang Xiu watched from the side and roughly understood the prices of various talismans.
First-level low-grade talismans, auxiliary types are three or four pieces for one spiritual stone, similar to the Yufeng Talisman.
Of course, no one buys the Cleansing Talisman.
The offensive Fire Bomb Talisman is more expensive, two pieces for one Spirit Stone.
As for the defensive amulet, it is the most expensive, one piece for one Spirit Stone.
After all, the speed of the cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, whether controlling the magic tools or casting spells, is relatively slow.
The amulet instantly emits a protective aura that can resist one attack from a low-grade magic weapon and two attacks from a first-level low-grade offensive spell. A spiritual stone often buys not a piece of talisman paper, but a life.
After buying the talisman paper and spiritual blood cinnabar, Fang Xiu said hello to Wang Fugui and went home first.
As soon as he left the outer city and walked towards the muddy dirt road in the shantytown, he suddenly felt something was wrong, as if someone was following him.
Fang Xiu immediately quickened his pace, and when he ran halfway, he left the follower far behind.
"Damn it! Is there anyone jealous of me for spending so little spiritual stones?"
Fang Xiu's heart was pounding when he returned home.
The person who followed him was not very strong, probably just in the early stage of Qi Refining.
However, it seems that many casual cultivators are much poorer than he thought.
"Huh~" Fang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The shantytown is still safe for the time being. If it were outside the market, I wonder if the man just now would kill people for treasures.
Of course, if they really fight outside, it is uncertain who will die.
In terms of combat power, he can fight with ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining, but he is afraid of those who are cautious and keep a distance from him.
The most troublesome is the mid-stage Qi Refining who has defensive magic weapons.
One low-grade magic weapon attacks, and the other low-grade magic weapon defends.
"I don't know if the Three Absolutes Pill Power can cause effective damage to low-grade magic weapons."
Fang Xiu pondered in his heart. Even in the market, it is best not to be targeted.
"It seems that it is necessary to build a good relationship with fellow Daoist Wang Hongchan. "
Master Chen Fu has the sixth level of Qi training, and Wang Fugui has the fifth level of Qi training. They are both powerful figures in the shantytown.
Fang Xiu lay on the bed for a while, took a nap, and rested his energy.
He got up at noon, ate two full bowls of spiritual rice, and felt the mana in his body. He sat down at the table and took out the talisman paper and spiritual blood cinnabar.
The talisman paper made by Master Chen Fu looked exactly the same in size and length, and the surface was much smoother, much better than Fang Xiu's crudely made snow wolf talisman skin.
Fang Xiu closed his eyes for a moment, and suddenly opened his eyes.
He picked up the talisman pen, dipped it in the spiritual blood cinnabar, and began to draw the talisman.
"It's done! "
Fang Xiu succeeded in making the first talisman using Sanjue Danjin.
It was a good start.
However, Sanjue Danjin talismans cannot be sold, so it is useless even if the success rate is high.
Then, Fang Xiu began to make wind-controlling talismans with lower proficiency.
Puff puff puff!
After failing four times in a row, Fang Xiu began to sweat.
"That's not right. The quality of the talisman paper and the spiritual blood cinnabar are obviously better. Am I too impatient?" Fang Xiu took a deep breath.
He stopped and began to digest the spiritual energy provided by the spiritual rice, meditating to restore his mana.
[Spell: Wind Controlling Technique·Introduction (88%)]
[Skill: Talisman Making: Wind Controlling Talisman·Introduction (90%)]
"Don't be impatient. "
In the evening, after Fang Xiu recovered his mana, he did not rush to make talismans.
Instead, he practiced the Wind Controlling Technique in the yard.
[Spell: Wind Controlling Technique·Proficient (2%)]
In the next five days, he practiced the Wind Controlling Technique to the proficient stage before continuing to make Wind Controlling Talismans.
Before, there were plenty of Snow Wolf Talisman Skins, and he ignored the fact that his Wind Controlling Technique proficiency was too low.
After all, there are too many things to learn.
"Done!"
There were seven blank talisman papers left in the first dozen of talisman papers.
Fang Xiu made two Wind Controlling Talismans in two days.
Three Wind Controlling Talismans are only worth one Spirit Stone. But the consumption of Spirit Blood and Cinnabar must be deducted.
Two of the eleven talisman papers were successful, which was a total loss.
However, in the next three days, Fang Xiu made talismans three times a day, and successfully made three Wind Controlling Talismans with nine blank talisman papers.
On the fourth day, Fang Xiu rubbed his swollen eyebrows.
Continuous talisman making, although mana can be restored in time, consumes a lot of mental energy.
"Got it, I can use the Book of Destiny! "
Fang Xiu suddenly remembered the Gou Ping'an pattern on the fourth page of the Book of Destiny, which can be activated to strengthen the spiritual consciousness.
Before, he only thought of activating the pattern to assist in combat, but he didn't expect that it could assist in making talismans.
After all, the pattern on the fourth page of the Book of Destiny has a longer cooling time as the stronger the cultivation.
The previous Zhao Ningsheng pattern had to wait a month to be activated again.
Although Gou Ping'an is also at the sixth level of Qi training, he is much stronger than Zhao Ningsheng, so it takes forty days to activate it.
Fang Xiu immediately activated the pattern on the fourth page of the Book of Destiny, and the swelling pain in his brow disappeared instantly, as if a cool breath went straight to his head, and his whole body instantly became transparent.
"The feeling is coming! "
Fang Xiu picked up the pen, dipped it in the spiritual blood cinnabar and began to write, his strokes flowing like water.
The first one, success.
The second one, failure.
The third one, success.
[Skill: Talisman Making: Wind Control Talisman·Proficient (1%)]
Fang Xiu showed a happy face, two out of three were successful, and the proficiency of the Wind Control Talisman entered the proficient stage.
Counting the previous three, five out of twelve were successful, with a success rate of 40%.
Counting the previous twelve, there are a total of 24 blank talisman papers, seven of which were successful, with a success rate of nearly 30%, barely breaking even.
"Unfortunately, the magic power is still too weak." Fang Xiu felt that the remaining consciousness was enough for him to make seven or eight more talismans, but his magic power had reached the bottom.
"Sure enough, cultivation is the key."
When he meditated to restore his magic power, the pattern on the fourth page of the Book of Destiny had dimmed.
