The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

Making a talisman is not much easier than refining an elixir. Although the two are completely different, they both require a certain amount of talent and enough patience.

Matthew believes that he is still patient. He has failed many times when he was trying to refine an elixir by himself.

Although he has just started making talismans, Matthew is still patiently sketching the talisman on the white paper.

No matter what kind of talisman, it needs to be completed in one stroke, which is a big challenge for Matthew.

At the beginning, Matthew really couldn't finish the talisman in one stroke.

There were more and more white papers discarded around him.

He kept thinking about the movements of the old man surnamed He when he drew the fireball talisman.

Gradually, Matthew's movements were not as stiff as at the beginning.

When the waste paper around him piled up into a bulge, Matthew was able to draw the talisman in one stroke.

But he always felt that there was something wrong, so he took out a piece of talisman paper and started drawing on it.

According to the method said by the old man surnamed He, he kept injecting mana into the talisman pen while drawing.

Now, Matthew finally understood where the problem was.

Previously, he deliberately pursued the ability to draw the talisman in one stroke, but completely ignored the issue of mana.

Now when he held the talisman pen and drew on the talisman paper, he found that it was almost impossible for him to complete it in one stroke.

Not long after he put the pen down, the talisman paper spontaneously combusted under Matthew's gaze.

"It should be that too much mana was injected directly beyond the tolerance limit of the talisman paper." After pinching out the self-ignited talisman paper, Matthew said to himself.

Then, according to his previous habit of alchemy, he wrote the process of making the talisman on a white paper.

After writing the problem, Matthew took a piece of white paper and continued to write the talisman.

This time, he began to inject mana into the talisman pen to practice his control over mana.

"So that's it..." When Matthew saw the talisman written by mana, his face showed a clear look.

Although all cinnabar was used, the talisman drawn without mana was bright red.

After using mana, the talisman drawn was dark red.

The current talisman, both in style and color, is exactly the same as the one drawn by the old man surnamed He.

Similarity does not mean success. Matthew knows that his control over mana is far from reaching the level of drawing talismans.

After finding the right method, he deliberately controlled the injection of mana in the process of completing the talisman drawing in one stroke.

However, Matthew did not know how much mana to inject.

After practicing for a while, he took out another talisman paper and started to try.

Continuous failures may be annoying and frustrating to others.

But Matthew became more and more excited as he drew, and he was completely immersed in the process of testing mana.

Even though the old man surnamed He appeared beside him for a long time, Matthew did not notice it at all, and he was still working hard.

After failing nearly a hundred times, Matthew finally figured out the best mana.

When he successfully completed the drawing of a fireball talisman, Matthew shouted excitedly.

At this time, he found that the old man surnamed He was standing next to him.

"Uncle He." Startled, Matthew hurriedly saluted.

The old man surnamed He waved his hand, picked up the talisman drawn by Matthew on the table, looked at it for a few times, and said several good ones.

"I deliberately didn't tell you the whole method before, just to see if you have talent in making talismans. Now it seems that you are indeed talented." The old man surnamed He nodded with satisfaction.

"Master He, you are too kind. I am just lucky." Matthew said modestly.

"Bullshit luck, this is talent. Cui'er took two days to figure it out, but you have successfully refined it in less than a day. Zhu Laogui is really lucky. He has a disciple who is not only talented in alchemy, but also has such a good talent in making talismans. Why don't I have such good luck?" The old man surnamed He glared at Matthew and said loudly.

Matthew felt a little embarrassed by the other party's exaggeration. He grinned and didn't know what to say.

"Making a talisman is both simple and difficult. Just like alchemy, each talisman requires different mana, and it takes a long time of practice to master it thoroughly. Now that you can draw the fireball talisman, you should focus on this aspect." After putting the talisman in his hand back on the table, the old man surnamed He continued.

"Yes, uncle." Matthew nodded in response.

This time, the old man surnamed He dropped a storage bag.

It was full of materials needed to draw talismans.

"If the success rate reaches 50%, you can draw other talismans. Remember, 50% is the minimum standard." After dropping a sentence, the old man surnamed He disappeared again.

After the old man surnamed He left, Matthew did not draw the talisman immediately.

Instead, he wrote down all the successful experiences just now, then collected the waste paper on the ground, and found a place to lie down and rest.

After sleeping for more than ten hours, the energetic Matthew began to get busy.

With the previous successful experience, he successfully drew a few fireball talismans by following the same method.

But the slightest negligence would lead to continuous failure.

Matthew knew that this was because he did not have enough control over his magic power.

He had never practiced controlling his magic power before.

Now was the best time to practice.

As he drew more and more talismans, his control over mana became more delicate.

Matthew found that since he mastered the detailed use of mana, even if he released a fireball spell, the consumption of mana was much less than before.

Mana is the foundation of a cultivator. Without mana support, no matter how powerful the spell is, it cannot be cast.

Matthew also knew for the first time that making talismans could have such an effect.

Feeling that his progress was becoming more and more obvious, Matthew became more concerned about making talismans.

The old man surnamed He came several times during this period and checked Matthew's results.

When he saw Matthew draw ten complete fireball talismans in one breath, he also opened his mouth wide.

Matthew also felt a little strange. His cultivation aptitude was extremely poor, but he understood these side doors very quickly.

Whether it was alchemy or talisman making, there were no huge difficulties for him.

After confirming that Matthew did have enough talent in making talismans, the old man surnamed He began to explain more profound things to him.

Matthew listened very carefully and remembered every word the old man surnamed He said.

The old man surnamed He liked Matthew more and more for such a well-behaved and talented man, and really began to treat Matthew as his personal disciple.
