Chapter 57 Second level talisman!
To make second-level talismans, talisman paper is relatively easier to get. For example, second-level monster skins and second-level spiritual wood can be used as talisman paper after special refining.
But preparing the second-level spiritual ink is relatively much more difficult.
Half a month after the great turmoil in Nanshanfang.
Xiao Changqing finally gathered all the materials needed to make a second-level talisman, enough to make about ten.
As for the lack of a second-level talisman pen, I can only temporarily use the Silver Moon Wolf Hair Brush and the Double-Winged Tiger Hair Brush as substitutes. There is nothing I can do about the lower success rate.
A second-level talisman pen requires at least two thousand low-grade spirit stones to purchase.
With Xiao Changqing's current salary, if he saves a little and a few months, he can buy it.
But the key point is that the second-level talisman pen is hard to come by in Nanshanfang.
If Manager Hong was still in Nanshanfang, he might have a way to buy a second-level talisman pen. The second-level talisman pen that Master Lu Qiu used should have been purchased with the help of Manager Hong.
Even though the family structure of Nanshanfang's foundation-building clans has undergone earth-shaking changes, no force or store has produced a second-level talisman pen.
……
Painting interior.
Xiao Changqing was leaning over the desk alone, concentrating on sketching every stroke on a special piece of talisman paper.
It seemed as if every stroke consumed enormous amounts of energy and magic power, causing the special spiritual power of heaven and earth to gradually seep into the talisman paper.
There was nothing wrong with the talisman paper and the dark red spiritual ink, but the talisman pen in Xiao Changqing's hand was obviously unable to withstand the magic power that was constantly poured into it when drawing the talisman, and it was vibrating slightly.
But fortunately, Xiao Changqing's talisman skills were good enough and he already had some experience, so this time the progress was very smooth.
After about one stick of incense.
hum!
As Xiao Changqing put down his last stroke, the entire talisman was connected from beginning to end. The previous strokes seemed to come alive at this moment. Rays of spiritual light moved on the talisman paper, and there were faint sounds of lightning and thunder.
A ray of pressure that even Xiao Changqing, who was now at the seventh level of Qi Refining, felt terrifying flashed by and finally disappeared into the talisman. Xiao Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Finally it worked!"
Xiao Changqing's eyes were full of joy.
After failing for two consecutive days, it was only on the third day that I finally succeeded in drawing a second-level talisman, the Purple Thunder Talisman.
Xiao Changqing currently does not have many second-level talismans.
Because the double-winged tiger-hair brush given by Master Lu Qiu contains twenty-seven first-level talismans, but only a few of them can be promoted to the second level.
This purple thunder talisman is one of them.
Its main killing power is as powerful as a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. If used properly, it is possible to seriously injure or even kill a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
of course.
This requires the user to have extremely high control over magic power and spiritual awareness.
The more powerful the talisman, the more difficult it is to use.
Now Xiao Changqing has reached the late stage of Qi Refining. Because of drawing talismans, his spiritual awareness is even stronger than that of an ordinary Qi Refining seventh-level cultivator, so it is natural that he has no problem controlling the Purple Thunder Talisman.
If it were used by a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, such as the Lin sisters, let alone killing a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, it would be good if they didn't blow themselves up first.
"If I put all my effort into drawing talismans every day, I can draw two or even three second-level talismans a day."
"But I need to go to the Lingfu Pavilion to work every day, and I also need to leave time for cultivation. Drawing one picture a day is the best state. If I force myself to draw a second picture, the success rate will be reduced."
Xiao Changqing felt his physical and mental exhaustion and thought to himself.
The upper limit of the number of talismans that can be drawn every day is also an important reason for curbing the income of talisman masters. According to legend, some sects or noble families will secretly have some "talisman drawing machines" to deprive all free time. As long as the mana and consciousness are restored every day, they have to draw talismans, which is very miserable.
However, this situation only applies to captured talisman masters from hostile forces. If the talisman master is trained by oneself and has strong talent, the method will not be so cruel.
……
With the experience of success and the lessons learned from the previous two failures, Xiao Changqing was fully prepared. The next day went smoothly and he successfully made another purple thunder talisman.
In the following days, before the materials were used up, he produced a second-level Vajra Talisman and a second-level Escape Talisman.
The success rate is about 50%.
Because the talisman pen used is a first-level one, it is already very good.
With four second-level talismans on hand, Xiao Changqing's sense of security increased greatly, and there were very few people in Nanshanfang who could threaten him.
"Next, in addition to continuing to purchase materials for making second-level talismans, we also have to look for new equipment."
Xiao Changqing thought to himself.
After breaking through to the late stage of Qi training, the equipment column increased to nine, with a new piece of equipment, the Silver Moon Wolf Hair Brush, leaving two empty slots.
For these two positions, Xiao Changqing plans to find as much equipment as possible to enhance his spiritual roots and talent in talismans.
Skills lie in quality, not quantity.
With the existence of the inventory, Xiao Changqing could theoretically quickly learn any of the 100 arts of cultivation, but as his equipment bar is currently not abundant, Xiao Changqing still has to go further on the basis of what he already has in order to benefit more.
Cultivation is the foundation of everything, there is no doubt about that, and building a foundation as early as possible is the top priority.
Secondly, the breakthrough of the talisman skill to the lower level of the second stage does not mean that you can stop. On the contrary, you have to find ways to continue to break through and be promoted to the middle and upper level of the second stage!
As for other things like alchemy, weapon refining, puppets, formations, etc., although they are all great, there is no need to consider them for the time being.
"Several major foundation-building families have fought a bloody battle, and all the major shops have been reshuffled. Various treasures that are rarely seen in normal times will be displayed. There should be hope that we can find some items with good equipment effects."
Now that he is the most famous talented cultivator in Lingfu Pavilion and a prominent figure in Nanshanfang, he naturally doesn't need to go to the market stalls to search for equipment like looking for a needle in a haystack as before.
You can go directly to the major stores and try out the products firsthand. Most store owners will not object.
Although Xiao Changqing was not very fond of the shopkeeper Zhou Changkong, one of his words was very true. As long as you are talented enough and strong enough, you will find that everyone in the world of immortal cultivation is amiable and easy to talk to.
Many of Nanshanfang's rules are only set up for the lower-level independent cultivators.
It took Xiao Changqing more than ten days to appreciate the items displayed in the major stores in Nanshanfang.
As expected, the probability of items in major stores having equipment effects is many times higher than that in the market.
On average, you can find one equipable item out of every twenty.
It’s a pity that there are very few equipments that can speed up the cultivation speed, increase the probability of building the foundation, or improve the talent of talismans, and the effects are generally average.
They were all a bit useless, so Xiao Changqing did not choose to buy them.
However, during this period, with the Mu family and the Cao family completely shaking hands and making peace under the mediation of various forces, Nanshanfang has regained stability.
The relocation that had been delayed due to the war was quickly implemented.
Grade B caves are completely different from Grade C and Grade D caves, and have become the real core resources of Nanshanfang.
It is probably similar to the courtyard houses and large villas in the city center of the previous life, and their number is very limited.
Normally they are occupied by elite late-stage Qi-refining cultivators from major families with good backgrounds, and are rarely vacant.
After this incident, not only the B-class caves, but even the A-class caves were vacant.
