Volume 1 Chapter 34: Talisman Making

Chapter 34 Talisman Making

Zhang Pa was worried that he might have wild thoughts, so he continued, "Don't worry, you don't need to teach me the secrets of your sect. I just want to learn how to make and manipulate them."

Talisman making is not a secret at all. As for the secrets of the Wanfa Sect, the talisman-selling youth has little exposure to them at present. Hearing what Zhang Pa said, the youth immediately made up his mind and said, "Okay, five talismans will cost you three hundred spirit stones, and I will teach you how to make talismans if you give me another five hundred spirit stones."

A total of eight hundred spirit stones? It's not expensive. Zhang Pa paid the spirit stones, took the talisman, and then walked out of the market with the youth. The two walked to a deserted place in the grassland, and the youth drew a barrier and taught Zhang Pa how to make talismans.

Talisman making is different from refining tools and pills. Immortal cultivators below the Jindan stage need to use their primordial spirits to make them. Because there is no Dan fire, the soul must be sent into the talisman refining material, so that the soul and the material can be integrated, fully sense the material, and then control it, stretching, pressing, thinning and deforming the material to the texture shape that is most suitable for instant spells, and then using the soul to embed the spell into the material. After the refining is successful, the talisman will automatically leave a mark on the surface according to the spell and power.

The whole process is simple to say, but it is very difficult to do. First of all, it is difficult for the soul to be integrated with the material, and secondly, it is difficult to adjust the shape of the material. Without thousands of trials and explorations, who dares to say that he is a master of talisman refining? Especially the various monster skins are strange, with very different textures and different spiritual energy attachments, and it is even more difficult to explore.

Zhang was afraid to remember the method and wanted to try it out. He bought a small piece of monster skin that could not be seen from the young man at a high price, and tried to integrate the soul with the monster skin. After two hours, he finally succeeded in the attempt, and then stretched the skin to sense the shape that is most suitable for storing spells and spiritual power. After another two hours, he barely pulled out a piece of irregular talisman. A ring protruded from the surface, with a gray star in the upper right corner.

After he finished refining it, the young man sighed: "What a pity to use this monster skin to make a rubbish spell." Zhang Pa held up the spell and looked at it for a long time, and asked: "Is it so bad?"

The young man perfunctorily said: "It's the first time to refine it, if it doesn't fail, it will be considered a success."

"What kind of words are you talking about?" Zhang Pa was a little depressed.

The young man looked at him and really wanted to learn from him, so he said: "First, such a large piece of monster skin can be separated and cut to make more than three talismans. Second, the shape must be square. What kind of shape is yours? It will lose a lot of spiritual power. Third, you actually embed the fireball spell? There is no need to waste so much effort on things. Just throw it away. You have been tossing for nearly a day, and it is almost dark. You made a fireball spell. It is more powerful than this talisman when you throw it casually." Zhang Pa looked at the talisman in his hand and heard that the young man said it was rubbish. After a little thought, he suddenly threw it far away. He saw a flash of red light, and a fireball the size of a head appeared, which quickly hit a big rock ten feet away. Then there was a loud bang, the big rock turned into powder, and a deep pit as high as a person was blown out on the ground. Zhang Pa was very satisfied: "The effect is good, the effect is good." The young man was so depressed that he couldn't say anything. How could such a broken pit be considered a good effect? He used his breath to concentrate on his fist, and flames suddenly burst out, surrounding his fist. The young man punched hard, and in an instant, a bigger pit appeared in the open space on the left side of the deep pit.

Zhang Pa touched his head and praised, "You are really amazing." This sentence did not make the young man angry to death. It is difficult for a cultivator to make a pit on the ground without using dirty words. This guy actually said that I am amazing? Is it a mockery? Sarcasm? But seeing the expression of this stupid fool, the young man was extremely serious... He was completely confused and simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the money was already earned, so he clasped his fists and said goodbye.

Just as he was about to leave, two figures flew out from the direction of the market, and two powerful auras pressed down on the two of them. Zhang Pa hurriedly added a wing shield to surround himself, followed by the golden armor body protection, the wood spirit body protection and other body protection skills. When the yellow, green, red and other colors of light flashed on his body, Zhang Pa had become a big easter egg. The young man knew what was going on, and stood still. He looked at Zhang Pa's panic in surprise, and sighed: "They said this idiot was at the top of the foundation-building stage. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it even if I was beaten to death. Is God reasonable? Can idiots cultivate immortality? Why am I stuck at the middle stage of Qi Refining?" He was very unbalanced.

Zhang Pa filled up the seven shield techniques and looked at the person coming carefully. The two men moved at an odd speed and stopped in front of the two men in the blink of an eye. The one on the left was wearing a Taoist robe and had long hair. He glanced at the young man and Zhang Pa and snorted, "Were you fighting just now?"

The young man bowed and replied, "Master Fang Chengzi, please understand. I was just testing the spell. I will remember the teachings of the sect and will never dare to fight on the grassland."

Fang Chengzi looked at the two deep pits and indeed there was the smell of refined monster skins. He said angrily, "Are you tired of doing this all day? If you want to try anything in the future, get out of the grassland!" He muttered to the people around him, "You are the one who is nosy. I told you that it's okay, but you don't believe me. What's the point of making such a fuss?" The man on the right looked like a scholar, with a white face and no beard, holding a folding fan in his hand. He didn't get angry when he heard it, and smiled, "How do you know that nothing happened if you don't see it? This year it's our turn to be on duty. We can't break the rules of the three sects. We must be careful."

Fang Chengzi snorted coldly, "There are so many poor and crooked ideas. Be careful. I'm going back." After speaking, he flashed and his figure appeared a hundred feet away. He flashed again and his figure disappeared.

The remaining scholar looked at Zhang Pa, then at the young man, and warned: "Refinement is to improve your cultivation. You must not lose sight of the main point and forget the basics."

The young man bowed his head and clasped his fists, saying respectfully, "Disciple will remember the uncle's teachings!"

The scholar nodded slightly, waved his folding fan and left leisurely.

When the scholar walked away, Zhang Pa asked, "Who are these two people?"

The young man was very proud and introduced, "The two uncles are members of the law enforcement hall of the three major sects. The Taoist who left earlier is the elder Fang Chengzi of Lingshan Sect who refines pills. The one who talked to me is the elder Yuan Zhijie of our sect. They all have the cultivation of the middle stage of the Jindan period, which is very powerful." Turning around and seeing Zhang Pa still shining with colorful light, he exclaimed, "Brother is really amazing. He has practiced seven levels of body protection skills. This is the first time I have seen it. It opened my eyes."

Zhang Pa noticed that he had not retracted the skills. Under his mind, the light flashed, and everything returned to calm.

The more clumsy he behaved, the more unbalanced the young man felt. He sighed and left in depression.

Zhang Pa didn't know what he was thinking. He pondered over the various experiences of refining talismans just now. After meditating for half a day, he had some clues. The main thing is the degree of integration of materials and the proficiency of spells. As for materials, there are a lot of jades in the storage bag for me to waste. As for spells, the Sutra Pavilion of Tianlei Mountain is said to have 800 techniques. After returning to the mountain, I must learn them thoroughly.

In the next few days, Zhang Pa passed by the grassland, mostly meditating and practicing, and occasionally going to the market. With the previous experience, in order to avoid accidents, he never made magic tools again. Until the day before the auction, Wang Miao came to him.

It turned out that someone came from Tianlei Mountain. Because of the fight with the Fushen Snake, the golden elixir of Taoist Zhenyi was exposed and his cultivation level dropped sharply. After that, he took a variety of spiritual medicines and his senior brothers helped him with treatment, and barely restored his cultivation to the top level of the Qi Refining Stage. This time, he would come to the Yueshang Gathering no matter what, even if he had to take a chance, hoping to have a chance to get immortal medicine to improve his realm.

The head of Zhenru was worried that it would be dangerous for him to go alone, so he asked Zhenhuan, Zhenkong, and Zhenmu, three masters of the Jindan Stage, to accompany him. As soon as the four of them arrived at the market, they went into the market to look for elixirs. At this time, Yue Shangji really had the appearance of a market, with people everywhere, and people coming and going in front of all the stalls. The magic tools and elixirs sold were also much higher-level.

Taoist Zhenyi went to see the stalls selling elixirs specifically, and after searching for a while, he met Wang Hezun and his son unexpectedly. Wang Hezun was the deputy master of Xianyun Valley, and his son Wang Miao was still stuck in the Qi Refining Stage. Of course, he also needed spiritual medicine to upgrade. Wang's father and son met Zhenyi and others by chance, and they exchanged some polite words. When they parted, Wang Miao interrupted and said, "Senior Brother Zhang is here too."

Zhenyi and others from Tianlei Taoist Temple could not remember who Senior Brother Zhang was, so Wang Hezun sent Wang Miao to look for him.
