Small courtyard, old locust tree.
Ling Xiao took a sip of the fragrant tea and sighed: "Taoist Master, it took me a full month to increase the power of the fireball technique by about 20%, but the success rate of making talismans is still less than 30%. I want to continue to improve, but it seems that I have encountered a problem. We’ve reached a bottleneck.”
These are what he has gained in the past month.
Ling Xiao was very dissatisfied after practicing so desperately and only improving the success rate by less than 10%.
Unexpectedly, when Xuanjizi heard this, he frowned and said, "Little friend Ling, the success rate of 30% is already extremely excellent."
"ah?"
Ling Xiao was startled.
"Presumably, my little friend's attainments in the fireball technique have reached an extremely advanced level. Your understanding is the only one I've seen in my life. I admire you!" Xuanjizi said solemnly.
"ah?"
Ling Xiao was stunned for a while before asking: "I read in a book that the success rate of an excellent talisman maker in making first-level talismans can reach about 40%!"
Xuanjizi laughed dumbly, "What you are talking about is the standard for magic monks. Body training monks have some constraints on their understanding of magic power. The 30% success rate is enough to show that you have extraordinary understanding!"
Ling Xiao secretly smiled bitterly.
I see.
It’s really not that he was in Versailles, but that he didn’t understand the difference between physical exercise and religious practice.
[Does this kid really not have any guidance from a teacher? 】
【I can’t believe it! 】
The old locust tree hummed, his tone a little complicated.
It has lived for thousands of years and has seen all the amazing and talented disciples of Qingfeng Temple in the past. At this moment, it has to admit that Ling Xiao's achievements are not inferior to those of those people and the Xuanjizi in front of him.
After hearing these words, Ling Xiao couldn't help but see the shadow of the Goddess of Heaven in front of his eyes.
Only now did he realize that Tuo Shenhua had actually taught him a lot.
Although most of these pointers were given in a sarcastic way, they did indeed help Ling Xiao!
It's a pity that Ling Xiao was immersed in the obsession of proving it to Tu Shenhua and ignored this point. He didn't realize it until he heard what the old pagoda tree said!
This guy……
Ling Xiao secretly gritted his teeth.
Just give me some advice, why are you mocking me?
No wonder the grass margin is so bad!
"I always thought that I was still far behind." Ling Xiao sighed.
"Haha, there is no need to belittle yourself. My little friend's understanding of talismans is enough to make Linfeng City proud."
It’s so cool to hear people praise you!
Ling Xiao felt refreshed for a while, but he still did not forget the original intention of coming here today, and asked: "Taoist Master, I would like to ask if you can allow me to make talismans in Qingfeng Temple?"
Xuanjizi was a little confused by this request and asked: "Isn't it the same wherever you make the talisman?"
Ling Xiao solemnly said: "No! When I was at home, there were too many worldly things and I was inevitably distracted, so I always wanted to find a secluded place to study the making of talismans. I think Qingfeng Temple is good, Taoist Master, can you agree to my request? ? Even if you have to charge me rent, it’s okay!”
Xuanjizi smiled and said: "That's it. Okay, anyway, there are many free rooms in Qingfeng Temple. You can choose as you like. As for the rent, there is no need to mention it again!"
"Where does the Taoist usually make talismans? Is it right here?"
Seeing Xuanjizi nodding, Ling Xiao took it a step further and asked shamelessly, "Can I make a talisman here too?" Then he looked at Xuanjizi eagerly.
"It's not impossible...Does Pindao need to avoid it?"
"Anything is fine."
Ling Xiao said with great joy, and then immediately took out the talisman drawing tool and started drawing the talisman on the spot, looking impatient.
Xuanjizi was confused by his series of weird behaviors, neither leaving nor staying.
No, this is my Taoist temple!
Xuanjizi figured this out and simply stayed to see what Ling Xiao was going to do.
Making talismans does require purity, but it also needs to be in a familiar place, right?
Xuanjizi was very suspicious that Ling Xiao had an ulterior motive, but he would not expose it for the time being and would wait and see what would happen.
However, Ling Xiao was really just making talismans.
What he drew is still the one he is most proficient in currently, the Fireball Talisman.
As soon as the pen moved, the old locust tree next to it began to comment.
[The writing skills are smooth and skillful, which is rare and comes from those who have worked hard...]
[This stroke is not good enough, the consciousness is too restless, it seems that it will fail...]
【Huh? Did you actually adjust back? interesting……】
Pen, stop.
A fireball talisman, drawn successfully!
Ling Xiao was ecstatic.
As he expected, Laohuaishu easily understood his many problems in making talismans!
The reason why he made such an abrupt request to Xuanjizi was for this reason!
marvelous!
Although Ling Xiao was overjoyed, he did not forget his original intention. He closed his eyes and silently understood the process of drawing the talisman just now, especially the shortcomings that the old locust tree raised that were very easy to ignore.
Although he corrected it in time, the quality of this fireball talisman was also slightly affected and it was not so perfect.
To avoid this problem happening again next time, you must keep it in mind!
Xuanjizi looked at the fireball talisman and then at Ling Xiao, feeling even more suspicious.
Is it really just a talisman?
A success?
I'm pretty lucky. I almost failed a few times just now.
After thinking for a moment, Xuanjizi's heart moved slightly, and he stood up and said, "I still have things to deal with. I just draw the talisman here. If you have any questions, just go out and find a disciple to convey it to you."
"good!"
Ling Xiao agreed, but did not open his eyes.
Xuanjizi left full of doubts. After going out, he called Ma Ying.
"What? He wants to make a talisman inside the temple?"
Ma Ying was stunned after hearing Ling Xiao's request, and then thought: "Master, could it be that he is a spy sent by someone else to steal my inheritance?"
Xuanjizi said in a deep voice: "It is indeed possible."
Ma Ying's eyes sparkled, and she said solemnly: "In that case, why don't we..."
"No!"
Xuan Jizi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, shook his head and said, "You must be on guard against others, but you cannot wrongly accuse good people for no reason. Just wait here and watch what happens. If you find any problems, report them to me in time!"
"I will obey Master's instructions."
While Xuanjizi's master and apprentice were talking, Ling Xiao's second drawing of the fireball talisman also ended.
This time, it was still successful!
This time, the old locust tree also gave him different advice.
Only then did Ling Xiao realize that his previous process of making the talisman had so many elements of luck!
He had never noticed the problems pointed out by the old locust tree!
Sometimes if you are lucky, you will draw it right; if you are not lucky, you will draw it wrong.
Then he ignorantly called himself a talisman maker, not understanding the key point at all.
Thinking about it now, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel ashamed.
continue!
The production of fireball talismans is far from reaching its limit!
…
Time flies.
More than 1 hour later.
Ling Xiao's body ran out of mana, so he stopped making talismans.
It's not too early, it's time to go back.
Ling Xiao stood up and packed his tools.
[There's something wrong with you, kid! 】
【Something is wrong! 】
[Didn’t I say that your success rate is only 30%? 】
Next to it, the old locust tree let out an incredible exclamation.
Ling Xiaolong made a total of 11 talismans and succeeded 5 times!
There is obviously a huge gap between this success rate and the success rate mentioned by Ling Xiao!
