Return to your accommodation and have a good night's rest.
The next day, Xu Wen, who had just gotten up, suddenly felt the urge to draw a talisman.
Putting everything else down, he sat in front of the desk, slowly took out a piece of talisman paper and placed it in front of him. He also rubbed it carefully several times to ensure that the talisman paper was smooth and smooth.
He took out the talisman and grinded it carefully. Circles of ripples rippled in the spiritual inkstone, as if his whole mind was drawn into it.
At a certain moment, the urge to start writing became irresistible, as if the water that was about to fill up would overflow if it did not find a place to vent.
He suddenly picked up his pen, dipped it in thick talisman ink, and swung straight down.
Horizontal and vertical strokes, lifting and turning, every part is smooth and smooth.
After the last stroke, a flash of inspiration occurred. The talisman did not turn into ashes like before, but the brilliance converged and entered the core of the talisman.
The water talisman can produce about two liters of clean water after being activated. Three talismans are enough for an ordinary person to use in a day.
With the investment of dozens of spirit stones and several months of time, he finally succeeded in drawing an inferior water talisman and became a talisman-making apprentice.
From this we can deduce that his qualifications for making talismans can only be said to be quite satisfactory, neither good nor bad.
In terms of input-output, it’s definitely a loss to grandma’s family.
Not counting the wear and tear of the talisman pen, it also cost more than 40 spirit stones in paper and ink, and this clear water talisman was not worth even one broken spirit stone.
If you continue to draw the water talisman, you will probably succeed only once in ten times, and there will be no hope of getting back your money.
It's no wonder that Liu Minghe disapproved of him learning to make talismans. Such a huge expenditure was indeed too unfriendly to casual cultivators.
However, for Xu Wen, who has the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique, spiritual stones are not really a big problem. Mastering a skill is the most important thing.
Unfolding the Yuehua Pure Heart Silk and pouring it with his mind, the spiritual texts on it gradually disappeared one by one. These inherited spiritual texts had reached their final moments, but the information contained in them was gathered into Xu Wen's mind one by one.
Many things that were originally vague and seemed to be mastered, but always went wrong during the actual operation, gradually became clear.
He took out a piece of talisman paper again and started drawing it again...
The days became peaceful again, and Xu Wen resumed his regular life of practicing, performing magic, making talismans, and catching ghosts.
It seems to be the same thing over and over again, and it seems like it's just meaningless repetition, but change and progress are happening slowly.
Late that night, while he was concentrating on practicing, there was a disturbance in the protective formation in the house.
At night, there are usually no visitors, either enemies or good friends.
Qingfeng City is very safe. There are basically no house break-ins and robberies. The only one who comes is Liu Minghe.
With a thought in his mind, he slowly stopped.
Liu Minghe is not a frivolous person. There must be something very important to come to him at this time.
When I went out, I saw that in addition to Liu Minghe, there was also a short and fat young man with extremely bright eyes. He looked very shrewd at first glance. It was Guang Yutong whom I had not seen for a long time.
"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Guang!"
Xu Wen said hello, but suddenly felt that Liu Minghe was a little different today. His face was full of joy, the fluctuations in his mana could not be concealed, and his pressure was deeper than before.
Suddenly something occurred to him, he opened his eyes, laughed and congratulated:
"Senior Brother Liu, have you made a breakthrough? Congratulations!"
"Haha, lucky luck!"
Liu Minghe was also very happy. Although he spoke modestly, the movements on his face and body all showed his joy.
It took less than a year to break through the first level of Qi refining, and the speed of cultivation in casual cultivation is definitely not slow.
Regarding the nine realms of Qi Refining, the Four Spiritual Roots monks have a saying of "several realms and several years".
In other words, it takes about one year for the first level of Qi Refining to break through to the second level of Qi Refining, and two years for the second level to advance to the third level.
By analogy, it takes nine years for a monk at the ninth level of Qi refining to reach the Great Perfection and then try to build a foundation.
Taking everything together, it takes a full 45 years of cultivation for the Four Spiritual Roots monks to achieve the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
Before the age of 12, the spiritual roots are not fully developed and cannot be cultivated.
Assume that a Four Spiritual Roots monk starts practicing at the age of 12 and refines his Qi to become a Dharma at the age of 13. If everything goes well, he will probably complete the Qi Perfection at the age of 58 and hit the foundation building for the first time just before the age of 60.
The success rate of attacking foundation building before the age of sixty is relatively high, but then the energy and spirit begin to decline, and the success rate plummets.
This is also the reason why many small sects use the four spiritual roots as the threshold for accepting disciples. These monks have a chance to build a foundation.
The reason why the five spiritual roots are called "pseudo spiritual roots" is because it is basically impossible for them to advance to the ninth level of Qi refining before the age of 60.
By the time the Qi Refining reaches the Great Perfection, the Five Spiritual Roots monks have already lost their Qi and blood, and there is no possibility of building a foundation anymore.
After practicing for a lifetime, there is no chance to even attack the foundation. This kind of spiritual root is equal to non-existent, so it is called "pseudo spiritual root".
Liu Minghe was able to advance to the second level of Qi Refining in less than a year without any help, which meant that he had better qualifications than ordinary Four Spiritual Root monks. He had one or two opportunities to attack the foundation. Xu Wen was of course happy for him.
The three of them came into the house, and before Xu Wen could say anything, Liu Minghe took the initiative and said:
"Junior Brother Xu, I didn't come here specifically to show off today."
"In the afternoon, not long after I broke through, I received a message from Manager Liu, asking me to find a few people to help him harvest pearl rice..."
It turned out that after Liu Yubo returned to Qingfeng City, his position had been determined and he was responsible for the spiritual planting of Qingfeng City.
There are several major outputs in Qingfeng City, and Lingzhi is the biggest one. If he can be responsible for this area, he is considered to be in a high position, second only to several city lords in Qingfeng City.
After a inspection, he found that the pearl rice among many spiritual plants was about to mature and needed to be harvested, so he asked Liu Minghe to call a few people to help.
Naturally, Liu Minghe would not refuse such a good thing about getting closer to Liu Yubo. He thought of Guang Yutong and Xu Wen first, and immediately hurriedly dragged Guang Yutong to Xu Wen.
Xu Wen naturally agreed to this kind of thing without hesitation.
After agreeing on a departure time, Liu Minghe and Guang Yutong left in a hurry. Harvesting pearl rice was not something that three people could complete. They had to contact many people.
Seeing Liu Minghe's energetic look, Xu Wen was also very happy for this good friend.
By handing such a good thing to Liu Minghe, Liu Yubo was obviously giving him a hint and testing him.
As long as this was done properly, he would not only be able to establish connections among casual cultivators, but also gain Liu Yubo's approval.
With this support, he is no longer a completely helpless casual cultivator.
Xu Wen didn't have the mentality of "afraid of his brother's suffering, but also afraid of his brother driving a Land Rover". He was only happy for Liu Minghe.
And Liu Minghe did not let him down. Seeing him come to him immediately when something good happened was enough to prove this point.
It was already early in the morning when the two of them were sent away. After calculating the time, the ghost market had already opened, so it was just a good time to take a trip.
He has missed the ghost market several times in recent times. Although he knows that he may not gain anything if he goes there, he always feels like he has missed several fourth-level spiritual objects.
Must make up for it today!
With this thought in mind, Xu Wen put away the inferior talisman he had drawn recently and strode towards the ghost market.
