If there is any potential impact of this exposure of the beetle shell, it is that after a few days, when his deeds spread, the neighbors became much more enthusiastic towards him.
When you step out of the yard, you will be greeted by the smiling faces of the neighbors.
Or a slight nod, or a simple hello, or a few pleasantries.
"Good morning, Fellow Daoist Chen, where are you coming from?"
"..."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, come to the courtyard for a cup of spiritual tea?"
"..."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, come in and sit down? Hey, you girl, you don't know how to say hello to Friend Daoist Chen when you see her. Friend Daoist Chen, this is a little girl. She is shy because she has never seen the world, so don't show up."
"..."
Whenever this happens, Chen Ping smiles and nods the whole time, then quickly returns to the house, closes the courtyard door, house door, and window.
Still feel comfortable through practice.
There have been many visitors in the past few days, including He Xianxiang who also came out to have a drink with him, and then went back to retreat.
In addition, people from the Ning Mansion also came once and offered Chen Ping a salary that was five or six times higher than when he was a servant before. They asked Chen Ping if he was interested in going back?
Chen Ping naturally declined politely.
It is impossible to work part-time.
In order to avoid being disturbed, Chen Ping only saw a few of them during the period. During the rest of the time, he often chose to go to the relatively safe Sunset Forest to practice exercises and spells.
Yun Yanbu made some progress again.
He intuitively estimated that it was probably reaching a speed of 70 meters/second.
As for the small spiritual sword, it has improved a little since it broke through the 'proficient' realm.
Instant hit speed, distance and spilled explosion effects have all been improved to a certain extent.
As for realm.
With the constant daily supply of Qi-Building Pills, some values have also improved.
[Realm: Qi training (fourth level): 23/100. 】
He calculated the progress and found that it would take about three months to advance to the first level.
Although it is more difficult to advance as you advance, the longer it takes.
But he is also investing more resources.
For example, the robe used to be of low quality, but now it is of medium quality.
I didn’t have Qi training pills before, but now I supplement Qi training pills every day.
The Evergreen Kung Fu has already advanced to the level of 'Expert'.
These have potential bonus effects on improving one’s realm.
On the other hand, it takes about three months to advance to the first level.
I don’t know if the time will be extended once I reach the later stage of Qi training, at least for now.
The only regret is that I haven’t started drawing symbols yet.
This thing is no better than spells. Now when learning a new spell, he can get started quickly without much bottlenecks.
This may be a variety of spells, and the basics of using spiritual power are the same.
But the symbols are different.
This is a skill and a completely new field. It is not just about the use of spiritual power, but also involves many other things.
He has tried a lot during this period, but unfortunately he still hasn't figured out the rules. During this period, I also went to Fangshi twice, but I couldn't find a lot of annotated talisman books in Fangshi.
Yu Qingyi also found no talisman master who was willing to teach people how to draw talisman.
Seeing the price of talismans on the market rising little by little, he couldn't get started, which made him somewhat irritated.
At this moment.
Chen Ping sat at the desk.
...Clean the body, meditate, recite mantras, pick up a pen...
After a set of fixed procedures, he began to draw the simplest cleaning symbols.
'First draw with a left gesture, and write three horizontal strokes on the right, like a gentle breeze supporting a hill. In the middle, downwards and vertically, and in circles...'
...a puff of smoke came out.
...a ball of fire burst out.
... mediocre, average calligraphy.
"Snapped."
Chen Ping threw away his pen... Labor and management will never draw talisman again. They will never draw it in this life. If they draw it again...
...just paint again and again.
'First draw with a left gesture, and write three horizontal hooks on the right, like a breeze supporting a hill...'
An hour later, Chen Ping looked at the useless talisman in front of him and sighed irritably.
never mind.
Don't try it yourself.
Go to Fangshi to try your luck.
...
Chengdongfang City.
Chen Ping, wearing a slightly old-fashioned face after disguise, wandered around the market for a while, silently observing several stall owners selling talismans.
Finally, I picked one of them, walked over, and picked in front of the stall.
"Fellow Taoist, what talisman do you want to buy?"
The stall owner was a middle-aged monk, and the aura he exuded was not that strong.
The talismans sold include a small amount of cleaning talismans and fire talismans. In addition, most of them are mid-to-high-end talismans such as evil-repelling talismans, body protection talismans, and wind-controlling talismans.
If you focus on high-end talismans, you won't value the skills of low-end talismans so much.
Chen Ping picked up a cleaning charm, looked at it, and asked:
"Fellow Taoist, is the last stroke of this talisman a little heavy? Will this affect the efficacy of the talisman?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged monk looked at Chen Ping warily, and then said impatiently:
"Just tell me why you have been picking and choosing for a long time but didn't buy it. It turns out that you are a colleague. Go, go, go. We don't do your business here."
Chen Ping did not get up and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, just listen to what I say and then make a decision?"
"I think Taoists sell mostly high-end talismans, so they probably don't care about low-end talismans like cleaning talismans. As for me, I just want to learn cleaning talismans."
"How about this, my Taoist friend teaches me how to draw the talisman and I pay the spirit stone?"
The middle-aged monk obviously encountered this kind of door-to-door learning talisman many times, so he refused directly:
"No teaching, no teaching, fellow Taoist, find someone else."
If it were normal times, there would definitely be a Talisman Master tempted.
But now they are basically rejected. The reason is that the talismans are valuable, and the world is in chaos, and believers are not safe.
Who knows if the apprentice may have evil intentions along the way?
Chen Ping still didn't get up and said with a smile:
"Don't refuse in a hurry. I'll tell you my conditions. If you think it's not suitable, it won't be too late to refuse."
"First, I only learn cleaning charms."
"Secondly, just find a place to teach in this city. You won't go to your house or mine. You and I won't know each other afterwards."
"Thirdly, I only study for two hours and leave when the time is up, regardless of whether I have learned it or not. The premise is that fellow Taoists cannot hide their secrets."
"Fourth, I'll pay the spirit stone, we can negotiate."
"How is it? Fellow Taoist. With such a good condition, if you really don't teach me, then I will find someone else. By then, not only will you not have earned the spiritual stone, but you will have an additional peer."
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged Talisman master did not refuse immediately.
It seems to be weighing the pros and cons.
What Chen Ping said was tempting to him.
Since he can draw amulets, he won't often draw low-end talismans such as cleaning talismans. Cleaning talismans are too cheap, so it would not cost him much to just teach Chen Ping the cleaning talismans.
If classes are taught on-site in Fangshi, there will be no safety issues, and there will be no disputes afterwards.
After all, he doesn't have his true face right now.
He believed that Chen Ping was not his true face either.
No one knew anyone afterwards.
And two hours is not too long. 'Leave when it's time' means that it doesn't matter what Chen Ping's qualifications are? Can it be learned? This has nothing to do with him.
It's a one-and-done deal with no follow-up hassles.
Worth trying.
The premise is that the spirit stone is in place.
"How many spirit stones can you pay?" the middle-aged Talisman Master asked tentatively.
Chen Ping Xunxun said:
"In two hours, fellow Taoist can only successfully draw one amulet, right? The current amulet contains 8-9 low-grade spiritual stones. How about I give you ten low-grade spiritual stones?"
"This is a completely unprofitable business. I brought the talisman paper and pen and ink myself. When you draw the amulet, you have to waste the talisman skin, consume the talisman ink, and there is a risk of it being scrapped."
The middle-aged Talisman Master was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Chen Ping to be so well prepared.
But the price obviously dissatisfied him. He could successfully draw more than one talisman in two hours:
"You... are too low, no, no, no. Forget it, forget it, you should find another Talisman Master."
The middle-aged Talisman Master waved his hands repeatedly.
Chen Ping smiled inwardly. Although he drove people away, it was obvious that he still had some scruples, but at the same time he pointed out that the price was too low.
This means that there is still intention in the heart, and the next step is nothing more than the drama of "getting more money".
The price for the ten low-grade spiritual stones is indeed low. It is different from the past. This is no longer the floor price, but a completely low price.
After some pulling and pulling, the transaction price was finally set at eighteen low-grade spiritual stones.
"Let's talk about it first. Fangshi will teach you on-site for two hours. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your own ability. Don't come to me again after that. Hey..." the middle-aged Talisman Master said while closing the stall.
Although the agreement was reached, when it came time to teach the students, I seemed to have some regrets and tangles.
Chen Ping smiled and promised:
"Of course."
Two hours should be enough...right?
The worst thing is to follow the same pattern and find another talisman master to learn it again.
If one method can be used, all methods can be used!
