Not long ago, Meng Shengming began to draw the second-grade gold talisman "Iron Armor Talisman". The drawing requirements of the Iron Armor Talisman are extremely high. Not only the drawing skills are more refined, but the requirements for drawing materials are also greatly increased. To draw the "iron armor talisman", high-quality cinnabar can no longer meet the requirements, and the essence and blood of spiritual beasts must be used.
The "Iron Armor Talisman" was also a test given to Meng Shengming by Taoist Jinshan. Jinshan Taoist told Meng Shengming that if Meng Shengming could successfully master the making of the "Iron Armor Talisman", he would continue to teach Meng Shengming how to draw the talisman. If Meng Shengming could not draw the "iron armor talisman", Jinshan Taoist would not teach him the talisman-making skills.
Meng Shengming only discovered when he came to Fangshi that the spirit beast blood was not cheap. Gritting his teeth and spending 3,600 spirit stones, Meng Shengming bought three bottles of spirit beast essence and blood. Something happened that gave Meng Shengming a headache. Three bottles of spirit beast essence and blood were used up, and the drawing of the "Iron Armor Talisman" was still not mastered.
Jinshan Taoist had anticipated this outcome. What Jinshan Taoist was testing was not Meng Shengming's talisman-making skills, but the real test of the Meng family's financial resources.
If you practice the art of drawing talismans, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort if you are talented, but such talents are rare. Most cultivators practice the way of drawing talismans by using spiritual stones to pave the way, and through repeated practice, they gradually become familiar with the techniques. Practicing the way of drawing talismans requires spending a huge amount of spiritual stones, which is not something ordinary cultivators can afford.
Meng Shengming has always been smart and quickly realized the true intention of Jinshan Taoist. Meng Shengming knew the current situation of the Meng family, and it was difficult to support him in practicing the way of drawing talismans.
The Meng family can harvest nearly 10,000 spiritual stones from the mine every year, but the Meng family's iron ore is close to depletion, and it is unknown how long it can last. The Meng family had a deposit of about 50,000 spiritual stones. As a last resort, Meng Shengming did not want to use this spiritual stone. She wanted to keep it until she built a foundation, and then use it to buy auxiliary elixirs.
So Meng Shengming set his sights on He Zheng. The two of them worked for the sect in Gaoyang Temple. They usually didn't look up or down, making them easy to get close to. Moreover, He Zheng is very forthright, has no scheming, is cheerful, and is very kind to others.
He Zhengshen is the sixth young master of the He family. He has good qualifications and the He family attaches great importance to him. Meng Shengming first got close to He Zheng and became a good friend, and then vigorously promoted the marriage between the two families.
Meng Shengming is still very confident in her sister's appearance. There are only a few cultivating families in Gaoyang Mansion, and there are even fewer young female cultivators. There are not many who look like Meng Yiming. He didn't believe that He Zheng was unmoved. As long as he passed the test of He Zheng, he wouldn't be afraid of the He family's disapproval.
He Zheng asked his servants to serve a table of wine and food. The vegetarian food in the temple was too unpalatable. Every day when he came back to the house, he had to have a good meal to reward himself. The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and they had a great time chatting.
At Haishi, the huge Jian Yue Immortal statue in Gaoyang Taoist Temple lights up on time, emitting a dazzling white light that is extremely visible in the dark night. The people throughout Gaoyang City could clearly see that most people quickly lit short incense sticks, placed them in front of the wooden statue of Fairy Jane on their desks, and began to pray for blessings.
In a space inside the Jian Yue Immortal Statue in Gaoyang Taoist Temple, Taoist Jinshan sat cross-legged in front of a huge magic array. With his hands in seals and his whole body glowing with golden light, he fully drove the "All Things Awe-inspiring Spirit Array" to activate the Jian Yue Immortal Statue and began to absorb the energy of millions of believers in Gaoyang City. Essence and spiritual power of faith.
There is an exquisite alchemy furnace in the center of the "All Things Deterring Spirits Array". The alchemy furnace is a sixth-grade "Spirit Deterring Furnace" and serves as the center of the "All Things Deterring Spirits Array". The magic circle absorbs the essence and spiritual power of millions of believers and injects them all into the "Spirit Furnace" to refine the "Qingke Dan".
"Qingke Dan" is a fifth-grade high-grade elixir with mysterious medicinal effects and is extremely precious.
It has two main effects. The first one is that after taking it, by performing Qing Yuan Jue, a special kind of Qi called "Qing Ling Yuan Qi" can be transformed, which is very useful for practitioners in the foundation building stage when forming pills. The other method is to use the Green Soul Manual after taking it, which can nourish the soul and directly enhance the spiritual soul of the cultivator.
These two effects of "Qingke Dan" make Qingke Dan extremely important not only to practitioners at the foundation-building stage, but also to practitioners above the foundation-building stage. Qingke Dan has an unimaginable demand in the world of cultivation and has become extremely precious.
Taoist Jinshan, as the master of Gaoyang Taoist Temple, is a steward of Huangsheng Sect and the backbone of the sect. The secrets that Pu Le knew were much more detailed and comprehensive. As a token issued by the sect to believers, the Jian Yue Ling Pei not only absorbs the essence of the believer's body, but most importantly, it can collect and store the believer's spiritual power of faith at all times.
The most important thing in refining "Qingke Dan" is the believer's spiritual power of faith. The "Spirit Furnace" contains prepared elixirs, basic pills made of various elixirs, and finally pours in sufficient spiritual power of faith. Only strength and essence can be successfully refined.
The spiritual power of faith is a kind of will power and spiritual power that ordinary people have when they believe in fairies, pray for their blessings, and pray. The more devout a believer is, the stronger the spiritual power of faith will be.
Therefore, sects all over the world build Taoist temples to attract believers, standardize the words and deeds of sect disciples, use various means to enhance the sect's prestige in the hearts of the people, publicize the achievements of Fairy Jianyue, sing about Fairy Jianyue's kindness and love, and inspire the people They believe in Fairy Jian Yue more devoutly.
But Jinshan Taoist people have always had a question in their minds: why do all the sects make statues of Fairy Jian Yue and worship Fairy Jian Yue? What is the secret in this?
Gaoyang Taoist Temple has 1.5 million believers in Gaoyang City and can produce three Qingke Dan every month, which is equivalent to one Qingke Dan per month for every 500,000 believers. There are eight mortal kingdoms within Huang Shengzong's sphere of influence, with a total of thirty Jian Yue Immortal statues. They can only obtain nearly 400 Qing Ke Dan every year, which shows how rare Qing Ke Dan is.
There are more than a thousand cultivators in the Huang Sheng Sect above the foundation stage, and each year the sect only produces nearly 400 Qing Ke Dan. There are more wolves and less meat, and there are not enough to share with the original. This shows how precious the Qing Ke Dan is.
All sects in the world attach great importance to the number of believers and use their maximum financial resources to increase the number of believers within the sect's sphere of influence. Then why does Gaoyang Taoist Temple only distribute the January Spirit Pendant to the people within Gaoyang City?
Huang Shengzong had no choice. The Jian Yuexian statue was an extremely special third-grade luck magic weapon. It can absorb the essence and spiritual power of believers, but there is a distance limit.
The Jian Yue Immortal Statue can only cover a radius of a thousand miles. Believers who wear the Jian Yue Spirit Pendant lose contact with the Jian Yue Immortal Statue outside this range and cannot absorb the essence and spiritual power of faith.
The range of the jade Jane Moon Lingpei is slightly longer than that of the wooden Lingpei, but the jade Jane Moon Lingpei is carved from Qingtian white jade and is not cheap.
A piece of Jade Moon Lingpei costs about fifty spiritual stones, and an increase of half a million pilgrims means that one more Qingke Dan per month costs a huge amount of twenty-five million spiritual stones. Even if Huang Shengzong was wealthy, the Qingtian white jade used for carving spirit pendants was not that large in stock.
At this time, questions will arise, why not refine a few more statues of the Jian Yue Immortal and build Taoist temples in towns with large populations?
