After several days of copying on rice paper, Liu Yu had a complete idea of the talisman pattern of the "Floating Dust Talisman", so he received this month's welfare of 30 "Pine Wood Talisman Papers" from "Gui Yi Tang", and placed it on the newly moved mahogany talisman table. Go ahead and start trying to make symbols.
Liu Yu first prepared the "talisman water" with cinnabar and crystal powder. The "floating dust talisman" was only a first-grade spiritual talisman, and there was no need to add the spirit beast talisman blood. Then he took out a picture scroll-sized "pine wood talisman paper" and laid it flat on the desk. .
Liu Yu held the "Fire Crown Brush" in her hand and took a deep breath, lightly dipped it in the "talisman water", and injected soul energy into the "Fire Crown Brush". First, she wrote ten exquisite runes in one stroke and one line. The "runes" are strung together one by one to form a complete "floating dust spell".
"The talisman pulses are clear and coherent, and the talisman is cast with just one wave, not bad!" Shi Changming watched Liu Yu finish painting, then stood up and came to Liu Yu's table, took a look at the talisman paper on the table and said.
Liu Yu said with a smile on her face: "Senior brother made fun of you."
"The next step is to 'inject spirit'. When injecting spiritual power, you need to do it slowly and in a smooth manner. Don't do it too hastily." Shi Changming reminded.
Liu Yu nodded, and then used his spiritual consciousness to float the "talisman paper" in the air, mobilized the spiritual power of his Dantian to start "injecting spirit", and the spiritual power slowly injected into the "rune" along the talisman veins.
The talisman paper emits a bright light and shrinks little by little. As long as the ten runes that make up the "Floating Dust Talisman" are filled with spiritual power, this "Floating Dust Talisman" will be successfully completed.
The first five runes were filled quickly and smoothly. When it came to the sixth rune, Liu Yu couldn't help but frowned and felt that his spiritual power was stagnant, like running into a ravine.
Liu Yu could only strengthen the spiritual power poured into him, and saw flames burst out of the "talisman paper" floating in mid-air. The entire "talisman paper" was immediately burned by the fire and turned into ashes and fell to the table.
"Senior brother, why is this?" Liu Yu asked with a blank look on his face.
"The soul energy is scattered but not condensed, and the talismans are blocked. It will naturally happen if spiritual power is poured into it." Shi Changming opened his mouth to explain the reason. It turns out that when drawing a "talisman", one needs to consume one's own soul energy to evenly blend into the "talisman water" so that the drawn "talisman" can take effect. Otherwise, the drawn "talisman" will only have its form but not its spirit.
The "Floating Dust Talisman" drawn by Liu Yu failed because when he was writing the sixth rune, his soul energy was scattered and the talisman's veins were blocked. After injecting spiritual power, the talisman "self-immolated".
When the Talisman Master draws the talisman, there is actually a certain danger involved, because failure of the talisman in the "spirit injection" stage will cause unpredictable consequences.
The higher the level of the spiritual talisman, the greater the danger to the talisman. Failure of the "Floating Dust Talisman" will simply burn it. After the failure of a high-level spiritual talisman, a large amount of spiritual power will instantly go out of control, which can easily trigger a powerful "talisman explosion".
"When junior brother drew the talisman, the soul energy gathered and stayed together. It was quite smooth. I don't know what went wrong." Liu Yu thought about the process of drawing the talisman just now and found that there were no mistakes, so he said to Shi Changming distressedly.
Shi Changming chuckled and said: "The "Fire Crown Pen" in the hands of junior brother is a second-grade talisman pen. It gathers the soul and ventilates the spirit. Of course, it will feel very smooth when writing the "Floating Dust Talisman". But junior brother is a beginner and has a weak foundation. The soul energy can pass through the talisman." When the pen is blended into the "talisman water", the thickness will be uneven, and the talisman veins will naturally become intermittent and blocked."
"Brother, what should we do?" Liu Yu asked with a solemn expression.
Shi Changming said calmly: "Junior brother, there is no need to worry. Beginners are all like this. They just need to practice more. As for the "Fire Crown Pen", don't use it for the time being. After laying a solid foundation, you can use this pen again. Naturally, it becomes even more powerful.”
After listening to Shi Changming's words, Liu Yu understood the shortcomings and quickly raised his hands and said, "Thank you, senior brother for your advice."
Liu Yu saw that there was not much "talisman water" left in Shi Changming's inkstone, so he quickly prepared a new "talisman water". Liu Yu was now an "apprentice" and helped Shi Changming. All these scattered and tedious things were naturally taken care of. Liu Yu.
Liu Yu prepared the "talisman water" used by Shi Changming, then returned to his talisman table, followed Shi Changming's advice, carefully cleaned the "Fire Crown Pen", put it away, and took out a "pine wood talisman" from the storage bag. Paper", and the gradeless "green bamboo pen", start drawing again.
Liu Yu quickly felt the problem when drawing the talisman this time. First of all, his soul energy was scattered and it was difficult to integrate into the "talisman water". He had trouble learning the "runes". After drawing a complete "floating dust talisman", he was exhausted. , wasting a lot of energy.
Liu Yu took a look at the "Floating Dust Talisman" he drew. The whole "talisman" was quite neat, but when he took a closer look, Liu Yu couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. The strokes of the "rune" are deviated in many places, and the "rune lines" are intermittent. No "spiritual injection" is needed, and the naked eye can tell that the rune is invalid.
Liu Yu sat quietly for a while, recharging his energy and then continued practicing. The completed "talisman" was no better than the previous one. Liu Yu was not discouraged and continued to write until his head became unbearably swollen and he stopped. Ten "pine wood talismans" were consumed in vain in one day.
The "Pinewood Talisman Papers" issued by Qianfu Tower were used up in three days. Liu Yu could only spend his own spiritual stones to buy "Pinewood Talisman Papers" at "Guiyi Hall". A stack of fifty pieces was sold for fifteen yuan each. Low-level spiritual stones, this is still the sect's preferential price. Each stack of "pine wood talismans" in the front hall of Qianfu Tower sells for one thousand low-level spiritual stones.
For the next half month, Liu Yu devoted himself to crazy practice, drawing at least ten "Floating Dust Talismans" every day until his soul energy was exhausted and his body was extremely exhausted. After the "soul energy" is consumed, it needs to be restored by meditating for a certain period of time or going to bed and resting.
Of course, those with deep pockets can purchase elixirs such as "Soul Nourishing Pills", which can quickly replenish the consumed "soul energy" after taking them, but most of these elixirs are expensive.
Liu Yucai has reached the seventh level of qi training, and the living soul in the mud palace cave is still very weak. The soul qi emitted is only enough to draw ten "dust spells". Excessive consumption will make him dizzy and extremely uncomfortable. Otherwise, Liu Yu would not only practice ten "Floating Dust Talismans" a day.
Liu Yu wants to become a "junior talisman master" like Xiao Jun as soon as possible. Not only can he use the talisman materials provided by the sect to enhance his talisman drawing skills, but he can also make a decent income.
Liu Yu learned from Xiao Jun that if an apprentice wants to become a "junior talisman master" in Qianfu Tower, he must pass a rigorous assessment. After handing in the assessment fee, Qianfu Tower will arrange an on-site talisman drawing test.
Qianfu Tower will provide a set of runes and an ordinary rune pen. This rune material is only enough to draw three spiritual runes. The apprentice must use this rune material to successfully draw three different first-grade runes, and one of them Zhang must be a first-grade high-level spiritual talisman, and there is no restriction on the type of spiritual talisman.
Liu Yu's plan in the next few months is to first master the first-level low-level spiritual talisman "Floating Dust Talisman", then practice the first-level intermediate spiritual talisman "Divine Walking Talisman", and finally master the first-level high-level spiritual talisman "Hidden Breath Talisman", and then apply for the assessment as soon as possible. He quickly became the "Junior Talisman Master" of Qianfu Tower.
