The next day, Liu Yu took Tang Zhi to Bai Xinglin and bought two bottles of medium-sized "Qingjing Lingmi", one hundred "Huazhi Pills", and six hundred "Lotus Fragrant Pills". After discounting the "Thousand Wood Order" in Liu Yu's hand by 20%, he also spent 150,000 low-level spiritual stones.
Ten days later, Tang Zhi went down the mountain alone to Jiangling City in the Shu Kingdom. Ansha County under the jurisdiction of Jiangling City was the hometown of Tang Zhi's late mother. Liu Yu accompanied Tang Zhi to the "Sujiapu" where he celebrated his birthday. Being a hundred miles away from Ansha County, this way, junior sister working in Jiangling Taoist Temple should not be too lonely.
After Tang Zhi left, the ordinary days became more and more boring. Day after day, year after year, looking after the shop, painting talismans, practicing spells and exercises, Jade Talisman Tower, Xuanyu Cave Talisman, and Holy Talisman Hall. ,
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is still no progress in the "Heavenly Master's Mantra: Dao Soul Heart Sutra", and a ray of Dao Soul Qi has still not been condensed in Zi Mansion.
"Hey!" Liu Yu stood up from the stone bed and couldn't help but sigh deeply. He just tried again, using his mental skills to condense the "Tao Soul Qi", but as usual, his efforts were in vain.
Although there has been no progress in the "Celestial Master's True Words: Daohun Heart Sutra" over the years, Liu Yu has been practicing the "Celestial Master's True Words and Categorical Technique" for a long time. It's just that without the nourishment of the "Tao Soul Qi" to the living soul, the power of this spell is average.
Liu Yu also practiced the main skill "Jinsha Shetu Jing" to a high level, and also mastered the two high-level spells "Jin Yuan Thick Earth Shield" and "Jin Sha Flying Rock Spear" that come with the skill.
In addition, the second level of "Xuanxue Escape" has also been practiced proficiently. After using it, the speed of the sword and body movements are faster. Although it has not yet reached proficiency, it has not mastered the short-distance teleportation contained in this level of secret method. ability.
But once the "Mysterious Blood Escape" is turned on, Liu Yu's movement speed will be significantly faster than other foundation-building monks of the same level, and it will still be Liu Yu's strongest combat method.
In addition, Liu Yu also took the time to exchange some practical low-level spells from the Sutra Pavilion. These spells can actually be practiced in the middle and later stages of Qi training. They are not difficult to master. However, Liu Yu has not been free before and is busy melting blocked channels. , enhance the state of cultivation.
"Yue'er is back!"
At this time, a girl with a slender figure and light steps skipped out of the cave. She was the fourteenth year of Nian Fang. Two months ago, she reached the fourth level of Qi training. She passed the assessment of Chuyuan Hall and was admitted by Liu Yu. Liu Yuer became the only direct disciple.
"Master, you are here! Today Yue'er drew a "Floating Dust Talisman"!" Liu Yue'er quickly came to Liu Yu's side, her little nose turned up slightly, and she said crisply.
"Oh! Really?" Seeing Xiao Yue'er's expression of praising me, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile in her heart. Now it seems that her decision to send Xiao Yue'er to the "Holy Talisman Hall" was right. , the little girl does have a talent in this area.
When Liu Yu first practiced drawing talismans, it took him nearly a month to successfully draw the first "Floating Dust Talisman". At that time, Liu Yu's cultivation was already at the seventh level of Qi training.
As for the little girl who entered the "Holy Talisman Hall" as a Talisman disciple, she was only half a month old, and her cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi training. To be able to draw a "Floating Dust Talisman" in such a short period of time is obviously on the "One Talisman" His talent is much better than that of Liu Yu.
"Really, really, Uncle Chen is still praising Yue'er!" Seeing that Liu Yu didn't seem to believe it, Liu Yue'er hurriedly said.
Liu Yu has worked in the "Holy Talisman Hall" for many years and has some friendship with several deacons in the Talisman Making Branch. A few days ago, a large table was set up at "Zhenweizhai" and these people were invited there before Liu Yuer's Arranged to enter the Talisman Making Branch and became a little "talisman disciple".
The Master Chen that Liu Yue'er refers to is a deacon of the Talisman Making Branch of the "Holy Talisman Hall" and a high-level Talisman Master named Chen Yuanshan. Liu Yu has the deepest friendship with him. Liu Yue'er is now in charge of Chen Yuanshan. The painting team does odd jobs.
On weekdays, I help several talisman masters in the group, run errands, and learn the skills of drawing talisman.
"If Master doesn't believe it, Yue'er will draw a "Floating Dust Talisman" right now." Liu Yue'er was afraid that Liu Yu still didn't believe it, so she ran towards her stone room as she spoke.
Liu Yue'er's stone room has a table for drawing talisman, which Liu Yu bought for her. In addition to working as a talisman apprentice in the "Holy Talisman Hall" during the day, and occasionally drawing and writing simple talismans, Liu Yu would also find time when she returned to Xuanyu Cave. Instruct Liu Yue'er on the skills of drawing talisman, otherwise the little girl would not be able to master it so quickly.
Liu Yue'er sat behind the talisman painting table. First, she placed half of the "talisman water" left in yesterday's practice in an inkstone on the stone table and used her magic to warm it up. Then she spread out a piece of "pine wood talisman paper" and took out Liu Yue'er. The ordinary "green bamboo pen" given to her.
The little girl held the "Fire Crown Pen", straightened her figure, adjusted her breath, then lightly dipped the "talisman water", and wrote exquisite runes one by one on the rune paper with a focused look. Two-quarters of an hour later, from ten The "Floating Dust Talisman" composed of runes appeared on the rune paper.
For more than half a month, the little girl has worked very hard and practiced drawing and writing at least ten talismans every day. She has become very proficient in this "Floating Dust Talisman".
It stands to reason that Liu Yue'er has only reached the fourth level of Qi cultivation, and the living soul in the mud palace hole is weak, and the soul Qi is not enough to support her to draw ten "Floating Dust Talisman", but she can't resist the "Soul Clearing Liquid" in Liu Yu's hand. This is a secret medicine that nourishes the soul and quickly restores soul energy.
The writing of the "talisman" was completed, and the next step was to "inject the spirit". Liu Yue'er was seen making mudra with one hand, her fingertips pointed at the center of the "pine wood talisman paper" spread out on the stone table, and the magic power of her Dantian slowly followed the talisman veins. Injecting "runes", the talisman paper will emit a shimmering light.
After a few breaths, there was a "chi" sound, and the entire talisman paper burst into flames. In a blink of an eye, it was burned by the fire and turned into black ashes. Liu Yue'er frowned her slender eyebrows and was dumbfounded for a moment.
I was very puzzled. I had obviously made a "Floating Dust Talisman" today, why didn't it work now?
"Master, Yue'er must have been a little distracted just now. Yue'er draws another one, and this one will definitely work." The little girl was a little unable to get off the stage, so she said to Liu Yu who was watching and laughing, and then took out another "Pine Wood Talisman" paper" spread out.
"Yeah!" Liu Yu smiled without saying a word, poured himself a cup of tea, and the old god nodded thoughtfully.
"Yue'er didn't lie. I really made a "Floating Dust Talisman" in the Talisman Making Branch today. If Master doesn't believe it, you can ask Master Chen." Two quarters of an hour later, there was a burst of fire, and the "Pine Wood Talisman" was painted on "Paper" turned into black ash again, the little girl said anxiously.
"Okay! I naturally believe what Yue'er said, but just because you were lucky enough to draw a "Floating Dust Talisman" does not mean that you have fully mastered this talisman."
"To judge whether you can draw a certain kind of talisman, you look at the "talisman success rate." When you are given ten talisman papers and you can make six talismans, you are just getting started. You need more practice!" Liu Yu smiled. said.
"I understand, Master." Liu Yue'er lowered her head and said. She had seen these in the talisman book, but she was too eager to show them off in front of Master that she ignored them for a moment.
Later, Liu Yue'er continued to practice drawing talisman, while Liu Yu provided guidance, pointing out the imperfections in the spells and talisman lines, correcting the shortcomings, and asking Liu Yue'er to pay more attention when drawing and writing again. At the same time, he also taught some subtle techniques of drawing talisman. .
At this time, Zhang Tianci and Zhang Kexin closed the door of the "Yufu Tower" store, and then flew their swords to Huang Rifeng's Xuanyu Cave. When passing by the dining hall, they ordered a few hot dishes and put them in food boxes for the master and his junior sister. Take it with you, Master has been busy teaching the little junior sister how to draw talismans these days, and he doesn't even think about eating.
"Master, little junior sister, it's time to eat!" The two returned to Xuanyu Cave and put out the food in the food boxes. Zhang Kexin walked to the door of the stone chamber and said to Master and Disciple Liu Yu who was concentrating on drawing talismans.
"Eat something and write again later!" Seeing that Liu Yue'er had just finished drawing a complete spell, Liu Yu said.
"Sister Ke Xin, what good food do you have!" Liu Yue'er put down her talisman pen, rushed out of the stone room, came to Zhang Ke Xin's side, and called out affectionately.
"Here! These are all your favorites." Zhang Kexin pointed to a white and tender "tea fragrant jade tofu" and said
"Master!" After the four of them sat down, Zhang Kexin immediately filled a bowl of rice for Liu Yu and handed it to Liu Yu.
Over the years, Zhang Tianci, Zhang Kexin, and Wang Ping have all improved in their cultivation. Zhang Tianci and Wang Ping are at the eighth level of Qi training, and Zhang Kexin is at the seventh level of Qi training. As their cultivation levels increase, the demand for spiritual energy concentration during cultivation also increases. For this reason, Liu Yu asked the three of them to move to Xuanyu Cave House half a year ago.
Nowadays, there are six stone rooms in Xuanyu Cave, one for Liu Yu, one for Liu Yue'er, one for Tang Zhi, and one for Zhang Tianci and Zhang Kexin. I haven’t returned to my hometown to hold the wedding yet.
Wang Ping also moved into Xuanyu Cave Mansion for a month, but then moved back to Shuiyuanyuan in Junshui Peak. He said that the water aura around Shuiyuanyuan was more abundant, which was conducive to cultivation.
Liu Yu knew that this was just Wang Ping's excuse to move out. Xuanyu Cave was located in the middle of Huangrifeng. How could the depth of spiritual energy be inferior to that of Shuiyuanyuan? Although Suiyuan Temple is built on Junsu Peak, which is rich in water aura, it is only at the foot of the mountain and not on the top of the mountain.
As for the subtle relationship between Wang Ping, Zhang Tianci, and Zhang Kexin, Liu Yu, as a master, had already noticed that Zhang Tianci and Zhang Kexin were in love with each other, and everyone knew that they were a couple.
Wang Ping was a simple and honest person, and he grew up with the two of them. He naturally developed a love for Zhang Kexin, who was charming and sweet.
However, due to the friendship between the three of them, Wang Ping did not dare to speak out and could only hide it in his heart. However, from his meticulous words and deeds towards Zhang Ke, people with a discerning eye could still tell something.
Presumably even Zhang Tianci and Zhang Kexin knew it, but they just didn't point it out.
In order to consider Wang Ping's feelings, Zhang Tianci and Zhang Kexin repeatedly postponed their family's urgings. The Zhang family often received letters urging them to return to their hometown in Tianping County to get married, have children as soon as possible, and open up branches for the Zhang family.
Therefore, Liu Yu did not dissuade Wang Ping from moving out of Xuanyu Cave. The three of them were really not suitable to live under the same roof. Seeing Zhang Tianci and Zhang Kexin in the team every day must have been heartbreaking for Wang Ping.
"Master, we sold three fourth-grade "Qi Shield Talisman" in the store today!" While the four of them were eating, Zhang Kexin thought of the business in the store today and said excitedly.
"Oh! Who bought it?" Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. He usually doesn't sell one piece, so why did he sell three pieces today?
After several years of practice, Liu Yu has initially mastered the drawing skills of the fourth-grade "Air Shield Talisman" and "Amulet", with a success rate of 70%. A fourth-grade "Air Shield Talisman" sells for 5,800 in the store. Although the average profit is not much for a low-level spiritual stone, one can earn nearly 500 low-level spiritual stones.
I originally thought that the income of Yufu Tower would increase a lot, but it backfired. The store's monthly net income was only a few spiritual stones.
Firstly, because there are very few customers to buy fourth-grade spiritual talismans, Qi training disciples cannot afford them, and the foundation-building disciples within the sect do not need to purchase spiritual talismans for protection. Secondly, the quality of the fourth-grade talismans drawn by Liu Yu was not outstanding and could not compare with those century-old shops, so he could not sell a few pieces every month.
On the contrary, Beiluancheng's "Qingyan Tuan" stall in Wuhu Square helps sell a lot every month. Otherwise, Liu Yu would not be able to recover even the amount of spiritual stones he consumed in order to practice this talisman.
You are right to think about it. There are many casual cultivators in Beiluan City, fish and dragons are mixed together. In the vast mountains of the Black and White Mountains, fights and killings are happening all the time. Naturally, there are many tourists, and there is a huge demand for this kind of defensive charms.
"A middle-aged Taoist, he doesn't look like a senior in the sect. He should be a casual cultivator or a member of a certain family." Zhang Tianci thought for a while and replied.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Pu sent someone today to tell them that their cargo ship from Bai Xinglin will arrive tomorrow and will stay in Liuxian Town for two days before setting sail back to Beiluan City." Zhang Tianci remembered something important and continued hurriedly.
"Master, I know. It's a gift from God. After I leave, you should keep an eye on the store. You can make the decision on all matters. If you are in trouble, you can go to your "Uncle Xuanhan" for help." Liu Yu put down the bowl. Chopsticks, he said solemnly.
After another five years of hard training, there was still no progress in the "Tianshi Mantra·Taohun Heart Sutra", which exhausted Liu Yu's patience. After repeated inquiries, the "Five Bloody Lands" in the Black and White Mountains outside Beiluan City should be It is "Gang Sha Tai Chi Hua Yuan Shu" that mentions the potential origin of one of the two innate true qi, "Primary Yin Sha Qi".
Liu Yu plans to take Bai Xinglin's cargo ship and personally go to Beiluan City to explore the "Five Blood Lands" to see if the news is true. If there is anything gained from this trip, he will not return to Huangsheng Mountain to refine blood in Shengfu Hall in the short term. Liu Yu resigned from the position of deacon the day before yesterday.
"I understand, Master!" Zhang Tianci solemnly replied.
"Yeah!" Among his four disciples, Zhang Tianci was the most clever and prudent. After Liu Yu left, the Jade Talisman Building was handed over to Zhang Tianci to take care of.
"Master, it's so fast!" Liu Yuer said worriedly when she heard that Liu Yu was going to Beiluan City in a few days.
"Yue'er! I'm here to leave you a few talisman books. One of them contains some talisman drawing experiences recorded by me. You need to read more, learn more, and don't slack off. You must practice at least eight talismans every day. , did you hear clearly?" Liu Yu said with a straight face.
"Yue'er will practice diligently, Master, don't worry!" Liu Yue'er said with red eyes.
"Yes! I have drawn a batch of magic charms for my teacher and stored them in the warehouse on the second floor. The sales volume of the store is about three months."
"When my master arrives in Beiluan City, a batch of spiritual talismans will be sent back through Baixinglin every two months for sale in the store. Godsend, when the spiritual talismans arrive, you can go pick them up. I have already said hello to shopkeeper Pu. Yes." Liu Yu nodded and continued.
"I understand, Master!" Zhang Tianci nodded in response.
"In addition, if there is an urgent shortage of some kind of talisman in the store, Yue'er, you can explain to your Master Chen that he will help draw it. I have already told Brother Chen." Liu Yu then warned.
"Yue'er knows!" Liu Yue'er nodded hurriedly.
