Seeing the void in the direction of Kou Chongxue's departure closing again, Shang Xia couldn't help but smile.
In fact, although Yuanfeng Tianyu is currently moving away from the Four Yuan Tianyu, the distance from the original Xingyuan Dojo in the void is still within the range that can be blessed by the power of the Tianyu World.
In other words, even if Shang Xia leaves Yuanfeng Heavenly Territory now, Kou Chongxue can travel between the original Xingyuan Dojo and Yuanfeng Heavenly Territory at any time, and it has little to do with whether Shang Xia needs to be in charge personally.
Because there was no news about the production of seventh-level talisman paper from Ren Huan, Shang Xia felt a little idle for a while.
Of course, it is not that he has nothing to do. In fact, today's Tongyou Academy, as well as all the major and small forces in the entire Yuanfeng Realm, basically all warriors with a little ambition to make progress are busy at this time.
It's just like Tongyou Academy. Although it looks busy up and down, the actual mountain is busy and orderly, and almost everyone can perform their duties.
In this way, Shang Xia, a special existence that was always outside the academy system, seemed a little out of place.
Shang Xia carefully thought about the places where the academy might use him. The first was the large star ark and spirit-level ark being built at the Void Shipyard. However, Chu Jia was stationed there, and he had already dispatched a The original incarnation naturally does not need to let the real body go forward.
As for patrolling the edge of the Tianyu world, it was also handed over to another origin incarnation.
The other place where he might be used is of course in the Talisman Hall. He could start a lecture on Talismanism, which would inevitably cause a sensation in the entire Yuanfeng world, and even the entire Tianyu world, and then set off a commotion in Tongyou City. A grand gathering of talisman masters.
But he was obviously too lazy to do anything unless necessary.
As for continuing to make talismans in seclusion, he has just exhausted the reserves of talismans above the sixth level in Futang. As for the talismans below the sixth level, he has no interest at all.
In addition, there is another major event, which is about the construction of a secret dojo in Youzhou.
Originally, there were differences between Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue because of Youzhou and Jiaozhou regarding the location of the secret realm of the dojo.
But as the original true spirit of Shang Xia was recovered from the Yuanhai of Youzhou, the location for building the secret realm of the ashram was naturally determined, and it was in Youzhou.
As for the mode of opening the dojo, we will choose a safer method and will upgrade it based on the secret realm of Tongyou Cave.
This is the plan that Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue finally decided on after considering the opinions of all parties, as well as the suggestions of masters from other regions such as Su Chi, Gao Qin, Zhuo Gudao, Jin Shangzun, etc.
As for the completion of the promotion of Tongyou Cave Heaven to the Taoist Secret Realm, there will be one more spot in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm in Yuanfeng Realm. Tongyou Academy does not plan to occupy it anymore, but will let other sect forces compete.
Speaking of the number of caves and secret realms, it has been fourteen years since Yuanfeng Realm was promoted. The original nine caves and secret realms have also increased to eleven. Among them, the Tongyou Academy family occupies the two caves of Tongyou and Wuzhucheng.
However, regarding the upgrade of the Dongtian Secret Realm to the Dojo Secret Realm, Tongyou Academy is currently only in the preliminary preparation period for materials.
Although the dojo of Tongyou Academy is built on the basis of Tongyou Cave, which can save a lot of material resources, even so, the material resources required to prepare are still a huge number.
At the same time, Tongyou Academy also needs to take into account the continued improvement of the Tianyu world system, the construction of large and giant star arks, and the spiritual and Yuan level arks. The raising and distribution of high-level resources are already stretched.
If Tongyou Academy and Yuanfengjie do not intend to catch all the resources like Yuanhong Tianyu, it is destined that the construction of the secret realm of Tongyou Dojo will be a long-term process.
Under the circumstances that the academy and Yuanfeng Realm were steadily advancing various affairs that did not require his intervention, the seventh-level master of Shang Xia suddenly found that he seemed to have no place to use himself.
Without disturbing others, Shang Xia quietly returned to the top floor of Fu Tower again.
But it was not for the purpose of making talismans, and he had no interest in making talismans at this time, but he suddenly remembered something, something that only he should be able to do.
That is the art of making talismans!
It is said that since Shang Xia successfully produced the fifth-level talisman, he has never paid attention to the production of talismans for so many years, has never made other talismans with his own hands, and has never thought about upgrading the talisman to the sixth level. possibility.
Now that he has a little free time, Shang Xia feels that he should perhaps consider the feasibility of making a sixth-level talisman.
Then he used the materials stored in the Talisman Tower to practice his skills, and after making a few talismans to restore his hand feel, Shang Xia began to design the seal surface of the sixth-level talisman, as well as the high-level spiritual materials that might be suitable.
However, as soon as he started, Shang Xia realized a very serious problem.
Different from the fifth-level talisman, the sixth-level talisman needs to be controlled by the warrior holding the seal with his own original energy when used. A very important factor in the process of control is the warrior's original true spirit, and the original spirit The true spirit is an important symbol of the sixth-level warrior.
In other words, if you want to place a sixth-level talisman directly on the talisman paper, then the person holding the seal must first reach the martial arts realm!
But in this way, the scope and group of uses of the talisman are greatly limited.
What's more, if the sixth-level sigil can only be used by sixth-level warriors, then the significance of the sigil's existence will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
After all, the direct purpose of the talisman is to quickly and directly make martial talismans, and the martial talisman itself is an important means for warriors to cross-level challenges and weaken the enemy.
Once the sixth-level talisman can only be used by sixth-level warriors, then the sixth-level talisman will completely lose its meaning for mid-to-high-level warriors such as fourth-level and fifth-level warriors.
In addition, there is a very important point, that is, the original true spirit itself is extremely exclusive.
If a sixth-level talisman is successfully made, and after being used by a sixth-level real person, is infected by its original true spirit, then if this sigil wants to be used by another sixth-level real person, it will most likely be It cannot be used because the old and new true spirits are mutually exclusive.
This further limits the universality of the talisman among warriors.
"It's too early to think about this now. For now, we should first make the sixth-level talisman before talking about anything else!"
Shang Xia patted his forehead and felt that he was really too ambitious.
At present, he has not been able to successfully produce even one sample, so he has begun to think about the applicability of the sixth-level sigil.
When making the new grade talisman for the first time, Shang Xia still adhered to past experience, making it easy first and then difficult.
Among the more than twenty sixth-order talismans that he currently mastered, Shang Xia simply chose to start engraving from the simplest and most basic sixth-order talismans this time.
Although the talisman produced in this way is a huge waste even if it is successful by chance.
But he needs to make the first level six talisman before counting.
But he was stuck in a deadlock at the beginning - he couldn't find the sixth-level spiritual material suitable for sigil carving!
Most of the cutting stone that originally prompted Shang Xia to come up with the idea of making talismans has long been used up. Although there are still a few core materials left, the material itself is not enough to carry the sixth-level talisman, even if it is only a sixth-level martial talisman. The simplest formation symbol among them.
After that, Shang Xia selected several sixth-level spiritual materials to try, but all ended in failure without exception, wasting many high-level spiritual materials.
And just when Shang Xia was at a loss for a while, Ren Huan suddenly received news that the piece of star-swallowing silk he used to make talisman paper finally turned into four talismans, which was pretty good!
It was only then that Shang Xia became alert. He was constantly experimenting with spiritual materials that might be used to make sixth-level talismans on the top floor of the Talisman Tower. Unknowingly, more than two months had passed.
Shang Xia immediately put aside his research on the sixth-level talisman. After Ren Huan sent the four Star-Swallowing Silk Talisman papers, he immediately began preparations for the production of the "Exhaust Fire Talisman".
Strictly speaking, four seventh-level talisman papers are not enough.
Shang Xia thought about it for a while. This time he first needed a "Salvation Fire Talisman" to verify his previous guesses. Secondly, he needed at least one to try to break through to the fifth level of the seventh level. Finally, he needed another one. As a talisman, it is nourished in the source sea to prepare for the future.
With such a rough calculation, he needs at least three "Salvation Fire Talismans" to achieve his goal.
However, he currently only has four seventh-level talisman papers, and the possibility of obtaining three talismans in one fell swoop is extremely slim.
"We can only hope that the talisman paper made of Star Swallowing Silk has a natural fit with its own Beidou Star Origin Qi. This may help to increase the rate of talisman formation, and the final talisman formation effect should be better than The one before."
Shang Xia dipped the holy talisman pen in the inkstone into the seventh-level talisman ink mixed with a few drops of his own essence and blood. After holding his breath and concentrating, he began to draw the beginning of the martial talisman.
Having made this talisman three times before and successfully once, Shang Xia started making this talisman again after a few months and seemed to be much more familiar with it.
Moreover, during the process of drawing rune patterns, Shang Xia could clearly detect the compatibility between his own Beidou Star Origin Qi, rune paper, and rune ink. This made him much smoother in the process of writing, and he had greater control over the drawing of rune lines. There is also a significant improvement.
But despite this, when Shang Xia completed about 70 to 80% of the talisman drawings of this talisman, in the end, due to a small mistake, a gap in the source energy was formed between the several talisman patterns drawn before. The resonance linkage is almost equivalent to completing the activation of part of the talisman patterns before the talisman is completed, causing the talisman paper carrying the martial talisman to tear immediately.
Fortunately, Shang Xia responded in time, and the collapsed martial talisman did not cause large-scale damage, or cause large-scale celestial phenomena in the academy like the previous times.
However, this failure not only did not make Shang Xia feel depressed, but gave him unprecedented confidence.
After a little cultivation, Shang Xia immediately started the second production of the "Xinjinhuo Chuan Talisman" and successfully completed it almost in one go.
Some people died, but not completely...
