"Arrogant!"
The third-level talisman master Fan Yuanhui couldn't help but scolded: "Boy, Fan knows that you made a few third-level talismans by luck, but you don't want to talk nonsense! Thirty-five third-level talismans will be made into 16 third-level talismans. , it’s not impossible to do it in normal times, but do you know how long it will take? Can the current situation of sitting on Wangpo give us time to make the formation talisman calmly? "
Facing Fan Yuanhui's scolding and questioning, Shang Xia looked calm and relaxed. After he finished speaking, he smiled lightly and said: "It is naturally difficult for two people to make sixteen talismans in a short time, but it is difficult for two people to make them. Isn’t there still Shang now?”
"you?"
Fan Yuanhui sneered and looked dismissive, not even bothering to speak again.
On the other hand, Gong Hang next to him said: "The bravery and diligence of young people is certainly worthy of recognition, but it also needs to be based on reality. It is not difficult for a third-level talisman master to make a third-level talisman. If you are lucky, it may not even take as long as long."
"But the real problem is not that the formation talisman is successfully made, but how many times it fails before it is made, how much one's own vitality is lost, and how long it takes to recover; how much one's own martial arts will is lost, and how long it takes to recover; even if one's vitality and martial arts are lost, My will has been restored, can I still maintain my original state?"
"Besides, in such a large-volume and highly intensive production process of third-level talismans, the talisman master does not have much time to restore the state to the best every time. However, in this state, he still needs to maintain the ability to make talismans. The difficulty of success can be imagined!”
Speaking of this, Gong Hang couldn't help but look at Shang Xia and said earnestly: "After all, the production of every third-level talisman is a kind of harm to the third-level talisman master himself when it separates a ray of martial arts will from the third-level talisman master! "
Although Gong Hang did not rebuke as mercilessly as Fan Yuanhui, his sincere persuasion was full of preaching tone, treating Shang Xia as a stupid young man who had no idea of the heights of the world.
Even though Zhang Haogu is knowledgeable and knowledgeable in making talismans, he is not a talisman maker after all. He saw two third-level talisman masters speaking out to dissuade Shang Xia from making third-level talismans. Even though he There are still doubts in my heart, and I have to consider their opinions at this time.
At this time, a chuckle was heard, and Shang Xia's voice came immediately: "Why don't you two give Shang a chance? With six talisman papers, Shang took out three intact third-order talismans. If you do If not, Shang will pay for these six talismans himself, how about that?"
"Young Master Shang really want to give it a try?"
Gong Hang looked thoughtful. Although he didn't want Shang Xia to start making the third-level formation talisman, he didn't want to offend this person too much.
Moreover, Gong Hang still has some friendship with Shang Ke, and he helped Shang Ke make two third-level air-splitting gun talismans.
On the contrary, Fan Yuanhang next to him snorted coldly and said: "Just let him do it. With the merchant's background, it is not difficult to come up with six third-level talismans. I just want him to give up."
Gong Hang secretly sighed, stretched out his hand to the side, and said: "Since you insist on trying, please come here! It's just that time is tight. If you are really qualified to participate, these three formation talismans can only be Made in a month.”
Shang Xia was led by Gong Hang to the door of a talisman-making secret room built of logs.
"This was originally the secret room where I used to make talismans. It is complete with everything needed to make talismans. Of course, the various tools for making talismans vary from person to person. If Mr. Shang has something he is used to, just use his own. If you have any additional needs, just ask them and I can notify other craftsmen to prepare them."
After Gong Hang opened the door to the secret room, he led Shang Xia on a tour and said.
Shang Xia took a general look and said with a smile: "They are all complete. At least they are much better than the conditions Shang used to make the talismans. If there is nothing wrong, Shang can start now."
Gong Hang was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Shang Xia would be so straightforward, so he gave a few casual instructions and walked out of the secret room.
Seeing that the door of the secret room was slowly closing, and the various bans inside were activated one by one, Zhang Haogu frowned and asked, "How many third-order talismans do you think Shang Xia can make this time?"
Gong Hang sighed slightly and said: "I want Mr. Zhang to know that it is not that the two of us deliberately embarrass this young master Shang. It is actually because the situation is urgent now and it is not the time to waste resources on cultivating rising stars."
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "I think this Mr. Shang is quite confident. Maybe he can really come up with three formation talismans within a month."
Gong Hang smiled and shook his head and said: "Actually, let alone three formation talismans, even if Mr. Shang can come up with two, I will consider letting him participate in the production of third-level formation talismans. After all, a total of forty-nine third-order talismans are needed to set up the talisman array at Zuowangpo."
"Two? If he can make one, Fan will be impressed by him!"
Fan Yuanhui said with a hint of ridicule: "Fortunately, even if he can't make one this time, it won't slow down our progress. After all, the six third-level talisman papers will not be wasted. If he can really make one, we On the contrary, you will gain something.”
"It's just this talisman-making secret room..."
Gong Hang smiled and said: "The secret room is easy to talk about. We can build another one within three days. This one should be given to Mr. Shang. In any case, he can be regarded as a third-level Talisman Master. It just so happens that these few days Mr. Ri also needs to restore his divided martial arts will as necessary, and there will be no delay."
…………
After Gong Hang and others exited the secret room, Shang Xia carefully looked at all the furnishings here, and then began to prepare for the production of the third-order formation talisman.
As several low-level talismans were activated, the restrictions in the secret room were immediately opened, which prevented Shang Xia from being accidentally disturbed during the process of making talismans.
Although Shang Xia had never made third-level talismans with his own hands, among the six third-level talisman inheritance in the "Zhu's Talisman Sutra", one of them was the inheritance of third-level talismans, and he had been thinking about it for a long time.
Of course, although the layout of the talisman array lies in the core of the array, this does not mean that the array talisman is the same layer.
On the contrary, the talisman usually changes due to the different talisman arrays arranged, but this change is not an essential change.
Although different formation talismans are somewhat difficult for the talisman master, as long as there are no fundamental changes, it is not a brand new attempt for the talisman master.
Therefore, although the template for the third-level formation talisman provided by Futang is different from what is recorded in Zhu's Talisman Scripture, it still leads to the same goal through different paths, which is not difficult for Shang Xia.
And just as Shang Xia said to Zhang Haogu and others before, the difficulty of making the third-level formation talisman is actually the easiest compared to other third-level martial talismans.
This is actually one of the reasons why Shang Xia dared to boast about Haikou since it was the first time they made a third-level formation talisman.
On the smooth and neat jade talisman stand, a talisman pen of medium quality is hung on the pen holder.
This talisman pen was obviously used by Gong Hang. Although the quality was higher than the Feihong pen used by Shang Xia, he did not intend to use this talisman pen that was as good as a mid-grade sharp weapon.
It takes time to adapt to the use of a new talisman pen, and Shang Xia has to make three talismans within a month. Obviously, there is not much time to waste. Therefore, it is impossible for Shang Xia to rely on the quality of a pen.
For slightly taller talisman pens, I gave up the usual Feihong pen.
The six third-level talisman papers are also made of the most common and cheapest materials.
An inkstone that helps regulate vitality and protect the talisman pen.
A piece of specially made pine smoke ink stone surprised Shang Xia. After grinding it, he could obtain third-level talisman ink, which gave him even more confidence in the production of talismans.
In addition, there are some auxiliary items that may be used in the process of making talismans.
All in all, the talisman-making secret room given over by Talisman Master Gong Hang was fully equipped with all the utensils. It was even somewhat beyond Shang Xia's expectations. At least there was no sign of any trouble on the part of the other party.
But...
Shang Xia looked at the incense burner placed not far from the jade talisman stand. The quality of the incense inside was somewhat unsatisfactory.
He took out a jade box from the Jinyun Box, opened it, picked out a piece of incense of suitable size and placed it in the incense burner.
This is the Shou Yi Incense made by Shang Xia according to the formula given by the Sifang Monument. It was originally an auxiliary medicine used by him when he advanced to the Three Talents Realm.
However, Shang Xia discovered that this kind of Shouyixiang has the effect of calming the mind and calming the energy not only during the advanced process, but also during daily meditation practice and the process of making talismans, and the effect is excellent.
It's just that the original Shouyi incense is a stick incense, and several of the raw materials are valuable, so it's not easy to make, and it makes it even more painful to use.
After improvements, several valuable raw materials were replaced and the production process was simplified. Although the effect is reduced a lot during use, it is better than being able to be used for a long time.
In fact, after Shang Xia handed over the simplified formula to Shang Quan, Shang Quan regarded it as a financial source that the family was ready to develop in the next step. Now it is hoarding while producing, while further simplifying the formula and gradually dividing it into grades. .
Shang Xia was naturally one of the first users, and they used the best quality incense that could be produced in batches.
After lighting the Shou Yi Incense, the secret room suddenly had a peaceful and distant atmosphere.
Shang Xia added a little of the spiritual spring from a gourd to the inkstone, and immediately a slightly thin but extremely pure vitality rose up in the inkstone.
"Huh?"
Shang Xia's face showed a strange light, it was actually diluted spiritual spring.
I just don’t know where the dilute spiritual spring water used by Futang to grind ink comes from. Is it the spiritual spring water that has been inexhaustible for hundreds of years?
The latter is one of the adjuvants required for Shang Xia's Four Symbol Realm advanced formula.
It seems that after successfully making the talisman this time, I have to find out where the spiritual spring water comes from from Mr. Zhang.
This thought just flashed through Shang Xia's mind, but he did not stop grinding the ink on his hands.
Through the process of grinding ink, Shang Xia gradually adjusted his condition to the best, while constantly trying to figure out the talisman template on the jade talisman table.
After grinding the third-level pine smoke talisman ink, Shang Xia felt that his origin and martial arts will were all adjusted to the best, so he tapped the talisman ink with the Feihong pen and focused all his attention on the tip of the pen. Amidst the curls of green smoke and burning incense, he was counting something with his fingers and mumbling something while he was already writing on a piece of talisman paper.
Gradually, the curling smoke, the pinching fingers, the squirming lips, and the darting strokes of the symbols fell into a mysterious rhythm.
The feeling that this rhythm brings to Shang Xia is not unfamiliar. It is very similar to the state of inspiration that he accidentally fell into during the process of making third-level martial talismans.
