The next day, there were only three apprentices, including Ye Xing, learning to draw talismans with a formal disciple named Xiao Zong. The other apprentice who was coming did not show up, so he probably wouldn't come.
Ye Xing was new here, so Xiao Zong asked Ye Xing to copy the simplest runes, while he asked the two apprentices to learn more advanced runes.
Runes are very much like words, but they look messy and twisted, just like a child's graffiti. Runes are actually not words, but a way to store and release infuriating energy.
Generally speaking, runes have little to do with the spiritual root of the maker, but they do have a relationship. It only matters a lot when making high-level runes.
For example, Ye Xing is shown to be a monk with wood spiritual roots. Although he can learn all runes, he can only make talisman with wood attribute, because after making the talisman, he has to fill it with the infuriating energy of the corresponding attribute to truly succeed. .
A person with the wood attribute can also refine the fire attribute talisman, but he cannot fill the talisman with the fire attribute's true energy. Therefore, the general talisman maker only refines the talisman, but does not input the true energy. Pre-entered by the user themselves.
Some talismans require the combination of multiple attributes of infuriating energy to work. Such advanced talismans generally require the cooperation of multiple people to make them, because most of the time, a person only has one type of spiritual root attribute of infuriating energy. for the sake of.
The learning of runes does not distinguish between attributes. You only need to learn their drawing methods and the principles of the movement of Qi represented by these drawing methods. You can draw any type of runes, but you may not be able to make the corresponding talismans.
On the first day, Ye Xing spent a whole day drawing, using a brush to copy the runes on pieces of white paper, just one rune. He practiced it more than a thousand times, but he was still not very proficient. In order not to waste paper, Ye Xing later Painted on the ground.
Every time you practice, you have to concentrate all your attention to study all the details, and then imitate it. This process is actually very tiring and consuming, and this is just the simplest rune.
According to Xiao Zong, there can be countless runes, but the simple basic runes are 108, and the complex runes are actually combinations or variants of simple runes.
In other words, the combination of 108 simple runes can design countless combinations, and then produce countless changes. Therefore, the runes are actually a set of methods for running, preserving, and stimulating combinations of infuriating energy.
Ye Xing only practiced a simple wood spirit instant stimulation talisman. He practiced it for one day and more than a thousand times. Finally, he actually drew it on a piece of inferior talisman paper and filled the drawn rune with wood spirit. The true energy can be released instantly after being stimulated, which can produce a small range of high-concentration wood spiritual energy.
Not only wood spiritual energy, but any spiritual energy is the same. Fire spiritual energy can deflagrate, which essentially uses spiritual energy to produce high temperatures in a short period of time. If it is ice spiritual energy, it will produce extremely cold low temperatures. Earth spiritual energy will be stimulated in a short time and in a small area. The heavy breath of the earth.
All kinds of rune drawing methods look similar, but the runes used by each type of spiritual energy still have major differences in details, and the rune paper, rune ink, and rune pens used are also different.
Now that Ye Xing has a wood attribute, of course he needs to draw a wood instant stimulating talisman. Once the wood instant activating talisman is activated, he can instantly produce a high concentration of wood spiritual energy in a small area. For a wood cultivator, it is equivalent to increasing his cultivation level.
In addition to the talisman ink, you also need a talisman pen, talisman paper, and runes. Finally, you need to fill it with the corresponding spiritual energy, and stimulate it when using it. Refining talisman is really a very troublesome process, and the mental ability is huge. test.
Ye Xing just practicing runes on white paper and the ground will not have any effect. It is just a learning process to understand the runes. Real runes must be drawn on special rune paper with rune ink.
Talisman paper, talisman ink, and talisman pens all need to be made from the skin, blood, and hair of spiritual animals. In fact, they are really expensive things. There is really no need for such luxury when practicing runes.
In the next twenty days, each rune diagram will be practiced thousands of times a day. He is afraid that he will forget what he learned earlier and has to keep reviewing all the previous exercises. Ye Xing feels that the practice process is very interesting.
Ye Xing's memory is extremely good. There is only one reason why he has to practice thousands of times, that is, practice makes perfect. Others have memorized the runes. He wants to be proficient and deduce all the details in the process of practice.
Ye Xing himself is a person with all the five elements attributes, so to learn one, he has to master 5 changes immediately. For some runes that can be mixed with multiple kinds of infuriating energy, he has to consider dozens or hundreds of changes.
Ye Xing's study is different from others. He came here to thoroughly master all the knowledge and skills of all talismans. In fact, he has figured out every basic talisman through his own practice and deduced all the skills to perfection. .
Borrowing a copy of "Rune Comprehensive Interpretation" from Xiao Zong, he studied and practiced at the same time. After twenty days of study, Ye Xing completely mastered the basic skills of runes, and began to learn more rune knowledge on his own that went beyond books. .
A month later, Ye Xing has learned all 108 basic runes in the book. Not only can he draw them skillfully and accurately, but he also understands every detail. Unlike others, he can also understand the details of the runes under the five aura attributes. Everything is clear and transparent.
The reason why he learned so quickly in the second half of the month was because he used his magical brain. The previous basic training made his hands extremely flexible. After he mastered the meaning of the runes, he could speed up his learning. What's more important was that he had basic skills. No need to rest, just practice and figure it out day and night.
At the end of the month, two apprentices who had been here for three months were taking the entrance examination, and Ye Xing was watching.
The assessment is actually very difficult. It means randomly picking six of the 108 basic runes, giving them real rune paper, rune ink, and rune pens, refining them on the spot, filling them with their own corresponding spiritual energy, and immediately demonstrating the effect. Only after all are successful can it be considered entry-level.
The practice of drawing runes is only part of the content. In fact, there is other knowledge, which is the inflating and sealing of runes that Ye Xing has not yet come into contact with. This is to fill the drawn runes with the corresponding infuriating energy, and then set the solid seal. The sealing formation method prevents the true energy from being lost.
Ye Xing carefully observed the two people's refining, and repeatedly deduced and imitated it in his mind. The setting of the solid spirit array was not very complicated, but it still required learning. Ye Xing learned it while watching.
Ye Xing's formation level is already very high, and he has already reached the master level. He has never been exposed to the Solid Spirit Formation before, but now that he has taken a look at it, he immediately understands that it is actually just a variant of the Hidden Spirit Formation.
In addition to the solid spirit array, there is also a trigger array. Generally, spiritual consciousness is used to stimulate the infuriating energy stored in the talisman. When used, the talisman can be activated as soon as the spiritual consciousness triggers the array.
The two apprentices learned the basics of runes in the first two months, and the two formation settings in the next month. Then there were more than ten real trial productions, and then they had to take the exam. For ordinary people, the difficulty is actually very high, and The whole three months was still very boring.
The assessment of the two apprentices lasted for six days. A basic talisman was randomly selected every day. All must be passed to be considered successful. Ye Xing watched, but his mind was constantly full of simulations and deductions. He did not need to learn at all, and he had already completely mastered it. Master it and derive more efficient methods.
Six days later, the results came out. One person failed to pass the assessment, while the other barely passed and became the first official disciple of Tianfu Sect in the past ten years.
This disciple named Li Yun has a handsome appearance, studies hard, and has a good mind. He is a scholar, but his hands and feet are not very flexible, but he is already a rare talent. At least he is really interested and willing to work hard to learn the system. The art of talismans.
Ye Xing had a lot of contact with the two apprentices during this period, and learned a lot. He also watched the two people's trial production process for six consecutive days. Now he understands and masters all the details of the 108 basic runes. Practical trial production started.
Li Yun is also a child of a declining family. He has good cultivation aptitude, but his family cannot afford to pay the high fees to participate in the selection of a large sect, so he came to Tianfu Sect to learn a craft.
In the Tang Empire, rune master was actually a noble profession, but it was difficult to master refining talismans, especially high-level talismans. However, if you learned how to become a rune master, you could at least have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. .
Intermediate and high-level talismans are extremely difficult to refine, because the talisman master itself requires a very high level of cultivation, but the cultivation level of these people in the Tianfu Sect is extremely low, which is really inconsistent with the Wannian Sect.
The Wannian Sect may be boasting, but in terms of the training techniques for making talismans, it is still extremely rigorous.
