Chapter 15 Learning to Draw Talisman
The most painful thing in the world is to recognize yourself!
Li Su is experiencing this painful self-recognition.
"I'm a loser in magic!"
Maybe it's his talent, maybe he has poor understanding, maybe it's the scientific thinking mode in his previous life that interferes with Li Su's understanding of this kind of magic that goes against his will.
Now that he has an accurate understanding of himself, Li Su has to face another more serious problem.
"What if I can't fight?"
Spells are the main combat power of monks during the Qi training period.
Also auxiliary are talismans and magic weapons.
However, in the early stage of mortals, the destructive power of spells is still very strong. Basically every monk who appears will cast two spells first.
In the later stage, the surviving monks all learned to "set shields", and then the battle between the two parties depended on which magic weapon and talisman was more powerful.
"Ruined."
Li Su was a little desperate.
"Am I a weakling who can't be beaten?"
And being unable to fight in the world of cultivation means that life is no longer guaranteed...
Originally, Li Su had just felt a little sense of security, but she was stimulated by this naked reality and suffered a PTSD attack.
"I need talismans and magic weapons!"
Li Su is ready to pile up equipment and scrolls for himself.
However, if we purchase a large number of magical artifacts and talismans from outside, wouldn't we be nakedly saying to the monks in the city: I have a lot of spiritual stones, come here quickly!
"I want to learn to refine weapons and draw talismans myself..."
For Han Yunzhi's extravagant study of various cultivation arts, for Li Su it was just a small effort.
Because the Tiannan cultivation world is far less sensitive to spiritual beast materials than rare medicinal materials.
There is a different concept between a person taking out a piece of material for a third-level monster and a person taking out a thousand-year elixir!
A third-level monster material means a powerful monster that can compete with the late stage of foundation building.
The one who can kill this kind of monster must be a real Jindan or a strong person in the foundation building stage.
Even if the monk who takes out this kind of material to refine treasures and sell them has only a small period of Qi training, it means that there may be a golden elixir boss behind this person.
And one person took out a thousand-year-old elixir...
Did this person dig into the ancient monk’s cave medicine garden?
Most buyers will immediately think this way.
"So, when Old Devil Han sold the thousand-year-old elixir, he was really dancing on his grave..."
It would be difficult for the thousand-year-old elixir to escape from the hands of the Yuanying old monster, let alone give the elixir to disciples with low cultivation levels.
Older elixirs can improve one's cultivation and are rare for high-level monks, but they are different from dispensable items such as demonic beast spiritual materials!
"Learn to refine medicine, learn to refine weapons, and learn to draw talismans."
Li Su planned to learn the three arts of elixir, weapon, and talisman cultivation first.
If there is an opportunity in the future, Li Su would like to get involved in puppets, formations, spiritual beasts, planting, and spiritual meals.
Isn’t it overwhelming to have so many arts?
"There is no method of refining the inner elixir of monsters in Tiannan, but the method of refining the inner elixir of monsters is popular in Luan Xinghai."
"It seems I have to prepare in advance..."
Li Su found that he had another reason to go to Chaos Xinghai.
…
After a few days.
After Xiaohan Yunzhi got acquainted with Li Su, he would come over every day to eat and drink, and he would teach Li Su how to practice magic. However, Li Su's magic talent was really worrying, and he could barely use the Sky Eye Technique smoothly, and the Wind Control Technique took ten years. times, there are always three or four failures.
This day.
"You want to learn how to draw talismans?"
Xiaohan Yunzhi frowned in distress when he heard this, and scratched the two little knots on the top of his head.
"Yes, I heard from your brother that you can draw talismans!"
"But I only know seven or eight kinds of talismans!"
Han Yunzhi waved her hands shyly.
"It's not like I can draw talismans at all."
Li Su fell silent upon hearing this.
I couldn't help but think of the "Detailed Explanation of Talismans and Seal Scripts" I drew last night. There were at least two hundred pieces of talisman paper that were scrapped, right?
"Then can you give me some advice?"
"Well……"
Facing the request, Han Yunzhi wrinkled her face and thought for a while, then nodded seriously.
"Then let's talk about it, shall we?"
"good!"
Li Su took out the 'equipment'.
A writing brush made of a white bone pole. This is the shin bone of a quite extraordinary demon wolf. The writing brush is also made from the selected tail wolf hair of this wind wolf...
A trace of envy flashed in Han Yunzhi's eyes.
The talisman pen she uses is a golden talisman pen passed down by the elders in her family. It is said that it has a calming effect when drawing talismans.
"What kind of talisman is this?"
Han Yunzhi touched the talisman paper curiously. It was quite different from the talisman paper she usually used.
"Is this a talisman made of monster fur?"
"Yes, this is a talisman made by cutting out the fur of a gale wolf."
"Wow, the talisman made from the fur of monsters should be regarded as the best talisman among all the talisman."
Han Yunzhi pinched the paper and praised.
In the early years, most of the talisman and seal techniques in the mortal world were carried on skins and bones. Later, with the gradual increase in the number of immortal cultivators and the discovery and development of papermaking, a large part of the talisman and seal techniques were transformed. It’s a paper talisman.
"Okay, where's Lingmo?"
Han Yunzhi gathered her mood and asked.
"here!"
Li Su took out a box of ink.
Han Yunzhi sniffed the ink, turned his face sideways and asked curiously: "Is this a mixture of monster blood and cinnabar?"
"Yes, I made it myself!"
Li Su nodded and admitted.
"This spiritual ink and talisman paper match the wind attribute, so I will draw a wind-controlling talisman first."
Han Yunzhi licked the spiritual ink with the wolf tail pen and swiped it freely on the talisman paper.
After a while, a talisman seal was successful.
Even Han Yunzhi himself was quite surprised and said: "I didn't expect it to be successful the first time?"
"Really?" Li Su asked, "What is your usual success rate?"
"The success rate of wind control spell painting should be 10 to 20 percent."
"Then try again..."
"Um!"
Han Yunzhi nodded cutely, stood on tiptoe and drew another picture.
Then, there was another Wind Control Talisman.
Seven or eight in a row.
Han Yunzhi's little face was flushed with excitement, and she was using her magic spells with some trembling movements.
Unfortunately, this time the mana was interrupted and a talisman Wufeng spontaneously ignited.
"Ah, failed."
She wrinkled her face and almost cried.
Li Su, on the other hand, had been watching silently for a long time because he had doubts about his talent in drawing talismans.
'Is it possible that the talent for drawing talismans and spells are connected? '
"I succeeded seven times in a row!"
Han Yunzhi counted the wind talismans and opened his mouth, somewhat disbelieving at his own performance.
Then, he took out his golden talisman pen and used his seven-star grass talisman paper to draw talismans.
fail!
fail.
success.
After trying five times in a row, only one was successful.
Han Yunzhi fell into thinking, then looked at the talisman pen and said, "Is this a bonus between the talisman pen and the talisman paper?"
"How to say?"
Li Su asked as a novice in cultivation.
"I once heard my elders say that talisman paper made of spirit animal skins is helpful for drawing some talismans." Han Yunzhi thought for a while and said: "The fur of wind-type monsters has a higher success rate for drawing wind-type talismans." The success rate of drawing water talismans on the fur of water monsters is also very high, but if you draw fire talismans on the fur of water monsters, the success rate will be much lower than usual..."
"Are the attributes conflicting?"
As a modern person, it is not difficult for Li Su to understand this.
"Yes, and some monsters have innate spells, such as the golden body technique or wind control technique. After peeling off the fur of these monster beasts to make talisman paper, the success rate of painting the golden body technique or wind control technique will be very high... …”
Li Su also knows these 'interesting facts'.
It is said that the fur of monster beasts has natural talisman patterns, which is why the spell power and success rate are increased.
"Can I buy some of your talismans?"
Han Yunzhi said pitifully with a red face.
"Well, why? You can take it and use it!"
"No, I want to draw a talisman and sell it, so I have to get the spirit stone!" Han Yunzhi said with a cute little face: "After my brother and I came out of the family, we could only team up with casual cultivators to take risks. If If I can master the art of drawing talismans, my brother won’t have to work so hard..."
Li Su was thinking about how low the success rate of his talisman drawing was. Seeing Li Su's silence, Han Yunzhi thought he disagreed.
He lowered his head in disappointment and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly: "You can add some spiritual stones."
