Qingmei took out a thick stack of talisman papers and said, "Brother, these are newly made talisman papers, 120 in total. In addition, Liju found 3 chilong skins from other cities, and a whole one that was 800 years old. The skeleton of a dragon and two complete 500-year-old tiger bones. She wanted 50 pieces of dragon skin clothing and 30 'Dragon and Tiger Pills'. I didn't agree to her, and said I would ask you back and then give her an answer."
Lu Cheng said: "Fifty pieces of dragon skin clothing are no problem, but I have never refined the Dragon Tiger Pill. I don't know if it can be made, let alone how many pills can be made. Bring the things and I will give it a try first. If it fails, I gave her 'Tiger Dove Pill' as compensation. Have you ever asked, what are the effects of Dragon Tiger Pill?"
"Li Ju said that there is a difference between Dragon Tiger Pill and Tiger Dove Pill. Tiger Dove Pill is mainly taken by innate warriors, while Dragon Tiger Pill is mainly taken by spiritual warriors. Tigers are stronger than feet, and vultures are stronger than wings. The efficacy of Tiger Dove Pill Eighty percent of it acts on the bones of the limbs, and only 20% flows into the vertebrae. Dragon is stronger than vertebrae, so most of the effect of Dragon Tiger Pill flows into the vertebrae, and a small part is perfused into the bones of limbs. Dragon Tiger Pill is more difficult to refine than Tiger Dove Pill, but it is more It’s good for improving one’s skill, so the price is several times higher than Tiger Dove Pill!”
"I understand. Li Ju wants Dragon Tiger Pill to sell it to earn jade coins? Or does he want to send it back to Qingqiu Country?"
Qingmei smiled and said: "Brother, I don't know. But I guess that she will send some of the elixirs back to Qingqiu Country. After all, the Fox Clan is too short of masters. With the Dragon Tiger Pill, the innate warriors and spiritual warriors can break through the realm , if you are lucky, you may be able to give birth to a Heavenly Martial Master in Qingqiu Kingdom."
The next morning, Lu Cheng went to see his master Wu Luo, but he saw no one.
According to senior sister Wu Qi, the master swallowed the "Spiritual Witch Pill" and needed to retreat for at least 72 days to absorb the power of the medicine. When the master comes out of seclusion, his skill will be greatly improved, at least by one level, and if he is lucky, even by one and a half levels.
At this time, Wu Luo was at the sixth level of the Great Witch. If she were to advance to another level, she would be at the seventh level. There are only seven levels in the Great Witch Realm, and the higher level is the Spirit Witch.
Because the vertebrae are cultivated one by one, and the vertebrae of the first level will be the first level, so there is no such thing as a "half-step spiritual witch".
In other words, when Wu Luo reaches the seventh level of the Great Witch, it will be the highest level under the spirit wizard.
Lu Cheng asked Wu Qi again: "Senior sister, do you know when the monster siege will begin?"
Wu Qi frowned and said: "I have never experienced this. Large-scale attacks by monsters on places where humans have settled only happen once every sixty years. It is said that they always choose the time when spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, which is the "Spring Equinox" Two or three days before and after.”
Lu Cheng counted on his fingers and said, "In other words, there are less than 90 days left?"
It is now the 19th day after the "beginning of spring". Next, there are two solar terms: "rain" and "waking of insects", and then it is the vernal equinox. One solar term lasts 36 days, two solar terms last 72 days, and there are 17 days left in the Beginning of Spring solar term, which adds up to nearly 90 days.
Wu Qi nodded: "Yes. Don't worry too much. I asked the master two days ago. The master said that when the war begins, we little witches will enter the feudal city to assist the innate warriors in defending the city. Our main task is to rescue the injured. We The danger is relatively small, unless the city is destroyed, there will be a life and death threat."
"We have all gone to the feudal city, but where is the Witch Castle?"
"Master Wu Shuang will seal the Witch Castle. He will also participate in the defense of the city, but he will not take action as soon as he comes up."
"How does he seal the Witch Keep?"
"I have no idea."
Lu Cheng turned to ask, "Senior sister, what should we do next?"
Wu Qi said: "Master asked us to continue making talisman paper. After she comes out of seclusion, she will draw some life-saving talismans, healing talismans and hemostatic talismans."
"Senior sister, can you draw these talismans?"
"I can only draw hemostatic charms, and the success rate is 50%."
"Then you can teach me, okay? I'll provide the talisman!"
"good."
Lu Cheng took out 10 pieces of talisman paper and watched Wu Qi draw the bleeding talisman several times. Some of them succeeded and some failed. The failure was because of her lack of skill.
Wu Qi is 26 years old. Although she started early, she has advanced slowly. She is only at the second level of innate talent and has not yet developed spiritual consciousness.
According to Lu Cheng's experience, drawing a talisman requires sufficient aura, but aura alone is not enough. Without the guidance of divine consciousness, the success rate of drawing a talisman will not exceed 70%. Once there is divine consciousness, the success rate of drawing a talisman is close to 10%. become.
What is a talisman?
"A little spiritual light is a talisman, and the world is wasting Mo and Zhu in vain."
According to later generations of Taoists, there are "innate talisman" and "acquired talisman". "Innate talisman" is made of a single point of spiritual consciousness, while the acquired talisman has complicated ritual rules. Therefore, drawing talisman is difficult to say and easy to say. Once you have spiritual awareness, it's not that difficult. Without the guidance of spiritual consciousness, the failure rate must be very high.
Lu Cheng learned the "Bleeding Talisman" from Wu Qi, and then went to learn the "Healing Talisman" from his elder sister Wu Qin.
As for the "life-saving talisman", it has remarkable effects and can bring the dead back to life. Even Wu Qin can't draw it. It is said that it is too complicated, with more than 400 strokes, and only high-level witches can draw it.
The so-called "high-level great witches" refer to great witches like Wu Luo who are at level six or above. Levels 3, 4 and 5 can only be considered mid-level great witches; levels 1, 2, and 3 are considered low-level great witches.
Lu Cheng returned to his cave and continued to draw "bleeding charms" and "healing charms". His current skill is at the fourth level of innate skill, and he can draw 30 talismans in one day. Any more would be a bit difficult.
For the next three days, he went to the Witch Temple every morning to learn spells.
Qingmei brought back a storage bracelet, which contained a huge dragon skeleton, two tiger skeletons, and three chilong skins.
There are many kinds of dragons. Those with scales are called Jiaolong, those with wings are called Yinglong, and those with horns are called Qiulong. The small one is called Jiao, and the big one is called Dragon. Most of the legends say that it can appear or hide, can be thin or large, can be short or long. The spring equinox ascends to the sky, the autumnal equinox dives into the abyss, it can call the wind and rain, and it is omnipotent.
The difference between Jiaolong and Chilong is that Jiaolong has scales and no horns, and there is no distinction between male and female; Chilong has no scales, no horns, and is mostly female.
The one that Lu Cheng put away was said to be a keel that had grown for 800 years. These bones were mainly vertebrae, with as many as 800 pieces! Each vertebra is 10-15 centimeters thick, and the ribs are a meter long. You can imagine how big this dragon was when it was alive!
It's not surprising that dragons have 800 vertebrae, since ordinary snakes also have 200-400 vertebrae.
The skeletons of the two ferocious tigers are also very large. After all, they are tigers that have been growing for 500 years. They are much larger than the tigers Lu Cheng has seen before.
Lu Cheng cut the dragon bones and tiger bones into sections and collected them into the jade ring.
Two days later, while lying on the big wooden bed at night, Lu Cheng rubbed his jade ring and recited the incantation silently, and then returned to modern times.
