BXBX NOVEL Chapter 155: first talisman
"The name of this talisman pen is Golden Wolf Hair. The tip of the pen is made from a small amount of hair on the back of the Golden Wolf King. The barrel is made from 300-year-old blood-patterned bamboo. The price is eight thousand spirit stones."
The maid took out a jade box from the shelf, opened the lid, and revealed a one-foot-long talisman pen inside.
Wang Hong took the Talisman Pen into his hands. The pen holder made of blood-patterned bamboo is cool to the touch. There are many blood-red lines on the verdant pen holder. The tip of the pen is golden wolf hair.
"Okay! That's all, and bring me another bottle of monster blood." Wang Hong felt pretty good about this talisman pen.
"Senior, what level of monster blood essence do you need?"
"Just bring me the first-order low-grade one."
"Senior, do you need anything else?" The maid handed Wang Hong a bottle of monster blood.
"That's all for now, let's settle the bill first."
"Senior, the price of Jin Langhao is 8,000 spirit stones, and the first-grade low-grade monster blood essence only needs five spirit stones. I decide to give the monster blood essence to senior, and only need to pay 8,000 spirit stones."
Wang Hong paid 8,000 pieces of Lingshi, put away the golden wolf hair and left Fangshi.
Wang Hong returned to the training room, closed the door, and started his talisman making business.
Monster essence blood is used as rune ink, and it needs to be prepared before it can be used.
He poured the blood of the monster beast into an inkstone, and then mixed it with Zhu Lingsha and other auxiliary materials to make it even.
This is just the simplest and low-level talisman ink, and he can only make this kind of talisman now. This kind of talisman ink can only make some low-grade talismans, and it can only be adjusted as needed, and cannot be saved.
Some experienced talisman makers will specially prepare several kinds of talisman inks and carry them with them for backup, which is very convenient.
Put a piece of talisman paper upright on the table, and press it down with a paperweight.
Golden Wolf dipped his brush in thick ink and began to draw on it.
Making talismans is not the same as simple runes. Making talismans requires arranging and connecting several or even dozens of runes in a special way to form a new combination of runes.
Wang Hong needs to input mana continuously when drawing talismans. The input mana is required to be continuous and stable. The size of the input mana needs to fluctuate with the change of runes.
What he is making now is the Fireball Talisman, which contains nine flame runes.
Connect these nine runes together, and the spiritual power will flow with the runes, forming a magic running route similar to fireball on the rune paper.
It's like storing a fireball spell in it. It only needs a little mana to use it, just release it.
It is said that when the ancient monks made talismans, they referred to the way the spiritual power in the body flows when a person casts a spell.
After repeated trials, I finally chose to use the talisman paper as the carrier, using the runes to imitate the way the spiritual power in the meridians operates, and then successfully stored the spells one by one with a talisman.
Wang Hong concentrated his mind, clenched the talisman pen in his hand, and slowly drew the first rune on it.
Drawing the talisman requires one go, without pausing in the middle, and he continued to draw, his arms tensed so as not to shake his hands.
However, the harder he tried, the more he felt that his arm was not in control. Maybe it was just an illusion, but he felt more and more stagnant and his spiritual power was a little unstable.
When he drew the third rune, he output a little more spiritual power, and then all the runes collapsed instantly, a flame rose from the rune paper, and the whole rune paper was reduced to ashes.
It seems that he still thinks things are simple, he didn't continue to draw, although this kind of talisman paper is cheap, there is no need to waste it.
Then I found some ordinary paper, dipped it in ink with the golden wolf brush, and practiced drawing runes on the paper without using spiritual power.
After practicing for three days, I felt that I was proficient in my hands, so I practiced making talismans on the talisman paper again.
Still failed more than 20 pieces in a row, all due to the lack of coordination between spiritual power and brushwork, he was not in a hurry, he heard that some novice talisman crafters had to fail hundreds of pieces in a row to succeed at the first one.
When he drew the twenty-eighth talisman, he accidentally succeeded, which made him overjoyed.
Although this fireball talisman is only worth ten spirit stones, it might also be worth the price if he randomly picked a leaf of spirit grass from the space.
But this is the first talisman he made by himself, and he succeeded only on the 28th one. If it spreads out, others will think that he is a talisman-making genius.
But he knows that he has never been a genius. Apart from having space, everything is inseparable from his own efforts.
The reason why he succeeded in the first one so quickly is because he has a high degree of mastery of the two basic runes of yin and yang.
Other monks learn how to make talismans, they all follow the practice method of painting gourds and scoops. Knowing it but not knowing why, it is naturally more difficult to succeed.
This is also the reason why he has been working hard to learn the basic runes of Yangyang.
He has a high level of alchemy and can create new alchemy recipes by himself because he has spent a lot of time studying and mastering the basics of elixir, carefully studying pharmacology and properties, and knowing the characteristics and changes of various elixir.
Only in this way can the prescriptions be modified according to their own needs, so that the method can be applied without muddling the prescription.
Similarly, other successes he has achieved are the results of his own efforts.
The poison he refined was first tested on himself, and after numerous revisions of the formula, it gradually took shape.
His poisonous bee was also successfully bred by himself after repeated experiments with spirit bees.
In the world of comprehension, there are often rumors that a certain person accidentally got a chance against the sky, obtained an ancient inheritance, and practiced supreme skills.
He didn't have much interest in this. The ancient monks were human beings, and today's monks are also human beings. The ancient monks were stronger because they had more spiritual energy and more natural resources and earth treasures at that time.
Today's monks have inherited most of the knowledge inheritance of ancient monks, and it can be said that they are standing on the shoulders of their predecessors.
Although some advanced exercises have been lost, the basic knowledge has been passed down. After millions of years of accumulation, people today can also create exercises that are more suitable for the current environment.
This is also the biggest difference between the human race and the monster race. The human race can continuously learn old knowledge and then create new things.
I heard that the Xizhou Monster Race has developed for millions of years, and it is still the same as in ancient times. It relies on its own blood. If the blood is strong, it will be strong, and if the blood is weak, it will be weak.
Whether strong or not, all are born. Those with strong and noble blood will always be noble, and those with low blood will make their children and grandchildren humble.
Wang Hong found that his mind was wandering, thinking too far.
Since the first one was successful, he continued. He successfully drew two more fireball talismans for the remaining 21 talisman papers.
Next, he made hundreds of talisman papers in a row. After using them all up, he succeeded in six out of every ten. This success rate is already very high.
