Chapter 3: Talisman Making

It is not easy to leave Yunmeng Market.

According to the rules set by Bishui Sect, any casual cultivator who accepts the task of opening up wasteland.

Need to stay in the market for five years.

After five years.

Bishui Sect does not interfere with the cultivators' stay or leave.

Of course, Yunmeng Market is located deep in the Yunmeng Lake area, and the Bishui Sect's spirit ship is needed to travel back and forth.

Before coming.

The spirit ship will pick you up for free.

There are many publicity for various opportunities.

Do you want to become an immortal? Come to open up wasteland.

Yunmeng Market, the starting point of your longevity.

After coming.

I was dumbfounded.

Immortal cultivation fraud.

This is the end of the longevity road.

Bishui Sect is a friendly cooperative unit of the underworld.

Can't stay and want to leave?

No problem, three hundred spirit stones per ticket.

If you think it's too expensive, you can run out by yourself.

If you can run out of the Yunmeng Lake area by yourself, you win.

The boat tickets are too expensive, but they dare not go by themselves. The Bishui Sect also understands the difficulties of independent cultivators.

If you work in Yunmeng Market for ten years, the boat ticket spirit stones will be halved.

If you work for twenty years, the boat ticket spirit stones will be 100.

All the above rules are set for poor people.

If you have connections and spirit stones, you can repeatedly challenge Yunmeng Market and Chu Country's immortal cultivation world.

What a coincidence.

Shen Lian lacks spirit stones and has no connections, so he is a double poor person.

Why did the predecessor come to Yunmeng Market? It was to see if he could encounter any opportunities.

If you open up the wasteland, you may be able to pick up high-level ores, spiritual medicines, etc.

This kind of thing will happen in Yunmeng Market every once in a while.

Then, it can inspire a large number of independent cultivators to rush into the depths of the wilderness like chicken blood.

It is difficult for the lower-level cultivators, and Shen Lian can also understand the thoughts of his predecessor.

If you can't rely on yourself, you can only rely on the will of heaven.

Maybe one day I can pick up a high-level ore or a high-level spiritual medicine.

But the probability is too low.

On the contrary, the probability of losing my life is very high.

More than half a year ago.

As soon as Shen Lian came here, he immediately completely denied the original owner's strategy of risking his life.

Changed the risking route to a... steady route.

With a steady system in hand, he only needs to find a safe place and practice peacefully.

He wants to be steady!

Desperate is not suitable for him!

Looking at the fire talisman in his hand again and again, Shen Lian recalled the memory of making the talisman in his mind.

It's different with a system.

The predecessor, Cai Kun, studied for a long time but didn't get started.

After a while, put down the fire talisman.

Shen Lian began to calculate, and he poured out everything in the storage bag.

In total...

a spiritual stone.

A second-rate low-grade spiritual sword, worth about eight spiritual stones.

If it weren't for self-defense, Shen Lian would have pawned the sword as rent.

He picked up the talisman pen and checked it. There were already cracks on it.

This first-grade low-grade talisman pen was bought for thirty spirit stones, which can only be regarded as ordinary goods.

The spirit ink is quite rich. Although it is just an ordinary product among the first-grade low-grade spirit ink, it also cost twenty spirit stones when it was bought.

The talisman paper is cheap. One knife of talisman paper has ten sheets, which is worth three spirit stones.

The original owner bought a few knives, and later there were only thirteen sheets left.

"If there is no system, I want to become a talisman master. I don’t know how many spirit stones I have spent."

In memory, the original owner bought three bottles of spirit ink, wasted two bottles, but didn’t draw a single talisman.

The remaining bottle was ticked by the King of Hell before it could be used.

"A talisman pen can be used a hundred times, and the cost is one-third of a spiritual stone each time."

"A bottle of spiritual ink can be used to draw ten to fifteen times. Even if it can draw fifteen talismans, the cost is one and a third of a spiritual stone each time."

"A piece of talisman paper costs one-third of a spiritual stone."

"In other words, regardless of success or failure, the cost of a low-grade fire talisman is two spiritual stones."

"This is still the most common three-piece set for making talismans. If the quality of spiritual ink and talisman paper is better in the same level, the cost will be even higher."

"For a fire talisman, Jubaolou charges three low-grade spiritual stones. If you want to avoid losing money, you need to make at least seven successful talisman papers with one knife."

After calculating the cost problem, Shen Lian couldn't help shaking his head.

It seems that the life of low-level talisman masters is not easy. They can only make a little money for their skills.

Maybe they will even lose money.

However, the higher the level of the talisman, the more expensive it is.

Some first-level medium-grade talismans are worth ten spiritual stones each.

Although the cost is a bit higher, the profit is also greater.

From this point of view, being a talisman master has a promising future.

At least it is much easier than puppeteers and alchemists.

Of course, it can also be sold to casual cultivators at a higher price, four spirit stones per piece.

But Shen Lian has never thought about retail.

After calculating the cost, he suddenly smiled.

The talisman pen, spirit ink, and talisman paper in front of him are all free.

Chi Chi--

On the smooth bed board, a piece of talisman paper sparked and burned to ashes in an instant.

Shen Lian was frightened by the flames.

When he drew the last stroke, his whole body trembled violently, as if his body was emptied.

"Cough cough cough..."

Shen Lian coughed violently, and the miasma was entangled in him, and he couldn't even draw the talisman well.

After hesitating for a moment, he put away the three-piece set of talisman making and re-laid the bedding.

He took out the last spirit stone at the bottom of the box and practiced.

He hadn't practiced for more than half a year.

He practiced Qianyuan Gong, a moderate and peaceful method.

He took into account all five elements and could practice up to the seventh level of Qi training.

In layman's terms, this method is common and has no advantages at all.

The spirit stone glowed in his hand, and the spiritual light penetrated into his body along his arm.

[Calm down, perception point +1]

…

Early the next morning, Shen Lian got up and first grabbed a sweet potato to chew.

He then lifted the quilt.

He spread out the talisman paper.

The failure yesterday was mainly due to the miasma affecting his spiritual power and mental state.

A normal third-level Qi training cultivator can make two or three talismans in a row without feeling exhausted.

Many beginners of talisman making have to bathe, change clothes, burn incense and calm their breath before drawing talismans.

The purpose is to calm their minds and be able to concentrate on making talismans.

Shen Lian did not have this condition either.

I ate a sweet potato, and that was it.

The talisman pen dipped in the spiritual ink, and then the spiritual power in the body flowed to the talisman pen, and began to outline on the talisman paper.

On the blank talisman paper, a faint light appeared after the talisman pen moved.

The whole process was smooth.

When Shen Lian raised his hand, the red light on the talisman paper in front of him flashed and then dimmed, and the spiritual ink and talisman paper merged into one.

The fire talisman, it's done again!

"Ahem..."

He put away the talisman pen and covered it with spiritual ink.

After yesterday's mistake, Shen Lian didn't plan to draw anymore.

His lungs were poisonous.

If he continued to draw, regardless of how his body would bear it, wasting talisman paper and spiritual ink would be a waste.

Take a rest first, and draw again in the afternoon.

...

Six days later.

On Shen Lian's stone bed, twelve fire talismans were neatly laid out.

It's different with the system, the success rate is almost 100%.

The total value is thirty-six low-grade spirit stones.
