Chapter 116 Seven Star Paper

Lin Mu left the market quickly like lightning.

After flying dozens of miles out of the market, Lin Mu landed in a secluded place.

Looking around, there was no one. Lin Mu smiled and disappeared from the spot.

Entering the Xuanyue space, Lin Mu went straight to the hut.

Lin's father, Lin's mother and Shitou all woke up from their meditation. Seeing Lin Mu coming in, Lin's father smiled and said, "Why are you so happy?"

Lin Mu smiled even more: "This time I stayed in a market for half a day and got a lot of useful things."

Shitou was surprised and said, "What are they?"

"Something suitable for the three of you." Lin Mu smiled and said, "I got it specially for you."

After that, Lin Mu took out the talisman mold, talisman pen, cinnabar, jade slips, and two dozen paper notes and put them on the table.

The three looked at the talisman mold, not knowing its purpose, and turned to look at Lin Mu with doubts in their eyes.

"This is a talisman mold." Lin Mu pointed at the talisman mold and smiled as he stepped forward to explain, "It can be used to make paper. The seven-star grass we harvested a few days ago can be placed in this talisman mold to make seven-star paper."

Lin Mu then picked up the talisman pen and smiled, "This talisman pen is used to draw talismans. It is a medium-grade magic weapon and is much stronger than my original golden bamboo pen."

After Lin Mu finished explaining, he turned around and found that the three people were still confused and bewildered.

Lin Mu was surprised for a while, and then he understood and knew that he was too impatient. The three people had just embarked on the path of cultivation and did not understand talismans.

This time, Lin Mu gave the right medicine and explained from the beginning: "Although your cultivation is advancing very fast now, it is flashy and has no attack power. If you go out alone, you will not be defeated by others. Dad and mom are mortals without spiritual roots. There is no hope for magic in the Qi Refining Stage. The only hope is on this talisman. The use of talismans is very simple and does not require any spiritual roots. As long as you input spiritual power into it and stimulate it, you can exert the power of the talisman. If used properly, the power that the talisman can exert is even far greater than magic."

"It's just that the production cost of this talisman is very high, and not everyone can afford it." Seeing the expectation on the faces of the three people, Lin Mu continued to explain: "Now we have this complete set of magic tools, talisman molds, talisman pens, paper, cinnabar, all available, production cost is no longer a problem, it only takes time, and the time in the Xuanyue space is doubled, which greatly shortens the process."

Now, the three people all understood.

Lin Mu took out another jade slip from his storage bag, which was the "First Explanation of Talismans" he had bought before.

Lin Mu took out two blank jade slips, copied them down, and handed them to the three people.

If his parents and Shitou could learn to make talismans, Lin Mu's efforts would not be in vain.

In this trip to Fire Dragon Valley, he would face people in the Spiritual Silence Stage. Lin Mu was not very confident and could only use talismans to enhance his strength.

This was why he was willing to spend four bottles of Hundred Years Spirit Milk to exchange with the owner of the Thousand Talismans Shop.

The three people took the jade slip, hurriedly input spiritual power into it, and began to read it carefully.

Lin Mu also took out a jade slip from his storage bag, which was the jade slip given by the owner in the Thousand Talismans Shop. Inputting spiritual power into it, a few big words first appeared in Lin Mu's mind.

"Random Talk on Talismans"!

All the records in it are the shop owner's life experience in making talismans. There are a total of fifteen methods of carving talismans, as well as the use of talisman molds, etc.

After a while, Lin Mu put down the jade slip.

He did not study the method of making intermediate talismans in detail. This time he mainly studied how to use talisman molds.

From the jade slip, Lin Mu learned that the production of paper is complicated and simple. It is complicated because the production of paper requires many procedures, and each procedure has many steps. As long as there is a mistake in one step in the middle, the production of paper is considered a failure. It is simple because as long as this production method is mastered, paper can be produced in large quantities.

This top-grade talisman mold is well-made and ingeniously constructed. Many processes do not require the cultivator to do it personally. They only need to input spiritual power into it and control the temperature.

Lin Mu followed the recipe recorded in the jade slip, took out hundreds of seven-star grass, and put in several other first-grade spiritual herbs, three-line vines, long-ji roots, etc.

Putting these spiritual herbs into the talisman, Lin Mu performed the "Green Water Art" and slightly injected some clean water into it. Then he picked up the copper mallet hanging beside the talisman and carefully crushed the spiritual herbs into a paste. Then Lin Mu grabbed the bronze round handle exposed on the left side of the talisman and input spiritual power into it.

Suddenly, a burst of flames rose from the bottom of the talisman, and it was slowly boiled at the bottom of the talisman with a small fire like cooking porridge.

Lin Mu smiled. The third-grade formation "Lihuo Formation" was engraved in this talisman. The cultivator only needed to input spiritual power into it, and the flame would automatically be generated, which was very convenient to use.

After three hours, the pulp in the talisman had been boiled into a uniform and transparent state. The green liquid pulp exuded a faint light, and there was a smell of spiritual herbs floating around.

Lin's father, Lin's mother and Shitou had already finished reading the jade slips and watched silently beside them without making any noise to disturb them.

Lin Mu felt that the pulp was almost done, so he quickly input spiritual power into it. A tiny hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the talisman mold, and a ball of pulp fell from the hole at a uniform speed and landed on the bronze plate below the talisman mold.

The bronze plate was extremely smooth. As soon as the pulp landed on it, it quickly spread out, like a flowing plate, evenly forming a whole, covering the entire plate.

After a while, the pulp cooled down.

Lin Mu stretched out his hand and peeled it off, and a light blue paper with moderate thickness was made.

The paper surface was smooth, without a single wrinkle, and it was warm and cool to the touch, and it felt very good.

This is the Seven Star Paper!

A complete Seven Star Paper can be used to make the Seven Star Paper for the intermediate talisman!

Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Shitou saw that Lin Mu had made the paper, and they all smiled.

Next, Lin Mu followed the same method and made all the pulp into paper. This time, a total of fifty Seven Star Papers were made.

Lin Mu held half a dozen Seven-Star Paper in his hand, his heart filled with joy.

With these paper, he will not have to worry about making talismans in the future. If he can make a large number of low-level talismans, or even mid-level talismans, Lin Mu will not be afraid even if he faces a master of the Spiritual Silence Stage, even though he is just in the Qi Refining Stage.

Making talismans is not a difficult task. Especially after having a large number of paper to practice, it is easier to learn.

Lin Mu taught his father how to use the talisman mold and how to make paper.

Thousands of Seven-Star Grasses are enough for Lin's father to make for a long time.

Then, Lin Mu wiped off the spiritual mark of the Golden Bamboo Pen he used and let Shitou use it after the sacrifice. Then he gave the Danqing Pen to his mother, taught her the sacrifice method, and helped her to succeed in the sacrifice.

The three of them had a clear division of labor. Lin's father was responsible for making paper, and Shitou and Lin's mother were responsible for making talismans.

It's just that the two of them had just dabbled in the art of making talismans, and their skills were extremely unfamiliar. They couldn't even draw the basic lines straight, and they were crooked, like earthworms.

Lin Mu was glad that he had bought two dozen low-level talisman papers at the street stall, and then asked his mother and Shitou to practice with these low-level talisman papers, saving the precious Seven Star Paper.

Lin Mu also successfully sacrificed the Cloud Mist Pen and began to use the Seven Star Paper to learn to make intermediate-level talismans.

However, the production of intermediate-level talismans is more than ten times more complicated than that of low-level talismans. The lines are more complicated and mysterious. Lin Mu spent five hours to draw the "Explosive Flame Talisman" completely. This is just the first step. The difference between intermediate-level talismans and intermediate-level spells is not much. After using them, the cultivator can still control the direction of the talisman in a short time. This requires the talisman maker to leave a traction consciousness on the talisman when making the talisman.

It was this step that made Lin Mu's brains hurt.

Lin Mu can now easily complete the first step of drawing talismans, but leaving a traction consciousness in the talisman is a very difficult task for him.

Lin Mu's consciousness is now comparable to that of a mid-stage foundation cultivator, so it should not be difficult to make a mid-level talisman.

But what makes Lin Mu feel helpless is that he has not mastered the method of conserving the consciousness.

Every time he just inputs consciousness into the talisman, the talisman will be inexplicably activated, and the "Explosive Flame Talisman" will explode beside him.

When it exploded for the first time, although Lin Mu was prepared and dodged in time, he was still blown black and his clothes were torn.

In the subsequent experiments, Lin Mu was very careful, and the Earth Luo Umbrella was always waiting in front of him. As long as Lin Mu noticed something was wrong, he would immediately throw out the "Explosive Flame Talisman", and then put up the yellow shield of the Earth Luo Umbrella to protect himself under the umbrella.

After Lin Mu scrapped fifteen "Explosive Flame Talismans" in a row, he finally found the problem.

It turns out that each talisman has its own special structure. But the most important point is to determine whether the talisman can exist stably, that is, the talisman heart.

The talisman heart is not the center of the talisman paper, it is the center of the entire talisman.

Lin Mu understood it only after studying the jade slip given by the shop owner again and again.

The spiritual consciousness must be left on the heart of the talisman to ensure the stability of the entire talisman.

After understanding this principle, Lin Mu started to deliberately keep the spiritual consciousness at the heart of the talisman.

However, the location of the heart of each talisman is completely different, so Lin Mu's success rate is not high.

Of the ten "Explosive Flame Talismans", Lin Mu can only make three now, and the remaining seven will all explode and turn into ashes.

Every explosion of a talisman means that Lin Mu's five hours of hard work is wasted and a piece of Seven Star Paper is scrapped.

What makes Lin Mu a little relieved is that Lin's father makes Seven Star Paper very quickly. Basically, half a dozen, about fifty sheets, can be made every day. Although the first few dozen papers were not made very well, the pulp inside was not boiled to a uniform and transparent level, so that fine grass leaves can be seen in the paper. But Lin's father quickly adjusted, and the subsequent paper making was not much worse than Lin Mu.

At Lin Mu's speed, he only consumed about three sheets of Seven-Star Paper every day. Father Lin's speed in making paper was far beyond Lin Mu's expectations.

Like Lin Mu, Mother Lin and Shitou also increased their success rate after a lot of practice.

After the two dozen low-level talisman papers were used up by the two of them, a total of thirty "Ice Bullet Talismans" and fifteen "Fire Bullet Talismans" were made.

The success rate of both of them was only about 20%.

Such a success rate did not surprise Lin Mu. First, the talisman paper they used was too poor, so the success rate was low. Second, they had just learned to make talismans and were not very skilled.

After the two hundred low-level talisman papers were used up, Lin Mu asked his mother and Shitou to continue practicing with the Seven-Star Paper.

This time, the success rate increased greatly, doubling.

The success rate of the two can reach more than 40%.

As time goes by, the success rate is slowly increasing.

Fifty days later, Lin's father consumed all the Seven-Star Grass, and except for the scrapped spiritual grass, a total of 1,500 Seven-Star Papers were produced.

Two months later, Lin Mu, his mother, and Shitou used up all the 1,500 Seven-Star Papers.

Lin Mu was quite satisfied with this harvest.

Lin Mu himself produced about 200 mid-level talismans, and the success rate has exceeded 40%.

Lin's mother and Shitou made a total of 500 low-level talismans, with a success rate of over 50%.

Two months, 700 talismans.

Lin Mu was very satisfied, and he had more confidence in his trip to Fire Dragon Valley.
