Chapter 183 Alchemy and Talisman Making

The clouds and mist were lingering, and the rain was dripping.

Father Lin's fingers were weaving, and the magic spells on his hands kept being performed, and the "Green Water Secret" was constantly being performed.

Several white clouds floated in the mist, and the rain curtain was like a curtain.

After being washed by the rain, the spiritual grass became more green and juicy, which was particularly pleasing.

All the 43 acres of spiritual fields were irrigated by rain.

Father Lin breathed a sigh of relief, put away the magic spells, and smiled.

Lin Mu walked forward, looked at the green spiritual field, and said with a smile: "Dad's "Green Water Art" has improved again. Now he can do "Green Water Art" five times in a row."

Father Lin smiled and said: "I practiced "Green Water Art" when I was free, but I never thought that I would plant willows and willows will grow into shades. "Green Water Art" has made rapid progress. Now it is the fifth level and can do five times in a row. Now it is much easier to irrigate the spiritual field with rain than before."

Lin Mu nodded: "More than that, after the "Green Water Art" reaches the fifth level, the spiritual energy contained in the rain becomes more and more rich, which is very beneficial to the growth of spiritual herbs. This batch of spiritual herbs is growing so well, and a good harvest is just around the corner."

Father Lin turned his head and looked at Lin Mu, with a look of surprise on his face.

"You have made great progress after four or five months of cultivation!" Father Lin asked, "Have you used up all the 1,600 bottles of Guiling Pills?"

Lin Mu smiled and nodded, "If not, how could I have made such great progress."

Father Lin smiled and said, "Compared with you, your mother and I are far behind. We consumed several times more Guiling Pills than you, but you later caught up with us in cultivation. Now the difference is almost the same."

Although Guiling Pills can quickly improve cultivation, it varies from person to person.

Both Lin's father and mother have no spiritual roots. For the same bottle of Guiling Pill, they can only absorb 40% to 50% of the medicinal power.

Although they take a lot of it, the effect is minimal.

Lin Mu's spiritual roots are similar to Shitou's, and he can absorb 60% to 70% of it.

Yun Meng has dual spiritual roots and excellent aptitude, and can absorb about 80%.

Lin's father and mother took the most pills, but their cultivation was gradually caught up by Lin Mu and Shitou. Even Yun Meng, who had just built his foundation for two or three years, has now entered the late stage of foundation building. It is only a matter of time before he breaks through to the spiritual silence stage. Lin's father can't help but feel guilty.

Lin Mu looked at the spiritual fields that were about to harvest and smiled: "Now that this batch of spiritual herbs is about to mature, I will go to make pills. Since the effect of taking pills is not as good as others, let's win by quantity. Others take one bottle, and we take five, ten, or even a hundred bottles. In comparison, our cultivation progress is not worse than others."

Father Lin glanced at his son, his eyes were complicated, with relief and guilt. After hesitating for a while, he made up his mind and said: "Why don't I learn to make pills too. Now that five people are practicing together, there are many spiritual fields, and the materials are thousands or tens of thousands. Relying on you and Shitou to make pills, I'm afraid it will be enough even if you die of exhaustion."

Lin Mu was about to refuse, but he saw his father's firm face, and his tone softened, persuading him: "Although alchemy is not difficult to understand, it is not so easy to learn. You and mother just practice, and don't have to pay attention to these mundane things. After practicing, planting spiritual fields and raining spiritual herbs are enough, why think so much."

Father Lin insisted, Lin Mu hurriedly said: "Alchemy is too difficult to learn. Why don't you learn to make talismans? I have recently harvested a batch of seven-star grass. Now that the Guiling Pill is used up, why don't I make the pills and you and my mother make talismans together, how about it?"

Father Lin thought about it and nodded in agreement.

He didn't like alchemy, and wanted to learn it just to help Lin Mu share some pressure.

Now learning to make talismans is actually the same as alchemy.

As long as it helps Lin Mu, he doesn't care what to learn.

Seeing his father agreed, Lin Mu hurriedly took out the Seven Star Grass and a small amount of first-grade and second-grade spiritual herbs, and took out the talisman mold, and then took out the cloud smoke pen and purple sand, and said with a smile: "This spiritual grass can be used to make Seven Star Paper, and this cloud smoke pen and purple sand can be used to make talismans. You can try to learn it. If you feel that it doesn't work, you don't have to learn it."

After Lin Mu said this, he took out two jade slips from the storage bag, one of which was "The Beginning of Talismans" and the other was "Random Talks on Talismans", both of which recorded the basic way of making talismans.

Father Lin took the talisman pen, purple sand, and jade slips, and then put the seven-star grass and talisman mold into the storage bag, and said with a smile: "Let me take a look at the jade slips. If I can understand something, I will start making it."

Lin Mu smiled and said: "I will start refining the elixir today. You give me the 7,500 materials."

Father Lin was stunned, and then suddenly remembered that he had withheld the materials that day and did not let Lin Mu continue to refine the elixir. He took out the materials and told him: "Don't work so hard this time. Take a rest when you need to."

Lin Mu nodded and agreed, and put all the materials into the storage bag.

Father Lin gave a few instructions, then took the jade slips and walked into the house to learn how to make talismans.

Lin Mu then took out the purple incense burner, threw a portion of the material into the furnace, and cast a spell. A ball of flame appeared at the bottom of the furnace and began to refine the elixir.

Lin Mu's consciousness moved, and the fire control skills were used. The flame at the bottom of the furnace instantly turned into a three-leaf fire lotus.

The three-leaf fire lotus seemed to be quiet, burning quietly at the bottom of the furnace, but the speed of refining the elixir was much faster than before.

In less than an hour, a fragrance wafted out of the furnace.

With the fire control skills reaching the level of the three-leaf fire lotus, Lin Mu was able to refine the elixir with ease and confidence.

This time, refining the elixir was much easier than before.

In less than an hour, a furnace of Guiling Pills was ready.

Lin Mu's alchemy skills had reached 80% before he succeeded, and now he has made a great progress and has reached 85%!

After a day, Lin Mu rested for three hours and easily refined 19 bottles of Guiling Pills.

Lin Mu was secretly happy that the hard work he had endured before finally paid off today.

If he hadn't worked so hard before, he didn't know when his fire control skills would reach the level of the three-leaf fire lotus.

Now that his alchemy skills have improved, alchemy is much easier than before.

Lin Mu was encouraged by this and continued to refine pills every day with full enthusiasm.

After a month, Lin Mu counted the number of Guiling Pills and was shocked by the result.

Six hundred bottles!

This number was unbelievable to Lin Mu.

He was surprised and counted again.

Six hundred bottles, exactly!

Lin Mu remembered that he had worked so hard before, and the limit in a month was only about 530 bottles.

Later, he was extremely tired and his speed dropped a lot.

Now that his fire control skills have improved, not only has the success rate increased a lot, but the speed has also improved by leaps and bounds.

After one month, he has produced 70 more bottles than before!

It is more and more difficult to refine pills at his level. It is common for him to refine pills for several months without any progress.

Now he has surpassed his original level and has suddenly made another leap, reaching 600 bottles directly.

Shitou now has a 60% success rate in refining pills, and he only refines more than 300 bottles per month.

His speed is almost twice that of Shitou!

Lin Mu has made great progress in refining pills, and his father and mother have also started making talismans.

Father Lin spent a month reading the two jade slips dozens of times, and he has a clear understanding of the way to make talismans. What he lacks is just practice.

Then he wiped off the spiritual mark left by Lin Mu on the Yunyan pen and refined it again.

After the Yunyan pen was successfully refined, Father Lin began to make seven-star paper.

He was already familiar with this job.

Father Lin took out the talisman mold, threw in the Seven Star Grass and some first-grade and second-grade spiritual herbs, then poured in clear water, crushed it with a copper mallet, and input spiritual power into the talisman mold, and slowly boiled it over low heat.

Until the Seven Star Grass slurry in the talisman mold was boiled into a uniform, transparent, green and thick liquid, Father Lin began to make paper.

One by one, the light green Seven Star Paper was taken out from the bronze plate.

Thirteen thousand Seven Star Grasses, Father Lin made a total of 6,300 Seven Star Papers.

Six thousand three hundred!

This was enough for Father Lin to practice.

Mother Lin had already taken the Guiling Pill, and the two began to make talismans together.

Mother Lin began to learn to make the intermediate talisman "Explosive Flame Talisman", while Father Lin started from the entry level and slowly made the "Fire Bomb Talisman".

However, the progress of the two in talismans could not be compared with Lin Mu's progress in alchemy.

Mother Lin was a beginner in intermediate talisman carving. She was good at carving patterns, but like Lin Mu, she had no experience in finding the talisman core and failed repeatedly.

Fortunately, she successfully sacrificed the Heaven-shaking Umbrella, and the explosion of the "Explosive Flame Talisman" did not cause any damage to her.

It was just that the success rate was not satisfactory, just reaching 20%.

Father Lin was not much better than Mother Lin. Not only was his speed much slower, but his success rate was only hovering around 20%.

Lin Mu could only smile bitterly at this.

Everyone is like this. In the beginning, if you have no experience, your success rate will definitely be very low.

Only after a lot of practice can you become proficient.

Of course, some necessary advice can help people avoid many detours.

In addition to refining the elixir, Lin Mu did not forget to give his parents some advice.

What he said were some of the mistakes he often made in the past, as well as some of his own experience in making talismans.

After listening to them, Father Lin and Mother Lin deliberately avoided such mistakes, and indeed benefited a lot, and their success rate gradually increased.

During the interval of refining the elixir, Lin Mu also went to the Xuanyue Space to check once and found that this batch of spiritual herbs had matured.

He hurriedly collected the spiritual herbs and prepared 1,800 materials again.

Then he turned over the spiritual field, sowed seeds, and planted spiritual herbs again.

After finishing these, Lin Mu continued to refine the elixir without stopping.

The previous 7,500 materials, plus the current 1,800, totaled 9,300.

If Lin Mu refined 9,300 alone, he would not be able to finish refining in a year.

Shitou had just finished taking the elixir and walked out of the house, which relieved Lin Mu a lot of worries.

After more than half a year of hard practice, Shitou's cultivation has improved a lot, and he is only one step away from the late stage of foundation building.

Yunmeng, on the other hand, took the elixir very slowly. He had been in seclusion all the time and had not come out, so he had not reached any realm of cultivation.

Lin Mu then gave Shitou 3,000 materials, and the rest were all refined by himself.

Shitou took out the bronze furnace and then started to refine the elixir with Lin Mu.

With the two working together, the speed of refining pills was indeed much faster.

Lin Mu could refine more than 600 bottles of Guiling Pills every month, and he could also make slight progress. After three months, he had reached 610 bottles.

Shitou seemed to have also opened up in alchemy, and his success rate increased greatly, from 60% to 70%.

The speed of refining pills also increased from 350 bottles at the beginning to 400 bottles after three months.

The two worked together to refine pills, and they could refine more than 1,000 bottles every month.

In half a year, the two had refined all the materials.

Nine thousand three hundred materials, a total of 7,000 bottles of Guiling Pills were refined.

7,000 bottles!

Whether it was the success rate of refining pills, the speed, or the quantity, it was better than before.

Lin Mu and Shitou were both happy.
