Chapter 262: Three-Element Thunder Talisman

Half a year later, in Song Qingming's cave in Funiu Mountain.

Looking at the pile of materials on the table, Song Qingming's face rarely showed a trace of greedy joy. A few months ago, he had taken the initiative to send several second-level low-grade talismans to the Song family shop in Qinghefang. Soon, almost the entire Qinghefang was speculating that the Song family should have a second-level talisman maker.

Not long after, some people took the initiative to bring materials to the door and asked if the Song family could help make second-level talismans.

However, the talisman-making materials in the hands of these cultivators who took the initiative to find the door were all relatively rare talismans. If the other party provided the materials and you were responsible for processing and making them, you could charge a part of the commission if you succeeded. If you failed, even if the other party did not pursue the matter, you would have worked in vain for more than ten days. Drawing a strange talisman that you are not familiar with would definitely not be too high.

Moreover, making a second-level talisman is also a time-consuming thing. Putting all your energy on this will easily delay the cultivator's own practice. Generally speaking, a second-level talisman maker is unlikely to easily agree to such a request.

Song Qingming is not the only second-level talisman maker in Qinghe County. The Huang family and the Gao family each have one, and there is also a gifted person in the vassal refining family of the Gao family. However, the second-level talisman makers of these families all know how to use their familiar spiritual talisman business, and directly refuse these unfamiliar spiritual talisman materials.

The reason why Song Qingming did this abnormally was because he had something that happened to make up for this major shortcoming. After knowing this news, he asked Song Qingwan and others to start collecting these second-level talisman materials that came to the door. As long as you bring them to the door, the Song family will not refuse them and directly send them to Song Qingming in Funiu Mountain. In a few months, his talisman making skills began to improve by leaps and bounds.

When he went to various major markets to look for talisman materials, he ran around and collected only so much. Compared with the continuous and active delivery to the door, there is really a big difference. If he had known that he could easily get these materials sitting at home, he really shouldn’t have deliberately concealed his identity as a second-level talisman maker.

The only downside is that he has relatively few talisman-making books. He has never seen some of the talisman-making materials he has brought, and he doesn't know what kind of talismans to make, so he can only return them intact. Even so, Song Qingming's current talisman-making materials are already very saturated, and he has been so busy for several months that he has not left the cave.

With the help of the incomplete map, Song Qingming can almost shorten the time of talisman-making by 80%. What others need more than ten days to complete only takes two or three days for him. It is precisely because of this help that Song Qingming has the confidence to collect a large number of second-level materials that come to him on their own initiative.

Today, Song Qingming is waving a black talisman pen in his hand in the cave as usual.

This talisman pen was bought by him in the market when he advanced to the second-level talisman maker a few years ago. It is considered a masterpiece of a second-level refiner. Now he is very handy in using it.

This talisman has been drawn for several days in a row. Song Qingming, who failed several times, finally succeeded in drawing this green talisman covered with lightning this time.

Looking at the talisman in his hand that was full of aura and agitated with arcs, Song Qingming felt the fluctuating spiritual power in the talisman, nodded with satisfaction, put it aside, and started drawing the next talisman.

Unlike making a first-level talisman, the mana required to make a second-level talisman is very large. Whether it is a Qi-refining cultivator or a foundation-building cultivator, it is difficult to draw a complete talisman with the mana stored in the body. Basically, you have to stop writing in the middle and wait for your own mana to recover before continuing to draw. In this continuous process, it is easy to have incomplete strokes, which will lead to the failure of drawing the entire talisman.

This is also the biggest difficulty in drawing a second-level talisman. It is difficult to control this point without a little talent in talisman making skills. This is why second-level talisman makers are so rare.

However, after so many years of thinking and training, Song Qingming has mastered this very well. With the help of the incomplete map, he can slowly absorb spiritual energy to replenish his mana even in the process of making talismans. In comparison, he can draw talismans with fewer connections than others. Some talismans with simpler runes can even be drawn directly like a first-level talisman.

It is for this reason that Song Qingming was able to make up for his shortcomings with hard work and successfully break through to the second-level talisman maker despite his average talent in making talismans.

After drawing three talismans in a row, Song Qingming finally used up the materials on the table that had been swallowed for more than ten days. After putting away the black talisman pen in his hand, he slowly approached hj step by step.

"There are seven materials in total, and three of them succeeded. I'm lucky this time."

Song Qingming, who felt the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations in the green talisman, slowly put away the talisman. This talisman is quite powerful. If he were to be hit head-on at close range, it would be difficult to escape even with the protection of the Green Water Bell.

"Three-element Thunder Talisman, this is the magic power of any three attributes of the five elements of heaven and earth, refined into three-element thunder and lightning. Although its power is not as strong as the real thunder of heaven and earth, it is also a very powerful talisman among the second-level low-grade talismans. Keeping one of this talisman on you can be of some use."

A second-level talisman is worth about 200 to 300 spirit stones. A relatively rare one like the Three-element Thunder Talisman should be able to sell for about 280 spirit stones in the market. This time, the success rate of making talismans has been improved a lot. Naturally, I have to take one talisman and give the remaining two to the customers. It is enough for them. After all, if this kind of rare talisman is really found by a half-baked second-level talisman maker, it is likely to be wasted. Song Qingming can give them two, and they are all grateful.

In this way, Song Qingming began to be busy with the very interesting task of making talismans all day long, constantly enriching his own talisman types. If he continues like this, it is estimated that his talisman making skills will have another breakthrough in another year or two.

Just as Song Qingming was working hard, a sound transmission note suddenly flew in from outside the cave. Seeing that it was his sixth uncle Song Changfeng looking for him, Song Qingming quickly put down the talisman pen in his hand and walked out of the cave gate.
