Chapter 253 Talisman Making

The two turned around and walked towards Taixu Inn.

Not long after, Shi Yue and the others returned to Taixu Inn.

After closing the door, Shi Yue entered the Palm of Heaven Space.

It has been two months since he left the sect, and the red cloud flowers have matured.

Shi Yue dug out the red cloud flowers from the spiritual field and cleaned them.

He slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a green cauldron flew out of it and landed in front of him.

Shi Yue took out a piece of spiritual charcoal, placed it at the bottom of the green cauldron and ignited it. The billowing flames soon submerged the bottom of the green cauldron.

Then the red cloud flowers, animal bones, ores and other materials for refining blank talisman paper were poured into the green cauldron one by one.

After half an hour, the spiritual charcoal was burned out.

Shi Yue took out five rectangular iron blocks from the storage bag. The middle of the iron blocks was empty, and the square iron blocks were the talisman paper templates.

Shi Yue squatted down and turned a pattern above the green cauldron. A stream of hot green liquid flowed out of a hole at the bottom of the cauldron and fell into the template.

After one template was filled with green liquid, he put it aside and took the second template.

After all five templates were filled with green liquid, the pattern was twisted back to its original position, and no green liquid flowed out.

Not long after, the green liquid in the five templates dried up. When they were turned over, five green talisman papers of the same size appeared in front of Shi Yue. These green talisman papers were blank talisman papers.

The color of the blank talisman paper was determined by the materials used for refining, and the colors were different. Shi Yue put in some more blue cloud stone when refining. The blue cloud stone was blue after melting, and the blank talisman paper refined was also blue.

It took Shi Yue an hour to pour out the green liquid in the cauldron. After the green liquid dried, it became blank talisman paper.

He made more than 1,200 blank talisman papers in total. On the market, 12 blank talisman papers are sold for one spiritual stone, so more than 1,200 blank talisman papers are worth more than 100 spiritual stones.

Shi Yue spent ten days to refine a total of 90,000 blank talisman papers.

After refining a large number of blank talisman papers, he took out the Qingyun talisman pen and a wooden table from the storage bag and began to practice drawing talismans.

Shi Yue had just started learning to draw talismans, so of course he had to start from the simplest. The fireball talisman was his first goal. He dipped a little cinnabar with the Qingyun talisman pen and dropped it on the blank talisman paper. A mysterious fire attribute rune appeared on the blank talisman paper.

He did not dare to neglect it and painted every stroke carefully.

A quarter of an hour later, the aura of the blank talisman paper under Shi Yue's pen suddenly became chaotic, with signs of a sudden rise.

Shi Yue was shocked and hurriedly threw away the half-finished talisman paper.

As soon as the talisman paper left his hand, it ignited without wind and turned into ashes.

This time, he failed to draw the fireball talisman.

Shi Yue was not frustrated by this failure. He carefully recalled the process of making the talisman just now, found out his shortcomings, put a brand new blank talisman paper in front of him, dipped the Qingyun talisman pen in some red cinnabar, and picked up the pen and wrote.

A quarter of an hour later, the talisman paper was mostly drawn, but it still ended in failure.

The third time, it was still a failure.

In a blink of an eye, an hour passed, Shi Yue failed hundreds of times, and his original firm belief began to waver.

The talisman paper he lost was enough for him to buy dozens of finished fireball talismans, but he still hadn't drawn it successfully.

"Senior Xiaoyaozi, didn't you say you would guide me in drawing talismans?" Shi Yue seemed to remember something and shouted loudly to the stone house.

"Shi boy, you can't bear it after failing hundreds of times? You are too fragile! This is just the simplest fireball talisman. If you need someone to teach you the simplest fireball talisman, I don't think you need to learn to draw talismans. Just buy whatever you need! Anyway, you are not short of spiritual stones now." Xiaoyaozi's tone was full of disdain.

"After failing hundreds of times and not succeeding once, who would still have the heart to continue drawing!" Shi Yue muttered to himself in a low voice, looking a little depressed.

"What's the big deal about failing hundreds of times? Forget the person I told you about? He failed 99,999 times before he successfully drew a fireball talisman. It was because of this unyielding belief that he was able to become an outstanding talisman master. Shi boy, let me give you a word, where there is a will, there is a way." Xiaoyaozi rarely said a few reliable words.

After hearing this, Shi Yue's expression relaxed, and he showed a thoughtful expression on his face. Others failed 99,999 times before they succeeded once, so he didn't believe that he would fail 100,000 times before he could draw a fireball talisman.

Thinking of this, Shi Yue regained a little confidence. He took a deep breath, picked up a blank talisman paper and put it in front of him, and picked up the pen and wrote.

An hour later, Shi Yue opened his eyes wide and looked at the green talisman paper with full concentration. Now he only needed the last rune to succeed.

When the last rune fell, a red light flashed on the surface of the green talisman paper, and a fireball talisman was officially drawn.

Seeing this scene, Shi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He failed nine hundred and ninety-nine times and finally drew the first fireball talisman. It seems that it is not easy to become a talisman maker.

Shi Yue put away the fireball talisman, took a blank talisman paper in front of him, and picked up the pen to write.

A day later, Shi Yue looked at the dozens of fireball talismans on the table, and a smile appeared on his tired face.

After a whole day of hard work, he drew fifty-four fireball talismans. Now two fireball talismans can be sold for three spirit stones in Xianyuan City. In other words, Shi Yue spent a whole day and only earned eighty-one spirit stones.

However, he consumed more than five thousand blank talisman papers to refine fifty-four fireball talismans. In total, he consumed one hundred blank talisman papers to draw a fireball talisman, which was a loss in general.

There was no other way. Shi Yue asked several shop owners who sold talismans, but they had never heard of the Tongmai Talisman. If he wanted to get the Tongmai Talisman, he could only draw it himself.

Although the Tongmai Talisman is not a high-level talisman, it is also an intermediate talisman. The talisman paper for drawing intermediate talismans is made from hundred-year-old spiritual medicine or second-level animal skin.

Monsters above level two are rare in the Tang Dynasty. Most of them can only be seen in some secret forbidden areas. Occasionally, a few of them appear, but they are quickly killed by local immortal cultivators. Therefore, most of the immortal cultivators in the Tang Dynasty use hundred-year-old spiritual medicine to refine intermediate blank talisman paper.

Because of this, intermediate talisman paper is rarely sold on the market. Basically, the talisman maker refines blank talisman paper himself to draw talismans. In other words, if Shi Yue wants to draw the Tongmai Talisman, he must use hundred-year-old spiritual medicine to refine intermediate blank talisman paper.

He doesn't have so many hundred-year-old spiritual medicines to squander, so he must improve his talisman making skills.
