Chapter 117 Drawing a Talisman, Starting a Life of Immortality From Scratch
Bai Yu had previously obtained a copy of "Initial Interpretation of Talismans" and had always wanted to draw immortal talismans.
Unfortunately, immortal talismans cannot be drawn casually.
Special talisman paper, cinnabar and even talisman pens are required.
Bai Yu could only stare. Today he finally met the Immortal Talisman Paper.
He asked calmly:
"Fellow Taoist, how do you sell this talisman?"
The stall owner is a middle-aged and beautiful woman who still retains her charm. She responded skillfully:
"One stack of low-grade spiritual stones. If sold individually, one mixed spiritual stone and two talismans."
In the world of immortality, the common currency is called spirit stone, which is a special ore containing spiritual energy.
Spiritual stones are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade.
One middle-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and one high-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones.
However, there is also a kind of miscellaneous spirit stone that is popular among low-level Qi refiners, which is the leftover material from spirit stone mining.
There is aura, but only a little.
One low-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for ten miscellaneous spiritual stones.
This information is all obtained from the memory of Wusheng Shuangsha.
The landlady diligently handed over a piece of talisman and said:
"Young Taoist, take a look, my talisman paper is made of silver pulp grass. It can accommodate all kinds of spiritual power and is of high quality."
Bai Yu touched it and found that the talisman paper was indeed very smooth, and the surface was glowing with a faint silver light.
He handed the talisman back and said noncommittally:
“The quality is okay, but the price is a bit expensive.”
Seeing this, the proprietress was really frightened by Bai Yu's appearance and said:
"I didn't expect that Taoist friend is still an expert."
"The price is indeed a bit expensive, but the quality of my talisman paper is good."
"Fellow Taoist, would you like to take a look at the talisman ink used to draw the talisman? It is made of five spirit rosin mixed with the blood of spirit beasts. One talisman ink only costs three low-grade spiritual stones."
"And this pekoe pen is made of white-backed mouse hair. It can greatly increase the success rate of drawing talismans. One pen costs ten spiritual stones."
Bai Yu is not short of spiritual stones.
Wusheng Shuangsha received more than 30 yuan, and Master Li received more than 100 yuan.
The purchasing power of low-grade spiritual stones is still extremely strong in Songyunfang City.
But he can't reveal his wealth either.
He frowned and said:
"Fellow Taoist, this price is a bit too expensive. A low-grade magic weapon-level talisman pen can cost you ten spiritual stones."
The landlady was not surprised but happy when she saw Bai Yu bargaining.
Those who are picky are the sellers, but those who are picky are more likely to close the deal.
She smiled and said:
"Let's do this. I'll give fellow Taoist a 10% discount and nine spiritual stones each."
Bai Yu said:
"Ten spiritual stones, one talisman pen, a piece of talisman ink, and two stacks of talisman paper."
The landlady was so excited that her flesh trembled:
"Good fellow, others are offering 20% off and 10% off. Fellow Taoist, you are breaking your bones and you are not giving me any profit."
Bai Yu turned around and left without saying a word.
According to his experience, if he couldn't take three steps, the landlady should stop him.
He counted three silently in his heart.
"three!"
"two!"
At the count of two, the landlady stopped him:
"Fellow Taoist, don't leave, just do as you say."
Bai Yu smiled faintly in his heart.
He has been in the world for decades and has never seen any bargaining scenes. He is no longer the stupid young man he once was on the black market.
He took out seven spiritual stones and two bottles of elixirs from his storage bag and said:
"Fellow Taoist, I only have seven spiritual stones, plus two bottles of Bigu Pill."
Bigu Pill is a common elixir for monks, and one bottle usually costs more than one spiritual stone.
In other words, the total value of what Bai Yu took out was less than ten spirit stones.
What he wants is this kind of effect, making people think that he is raking in so much money and that all his wealth has been emptied.
The landlady looked like she had eaten a fly.
But judging from the way Bai Yu was picking at it, he probably couldn't get any more spiritual stones.
She said helplessly:
"Okay, I'll just treat you as my friend. Today I really met my opponent. It's the first time I've met a customer who bids based on cost."
As she spoke, she handed over the goods neatly.
Bai Yu took the talisman paper and talisman pen, his face was calm and calm, but his heart was filled with joy.
Finally, I can start practicing the Immortal Talismans.
However, he was not in a hurry to leave, but walked around the market for a long time.
Along the way, Bai Yu's eyes were opened to various magic weapons, pills, spiritual beasts and spiritual objects.
In particular, he also saw a "Brief Introduction to Elementary Spells", which recorded several practical spells, which was exactly what Bai Yu needed.
But he didn't take action. After all, his current image is that of a stingy cultivator whose fortune has been wiped out.
After some wandering, Bai Yu left Songyunfang City.
After flying hundreds of miles, they found a cave to stay.
There are also inns in Fangshi, which can ensure the safety of guests.
However, one low-grade spiritual stone is required for one night, and food and other expenses are not included. It is still too expensive for ordinary casual cultivators.
Bai Yu chuckled and said:
"There will be spiritual stones, there will be magic weapons, there will be everything."
"As long as we successfully master the talisman-making technique, are we still afraid that we won't have spiritual stones?"
He took out a table from his storage bag and put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.
Lao Mo skillfully grinded the ink for Bai Yu.
Bai Yu took out another aromatherapy burner and lit some incense that could make people feel calm.
Then adjust the breath and meditate to adjust the state to the best.
These are all the talisman-drawing skills he learned in the human world, and they are of great use.
After a moment, he calmed down, picked up the talisman pen, infused spiritual power and began to draw talismans.
As he drew stroke by stroke, a red light began to appear on the talisman paper.
Suddenly, the red light flickered, and the talisman paper ignited without wind.
As expected, the first fireball talisman failed.
Bai Yu was not discouraged at all, and summed up the lesson.
"The first time I used the talisman pen, the control of spiritual power was not strong enough, and the spiritual power should be injected steadily."
He began to draw talismans again.
After failing seven or eight times in a row, he finally succeeded in drawing a fireball talisman.
Looking at the spiritual talisman with surging spiritual energy, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
[Fireball Talisman: A glimpse of the way (2/1000)]
A fireball talisman can be sold for about one spiritual stone. According to the current success rate, even the cost cannot be recovered.
Sure enough, in the hundred arts of cultivation, whether it is making talismans, refining pills, or refining equipment, a huge amount of resources must be used.
But Bai Yu is different. His greatest resource is life experience.
Add more points, add as much as you can!
So, he invested more than 100,000 life experiences and raised his proficiency in the fireball talisman to a point where he had achieved some success.
This time, his success rate in drawing the fireball talisman reached 80%!
This is already extremely terrifying.
Unless you are a master of talisman making, no one can guarantee 100% success.
Bai Yu was satisfied and drew more than 20 fireball talismans in one breath.
"In a few days, I will go to the market to sell spiritual talismans."
"When I have a profitable business, I can buy more spells and magic formulas openly."
Lao Mo, who was watching from the side, was jealous and also pestered Bai Yu to learn to make talismans.
Bai Yu smiled and said:
"When we earn enough spiritual stones in a few days, I will choose a cultivation skill for you. Lao Mo, do you want to learn alchemy, refining or something else?"
In the end, Lao Mo thought about it and chose refining.
That night, the man and the dog fell asleep together with hope.
