He knows a thing or two about making talismans, and he can draw low-grade and mid-grade talismans. Now that Zhang Shiping has successfully built the foundation and his mana has greatly improved, he probably can draw high-grade talismans, but he hasn't tried it yet. I don't know how?
In terms of immortal planting, he was lucky. The yellow-faced old man gave him two books on spirit tea. Over the past few years, Zhang Shiping has gained some experience in planting spirit tea. But it was not so easy for him to plant other spiritual plants. During Zhang Shiping's career as a mountain guard of Biyuan Mountain for several years, he had already planned that the planting of those low-level elixir, spirit grass and other immortal plants would be done by the outer disciples or handyman disciples, and there was no need for him. Do it yourself. For high-level elixir, it is another matter not to be able to get it. This kind of movement requires hundreds of years. The elixir of hundreds of years cannot be supported by Zhang Shiping alone, and it needs several generations of sect or family. Human efforts, so don't take it to heart at this stage.
As for alchemy, after several years of hard work, he was able to refine the first-order jade tea pill proficiently, and he was barely able to refine the second-order jade tea pill. Now he has just mastered the green spirit fire, and he has not had time to get familiar with it.
With these three things, Zhang Shiping has already spent all his energy other than cultivation, how could he dare to do anything else? Zhang Shiping has a very clear understanding of himself, he is not the kind of talented monk, and he cannot be distracted and indulged in other things on the road of practice.
Among all the arts of cultivating immortals, formations are the most important aspect of a monk's talent, even a monk with a heavenly spirit root may not be suitable for studying formations. Not every monk in the Nascent Soul stage is a formation master, a formation master.
As for the weapon refining, it is closely related to the formations, and the refiner more or less masters some formations, otherwise how can he arrange various miniature formations in the magic weapon. Of course, a craftsman doesn't have to be like a formation master, he must be able to observe the trend of the mountains and attract the stars in the sky.
But some feng shui masters are no weaker than array masters in terms of geomancy.
In short, many arts of cultivating immortals overlap with each other, but the emphasis is different and the direction of practice is different.
Zhang Shiping felt a little embarrassed, but he was quite thick-skinned. He kept asking Senior Brother Wang about formations along the way. Senior Brother Wang kept teasing him, but Zhang Shiping asked some questions about formations. Must answer.
Although Zhang Shiping didn't have the idea of becoming an array mage, but if he had the opportunity to understand, he would naturally not miss it. What's more, the obvious knife-mouthed and bean curd heart of Senior Brother Wang is not like Senior Brother Ma who fell into the eyes of money in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. Everything needs money.
When the two arrived in front of the steps of the Beast Mountain Hall, this senior brother Wang finally got impatient. He reached out and wiped the storage bag, took out a jade slip and threw it to Zhang Shiping, "This is the first solution to the formation that senior brother organized. Take a look when you have time, and don’t ask any more questions if you don’t understand.”
"This is the elixir that the younger brother refined in his spare time. I hope the older brother will not dislike it." After Zhang Shiping took the jade slip, he flipped his hands and took out a bottle of elixir from the storage bag as a gift to Senior Brother Wang.
"Hey, it's still a first-tier middle-grade pill, this smell." Senior Brother Wang took the jade bottle without even being polite, pulled out the red cloth cork and sniffed it, "it's a pill for improving mana."
Senior Brother Wang glanced at Zhang Shiping, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't take advantage of you, these are some formation techniques I compiled, you can take a look at them when you have time." After speaking, he took out another jade slip from the storage bag .
Zhang Shiping took the jade slips, feeling a little proud in his heart, and his face was full of gratitude.
At this moment, Zhang Shiping felt the jade card in his bosom was slightly hot, and Senior Brother Wang took it out first, and penetrated into the jade card with his spiritual sense, and said to Zhang Shiping: "Junior Zhang, look at the jade card, the master uncle has recorded it again." Do you know a new foundation-building fellow Taoist called Su Shuang?"
"I don't know." As soon as Zhang Shiping heard Senior Brother Wang say this, he immediately searched for the jade token. After seeing the person, he suddenly realized that it was him. The head of Chang sent Su Shuang's image to the foundation cultivator Yu Yu who was within the scope of the sect. among the cards.
Zhang Shiping saw very concise information and accompanying images in the jade card. The name is written on it - Su Shuang, Lingshan - Moyun Mountain. He compared his own information, and it was similar.
The two of them didn't know each other, so naturally they didn't care too much, they stepped on the stone steps of the Beast Mountain Hall, and they entered the hall.
After chatting for a while, a black-clothed disciple from the outer sect came over with a cage. Inside was a khaki scaled monster that was three times bigger than a normal adult's fist. It looked similar to a pangolin, except The claws of the spirit beast were very sharp, and it quickly cut the spirit stone in the cage into small pieces, and stuffed it into its mouth like a squirrel.
Not long after Zhang Shiping saw this spirit-seeking armored beast, it had already eaten a low-grade spirit stone. It lay in the cage in a daze, without looking at the other people in the hall, and fell asleep on its stomach.
This spirit-seeking armored beast is a strange beast that chases the aura of spirit stones. Except for the attack of its claws, it is similar to other low-grade spirit beasts of the first rank. This kind of spirit beast especially likes things that contain spiritual power, so many monks use this kind of spirit beast to find a suitable cave for them.
Nine out of ten new foundation-building monks will come to Beast Mountain to find this kind of strange beast as a help to open up caves. Zhang Shiping is no exception After Zhang Shiping took the cage, he took ten yuan Give the spirit stone to Senior Brother Wang, this is the cost of purchasing this spirit-hunting armored beast, according to the rules stipulated by the sect.
After getting the spirit beast, Zhang Shiping apologized and bid farewell to Senior Brother Wang. Senior Brother Wang also knew that it was of great significance for a monk who had just established his foundation to have his first cave!
He didn't keep Zhang Shiping any longer, and sent Zhang Shiping out of the hall, just met Su Shuang who was going to register with the head of the sect, and immediately flew to Beast Mountain.
Senior Brother Wang saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator coming, so he went to receive others first, and Zhang Shiping happened to drive the flying magic weapon away.
Zhang Shiping flew northward for a long time, landed after arriving at Yekun Mountain, and immediately released the spirit-seeking beast in the cage, but the spirit-seeking beast did not come out directly, and it was still lying in the cage, perhaps because it ate the spirit stone. It's too much, otherwise I wouldn't fall asleep like this.
Zhang Shiping helplessly rubbed the fur of the spirit beast, pinched the nape of its neck, and threw it on the ground. Then the spirit beast turned its body, half stood up, looked left and right, and finally picked a direction and started running.
Zhang Shiping locked on this strange beast tightly with his spiritual sense, no matter how this spirit-seeking armored beast walked through the mountain, Zhang Shiping knew exactly where it was.
After a while, Zhang Shiping followed the spirit-seeking beast from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and finally the spirit-seeking beast stopped in front of a smooth stone wall, digging with its sharp claws.
The spirit-seeking armored beast was too small, and the digging speed was too slow. Zhang Shiping took it back and put it in the cage. A big hole came out.
Every time Zhang Shiping dug a small section, he released the spirit-seeking armored beast, judged the direction, and found that the direction was correct, so he dug in slowly.
