Chapter 302: The mediocre talisman talent
Although the various arts of cultivating immortals are different, they also have something in common.
Talisman is the foundation of all kinds of arts.
Any skill that involves the secrets of the Immortal family must be related to talismans.
No matter it is the unpredictable formation of ghosts and gods, the weapon refining technique that can turn the diamond into a soft finger, or the alchemy technique that can remove the waste and retain the essence, or even any skills related to spiritual power in the world, they cannot bypass the talisman. Two words.
Of course, the talismans mentioned here are not the talismans that ordinary people understand, but various magic formulas and immortal patterns derived from the talismans.
The simplest example, if there is no immortal pattern on the magic weapon, can it still be called an immortal pattern?
The props for setting up the formation, the various elixir techniques used in refining elixirs, etc. are all variations of the talisman.
Therefore, talismans are the foundation of all kinds of arts. If you want to learn all kinds of arts well, you don’t need to be proficient in talismans, but you must at least be familiar with and understand them.
Moreover, if you have extraordinary attainments in a certain art, then in the early stages of learning talismans, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Xu Fei returned to the room, and the two of them spread out the talisman paper, then recalled the contents of "Basic Talisman", then used the half-bald talisman pen to fill it with spiritual ink and began to draw.
"Basic Talismans" records the five most basic talismans, namely the spirit-gathering talisman, the decontamination talisman, the water-gathering talisman, the light body talisman and the flashing talisman.
Among the immortal spells, these are the least popular, but the spells used as an introduction to talismans are the most suitable.
Xu Jun refined it first, and he chose the foundation of the talisman foundation, the Soul Gathering Talisman.
This talisman is just the most basic spirit-gathering technique. Xu Jun had also used it when he was learning the technique, so he could easily master it.
However, he soon discovered that releasing the spell and engraving the spell into the talisman were two completely different things.
Halfway through drawing the magic mark on the talisman paper, the talisman paper suddenly cracked, and the talisman was naturally invalid.
Xu Jun frowned slightly and pondered.
After a moment of self-examination, Xu Jun found the reason.
When using the talisman pen to make talismans, the output of spiritual power is required. There is a problem with my control, no wonder the talisman pen and talisman paper.
Clean up a bit and keep working hard.
An hour later, the first spirit-gathering talisman was born in his hands.
Xu Jun felt a little ashamed.
If he is a first-level qi-training monk who has just started, then if he can draw a soul-gathering talisman in an hour, he is definitely a genius in the talisman.
But in fact, he is already a foundation-building monk.
The control of spiritual power and understanding of immortal magic far surpass that of Qi practicing monks.
It can be said that learning basic talismans with such a level of cultivation is a dimensionality reduction blow.
For a three-year-old child, if you teach him mathematics and recite the multiplication table, that is something that requires immense patience.
However, when you grow up and study step by step, and when he is sixteen or seventeen years old, and then let him learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and recite the multiplication table, it will be far-sighted and easy.
Xu Jun is like this today. If he is asked to learn calculus in one step, it is naturally impossible, but if he is asked to do the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, then...
Therefore, it takes an hour to draw the first spirit-gathering talisman.
It can only be said that Xu Jun's talent in the way of talismans is mediocre, without any surprises at all.
However, Xu Jun is not discouraged.
In the following days, the two of them stayed in the room and continued to live in seclusion. In addition to absorbing the power of free lightning, they slowly made talismans.
What surprised Xu Jun was that after a month, he was still stranded in this world and did not return to the main world.
Of course, Seo-jun has a clear feeling.
As long as he wants, he can return at any time.
But once you return, this journey of avatar will end. And if he doesn't take the initiative to return, he can stay in this world for a year.
Calculated according to the time ratio of 1:12, one month has passed in the main world.
Xu Jun also vaguely understood why he had to have the ability to clone after he established the foundation.
It is very strange for a Qi-training monk to be in seclusion for a month, but if he were a Foundation-building monk, no one would be surprised.
In the world of Lei Fa, the two of them worked together and spent less than half a year to complete all five unruly talismans in "Basic Talismans".
Although there are no surprises, there is no shock either. For foundation-building monks, as long as they are willing to invest time and energy, it is normal to achieve this step.
But by this time, Xu Fei's spiritual stones were insufficient.
During this period, there were calls for rent, but as long as the arrears did not exceed half a year, Baigudong would not evict people.
This fact makes Xu Jun quite satisfied.
Learning the various arts of the Immortal Family was also very laborious when one was unable to be self-sufficient at first.
The only thing that Xu Jun criticized was that when the clone entered the world, it was just a copy. Except for the life magic weapon and the space magic body, he couldn't bring anything with him.
Therefore, the large number of spirit stones he had in the main world could not be brought here, so the two of them were now stumped by a penny.
After some discussion, the two left Fangshi and headed deep into the mountains.
The hunting teams in Fangshi all go into the depths of the nearby mountains to hunt monsters, find spiritual mines or spiritual herbs, and then sell them in Fangshi to make a living.
Since they were short of spiritual stones and had yet to achieve anything in the way of talismans, the two of them just drifted with the crowd.
A hundred miles away from the city, there is a continuous mountainous area that is inaccessible to people, where monsters are active.
After entering the mountain, Xu Fei let go of his consciousness.
Everything within the five kilometers around you can be sensed.
When ordinary monks first enter the foundation building, the sensing range of their spiritual consciousness is only about one kilometer. However, Seo-jun and his three projections are different.
Although the range of the consciousness of the three projections is not comparable to the ten kilometers of the main body, with the blessing of their respective holy bodies, they have reached a distance of five kilometers.
Even if it comes to the later stage of ordinary foundation building, facing a five-kilometer range of spiritual consciousness, it will feel inferior.
The two of them spread out their movements and found the first monster after only a quarter of an hour.
A mid-level, hard-skinned giant rat.
This is a kind of monster beast that lives in groups. Although it is not very strong, its tough skin makes it difficult for ordinary Qi-training monks to break through its defenses.
Moreover, the hard-skinned giant rat has nothing valuable except for the hard skin on its body.
Therefore, if the monks do not have special means to deal with the hard-skinned giant rats, even if they see them, they may not take action.
Because as long as there is a battle, there will inevitably be costs.
Time cost, labor cost, spiritual power cost, talisman cost, etc.
If a battle ends with huge consumption, even if the nest of giant rats is killed, the hard skin on their bodies will be broken into pieces...
This kind of profitless battle is harmful and unhelpful to a normal hunting team.
However, in their eyes, these mid-level first-order hard-skinned giant rats are just walking spirit stones.
Xu Fei said in a deep voice: "I'll come."
His figure flashed, and in just a few ups and downs, he was already near a nest of about ten hard-skinned giant rats.
The pressure of the foundation building stage was suddenly released, crushing it like a hill.
These ten or so giant hard-skinned rats had suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. They were immediately suppressed by this huge force and could no longer move.
Xu Fei flicked his fingers, and wisps of spiritual power turned into fine needles and pierced into the ears of the hard-skinned giant rat.
The spiritual power exploded inside the giant rats' heads, immediately blasting their brain tissue into a pulp.
In almost a moment, a dozen hard-skinned giant rats fell down one after another, lying dead on the ground.
As a powerful foundation-building Leixiu, he could instantly kill several first-level monsters with just a few movements of his hands and feet, without any difficulty.
Xu Jun glanced at it and said, "I'll sell it."
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, fellow Taoist."
Xu Jun looked at the hard-skinned giant rat in such a dead state and shook his head slightly.
If they are sold to the market, they will definitely attract attention. Because of the injuries on their bodies, it doesn’t look like they died at the hands of ordinary cultivators.
It is not uncommon to hunt hard-skinned giant rats, but to hunt them so intact and kill all of them in a litter inevitably raises suspicions.
However, the two of them were well prepared before setting off.
Xu Jun pulled out the long sword from Xu Fei's body. It was not a legal weapon, but just a mortal weapon.
Xu Fei brought it with him just to deceive others.
Under the operation of mana, the sword flashed with light.
Under Xu Jun's deliberate control, a spiritual power covered it, enough to make the sword extremely sharp.
The sword shot out like lightning, and the swordsman's swordsmanship was fully demonstrated at this moment.
As his wrist shook, the sword suddenly appeared and chopped off the heads of the giant rats one by one.
Then, the true meaning of the wood element on his body flashed, and countless weeds automatically grew and mixed into vines, tying up these hard-skinned giant rats.
Xu Jun's body swayed slightly, his height suddenly dropped by ten centimeters, and his face also changed.
This is the most basic disguise technique. With his cultivation in the foundation building stage, a monk in the Qi training stage will definitely not be able to see the flaws.
He took off his long shirt, revealing a well-fitted shorts outfit.
Xu Jun picked up the giant hard-skinned rat that was tied together and ran towards Fangshi.
The reason why it is not included in the space body is also to allow the spirit stone to have an upright origin.
An hour later, Xu Jun walked out of the grocery store.
There are thirty more spiritual stones on his body.
It seems that hunting monsters is also a promising thing.
However, this was the result of a foundation-building monk who personally went out and spent most of the day coming and going.
And if they don't go hunting, as long as they show their identity as a foundation-building monk and become a priest or an outer sect elder in any sect, their salary will be at least several thousand more per month.
However, this is not what they want.
In this way for half a year, Xu Jun silently cultivated and practiced the art of talismans in the market.
Every ten days and a half, I go out. While eavesdropping on news, I sometimes go into the mountains to make some extra money.
And just half a year later, Xu Fei successfully eavesdropped on a piece of news.
Liao Ji successfully broke through the realm, was promoted to the late stage of foundation building, and came out of the border with a stable cultivation level.
Xu Jun's heart surged. This was Xu Fei's emotion.
He immediately understood that the opportunity he had been waiting for for nearly two years had finally arrived.
