Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Drawing basic talismans comes with ease!

At this point.

The fallen phones from the incense guests could attest to that.

At this moment.

Those tourists behind came up the mountain and saw so many visitors in the Taoist temple, seemingly engaged in intense discussions. They were all curious and wanted to know what was going on.

When they learned that it was Daoist priest Xuanqing chanting the scriptures, they couldn’t help but wonder. It was just chanting after all, why did it have such a strong attraction?

Just like that.

Those who had listened to the chanting once decided to stay and listen to it a second time.

Driven by curiosity, those tourists who hadn’t heard the chanting decided to stay and listen, wondering if the chanting really had such strong magical power.

And so.

When the time came to the afternoon.

Qingping Temple.

People crowded and rubbed shoulders in the front yard, gathered under the locust tree.

On the locust tree.

Xuanqing was still sitting on the top of the branch that stretched toward the courtyard, holding the wooden fish in his hand.

Boom-

Accompanied by the sound of a wooden fish.

All the people in the bustling courtyard stopped their actions simultaneously.

Quiet!

Extremely quiet.

Everyone stared at the otherworldly figure on the branch.

Boom- Boom-

“Taishang says: Fortune and misfortune have no doors, only people invite them.”

“The rewards of good and evil, like shadows following forms. Hence, Heaven and Earth have calculations: those who decrease will be poor and exhausted, often encountering troubles and calamities, people all hate them, punishments and disasters follow… calculations end in death.”

It was still the Taishang Ganying Plan.

Facing this familiar Taoist scripture, the laymen’s reactions remained the same as in the previous instance, unable to resist even the slightest bit.

This murmured chant.

Seemed to have a magical power, making people unconsciously indulge in it.

However.

Compared to the intoxication of the believers.

Xuanqing, on the treetop of the locust tree, observed the incense guests under the tree while chanting the scriptures.

He found.

When the incense guests’ minds completely indulged in the scriptures, incense-fire would appear above their heads.

And.

The power of the incense-fire contributed in this way was different from that of burning incense and offering prayers.

Burning incense and praying contributed incense-fire, which bloomed in an instant. This was also the reason why the amount of incense-fire power contributed would decrease when praying to the second deity.

As for listening to the scriptures, once the incense guests were immersed, they would contribute incense faith in a slow and steady manner.

“No wonder these incense guests, after listening to my preaching, would contribute more power of incense-fire than burning incense and praying to gods!”

Xuanqing understood and was also happy in his heart.

Because.

This meant that he now had three ways to obtain ingot resources.

One, do good deeds to change others’ fate, and get Human Merit.

Two, attract incense guests to worship and burn incense for their own god tablet, and get power of incense-fire.

Three, chant scriptures, let incense guests indulge, and then get the power of incense-fire.

Except for the first one, which required luck and coincidence to obtain, the other two could be artificially controlled.

At the hour of the Rooster!

Qingping Temple had already returned to tranquility.

Xuanqing had already cooked a small pot of spiritual porridge.

It wasn’t because seven days had passed, but he simply thought that Yang Ying, the young girl, had been busy all day and also faced the trouble of someone coming to cause trouble.

Gurgle-

Just smelling the aroma, Yang Ying’s spirits lifted, and all the exhaustion from a day’s work was gone in an instant.

“Thank you, Daoist Priest Xuanqing!” Yang Ying took the bowl and softly thanked.

“Take your time eating!”

Xuanqing nodded slightly, waved his hand, and then turned around and left.

Main house.

Closing the door to the room.

“Finally, I can devote myself to cultivation for a while!” Xuanqing’s mouth slightly curved upward.

Thinking about how he can now focus on studying the “Five Elements Formation”, his mood was extremely good.

With a thought.

He took out the “Five Elements Formation”, turned to the previous page, and began to carefully read it.

Although the book had only a thumb’s thickness, he had only read half of it so far.

It wasn’t that the “Five Elements Formation” was so abstruse and difficult to understand, but rather that the secret manual used the high-tech storage techniques of the cultivation world, with the content of a single page equaling that of an entire ordinary book.

Shh-

Turning to the next page.

In the quiet room, only the prolonged sound of breathing and the sound of turning pages remained.

Several hours passed.

He finished reading an entire chapter.

Next, he would activate the [Jue Sheng Qi Zhi] state to completely digest and understand this chapter’s content.

Putting down the secret manual.

Xuanqing closed his eyes.

“Activate the one-minute Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom state!”

[-60 Ingots!]

At the moment the ingots were deducted.

A mysterious feeling filled his mind.

In this state, his comprehension and penetrating abilities would be elevated to the limits of his physical body.

A storm of wisdom began in his mind, constantly filtering and comprehending the content of the chapter he just read.

One minute passed.

“H00-”

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

After the one-minute Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom state, he had completely understood the content of the chapter he just read.

However,

Understanding is one thing, but to truly master it, he still needed hands-on practice.

Next,

Xuanqing ground the ink after preparing the inkstone and picked up the Talisman Brush.

“Activate the one-minute Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom state!”

[Ingots -60]

In the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom state, his brush strokes flowed like a dragon, and within a few seconds, he completed a talisman inscription.

Without the slightest pause.

Earning ingots was not easy, so in this state, he wanted to refine as many talismans as possible, ultimately reaching the point where he had “subconscious” memory without the need for thought, which would be a success.

It’s worth mentioning that.

The reason he chose to read the content first and then activate the Absolute

Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom state can be perfectly explained by a famous saying.

That is: Success is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.

Activating the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom is equivalent to providing that 1% of inspiration, whereas the remaining 99% of perspiration still needs to be accumulated on his own.

In this way,

Xuanqing’s life went on, devoted to his secluded practice.

He read the “Five Elements Formation” book, then activated the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom for comprehension, and finally practiced hands-on to master the content of that section thoroughly.

Time,

passed away as he repeated these steps over and over.

As the saying goes, cultivation knows no years.

Soon,

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

“It’s time to go out!” Xuanqing looked at the stack of talisman papers piled up like a mountain next to him and put down the talisman brush in his hand.

Of course,

The reason he chose to go out was not to chant scriptures for the incense guests but because he had run out of the yellow talismans.

H

Spring Wood Talisman, Golden Light Talisman, Godspeed Talisman, Water

Spear Talisman…”

These basic talismans are now extremely easy for Xuanqing to create.

“Wait until I go out and buy some white jade, then try the more advanced jade talismans!”

Creak-

Xuanqing pushed open the door.

He left seclusion!
