There are three thousand avenues, all of which can lead to eternal life.
The same goes for these side jobs in the world of cultivating immortals. There is no distinction between them in essence, but there is a huge difference in the difficulty of getting started in the early stages.
Refining elixirs and refining weapons, one is to seize the essence accumulated over thousands of years of elixirs, and the other is to seize the treasures of heaven and earth or the scales and claws of monsters, both of which consume a lot of materials. Without the backing of a sect family, these two side jobs are impossible.
Do not think.
Beast control and spiritual cultivation may seem very different, but in fact they have the same core.
Whether it is cultivating spiritual beasts or planting elixirs, as long as you follow the rules, there is basically no risk of failure. However, the benefits come too slowly, and the time cost paid by the cultivators has been heavy in the past. In fact, it is more suitable for the operation of the cultivating forces that own the territory.
As for formations and making talismans, the former is profound and difficult to understand. Although the various materials required are not expensive, they are consumed in huge amounts.
Fortunately, even if the formation fails, only a few of these materials will be damaged, otherwise playing the formation will consume more spiritual stones than refining elixirs and refining weapons.
In fact, Luo Hong is very interested in the art of formation. After all, among the six major side jobs, formation is the most intuitive way to show the principles of heaven and earth, and it is also the one with the lowest requirements for the practitioner's cultivation.
Even those who are cultivating immortals in the Qi Refining Stage may not be able to comprehend the grand formation that amazes the old monsters in the Nascent Soul Stage.
The reason why Luo Hong retreated to making talismans was because he was short of money.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: Eat your stomach first, and then pursue art.
...
After entering Fangshi, Luo Hong went straight to Tiangong Building, which is a large store that specializes in selling the output of various side jobs of cultivating immortals. It is also where the immortal cultivators purchase raw materials for various side jobs.
The cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining is still too low in the world of immortality, and Luo Hong does not have any powerful treasures on his body, so although this city is controlled by Huang Maple Valley, he still made the six words "quick in, quick out, quick back"
policy.
Like most large shops, Tiangong Building is divided into two floors. The downstairs is where ordinary goods are sold, while the upper floors store high-priced boutiques and even treasures.
In this way, immortal cultivators with greatly different cultivation levels can be separated, allowing both parties to purchase goods more freely.
Luo Hong had no intention of going to the second floor. He just glanced at the dazzling array of merchandise on the first floor. He went directly to the clerk and reported what he wanted.
"Guest, are you sure you want 2,000 pieces of yellow talisman paper, but you only want a jar of Black Cloud Frog demon blood? That jar of demon blood can only be used to make about twenty talismans!"
All immortal cultivators buy the materials for making talismans in sets. The young disciple from Huang Maple Valley in front of him bought a storage bag of the cheapest yellow talisman paper, but only one talisman ink for the best water talisman.
A little bit.
There was a huge difference between the talisman paper and the talisman ink in terms of quantity and quality. The clerk at Tiangonglou really confused Luo Hong.
"That's right, get me another good talisman pen."
Luo Hong took out more than forty spiritual stones and piled them into a small pile on the counter.
That day, the construction worker immediately stopped talking and quickly prepared all the goods Luo Hong wanted.
After the inspection was correct, Luo Hong left the no-fly zone in Fangshi without stopping, and headed straight for Fanghua Garden with the Qingye magic weapon.
What Luo Hong didn't know was that in the dense forest hundreds of meters behind him, a man in yellow had been following him since he left Fangshi.
Seeing Luo Hong's imperial weapon gradually flying away, the man in yellow showed an extremely unwilling look on his face. It was not that he didn't have the idea of continuing to chase, but after repeated thoughts, he finally did not implement it.
After losing his prey, the man in yellow didn't leave. He just meditated on the spot. After about a stick of incense, a big man with a sinewy face came panting.
"Where is the fat sheep? Where is the fat sheep?"
"Humph, you came so slowly, even if there were fat sheep, they would have already entered the sheepfold!"
The man in yellow was in a bad mood, and his tone of voice seemed a little harsh.
"Uncle, I came with all my strength as soon as I received your summons. Why didn't you, old boy, inform me earlier? Do you want to monopolize it?"
The big man was not used to the man in yellow's faults, so he pointed at the man in yellow's nose and started yelling.
"Who the hell knows whether that kid's father or mother is dead at home? He can run away faster than a rabbit. He really dropped the spirit stone and ran away!"
The more the man in yellow thought about it, the more depressed he became. It was precisely because he felt that Luo Hong was very sophisticated that he did not take the risk of intercepting it alone.
"Did someone notice the business we were doing? Otherwise, how could that kid be so vigilant?"
Despite his rough appearance, the big man was actually a man with a delicate mind. Not only did he not quarrel with the man in yellow, he also thought about business.
The man in yellow was shocked when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said:
"It is not impossible. We have been intercepting and killing lone immortal cultivators here for many years. Although we are very cautious every time, some flaws will be revealed over time."
The big man: "The Tainan Xiaohui will be held again in three years. It's a big deal. I think we might as well go check it out in advance."
"Yes, it's better to choose a different day than to hit it, so let's go."
Both of them are decisive people, making decisions in just a few words.
...
Talisman making is the cheapest of the six side jobs. To make a talisman once, you only need a piece of talisman paper, a few dots of talisman ink, and a few points of mana. The cost added up to ten times is often less than a piece of spiritual stone.
Compared to refining elixir, which costs at least ten spiritual stones every time you open the furnace, it is a world of difference.
It is this kind of cheapness that makes most immortal cultivators who are short of money have the idea of making talismans to earn spiritual stones. Many of them take action, but most of them end up losing blood.
Just because it is extremely difficult to learn how to refine a kind of talisman, it is said that without tens of thousands of attempts, even the most humble low-level talisman cannot guarantee a success rate above the passing line.
In the spirit gathering array, Luo Hong made preparations to make the talisman. The yellow talisman paper spread out in front of him was made from the roots of the spiritual valley, so it was so cheap that one spiritual stone could buy a hundred sheets.
Price represents quality. Good talisman paper can increase the success rate of talisman making, so beginners generally use a dozen of green talisman paper with one spiritual stone.
Yellow talisman paper is used to save costs when mass production begins after cultivators master a certain talisman-making technique.
"The so-called talisman is a weapon that uses talisman paper as a carrier to store the mana of cultivators, and when used, this part of the mana is converted into spells through the lines on the talisman paper."
"Why is the prerequisite for refining the Water Bomb Technique talisman the knowledge of Water Bomb Technique?"
"And why can good talisman paper increase the success rate of making talismans?"
"What is the fundamental reason why the talisman paper will spontaneously burn and be destroyed after the talisman making fails?"
All Talisman Makers in the world of immortality use an empirical approach to look at these problems. It's not that they have no ability, but they simply ignore the past.
Is there anything else to say about a simple question like 1+1=2?
If you don't know the water bomb technique, you can't make the water bomb charm! Didn't you have a master to teach you?
Good talisman paper can increase the success rate, otherwise why would it be so expensive!
You have failed to make the talisman and still want the talisman paper to be good? You are thinking nonsense!
