However, right now, he doesn’t have much ambition, and his goals are not clear.
Still in a state of relative confusion, taking things one step at a time.
"Observe first, explore the Tianming Panel for a period of time, try to fully understand all the functions of the Tianming Panel, and explore various wonderful uses."
Shen Mo pondered and thought: "During this period, I will start a side job, learn how to make alchemy and talismans, and accumulate skills for the future expansion of practice resources."
According to his understanding of the world of cultivation, the so-called path of cultivation is a road of gluttony that swallows up the heaven and the earth.
It takes countless elixirs and resources to accumulate cultivation levels.
Therefore, making money, mastering the methods of making money, and achieving a balance of income and expenditure are the top priorities for cultivating immortality.
........
The sun gradually went down, and Shen Mo and Cao Ren were off duty.
The two peripheral disciples who were on duty at the mountain gate at night took over classes with them.
After the two left the mountain gate, they went straight to the square. He urged Cao Ren to get the alchemy scroll.
And I stood in front of the square waiting for him.
Not long after, Cao Ren arrived as promised and searched for several thick booklets from his father's residence.
"I brought the stuff, No, take a look!"
Shen Mo took the elixir scroll handed over by Cao Ren and looked at it for a while.
What Cao Ren found were four books in total.
Alchemy recipe and talisman scroll, two each.
The pill prescriptions are Qi-Returning Pill and Yang-Zhuang Powder respectively.
Shen Mo also knows a thing or two about these two elixirs.
The effect of the Qi-Returning Pill is that it can quickly replenish the consumed vitality for practitioners. It is the most commonly consumed elixir for Qi-gathering practitioners.
The price of five on the market is probably worth a low-grade spiritual stone.
The main ingredient in alchemy is orchid heart grass.
The Zhuangyang Powder has the effect of strengthening the body and cultivating the vitality, and is specially used by practitioners in the physical training realm to assist in their practice and strengthen their qi and blood.
The main ingredient of Zhuang Yang Powder is blood tiger grass, which is quite common and cheap.
Therefore, the market value is not high, and ten Zhuang Yang Powders are roughly worth one low-grade spiritual stone.
As for the talismans, they are used to make light body talismans and concentration talismans respectively.
The Light Body Talisman, as the name suggests, can be used to make the user as light as a swallow and speed up the journey.
The Condensation Talisman is specially used for practicing by practitioners who are restless and has the effect of calming the mind.
According to the division of the world of immortality, elixirs and talismans are divided into grades one to nine respectively.
The first grade is the lowest and the ninth grade is the highest.
These two elixir recipes and talismans are not of high quality and can only be said to be quite basic gadgets.
However, it is just right for Shen Mo, who is new to this.
"No, I accept the thing." After Shen Mo confirmed that it was correct, he took out the jade bottle from his arms and carefully poured out a Qi Gathering Pill, "I will exchange the pill with you."
"Thank you."
Cao Ren took the Qi Gathering Pill, smiled broadly, and hugged him with a fist.
The two of them quickly left, and Shen Mo hurried back to his residence along the stone steps.
........
After returning to his residence, Shen Mo began to rummage through the cabinets and found all his belongings.
After a careful inventory, he discovered that the original owner had left him six low-grade spiritual stones, fifteen kilograms of spiritual rice, two bundles of sealed first-order monster meat weighing about twenty kilograms, and forty taels of gold.
Twenty-four taels of silver, a long sword of no quality, but quite sharp.
In addition to these, there is only a pen for making talismans, hundreds of kilograms of animal blood, nearly 80 kilograms of sandalwood ink, and a talisman of yellow paper that is half a person tall.
The brushes, animal blood, and sandalwood ink, these tools for making talismans do not belong to the original owner, but were left behind by the original owner's parents.
It can be considered a legacy.
After taking inventory of his belongings, Shen Mo thought for a while and said: "If we want to make alchemy, we don't have the raw materials, so we should start by making talismans."
In fact, the medicinal materials required for the two elixirs, Huiqi Dan and Zhuang Yang Powder, are extremely cheap. As long as you go to the market and take out two spiritual stones, you can buy a lot of them.
What really made Shen Mo give up the idea of learning alchemy first was not that he didn't have the medicinal materials, but that he didn't have an alchemy cauldron!
Although medicinal materials such as orchid grass and blood tiger grass are easy to obtain, Danding is quite expensive.
Even if it is an alchemy cauldron that has just passed the quality level and is sufficient for making alchemy, you still need at least thirty low-grade spiritual stones to buy it.
All the belongings in Shen Mo's hands are not enough to buy a pill cauldron.
Therefore, compared to making talismans, the threshold for alchemy is much higher.
Of course, not all alchemy practitioners have specifically purchased an alchemy cauldron.
Some young monks who cannot afford the alchemy tripod often go to the market at the foot of the mountain.
There, an alchemy pavilion was opened specifically for those who were in a pinch and could not afford an alchemy cauldron.
As long as you pay the rental fee, you can borrow the alchemy cauldron from the alchemy pavilion to make alchemy.
"Making a Light Talisman..."
Shen Mo placed the scroll for making the talisman of the Light Body Talisman in front of the desk, and read it carefully several times.
It wasn’t until the melons on his back were thoroughly cooked that I started trying to make them.
"Puff! Puff!"
He picked up the pen, dipped it in an appropriate amount of sandalwood ink, and first began to draw the base map on yellow paper.
This process needs to be done carefully, any mistakes will cause the talisman to be destroyed and lose its effect.
Shen Mo painted very slowly, and it took half an hour to complete the base map.
Then, he began to dip in the blood of monsters to activate the spirit of this light body talisman. Only after completing the spiritual activation, the talisman will have magical effects.
"Buzz!"
As the beast's blood dripped, inscriptions were outlined on the talisman, and a buzzing sound began to emit from the talisman.
Soon, a message caught Shen Mo's eyes.
[You tried to make a talisman: light body talisman, but failed.]
"It didn't work." Shen Mo dropped the pen and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Half an hour's time was wasted.
But soon, new information came.
【Your Fu Dao Experience 2】
【Your Light Body Talisman Proficiency Level 3】
"Experience in Talisman, proficiency in Light Body Talisman?"
Shen Mo was slightly startled, and quickly opened the destiny panel and took a closer look.
Sure enough!
I suddenly found that my data had two additional contents: [Taoist Talisman] and [Light Body Talisman].
At this moment, under the data display, Shen Mo's leanness can be seen at a glance.
[Fu Dao (Gradeless) 2/500]
[Light Body Talisman (Unfamiliar) 3/100]
"The Tao of Talisman should refer to the ability to draw all talismans. The improvement of this data will greatly benefit me in burning all talismans!"
"The proficiency of this light body talisman should allow me to increase the success rate and speed of drawing the light body talisman."
Shen Mo quickly came to a conclusion and a smile appeared on his face.
The initial feeling of annoyance immediately dissipated and was replaced by full energy!
Who can refuse a life with a progress bar?
In fact, many people cannot persist, not because of laziness.
It's because I can't see any feedback.
And Shen Mo has the motivation of the progress bar, so naturally he will not slack off.
