When the first ray of morning light appears in the sky.
Inside the house, Shen Mo has been drawing all night without sleep.
"Twenty-three talismans, none of them succeeded."
He stretched, shook his head and sighed.
Last night, he didn't rest for a moment. He tried twenty-three times, but all ended in failure.
If it were someone else, and there was no progress overnight, they probably wouldn’t continue.
But Shen Mo had no idea of being discouraged.
On the contrary, he still maintained a very excited mood.
Although all the talismans he drew failed, he gained a lot of experience and proficiency!
After a night of hard work, his Talisman experience has increased from 2/500 to 46/500.
As for the proficiency of the Light Body Talisman, it has been improved all the way to 71/100.
Although none of the talismans were successful, the growth in experience could be truly seen and always inspired him to continue practicing.
"Again!"
After rubbing his sore palms for a while, Shen Mo went to his desk again to write and started a new round of drawing.
"Buzz!"
This time, when the blood of the monster beast dripped on the light body talisman and the talisman awakened, the golden light shone brightly!
A message that surprised Shen Mo came soon.
[Congratulations, you successfully drew the Talisman: Light Body Talisman.]
【Fu Tao Experience 10】
【Light Body Talisman Proficiency 30】
[Your proficiency in the light body talisman has been improved, from the original (unfamiliar) to (proficient), and your success rate in drawing the light body talisman has increased.]
"Successful!" Shen Mo was slightly surprised, then overjoyed.
After a night of hard work, I finally have a decent finished product!
At this moment, Shen Mo's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
I wish I could stay awake for three more days and three nights, concentrating on making talismans.
However, he looked up at the sky and suppressed his impulse.
It's dawn and I'm about to go on duty.
If you are late, your already meager monthly salary will be deducted a lot!
"Gone!"
He took out a package, packed all the materials needed to draw the talismans, such as pens, yellow paper, animal blood, sandalwood ink, etc., carried them on his back, and then set off.
"Try the effect of the light body charm!"
After walking out of the residence, Shen Mo felt something in his heart and put the light body charm on his leg.
"Tap, step, step!"
With the light body talisman covering his thighs, Shen Mo felt like he was riding on the wind, and he walked very fast.
"As expected of a talisman, it's really effective! Haha!"
The first time she tried the effect of this talisman, Shen Mo was a little surprised and a little satisfied.
Ignoring the surprised looks of many sect disciples coming and going in the square, he walked quickly towards the mountain gate.
.........
"You're here."
Cao Ren was already on duty at the mountain gate. Seeing Shen Mo's erratic figure, he locked his eyes on the light body talisman on his thigh and said in surprise: "Did you succeed in drawing the talisman last night?"
"Well, I worked all night and destroyed more than twenty talismans. I finally succeeded."
Shen Mo said truthfully.
"Have you been doing it all night?"
Cao Ren was not surprised that he successfully drew the Lighting Talisman in one night. After all, this Lighting Talisman was not an advanced talisman and it was not difficult to get started.
The focus of his attention was instead on Shen Mo's drawing of talismans without sleeping at night.
"Your enthusiasm is a bit strange." Cao Ren thought for a while and said, "You are probably thinking that after leaving the sect, you will come to the secular world and rely on this light body charm to pretend to be a ghost in the mortal world, and to deceive you, right?" Although the light body talisman is only one of the least popular talismans in the world of immortality.
But for mortals, it’s enough to scare them into a daze.
If you are thoughtful and know how to calculate, even if you only rely on your ability with this talisman, you can become a wealthy person in the mortal world.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Mo smiled and said, "Speaking of it, this talisman method is fine if you don't touch it, but once you touch it, you are really obsessed with it and can't stop."
"I have brought all the things I need to make the talisman. There is nothing wrong with guarding the mountain gate. You can keep a lookout for me in the past few days. While I'm watching, I'll also take some time off to practice a little more."
With such a leisurely job, it would be a pity not to fish.
Shen Mo has long made plans to fish for the long term.
On this day, guard the mountain gate.
Shen Mo hid in the pavilion, only focusing on drawing talismans to increase his proficiency.
As for other matters, they were basically left to Cao Ren.
Cao Ren didn't complain about this, after all, it wasn't a big workload.
From sunrise in the east, when the morning light has just arrived, to sunset in the west, when the sun sets in the west.
Shen Mo took some time off from his busy schedule and drew more than 30 light body talismans.
With the improvement of proficiency and experience in Fu Dao, Shen Mo gradually became better at practice and his efficiency greatly increased.
Wait until you finish guarding the mountain gate and it’s time to hand over your shift.
Shen Mo clutched the three successfully drawn light body talismans and was quite proud: "After thirty drawings, the yield has increased rapidly, reaching ten to one."
He thought and looked at his Talisman experience and Light Body Talisman proficiency. They also increased by 64 points and 88 points respectively.
"However, we are still in the practice stage."
"If you really think about it, the yield rate of ten to one is a loss-making business."
Shen Mo made careful calculations in his mind.
The general selling price of light body talismans in the market is that ten talismans can sell one low-grade spiritual stone.
The talisman paper, sandalwood ink, and animal blood needed to make the light body talisman are worth about 30% of the selling price.
In other words, the reason why Shen Mo didn't feel anything was because the materials were left by his parents and he didn't have to buy them himself, so he didn't feel bad.
If we really have to draw ten light body amulets based on cost accounting, the finished product rate needs to be around 30% to make the money back.
This does not include the time and energy spent by the monks who drew the talismans.
If you want to make money by drawing talismans to subsidize the cost of practice, the finished product rate needs to reach 50% to get started.
"There is still a long way to go."
After some calculations, Shen Mo's original excitement dissipated a bit.
After all, we are still doing a loss-making business right now.
However, there is no rush.
You have more time for yourself!
During this period of time, I concentrated on refining the light body talisman, striving to increase the yield of finished products and practice the proficiency of the light body talisman to a level of proficiency!
So, for the next whole month.
In addition to practicing, Shen Mo devoted all his energy to the work of refining talismans.
Day and night, guarding the mountain gate during the day, fishing for fish and making talismans, and working tirelessly at night, practicing repeatedly.
After such a long period of practice, Shen Mo's level of Fu Dao has also improved by leaps and bounds.
If there were no accidents, he originally planned to study for a while and improve his proficiency in one go.
Until one day, a young girl with long hair and a slim body came to visit, which interrupted his process of making talismans.
