The effect is gratifying, equivalent to refining two Yuan Yuan Pills in the past.
Different from the elixirs refined by fire refining method, the spiritual energy dispersion speed of elixirs refined by water refining method is obviously much softer, and the impurities contained in the elixir are also less than half of those produced by fire refining method.
Price aside, this Jade Ning Dan is indeed a good elixir.
After carefully understanding the changes brought about by improving his cultivation, Lu Zhong saw that it was just late at night and there was still a long time before dawn, so he took out the "Introduction to the Puppet Machine Beast" and read it.
It's not that he wants to take the path of a puppet master, he just wants to understand the way of puppets.
If you know more about the puppet mechanics, you will have a better chance of winning in future battles with such monks.
Turning to the first page is mainly an introduction to the way of puppets.
After reading it briefly, the more than 3,000 words in the opening chapter are basically about one thing, that is, the way of puppet is a path comparable to the path of sword cultivation, and you can also achieve something later.
This actually confirms the old saying, the less something is, the more emphasis is placed on it.
Lu Zhong was noncommittal about this and continued reading, turning to the Principles of Puppetry.
Although puppets and machine beasts belong to the same category, there are actually quite a few differences. If the strength of machine soul-driven machine beasts comes from the accumulation of rare materials, then the puppets controlled by the spirit hub are the opposite.
Pay more attention to the cultivation of spirituality.
"The cultivation of spirituality is somewhat similar to the refining of spiritual weapons." Lu Zhong thought of this and couldn't help but think of his Wuturuimu spiritual ring. He didn't know how to start cultivating its spirituality.
"Perhaps the cultivation of puppet spirituality through the way of puppets can also be applied to this precept."
With this thought in mind, I turned another page.
To prevent missing important information, he did not skip the page.
As the pages of the book continue to turn, Lu Zhong has a deeper understanding of the way of puppets.
Soon, he saw what he wanted.
Spiritual sacrifice method.
Through a special magic weapon called a "sacrifice", the puppet master can sacrifice the collected souls and integrate the spirituality in the souls into the puppet's body, in order to achieve the purpose of cultivating the puppet's spirituality.
Looking back, it is about the refining of sacrificial vessels. There are special templates for reference.
After looking at it, Lu Zhong found that it didn't seem to cost much to order a sacrificial vessel.
"If you have time, you must try the spirit sacrifice method."
After all, spiritual weapons are not as easy to refine as magical weapons, so the price of each piece starts at least five figures in spiritual stones. If he can really cultivate the spiritual rings into spiritual weapons, then he will definitely make a lot of money.
…
After dawn, Lu Zhong began to adjust the printing tools, and based on his previous experience in machinery, he made certain improvements to the tools to improve its printing efficiency.
I tried it and made sure the tool can print smoothly.
"Come on, give it a try." Lu Zhong said to the spirit-seeking mouse.
Yongling City is not like Yanlingshanfang City. The surrounding spiritual veins have been occupied by cultivating families. After hundreds of years of pioneering and development, no monsters can be seen within a hundred miles, and elixirs can only be found in the elixir garden.
, so the spirit-seeking talent of the spirit-seeking rat is of no use in Yongling City.
Before developing new uses, we can only let it work first.
After all, you can't eat for free, you have to work to pay for it.
The spirit-seeking rat rubbed its paws, stood up and walked to the printing tool. Its dark eyes were full of confusion, and its little head had no idea what to do next.
"Zhizhizhi..."
Lu Zhong sighed and didn't blame it.
"Watch it, I'll only demonstrate it once."
The movements are slow and standard, and the steps are broken down step by step.
This time, the spirit-seeking rat finally understood.
It started to operate again. Although there were still many mistakes in its movements this time, after some corrections by Lu Zhong, a talisman-making book was still printed.
Not letting the spirit-seeking mouse continue, he flipped through the talisman-making book.
The purpose of this is not only to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, but also to adjust the layout of the book so as not to look particularly cheap and affect subsequent sales.
After some adjustments, a new talisman-making book was printed.
There is no problem with the talisman book this time.
"From now on, you have to print five copies until sunset, do you understand?" Lu Zhong gave a relatively low workload to give the spirit-seeking rat some time to adapt to his identity.
"Squeak!"
The soul-seeking rat has a miserable look on its face. It still hasn't understood how it became a working rat, but it can still understand its master's words with the help of the slave contract.
So he nodded.
Lu Zhong, who had arranged the tasks, was not idle, and was going to go out to inspect the stall setting in the city.
It’s my first time here and I’m not familiar with the place.
If you don't do more research in advance, you may get into some trouble.
The first is the internal small market of Changlefang. Both merchants and casual cultivators setting up stalls in the market sell low-level talismans such as cleaning talismans and disease-repelling talismans. The consumer group does not match Lu Zhong’s target talismans.
If you sell the Qingyang Amulet here, the initial sales volume will probably be disastrous.
After leaving the small market, Lu Zhong came to Nancheng City.
The position of Nancheng City is slightly lower than that of the central area, but it is also a very prosperous business district. Even in broad daylight, the neon spirit stone lights here are still dazzling.
Compared with the small markets in the square, the value of the goods sold in the shops in the big markets is obviously much higher than the former.
When he came to the stall area here, he felt like he was in the Yanling Mountain stall area. The only difference was that the bargaining here was louder and more intense. This may be due to the huge pressure of life in Yingling City.
As a result, both buyers and sellers want to achieve their own goals.
This also made him secretly think about how he should set the price of the secret talisman so that he could maximize the benefits of selling the talisman with less effort.
"Oh, it would be great if I could be a hands-off shopkeeper..." Lu Zhong sighed and thought.
He recalled that the purpose of his coming to Yongling City was to solve the hidden dangers of the Four Spirit Skills at first, and even to find a way to join the Heling Sect. But now, due to the pressure of life, he had to focus on the spiritual stone.
Earn on.
Sometimes, Lu Zhongdu wonders whether he should change his lifestyle.
Or become a hunter for a living, or simply be involved in a series of troubles, actively or passively, like in a story novel. In this way, whether it is cultivation resources or opportunities, they will all come to your door. Wherever you need to be like now
Life is so tiring.
"It's a pity that reality is not a script, so how could there be so many inexplicable troubles."
He had heard a lot about the ancient secret realm, the Great Monk's Cave, etc. in rumors. Even though one or two rumors were so miraculous, there were many dangers and tests along the way, and it seemed that it would take nine deaths to get through. He didn't know until the final harvest was calculated.
It’s not as much money as the Talisman Pills wasted on the road.
In fact, the biggest gain is likely to come from the inheritance of your companions.
Lu Zhong was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a burst of sobbing coming from beside him, and it sounded familiar.
"Oh, is it her?"
Moving his eyes to the streets and alleys, he could see a thin girl inside. She was the little girl of the father and daughter who kindly gave him a ride that day. Now she was crying on a corpse, which had not yet solidified from the ground.
Judging from the blood, the man must have died not long ago.
Is it a vendetta, or...
No matter what the reason was, Lu Zhong had no intention of getting involved.
In this world of cannibalistic cultivation, there are many mortals who are worse off than the little girl. Take the struggling mortals in Yanling Mountain, any one of them would be more than ten times worse off than her.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a big man with a rough head walking towards the end of the alley.
That look was obviously meant to harm the little girl.
"Hey, can't you wait until I leave before you come out?" Lu Zhong sighed.
Originally, he could have pretended not to know, but now he couldn't ignore it. After all, he took a ride with them and there was no reason not to do even a small favor.
"Help...help, daddy, help me!" The heartbreaking cry came and reached the ears of passers-by on the street.
Some mortals stopped in their tracks, with expressions of unbearable expression on their faces, but were stopped by the eyes of their companions.
If you mind your own business, the body may appear in the gutter tomorrow.
As for the monks who walked by, they first cast interested glances, but after seeing that he was just a mortal, they lost interest. Although it was not shown on their faces, in the eyes of most monks, mortals could not be said to be of the same race.
Basically just a tool man.
When there is no benefit to be gained, the monk's attitude towards mortals can definitely be called cold-blooded.
"It's a pity. From the looks of it, she's still a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, she's still too small and her body hasn't grown. So she can only sell it to Zhang Ma in exchange for a few talismans." The big man with a big head stuffed his mouth like a chicken.
The little girl from Azabu mentioned it, looked at it for a few times and said disappointedly.
But when he turned around, he saw a young man dressed in black and with an impeccable temperament.
And the long sword that was flowing with azure light and exuding a dangerous aura.
"Immortal... Immortal Master, please spare my life!"
The big man with a big head didn't know how to offend a superior immortal master. He was so frightened that he peed like urine. Before Lu Zhong could take action, he lost his breath.
"Are you scared to death like this?" Lu Zhong dismissed the Chi Yang Magic Sword, somewhat dumbfounded.
But this was good, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Taking an extra look at the tied little girl on the ground, Lu Zhong condensed a spiritual power on his fingertips and cut the hemp rope open with a single tap. This was considered an extra help from him.
Without saying anything, he just turned around and left.
"Gululu..." the sound of wheels came.
An old woman with white hair and a stooped body in black clothes came pulling a cart. She was responsible for collecting corpses in Yongling City. When she saw the corpses of two strong men on the ground, she couldn't help but secretly said something bad.
Originally, this trip only required one corpse, but now it became two.
"Bah, bah, bah!" She spat several times at the body of the big man with a big head, and stepped on it a few more times to express her anger.
Her eyes moved to the little girl with dull eyes. A flash of greed flashed in the old woman's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the fear of death. She had seen the scene clearly and knew that the little girl might have something to do with the immortal master.
Relationships are not something you can provoke.
It should be noted that this lesson learned from the past has not even cooled the blood.
…
I went to the central area again, and there were also stalls there.
After careful inspection, Lu Zhong finally decided to set up a stall in Nancheng Market first.
The reason for this decision is because of the booth fee.
Setting up a stall in Yingling City is different from that in Yanlingshanfang City. That is, setting up a stall here requires paying a stall fee. Although each stall fee is calculated in talisman money, it does not matter if you add up to a small sum.
A small amount.
Compared with the price of one spirit stone per time in the central area, the price of ten talisman per time in Nancheng City is still cheaper.
However, he also planned to try it separately to see how the sales of talismans would be different if he set up stalls in two different places. If the gap was huge, he would have to reconsider.
Returning to the small courtyard by the river, the setting sun spreads dots of golden light on the river, which is a beautiful sight.
But soon, his good mood disappeared.
It may be that the spirit-seeking rat's intelligence is not enough, and it is really unable to support it in completing such a complex task as printing a book. Therefore, the final target of printing five books was only one.
The other four books all started to make mistakes as soon as they were printed, and the mistakes became more and more outrageous.
Analyzing the cause of the problem, it is probably that the ghost rat can only imitate, but does not understand how to make the correct seal, so that it gradually makes mistakes in the process of imitation.
"It's really hard for your little head." Lu Zhong touched the confused spirit-seeking rat and said.
So, how to solve this problem?
It is impossible to do it yourself.
Due to the rudimentary printing tools, the printing speed was destined to be slow.
Selling talisman-making books can be regarded as a way to earn spiritual stones. In addition to selling talisman-making books of Qingyang amulet, Lu Zhong also has plans to expand his business. After successfully opening a store in the future, he may sell items such as Seven
It is possible to make a talisman book using the mysterious arrow talisman and a talisman book using the cleansing talisman.
"Maybe it's time to support and cultivate a force."
Lu Zhong had already had this intention in mind. After all, what a monk has to do is to continuously increase his cultivation level, and then constantly break through realms, large and small, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of immortality.
During the process, it is not advisable to do everything yourself.
Many things can be completed with little effort and time at a small cost.
This will allow you to focus more energy on improving your cultivation.
"So, how to start?"
Lu Zhong thought, and a figure appeared in his mind.
Well, the first tool person is you.
When I turned around and arrived at Nancheng City, I saw that the little girl was no longer in the alley.
"It's really troublesome, let's use it to test the psychic tracing technique." Lu Zhong picked up the rag stained with the little girl's breath and used the psychic tracing technique that he had just learned.
It took some spiritual energy and three attempts to cast the spell before it was successful.
Due to the weak connection between the medium and the target, the tracing aura that appeared was very weak. Fortunately, it seemed that the distance was not too far, so it did not take much time.
After tracing the traces all the way, the trace finally pointed to a pavilion called "Yichun Courtyard".
