After a trace of spiritual power was sent in, the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman immediately responded.
All the runes lit up at the same time, emitting a slightly dazzling white light.
The next moment, Lu Zhong saw the light on the talisman spread to his whole body, forming a shimmering light film.
"This light film alone can make me not afraid of arrows?"
Lu Zhong felt that there was something magical about it, so he thought about it and decided to try it out.
Only in this way can we understand the arrow-avoiding principle of the Qixuan Arrow-avoiding Talisman.
Thinking that this talisman only lasted ten breaths, he immediately found an iron nail and slowly pressed it on his palm.
At first it didn't feel like anything, but when Lu Zhong applied force, he suddenly felt like the iron nail was sinking into the quagmire. As the deformation of the film increased, the force required to keep the iron nail piercing was also increasing exponentially.
During this period, even if Lu Zhong tried his best, he could only make a mark on his hand and felt no pain at all.
The arrow-avoiding effect lasts for ten breaths, after which the light film disappears.
"It seems that the arrow-avoiding effect of the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman relies on this layer of light film to block the intrusion of arrows. I don't know about other types of arrow-avoidance charms. Is the arrow-avoidance principle the same as the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman?"
Lu Zhong had a feeling that the arrow-avoiding principles of other arrow-avoiding charms might really be different.
"Also, the Qixuan Arrow Avoiding Talisman is only a first-level low-grade talisman, and its arrow-avoiding effect should be limited."
Even in the world of cultivation, he felt that the talisman would follow...well, the law of conservation of energy.
How much spiritual power is input will determine how effective the talisman will be.
The same is probably true for arrow avoidance charms. It may be able to withstand a hundred arrows when encountering a one-stone bow, but the number of arrows that can be blocked by a ten-stone bow will be greatly reduced. Maybe there is a possibility of being shot by a bed crossbow.
Possibility of explosion.
Lu Zhong felt that he needed to know more about how powerful it could withstand attacks.
However, this can only be done later when you have time.
For now, his most important thing is to draw symbols.
While painting, Lu Zhong found that although the painting methods of different talismans were very different, they still had similarities in many places. He guessed that this might involve the so-called basic skills of making talismans, and he needed to understand them before he could understand the reason.
After a while, the spiritual energy in the body was exhausted.
Lu Zhong came to the kitchen, where a pot of green rice was already cooking fragrantly.
A faint aroma of grass seeds began to permeate the small kitchen.
After eating Qinghe Lingmi for so long, he also knew that although Qinghe Lingmi didn't taste good, it still smelled good.
"Just bear with it a little longer. The market will open in three days. When I sell the arrow-avoiding charms I drew, I can replace these unpalatable green rice." Lu Zhong thought in his heart.
He looked up, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
As soon as he lowered his head, he picked up the rice in the bowl.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day when Qingliu Market opened.
Lu Zhong had been looking forward to this day for a long time and got up before dawn to wash up.
After getting ready, he went out with the drawn Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman and walked towards the street.
After living in Qingliuxu for so long, Lu Zhong also learned a lot about the customs here. In addition to the birthday of the founder of Qingyangmen, the monks here also celebrate some special festivals and hold some festival celebrations.
Just like now, the Lantern Festival is coming soon.
According to the custom here, every household must hang lanterns at the door on the Lantern Festival.
It is said that after hanging the lanterns, whatever you do in the coming year will go smoothly.
Looking at it this way, it’s not much different from burning incense and worshiping gods.
Lu Zhong didn't believe this. He was already a monk pursuing immortality, so why should he be superstitious?
"Well, how about I buy two lanterns too?"
"It's not superstitious, I just would rather believe it exists than..."
Thinking about it, he laughed to himself.
It didn't take long for Lu Zhong to choose a place to set up his stall.
It's next to a grocery store, and there happens to be a small space for a stall.
He has placed it here several times, and every time he has sold out all the talismans he brought, it can be regarded as his Feng Shui treasure.
As soon as Lu Zhong unfolded the spread, the clerk from the grocery store came out.
This grocery store sells a lot of things, but the products are basically for monks, so the shop clerk hired a practitioner, a young man with five spiritual roots, only fifteen years old.
Seeing Lu Zhong, the waiter greeted him warmly.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you here to set up a stall again today?"
"Yes, it's the Lantern Festival soon. I want to take advantage of this time to sell more..."
Seeing that it was still early and the streets were still sparsely crowded, Lu Zhong started chatting with him.
The content of the chat didn't make much sense, it was basically just some gossip that each of them had heard.
When the two of them chatted later, as expected, the topic came up again about women.
"I have already thought about it. Once I successfully introduce Qi into my body and reach the first level of Qi refining, I will go back to my hometown and marry a wife." The man grinned and then talked about his plans. He was already planning to buy land and property.
.
As Lu Zhong listened, he couldn't help but think of a rumor from the past few days.
"Perhaps in the massacred mortal village, there will be monks like him living in seclusion. If this is really the case, I wonder what that person would think when facing the soul-calling flag in the hands of the demon cultivator?"
Are you looking at your wife and children being slaughtered, falling to the ground and hating your own powerlessness?
I still regret that I gave up on practice and didn’t continue to persevere...
Or perhaps, the pity should be those monks who insist on practicing but never achieve anything.
They may have neither enjoyed the joy of the bridal chamber nor experienced what it feels like to have children and grandchildren around their knees.
The end of pursuing immortality is probably just to die in a different way.
Either he was killed by a demon cultivator, he died in an unknown corner, or he was displeased by a certain great cultivator and wiped away with a slap.
"What's the use of thinking so much, it's better to just accept the situation as it comes."
Lu Zhong laughed to himself and did not continue to think wildly. He continued to listen to the clerk's explanation of how to purchase land.
Not long after, a customer came to the grocery store, and the chat between the two came to an end.
Lu Zhong waited for a while and quickly sold an arrow avoidance charm.
Regarding the pricing of the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman, he had also carefully inquired about it two days ago.
This talisman is a first-level low-grade talisman. Its target customers are only those casual cultivators who often venture in the wild. It is a talisman with a small sales volume but good profits. Even an ordinary arrow-avoiding talisman can be sold for eight talismans.
And his Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman can even be sold for ten talismans.
Excluding the cost of talisman paper, runes and ink, as well as the consumption of spiritual energy necessary to draw the talisman, Lu Zhong felt that by selling the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman, his monthly income in spiritual stones could reach double digits.
After careful calculation, there are about twelve or thirteen coins.
It is only five to six spiritual stones higher than simply drawing a cleansing talisman.
The reason is that although the time to draw the Seven Mysterious Arrow Avoidance Talisman is shorter, the spiritual power and energy required are greatly increased compared to the former.
Therefore, despite the extremely high profit of a single arrow-avoiding talisman, the actual output of the finished talisman is actually less.
However, Lu Zhong was still shocked by this result.
Before I knew it, I had achieved my goal of double-digit monthly income!
