Lu Zhong first picked the wick and made the flame brighter.
Then he took out the set of talisman-making tools and placed it on the square table that was wiped clean with a rag.
Due to financial constraints, the set of talisman-making tools left behind by the original person was very crude.
The holder of the talisman pen is made of ordinary spiritual bamboo, which is worthless scraps. The material of the pen tip is also very poor, it is the variegated tail hair of the spiritual rat.
Fu Mo is still the worst kind. According to memory, it uses pig blood from mud-shelled spiritual pigs. This kind of spiritual pigs are commonly raised in the world of cultivation. The quality of the spiritual blood they produce is extremely poor, but it can barely be used.
Make talisman ink.
Looking at this set of crude talisman-making tools, Lu Zhong thought to himself that it was no wonder that his predecessor's talisman-making failed many times. It was really difficult to make talismans with these tattered talismans... Well, now it's time to embarrass himself.
"If you still want to learn how to make talismans without a spiritual stone, aren't you making things difficult for yourself?"
He sighed helplessly. In order to collect the rent and avoid being kicked out, he had no choice but to learn how to make talismans.
In order to save talisman paper, Lu Zhong was reluctant to use the precious talisman paper to practice at first. Instead, he chose to dip the talisman pen in water and start practicing on the square table.
Knowing the correct steps to draw a cleansing talisman is not enough. If you want to draw a cleansing talisman, Lu Zhong has another difficulty to overcome, which is to draw the shape of the talisman correctly first. This requires the coordination of hand and eye just like painting.
.
After trying dozens of times in a row, all he drew were ghost-drawing talismans, which were not nearly as accurate as the cleaning talisman.
Rubbing his sore eyes, Lu Zhong reluctantly gave up his plan to continue practicing.
Drawing symbols cannot be learned in a short time.
"Oh, so poor!"
He sighed heavily and blew out the oil lamp.
Perhaps it was due to excessive consumption of his consciousness and overwhelming fatigue that he just lay down on the bed and actually fell asleep like this.
…
Not knowing how long he slept, Lu Zhong woke up in a daze.
Looking at everything unfamiliar around me, my head was still a little confused.
Until now, it was still hard for him to believe that he had just traveled through time.
"Hey, what am I doing?"
Lu Zhong was surprised to find that he was sitting cross-legged in meditation for no apparent reason.
It took me a while to realize that I had subconsciously started the "Breathing and Inhalation Method". This is a small method for entering the Tao. It cannot be called a real cultivation method. Its biggest function is to help people introduce Qi into the body and step on it.
road.
Once the introduction of Qi into the body is successful, the effect of running this method will be very little.
After practicing this method for a short week, my mind actually became clearer.
Even the cultivation level increased by such a small amount, which made Lu Zhong feel pleasantly surprised, and he quickly continued to run the magic formula. After running it for more than ten small weeks, his body returned to its normal state, which made him sigh "Cultivation to Immortality"
The magic of "gongfa".
But when he wanted to continue practicing the exercises, he found that his meridians were already aching.
"Okay, I almost forgot that I have four spiritual roots." Lu Zhong sighed helplessly.
Limited by the strength of the meridians, the number of times a monk can perform exercises per day is limited, which highlights the importance of qualifications. Those with good spiritual root qualifications have a higher spiritual energy conversion rate than those with poor qualifications, and their cultivation will naturally advance faster.
It's a lot, but over time it adds up to a huge gap.
There is no way to bridge this gap.
Spiritual lands, elixirs, exercises, etc. can all narrow the gap in qualifications.
It's a pity that Lu Zhong is just a small casual cultivator and doesn't have a single spiritual stone in his hand, so how can he get cultivation resources?
Apart from anything else, he doesn't even have a basic set of basic exercises that he can use right now.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but sigh again. He couldn't remember how many times he had sighed recently. He had no choice but to get up from the bed. He picked up the talisman pen and prepared to continue practicing making talismans, so as to master the cleansing talisman as soon as possible.
"Rent, basic skills, and..."
I haven't even done a few strokes before my stomach is already growling.
"It's really hard for a poor man to cultivate immortality!" Lu Zhong had been tortured to the point of losing his temper. He simply put down the talisman pen in his hand, took a ladle of rice, and poured it into the dark iron pot.
"Crack!"
With a snap of his fingers, a flame ignited at his fingertips.
Then with a flick of his finger, the flame fell into the stove and was extinguished...it was actually extinguished!
After careful inspection, I found that there was water accumulation in the stove.
Lu Zhong was expressionless at the moment and patiently cleaned the furnace before lighting the fire.
There was still some time before the meal was ready, and he was not in the mood to practice making talismans, so he opened the door.
When we went outside, it was still a little dark.
The air in early spring is still fresh, with a faint earthy smell after the rain.
Crouching on the mossy threshold, he began to recall where he was.
According to memory, this is a small market called "Qingliu Ruins". It is so small that it does not even have a defensive array. There is only a spirit locking array to prevent the spiritual energy from escaping. Its function is to collect the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual veins here.
stand up.
As a market, Qingliuxi covers an area of about 300 acres and is traversed by an east-west street. New and old buildings of varying heights are scattered randomly on the north and south sides, and a large number of casual cultivators live here.
Most of the casual cultivators are engaged in planting. Some grow low-level spiritual rice, and some grow perennial talisman grass to sell for money. They basically eat it in the soil. But there are also a small number of people who go to the nearby mountains to collect it.
Medicine, collecting medicine in the mountains is a high-income and high-risk job. If you encounter monsters in the mountains, you may not be able to come back.
Fortunately, Qingliu Ruins is owned by the nearby Qingyang Sect. This is a Taoist sect that acts fairly and fairly. After all, it still has to be shameless, so it is more suitable for casual cultivators to live here.
The original person may have chosen to settle here because of this.
"Geleng Leng!"
The wheels rolled on the bluestone road, making a dull sound.
These are mortal Yexiang women. They are all hired by the Qingyang Sect and are responsible for cleaning up all kinds of dirt here.
They are currently loading wooden barrels filled with feces into the car, preparing to take them away from the market for processing. The toilet barrels will also be carefully scrubbed downstream, and then returned to the original owner's house according to the markings.
When Ye Xiangfu walked to the door of Lu Zhong's house, she did not laugh at him because of the simplicity of his house. Instead, her demeanor became more and more respectful. She kept pushing the cart with her head down, for fear that the superior immortal master would be angry with her.
After some time, until the sky turned white, the whole alley became lively.
Some people went out with sad faces, carrying shabby little medicine hoes and medicine baskets on their backs, preparing to go into the mountains to collect medicine; some people carried hoes with sparkling lights, humming songs and walked to the spiritual field outside the market to start a new day's work; some people even
Listen to ditties in a warm house and enjoy delicious meals cooked by mortal servants.
Occasionally, there is a escaping light passing quickly across the sky, but I don't know which big shot is on the road in a hurry.
Lu Zhong looked at all this curiously. Many things in this world were so novel to him.
It wasn't until the burning smell came that he suddenly woke up.
After a hasty breakfast, Lu Zhong continued to practice making talismans after filling his stomach.
After a whole day of hard practice, he had a lot of painting experience in his previous life, but he was now able to draw the shapes accurately, and he was one step closer to successfully drawing the cleansing talisman.
As dusk approached, Lu Zhong suddenly had an idea and took out the jar of talisman ink and a piece of intact talisman paper.
The pen is like a dragon, and it quickly outlines every stroke and every stroke of the cleansing talisman on the yellow talisman paper.
All the tips for drawing this talisman came to mind very clearly at this moment.
The entire talisman is completed in one go, without any hindrance.
"It's done!"
Lu Zhong watched as the light on the talisman paper gradually faded away. He couldn't help but pick it up and look left and right. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect that I actually had an epiphany. Otherwise, if I wanted to draw this talisman, I would be afraid of it."
It will take half a month!"
After carefully recalling the feeling of drawing talismans just now, he took out a blank talisman paper, dipped a little talisman ink into it with a slightly fluffy talisman pen, and the spiritual power was smoothly transferred to the talisman paper through the tip of the pen, and he began to try to continue making talismans.
One stroke, two strokes, it will be completed before you see it...
"puff!"
The talisman failed to be made, and the talisman spontaneously ignited due to disordered spiritual energy.
Lu Zhong was not discouraged and took out a blank talisman paper again and chose to continue trying.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...
After failing three times in a row, he finally succeeded again.
After all the blank talisman papers were exhausted, Lu Zhong got three clean talismans that were successfully drawn.
He happily put them away, wrapped them in oil paper and put them under his pillow. After doing all this carefully, Lu Zhong covered himself with the quilt that had not yet been dried and prepared to sleep.
"Tomorrow is the day when the market opens, so I can sell the charms."
