Lu Zhong wore a black cassock and walked out of the cassock shop.
"It feels good to wear. It seems that these two hundred spirit stones were not wasted."
He touched the cassock on his body. It had a thick texture like metal wire. The cassock was as smooth as silk and satin, and it was not too heavy to wear. It was similar to the previous monk's robe.
As a low-grade robe, this Lingfeng robe only has two magical powers: dust protection and wind protection.
Needless to say, it is to avoid dust. This is the basic function of the cassock. It can keep the cassock clean and new for a long time.
As for sheltering from the wind, it is not about resolving wind resistance.
After inputting the spiritual energy stimulation method to avoid the wind, the robe will form a hemispherical wind shelter directly in front. Compared with the human body with great wind resistance, the wind resistance of the whole body of the wind shelter will be significantly smaller due to its shape.
On the way back to the bamboo forest courtyard, Lu Zhong gave it a try.
Use the light body technique and then sprint with all your strength. You can feel that running is much easier than before.
As for the specific improvement, this still needs to be tested outside the city to get an accurate answer.
…
Huang Shuyuan's experience also reminded Lu Zhong.
The income of casual cultivators and talisman makers basically depends entirely on talisman making.
Talisman makers who are only good at drawing one kind of talismans have extremely poor ability to withstand risks once the market fluctuates violently. If they spend a lot of money without saving any savings, they may even be knocked back to their original shape.
For example, he can only draw best-selling items like exorcism talismans among the first-level mid-grade talismans now.
If we encounter extreme circumstances, for example, the Lieyang Stone is completely controlled by merchants, or even more extreme, the Jinhong Sect issues a talisman franchise order, and they are only allowed to sell talismans in Yanlingshanfang City, etc.
Once something like this happens, Lu Zhong's source of income will immediately drop sharply, or even to zero.
In order to prevent this kind of situation, it is necessary to take precautions to learn several different kinds of talismans, or to develop other financial resources.
As for opening up new sources of income, he focused on the spirit-seeking rats.
As long as the yellow jade rat transforms into a spirit-seeking rat, you can start to use its spirit-seeking talent to search for spiritual objects.
Spiritual elixirs, spiritual minerals, spiritual trees... are all search targets for spirit-seeking rats.
Although this kind of income is extremely unstable, it is better than having no way out.
As for what kind of talisman to learn, Lu Zhong has not decided yet.
The first-level mid-level talismans not only have three types: evasion of dust, exorcism, and lightness, but also other types of attack, defense, and auxiliary talismans, as well as secret talismans that are improved from ordinary talismans.
If possible, Lu Zhong would definitely choose to learn the secret talisman.
After all, the power of secret talismans is usually stronger than that of ordinary talismans, and so is the value.
The only secret talisman he currently has is the Seven Mysterious Arrow Avoidance Talisman taught by Li Dong, a talisman that is quite rare in Qingliufang and has become commonplace in Yanlingshanfang City. Almost every talisman maker knows how to do it.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong understood the reason for Huang Shuyuan's difficult situation.
According to what he had learned before, apart from the cleaning talisman, what she was best at drawing was the ordinary arrow-avoiding talisman.
Ordinary arrow avoidance charms can be sold very well in Qingliufang without any effort.
But once they arrived in Yanlingshanfang City, under the crowds of a large number of Seven Mysterious Arrow Avoiding Talismans, if the drawn Arrow Avoiding Talisman was not sold at a low price, then the sales volume could be said to be almost zero.
Price cuts will reduce profits, which will lead to a series of problems.
Whether Huang Shuyuan can get out of this difficulty depends on whether she can learn how to draw other talismans before her savings are exhausted.
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Lu Zhong continued to think about what kind of talisman he should learn.
Considering that the purpose of learning is only to prevent risks, the first consideration when choosing a new talisman is not the profit margin of the talisman, but the practicality of the talisman.
If there were no other accidents, he would only paint for his own use after learning it, and it was unlikely that he would sell it.
The most profitable talisman, such as the exorcism talisman, can be said to be unique among the first-order mid-grade talismans. Other first-order mid-grade talismans have higher profits than this one, but the stability of the income is far inferior.
.
In view of the above considerations, Lu Zhong decided to learn the Mirror Talisman.
The mirror image talisman is a first-level mid-level auxiliary talisman. When activated, it can condense a light and shadow mirror image similar to itself. The mirror image can imitate every move of the main body, and can even simulate the aura on the body when casting a spell.
Ordinary sword slashes are ineffective against light and shadow, and only spells can destroy light and shadow mirror images.
This talisman is used to deal with monks, and it basically only serves to confuse them.
Especially when meeting monks who have learned the art of telepathy, they can see the true form and mirror image at a glance.
But if this talisman is used to deal with monsters, it can have extremely good effects.
With the low intelligence of the monster beast, it is still impossible to tell the difference between the original body and the mirror image.
As far as Lu Zhong knows, there is a way to hunt monsters that is to first make the monster crazy, then use the mirror image condensed by the mirror charm to continue to harass, hide in the dark until the crazy monster is completely exhausted, and then come out to kill the monster
Behead.
In this way, you can easily hunt animals.
…
After deciding to learn the mirror talisman, Lu Zhong went to the bookstore and bought a talisman-making book.
A talisman-making book like this that only records one type of talisman and talisman is not expensive. Even if it records the method of making a mirror image talisman of a first-level mid-grade talisman, the price of each book in the bookstore is only five spirit stones.
The Talisman Making Book gives detailed graphics of the mirror talisman, especially the talisman head and talisman gallbladder.
Each stroke is taught how to draw, but there is no explanation as to why it should be drawn this way.
This is a test of the basic skills of those who are very knowledgeable. Only those who have received special training and have the basics of making talismans can understand the meaning of each stroke, and then find the correct strokes step by step through trial and error, and then successfully draw the mirror talisman.
.
Otherwise, you will just imitate the cat and the tiger, which will greatly increase the difficulty of learning.
Unless you spend a lot of money to hire someone for guidance, the only way to learn how to make a new talisman from a talisman-making book without knowing the meaning of writing is to spend more time and money.
...
Three days passed as soon as I studied this talisman book.
Lu Zhong kept trying during this period and finally succeeded in drawing the first mirror image symbol.
"Try the effect first."
He input his spiritual power into the talisman paper, and then popped the talisman paper out.
After a while, the mirror image talisman began to glow with colorful lights, and then all the lights gathered together and squirmed, finally forming a mirror image of light and shadow that was very similar to Lu Zhong.
Trying to cast the Qingyang Fire Rain Technique, Lu Zhong found that the mirror image could only imitate the aura on the body surface when casting the spell, and could not simulate the fireball bullets as well. Instead of holding a blue frost sword to activate the green frost cold energy, he could
The aura on the sword is simulated so vividly that it is extremely difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
A simple punch will have no effect on the light and shadow mirror image, but if it is swiped with a blue frost sword, the cold green frost energy it brings can directly destroy the mirror image, and it is also effortless.
"The next step is to gradually improve the success rate of making talismans through continuous talisman making."
With the improvement in the success rate of mirror image talisman making, Lu Zhong plans to only take time to practice occasionally in the future, and mainly focus on drawing the exorcism talisman and practicing magic techniques.
