As a sword cultivator, Su Anran would have to condense the sword talismans by herself sooner or later, so Tang Shiyun used the excuse of "observing and learning from the sidelines" to demonstrate to Su Anran how the sword cultivator made sword talismans.
Before this, Su Anran had always thought that sword cultivators making sword talismans should be a type of drawing talismans.
The few major handicrafts that have never changed in the world of Xianxia are nothing more than forging weapons, making talismans, setting up formations, refining alchemy, divination, and taming animals. Of course, in some works, spiritual plants, farming, and Feng Shui may also be added.
Categories like this.
But when Su Anran saw Tang Shiyun's actual operation, he discovered that the world was somewhat different from what he imagined.
In Su Anran's understanding, the way of seal script usually uses yellow paper, cloth, etc. as the basis for monks to instill true energy and spiritual power. The main forms include but are not limited to thunder magic, five elements magic, yin and yang magic, etc.
Escape techniques and so on. According to the grade, they can usually be divided into spiritual talismans, treasure talismans, true talismans, Tao talismans, etc. The higher the grade, the greater the power of spells contained in the talismans and seals.
But in this world, the traditional handicrafts of making talismans are not listed separately!
Instead, the science of talisman and seal script was incorporated into the branch of weapon forging and array formation - Su Anran had learned from the Seventh Senior Sister before that most array masters in this world would also have some skills in magic weapon forging.
They will not delve into this craft in depth, but at the very least all array masters must know how to make array plates - the production of this thing is not as simple as imagined and can be messed up casually, but
It requires some forging skills. So if there is really no talent in this area, then the formation master can only find a forger to forge a blank formation disk, and then engrav the formation pattern himself.
In the same way, almost all blacksmiths also know more or less about formation patterns. They may not be able to set up formations or break formations, but they still need to understand basic knowledge such as the principle of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, or the theory of yin and yang.
.After all, the principle of magic weapons is that unless they are materials that are born with Dao patterns, the reason why most magic weapons can be effective is actually because the caster burns the internal patterns during forging.
Of course, if you really don't have the ability in this area, the caster can also buy various types of one-time array patterns from the array layout master just like the formation layout master buys blank formation disks.
It can be said that in the mysterious world, formation masters and caster masters complement each other just like weighing weights and weights weighing.
And the talisman seals are merged into these two, which naturally means that as long as the formation master or the caster is not too stupid, they can actually create blank talisman seals - of course, if they master a little forging
and knowledge of array patterns, then in fact anyone can make such a thing.
This also leads to the fact that in the mysterious world, the bearing bases of most talismans are made of various woods or metals.
As for yellow paper or cloth?
Doesn't exist.
The sword talisman made by the third senior sister Tang Shiyun that Su Anran got before was made of wood.
It's just that after the sword talisman was made, it turned into a thin layer similar to paper - now Su Anran felt that this thing was more like bark. However, in view of the special circumstances of the mysterious world, Su Anran could only
Think of this as a characteristic of this world.
Naturally, Tang Shiyun was too lazy to prepare the materials herself, so she started with blank talisman seals.
Therefore, she took Su Anran directly to Lin Yiyi's house and rummaged through it to find five blank talismans: they were all metal bases, but she didn't know what mineral material they were - of course there were a lot of wood beside them.
, but according to Tang Shiyun, her strength has become much stronger now, so unless it is made of special wood, it may not be able to carry the power of her sword energy.
This also let Su Anran know that making different grades of talisman seals also requires talisman seal bases made of different materials.
However, it was rare for Su Anran to come to the room of eighth senior sister Lin Yiyi, so of course he would not return empty-handed.
He has not forgotten that the people who gave him a deposit before included people like Han Ying who were only interested in the notes of Lin Yiyi, the formation master.
Probably because he felt that Taiyi Valley was all his own, and the senior sisters from the martial arts sect were generally not in the valley, so Lin Yiyi did not arrange any formations in his yard and room. So it seemed that the third senior sister had already arranged eight
The senior sister's room was in a mess. Of course, Su Anran was not polite. She blatantly took a few jade slips and pamphlets, saying that she was interested in the battle method and wanted to go back and take some time to study it.
Tang Shiyun did not doubt that he was there, so she ignored Su Anran's actions.
After searching carefully, Su Anran immediately followed after seeing that Third Senior Sister had finished finding the materials and left.
Tang Shiyun did not choose any other place, but stood directly at the door of the vestibule outside Lin Yiyi's house.
"Generally speaking, there are some processes involved in making talisman seals. For example, you need to meditate, and at the same time, you need to be in peak condition, which means you must be full of energy and have no distracting thoughts." Tang Shiyun took out
A blank talisman seal, and then said to Su Anran, "If you want to make sword talismans in the future, you must choose the environment. Unless you are as powerful as me, then it doesn't matter."
Su Anran watched the third senior sister boasting without any trace, and lamented that she didn't have a calculator, otherwise she would have been able to press a few sixes for the third senior sister.
I saw Tang Shiyun gently raising the seal, her eyes suddenly turned cold and cold, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from it. Su Anran was caught off guard and was directly shaken back by this invisible momentum.
He took a few steps and then fell to the ground.
But he could feel that there seemed to be an invisible sharp energy emerging from the body of the third senior sister. However, due to certain rules, all this huge energy was sealed into the blank costume in her hand.
inside.
The metal talisman, which was originally about an inch, four fingers wide, and as big as the palm of half an adult's hand, shrank rapidly under the influx of this huge momentum.
It's like a fluffy poodle thrown into the water.
In the blink of an eye, the talisman seal became only two fingers wide and only as long as the ring finger.
However, the thickness has not changed much.
Tang Shiyun didn't say much, and threw the piece of talisman and seal to Su Anran, and then started to take out the second blank talisman and seal.
Su Anran stretched out her hand to take it, and felt a faint tingling sensation in her palm.
The entire sword talisman is still exuding extremely fierce sword energy.
"When the sword talisman is first made, the breath is not stable enough, so some sword energy will escape." Tang Shiyun said, although her voice seemed indifferent, Su Anran still heard the hidden meaning in the tone of her third senior sister.
A bit tired.
Obviously, the cost required to maintain the sword talisman is not as easy as she said before.
At this time, Su Anran didn't know that sword cultivators needed to use their own energy and energy as a pulling force to make sword talismans. Especially when making more powerful sword talismans, the consumption would be more terrifying, even if it was based on Tang poetry.
Yun has now been promoted to the level of Earthly Immortal Realm. Wanting to make five sword talismans in a row is a huge consumption for her. This is because Tang Shiyun's cultivation level is profound enough. If she were an ordinary swordsman, even if she
It is for making mid- to low-level sword talismans, and it is impossible to directly make five of them in one go.
There are even many sword cultivators who need medicine or external assistance when making sword talismans.
"You can take this opportunity to comprehend it." Tang Shiyun spoke again and gave Su Anran some advice, "After the sword talisman is made, the moment when the sword energy is still dissipating is actually the best time to comprehend the sword's intention... Although it is different.
Sword cultivators will embark on different paths of cultivation based on their mind, skills, habits, etc., but in the end they will reach the same destination through different paths, and they will have many things in common."
"I can't explain too much to you about sword intention, otherwise it will be easy for you to bear my mark. This is why the fourth child only taught you how to break moves before, but not the specific sword techniques.
.That’s because she doesn’t want you to be influenced by her and follow the path of absolute swordsmanship like her.”
"Absolute Sword?"
"Although the sword is known as the king of soldiers and has the reputation of being a gentleman, it is still a killing weapon in the final analysis. Therefore, the path of swordsmanship is actually nothing more than three words."
Tang Shiyun continued to point out Su Anran.
It's just that unlike Ye Jinxuan, although she is equally talented in kendo, her theoretical and teaching level is obviously inferior, so she cannot explain it in detail. She can only use "body memory" practical education for Su Anran.
In Tang Shiyun's time, many things had already formed a set of systematic knowledge that combined theory and practice, so it was not difficult for her to explain it.
"Ferocious, killing, and absolute." Tang Shiyun continued, "This also represents the three paths of sword cultivation. One sword breaks all laws, one sword destroys all things, and one sword destroys all spirits. The fierce sword suppresses people with its force, and the world
Everything in the world is indestructible; the Killing Sword nourishes the body with Qi, and everything in the world is indestructible; the Jue Sword uses the mind to cut off vitality, and everything in the world is indestructible... To put it simply, the path to sword cultivation requires the development of a belief.
A kind of lofty aura that would make no one else compare to me."
Su Anran was a little confused. He felt that he could understand every word Tang Shiyun said, but when all these words were put together, he didn't know what they were.
In his opinion, there seems to be no difference between destroying all laws and destroying all things? And there seems to be no difference between destroying all things and destroying all spirits.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand in the future." Tang Shiyun saw that Su Anran's eyes seemed to be spinning in circles, and couldn't help but chuckle, "But you have to remember. If you want to master the art of sword cultivation,
If you go down the road, understanding the sword's intention is only superficial. You must choose one of the three paths of swordsmanship... It's not that there are people who choose two or three, but these people often can't go far, so don't hold on to small things.
Children only do multiple-choice questions, I think all adults want it."
Su Anran was shocked, she didn't expect that the third senior sister even knew this joke.
Taking advantage of the time to popularize this bit of swordsmanship knowledge with Su Anran, Tang Shiyun also took the opportunity to rest and recover, so as soon as the topic ended, she began to draw the second sword talisman.
After a while, the second sword talisman was drawn, or in other words, condensed.
"Lao Si has been your sparring partner, and you also know something about her swordsmanship, so you can feel my sword intention and understand the difference between the fierce sword and the absolute sword... As for how much you can understand, then
It depends on your own talent
, neither I nor the fourth child can help you in this regard." Tang Shiyun threw the second sword talisman to Su Anran, "The only thing we can do is to give you some reference and give you some guidance to avoid going.
Wrong path and waste of cultivation time."
After finishing speaking, Tang Shiyun stopped talking.
After the five sword talismans were condensed, she even simply left, leaving Su Anran alone to comprehend the sword intent that was still emanating from the sword talismans.
This situation will probably last for five to seven days.
Therefore, even if a sword cultivator has finished condensing the sword talisman, he will not give it to others immediately. Instead, he will wait until the sword intention escaping from the sword talisman has completely dissipated before giving the sword talisman to others. This is also to avoid being cheated by others.
From this, he learned the swordsman's own way of swordsmanship by condensing sword talismans.
But Su Anran was one of her own after all, so Tang Shiyun didn't care.
It's a pity that Su Anran's talent may not be very good. Anyway, in these short few days, he hasn't been able to experience anything from these sword talismans.
He still doesn't understand what a vicious sword is, what a perfect sword is, and what a killing sword is.
However, he had heard a lot about the saying that one sword can defeat all magic.
Since Su Anran couldn't figure it out in a short period of time, he didn't continue to waste his energy on this aspect.
After he made sure that Third Senior Sister was not nearby, he took out something that seemed to be a talisman.
But this is not a sword talisman, but a transmission talisman.
According to the method taught by Lux before, Su Anran activated this transmission note.
"Hello? Moxi Moxi?"
"..." There was a slight noise.
"Is this thing broken?" Su Anran used such a fancy gadget for the first time and didn't know how to operate it, so she fed it several times.
What he didn't know was that the powerful man who had received the telegraph communication at this time was also confused.
It’s not popular in the occult world to start with “Hey, hey”.
Moreover, the Transmission Note is a communication tool, but it is not a mobile phone after all, and it does not have caller ID.
Under normal circumstances, people who use transmission notes have either communicated with each other, so they know who the other party is just by listening to the voice - of course, this can only be done by a monk who has opened his ears, because for the mysterious world
As far as monks are concerned, everyone's voice is different, just like fingerprints and irises, voices also have different uniqueness, unless they take some special elixir.
"Silly, bastard, Lux, what kind of crap did you give me?"
"...cough." Lux felt that he couldn't help but keep silent, "Are you... Mr. Passenger?"
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly seemed a little awkward.
"Ahaha, so you are here."
"Mr. Guoke is as humorous as ever." Lux's voice was a little helpless, "I'm still wondering when Mr. Guoke plans to contact me."
"I've been busy lately." Su Anran had already put away her embarrassment well, "Let me tell you first the information you asked me to check before... The junior brother in Taiyi Valley has decided to participate in the Tianyuan Trial.
.”
"Oh?" the voice on the other side said slightly, obviously very interested in the answer, "Can you know the other person's cultivation level?"
"It should be between the third and fourth levels of the Aperture Realm." Su Anran said.
There is nothing to hide about this.
Anyway, as long as he shows up at Wanshi Building, all the monks participating in the Tianyuan Trial will know about it.
"Okay, I understand." Lux expressed his understanding, "So... regarding the deal we agreed on before, it's those evil stones."
"I was just about to tell you about this." Su Anran said, "I just learned that this time I will be responsible for leading a group of disciples to participate in the Tianyuan Trial. When the time comes, I will store these evil stones at
In Wanshi Building, you can just go to the people in Wanshi Building and get it with the transaction password... Is that okay?"
"No." Lux replied directly without thinking at all, "This is the best."
"That's good." Su Anran nodded, "But there is one more thing."
"Please tell me."
"Do you still want the Sword Immortal Order about Guanghan Sword Immortal?"
"Mr. Passenger, did you get another one?" A voice of surprise came from the other side, "I want it!"
"I got one, but it's the price..."
"Money is not a problem!" the wealthy strongman said nonchalantly, "as long as you can get it."
"I feel relieved when I hear what you said." Su Anran also smiled, "Then take one hundred thousand Qi Condensing Pills."
"Okay, no..." Lux's voice stopped abruptly.
"How much did you just say?" After a moment, the voice of Lux was surprised and uncertain.
"One hundred thousand Qi Condensing Pills." Su Anran said word by word. This naughty kid just said that money was not a problem. Why is he looking so frightened now?
"Isn't it fifty thousand? How did it become one hundred thousand? Mr. Passenger, you..."
"Fifty thousand is the Sword Immortal Token condensed by Guanghan Sword Immortal when he was in the Soul Condensing Realm. The Sword Immortal Token I am going to sell to you is a new sword talisman condensed by Guanghan Sword Immortal in the Earth Immortal Realm." Su Anran
Talking about it, it would be unreasonable not to take advantage of such a great opportunity to make a fortune, "Can the Sword Immortal Order in this Earthly Immortal Realm and the Soul Condensing Realm be the same?"
"But this... one hundred thousand Qi Condensing Pills..."
One hundred thousand Qi Condensing Pills, this is not a small amount.
According to the conventional method of storing pills in the Xuan Realm, ten Qi-Condensing Pills are in one bottle, and one hundred thousand Qi-Condensing Pills is equivalent to ten thousand bottles.
If you use ordinary storage bags to store them, you can fit at least a hundred bags.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't want it. I only have one left in my hand now." Su Anran turned on the profiteer mode with a calm face, "I only got two this time, and one of them is already twelve
The Wan Ning Qi Pill has been sold, and I gave you a price of 100,000 because after all, we are in trouble together."
"This..." On the other side of the transmission note, Lux seemed quite confused.
The power of an Earth Immortal Sword Cultivator, especially the Sword Immortal Order of Fairy Guanghan, is almost earth-shattering.
With this amulet, it is a complete life-saving amulet.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say that the strong man is not moved.
But one hundred thousand Qi Condensing Pills...
Su Anran looked at Lux in silence. He was thinking, is the price of 100,000 Qi Condensing Pills too high and outrageous?
"Mr. Passenger, can you please keep this Sword Immortal Token for the time being? I will give you an answer when the Tianyuan Trial starts."
By hearing the doctor's voice, Su Anran knew that the other party was definitely going to collect money.
Therefore, he did not refuse.
Who gave him the sword immortal order from Third Senior Sister, the only one in the world?
As expected, monopoly business is the most profitable, and you have the final say on the price.
"Okay." Su Anran nodded, "But you have to hurry up, because they are urging you very urgently, and it seems that they really intend to use this Sword Immortal Token as a life-saving straw."
"I see."
Then Su Anran ended the conversation with Lux.
After that, he sent another message to Han Ying, saying that he already had the knowledge about Lin Yiyi's formation cultivation that he wanted. The spiritual stones he paid before were only enough to buy one of them, and the value of the other was slightly higher.
It requires additional transactions.
Compared with the fake rich people, Han Ying, a silly kid from a real landlord family, did not say "money is not a problem", but he also made it clear that he would buy it. Unfortunately, when Su Anran planned to use the same old method
When Han Ying asked Han Ying to come up with the trading method, he said that he was not qualified to participate in the Tianyuan trial this time because his current cultivation level was still at the fourth level of the Divine Sea Realm, which was quite far away from the Tongqiao Realm.
.
In this regard, Su Anran could only say that there was nothing she could do to help him. Then he would ask Wanshilou to get him a courier service.
