On the main peak square, a group of elders looked at the figure hidden by the clouds and mist on the trial platform through the picture above, with shocked expressions on their faces.
Although the exorcism talisman is only the most basic talisman, even they need ten or even twenty breaths to complete it.
The success of the calligraphy is mainly related to two factors.
The first is whether you can draw the runes in one go.
Second, during the process of writing the talisman, whether the mana is stable.
It is not an easy task to finish drawing the talisman in one go and keep the mana from fluctuating. You need to ensure your inner peace. If you are a little impatient, the rune will be wrong, or the mana will fluctuate too much, the talisman will fail.
Failure to write a talisman not only wastes time and effort, but also wastes precious materials.
Therefore, during the process of writing talismans, practitioners will try their best to be calm and write in a slow and unhurried manner to ensure that the runes are complete and coherent, the magic power is stable, and the speed of writing talismans will naturally not be too fast.
Those who can draw an exorcism talisman within ten breaths must either have advanced cultivation and have reached the pinnacle of control over their body and magic power.
Either it has been practiced countless times, practice makes perfect, and one has practiced an exorcism talisman tens of thousands of times. Even in the soul refining state, one can write the talisman quickly and accurately.
But generally speaking, no one will spend so much time and energy on low-level talismans.
No matter what the reason is, if this person can complete the first level of the trial within ten breaths, he is qualified to attract their attention.
Unfortunately, this man's body was covered in mist, making it difficult to see his true appearance.
An elder from the main peak looked at Elder Xu and asked, "Senior Brother Xu, could this person be..."
Elder Xu had come to his senses at this time, nodded, and said: "Who else could it be besides him..."
…
On the trial platform, Li Mu placed the last stroke of the exorcism talisman, and the stone platform in front of him suddenly lit up with light.
Beside him, a practitioner who was writing the talisman at the critical moment was startled by this abnormality. His hand shook and the runes were drawn crookedly. The first talisman paper was scrapped. The practitioner looked down at the scrapped talisman.
Talisman paper, blurted out: "I'm your mother..."
The stone platform lit up, indicating that the person next to him had successfully completed the talisman. After the man cursed secretly, he looked at the young man behind the stone platform with shocked eyes and thought in his heart: "How could it be so fast?"
He looked at the burning incense in front of the stone platform and didn't dare to think anymore. He had already wasted an opportunity. There were only two talisman papers left. If he couldn't draw the exorcism talisman before the incense burned out, he would try
You will be eliminated at the first level of training.
He glanced at the man one last time and thought to himself: "I hope you can be so fast in bed!"
Tens of seconds after Li Mu drew the exorcism talisman, faint lights began to light up on the trial platform.
He looked around and saw that a small number of people had already completed the exorcism talisman, but most of them were busy drawing.
The first trial of the Fu Lu Sect is a bit interesting.
What they assessed was the most common talisman, but the assessment method was unusual.
One pillar of burning incense and three talisman papers require not only the success rate of the talisman, but also the speed of the talisman.
For a practitioner who practices the talisman, the success rate of the talisman is extremely important.
This point is not reflected in the low-level talismans. The success rate is not very good. At most, some yellow paper and cinnabar are wasted. However, when writing high-level talismans, the talisman paper and talisman materials used are extremely precious and cannot afford to be wasted.
, if you fail a few times, you may need to collect materials again.
Li Mu stood behind the stone platform and waited until the last burning incense on the stone platform turned into ashes.
"Wait a minute, I'm just short of a fortune..."
"Give me ten more breaths..."
"Give me a chance..."
…
The trialists who had not yet succeeded in writing the talisman spoke anxiously, but the stone platform beside them suddenly erupted with a burst of light, sweeping them away and leaving the trial platform.
For those who passed the first level, the stone platform in front of them emitted a faint light and continued to stay on the trial platform.
Li Mu looked around again and found that after the first level alone, the number of testers on the stone platform had been reduced by nearly half. An ordinary exorcism talisman could distinguish so many testers.
After the bell rang, Elder Xu's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Those who have drawn ten evil-exorcism charms within half an hour can enter the third level of the trial."
After he finished speaking, countless yellow paper and cinnabar flew from outside the platform and landed on the remaining stone platform.
Li Mu counted the yellow papers on the stone platform in front of him, no more, no less, exactly ten.
This shows that if you want to pass the second level, you need to ensure a 100% success rate, and you need to complete it within half an hour.
If the difficulty of the first level is 1, the difficulty of the second level is 100.
Within one stick of incense, you have three chances to draw an exorcism talisman, and you can do it if you have some attainments in talismans.
However, it is not something that a person who is new to Talismanism can do to ensure that no one of the ten drawings in a row is wrong. He must truly and completely master the exorcism talisman, rather than relying on luck to write the talisman.
Once you make a mistake once out of ten, all your efforts will be wasted.
This tests not only their Fu Dao ability, but also their psychological quality.
Those who can keep their inner composure and successfully write talismans under such heavy pressure are the talents that the Talisman Sect needs.
Of course, from these two trials, it is not difficult for Li Mu to see that even if the Talisman Sect is rich and powerful, they are not willing to waste resources. Trials with a low success rate of Talisman will be defeated in the first two trials.
All eliminated.
Li Mu picked up his pen and began to write talismans.
In the main peak square, a group of elders and many Fulu Sect disciples were watching the live broadcast of the trial.
"This level is not easy for them."
"Don't talk about them, some disciples of sects may not be able to guarantee that they can draw ten talismans in a row without making any mistakes."
"Twelve years ago, that person only took a quarter of an hour to complete the second level of the trial the fastest in the past years."
"I wonder if there will be any surprises this year."
Everyone was talking, and not long after, another ray of light lit up above the picture. This time, not only the elders, but also the disciples watching in the square let out a burst of exclamations.
"It's fake, not even half a quarter of an hour?"
"Isn't this person a spirit from an octopus?"
"Although the exorcism talisman is very simple, it is impossible to draw ten of them so quickly..."
On the square, the scene quickly zoomed in, and a blurry figure appeared in front of them again. The next moment, someone said in shock: "It's him again!"
"I know, he must know that the first two levels of the trial were all about basic talismans, and he practiced them deliberately!"
"If you give me a year and a half and just practice the exorcism charm, I can be faster than him."
"But if he does this, he will be eliminated in the third level, let alone the fourth level..."
…
In the square, the disciples were surprised for a moment and then calmed down.
It's just an exorcism talisman. Even if you practice it proficiently, it won't be of much use. At most, you can just be a wandering doctor in the secular world, or sell amulets to fool ordinary people.
It is impossible for an exorcism talisman to pass the talisman test of the ancestral court of the Fulu Sect.
Most of the disciples don't think highly of this person's attainments in Talismans.
There are only two possibilities for how he can draw the exorcism charm so skillfully.
First, his magic power is very strong, and he must at least reach the sixth level. But how can a strong person in the sixth level participate in the Talisman Trial, so this one may be directly excluded.
Second, his cultivation level is not high, but he spent a lot of time practicing the exorcism talisman. Practice makes perfect. After practicing thousands of times, he can be so proficient and accurate.
But this kind of behavior is meaningless. The exorcism talisman is useful to mortals, but is useless to practitioners. Practitioners with a normal mind will not waste time on this.
Perhaps, this person just wanted to attract a wave of people's attention during the first two levels of the trial.
However, the elders in front did not think so.
An elder looked at Elder Xu and asked, "Senior Brother Xu, what do you think?"
Elder Xu recalled the scene just now and said: "His movement of writing talismans was smooth and smooth, and it was done in one go. And the success of writing talismans once shows that his magic power is very stable. There are ten talismans with no gaps, which shows that he is confident... If it were him...
, it must be impossible to only be proficient in exorcism talismans, this is not even a little understanding..."
The elder looked at the mist on the screen and said: "His basic skills are very solid and rare among the core disciples. I just don't know if he can pass the third level. The next level will test talent, not talent."
Basic skills..."
…
It was extremely quiet on the trial stage.
After Li Mu finished drawing ten exorcism charms, he was observing the testers around him.
The surroundings were quiet and no unusual noise could be heard.
The assessments in the first two levels of the Fu Lu Sect were extremely fair.
They did not distinguish the test takers based on their cultivation level. They tested the lower-grade Huang-level evil-exorcism talisman. This most basic talisman, whether it was for Dongxuan or Soul Refining, they knew how to calligraphy and painting.
No matter how high the mana of the Dongxuan experts is, they can exert a strength of one thousand or even ten thousand, but when the full score is only one hundred, they can only achieve a maximum of one hundred points.
As for soul-refining practitioners, although their strength is low, they can achieve the same scores as them as long as they work hard and perform exceptionally.
Of course, for low-level practitioners, it must be more difficult to pass the trial. They are allowed to make mistakes in the first level, but in the second level, they cannot make any mistakes.
For this reason, almost most of the trialists temporarily closed their hearing to avoid being disturbed by the outside world while writing the talisman.
Sometimes someone makes a mistake, and after sighing, is quietly taken away by the stone platform. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer testers on the test platform.
In this level of trial, they can neither be hasty nor take it easy.
Writing amulets requires meditation. Once you are in a hurry, you will easily make mistakes. Once you make a mistake, all your efforts will be wasted.
This level also has a time limit, so taking it slowly and leisurely can certainly increase the success rate, but if you exceed the one-hour time limit, you will still be eliminated.
Trials continued to make mistakes and were taken away by the stone platform.
This made the remaining trialists on the field to be more cautious, not daring to try too fast, and hoping that time would pass more slowly.
However, the bell for the explanation of the second trial still rang on time.
After countless stone platforms emitted a burst of light and swept away those who failed to complete the trial on time, there were less than a thousand people left on the field.
In the second trial, two-thirds of those who passed the previous level will be eliminated directly.
In just two games, five-sixths of the people were eliminated. The trials of the Fu Lu Sect were even more cruel than the imperial examinations.
Li Mu didn't wait long when another golden light lit up on the sky in front of him.
