Xuan Weizi looked at the cloth in his hand, and saw a spiritual talisman written on it. The spiritual energy fluctuations were restrained to an almost imperceptible level, but this also depended on the low level of the spiritual talisman.
Taoist talismans are profound and vast, and there are a lot of things to pay attention to when writing talismans. What ordinary people see is only the appearance of yellow paper and cinnabar, but in fact it is far from the essence of talismans. Just like Xuan Weizi is now using strips of cloth and astral bodies to write talismans, and
It does not hinder its effectiveness.
"Keep it close to your body." Xuan Weizi handed the cloth to Wolf and said, "This talisman can prevent you from being affected by the magic control spell."
Rosalian also wore a small scarf with writing talismans around her neck. She shook her legs uncomfortably, as if she wanted to pull the scarf off.
"What is this? A scroll? Why is it similar to the wooden sign you gave me before, doctor?" Wolf tied the cloth strip to his arm and asked.
"It's just a magic talisman, not the same thing as a scroll." Xuan Weizi said: "The scrolls made by the mage prepare the materials and calculations required for the spells in advance, so that the spells in the scrolls can be cast in a more convenient way. Spell casting
Once it's done, the scroll will be useless. But my talisman is different."
"How is it different?" Wolf asked curiously: "I think your talisman, doctor, is somewhat different from those magic items. Are all psychic items like this?"
Xuan Weizi raised his sword finger, drew a blank mark on the wall in the air, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe it's not consistent. Although my spiritual talisman is modified from the spiritual pattern, the idea comes from a skill called talisman.
The mysteries are profound and profound, no less than the Tao of Alchemy. It even has more profound insights in terms of application."
"Is it also invented by some emperor from a distant world?" Rosalian said sarcastically with a smile.
Ignoring Rosalian's statement, Xuan Weizi didn't have time to perfect the talisman in this world yet, so he could only say: "What I draw now is just a low-grade talisman. The focus of this kind of talisman is the 'talisman'. With the talisman
Aperture, the talisman itself is an open system that can absorb and transform energy, matter and information from the outside world on its own, so the talisman is not like a scroll that is used up all at once, but can continue to operate."
"There seems to be some feeling, but very little." Wolf touched the cloth strip on his arm.
Xuan Weizi said: "My 'four-level heart-guarding talisman' is supposed to be best based on the replacement of the sun and the moon and the shift of the stars, but I don't know much about this, so I have to use the determination of counting the breath day and night to transform it."
Refined with psychic energy. Generally speaking, coupled with your original will immunity, enchantment control spells below level eight are useless to you."
Although Xuan Weizi also had great attainments in Talisman in his previous life, compared to Alchemy, the world has changed, and all the basic factors such as heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars are much easier, almost completely invalidating his past experience, and the situation is even worse than Alchemy.
.
Whether it is activating the innate Yiqi calligraphy talisman, refining internally and externally to use the Gang Dou cloth knot, or identifying the five elements and using them according to the opportunity, even if it is worshiping Yin soldiers, borrowing ghosts and gods, and even damaging one's own essence and clinging to the cinnabar...
...The essence of talismans lies in "sensing". You can sense everything from heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, sun and moon, stars, vegetation, sand and stones, to fine dust and wind.
And by sensing the inner principles of all things externally, creating a pattern in a small space, and perfectly harmonizing with nature - Fu Ye.
The pictures and texts used to draw talismans can be roughly divided into three categories - the inferior ones use tripod inscriptions on armor and bird characters and animal seal scripts, and are only limited to human beings to copy their shapes. Those with superb skills can use this to make waves, control fire and drive thunder;
Those who ride on the clouds, thunder patterns, dragons and phoenix images can no longer be understood through ordinary learning. Without mastery of heaven and earth, gods and universes, one cannot fully understand the mysteries. Those who can write talismans are already living immortals;
From the smallest to the most vast, it is the Tao that gives rise to all things. The talisman left behind is to open the heavens and propagate the Dharma. With all the energy of the root, those who can achieve the superior talisman can be friends with the Three Pure Ones and drink with the Jade Emperor...
Of course, in Xuan Weizi's eyes, the superior talisman is no longer a talisman, but the highest state of being in harmony with the Tao. Anyway, every sect says that their own Taoism can reach a similar state, so most people can just listen to it.
The spiritual talisman written by Xuan Weizi still essentially follows the principle of "taking people to feel things and using talismans as orders". Unfortunately, Xuan Weizi's understanding of the laws and laws of this world is not enough, and his alchemy cultivation is not truly "all in line".
The degree to which things are connected.
If it were on earth, it would be possible to pass down the urn script alliance contract and the heart seal of the officer and general with the inner secret talisman through the urn bestowing ceremony, allowing Taoists to directly sense the inheritance of the dharma lineage. Although many inheritances have declined in later generations, there are still some
Traces can be followed.
Unlike Xuan Weizi now, he no longer even has the master who passed down the inner secrets of his heart seal to him, so he has to start from scratch to figure out everything.
"Didn't the ancestors of various schools in ancient times accumulate insights bit by bit on their own? Why can't it be my turn?" Xuan Weizi was not discouraged. As a Taoist, he was very aware of some exaggerated claims.
In fact, it is an experience in the process of practice, but it is difficult to express it in ordinary words. He has never thought that he is inferior to his predecessors. If this is the case, then there is no need to promote the great path.
Xuan Weizi took Wolf and Rosalian out. He received news from Master Nelum and planned to meet and discuss in detail, so he sent carriages and horses to pick them up early.
Board the carriage and drive all the way to the communication crystal tower in the center of Huowu City. There is a circle of ancillary buildings around this tower, including the branch of the Pentagram Tower.
Compared with the quiet villas last night, the area around the communication crystal tower is obviously a place where spellcasters gather, and various magical lights and shadows can be seen flashing from a distance. Everything related to magic is sold on both sides of the road, with rows of swords on display.
There are axes and hammers, a weapons shop inlaid with crystal carvings, a tailor shop that specializes in selling mage robes from different schools of expertise, from alchemy potions to aphrodisiac incense, a potion shop with a slightly peach-colored decoration, and a "Welcome to customize" message projected with the light of illusion.
"The word's wonder department store.
Some stores even put their goods on the street to demonstrate the effects of spells in public. When the carriage is driving on the road, you can sometimes see a group of phantom birds flying through the window, or clumsy constructs performing various actions, and
People sit on the flying carpet and shout loudly, their heads lighting up like light bulbs.
And those who can come here to shop are not just ordinary people. There are poor mages who are clutching their money bags tightly and counting on their fingers. There are also handsome warriors who are hugging each other and making generous purchases. There are also those who are playing with coins and looking at them.
The wanderers wandering around seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to commit some kind of robbery.
However, Xuan Weizi remembered that Titus said that the magic shops around the branch were actually used to deceive outsiders who did not know the magic. There was a private trading method among their own people in the academy. If they really lacked something, they could still go to Fire Dance.
Find a way out of the city's slums.
The carriage arrived at its destination. After Xuan Weizi and Wolf got off the bus, they were faced with a huge square, with pigeons cooing and wandering around. On the right was a semi-circular debate venue, where a group of apprentices were listening.
The two mages debated loudly, talking about professional arcane knowledge.
On the left is a tall building comparable to a church. The complex reliefs and columns on the outer wall are arranged regularly. The dome is actually made of some kind of translucent tiles. There are two towers on the left and right, one of which is obviously
It is a star observation tower. There are large crystal stones suspended around the tower, which seem to bind some kind of magical effect to the tower.
Following the mage who led the way, I entered this tall building. It turned out to be a library. The rows of bookshelves were already filled, so that there were still several piles of books piled next to the bookshelves waiting to be sorted. The diligent mages lowered their heads to read, and could vaguely hear
The sound of spells and magic light sources are very common things. Even if you raise your hand, a light will appear. There is no need for the mage to cast a spell. It is the "spell" of the entire library.
Wolf obviously didn't adapt to this rigorous atmosphere. He didn't dare to say anything while carrying his big backpack and looked around with his eyes. Rosaleen hid in her backpack and never showed up. Fortunately, no one paid attention to them.
The master who led the way asked Xuan Weizi to sit down and wait in a small waiting room. After asking, he found out that Master Nelum was giving a class to the students and was talking very enthusiastically, so he delayed for some time.
Magic colleges like this are not divided into classes like traditional schools on Earth, and there are no fixed course times and course sequences. The main instructor often goes where he says he will, and sometimes announces the start date in advance. Students should attend the lecture or not.
, and there is no mandatory requirement.
Most magic academies have very loose requirements and no exams, but any student who attends them knows that when they embark on the path of arcane magic, they will be tested all the time. If nothing else, improve the arcane magic ring.
Leveling up and mastering more arcane spells is itself a difficult test one after another. It is a real problem that requires a lot of hard work to gain anything.
Improving the arcane level and learning arcana require a lot of study, research and experimentation. Although the Magic Academy will provide various opportunities, students must spend their own money, which is also the academy's profit channel.
Even though it is undeniable that learning arcana is a money-burning business, the environment provided by the Magic Academy - abundant reference books, rich experimental sites, guidance and teaching from instructors, and a study atmosphere that forces you to make progress. If you can still do it in the Magic Academy
If you are too lazy to get down, such a person is not suitable to be a mage.
The main reason is that the Magic Academy is not like ordinary schools. Those who come here to become mages are all people with a strong thirst for knowledge or power, and in this world, knowledge can be directly transformed into power.
Different from studying hard for more than ten years in the cold window of the earth and only becoming a tiny part of the huge social division of labor, the mage's own knowledge is the basis for himself to gain power, and this power is often reflected in the most intuitive "violence".
It is undeniable that violence is the lowest-level benefit distribution rule. Mastering violence will naturally control the power of benefit distribution. The violent elements in this world are highly concentrated on individuals, which is much more extreme than the situation on earth, which naturally creates strong social differences.
.
The strong ones among the mages are not only wealthy, but their life forms and thinking patterns are even fundamentally different from ordinary villagers who are also human beings. On earth, no matter how rich people are, they at least have birth, old age, sickness and death that they cannot avoid. But in this world, as long as
If you are strong and wealthy enough, you may even be able to overcome death.
Xuan Weizi vaguely felt that mages could no longer be simply distinguished by profession or class. If mages in this world continue to develop, they may become an independent "race" and no longer regard themselves as human beings.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Master Nelem pushed open the door and walked in, holding a few books and saying with a blushing face: "The students in this class are all very outstanding. They talk endlessly when they are in a mood."
Xuan Weizi raised his hand to ask Wolf to go outside and said with a smile: "Isn't it that female students are better?"
"This... really can't hide anything from Dr. Olenso!" Master Nelem showed a man's unique smile: "After all, my apprentice assistant is pregnant again and needs a new assistant recently. Female students these days
Ah, each one is more open than the other. They are wearing a mage robe outside and nothing underneath. I am not 'educating' them. I am a little late. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"
Xuan Weizi had no intention of interfering in other people's lives, so he took out a bottle of potion and said: "This is my improved 'life-extending elixir'. It can allow natural energy to transform the body as a whole. The effect is definitely better than what you used before.
.Currently, drinking one bottle will ensure that there are no signs of aging within half a year. I will try to see if I can improve it in the future.”
Master Nelum excitedly took the bottle of turquoise potion. The cool feeling on his tentacles had already cheered him up. After casting a series of spells such as "Detect Poison", he confirmed that there was no negative or curse effect, and he quickly
Said: "Dr. Olanso, you have indeed lived up to my respect!"
Xuan Weizi just said lightly: "But let me tell you in advance, this 'life-extending elixir' is also unusually expensive, and the main reason is the lack of equipment. I may need a batch of magic materials and energy-conducting metals to make special pharmaceutical utensils
…The list is here.”
"Well... the amount is quite large." Master Nelum gritted his teeth: "I can approve it. I hope doctor you can speed up the progress."
"As long as the supplies are sufficient, I can start work immediately." Xuan Weizi laughed in his heart. He did not expect that he would re-understand "The Great Weapon of Heaven and Earth" and various alchemy prescriptions, combined with the magic medicine and alchemy of this world,
Sensing the physical endowments of different materials, coupled with the method of refining weapons with real fire, it is really possible to fiddle with the so-called "life-extending elixir". Although according to the principle, it can only temporarily delay aging and protect vitality, but for Naylor, who is eager to fight,
For Mu, it can be said to be a life-extending miracle medicine.
This time Xuan Weizi is here to prey on the rich. Since Master Nelum is so rich, he might as well borrow his greed for life and fear of death to help him build a set of alchemy furnaces to refine various miraculous elixirs for his future cultivation.
Cuiyuan and solid foundation.
Wizard Nelum casually signed a document, snapped his fingers to summon a translucent magic servant, took the document and floated away.
"There is one more thing." Xuan Weizi said.
"Oh? Does the doctor have any good news?" Master Nelum smiled.
Xuan Weizi said with a deep expression: "I was being watched at the reception hotel where I stayed, and on the way here today, someone was watching me all the time."
