Chapter 24 Talisman (please collect, recommend, invest)
However, in addition to the usual routine inspections of the sapphire mines and the underworld at the bottom of the Lingyu River, handovers with the tribesmen who are mining the sapphire mines are also required every ten days.
According to family regulations, for every hundred pieces of bluestone spiritual ore mined, these tribesmen in the early stages of Qi training will receive one spiritual stone as a reward.
Due to his own cultivation level, he usually takes care of the spiritual field and spiritual medicine garden in Shendog Mountain, and only gets one spiritual stone as a reward in one month. This is already a big reward.
As long as they are not lazy, a monk with the third level of Qi training, with the help of special magical tools, can easily mine four hundred standard bluestones every month, which is already a considerable reward for them.
Four spiritual stones can buy four first-level low-grade Xingqi pills to assist in practice. If you meet some first-level low-grade alchemists who are casual cultivators, the number you can buy can be increased.
In this bluestone spirit mine, what is being implemented is the most typical "more work, more gain". Of course, the family will also set a minimum requirement.
If the mining volume in one month cannot meet the requirements, the family will also impose certain punishments and even replace the monks to mine the spiritual minerals.
For the mining of bluestone spiritual minerals, the family will slowly add more monks to mine, but it will take a certain amount of time to mobilize manpower.
Sun Mingsheng's task as a guard monk is not too heavy, and his main energy is still placed on practice, and he even does not hesitate to slow down the drawing of talismans and seals.
"You can only practice with spiritual stones as an aid occasionally. Two spiritual stones can only last seven or eight days." Sun Mingsheng, who was sitting upright, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the two pieces in his hands that had turned pale white. The spirit stone, when pinched with both hands, turns into pieces of flying ashes.
Spiritual stones contain rich spiritual power. In addition to being used as a normal medium of exchange, they can also be used to assist in practice.
It's just that this relatively luxurious way of practice can only be used at some relatively critical moments for most monks.
Taking Sun Mingsheng's cultivation at the sixth level of qi training, the improvement of his cultivation with the aid of two spiritual stones is not obvious. It can only increase the amount of mana during the movement of the Great Zhoutian.
"It's a pity that the family does not have an array master. Otherwise, setting up a spirit gathering array over time would have some benefits for improving one's cultivation level." Sun Mingsheng had a look of yearning on his face.
The Spirit Gathering Array is a purely auxiliary formation that can gather the surrounding spiritual energy and increase the supply of spiritual energy in the practice room.
There is no formation master in the Sun family, so they can only buy some formation flags at a high price and place them on the Shendog Mountain. Naturally, they have no chance to place them in places like the Jade Spirit Mine.
Even on the Divine Dog Mountain, the Spirit Gathering Array flags are limited. In addition to the four foundation-building monks each having a second-order lower-grade Spirit Gathering Array, only the three retreat rooms used to break through the barrier each have a first-order high-grade flag. , first-level mid-level, first-level low-level formation flags, corresponding to different monks’ practice.
These three retreat rooms are not easy to use. They can only be used when they break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi training, the late stage of Qi training, and the foundation building stage.
On weekdays, the most important function is to gather spiritual power and gradually increase the intensity of spiritual power in the retreat room. Once a family member needs to use it, it is guaranteed to have the strongest effect.
"This Compendium of Talisman and Seal Script was also bought by the family elders at a high price at an auction. It can be regarded as support for me to continue moving forward on the path of Talisman and Seal Script." Sun Mingsheng said while looking at a jade slip in his hand.
As the number of Fire Bird Talisman and Fire Wall Talisman provided to the family every month increases, the family will also provide some basic support within its ability.
This compendium of talisman and seal scripts was written by a second-level low-grade talisman and seal script master. It records mostly his experiences and lessons in making talisman and seal scripts throughout his life and the characteristics of various talisman and seal scripts.
There were some special methods that he had never heard of before, and he also had a deeper understanding of the way of seal script.
"Simply drawing some seals based on sealing spells is the simplest method. The method of seals is not as useless as imagined. It is broad and profound and worthy of my further study." After reading it briefly, Sun Mingsheng has already There are some gains.
He had a hunch that if he could fully understand this compendium of talismans and seals, he would gain a lot in his future journey on the talisman and seal scripts, and it could even be said to be a new stage.
In addition, this talisman compendium also records the inheritance of twelve kinds of spells, including two of the first-order low-grade, six of the first-order mid-grade, three of the first-order high-grade, and one of the second-order low-grade.
There are two kinds of fire-attribute talismans among the first-level mid-level talisman seals. In addition to the fire bird technique, there is also a fire snake technique. The attack power is stronger than the fire bird technique, but it lacks some flexibility.
If this spell can be understood, there will be one more way to deal with enemies in the future, and the family can also have one more talisman to sell to the outside world.
Currently, Sun Mingsheng refines about 20 fire bird talismans and 15 fire wall talismans each month. In addition to being used by monks within the family, more than half of them are also sold in shops in Fangshi. , which can bring more than ten spiritual stones to the family every month.
In fact, for the store, this little bit of talisman and seal script is nothing. The most important thing is to realize the point.
With a small amount of high-quality talismans and seals driving the flow of people in the store, the sales volume of other cultivation resources will naturally increase.
Of course, with his current level, he has never had such an obvious effect. If he has the ability to refine some talismans with relatively obvious and special effects in the future, it will naturally be better.
For example, the jade talisman and talisman soldiers mentioned repeatedly in this compendium of talismans and seal scripts.
The jade talisman is relative to the talisman drawn on the talisman paper. After the normal talisman is sacrificed at one time, all the mana sealed in it will be fully exerted, and the entire talisman can only be used once.
The jade talisman is carved based on some high-grade jade. After the spell is carved, it can be used repeatedly until it exceeds the endurance range of the jade body and breaks into pieces.
The types and grades of jade used to carve jade charms are different, and the number of times they can be used is also completely different. The difficulty of carving is not high, but the most difficult thing is finding the jade.
In addition, every piece of jade is valuable and has other uses, such as refining magic weapons, etc. The three low-grade talisman seals he knows how to draw are obviously not worth wasting jade for carving.
As for the talisman soldiers, it is a completely different system. On the surface, it has a certain relationship with the talisman seal script, but it is independent of the talisman seal script.
You can have an understanding of the Talisman Soldier by its name. As the name suggests, the Talisman is used as a weapon. The process is similar to that of refining a weapon. After the refining is successful, it can be controlled through the spirit stone, which is equivalent to a simple puppet.
Unfortunately, the method of refining the talisman weapons is a secret that is not passed down by many sects. It is not easy to obtain it. Maybe it will be possible to improve the cultivation level in the future.
