Chapter 116 Seven Star Paper
Lin Mu's figure was like lightning and he quickly left this city.
After flying dozens of miles out of the city, Lin Mu landed in a secluded place.
There was no one around, Lin Mu had a smile on his face, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the place.
Entering the rotating moon space, Lin Mu went straight to the hut.
Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Shitou all woke up from their trance. Seeing Lin Mu come in, Father Lin smiled and said, "Why are you so happy?"
Lin Mu's smile grew stronger: "I stayed in a market for half a day this time and got a lot of useful things in exchange."
Shitou asked in surprise: "What?"
"Something suitable for the three of you." Lin Mu smiled and said, "I got it specially for you."
After saying that, Lin Mu took out the talisman mold, talisman pen, cinnabar, jade slips, and two dozen pieces of paper and put them all on the table.
The three of them looked at the talisman, not knowing its purpose. They turned to look at Lin Mu with doubts in their eyes.
"This is a talisman." Lin Mu pointed at the talisman and stepped forward with a smile to explain: "It can be used to make paper. The seven-star grass we harvested a few days ago can be placed in this talisman to make paper. Seven-star paper."
Lin Mu then picked up the talisman pen and said with a smile: "This talisman pen is used for drawing talismans. It is a middle-grade magic weapon and is much stronger than my original golden bamboo pen."
After Lin Mu finished explaining, he turned around and found that the three of them were still confused and at a loss.
Lin Mu was surprised for a while, then realized that he was too impatient. The three of them have just embarked on the journey of cultivation and do not understand the talismans yet.
This time Lin Mu took the right medicine and explained from the beginning: "Although your cultivation has advanced very quickly, it is flashy and has no offensive power. If you go out alone, you are not an enemy with one move. My parents are mortals without spiritual roots. There is no hope for magic in the Qi refining period. The only hope is to use the talisman and seal. It does not require any spiritual roots. Just input spiritual power into it and activate it. If used properly, the power of talismans can be far greater than that of spells."
"It's just that the production cost of this talisman seal is very high, and not ordinary people can afford it." Lin Mu saw the look of expectation on the faces of the three of them, and continued to explain: "Now we have this complete set of magical tools, the talisman mold , talisman pen, paper, and cinnabar are all available, the production cost is no longer a problem, all it takes is time, and the time in the rotating moon space is doubled, which also greatly shortens the process. "
Now, all three people understood.
Lin Mu took out another jade slip from his storage bag, which was the "Initial Interpretation of Talisman and Seal Script" that he had originally purchased.
Lin Mu took out two more blank jade slips, copied them separately, and handed them to the three of them.
If his parents and Shitou could learn how to make talismans, Lin Mu's hard work would not be in vain.
During this trip to the Fire Dragon Valley, all those he would face would be cultivators at the Spiritual Silence stage. Lin Mu was not very confident and could only use talismans to enhance his strength.
This is why he did not hesitate to spend four bottles of Centennial Milk in exchange for the Qianfu Shop owner.
The three of them got the jade slip, hurriedly input their spiritual power into it, and began to read it carefully.
Lin Mu also took out a jade slip from the storage bag, which was the jade slip given by the shopkeeper in Qianfu Shop. Inputting spiritual power into it, a few big words first appeared in Lin Mu's mind.
"Talk about Talisman and Seal"!
What is recorded here is all the shop owner’s lifelong experience in making talismans. It contains a total of fifteen ways to carve talisman seals, as well as how to use talisman molds, etc.
After a while, Lin Mu put down the jade slip.
He did not study the method of making intermediate talisman seals in detail. What he mainly studied this time was how to use talismans.
From the jade slips, Lin Mu learned that the production of paper slips can be complex at the same time, and simple at the same time. It is complicated because making paper notes requires many procedures, and each procedure has many steps. As long as one step in the middle is wrong, the production of paper notes will be considered a failure. It's simple because as long as you master this production method, you can produce paper notes in large quantities.
This top-grade talisman mold is well made and has an ingenious structure. Many of the processes do not require the practitioner to do it himself. They only need to input spiritual power into it and control the heat.
Lin Mu followed the formula recorded in the jade slip and took out hundreds of Seven-Star Grasses, and added several other first-grade spiritual grasses, three-line vines, Changji roots, etc.
Putting these spiritual herbs into the talisman mold, Lin Mu cast the "Blue Water Jue" and poured some clean water into it. Then he picked up the copper mallet hanging next to the talisman mold and carefully crushed the spiritual herbs into a ball of paste. paste. Lin Mu then grabbed the bronze round handle exposed on the left side of the talisman and input spiritual power into it.
Suddenly a burst of flames rose from the bottom of the talisman mold, like porridge, slowly simmering on a low fire at the bottom of the talisman mold.
A smile appeared on Lin Mu's face. This talisman was engraved with the third-grade formation "Lihuo Formation". The cultivator only needs to input spiritual power into it, and the flames will automatically generate. It is very convenient to use.
Three hours later, the pulp in the talisman mold had been boiled into a uniform and transparent state. The cyan liquid pulp exuded a faint light, and there was a smell of spiritual grass floating around it.
Father Lin, Mother Lin and Shitou had already finished reading the jade slips and were watching silently without disturbing them.
Lin Mu felt that the paper pulp was almost cooked, so he hurriedly input spiritual power into it. A small hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the rune mold, and a ball of paper pulp fell from the hole at a steady speed and landed on the bronze plate under the rune mold.
The bronze layout is extremely smooth, and as soon as the paper pulp falls on it, it quickly spreads out, like a flowing version, evenly forming a whole, covering the entire layout.
After a while, the pulp cools down.
Lin Mu stretched out his hand and uncovered it, and a piece of light cyan paper with moderate thickness was completed.
The paper surface is smooth without any wrinkles. It is warm and cool to the touch and feels great to the touch.
This is the seven-star paper!
A perfect seven-star paper can be used to make an intermediate seven-star talisman!
Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Shitou all smiled when they saw Lin Mu making the paper.
Next, Lin Mu followed the same method and made all the paper pulp into paper pads. This time, a total of fifty seven-star paper pads were made.
Lin Mu held half a dozen seven-star paper notes in his hands, his heart filled with joy.
With these paper sheets, you will not have to worry about making talismans and seals in the future. If he could produce a large number of low-level talisman seals, or even mid-level talisman seals, Lin Mu would not be afraid at all even if he faced masters in the spiritual silence stage, even though he was only in the Qi refining stage.
Making talisman seals is not a difficult task. Especially after you practice with a lot of paper, it will be easier to learn.
Lin Mu taught his father how to use talismans and how to make paper notes.
Thousands of seven-star grass are enough for Father Lin to make for a long time.
Afterwards, Lin Mu erased the divine mark of the golden bamboo pen he used and let the stone be used after being refined. Later, he gave the painting pen to his mother, taught her the method of sacrificial refining, and helped her succeed in the sacrificial refining.
The three people had a clear division of labor. Lin's father was responsible for making paper notes, while Shitou and Lin's mother were responsible for making talismans.
It's just that the two of them have just dabbled in the art of making talismans, and their techniques are extremely unfamiliar. They can't even draw basic lines straight, and they are as crooked as earthworms.
Lin Mu was glad that he had bought two dozen low-level talisman papers at a street stall, and then asked his mother and Shitou to practice with these low-level talisman papers, thus saving the precious seven-star paper.
Lin Mu also successfully refined the Yunyan Brush and began to use seven-star paper to learn how to make intermediate talismans and seals.
It's just that the production of mid-level talisman seals is more than ten times more complicated than low-level talisman seals. The lines were even more complicated and mysterious, and it took Lin Mu five hours to draw the "Explosive Flame Talisman" completely. This is just the first step. The intermediate talisman and the intermediate spell are almost the same. After using it, the cultivator can still control the direction of the talisman in a short period of time. This requires the talisman maker to leave the traction consciousness on the talisman seal when making the talisman.
It was this step that troubled Lin Mu.
Lin Mu could now easily complete the first step of drawing the talisman, but leaving the traction consciousness in the talisman seal was a very difficult task for him.
Lin Mu's current spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of a mid-level foundation-building cultivator. It stands to reason that making mid-level talismans is not difficult.
But what made Lin Mu feel helpless was that he had never mastered the method of preserving his spiritual consciousness.
Every time, as soon as he inputs his spiritual consciousness into the talisman, the talisman will be inexplicably activated, and the "Explosive Flame Talisman" will explode around him.
When it exploded for the first time, although Lin Mu was prepared and dodged in time, his face was still blackened and his clothes were broken.
In subsequent experiments, Lin Mu was cautious and kept the Earthly Umbrella waiting in front of him. As soon as Lin Mu sensed something was wrong, he would immediately throw out the "Explosive Flame Talisman", then put up the yellow shield of the Earthly Umbrella, and shield himself. Protected under an umbrella.
After Lin Mu scrapped fifteen "Explosive Flame Talismans" in a row, he finally found the problem.
It turns out that each talisman seal has its own special structure. But the most important point is to determine whether the Talisman Seal can exist stably, and that is the Talisman Heart.
The center of the talisman is not the center of the talisman paper, it is the center of the entire talisman seal.
Lin Mu only understood this after repeatedly studying the jade slips given by the shopkeeper.
The traction consciousness must stay on the heart of the talisman to ensure the stability of the entire talisman seal.
After understanding this truth, Lin Mu made a conscious decision and began to intentionally leave his spiritual consciousness in the heart of the talisman.
It's just that the location of the heart of each talisman seal is completely different, so Lin Mu's success rate is not high.
Of the ten "Explosive Flame Talisman", Lin Mu could only make three now, and the remaining seven exploded and turned into ashes.
The explosion of each talisman meant that five hours of Lin Mu's efforts were wasted, and a piece of seven-star paper was scrapped.
To Lin Mu's relief, Father Lin made the seven-star paper very quickly. Basically, half a dozen, or about fifty, sheets can be produced every day. Although the first few dozen paper slips were not very well made, the pulp inside was not even and transparent, and fine blades of grass could still be seen in the slips. But Lin's father quickly adjusted, and his subsequent paper production was not much worse than Lin Mu's.
At Lin Mu's speed, he only consumes about three pieces of seven-star paper every day. Father Lin's speed of making paper notes was much faster than Lin Mu expected.
Like Lin Mu, Lin Mu and Shitou's success rate also increased after a lot of practice.
After the two dozen low-level talisman papers were consumed by the two of them, a total of thirty "Ice Bullet Talisman" and fifteen "Fire Bullet Talisman" were produced.
The success rate of both of them is only about 20%.
This success rate did not surprise Lin Mu. Firstly, the talisman paper used by the two of them was too poor, and the success rate itself was low. Secondly, the two of them had just learned how to make talismans and were not very proficient in their techniques.
After using up the two hundred low-level talisman papers, Lin Mu asked his mother and Shitou Yong to continue practicing with the seven-star paper talismans.
This time, the success rate doubled.
The success rate of the two can reach more than 40%.
As time goes by, the success rate is slowly increasing.
Fifty days later, Lin's father consumed all the seven-star grass, excluding the scrapped spiritual grass, and produced a total of 1,500 seven-star paper notes.
Two months later, Lin Mu, his mother, and Shitou consumed all the fifteen hundred seven-star paper notes.
Lin Mu was quite satisfied with this harvest.
Lin Mu himself produced a total of about 200 mid-level talismans, with a success rate of over 40%.
Mother Lin and Shitou made a total of 500 low-level talismans with a success rate of over 50%.
Two months, seven hundred talismans and seals.
Lin Mu was very satisfied and felt a little more confident about his trip to Fire Dragon Valley.
