Chapter 183 Alchemy and Talisman Making

Clouds and mist were lingering, and raindrops were falling.

Father Lin's fingers were like weaving, and he kept performing the "Blue Water Technique" in his hands.

Several white clouds floated in the fog, and the rain was like a curtain.

After being washed by the rain, the spiritual grass becomes more and more green, which is particularly pleasant.

Forty-three acres of spiritual fields were all irrigated by rain.

Father Lin breathed a sigh of relief, put away the magic formula, and smiled.

Lin Mu walked forward, looked at the green spiritual field, and said with a smile: "Dad's "Blue Water Jue" has improved again, and now he can shoot "Blue Water Jue" five times in a row."

Father Lin smiled and said: "I had nothing to do, so I practiced "Blue Water Jue", but I never thought that I would unintentionally insert willows into the shade. "Blue Water Jue" progressed quickly. Now I am on the fifth level, and I can also shoot five consecutive shots. , now it is much easier to irrigate the spiritual fields with rain than in the past.”

Lin Mu nodded: "More than that, after the "Blue Water Jue" reaches the fifth level, the spiritual energy contained in the rain becomes more and more intense, which is of great benefit to the growth of spiritual grass. The growth of this batch of spiritual grass is so gratifying, and a good harvest is just around the corner."

Father Lin turned to look at Lin Mu, with a look of surprise on his face.

"In April and May, Qianxiu, you have made great progress!" Father Lin asked: "Have all the 1,600 bottles of spirit-returning pills been used up?"

Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "If not, how could there be such great progress."

Father Lin smiled and said: "Comparing your mother and me with you, the gap is huge. We took several times the spirit-returning pill as you did, but your cultivation level was later overtaken by you, and now we are almost the same."

Although Guiling Pill can quickly improve one's cultivation level, it varies from person to person.

Neither Lin's father nor Lin's mother had spiritual roots. With the same bottle of spirit-returning pill, the two of them could absorb at most 40 to 50% of the medicine's power.

Although the dosage was large, the effect was minimal.

Lin Mu's spiritual roots were similar to those of stone and could absorb 60 to 70% of them.

Yunmeng is a dual-system spiritual root with excellent aptitude and can absorb about 80% of the energy.

Father Lin and Mother Lin took the most pills, but their cultivation was gradually being overtaken by Lin Mu and Shitou. Even Yunmeng, who had just established the foundation for two or three years, has now entered the late stage of foundation building. It will only be a matter of time before he breaks through to the spiritual silence stage. Father Lin inevitably felt guilty about what happened.

Lin Mu looked at the spiritual field that was about to be harvested and said with a smile: "Now that this batch of spiritual grass is about to mature, I will go to refine the elixir. Since the effect of taking the elixir is not as good as others, then we will win by quantity. If others take one bottle, we will take five Bottles, ten bottles, or even a hundred bottles. In comparison, the cultivation level is no worse than that of others."

Father Lin glanced at his son, with complicated expressions in his eyes, ranging from relief to guilt. After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind and said, "Why don't I also learn to make alchemy? Now that the five of them are cultivating together, there are many spiritual fields, and there are tens of thousands of materials. , Relying on you and Shitou to make elixirs, I’m afraid it won’t be enough even if you die from exhaustion.”

Lin Mu was about to refuse, but saw his father's firm face, softened his tone, and persuaded: "Alchemy is not a profound and difficult thing to understand, but it is so easy to learn. You and your mother just practice, don't worry about these mundane things. Practice." Besides, planting various spiritual fields and providing rain for spiritual grass is enough, why bother thinking so much.”

Father Lin still insisted, and Lin Mu hurriedly said: "Alchemy is too difficult to learn. How about learning how to make talismans. I recently harvested a batch of Seven Star Grass. Now that the Guiling Pill has been used up, why don't you and I go to make the elixir? How about we make the talisman together with my mother?”

Father Lin thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement.

He had no interest in alchemy at first. He wanted to learn alchemy just to help Lin Mu share some of the pressure.

Nowadays, learning how to make talismans is actually the same as refining alchemy.

He didn't care what he learned as long as it was helpful to Lin Mu.

Seeing his father's promise, Lin Mu hurriedly took out the seven-star grass and a small amount of first-grade and second-grade spiritual grass. He also took out the talisman, and then took out the cloud smoke pen and purple sand. He smiled and said: "This spiritual grass can be used to make seven-star paper. This Yunyan brush and purple sand can be used to make talismans and seals. You can try to learn it. If you feel you can't do it, just don't learn it."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he took out two more jade slips from the storage bag, one "Initial Interpretation of Talisman and Seal Script" and one "Talking About Talisman and Seal Script", both of which recorded the basic methods of making talismans.

Father Lin took the talisman pen, purple sand, and jade slips, and then put the seven-star grass and talisman molds into the storage bag. He smiled and said, "I'll take a look at the jade slips. If I can understand something, I'll start making them."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "I will start refining the elixir today. Please give me the 7,500 materials."

Father Lin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he had withheld the materials that day to prevent Lin Mu from continuing to refine the elixir. He hurriedly took out the materials and said, "Don't work so hard this time to refine the elixir. Take a rest when you need to."

Lin Mu hurriedly nodded in agreement and put all the materials into the storage bag at once.

Father Lin said a few words, then walked into the house with the jade slips and began to learn how to make talismans.

Lin Mu then took out the purple incense burner, threw a piece of material into the burner, cast the spell, and a ball of flame emerged from the bottom of the burner, and began to refine the elixir.

Lin Mu's consciousness moved and he used his fire control skills. The flames at the bottom of the furnace instantly turned into a three-leaf fire lotus.

The three-leaf fire lotus seems to be quiet, burning quietly at the bottom of the furnace, but the speed of making alchemy is much faster than before.

In less than an hour, a burst of fragrance wafted out of the stove.

His fire control skills reached the level of the three-leaf fire lotus, and Lin Mu was even more confident in refining alchemy.

Refining alchemy this time was much easier than before.

It doesn't take an hour for a furnace of soul-returning elixir to be released.

Lin Mu's success in alchemy had reached 80% before, but now he has made a further step forward and reached 85%!

At the end of the day, Lin Mu rested for three hours and easily refined nineteen bottles of spirit-returning elixir.

Lin Mu was secretly happy in his heart. The hardships he endured before were finally rewarded today.

If he hadn't worked so hard before, I don't know what year or month it would have taken for his fire control skills to reach the level of the three-leaf fire lotus.

Now that the level of alchemy has increased, making alchemy is much easier than before.

Lin Mu was inspired by this and kept refining elixirs every day, full of energy.

One month later, Lin Mu counted the number of spirit-returning pills, and the result surprised him.

Six hundred bottles!

This number made Lin Mu unbelievable.

He was surprised and counted again.

A total of six hundred bottles, not bad at all!

Lin Mu remembered that he had worked so hard before, and his monthly limit was only about 530 bottles.

Later, I was extremely tired and my speed dropped a lot.

Now that fire control skills have improved, not only has the success rate increased a lot, but the speed has also improved by leaps and bounds.

At the end of January, there were seventy more bottles than before!

When alchemy reached his level, it became increasingly difficult as he went up. It was common for him to practice hard for several months without making any progress.

Now, he was above the original level and suddenly reached another level, directly reaching 600 bottles.

The stone's success rate in refining alchemy now reaches 60%, and it can only refine more than 300 bottles per month.

He is now almost twice as fast as a stone!

Lin Mu has made great progress in alchemy, and Lin's father and Lin's mother have also begun to make talismans.

Father Lin spent a month reading the two jade slips dozens of times, and he understood the method of making talismans. The only difference was to practice his skills.

Then he erased the mark of spiritual consciousness left by Lin Mu on the Yunyan pen and practiced it again.

After successfully refining the Yunyan Brush, Lin's father began to make seven-star paper.

He was already familiar with this job.

Father Lin took out the talisman, threw the Seven Star Grass and some first-grade and second-grade spiritual grass into it, then poured water into it, crushed it with a copper mallet, poured spiritual power into the talisman, and slowly boiled it over a low fire.

After the seven-star grass slurry in the talisman mold was boiled into a thick, uniform, transparent cyan liquid, Father Lin began to make paper notes.

Pieces of light cyan seven-star paper were taken out from the bronze page.

There were 13,000 seven-star grasses, and Father Lin produced a total of 6,300 seven-star paper slips.

Six thousand three hundred pictures!

For Father Lin, this is enough for him to practice his skills.

Lin's mother had already finished taking the Guiling Pill, and the two began to make talismans together.

Lin's mother began to learn how to make the intermediate talisman "Explosive Flame Talisman", while Lin's father started from the basic level and slowly made the "Fire Bullet Talisman".

It's just that the progress the two of them made on talismans and seals was completely incomparable to Lin Mu's progress on alchemy.

Lin's mother was new to intermediate-level talisman seal writing, and it was easy to carve patterns. However, like Lin Mu before, she had no experience in finding the heart of the talisman and failed repeatedly.

Fortunately, she successfully refined the Sky-shattering Umbrella, and the explosion of the "Explosive Flame Talisman" did not cause any damage to her.

But the success rate is far from satisfactory, just reaching 20%.

Father Lin is not much better than Mother Lin. Not only is his speed much slower, but his success rate is only around 20%.

Lin Mu could only smile bitterly at this.

This is true for everyone. If you have no experience at the beginning, your success rate will be very poor.

Only after a lot of practice can you become good at it.

Of course, some necessary guidance can help people avoid many detours.

While Lin Mu was refining alchemy, he also did not forget to give some advice to his parents.

What he said were some of the mistakes he often made in the past, as well as some of his own experience in making talismans.

After hearing this, Father Lin and Mother Lin deliberately avoided such mistakes. As expected, they benefited a lot and their success rate gradually increased.

Lin Mu also went to the Xuan Yue Space to check during his break in refining alchemy, and found that the batch of spiritual herbs was already mature.

He hurriedly collected the spiritual herbs and prepared 1,800 ingredients.

Then he plowed the spiritual field, sowed seeds, and planted spiritual grass.

After finishing all this, Lin Mu continued to refine the elixir non-stop.

The previous 7,500 copies of materials were added to the current 1,800 copies, for a total of 9,300 copies.

Nine thousand three hundred copies, if Lin Mu refined it alone, he would not be able to finish it in a year.

Shitou just finished taking the elixir and walked out of the house, causing Lin Mu a lot of worries.

After more than half a year of hard training, his stone cultivation has improved a lot, and he is only one step away from the advanced stage of foundation building.

Yunmeng, on the other hand, was very slow in taking the elixir. He had not come out of seclusion, and he had not reached a certain level of cultivation.

Lin Mu then gave Shi Shi 3,000 ingredients and refined the rest himself.

Shi Shi took out the bronze furnace and immediately started refining the elixir with Lin Mu.

With the two of them working together, the alchemy speed is indeed much faster.

Lin Mu is able to refine more than 600 bottles of Spirit-Returning Pill every month, and there is still slight progress. After three months, it has reached 610 bottles.

Shi Shi seems to have begun to master alchemy, and the success rate has greatly increased, slowly rising from 60% to 70%.

The speed of elixir refining also increased from 350 bottles at the beginning to 400 bottles after three months.

The two of them worked together to refine the elixir and could produce more than a thousand bottles every month.

Within half a year, the two of them had refined all the materials.

Nine thousand three hundred ingredients were used to refine a total of seven thousand bottles of Gui Ling Pill.

Seven thousand bottles!

Whether it is the success rate of alchemy, speed, or quantity, it will be better than before.

Lin Mu and Shitou both looked happy.
