Chapter 197 The purpose of the talisman (please subscribe, please collect)
Not only talisman masters, but also alchemists, weapon refiners, array masters and other auxiliary skills are the same, without exception. Only after countless failures, one's own skills have improved, and it is possible to achieve a natural existence. .
This is also the difference between auxiliary skills and cultivation promotion. In the process of a monk's cultivation promotion, every time the cultivation fails to hit the bottleneck, the monk himself needs to withstand a lot of backlash. Once it exceeds the tolerance range, Not only will it lead to failure, but it will also have a negative impact on the monk's origin.
On the contrary, every time he failed in refining the second-level low-grade Fire Swallow Flying Talisman, Sun Mingsheng would gain something. He carefully studied the reasons for each failure and strived for all progress in the next refining process.
The refining of the Flying Fire Talisman can be divided into three stages, namely three fire swallows, six fire swallows, and nine fire swallows, which respectively correspond to the first level of foundation building, the second level of foundation building, and the third level of foundation building. Different spiritual talismans Can release different powers.
This kind of power is not a simple superposition. Every time a fire swallow is added, the difficulty is multiplied. This is also the fundamental reason why he repeatedly faced failure in the process of drawing the third fire swallow.
In addition to the increase in difficulty, each stroke consumed consumes three times as much mana as the first Fire Swallow.
Fortunately, Sun Mingsheng had been promoted to the second level of foundation building early. He had a solid foundation and considerable strength. Facing this doubled consumption, he was still within the tolerable range.
His first goal was just to complete the drawing of the three fire swallows' talismans. These talismans were comparable to a full-strength strike from a monk on the first level of the Foundation Establishment. Moreover, the fire attribute was already famous for exploding among the five elements, so naturally it was quite popular. Being popular can buy him a lot of resources.
Thanks to the steady improvement of the family's strength in recent years, the sales channels and capabilities for spiritual talismans are naturally increasing day by day. There is no lack of sales for the spiritual talismans he refines. He only needs to give up part of the profits to the family, which is a win-win situation. .
After all, for monks, if they simply rely on individuals to sell in major markets, it will not only consume more time, but although they can earn more spiritual stones, it is still not cost-effective.
If it is sold to a shop in the market, the price itself will be significantly reduced, and the profit earned will be even lower. This is also one of the advantages of the family monks.
"Every time it fails, the talisman paper and talisman consumed are about 500 spirit stones. So far, it has failed more than a hundred times. This alone has cost more than 50,000 spirit stones. These auxiliary skills I really bought it from the spirit stone." Sun Mingsheng showed a look of pain on his face.
Fifty thousand spiritual stones was also a large expenditure for him, almost consuming all the savings he had accumulated over the years after his promotion to Foundation Establishment.
If he continues to delay and has not been successfully promoted to the second-level low-grade, he may not be able to continue with the few spiritual stones left.
Facing the pieces of talisman paper that fell after the refining failed, Sun Mingsheng did not pay too much attention, and the target quickly shifted again.
The latest attempt to refine the Fire Swallow's Flying Talisman failed. The third Fire Swallow was almost formed, with only the last one under the last two claws left. However, it failed because the spiritual power was out of balance again.
"The imbalance of spiritual power is the fundamental reason for the failure of refining the spiritual talisman. These days of attempts have allowed us to have a more precise control of the magic power in the Dantian, which is an unexpected surprise." After one day and one night, Sun Mingsheng's spirit Qi Shen returned to peak condition again.
After counting the few spiritual materials left, the expression on his face became more and more determined. It was obvious that he could only succeed but not fail. Of course, this was also due to countless failures in the past.
In the process of Sun Mingsheng refining the magic talisman and constantly failing, after each failure, there would be a violent roar and explosion, accompanied by bursts of unique black aura.
This situation quickly attracted the attention of the entire family. After confirming that there was no substantial harm, it caused a lot of discussion, especially among the monks in the Qi Refining Period who were learning to refine spiritual talismans in the Talisman Hall. .
Among the four major auxiliary skills in the world of alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and formation cultivation, talisman making is a skill that is relatively easy to get started with, but it is easy to learn but difficult to master.
With Sun Mingsheng, a foundation-building monk who loves spiritual talismans as an example, the family's Fuzhuan Hall also has the largest number of Qi-refining monks. It has been able to stably produce different types of first-class, upper, middle and lower spiritual talismans. Currently, the first-class ones are sold in the family store. The magic talismans have basically been self-produced and sold.
"Fire swallows are flying, come true." The talisman pen in Sun Mingsheng's hand moved like a dragon and a snake. The fusion of talisman ink and mana fell steadily on the talisman paper, and each fire swallow quickly took shape.
Only when the third fire swallow was about to take shape, he already felt the more and more severe suppression force. Every time he completed a stroke, it brought increasing pressure to him, and the talisman pen in his hand began to vibrate.
However, Sun Mingsheng seemed to have never seen this kind of shaking. Veins popped out on his hands, and he tried hard to keep the talisman pen stable and complete the last stroke of the third fire swallow.
During the drawing process, the talisman paper was constantly flashing with bursts of hot red aura. As the last fire swallow took shape, all the spiritual power was immediately concentrated into the talisman paper, maintaining a stable balance. Danger of explosion.
At this point, Sun Mingsheng also refined the first second-level low-grade spiritual talisman with three fire swallows, and was officially promoted to the second-level low-grade talisman seal master.
In the future, you only need to carefully hone your skills and consolidate the foundation of your cultivation. The power of the talismans you refine will naturally increase day by day, and the talismans with six fire swallows and nine fire swallows will naturally be refined.
Talismans are the same as cultivators. Once they are promoted to the second-level lower grade, their power and value will also increase linearly.
Although the second-level lower-grade talismans refined by Sun Mingsheng are only the lowest quality among the same level, they can be sold for at least 1,800 spiritual stones, and they can also be sold to the family for 1,500 spiritual stones.
The cost of refining each talisman is about 500 spiritual stones, but not every time it will succeed. In the early stage, it is destined to be in a loss stage and requires continuous investment.
Only when the success rate is increased to about one-third will you start to earn spiritual stones, and you can also start to try to refine the six fire swallow talismans.
Every time the power of the drawn talismans is increased by a level, the selling price will be significantly increased, and more spiritual stones can be earned.
"Every time I refine a talisman, I will use up all the mana in my dantian. Under this cycle, my cultivation has improved significantly." After Sun Mingsheng recovered again, he made some progress.
As time passed, he successfully refined more than 20 talismans with three fire swallows on the wooden table. As his skills improved, the quality of each talisman also increased linearly.
He also reached the point where he had to sell some talismans in exchange for spirit stones.
