The two of them visited Xiangyang City for a morning. Zhuang Weiwei bought a lot of things in big bags. The two of them had no choice but to get the four hands together. Yang Zheng later hired a ox cart for her and accompanied her for a while. This made Zhuang Weiwei leave with satisfaction.

After saying goodbye to Zhuang Weiwei, Yang Zheng did not continue to visit the city, but went back with a slight disappointment.

Although he had not visited Xiangyang City in the past half a day, he had also visited most of the time. Except for some people with internal skills, he had never seen a cultivator.

Not only that, after continuous observation, Yang Zheng was depressed to find that the spiritual energy of the world here seemed to be really thin.

Although it is better than the Earth in general, it is not much better.

When he returned to his residence, Yang Zheng simply stopped thinking about these things, quickly eliminated distracting thoughts, and practiced the "Witch Spirit Art" cross-legged in the quiet room.

He had just condensed the witch spirit, and he still needed to continue his efforts and improve the level of the witch spirit as soon as possible, so that he could have some self-protection power first.

Moreover, the witch spirit is the foundation for the use of witch Tao magic. The higher the level of the witch spirit, the stronger the spirituality, the greater the help it will be for the practice of the "Six Witch Tao Techniques".

In addition to the "Witch and Spiritual Art", the "Six Techniques of Witch and Taoism" also include "Qi Refining Art", "Body Refining Art", "Witch Medicine", "Witch Talismanship" and "Dream Witchcraft".

The other five techniques need to be used by the witch spirit cultivated by the "witch spirit technique".

For example, the "qi refining technique". Although this technique is to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into magic power, if there are only qi refining techniques and no witch spirits, this technique cannot be practiced.

This is very different from the Taoist practice techniques of other immortal cultivators.

The prerequisite for practicing "qi refining techniques" is that the witch spirit needs to communicate with the world, and guide the free spiritual energy in the world into the body's meridians. Only after the spiritual roots are refined can it become magic power and gather into the Qihai Dantian.

It is no exaggeration to say that the witch spirit is the foundation of all witchcraft.

For the next period of time, Yang Zheng practiced "witchcraft" at home every morning and evening. During the rest of the time, he continued to look for traces of immortal cultivators inside and outside the city, or went to some mountains around Xiangyang to observe the changes in spiritual energy. This was the case for more than two months.

Unfortunately, from beginning to end, he could not see a cultivator, nor did he find a better spiritual energy.

It was the practice of "witch spirit art" and the effect was very good. In just over two months, he had already broken through another small realm and reached the "mid-stage witch spirit".

The range of spiritual communication between the witch and spirit has expanded by more than ten meters, and the spiritual consciousness can already see the range of thirty meters in a radius.

During this period, Yang Zheng also began to study the other four witchcrafts, but the effect was not very good.

Yang Zheng originally thought that the other five kinds of witchcraft were just like "witch spirit art", which was easy to understand and practice, but in fact it was not the case at all.

He studied the two witchcrafts, "qi refining technique" and "body refining technique", for more than two months but still had no clue.

The vocabulary of these two witchcraft techniques is too ancient and obscure. Yang Zheng recognizes each word, but he can't understand what it means to put it together.

This is completely different from practicing "witchcraft" in the past.

It seems that if you can’t find other immortal cultivators and learn from other people’s cultivation methods and want to practice by yourself by just thinking, you may not have any gains from refining qi or body refining.

After two other witchcrafts, Yang Zheng found some tricks.

Especially the "witch talisman technique", Yang Zheng found that his understanding of this witchcraft seemed to have returned to his state when practicing "witch spirit technique".

"Witch Talismanship" is actually not very different from those of the Taoist sect, and they are also the same set of talismans to draw talismans.

However, compared with the Taoist talisman, the "witch talisman" of the Wu Sect is even simpler and faster.

The traditional Taoist talisman technique is very complicated, both in the process of cultivation and drawing talismans, but the success rate may not be very high. In addition, the traditional Taoist talisman technique requires magic power to successfully draw.

"Witch Talisman Art" is much simpler. As long as you have a witch spirit and cultivate the witch spirit to a certain level, practitioners can draw talismans in the void without even needing talisman paper, and the effect may be even better.

There are 108 different runes recorded on the witch talisman in Yang Zheng's hand, and these runes are divided into two levels.

There are 72 witch talismans in the first level, which are the "Earth Witch Spirit Talismans" that can communicate the spiritual power of the earth veins. There are 36 witch talismans in the second level, which are the "Earth Witch Spirit Talismans" that can communicate the spiritual power of the divine.

The "Earth Spirit Witch Talisman" also has different levels, and according to the level of the communication spiritual power of the witch Talisman, it is divided into four levels: low, medium, high and top.

Among them, the low-level witch runes have the largest number, with a total of thirty-six, with mid-level halvings and eighteen, and high-level halvings and top-level halvings, with only nine each.

Yang Zheng has been studying it for more than two months and can only understand three low-level witch runes.

According to the introduction on the Wumen Taoist Talisman, if these three witch runes are drawn into talismans, according to their functions, they should be "evil talisman", "diamond talisman" and "sacrifice of the God".

As for the research on "witch medicine", although there are some clues at present, I still lack the conditions to practice.

Yang Zheng has never read books related to medical skills in his previous life or this life, and does not understand pharmacology. He suddenly studies witchcraft related to drugs, which is naturally difficult.

He planned to wait until the "Witch Talisman" has developed some ideas and can successfully draw low-level witch Talismans, and then start collecting medical books, systematically learn some pharmacological knowledge, and then study "Witch Talismans".

With Yang Zheng’s current witch spirit realm, it is obviously far from reaching the level of drawing talismans in the void. If you want to practice “witch talisman art”, you naturally have to start with the most basic one.

More than two months ago, Zhuang Weiwei came to see him and not only brought him some clothes, but also gave him 100 taels of silver.

In addition to giving Yang Dahai fifty taels to daily expenses, he did not move the other fifty taels.

Since you want to draw talismans, you need to purchase an application tool for drawing talismans.

Anyway, when he read the ancient Taoist scriptures, he had already had a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the knowledge related to talismans, and he knew what to do.

Yang Zheng took the time to go out and bought some talisman paper, wolf hair pen, cinnabar and other items used to make talismans on the street.

In fact, strictly speaking, the things he bought are relatively low-level or even worse than those of immortal cultivators. If you want to draw talismans with better effects, you must use special monster skins and beast blood.

However, with Yang Zheng's current conditions, it is obviously impossible to find these things.

In fact, even if there is one, he can't afford it, not to mention that there is no such high-end goods in Xiangyang City.

But even so, these ordinary talisman-making materials cost Yang Zheng more than thirty taels of silver.

After all, if you want to draw talismans, you can't use ordinary yellow paper and wolf hair brushes. You must use special, best yellow paper and the best silver wolf hair brushes to make brushes.

Through these things, Yang Zheng also realized a problem.

Since you want to become a cultivator, you may be very expensive in the future, and it will only become larger and larger.

Although I now have the identity of a scholar, this identity cannot bring wealth to myself except to make it easier for me to walk in the secular world.

Even if he can get a juren or become a small official, his income is probably a drop in the bucket compared to a cultivator. It is very limited, and he cannot devote his energy to managing secular affairs.

With this idea, if you want to gain a lot of financial resources, it seems that you can only take other ways.

Of course, there is actually another way in front of him, that is, the Duke of Jin. If it can be done well, it may be able to gain a considerable amount of wealth.

But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Zheng felt that this matter was probably not so easy to operate.

Although Yang Mingan is over 50 years old, he is in good health. I heard that he is still interested in taking concubines and sowing seeds recently. His cheap brother Yang Xuanzhu has also developed very well. I heard that he has married another big family in the capital.

On the other hand, for the past eighteen years, my identity as a child of the Yang family has never been accepted by the Duke of Jin's Mansion. I am afraid that even if Yang Ming'an is gone, it will not be my turn to that position.

What's more, Yang Zheng actually doesn't want to participate in these secular rights disputes in his heart. If he doesn't talk about it, it will probably affect his mood in the end, and it will not be worth the loss.

Furthermore, as long as you can cultivate "witch talisman art", it may not be impossible to solve the problem of lack of money.

Among the thirty-six low-level witch talismans, most of them are very practical witchcraft, some have very good healing effects, some have outstanding self-defense effects, and some have strong attack capabilities.

For example, among the three familiar witch talismans, the "evil talisman" has the function of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing ghosts. The "Vajra talisman" is a very good defensive talisman, while the "sun calming talisman" has a wider effect and has a very good therapeutic effect for those who suffer from serious mental illnesses.

As long as you can successfully produce these talismans, you will not have to worry about not making money.

According to the requirements of "Witch Talismanship", Yang Zheng mixed several different materials such as cinnabar and chicken blood, and slowly made a talisman ink with a special smell under the traction of the witch spirit.

After the talisman is modulated, the next step is to draw the talisman.

In order to avoid errors that should not be made when drawing talismans, Yang Zheng repeatedly practiced the three runes with an ordinary brush, and had already mastered them in his heart.

Concentrating the mind and wizard spirit, according to the requirements of the "Witch Talisman Art" to draw the talisman, Yang Zheng grabbed the wolf hair brush, and his mind was concentrated at the end of the brush. The wizard spirit's spirituality naturally gathered on the wolf hair brush through his right hand.

Yang Zheng was a little excited when he made a talisman for the first time, but his mind was always calm, so he quickly suppressed the emotional fluctuation, waved his hand to ink, and quickly drew the first witch rune on the talisman paper in front of him.

"Swish~swish~swish~swish~"

A faint spiritual fluctuation appeared faintly at the end of the pen, and the originally ordinary talisman paper actually emitted a faint yellow light.

The runes of low-level witch talismans are not very complicated. Moreover, witch talismans are different from Taoist talismans, and they pay more attention to the use of spirituality.

Yang Zheng not only successfully practiced "Dream Witchcraft", but even inspired the "Witchmen Tao Talisman" with "Dream Witchcraft". At this moment, drawing the most basic witch talisman is very smooth and without any sense of stagnation.

In just a few strokes, a witch talisman was successfully drawn on the talisman paper.

Seeing that he had successfully drawn the talisman for the first time, Yang Zheng was naturally very surprised.

He put down his talisman pen, picked up the "evil-repelling talisman", and carefully observed and felt it. In the witch spirit's sense, there was a strange energy flowing in this talisman, as if the talisman would break out at any time.

Obviously, this "Evil-repelling Talisman" has been painted successfully, and its power seems to be very good.

Yang Zheng felt it carefully and found that the spiritual power of the witch spirit in the soul sea has been reduced by about one tenth.

The spiritual power in the "Evil-repelling Talisman" in his hand seemed to be less than one tenth of the lost one I had.

He immediately had some understanding of drawing talismans.

When making witch talismans, they consume the spiritual power of the witch spirit. The inspiration of the power of the witch talisman is also used to use the spiritual power sealed in it to communicate the spiritual power of heaven and earth with this spiritual power, forming a certain specific magic power.

After the first witch talisman was successfully produced, Yang Zheng made a concerted effort and continued to draw other witch talismans.

More than an hour later.

Yang Zheng spent all his witch spirit and successfully produced a "evil talisman", two "Vajra talismans" and two "Santhem talismans".

Ten times of talisman production, but only four failed, with a success rate of up to 60%. If it spreads, it will definitely shock the world of immortal cultivation.
