The pens, paper, and materials used for the same talisman are different, and the effects are also very different. The most important factor that distinguishes the power is the user's ability. Even the lowest level of yellow paper, an ordinary Xiaoyu,
If Li Chengru writes it, it can also exert great power.
Now Xu Qingmu entered the talisman shop and only raised his eyes, feeling extremely shocked.
An ordinary piece of yellow paper, but it cost a hundred taels! And when he saw the blank talismans of different green and yellow fabrics placed behind the counter, Xu Qingmu opened his mouth even more.
One thousand taels per piece!
No wonder the shopkeeper didn't even raise his eyebrows. How can ordinary people afford to buy it?
Seeing that Xu Qingmu still didn't leave, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand to wipe his face, stood up from behind the counter, walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to Xu Qingmu:
"talisman master?"
Xu Qingmu shook his head.
"Taoist priest?"
Xu Qingmu still shook his head,
After walking around Xu Qingmu, he saw the Chouli Sword carried behind him and spoke again:
"You're not a famous swordsman, are you?"
Xu Qingmu nodded.
The shopkeeper completely lost his patience.
"Gungun, don't dirty my floor. I just mopped it." The shopkeeper began to chase people away impatiently. He reached for the rag and began to wipe the tabletop where Xu Qingmu's hands were pressed.
You're a swordsman, what kind of talismans are you looking at? You're just joining in the fun!
Xu Qingmu was a little confused, couldn't sword cultivators practice talisman-like abilities? He was afraid that the shopkeeper might misunderstand him, so he took out the Little Wolf Haoyu and explained to the shopkeeper: "Is it difficult to draw talismans?"
The boss looked strange.
Is it difficult to draw symbols?
Look at this question! The boss's face gradually turned ashen. No one usually pays attention to this small shop. Seeing that he has to pay the rent again soon, he finally got a customer, and he turned out to be a swordsman! Forget about the swordsman.
Yes, he’s still a head-chopping guy!
Just when the boss was about to roll up his sleeves and chase people away, he suddenly had a plan in mind and turned around and said, "I'll sell you this piece of yellow paper for one hundred taels. You draw the lowest talisman in front of me. If you can succeed,
All talismans are at a 10% discount!”
Xu Qingmu stared blankly at the person in front of him, his expression dull.
It seemed that he was very satisfied with this idea. Seeing that Xu Qingmu was not moving, he thought that the discount was low? So without waiting for Xu Qingmu to express his position, he stretched out his finger again: "Not only will I sell it to you at a 10% discount, but I will also buy one and get one free!"
Xu Qingmu opened his eyes wide and dug out a hundred taels from the objects nearby:
"Without regret."
The store owner smiled and took the silver, took out a one-foot-square piece of yellow paper from the counter, and handed it to Xu Qingmu:
"Never regret it!"
So the young man began to write with concentration, and with the cinnabar provided by the boss, he began to copy the low-level "Imperial Sword Talisman". This talisman on the market only costs one hundred and fifty taels of silver. If the user uses it, it can suppress the Imperial Flying Sword for a quarter of an hour.
When you lift the pen, you can't break it. You need to concentrate on finishing it in one stroke. You are very strict about when to pause and when to change the pen. If you are not careful, it will lose its effect.
Gradually sweat began to form on the boy's face. Even though it was his first time, he finished almost half of it with a flick of his wrist. The pride and contempt on the boss's face gradually disappeared, and he stared at Xu Qingmu's pen tip without blinking.
Is this kid a natural master of drawing symbols?
The boss was thinking, if this is the case, it would be a big loss. But I have never heard of a sword cultivator who can cultivate alchemy talismans. Could it be that the sword was just a cover-up, and he was actually a master of alchemy talismans? The boss felt regretful and remorseful.
I am too frivolous to make a bet without knowing the details!
At this moment, Xu Qingmu, who had been holding his breath, suddenly took a breath and used too much force on the pen. This talisman completely failed.
The boss laughed loudly and said, how can there be such a genius in the world?
Come to think of it, I have been immersed in the three ways of elixir medicine for many years. Not to mention that I am firmly ranked in the top three, but if the world hears the three words "Zuo Qiuliang", they will at least say: "Master Zuo."
One look at this young man's technique shows that although his writing power is sufficient and his mind is quite calm, his sword-wielding hand cannot draw such detailed work.
The boss smiled and put a hundred taels into his pocket, and sighed to the person in front of him:
"It's a pity, it's a pity. I've drawn most of it. If I try it a few more times, I think I can really do it!"
Xu Qingmu shook his sore hand: "Can we do it again?"
The boss looked hesitant, but actually he was smiling inside. Let alone do it again, as long as you have money, it doesn’t matter a hundred times. He was still thinking that the rent was not enough, so he just sent money from the grudges. It was really...
...
excellent!
However, he still looked like he was gritting his teeth, as if exerting great determination, making an expression comparable to that of a woman selling her daughter:
"Okay! Then I'll give you another chance!"
The hand was extremely fast, and a piece of yellow paper was spread on the table.
Xu Qingmu held the pen again: "Is the bet just now still worth it?"
The boss said nonchalantly: "Forget it, of course, I, Zuo Qiuliang, will tell you the truth." He picked up a bench and a toothpick, picking his teeth and watching the show.
The more good things like giving money, the better.
Xu Qingmu took another breath and stared at the paper in his hand. However, he no longer touched the cinnabar ink. Instead, he stretched out his hand, bit his fingertip, and flicked a drop of blood onto the tip of the pen.
"Using blood as a guide?"
The boss was a little surprised. Where did you learn this?
Xu Qingmu turned his head and looked at his boss: "No foul?"
The shopkeeper surnamed Zuo readjusted his posture and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You can just use dragon blood."
Different materials used to draw the talismans will only lead to different effects. However, for the talisman painter, the difficulty is not reduced at all. Some special talismans will be even more difficult.
Xu Qingmu took a deep breath, his eyes were as bright as a torch, and after closing his eyes for a while, he opened his eyes again. With the adaptation from the previous time, his speed was obviously much faster the second time, and his movements were more skillful.
The shopkeeper drank tea and considered it in his mind.
"Well, the strength is really good."
"The writing is also done very well, not bad."
"Hey, you can connect the center beam of the talisman just by touching it. It's very good."
"Huh? Skip the back beam and go directly to the main courtyard?"
"broken!"
With the last murmur, Xu Qingmu had already stopped writing and finished the work in one go.
Done?
Zuo Qiuliang jumped up, stared at the written talisman in disbelief, looked at it carefully, picked it up in disbelief and faced the light, and looked at it several times.
It’s really done!
Both the inscription and the talisman inside were perfect. Zuo Qiuliang placed the talisman on the table, leaned forward, and stared at Xu Qingmu:
"Tell me, are you a sword cultivator?"
Very strange! I have never heard of swordsmen who can practice alchemy!
Xu Qingmu was a little confused. This was the second time he asked: "Can sword cultivators and alchemy talismans be practiced at the same time?" Xu Qingmu thought of Li Chengru and drew it casually, with great ease.
Zuo Qiuliang circled around Xu Qingmu, reached out and flicked the sword:
"you do not know?"
Looking at the boy who didn't seem to be cheating, Zuo Qiuliang explained: "Whether it's a swordsman or a martial artist, each has its own way. Sword cultivators focus on the bridge links between the thirty-six main acupuncture points, while martial arts practitioners pay more attention to the growth of individual acupuncture points.
But no matter whether you are a swordsman or a martial artist, they all have one thing."
The boss paused and continued:
"It goes against the three paths of elixirs, talismans, and medicines. Swordsmen and martial artists pay more attention to the size and toughness of the body's acupuncture points, while the three paths of elixirs, talismans, and medicines focus on the smallness of the acupoints, so that they can easily discard impurities and store mental power more easily."
Xu Qingmu blinked.
Don't understand at all.
The shopkeeper looked like he was playing the harp to a bull, and pointed at the imperial sword talisman he had just written: "In other words, the higher your sword cultivation level, the more you practice the three methods of elixirs, talismans, and medicine, you will get twice the result with half the effort, extremely slow! Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless the martial artist breaks through the foundation building and reaches Dacheng, and the swordsman breaks through the twelve realms and reaches the thirteenth realm, then the acupoints and qi mansions cannot be summed up in one word. By then, practicing the three ways of elixirs, talismans, and medicines will be like eating and drinking.
It’s as simple and casual as water.”
Xu Qingmu understood.
No wonder Li Chengru could easily draw a talisman to protect the entire ruined temple, and he could also take out a teleportation talisman that could shrink the ground to a foot.
The boss didn't believe it and asked, "Are you really a swordsman?"
Xu Qingmu had no choice but to pinch his fingers to form a secret. The Chouli Sword behind him instantly rose into the air and moved around the store at high speed, bringing with it bursts of sword energy but not touching the items in the store at all.
Sword-controlling skills! At least five realms and above!
When Chou Lijian flew back and fell behind him, Xu Qingmu cupped his fists and said: "Xu Qingmu, Six Realm Sword Cultivator."
The defeated boss said with a grimace: "Zuo Qiuliang, a casual cultivator from Nanyuan..."
Next is the moment when Xu Qingmu is happy and Zuo Qiuliang is sad. The top-quality cloth that was originally one thousand taels per piece now only costs one hundred taels, and two of them!
Finally, after Xu Qingmu ordered fifty pieces of cloth and three hundred pieces of ordinary yellow paper, Zuo Qiuliang almost cried:
"Master, you are my master! Please do me a favor. Seeing that it is extremely difficult for me to make these talisman papers, please spare me and don't buy any more."
Xu Qingmu was shocked. Making talisman paper? I heard Li Chengru accidentally mentioned before that those who can make talisman paper must be at least third grade of Talisman Dao.
There are nine levels of Fu Dao, from ninth to first. The number of Fu Dao masters above the third level in the entire dynasty is no more than one hand!
Xu Qingmu felt a little funny in his heart. In fact, the first time he drew the imperial sword talisman, he felt like he had succeeded in one stroke. It was just that he deliberately shifted his focus and destroyed the talisman, just to make the boss fall for the trick and increase the stakes.
In fact, Xu Qingmu himself was wondering why he felt so good at drawing talismans. After much thought, he could only return to the missing Dengxian Bridge.
At that moment, Xu Qingmu thought about it, if Zuo Qiu Liang was really that level three or above... He made a decision quickly.
Xu Qingmu took out all the talisman papers he had purchased and piled them on the table. At the same time, he took out a thousand taels of silver and piled them on the talisman papers together.
Zuo Qiuliang looked at the young man in front of him curiously, what was he going to do?
"I don't want all the talismans, plus a thousand taels of silver. How about you teach me how to make talismans?"
The shopkeeper named Zuo had a wave of eyes.
Well, this is trying to sell dog meat on sheep's head.
