"The problem lies in the green talisman paper. Don't you know that the reaction between the demon blood ink and the green talisman paper will be more intense. If you refine the first-level health talisman or the tranquility talisman, use the green talisman paper as the carrier.
The success rate will be slightly improved.
But the first-order crazy demon talisman is a violent mark. Once the reaction during the production process is too violent, the structure of the rune will be damaged, so there was the bang just now.
If you replace it with white talisman paper that is cheaper but has a flexible reaction with the demon blood ink, even if the production fails, at least it will not explode!"
Li Xuan said.
"Is this actually the case?"
The old man was dubious.
"If you don't believe me, you can find a piece of white talisman paper and try the method just now.
If it still explodes, then consider me talking nonsense."
Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders.
The old man immediately rushed into the room and took out a few pieces of white talisman paper, and began to refine them in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was observing from the side, and then realized that the old man's craftsmanship was indeed not very good, that is, it was just an entry-level skill.
However, Talisman Array is not a knowledge that everyone can master, and even first-level immortal Talisman is not that easy to refine.
Only he, the reborn Immortal Lord, would find it simple! The more he saw the old man's clumsiness, the angrier Li Xuan became and couldn't help but point out.
"The reason for this failure is a technique problem. When you painted the demon blood ink, you incorporated too much spiritual power.
This is just a first-level immortal talisman. Inputting too much spiritual power will not only enhance the effect, but also make the talisman fragile!"
"Wrong, wrong, after grinding the juice of Xuanhua leaves, it needs to be diluted with water first, and finally it needs to be filtered.
If the purity does not reach 60%, even if the refining is successful, the effect of the mark will be compromised."
"There is still something wrong with the technique here. Look, it should look like this..." The old man was sweating and obeyed Li Xuanyan.
He could finally see that Li Xuan was a real master. He knew every step of refining the immortal talisman and was extremely familiar with the effects of each material. His level was much higher than him! Li Xuan didn't think so.
How about it, let alone just refining a handful of first-level immortal talismans, as long as you give him enough materials, even refining a fifth-level immortal talisman is not a problem.
One thought it was unfathomable, but the other didn't take it seriously. The old man and the young man worked in the small courtyard for two hours, and finally completed a slightly rough first-order crazy magic talisman.
"Haha! I finally succeeded!"
The old man was holding an extremely rough and mediocre first-level Crazy Demon Immortal Talisman. He was so excited that he shouted several times at the top of his lungs.
Li Xuan blinked his eyes and thought to himself that this was just the simplest talisman. It actually took so much effort. What's there to be happy about?
"Old sir, since you succeeded, I won't bother you anymore."
Li Xuan felt a little bored and planned to leave.
"Don't go!"
The old man immediately jumped in front of Li Xuan, "Hey hey... hey hey, that..." "What do you want to do?"
Seeing the old man rubbing his hands continuously and looking embarrassed, Li Xuan asked with some vigilance.
"You see it's getting late. How about...staying here for a quick meal so we can have a chat?"
the old man asked.
"Um...okay."
Only then did Li Xuan remember what his purpose was. He was here to collect taxes, or in other words, he was here to gather information. But what happened now? He actually studied the talisman formation with the suspect for several hours! And he even practiced it.
I made a rubbish first-level immortal talisman! It was such a mess. Li Xuan secretly blamed himself, but he kept it.
He had a vague feeling that although the old man was a rookie in Talismanology, and his skills were terrible, he had a special kind of fluctuation in his body.
Li Xuan's cultivation level has not fully recovered yet, and he is not sure what this fluctuation is about, but he has a very familiar feeling.
He estimated that the old man should be a powerful monk.
As for how powerful it is, we don't know yet.
Regardless of whether the old man is the Black Cloud Thief that Li Xuan is looking for, he should be able to find out some information after dinner, right?
The old man's skill in refining the talisman array was poor, but his cooking skills were actually very good. The dinner was very sumptuous, and a large table was filled.
Li Xuan hasn't eaten very seriously in the past few days. He was a little hungry after working a lot in the afternoon, so of course he wouldn't be polite.
After a while, Li Xuan patted his belly and said, "Old sir, thank you very much for the sumptuous dinner."
The old man had finished eating and was tasting the old wine. Hearing this, he put down his cup and said with a smile: "Now that we are full, let's talk about serious things."
"What a serious matter."
Li Xuan asked.
"You're not here to collect taxes."
The old man said.
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Old sir, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"
?"I have heard of you before. It is said that you were exiled to the town by the Li family. You are a useless person who cannot awaken your talent, and you are also a lustful young master!"
The old man said.
Li Xuan's expression tightened and he secretly screamed that something was wrong.
The old man continued: "If what they said is true, I don't understand. For a Qi practitioner like you and a genius in talisman formations, how could the Li family bear to be exiled?
You know, even those third- and fourth-grade noble families will not waste talents like this!"
"Old sir, you are mistaken. I am not a qigong practitioner, nor am I a genius."
As Li Xuan spoke, he looked around for an escape route.
"I can't be mistaken."
The old man smiled and said, "I'm just curious as to why you came to Chiji Town... I think you were investigating something secretly?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Xuan immediately jumped up and prepared to run away.
But at this moment, the spiritual power fluctuations in the old man suddenly surged.
Li Xuan's expression became serious, wondering whether to summon Wan Yongmei and Qin Yiju.
"Is your spirit so strong?"
The old man did not take action, but said with some surprise.
"what do you want?"
Li Xuan didn't panic and asked calmly.
This is the difference between having a bottom in your heart and having no bottom in your heart.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to tell you that I don't mean any harm."
As the old man said, the terrifying spiritual power suddenly disappeared, "Don't worry, I am by no means an enemy of the Li family."
Li Xuan couldn't help but feel relieved. With the old man's demonstrated skills, it was no problem to destroy the Li family single-handedly. There was no need to engage in any conspiracy at all.
"sit down."
The old man pointed to the chair opposite, "I still have many things I need to ask you."
Li Xuan took the risk, sat down, poured himself a glass of wine without ceremony, and drank it with a loud slurp.
While drinking and chatting, the two of them actually had a good conversation. They understood each other tacitly and didn't mention their purpose of coming. They just focused on the talisman array.
After going back and forth, Li Xuan also found out the old man's name and some details.
The old man's name was Lu Benhong, and he was a monk.
As for where Lu Benhong came from, and what family or force he belonged to, he did not reveal it, and Li Xuan was too sensible to ask.
