As the only fourth-level great talisman master in Tongyou Academy, Shang Xia was preparing to make a finished fourth-level talisman for the many talisman masters in the talisman hall to learn from in the future. After the news spread, the entire talisman hall began to boil.
All the best talisman-making resources in the entire talisman hall, inside and outside, up and down, must be gathered for Shang Xia to choose from.
It's just that at this time, Shang Xia was having a chat with the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion advocating for good antiquity.
"I originally thought you were still sitting in the two realms of war."
Under the leadership of Zhang Haogu, Shang Xia once again entered the secret pavilion of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
"It's enough to have Qingzhu. Now the cooperation between the two parties is at its most critical moment. No one will jump out to cause trouble at this time. The battle fields between the two worlds are very stable!"
As Zhang Haogu spoke, he opened a secret box in the secret pavilion in front of Shang Xia as if no one else was watching.
Seeing Zhang Haogu place the fifth-level inheritance of "Linyuan Feng Xufu" in the secret pavilion behind layers of seals and numerous mechanisms, Shang Xia sighed: "I didn't notice it the last time I came to this place.
It turns out that the entire secret pavilion is not only self-contained, but also an independent space. Could it be that its body is directly connected to the mysterious world?"
Zhang Haogu smiled and did not answer, but sighed and changed the topic directly, saying: "Unexpectedly, the academy has another fifth-level inheritance."
Shang Xia disagreed and said: "It's just a fifth-level talisman. How can it be compared with Kou Shanchang's self-created fifth-level skills and fifth-level swordsmanship inheritance?"
Zhang Haogu couldn't help but pointed at Shang Xia's nose and laughed and cursed: "You kid, are you really ignorant or do you do this on purpose? How rare is the fifth-level inheritance? It is the essence of the world at the top, every bit of it.
This is the most essential manifestation of heaven and earth. If you say such big words, don’t you think you have to come to me next time to hand over a fifth-level advanced formula?"
"I really have the fifth-level advanced formula in my hands!"
Naturally, Shang Xia would not say this. If it really happened, it would cause a big disturbance in the academy, and even Kou Chongxue might have a headache.
Shang Xia made a disdainful expression and said shamelessly: "How did you know that I won't be able to find the fifth-level formula in the future?"
In addition to the fifth-level inheritance of "Linyuan Feng Xufu", Shang Xia also handed over the fourth-level advanced formula of "Four Waters Linyuan Brew".
This advanced formula was also obtained from Linyuan Secret Realm and was obtained from Shang Xia. The ownership rights are shared by Shang Xia and the academy.
A similar situation applies to the Linyuan Sword and everything he obtained in the Linyuan Secret Realm.
How to calculate the gains and losses depends on the tacit understanding between Shang Xia and the academy.
As the two of them walked towards the outside of the secret pavilion, Zhang Haogu casually activated the restrictions and formations along the way.
After the two of them returned to the Sutra Pavilion outside the Demi Pavilion, Zhang Haogu seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "I heard that you are planning to enter the Xuan Realm to make talismans?"
Shang Xia knew that Zhang Haogu would not mention this matter casually, so he asked, "Sir, what do you want to teach me?"
Zhang Haogu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it won't go well. You have to be prepared."
Shang Xia laughed dumbly and said: "Why, is it possible that someone will stop me?"
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Is it difficult to keep you out of the Mysterious Realm? I know you don't take Liu Zhiyuan seriously. I also heard about it in the Futang yesterday, but you have to remember that he is a deputy
Mountain Chief, you are just a Talisman Master, even if you are a great Talisman Master, as long as you regard yourself as a member of this place, you will never be able to do whatever you want, even if you are Kou Chongxue!"
Shang Xia looked thoughtful when he heard this.
Zhang Haogu knew that he had understood, so he turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, Shang Xia stopped him from behind at this time and said: "Sir, Mr. Fu Tangfan has an old relationship with you?"
Zhang Haogu said with a smile without looking back: "That guy Gong Hang is my old friend!"
Shang Xia looked at Zhang Haogu's leaving figure and murmured: "So that's how it is."
…………
When Shang Xia returned to Futang again, he saw Ren Huan standing outside the door of his quiet room from a distance, looking at him.
Shang Xia smiled from a distance and said, "Brother Ren, what's the happy event?"
Ren Huan took out something like an account book from his sleeve and said: "The best families in Futang are all here. Fan and Lou asked me to tell you. Whatever you want to use, just choose from it."
, if it is not available above, just make a request and we will immediately start doing it for you.”
Shang Xia opened the account book and looked slightly surprised, saying: "There are actually fourteen talisman papers in four, so many?"
Are fourteen fourth-level talisman papers a lot?
For Shang and Xia, there are really not many, it can even be said to be very few.
Don't look at the fact that when Shang Xia was making talismans at the merchant, six talisman papers were made into three fourth-level talismans, with a success rate of 50%.
But that was because Shang Xia was in good shape at the time, and with a little luck, it was possible to reach such a high level.
In fact, according to Shang Xia's own estimation, he must first increase his production rate of fourth-level talismans to more than 30%, which means that at least three of ten fourth-level talisman papers can be made into a normal one.
A fourth-level talisman master.
Although the success rate of such a talisman is not high, at least after breaking away from the support of major forces, it is still guaranteed that someone will come to ask for a talisman.
In this way, the fourteen fourth-level martial talismans on Futang's books are really not too many.
But Shang Xia knew that after he advanced to the fourth level, Talisman Master Gong Hang gave him all the only six or seven fourth-level talismans.
In other words, at that time, Futang already had a fourth-level martial talisman and no more.
It has only been a few months since Shang Xia went south to Taihang, but Futang has actually prepared fourteen fourth-level talismans for him, which is really valuable.
The fourth-level talisman paper is not a piece of cabbage. Even if there are enough materials, it is not something that can be made just by wanting to make it.
Ren Huan smiled bitterly and explained: "Although Brother Shang took away all the fourth-level talisman papers before, Futang has accumulated some materials for making talisman papers over the years. In the past few months, the staff affiliated to Futang
Talisman craftsmen of the third level and above are all working together to make fourth-level talisman papers, and the college has purchased them at high prices, so we have gathered these fourteen fourth-level talisman papers."
Shang Xia suddenly realized, then he felt happy and asked: "Brother Ren, are you already a fourth-level craftsman? Are all the newly made talismans here made by you?"
Ren Huan's smile was a little bitter, and he said: "Only four of the talisman papers in it are considered to be from my own hands, six are the result of everyone's joint efforts, and the remaining four were collected at a high price. I have barely crossed that threshold now."
, I would also like to thank Brother Shang for his blunt words at that time, which allowed Ren, a newcomer who had just joined the academy, to have the opportunity to trial-produce talisman papers in large quantities like other craftsmen, so that he could become a fourth-level talisman paper craftsman... that's it.
Too many materials of all kinds were wasted, I’m ashamed
ashamed!"
When Shang Xia heard this, he laughed "haha" and said: "Okay, great! Anyway, with Brother Ren, a fourth-level craftsman, at least Shang has some confidence when making the talisman.
Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll have to look forward and backward, and won’t be able to let go.”
Ren Huan waved his hand and said: "Actually, this time, the high-level materials accumulated by Futang in the past few years have been almost exhausted. If you want to have more than ten fourth-level talisman papers to make talismans in the future, I'm afraid the chance is very small.
It’s too small.”
"Why?" Shang Xia asked puzzled.
Ren Huan explained: "Among the ten newly made fourth-level talisman papers, most of them are made from the skins of fourth-level exotic animals hunted from the two realms of war. This is why the craftsmen dared to join forces to trial-produce fourth-level talismans.
The fundamental reason is that the fourth-level exotic animal skin itself is already a semi-finished product of the fourth-level talisman paper, and the production process is relatively simple. But where will there be so many fourth-level exotic animal skins in the future?"
"Although the production methods of other fourth-level talisman papers have lower requirements in terms of material quality, the production process is extremely cumbersome and difficult. It requires extremely high skills for the craftsmen to make talisman papers. For now, I am the only one in the entire talisman hall.
One person is sure to succeed, which is why I was finally recognized as a fourth-level Talisman Paper Craftsman."
Although Ren Huan tried his best to explain it in simple words, Shang Xia still heard from these words that Ren Huan's process of becoming a fourth-level talisman craftsman was not smooth.
There is not only a problem with skills, but also the problem of being ostracized and isolated as a newcomer.
Of course, this does not mean that Shang Xia's face is not useful.
On the contrary, if Shang Xia had not deliberately mentioned Ren Huan in front of Gong and Fan, he might not have had the chance to participate in the trial production of fourth-level talismans!
Ren Huan's words calmed down Shang Xia's originally somewhat excited mood.
Shang Xia thought for a while and took out a bamboo slip with densely written calligraphy from his sleeve. He handed it to Ren Huan and said, "Is there a craftsman in the Futang who can prepare fourth-level talismans?"
Ren Huan, who had just received the bamboo slip from Shang Xia, shook his hand and almost dropped the bamboo slip in his hand.
"Fourth level talisman?"
Ren Huan repeated, his face already filled with astonishment. He looked down at the bamboo slips in his hand, then raised his head and said in an incomprehensible tone: "There is no recipe for the fourth-level talisman ink in the entire Talisman Hall!"
This time it was Shang Xia's turn to be a little dumbfounded. He quickly asked: "Can we summon the third-level ink masters to jointly prepare the fourth-level Linyuan Talisman ink just like the third-level talisman paper craftsmen teamed up to trial-produce the fourth-level talisman paper?"
Ren Huan thought for a while and said: "It's difficult! After all, the production of talisman paper is different from that of talisman ink. Although I am not an ink master, I have some superficial understanding of the production of talisman ink. I am afraid that this cannot be done by many people."
Shang Xia also knew that he was a little impatient, so he thought for a moment and said: "In that case, I will leave this recipe with you for now."
"How does this work?"
Ren Huan was startled and quickly handed the bamboo slip back and said: "Such a precious thing..."
Shang Xia stretched out his hand to stop his words and said: "Brother Ren, I'm afraid I won't stay in the academy for too long, and I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to return to the academy in the future. Despite this, I still hope that I can always maintain
Take the initiative instead of being controlled by others for various reasons. Only Brother Ren can help me with this."
Shang Xia's intention was very clear, he hoped that Ren Huan could win over a group of people in his name in Futang and become a solid backing for Shang Xia, the great Talisman master.
