When Shang Xia started making the second-level talisman, he still chose to start with the simplest and most proficient martial talisman he had control over.
This time the talisman he planned to engrave was the second-level "Golden Sword Talisman".
However, the engraving of the "Golden Sword Talisman" was not smooth. Although there were four successful experiences in making the first-level talisman, the difficulty of making the second-level talisman was more than twice that of the first-level sigil?
Although Shang Xia had already thought about it beforehand, when he was a quarter of the way through the production of the second-level "Golden Sword Talisman", the fragment of the knife-inserting stone in his hand completely shattered into pieces, which made Shang Xia feel very distressed.
.
When Shang Xia regrouped and started to engrave the second-level "Golden Sword Talisman" seal for the second time, this time, when the engraving was about one-third of the way, a mistake once again caused the sword-inserting stone in his hand to collapse.
broken.
However, Shang Xia was not discouraged and continued to select a piece of knife-inserting stone fragment from when to carve the talisman.
This time, the carving of the second-level sigil seemed to be progressing slowly, but Shang Xia did not lose any confidence, on the contrary, he became more determined in his thoughts.
Compared with the constant attempts to make talisman at the beginning, which can even be said to be like a headless fly, relying on luck to verify, now Shang Xia has found the correct idea for making talisman.
What you need to do now is just to improve your skills in making sigils.
However, Shang Xia's third attempt at making the "Golden Sword Talisman" talisman was still not completed. Halfway through the process, the house he was in was knocked down again.
Shang Xia had no choice but to interrupt the feeling of being in one go. After opening the door, he was slightly startled. Five of the six people in Tongyou's group were standing outside the door and looking at him.
His eyes looked full of surprise, surprise, seriousness, shock and other complex emotions.
"Everyone...what happened?"
Shang Xia had some clarity for a while.
Liu Qinglan opened her palms. On her palm was a square stone piece one inch square and only five minutes thick. It was the slightly flawed first-order "Heartbeat Talisman" that Shang Xia had thrown to Chu Jia before.
talisman.
In order to use the fragments of the knife stone as effectively as possible and reduce waste, the four first-level talismans carved by Shang and Xia were all made of stone pieces one inch square but only five minutes thick.
Liu Qinglan asked in an unusually serious tone: "Did you make this?"
Shang Xia looked at Chu Jia, who was hiding behind Liu Qinglan, who quickly looked away from him, and smiled: "Yes, it was just a temporary practice... Is that why the teacher came here?"
"
"Go in and talk!"
Liu Qinglan couldn't help but broke into Shang Xia's house.
Shang Xia, who was standing in front of him, quickly stepped aside, and the other people behind him quickly followed suit and walked in one after another. Even Yun Yichen seemed to have closed the shop and followed in with a serious look on his face.
.
When Shang Xia turned around and returned to his house, he saw Liu Qinglan holding his half-carved second-level "Golden Sword Talisman" talisman in his hand for inspection.
Several other people also picked up several fragments of the talisman that were scrapped during the carving process, one by one, and looked at them in their hands.
"Is this...because of the talisman?"
Shang Xia was a little surprised that they realized the importance of the talisman so quickly.
"Are you already working on the second-level sigil?"
Liu Qinglan asked, holding the half-carved second-level "Golden Sword Talisman" talisman in her hand.
Shang Xia smiled and said: "I just started trying it, and I still haven't done it yet."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Didn't succeed."
Liu Qinglan brightened up after hearing this and said: "Does that mean you have more than just this first-level talisman?"
Shang Xia smiled and took out two other first-level "Wind Arrow Talisman" talisman and a "Heartbeat Talisman" talisman, and said: "Even with the one in your hand, all the samples are here.
It was too difficult to make the first-level sigils, so I only completed two first-level sigils and then started trying to make the second-level sigils.”
Liu Qinglan looked at the fragments on the carving table and said, "It didn't go well?"
Shang Xia smiled bitterly and said: "The idea should not be a big problem, but the craftsmanship is not yet perfect."
Liu Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. After nodding her head, she asked with an extremely serious expression: "Then do you know what these...'sigils' you made mean?"
Before Shang Xia could speak, Liu Qinglan said to herself: "After I found the talisman in Xiao Chu's place, I tried it with a piece of first-level talisman paper. I didn't use a talisman pen. I am not a talisman master myself.
Just stick on the ink pad, and then slightly control the amount of vitality injected into the talisman, and a first-level 'heartbeat talisman' will be formed."
Shang Xia was a little stunned when he heard this. He didn't remember when Liu Qinglan got the ink pad.
You know, the first-order ink pads that are prepared are all prepared on the basis of the first-order talisman. Currently, he should be the only one who has it.
Liu Qinglan didn't care what Shang Xia was thinking, but said: "A first-level talisman is nothing, but it allows warriors who are not talisman masters to make a steady stream of martial talismans with just one talisman."
, do you know what it means after this news gets out?"
"Since first-level talismans can be made, then second-level sigils can be made, third-level, fourth-level or even higher levels! If this secret is leaked, it will probably cause a sensation in the entire martial arts world, as well as countless
Coveted by people with ulterior motives!"
Speaking of this, Liu Qinglan's tone even contained a hint of rebuke: "Since you have stepped into this threshold, you should strictly keep this secret. You give the talisman to others so easily, but you don't tell her to keep it."
Do you know how much trouble this secret will cause you if it is leaked?"
Chu Jia stood behind Liu Qinglan and couldn't help but slightly stick out her tongue when she heard the words.
Shang Xia smiled and said: "Teacher, don't worry, the talisman technique I created is not so easy for others to copy or learn."
Liu Qinglan looked slightly surprised when she heard this, and said: "Everything on this talisman is clearly engraved, how can those talisman masters not understand? Besides, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world, but there are also two realms in Cangyu and Cangling.
You are not the only great talisman master, so you must not take any chances!"
After saying that, Liu Qinglan pondered for a moment and then said: "Is it really not easy to imitate?"
Shang Xia picked up a talisman and explained with a smile: "Teacher, I don't know something. The stone I used to carve the talisman is unique. I named it the 'Knife-inserting Stone'. It was the stone I used to carve the talisman in Linyuan.
The material obtained from the secret realm has not yet been found to be similar or even identical to the material, but the properties of other spiritual materials are difficult to bear the talisman."
Shang Xia continued: "Of course, the limitation of materials alone is not safe. The world is big and the starry sky is vast, and the knife stone may not be unique. But even if you can find similar materials, it is not easy to carve a talisman.
It’s not easy. There are many skills and secret techniques in it. Currently, they can be considered unique and original to the disciples. Even if others want to imitate them, they will be disappointed. After all, the talisman can be obtained by carving more than just the patterns of the talisman on it.
Come for use."
When Liu Qinglan heard this, she immediately felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's best if you are so sure. It's just that the matter is serious and it's just a little more."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It’s always better to be cautious.”
Hearing this, Shang Xia just smiled and nodded.
Liu Qinglan looked at his expression, and suddenly her heart moved, and she said in astonishment: "You didn't want to spread the word about the talisman in the first place, right?"
Shang Xia smiled and said: "As long as the martial talismans made from these talismans are used in the future, sooner or later this secret will not be kept. In fact, the idea of using talismans to make martial talismans is similar to the two-realm talisman.
It’s not uncommon among teachers, it’s just that no one has found this path yet.”
"But if you can keep it for a while, it's a moment. Besides, you have just started carving the second-level talisman now?"
Liu Qinglan retorted, then looked at Shang Xia and said, "You took out the talisman at this juncture, are you trying to create a trade fair?"
Shang Xia smiled and said: "I really can't hide anything from the teacher. Although the disciple has received support from the academy and various families, after seeing the rich and powerful efforts of the three major sects, he really has no idea whether he can gain something from the trade fair."
I'm pretty sure, so I thought about whether I could make some plans on this talisman."
Speaking of this, Shang Xia once again added: "Teacher, you must rest assured. Without my teaching, it is absolutely impossible for anyone else to learn the secret technique I use to carve the talisman. Even if someone will figure out the talisman technique in the future,
, that can only mean that he has found another way, and it cannot be the same as me."
Liu Qinglan saw that he had made up his mind and knew that persuasion was useless, so she mused: "Since you insist on this, then this matter needs to be carefully discussed."
…………
After Liu Qinglan and others left, they also took away all three first-level talismans in their hands.
Shang Xia continued to carve the second-level "Golden Sword Talisman" talisman before, but without the feeling of finishing it in one go, he had to start over again to deduce the movements of each strike of the sword if he wanted to use it again.
The orientation, strength, depth, knife falling time, cutting time, etc. are extremely complicated.
After all, he has not completed the carving of a complete second-level talisman until now, so not long after continuing the previous carving, due to the carving of a certain talisman, when the knife fell, it could not form with a certain previous talisman.
The vitality resonates, causing this talisman to be declared useless.
But this time Shang Xia felt much more calm, because although a pause in the middle made Shang Xia's process of making the talisman suddenly become extremely complicated, it also made him think about the second-order talisman in the process of calculating the falling knife and carving.
The understanding of talisman making is getting deeper and deeper, and at the same time, I have further ideas for perfecting its production methods.
So Shang Xia continued their efforts, but this time the stone slices selected were expanded from one inch square to one and a half inches, and the thickness of the original five cents was also increased to seven cents.
Compared with the first-level martial talisman, the difficulty of making the second-level martial talisman is improved in all aspects.
But if you look at it from a layman's perspective, the most direct and intuitive difference between the two is that the rune lines of the second-level martial talisman have become more complex and denser, which will undoubtedly bring certain difficulties to the carving of the talisman.
Difficulty.
In this case, Shang Xia simply exchanged it for a larger seal, which gave him more room to play in the process of carving runes, and at the same time, the difficulty of production was slightly reduced.
Therefore, after Shang Xia started making the second-level "Golden Sword Talisman" talisman for the fourth time, everything seemed to be a matter of course when it finally succeeded.
However, this change will also increase the cost of making sigils. The most direct one is the increased consumption of fragments of the knife stone.
You know, even Shang Xia himself didn't know where to look for the second cutting stone.
