Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the new copy time was refreshed, and Hou Jiuming couldn't wait to go to Fangshi.
In the past half month, Hou Jiuming failed to refresh due to the reason of copying.
Therefore, I bought three bottles of Bi Ling Dan in Fangshi and stayed at home to practice hard.
Now that the time has come, I can't wait to go to Fangshi, hoping to copy a higher-level method of making talismans.
Huajiangfang City is no different from half a month ago.
There are still monks coming and going.
After entering the market, Hou Jiuming headed straight to a stall in the square with purpose.
This is a person he has investigated and copied in the past half month.
The other party also sells talismans.
But occasionally there are a few middle-grade talismans among them.
As a result, his business is much better than others that only sell low-grade talismans.
After asking He Yinong, he was confirmed to be a Talisman Maker.
It's just that his skills are not very exquisite. Although he can draw a middle-grade talisman, his success rate is very impressive.
If you can sell twenty pieces a month, it's considered good.
Because middle-grade talismans are relatively popular items.
Therefore, the other party's stall was placed in the center of the square.
This is an old man in his fifties, with gray hair and beard.
However, his complexion is as rosy as a baby's, and he has a somewhat childish look, giving him the image of a master.
As for cultivation, it is the sixth level of Qi training.
Hou Jiuming did not rush to the stall, but when passing by the stall, he pretended to look at the old man casually.
"You found a special skill, do you want to copy it?"
"whether"
"Yes~"
In an instant, the light curtain exploded, turning into majestic memories flooding into my mind.
But Hou Jiuming walked towards the innermost part of the square without stopping.
That's exactly where He Yinong set up his stall.
But just after taking a few steps, his footsteps suddenly stopped for a moment, and then he continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
"Gan, what happened? Why didn't you copy the Talisman Making Technique?"
After sorting through the things in his mind, Hou Jiuming cursed in his heart.
Because I didn’t copy the talisman-making technique just now, but I copied the method of making blank talisman paper.
For him who continues to earn spiritual stones, blank talisman paper cannot solve the current problem at all.
But what the system copies is beyond his control.
There is no other way but to wait for the next refresh to copy.
"Hey, forget it, making blank talisman paper is also a skill. It's better to have it than not to have it. At least you won't have to buy talisman paper in the future."
After comforting himself in his heart, Hou Jiuming put away his disappointment and walked to He Yinong's stall.
It's a bit unreasonable to leave directly without setting up a stall after you've come.
"Fellow Daoist Hou, you're here!" Seeing him, He Yinong greeted him enthusiastically. The stall he set up was in a remote location, and few people usually visited it.
Often I do it alone all night.
Now that I have someone to talk to, I am naturally much happier.
"Hmm~" Hou Jiuming nodded without interest, and then asked, "How is the business, Fellow Daoist He!"
As soon as Hou Jiuming's words came out, He Yinong's face immediately fell. His business is closed for three days and open for three days, but it has been strange recently.
It's been a month, and no business has come to his door. It was because he wasn't very happy in the first place, but now that he heard this, it was strange that he was happy.
Seeing his expression, Hou Jiuming immediately regained his balance.
People's joys, sorrows and joys are not the same. Happiness is often based on the pain of others.
An uneventful night passed.
It was no different from the first time setting up a stall. Not one business was done, and the two of them chatted until the end of setting up the stall.
Although I didn't copy the skills I wanted, I was still very curious about the method of copying the newly acquired blanks.
So, in the next few days, Hou Jiuming was busy.
While making tools for making talisman paper, I also searched for spiritual trees that were more than a hundred years old.
The tools for making talismans were simple, and it only took two days for a huge stone platform and basin to appear in Hou Jiuming's yard.
Talisman paper is not as simple as papermaking, which is to turn wood into wood pulp, then process it, cool it, and cut it.
Instead, it must be cut directly into thin slices according to the texture of the logs, of a specific size, attached with spiritual stones and some special herbs, and refined with spiritual fire.
It sounds simple, but the actual process is very troublesome.
It is impossible to make a batch of talisman papers without two or three days.
As soon as the tools on his side were finished, news about the century-old tree came.
However, he still needed to check in person whether it was a spiritual tree or not.
…………
Early in the morning.
The north gate of Linjiang City is in the opposite direction to the Hua River.
Hou Jiuming rode a horse and left the city.
After he decided that he wanted to make talisman paper, he entrusted the dental shop that sold the house.
Let them search for news about centuries-old trees.
I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect that in just three days, Yaxing sent seven or eight pieces of information about the century-old tree.
Later he came back to his senses.
Hundred-year-old trees may be very rare in modern times, but in ancient times, they didn't seem to be uncommon.
Many of the old ancestral houses have century-old trees.
People in this era were very superstitious and were in awe of animals and plants that lived for a long time.
Therefore, he was worried that the century-old tree would be difficult to find and there was no need at all.
After leaving Linjiang City, we rode northward for about an hour before arriving at the first destination town, Jiangbei Town.
This small town may be larger than many small towns because it is close to Linjiang City.
A long street runs from north to south, with uneven houses spreading to both sides around the street.
It was already noon and there were not many pedestrians on the street.
Most of them stay at home and eat.
Those hanging out are either rich people preparing to go to restaurants, or poor people busy with their daily lives.
"Xu~"
When he arrived at the entrance of the town, Hou Jiuming took the reins and got off his horse. He looked up and saw a grocery store selling firewood, rice, oil and salt next to him, so he led the horse forward.
The shopkeeper of the grocery store was a middle-aged man. After seeing him, he immediately asked enthusiastically.
"Whatever your guest needs, I have everything you need: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea..."
Hou Jiuming, who originally wanted to ask directly and then leave, was embarrassed to speak directly when he heard what he said.
So, I suppressed my eagerness to inquire and started to buy a lot in the store.
Not to mention, this store is not very big. At the front entrance is a large wooden box, divided into grids, filled with various grains.
Inside the store, there are shelves in front of the three walls, filled with all kinds of high-quality goods.
Not only the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea mentioned by the boss, but also rice cakes, rice cakes and other grain non-staple foods.
