As it gets darker, there are fewer people walking around in the shanty towns.
In the north area of the shanty town, there is a shack similar in size to Gao Yuan's house in the center of the third row.
With a "squeak" sound, the wooden door was pushed open from the inside.
A skinny figure walked out of the shack, arranging some messy clothes while looking back and teasing someone in the room.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the thin figure was blown away. He quickly covered his robe tightly.
Looking up at the sky again, I saw a skinny figure secretly saying that something was wrong, he cursed in a low voice and started to run away.
I saw this figure walking all the way south, crossing the gravel road leading directly to the city gate, entering the southern area, and stopped in front of a shack door in the second row near the gravel road.
Compared to the one Gao Yuan lived in, although this shack was not luxurious, it covered an area more than twice as large.
The shack is made of very solid materials, and a rainproof layer made of multiple monster animal skins is laid on top of the roof.
In a shantytown where robberies are common, the owner dares to hang out so many monster animal skins as rainproof layers without worrying about others stealing them. He is obviously confident enough in his deterrence.
The thin figure stood in front of the door and knocked a few times, then responded impatiently, and then walked in after the door opened.
There were already two people in the shack, a bald man with a sinewy face and an old man with a pale face.
Seeing the thin man enter the room, the strong man with a sinewy face raised his head and asked:
"Why is it so late today? That kid stayed in Qingyuan Mountain for so long today?"
After the skinny man entered the door, he said hello to the bald man and slumped lazily on the chair next to the door. Hearing the bald man's question, he was about to respond when the old man Qing Kui who opened the door to usher him in sneered:
"That boy has been staying in Qingyuan Mountain for a long time. I think it's because we, Mr. Gou, were delayed in finding Widow Wang? Hey, is such a trivial matter between men and women so interesting?"
The skinny man was unhappy when he heard this. He glanced at the slender old man and said:
"Of course it's interesting, tsk, like you..."
The skinny man wanted to laugh, but when he saw the bald man's eyebrows raised, he hurriedly said:
"Boss, don't be angry! Damn... I didn't delay things. I followed that kid into the mountain early this morning. Just like the previous two days, I was still digging for Netherworld Stone outside Qingliang Mountain."
"I followed the method you told me, boss, and observed it for another day. I was afraid that he would find out that he was a little far away and I didn't see clearly his specific methods, but I guessed that I still used the power of the magic weapon.
This kid's cultivation level does not seem to be very high. Every time he kills a Yin evil spirit, he has to meditate and adjust his breath for a long time. It seems that he still can't withstand the consumption of magic weapons. So I think this kid is only at the fourth level of Qi training.
Hey, these city dwellers from the north are really rich, and they only use magic weapons at the fourth level of Qi training!"
"I was scared by the magic weapon last time, otherwise, huh..." The skinny man muttered a few words rather bitterly, remembering how he ran away last time.
The bald man frowned and listened to the skinny man talking for a long time. He still had some doubts in his heart and asked:
"He is still only active in the periphery today? Why do I feel a little strange? Even if he only has the fourth level of Qi training, he can still hunt the shadows with the help of magic weapons, right?
How many Yinming springs are there on the outskirts of Qingyuan Mountain? How many Netherstones can be dug in a day? Isn’t this work in vain after excluding the consumption of evil-proofing talismans?"
I didn't know if he had been outside all day. I came back to see Widow Wang at noon. If it hadn't been for the queue, I wouldn't have come out so late! The thin man cursed a few words, but he didn't dare to say so,
Seeing that the strong man was still a little hesitant, he said casually:
"Maybe they can draw talisman themselves."
"Shit, if he could draw evil charms, he wouldn't have been picked up by the Chen family to live in the town last time. Why would he live in a shanty town and earn a living digging Netherstones?" The old man Qing Kui laughed, and then turned to the bald man.
road:
"Whatever, boss, the three of us will get rid of him together. No matter how clever he is, will he still be able to rebel?"
The bald man thought for a while and realized that it was indeed true. He had a sixth-level Qi practitioner with a magic weapon and two fifth-level Qi practitioners, but he could still overturn a young man who didn't necessarily have much practical experience.
Not successful?
So he stopped thinking about it and said in a deep voice: "Then it's settled. You two will gather at my place early tomorrow morning, and we'll block him on his way up the mountain in advance!"
Seeing that the boss had decided, the skinny man and the slender old man were shocked and nodded in agreement.
…
As winter approaches day by day, the weather is getting cooler day by day.
The temperature dropped again tonight, and on the way home, Gao Yuan clearly felt the biting coldness.
When he got home, he ate some grilled steamed buns with dried meat as usual. He lit the oil lamp and sat at the table with the "Notes on Talisman Making".
Combined with the talisman-making experience gained when the proficiency of evil-proof talismans increases, as well as the level of internal energy control, when I read "Amulet Making Notes" again, my experience is completely different from before.
Now he is not only able to more accurately grasp the various experiences summarized by the original owner's father, but he is no longer ignorant of the spiritual patterns on various talismans. He can already slightly understand the meaning of some stroke transitions.
Today he plans to trial-produce a cold-warming talisman. As the weather gets colder day by day, the role of the cold-warming talisman will become more and more important.
At this time in previous years, the original owner's father had already begun to prepare cold-warming talismans in large quantities, and he could always make a lot of money from this when winter came.
…
Taking out a piece of talisman paper and laying it flat on the table, Gao Yuan took a habitual deep breath to stabilize his emotions.
With his eyes closed, he carefully recalled the spiritual pattern of the Cold War Talisman in his mind. After confirming that it was correct, he started to move.
Use your right hand to rub two fingers in the cinnabar jar. With a few strokes, the inner energy has been integrated with the cinnabar, and the bright red cinnabar is quickly shaped into a funnel shape under the control of the inner energy.
The pen moves like a dragon, the snake moves like clouds and the water flows smoothly, and the whole set of movements is completed in one go. In the blink of an eye, a cold-warming talisman is completed.
Gao Yuan felt it for a while, and found that the inner energy consumed was less than the evil-repelling talisman, less than 20%.
After taking a look at the panel, I saw that the skill already had the attribute of the cold warding talisman.
…
Meditation Talisman, Beginner (65%)
Apotropaic Talisman, Proficiency (30%)
Warming Talisman, Beginner (65%)
A chain reaction of skill upgrading has already occurred. As the level of internal energy control brought about by the improvement of Lingxi Finger Strength to the master level, the talismans that require the cooperation of internal energy to be made will also benefit from this, greatly improving skill proficiency.
Although making the cold-warming talisman did not consume much internal energy, Gao Yuan still followed his own habits, sitting cross-legged on the small wooden platform and began to adjust his breath to restore his internal energy.
After upgrading Changchun Kung, his inner energy recovery speed increased significantly, and the consumed inner energy was quickly replenished.
The success of the cold-proofing talisman further boosted Gao Yuan's confidence, and he planned to make the dust-proofing talisman tonight.
…
The night was already deep, Gao Yuan stood quietly in front of the table, the light from the burning oil lamp illuminated the items on the table.
There are one Talisman to ward off coldness, one Talisman to ward off dust, seven Talismans to ward off evil spirits, four Talismans to lighten your body, five Talismans, and one Talisman to attract lightning. These are the talismans.
There are 17 Nether Stones the size of pigeon eggs, and there are 64 small yellow croakers left in the wooden box.
There are forty-one talisman papers and half a jar of cinnabar, which is enough for a while.
The above are all his current belongings. Gao Yuan took inventory for a while, and then began to put these things away.
He first placed the various talismans in a convenient location according to their functions, then stuffed the Netherstone into the wooden box containing the gold bars, and wrapped it in a cloth bag along with the talismans, cinnabar, and books.
Sitting cross-legged on the small wooden platform, I quietly planned my next action plan in my heart.
The first is to spend two to three days collecting Twisted Will and raise the Lingxi Finger Strength to another level. The second is to upgrade all the talismans that have been mastered to the master level.
Just the proficient-level evil-proofing talisman has already made his success rate of making talismans as high as over 90%. In view of the considerable improvement in Changchun Gong and Lingxi Finger Strength after the level is increased, Gao Yuan is a little curious about what the level of talisman-making will bring.
What a change.
The second step is to further improve the level of Changchun Gong. After all, the talismans and spells are all trivial, and the improvement of cultivation is fundamental.
The master-level Changchun Kung has already nearly doubled Gao Yuan's training speed. What about the master-level? What about above the master?
