No. 1 forwards to the northwest corner of Camp No. 1, which is located in a remote two-story townhouse.
The round-faced old man Feng Long crossed his legs and sat lazily on a wide-backed chair covered with the fur of a giant monster beast.
Not far from him, there sat an old man with a horse-faced face and a tall, broad-eared middle-aged man with a majestic build.
At this time, the latter said a few words briefly, then reached out and took out two talismans with a somewhat strange shape.
These two talismans are larger than ordinary talismans, and the talisman skins they use are also different from the gray-brown talisman skins used in common talismans. Their whole bodies are like white Juan, and under the light, they show a jade-like shape.
luster.
The strong man took two steps forward and handed these two strange talismans to Feng Long. The latter took them, glanced at them, and frowned:
"Just two?"
The strong man had already retreated to his seat and sat down. Hearing this, he said with a dissatisfied look on his face:
"Yes, boss, that guy from Mei Ling Road is getting more and more exaggerated. Every time I ask him to buy the forbidden talisman, he always refuses. Sometimes he says that the talisman skin is rare and hard to find, and sometimes he says that time is tight. Anyway, he just tries to find it in different ways.
On the pretext of raising the price, this time he opened his mouth and asked for 500 intermediate spiritual stones!
I retorted a little, and he immediately turned his back and said he wouldn't sell it. After I persuaded him for a long time, he relented and sold two pieces to me. He also said that if the next time he got less than 700 intermediate spiritual stones, he shouldn't go there again.
Looking for him!"
The strong man had an angry look on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, the horse-faced old man sitting opposite him suddenly screamed strangely:
"Seven hundred? How much does a third-level jade talisman cost? Is his second-level talisman more expensive than a third-level talisman? Is this Meiling Dao going crazy for spiritual stones?"
"Who says it's not? Hey, this old boy has been shaking since he took on the job of the chief talisman master of the Qin family. I went to him to buy talismans this time, but he kept showing off for two days. Don't you think
I know that when we met later, he looked like a villain, huh, I get angry just thinking about it!"
The strong man was obviously holding back his anger. As soon as the horse-faced old man stood up, he couldn't stop complaining.
After listening to the strong man's words, Feng Long frowned slightly, and just as he was about to speak, the metal door on the side suddenly buzzed open, revealing the figure of the slender old man.
Tang Dexian walked into the room and first said hello to Feng Long. Then he saw the strong man sitting aside. He was slightly startled and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said:
"Hey, the third child is back. Did this trip go well?"
"It's harmful, don't mention it, second brother." The strong man was still a little depressed when he heard the words and responded bitterly.
"What's going on?" Tang Dexian just sat down next to the strong man and said in surprise when he heard this.
The strong man had no choice but to briefly repeat what he just said.
"This Meiling Dao is really rampant after knowing it. If I had known this, I should have cast the Forbidden God Gu on him from the beginning!" Tang Dexian said with some displeasure after hearing what the strong man said.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Brother, what's going on over there?"
Feng Long interrupted the gossip of several people, looked at the old man Qinghui and asked.
Tang Dexian's face straightened when he heard this, turned to look at the round-faced old man and said:
"It didn't go well. The person refused directly, saying that he was working very well with his current teammates and didn't plan to change teams for the time being."
"Hey, this guy is really a dog sitting in a sedan chair, and he doesn't know how to lift up! Boss, anyway, we have decided to leave Linyuan City this time. If you ask me, before we leave, we should just do something big and connect the people in this team directly.
The pot is ready." The horse-faced old man frowned and interjected from the side.
At this point, he paused for a moment, then continued:
"Didn't my second brother inquire about it before? Except for the captain of the fourth level of Kaiyuan Realm, the rest of the team are all early-stage monks. We will prepare in the past few days and go there together when the time comes. After we succeed, we can directly escape thousands of miles away.
What do you think?"
After listening to the horse-faced old man's words, Feng Long frowned and pondered for a while, and then said decisively:
"Let's do it this way. Second brother, you will stay at the Baifu Inn for the next two days. Once you find any signs of their team leaving the city, you will immediately notify me via the summons board.
Third child, go find someone and ask about Kong Youdao's shift situation this time. Remember, do it in a secretive way. This guy has seen your true face and is a hidden danger. Get rid of him before you leave.
To avoid future troubles.
As for the fourth child, please don’t go out for a while, just stay here and be ready to take action at any time."
After hearing Feng Long's arrangement, several others nodded in agreement.
…
Baifu Inn.
Gao Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, quietly browsing the information on the deduction panel.
Due to its outstanding power, the Explosive Flame Curse has been his most commonly used attack skill since its predecessor, the Pyroblast Technique. After being promoted to the second level, it has been promoted three times.
At this time, there are four versions in total including the original version, namely the original version, the first version with increased power, the second version with increased power and the heart curse version.
Among them, the second version of the enhanced power is obtained by deducing it again based on the operation of the spell of the first version of the enhanced power.
After successfully practicing these spells, Gao Yuan conducted special experiments and comparisons, and finally concluded that the power of the spells increased by about 50% with each deduction in the direction of power improvement!
From the perspective of power alone, the attack power of the Explosive Flame Curse after the second power increase has reached more than twice that of the original version!
Of course, as a price, the cost of casting spells and the casting time of spells have also increased to a certain extent compared to before promotion.
But for some unknown reason, on the deduction panel, this skill still belonged to the second-level primary spell, which puzzled him!
With this in mind, he took advantage of the situation and unfolded the Explosive Flame Curse deduction panel that had been enhanced twice in power:
[Explosive Flame Curse·Double Power]: A second-level primary spell that can be deduced.
Based on the operating principles of existing spells, a new second-level primary spell is obtained through deduction, which can be expanded.
Direction 1: Increase the power of the spell, the casting cost, and the casting time. The deduction cost is 100 source of mutation.
Direction 2: The speed of casting spells is greatly increased, the consumption of spiritual energy is correspondingly increased, the consumption of real energy, the power of spells is slightly reduced, and the deduction consumption is 100 source of mutation.
The so-called [Explosive Flame Curse·Double Power] is not named by the system independently, but as the system continues to deduce and there are more and more versions of various skills, Gao Yuan gave the name to him in order to make it easier to distinguish.
But that's not the point. He felt very strange when he looked at the words in the system's description, 'Obtain second-level elementary new spells through deduction'.
From a literal point of view, even if the deduction is improved again, the level of the obtained spell is still only the second-level elementary level, even though its power may be increased by about 50% on the original basis!
This is a bit strange!
You must know that at the first level, once the skills are deduced, they will be promoted directly!
Gao Yuan was puzzled, but fortunately he still had enough sources of mutation.
Since the system prompts that the deduction is still possible, I will continue to deduce it until there are no further options!
After making up his mind, he thought about it and continued to choose direction one to increase the power of the spell!
[The second derivation of the Explosive Flame Curse and Power was successful, and I obtained a copy of the unnamed second-level primary spell!]
The gray-white system prompt text flashed by, and a set of training methods that differed in many details from the previous version emerged in his mind.
"Named 'Explosive Flame Curse·Triple Power'!"
He muttered to himself skillfully into the air, and then quickly began to comprehend.
He is practicing Grandmaster-level skills and has mastered more than ten Grandmaster-level second-level skills. Even if he practices a spell from scratch that he has never touched before, it will not take him long to master it.
What's more, this newly introduced spell has many similarities with the previous versions in many joints.
Therefore, he mastered it very quickly, and he had already understood everything in less than two hours.
It's just limited by the system mechanism. Only after a skill is successfully performed will it be judged as mastered by the system and reflected in the skill bar.
But now that he was in the city, he naturally did not dare to cast an explosive spell in this guest room.
Therefore, I could only restrain my impulse first and plan to wait until dawn before leaving the city.
Just because he was worried about this matter in his heart, he felt scratchy in his heart and couldn't get into samadhi even after meditating for a long time.
After sitting cross-legged for a while, he finally thought of a way.
He just wants to verify the system's deduction function now, and it doesn't matter which skill he uses.
Although the spell is inconvenient to cast, the talisman can be drawn directly after mastering it!
So he opened the deduction panel and browsed through the many talisman skills he had mastered, and finally focused on the evil-proof talisman.
After being promoted to the second level, the power of the evil-repelling talisman has been significantly improved.
In addition, its scope of action has also been expanded a lot.
It originally only targeted certain types of yin evil energy and had a certain repulsive effect.
However, after being promoted to the second level, its target range has expanded, and it has a strong target effect on various energies that are harmful to the human body.
Especially during this trip to the gray desert, when faced with the extremely disturbing roar of the succubus, the effect of the evil amulet was very significant.
It can always isolate the strange energy that invades the body in the first place.
In addition to the difference in the spell itself, this is also the main reason why Gao Yuan's spell can always be cast faster than the Yan Huaili brothers!
Because he had to take the path of body refining, he needed to collect a large amount of magic grass to refine the elixir.
Therefore, for a long time in the future, he may have to deal with succubi frequently, and the promotion of the evil-proof talisman can greatly improve his safety in the gray desert!
He directly unfolded the deduction panel of the evil-repelling talisman:
[Second-level evil-proofing talisman]: Second-level primary talisman, can be deduced
Based on the existing talisman drawing principles, a new second-level primary talisman drawing method is obtained through deduction, which can be expanded.
Direction 1: Increase the power of the talisman, increase the cost of making the talisman accordingly, slightly reduce the maintenance time of the talisman, and consume 100 sources of mutation.
Direction 2: Increase the maintenance time of the talisman, increase the cost of making the talisman accordingly, slightly reduce the power of the talisman, and consume 100 sources of mutation.
Gao Yuan chose direction one without thinking. For talismans that could be prepared in large quantities on a daily basis, increasing the maintenance time of the talismans did not mean much to him, at least for most talismans.
[The second-level evil-proofing talisman was deduced successfully, and a copy of the unnamed second-level primary talisman drawing method was obtained!]
After the system prompt flashed, a new set of talisman drawing methods appeared in his mind. He didn't waste any time and sat down to study it quietly.
…
It was just after one o'clock at midnight.
After drawing and scrapping four talisman skins in succession, Gao Yuan finally succeeded in drawing a new version of the evil-repelling talisman whose power was increased three times.
He couldn't wait to open the deduction panel, and there was indeed a new row of skill labels on it.
[Second-level evil-proofing talisman, triple power]: Second-level primary talisman, can be deduced
Based on the existing talisman drawing principles, a new second-level intermediate talisman drawing method has been deduced and can be expanded.
Direction 1: Increase the power of the talisman, the cost of making the talisman will be increased accordingly, the maintenance time of the talisman will be slightly reduced, and the deduction cost will be 500 source of mutation.
Direction 2: Increase the maintenance time of the talisman, increase the cost of making the talisman accordingly, slightly reduce the power of the talisman, and consume 500 source of mutation in deduction.
Direction 3: Improve the response speed of the talisman, increase the cost of making the talisman accordingly, slightly reduce the power and maintenance time of the talisman, and consume 500 source of mutation for deduction.
Looking at the information that appeared on the panel, Gao Yuan's heart moved, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, skills can still be advanced through deduction, but it has only been upgraded from one deduction to three now.
He doesn't care much about this. In order to collect a large amount of magic silver grass in the future, his income from the source of mutation will not be less. Deducing it once or three times will only consume a little source of mutation plus a little understanding.
It’s just time!
In addition, after three deductions, the source of mutation consumption required for skill deduction has also increased to 500, and there is also one more optional deduction direction.
Talisman response speed?
Looking at this newly added deduction direction, he subconsciously muttered in his heart.
If you guessed correctly, this attribute should refer to the interval between when the talisman is activated and when it begins to take effect.
By deducing in this direction, can the talisman be made effective faster? This is a very useful attribute!
Take the Diamond Talisman as an example. Because the second-level Talisman involves the process of transformation of the vitality of heaven and earth, there is generally a time interval of about three to four seconds from the activation of the Diamond Talisman to the generation of the protective air film.
Because of this shortcoming, when facing a sudden attack, talismans often have the same limitations as spells.
And if this startup time interval can be shortened, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the actual combat experience of Fu Lu!
After all, in many cases, a difference of just one and a half seconds can lead to a reversal of the situation and completely different consequences!
With this in mind, he directly chose direction three. After obtaining the new drawing method, he couldn't wait to understand it.
…
Three hours later, after drawing more than a dozen talisman skins in succession, Gao Yuan finally gave up the attempt.
He felt that he had clearly mastered all the key points of drawing the new version of the talisman, but during the drawing process, he always felt that he was missing something.
Then he thought about his failed experience in forcibly practicing the Mind-Taking Technique when he was at the sixth level of Qi training, and guessed that the reason why he could not draw successfully was related to the fact that his cultivation had not reached the middle stage of the Kaiyuan Realm.
After all, after four consecutive deductions, the latest version of the evil-repelling talisman has reached the second-level intermediate level, which is a level comparable to the middle level of the Kaiyuan Realm!
This problem is not a big problem. He has been promoted to the third level of Kaiyuan Realm for more than three months, and he is not far from the fourth level at this time.
According to his estimation, in more than a month, he will almost be able to advance!
But before that, I can upgrade the triple-power evil-repelling talisman to the master level and prepare a batch for later use. In this way, when I fight against the succubus in the gray desert, my safety can be more guaranteed.
After muttering to himself in a low voice, he then used the analysis function to upgrade the skill proficiency of the newly mastered 'Second Level Evil-Repelling Talisman·Triple Power' to the Grandmaster level.
After estimating the time, it was almost four o'clock in the morning, and there were still more than five hours before the city gate opened at 11:15.
With nothing going on, Gao Yuan took out the talisman skin and spiritual blood, and went straight to draw the newly mastered version of the master-level 'Second Level Evil-Repelling Talisman·Triple Power'.
…
It's seven quarters of the hour, which is eight forty-five in the morning.
Gao Yuan put away a small porcelain jar that had used up the spiritual blood. In his hand, there were two dozen and twenty-four newly drawn evil talismans neatly stacked.
Then he took off his robe, carefully replaced the newly drawn and new batch of evil-proofing charms into the small hidden pocket he had made himself on the inner edge of the robe.
After finishing all this, he simply ate something and then went to the counter of Baifu Inn to check out the guest room.
He happened to meet shopkeeper Yu who was doing the reconciliation, so he asked him to convey it to Shi Jun and others on the grounds that he had to go back to Linyuan City for something.
Then he stopped delaying and headed straight towards the north gate.
As soon as Gao Yuan walked out of Baifu Inn, an old man of medium build came out of the guest room not far from the main hall of the inn.
His face is very ordinary, with nothing conspicuous except for some fat bags under his eyes. He is the type who would not stand out at all in a crowd.
The old man squinted his eyes and glanced at the direction Gao Yuan left, then followed him calmly.
At the same time, his right hand, which was shrunk under his sleeve, moved slightly and trapped a palm-sized circular jade pendant hanging on his waist in his sleeve.
·
In that remote two-story townhouse, Feng Long and three others were present.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise from Feng Long's waist. The latter's heart moved and he quickly stopped the strong man who was about to go out.
He reached out and took out a palm-sized ring-shaped jade pendant.
After it was held in Feng Long's hand, a stream of light suddenly flashed across its surface. At the same time, a vague humanoid figure appeared in Feng Long's mind.
"Boss, that man has checked out, and I am following him. It looks like he is heading for the north gate. What should I do?" As soon as the projection appeared, he spoke directly.
"Checking out? Heading to the north gate? Do you want to see Linyuan City?" Feng Long frowned and muttered to himself, and then asked:
"Has he had any contact with those people from the demon hunting team?"
"No, he left Baifu Inn directly after checking out. When he came to Cross Street, he didn't wander around. He walked directly north." The figure replied directly.
Feng Long paused for a moment after hearing the words, and soon made a decision. He just listened to his quick instructions:
"You follow him. The third and fourth sons and I will go to the north gate now. If he leaves the city, we will find a place outside the city to deal with him!"
"Okay, then come over quickly." The figure agreed upon hearing the words, and then blurred for a moment before disappearing in Feng Long's mind.
