Chapter 12 Making Talisman
After returning to the talisman-making room, Jiang He copied down his own martial arts method "Yi Qi Jue".
This technique can be practiced directly to the foundation-building stage, and it was left to him by his previous incarnation’s father.
The technique is moderate and peaceful, and is particularly good at controlling spiritual energy.
It is suitable for practicing talismans, and is also convenient for switching to other techniques.
However, after much thought, Jiang He still hasn't decided to teach his apprentice to practice now.
Now the relationship has not made much progress. Without gaining understanding, the fate of teaching the apprentice would be much worse than starving the master to death.
Putting the "Yi Qi Jue" in his arms, Jiang He took out a thick stack of talisman paper and began to try the Breath-Containing Talisman.
The Breath-Suppressing Talisman is a first-grade, mid-grade talisman that can restrain the spiritual fluctuations of a cultivator.
Monster beasts are very sensitive to the fluctuations of spiritual energy of cultivators. When hunting monster beasts in the wild, the Breath-Suppressing Talisman is a necessary talisman.
But it is of no use to monks.
The market for this talisman is quite large, and it was one of the most commonly drawn talismans in the predecessor's life.
Jiang He has read "Jiang Family Talisman" carefully, combining it with his previous life's countless drawings and memories.
He knew every spiritual pattern of the Breath-Hardening Talisman like the back of his hand, and now it was time to put it into practice.
Jiang He took out the newly purchased golden rhinoceros ink and ground it into ink with a burst of fragrance.
The smell of Golden Rhino Ink after more than ten years is much better than before.
No more unpleasant fishy smell.
This time Jiang He was fully prepared and lit a stick of incense to concentrate his mind.
Close your eyes and regulate your breathing in the lingering fragrance to adjust your state to the best state.
He stood up, picked up the talisman pen and began to draw.
Jiang He became more and more excited after failing to draw ten talismans in a row.
All he lacked was the control over his spiritual energy. As he gradually began to draw, he began to become proficient at it.
Before drawing the eleventh talisman, he had a vague feeling that this talisman would be successful.
Sure enough, after ten failures, the eleventh one was successfully drawn.
When Jiang He saw the spiritual patterns spreading out on the Breath-Suppressing Talisman, tears almost welled up in his eyes.
After failing to draw the Warming Talisman which could be made by a first-level Qi Training Master with his sixth-level Qi Training Master cultivation, he almost lost confidence in making talismans.
The success of the Breath-Suppressing Talisman restored his confidence.
Jiang Hacheng struck without hesitation, and following his inexplicable inspiration, he drew six more pictures in a row, all of which were successful.
After I become proficient in controlling spiritual energy, will I be able to succeed in drawing other talismans that my predecessor was proficient in at once?
Jiang He thought so and drew a first-grade middle-grade auspicious talisman.
This talisman has somewhat opposite effects to the Breath-Suppressing Talisman.
The Breath-Containing Talisman is used to restrain one's own breath, while the Good Luck-Attracting Talisman is used to sense the breath around you.
Many powerful monsters will not deliberately conceal their breath, but the auspicious talisman can sense the location of powerful monsters in advance, allowing cultivators to prepare for hunting or escape in advance.
Jiang He picked up the brush, lightly dipped it in the golden rhinoceros ink, and splashed the rich ink on the talisman paper.
The first talisman was indeed drawn successfully.
Jiang He was still delighted and continued to draw the second picture.
The second spiritual pattern suddenly dimmed before it spread halfway.
"call."
It was as if the hot blood in his body suddenly cooled down, and Jiang He felt swelling and pain in his temples and tingling in his scalp.
He slumped back in his chair, staring blankly at the wooden table that was covered in black spots from ink splatters.
"The success rate of the talisman I drew this time is higher than that of my previous incarnation, so a single failure is nothing."
Although the talisman making was not 100% successful, Jiang He still felt a little disappointed.
After the inspiration disappears, the previous ease and divine feeling no longer exists.
He picked up the failed talisman and carefully observed the reason for the failure. "The spiritual energy is chaotic. It seems that it took too long to draw. Although there is more than enough spiritual energy in the body, it is no longer as strong as before. After all, it can't output spiritual energy more stably."
A few drops of nose blood dripped onto the talisman paper, interrupting Jiang He's meditation.
Jiang He wiped the blood from his nose casually and pushed open the window.
The fresh air refreshed him.
It was still dark, and it was evening when he drew the talisman.
It seems not long?
I was so focused on drawing the talisman that I hardly felt the passage of time, nor did I feel too tired.
As soon as I finished drawing the talisman, fatigue came over me like a tide.
He now felt his limbs become heavy and wanted to go to bed for a nap, but he found that the sun was rising in the distance.
It turned out to be early morning of the next day.
Jiang He smiled bitterly, used the cleaning technique to wash off the ink splashed on his body, washed up quickly, and prepared to go to the market to sell talismans.
I was not so diligent when I was in high school.
However, once my three disciples grow up, things will be easier.
For a moment, he felt the same thoughts as those people in his previous life who always thought of raising children to provide for them in their old age.
But I have three demon lords, so I have to let their master get a golden elixir for fun in the future, right?
When he pushed the door open, he saw Bai Minxin standing in the hall. He looked tired and held a package in his arms. He was panicked for a moment when he saw Jiang He.
Jiang He didn't think much about it and said a few words: "Go to the kitchen and get what you want to eat, or just cook it yourself. I have prepared a lot of ingredients there."
Bai Minxin hugged the package in her arms tightly and looked at Jiang He in confusion.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the two dark circles were very conspicuous. It was obvious that he had overused his spiritual sense last night.
What did you do last night?
Bai Minxin discovered that a corner of black cloth was exposed from the package. That was the clothes she wore to disguise herself when she went out at night.
In order to avoid Jiang He's attention, she replied, "Okay."
He turned around and walked towards the kitchen with his back to Jiang He.
This girl, why is she so proactive today?
Jiang He was pleased with himself. No matter how cold his heart was, he couldn't escape the love of his master.
Walking in the dim sunlight, Jiang He put away the talisman that he had successfully refined yesterday.
He picked up a first-grade mid-quality magic sword and followed the sparse crowd to set up a stall in Dongfang Market.
Although Nanfang City is close, the purchasing power of the people here is generally not strong, and the reputation of my predecessor here is not good.
After careful consideration, Jiang He decided to set up a stall in Dongfang Market.
When passing by Zhao's house, the butler was still guarding the door and did not notice Jiang He in the crowd.
Speaking of which, this housekeeper was unlucky and was punished to guard the door for a year.
As a result, a year later, Lin Chi attacked Zhao's house.
He met the same person again. This time, Lin Chi's strength had a qualitative leap compared to before.
He was eager to redeem himself by making amends for his crime, but as soon as he took a step, his head was chopped off.
The closer you get to the trading area for independent cultivators, the more crowded the flow of people becomes.
In recent years, Wuyamen has relaxed the management of the markets under its jurisdiction and added many trade regulations.
For example, the trading area does not need to charge additional stall fees, and the scale of the market can be expanded.
Many outsiders came to Qingmu City to make a living.
For a moment, the entire Aoki City seemed to be thriving and prosperous.
But Jiang He knew that all this was instigated by Liu Wan, a traitor in the Demon Sect, in order to facilitate the infiltration of more Demon Sect monks.
He randomly occupied a stall with a good location and looked at the wandering cultivators who were in a hurry.
I don’t know how many of these are traitors. The storm is about to come.
