Chapter 66
The flow of people in the small square was a bit crowded, but in the entire Qianji City, the level of excitement can be ranked in the forefront.
The strength of the monks who set up stalls is the highest, but the strength of the monks who hang out is not much higher.
Here, stallholders not only sell unused items, but also deliberately put some strange but useless things, looking for interested people.
Many people who think they have good eyesight are often coaxed into a dizzy state, and spend a lot of spirit stones.
Of course, there are many hidden gems among them, which were picked up by some lucky people, found extraordinary, and even rose based on them.
But most of these stories are fabricated, and even if they are true, only a few of them exist after countless years.
Xu Xuan, who has experienced Xinxia's anti-fraud propaganda, will naturally not be fooled. He will not look at anything he doesn't know.
With people coming and going, he quickly found a stall selling talisman-making items.
The stall owner was a casual cultivator who was as young as him, with an immature face. There were not many things in the stall, but there were three basic talisman papers, spirit sand, and talisman brushes, all of which were of good quality.
Seeing Xu Xuan looking at these things, the stall owner immediately said enthusiastically: "This fellow Taoist, do you want to learn how to make talismans?"
"That's right, what's your opinion, Fellow Daoist?"
Xu Xuan did not deny it.
The stall owner immediately became more enthusiastic when he heard the words, and said: "Fellow Daoist, I have used the talisman pen and materials myself, and I have carefully selected each one. At the beginning, like fellow Daoist, I wanted to try making talismans, so I bought these. In the end, I found that I didn't have this material, so I had to take it out and prepare to sell it. If you are interested, fellow Daoist, you can pack thirty spirit stones and take them all away."
Xu Xuan calculated secretly, among them, ninety percent of the high-quality talisman pens of the new low-grade magic weapon alone are worth this price, which is still very cost-effective, but he cut it and said: "Fifteen spirit stones. After all, they are all second-hand goods. If they are sold, I will take them."
The knife directly broke the stall owner's defenses, and he was stunned for a while before he recovered, and said in a bad mood: "Go, go, fellow daoist, you should go to other places to have a look."
But Xu Xuan didn't leave, and continued to pester and increase the price with a smile on his face. After a few times, he tried to say: "Well, I'll give you 25 spirit stones, fellow daoist, how about giving me the book "Introduction to Talismans and Dao"?"
The stall owner had lost his temper long ago by Xu Xuan, and said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist... that's fine, I'll sell you."
He looked at Xu Xuan with a look of indescribable expression, and began to pack and put everything together.
Xu Xuan checked everything again, then paid for the Lingshi and put it in the storage bag, and left satisfied.
Saving five spirit stones may not be a big deal, but when he went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, five spirit stones bought a magic weapon glove.
Although the glove is useless to him now and has been dealt with at a low price, but if he didn't have the glove back then, if he wanted to break the golden mask of the qi-training four-layer monk, he would definitely have suffered serious injuries.
After shopping, Xu Xuan walked around again, and when he was about to leave, there was a commotion at the entrance of the square, and he heard some monks discussing something in a low voice.
Xu Xuanwen looked at the reputation, and saw a young female cultivator walking towards this side surrounded by a group of people. She undisguisedly released the foundation establishment spiritual pressure from her body, which made the Qi training monks who met along the way avoid and retreat, and did not dare to show any disrespect.
"It turned out to be her."
Xu Xuan showed surprise on his face, and found that the other party was someone he knew, and it was Jiang Yan who brought him to Qianji City back then.
Today, her appearance is still the same, but there have been some changes on the inside, her temperament is colder, combined with her cultivation base in the foundation establishment period, it is daunting.
Perhaps it was because Xu Xuan's gaze stayed for a few seconds longer, Jiang Yan immediately sensed it, and looked keenly at where Xu Xuan was.
The eyes of the two met, Xu Xuan stood in place and saluted for a while, and did not move forward, just like some monks present.
And Jiang Yan didn't intend to come over, only a strange color appeared in his eyes, and he looked away expressionlessly and continued walking.
On the contrary, Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The difference in identity and strength between the two was too great, and he was afraid that the other party would bring trouble to him.
After Jiang Yan walked away, he immediately left the place.
……
Lingtian Courtyard, inside the room.
Xu Xuan took the "Introduction to Talisman Dao" he bought and read it carefully.
There is not much content in this book. It only briefly talks about the basic requirements and points for attention in making talismans. There are also different brushwork techniques, the method of changing mana transmission, where to start, and how to finish. Finally, five basic talisman drawing methods are attached.
Although very comprehensive, but not much dry goods.
After reading it, Xu Xuan felt lonely, just like reading a popular science book for children. After reading it, he seemed to understand, but at the same time he seemed to understand nothing.
Fortunately, this book was bought by him for nothing, and it does have a little guiding effect, at least let him know some terms, so it doesn't matter.
It is impossible for any monk to spread his true technical experience unreservedly.
Throwing the book aside, Xu Xuan took out the talisman pen, spiritual sand, and talisman paper.
After mixing the talisman ink with spiritual sand as written in the book, he spread out a piece of talisman paper, dipped the ink with the talisman pen, and was ready to try.
The basic talisman is an entry-level talisman that is not even a first-order talisman. The talisman paper used is also of the basic type, and a dozen thick ones are usually only about one spirit stone.
Therefore, Xu Xuan was not afraid of wasting it at all. Mana was condensed into filaments and input into the talisman pen stably, gathered at the tip of the pen, and then he started to draw according to the cleaning talisman drawing method he had written down.
This is his first official talisman making, but the moment he started writing, he seemed to have practiced it countless times, like clouds and flowing water, and the hand holding the pen from the beginning to the end was as stable as a machine.
As Xu Xuan retracted the mana of the pen tip, the faint light shining on the lines drawn on the talisman paper suddenly subsided, and at the same time the spiritual ink solidified, forming a rune pattern that looked like a substance.
On the contrary, Xu Xuan was taken aback. Even he himself didn't expect that the first time he tried to make a talisman, he succeeded directly.
Although the cleaning talisman itself is not difficult, no matter how beginners have to waste ten or eight pieces of basic talisman paper, they can really draw it. Even if they are talented, they have to try two or three times at least.
Xu Xuan recalled what happened when he drew the talisman just now, and found that the reason for his success was that besides a good attitude, the most important thing was his control over himself.
Stable, coherent, without a trace of error.
And this kind of control is all the result of practicing martial arts, especially after his strength is nuanced, he can perfectly control every muscle in his body. As long as his physical strength is sufficient, there will never be any deviation.
Xu Xuan's eyes lit up. Among the difficulties in making talismans, steady hands are very important. As for various brushwork techniques such as pointing, hooking, sliding, retracting, and flicking, as well as how to output mana, mana changes, etc., these can be practiced slowly.
But it is an advantage to be able to control oneself perfectly, especially when learning to make talismans during the Qi training period. Compared with the realm, many talisman masters dare not guarantee that they will never shake when making talismans, and can only rely on continuous practice to maintain a stable hand feel.
