Immortality cultivation starts from Dongxuan Lake

Chapter 44 Acquisition of Materials

It can be seen from the name of the store that the name of Gongsun's store is Yafeng Building.

As for the Zhao family, they directly took their name from the Zhao family's Talisman Shop.

Although the name is tacky, adding the word "Zhao Family" makes it look noble.

The word "reputation" can't be achieved just by talking about it, but it must be reflected in daily methods.

……

As for Lu Ming, he needed the hundred-year-old spirit wood, so he couldn't give up, so he nodded to Zhao Linglong and said, "I'm willing to give it a try."

Zhao Linglong nodded with satisfaction.

Although I didn’t expect that Lu Ming, who was always cautious, would be the first to agree.

If someone takes the lead, the rest will be easier.

Moreover, she has always been very optimistic about Lu Ming.

After all, in terms of age, Lu Ming had only been practicing Talisman Dao for a long time, and his level was about the same as that of the Talisman Master who was two rounds older than him.

Naturally, the talent is higher, and the possibility of understanding ancient runes is greater.

Ten materials can basically determine whether you have the talent to understand ancient runes. Even if you don't, you can still draw them by spending some spiritual stones to buy a few high-quality spiritual insects.

"Master Lu Fu, you can take some materials from Uncle Xiao." She ordered.

Shopkeeper Xiao on the side quickly handed over the materials for drawing ancient insect repellent charms.

"Sorry for the trouble, Shopkeeper Xiao." After Lu Ming took it, he cupped his hands towards Shopkeeper Xiao.

Shopkeeper Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Fu, you're too polite. I just hope Master Lu can draw it successfully!"

Seeing this, the other Talisman Masters also agreed.

Just before leaving, Master Zong glanced at Lu Ming.

With ten materials, he had no confidence that he could successfully draw it.

Looking at Lu Ming, he seemed confident.

He frowned and left the shop in thought, following Lu Ming.

Realizing that someone was following him, Lu Ming paid closer attention and soon discovered that it was the Zong Talisman Master.

He stopped and looked back: "What else does Master Zongfu have to do?"

Master Zong Talisman frowned slightly and asked: "Master Lu seems to be sure that he can draw it successfully. You know, there are ten materials. Are you really confident that you can refine the insect repellent talisman?"

Lu Ming nodded slightly and said quietly: "Of course."

"there is none left!"

Seeing him gasping for air, Master Zong's mouth twitched slightly.

"I'm just experimenting. Anyway, even if it fails, there won't be much loss. It's good to see the ancient runes." Lu Ming spread his hands and said with an indifferent expression.

Hearing this, Master Zongfu was speechless. Then his eyes lit up and he said, "It will fail anyway. I am willing to buy the materials in Master Lu's hands."

"A piece of material is worth ten spirit stones. I am willing to pay a hundred spirit stones to buy it."

Zong Fu Master added.

"Not for sale."

Lu Ming shook his head without hesitation, "This is the material given by the Zhao family, how dare I sell it."

It's okay if these materials fail. The middle-grade Talisman Master has a lot of money and can still get hundreds of spirit stones. At the worst, the spirit stones must be paid to the Zhao family.

But selling the materials is another matter.

This is clearly a slap in the Zhao family's face. When he is held accountable, he will definitely not be able to get away with it.

Master Zongfu's eyes flashed and he comforted in a low voice: "The Zhao family will not pursue these matters. Besides, it is normal for ten materials to fail. Since Master Lu is not sure, why not sell the materials."

"It will take two or three years for me and other mid-level Talisman Masters to earn one hundred spirit stones. Master Lu is still young. With these spirit stones, he can also buy some pills to improve his cultivation."

"Haha, how can pills be so easy to buy?"

"Zhao's store doesn't even have it, Baidan Pavilion...that's a premium price."

"Master Lu Fu is wrong. Although the pills in Baidan Pavilion are at a premium, and one hundred spirit stones are only enough to buy one Qi-nourishing pill, this is not necessarily the case in the Zhao family."

"If fellow Taoists sell too many talismans, the Zhao family will naturally come up with Qi Nourishing Pills."

"With different status, the things you can buy are naturally different."

"Lu has taken note of Master Zong's reminder, but these materials... I still want to try them."

Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, but he remembered Zongfu Master's words in his heart.

It's just that he didn't agree to his proposal.

He knew what the other party meant.

It's nothing more than taking the opportunity to acquire the materials in their hands and directly eliminate a competitor.

However, the Zong Talisman Master did not want to think about it. This was what the Zhao family needed, and it was not something he could decide.

You should still go all out to draw this ancient insect repellent talisman.

This is more effective than any off-board moves.

"Ugh."

Seeing Lu Ming's persistence, Master Zongfu couldn't help but sigh, "Master Lu Ming is too stubborn, I just hope you won't regret it in the future!"

After saying that, he walked away.

"regret?"

"How is that possible!" Lu Ming smiled coldly.

He had seen how to draw ancient insect repellent talismans, and the most difficult materials to obtain were high-grade spiritual blood and spiritual insect powder.

The high-grade spiritual blood required here is okay, and can still be purchased at the market by paying spiritual stones.

Only the spirit insect powder is more difficult to obtain.

It doesn't mean that any level of spiritual insect will do, but at least it must be a high-grade spiritual insect, and its bloodline must also be extraordinary.

Although the above did not clearly state what kind of spiritual insects were needed, but based on the origin of the ancient insect repellent talisman, he could easily judge that the spiritual insect powder must come from the spiritual insects on the strange insect list.

Most people don't know about the strange insect list. I'm afraid they take some easy-to-find high-grade spiritual insects and blend them with their spiritual blood to draw them into spiritual ink.

This kind of spiritual ink is purely inferior, and it is almost impossible to draw an ancient insect repellent talisman.

But for him, these are not problems.

He has the cultivated iron jaw ants, plus high-grade spiritual blood and three finished ancient insect repellent charms for him to observe.

With such sufficient conditions, miracles can be achieved with great force.

Although ten days is a bit tight, if you work harder, you should be able to draw it.

It is about obtaining the hundred-year-old spiritual wood, which must not be missed.

So he communicated with Cambrian and asked him to send ordinary iron ants to where he went every day, taking care to avoid other people.

……

When we returned to Liuyun Street, it was already dark and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

Looking at the courtyard opposite, Lu Ming paused slightly.

Then he took out the wooden sign and returned to his small courtyard.

After returning to the room, he selected three of the ten iron-clawed ants that were the smallest and had mutilated bodies, and then mixed the spiritual blood to make the spiritual ink used to draw ancient insect-repelling charms.

Using an iron claw ant as a material, mixed with spiritual blood can produce three materials for drawing ancient insect repellent charms.

Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Then he carefully studied the drawing method of ancient insect repellent symbols, especially the two ancient symbols. Lu Ming paid more attention to observation and understanding.

After half an hour, all the required materials were collected.

Immediately, he took a few deep breaths to adjust his condition, then took out his talisman pen, dipped it in spiritual ink and started drawing on the medium-grade talisman paper.

His observation of the ancient runes was still vague and half-understood. Although he looked at the finished product, it was still difficult to grasp the key points.

Lu Ming decided to maintain this state first, and then slowly comprehend it.

To put it bluntly, it’s practice.

You'll get better with practice.

Therefore, the talisman papers he used to practice his skills were all of medium quality.

After all, although the talisman papers given to him by the Zhao family were of high quality, there were only ten of them.

The price of this high-grade talisman paper is not low, and it is rare.

As Master Tongzong said before, he is only a monk at the fourth level of qi training, and it is almost impossible to obtain higher-level immortal cultivation resources.

If you want to buy high-quality talisman paper, you won't be able to sell it.

But if you have advanced skills in Fu Dao and your status is comparable to that of a monk in the late stage of Qi training, you can naturally buy elixirs to improve your cultivation.

Therefore, this ancient insect repellent talisman is bound to be obtained.

The status drawn is equivalent to that of a top-grade Talisman Master.

So he began to draw talismans.

The mana was condensed and fell on the talisman paper through conduction. The first four ordinary runes were easy to say, and they were completed in one go, but the fifth one was a bit stuck.

And the further you go, the more difficult it becomes!

Gradually, sweat began to form on Lu Ming's forehead, his face became extremely pale, and his breath became disordered.

"boom--"

Finally, the last two ancient runes failed to be drawn.

But Lu Ming did not give up.

Instead, his eyes lit up. This failure made him feel something, so he continued to draw...

When the mana is insufficient, Dazu recovers, and then continues to draw the talisman.

This cycle repeats until dawn breaks.

All ten materials failed, and the continuous drawing of talismans made him severely depleted of mana, mentally exhausted, and even felt like he was out of power.

But this is not a big problem for him.

Rest for a while and recover.

The key is that he has his head straight.

It feels like I have glimpsed a corner of that door...

The ancient runes are profound and profound, and even they contain power. Perhaps this is the real rune.

The new method actually lowers the threshold for monks to enter the Tao of Talisman practice.

It's a pity...he really doesn't have any mana anymore.

He had no choice but to rest and meditate to recover his mana, recuperate enough energy to wait until he recovered, and at the same time started cultivating iron jaw ants.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it is much easier when you have your thoughts and go in one direction!
