Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 43 This Money is Easy to Make

Reading can make you wiser, increase your intelligence and enhance your understanding.

Chen Yushu has always attached great importance to reading.

Before, due to the improvement of his reading level, his mental strength increased greatly, and his state of concentration was also improved from shallow concentration to minor concentration.

The efficiency of cultivation is very different.

Therefore, in his heart, he certainly hopes that his reading level can be improved again.

Unfortunately, his study level has now been upgraded to the third level, the level of increased enlightenment (62/400). The experience points required for the upgrade are relatively high, and he is still far from a breakthrough.

However, his calligraphy improved much more rapidly.

Perhaps it was because he started using a brush and paper to write, and after his mental strength increased, his thoughts, understanding, perception... every aspect was vastly different from before.

His progress in calligraphy is truly amazing.

Calligraphy +3
Calligraphy +5
Calligraphy +3
……

Practicing for one or two hours a night can increase your experience points by 20 to 30 points.

In just five days, it was improved to a regular level (189/200).

“In the second realm of calligraphy, the realm of order, it is impossible to draw symbols.”

Chen Yushu is very clear about this.

Because he had tried to "write" the runes on paper, not to mention writing them intermittently, just copying them as a whole was a bit difficult.

Runes are three-dimensional and must be completed in one go.

He couldn't even write in one go, let alone draw talismans with a talisman brush.

Even if the appearance is similar in the end, it is just a ghost painting at best. It is similar in form but not in spirit and will not be of any use at all.

Therefore, Chen Yushu was not in a hurry to practice the art of making talismans, but concentrated on practicing calligraphy. Now that he saw that a breakthrough was imminent, he suddenly became excited.

He immediately immersed himself in the writing, took out a piece of paper, and began to grind ink to write.

What he practiced was still runes.

As the saying goes, if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear. If you write more, you will naturally become familiar with it. Anyway, as long as he practices calligraphy, his calligraphy experience points will increase.

Calligraphy +2
Calligraphy +3
Calligraphy +5
……

Suddenly, Chen Yushu's heart moved.

Countless experiences related to calligraphy immediately came to his mind, and his insights flowed in his heart. It seemed that he had practiced hundreds or thousands of times in a short period of time, and he had a deeper understanding of calligraphy.

“Finally, the calligraphy breakthrough came.

Reached the third realm."

Chen Yushu immediately understood and his eyes fell on the attribute panel.

Calligraphy: Imitation (1/400)

"The third realm of calligraphy, imitation?"

This time, Chen Yushu set his gaze on a rune again, and he could see through its fundamental structure at a glance, as if peeling off silk from an onion.

Runes are three-dimensional, but they can be written with just one stroke and can be completed in one go.

Before, he only sought to "write" the rune, but he made a mistake at the beginning, so naturally it would take many strokes to complete it.

Today, it is different.

The state of "imitation writing" first requires him to understand the corresponding text.

How can you imitate it if you can't even understand it?

Therefore, he was able to understand the runes at this time, see where the strokes started and ended, and of course, he could write them smoothly.

Then soon, he began to try.

He took out a piece of white paper, pressed it with the inkstone, and started writing directly.

Once, twice, three times...

Runes are not so easy to write. Even if he has made a breakthrough in calligraphy, it will not be so easy to write them.

It was not until the tenth time that he managed to do it and completed it in one go.

"In this way, I should be able to start trying to actually draw and make talismans."

Seeing this, Chen Yushu finally felt encouraged.

Looking forward to it even more.

…In the autumn evenings, it gets dark much faster than usual.

Chen Yushu was busy all day and had no time to eat, but he finally arrived at West Street in Jianghuan Town before dark.

West Street is a deserted street with few people, but it still has shops.

Antiques, building materials, coffin shops, candle shops, incense shops, paper-making shops, woven baskets and other things that are not usually used but are sometimes necessary can all be bought here.

Chen Yushu passed by a coffin shop, which saw many coffins lying sideways. Ordinary people would feel a little scared when seeing it.

Out of curiosity, he also took a look. It was dark and deep, and suddenly a face appeared from behind a coffin, which scared him.

"Young man, do you want to buy a coffin?"

A little old man walked out slowly, smiling and revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

Chen Yushu waved his hand and said, of course not.

After walking a few more steps, we arrived at a incense shop.

"Old Fuxiang Shop."

After taking a look at the plaque, Chen Yushu confirmed that this was the shop that Li Chao had mentioned in his book "Seeing Ghosts".

This 'Lao Fu Xiang Pu' was mentioned more than once in that book.

Of course, the most common complaints are, "There's water in the old master's talisman ink again", "The talisman paper made by the old master is getting worse and worse", "I will never buy from the old master again next time"...

Although there was not a single good word.

But it was revealed that he could buy special talisman ink and paper here.

Although there are special methods for making talisman paper and ink in Chaoyang Talisman Technique, most of them are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and also require certain materials.

Of course he couldn't finish it.

For him, it would be best if he could buy it directly.

As soon as you enter the store, a unique fragrance wafts out.

He glanced around and saw that the place was filled with various types of incense, of all lengths, thicknesses and thicknesses. There were two large ones that were more than a person's height, and there was plenty of material.

In addition, there are various yellow papers, paper money, and even a few paper figures, paper cars and other things sold to the dead.

To his surprise, he also saw talismans inside.

There were no less than ten sheets stacked there, and he couldn't help but take a closer look.

"Brother, do you want to buy a talisman?
To be honest with you, these talismans of mine were all obtained from Qingsong Temple and they are very effective.

Just one card can ward off evil spirits from entering your home."

Just at this moment, an old man who looked to be in his forties or fifties came over and said with a smile.

"Is your talisman really spiritual?"

Chen Yushu glanced at the person who came. He had an eagle nose, small eyes, and a mercenary look on his face.

But he didn't see any spirituality in these talismans.

Especially the top one, which has five runes written on it, and there are at least three cracks on each rune.

In other words, this talisman is just a piece of waste paper and has no effect at all.

"Of course.

A few days ago, the housekeeper of Mr. Zhou's family bought a few from me. They are definitely useful."

The old man said with a solemn oath.

"is it?
How much does this talisman cost?"

Chen Yushu continued to ask.

"These two at the top are for warding off evil spirits, and they cost one ounce of silver each.

These two are for warding off evil spirits, and this one is for changing luck, both cost two taels of silver each.

There are also a few of these, which are used to exorcise ghosts. They are relatively expensive, costing three taels of silver each.

The two at the bottom are quite special, they are for bringing fortune, and they cost five taels of silver each."

The old man's eyes lit up, thinking that a fat sheep had arrived, and quickly began to introduce the matter.

"Really expensive."

Chen Yushu shook his head and said, "This money is really easy to make."
