Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 10 The inheritance of Talisman
"Three stacks of talisman paper, a pot of cinnabar, a talisman brush..."

Chen Mu looked at the things in front of him and fell into deep thought.

He spent more than thirty spirit stones. It's impossible for him to say that he doesn't feel sorry...

After all, he earned it bit by bit through hard work.

But is it worth the money?

Chen Mu thinks it's worth it.

Among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortality, elixirs, weapons, formations and talismans are the most outstanding.

They are elixirs, magic tools, formations and talismans. These four things can be seen everywhere in the vast world of immortal cultivation.

As a result, many cultivators have emerged who use this to earn resources for their cultivation.

Like the alchemist, no matter what your cultivation level is, as long as you can make a second-level elixir, even if you are only at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Condensation, you can immediately enjoy the treatment of a Foundation Establishment Elder in the sect.

Of course, such a high status means that few people can achieve it.

Everyone wants to advance, but this depends on talent. Even without considering talent, just practicing in the early stages consumes a lot of spirit stones, so few people can sustain it.

In the Zhao Kingdom's world of immortal cultivation, there are no more than twenty second-level alchemists in the six major sects, which is far less than the number of foundation-building cultivators.

The same is true for weapons, formations, and talismans, although not as exaggerated as those of alchemists...

Chen Mu had originally planned to wait until he was promoted to an inner disciple before trying one of the techniques. If he succeeded, he wouldn't have to worry about spirit stones anymore.

In addition, after breaking through to the third level of Qi Condensation, the effect of the Qi-boosting pills was greatly reduced, and the previous rain-making mission was no longer suitable for him...

Chen Mu took out the jade slip and looked at it carefully.

It records the methods of drawing three first-grade low-grade talismans and one first-grade medium-grade talisman, and there is also a section on the drawing experience of a cultivator named Li.

He carefully read the experience and insights. It should have been recorded by the original owner of the jade slip, not the seller. With such insights, he would not sell it...

Chen Mu chose a low-grade talisman.

Golden Arrow Talisman.

From experience, I know that the Golden Arrow Talisman is a metal talisman that is relatively simple to draw.

Chen Mu closed his eyes, held a pen in his right hand, and drew unconsciously in the air, carefully feeling and verifying his thoughts one by one.

Half a day later.

He pulled out a piece of talisman paper, picked up the talisman pen, and without dipping it in cinnabar, drew on the talisman paper first.

When he felt that there was nothing wrong, he dipped the pen in cinnabar, circulated his magic power, and used the spiritual power in his body as a guide to attract the metallic spiritual energy between heaven and earth to gather at the tip of the pen.

Chen Mu carefully drove the metal spiritual energy, because it did not belong to his own spiritual energy. If he did not control it well, the talisman pen would be damaged by the impact of the spiritual power.

"If it was a water-attributed talisman, I wouldn't have to work so hard, using my own spiritual power as a guide, and being so careful..."

Unfortunately, none of the three low-grade talismans are water-attributed, but the mid-grade talismans are...

After the metallic aura was absorbed into the tip of the pen, Chen Mu began to write with a serious expression.

A golden streak appeared on the surface of the talisman paper, slowly moving downwards. Just as it was about to reach the bottom, Chen Mu suddenly lifted it up. The golden streak remained intact, and he was delighted. The next moment, the golden streak flashed, then dimmed...

Failed…

Chen Mu stopped writing with the talisman pen and thought carefully, what went wrong?
come again...

Another half day passed, and now there were a lot of waste papers scattered on the floor of Chen Mu's room.

Chen Mu's eyes were distracted and cold sweat broke out on his head. This was caused by excessive mental exhaustion.

After a moment, he stared intently at the talisman paper in front of him, his hands not daring to shake at all, and moved slowly along the pattern of the golden arrow talisman.

"It's done!"

Chen Mu raised a talisman in his hand, the surface of which seemed to be shining with golden light, and smiled happily.

A first-grade, low-grade golden arrow talisman.

He put the only talisman he had successfully drawn into the storage bag, lowered his head and looked around. Seeing so much waste paper on the ground, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He used up more than 170 pieces of talisman paper out of the three hundred pieces before he finally succeeded in getting one.

It’s not that Chen Mu’s talent for making talismans is poor. It can even be said that his talent is quite good. His hands are steady and his mind is calm... If an ordinary disciple were to draw it, even if he used up all the 300 pieces of talisman paper, he might not be able to make a successful one.

Talisman making is the easiest of the four branches of elixir, weapon, array and talisman making to get started, and the rewards can be seen quickly.

Take the golden arrow talisman drawn by Chen Mu as an example. Once released, its power is equivalent to the golden arrow technique performed by a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Condensation. As for the specific power, it depends on the proficiency of the drawer and the magic power of the user.

Even if you don't use it yourself, a talisman can be sold for a spirit stone.

Although the amount of talisman paper consumed seems high, in fact, three hundred pieces of talisman paper are only worth one spirit stone.

Chen Mu tidied himself up and sat cross-legged.

He took out a spirit stone returned by Niu Dali from the storage bag and began to practice.

When he reached the third level of Qi Condensation, the spirit stones that could originally be used seven times could now only be used five times.

Chen Mu looked inward at his Dantian and began to condense his twenty-eighth drop of spiritual fluid...

The next morning, Chen Mu came to the Fuzhao Hall.

He returned the rain-making mission's certificate talisman to the head disciple, and thus successfully resigned...

After returning to his residence, he immediately took out paper and pen and continued to draw the talisman that belonged to him and earned it with the spirit stones.

……

A month later.

Chen Mu looked at the thirty spirit stones neatly arranged in the storage bag, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He successfully drew more than 40 golden arrow talismans this month. At the beginning, when he was unlucky, he couldn't even succeed in drawing one in a day.

But by the end of the month, the Golden Arrow Talisman was no longer difficult for him.

Unfortunately, Chen Mu wore a black robe to conceal his identity and went to Tianhe Market to sell the goods, but he found that he could not sell much in such a small-scale market.

Most of them were independent cultivators, buying two or three at a time. To save trouble, Chen Mu took a small loss and sold them all to the Treasure Pavilion set up by his master in Tianhe Market.

After putting away the storage bag, Chen Mu stopped drawing talismans.

He then began to practice magic.

There's a small disciple competition tomorrow, and this time, Chen Mu wants to improve a little bit...

...

The next day.

Chen Mu, Du Xiaokui and Xiaoshuang stood aside and collected the three spirit stones distributed by Uncle Zhang.

"It's still the same rules as before. Disciples can freely challenge the top ten disciples last time... There are only nine people this time. Niu Dali was promoted to an inner disciple more than a month ago... If you can successfully challenge him, his position will belong to you. Don't try to be clever... Think carefully, each person only has one challenge opportunity..." said Uncle Zhang.

Chen Mu, Zhu Yuelian, Lin Xuanzhu and nine others stood in a row, waiting for the challenger.

Chen Mu looked calm. In fact, ever since he unleashed the intermediate-level spell, the Heavy Wave Sword Technique, few people came to challenge him.

Lin Xuanzhu stood aside with a blank expression on his face. He used to challenge Niu Dali every time, but after learning that Niu Dali had been promoted to an inner sect disciple, he gradually gave up chasing him...

All the disciples chose the opponents they wanted to challenge, except for Chen Mu and the other two, who had no one in front of them.

Chen Mu looked up at Zhu Yuelian and Lin Xuanzhu, and thought to himself.

"It seems that I will have to compete with these two for the first place this time."

After a while.

The remaining seven places have been decided, leaving only the top three.

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Who among you three will go first?"

Lin Xuanzhu bowed and said, "Uncle Master, I would like to compete with Junior Brother Chen Mu."

Chen Mu smiled when he heard this.

Uncle Zhang asked, "Chen Mu, are you willing?"

Chen Mu had no objection and agreed with a bow.

The disciples below the stage formed a circle, while Chen Mu and Lin Xuanzhu stood facing each other on the stage.

"Junior Brother Chen, I have long wanted to learn your Chonglang swordsmanship. I hope you won't let me down later." Lin Xuanzhu said seriously, as if he had become a different person.

Chen Mu sensed Lin Xuanzhu's change, his expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Then Junior Brother, I will show you my ugliness..."

Following Uncle Master Zhang's order, Lin Xuanzhu quickly made hand gestures and condensed into a stone the size of a stool in mid-air, flying towards Chen Mu at an incredible speed.

Chen Mu didn't want to take it head-on, so he moved around. However, the stone was much more powerful than Lin Xuanzhu had ever used before. It twisted in the air and was about to hit him.

"Bang!" The sound of stone hitting water.

The stool-sized black stone was blocked by a water shield.

Chen Mu made a hand gesture with his right hand, and a water blade rushed back towards Lin Xuanzhu.

A trace of panic flashed in Lin Xuanzhu's eyes, and he raised his earth armor dangerously to block Chen Mu's water blade.

Before Lin Xuanzhu could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Chen Mu rushing towards him with a sword in hand.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuanzhu sneered instead. A small bull horn suddenly appeared in his hand. He threw it into the air and used it to meet the three-foot-long sword that Chen Mu was slashing at him.

"Crack..." With a crisp sound, Chen Mu's three-foot-long sword shattered.

"Magic weapon!" Chen Mu's expression changed.

Lin Xuanzhu laughed heartily, "How dare you challenge me, ordinary iron? I originally intended this poisonous jade horn to deal with Niu Dali... but I'll let you experience its power first!"

After saying that, a cloud of black mist suddenly spurted out from the bull's horns in the air, and then he led the black mist towards him at a rapid speed.

Chen Mu summoned the water shield, and the moment it came into contact with the black fog, it was like encountering a raging fire, crackling and sizzling, and it looked like it wouldn't last long.

Lin Xuanzhu maintained his magic power on the side, feeling very proud and thinking.

"I can block this kid's water blade technique, and I shattered his sword. Let's see how you can recover. Soon... I'll definitely let the poisonous mist destroy your face..."

"Oh no, second brother is going to lose..." Du Xiaokui shouted anxiously.

Zhu Yuelian, who was standing by, nodded when she heard this.

"We're definitely going to lose."

The disciples below the stage also began to discuss in low voices.

"Lin Xuanzhu's victory was unfair. Not only did he have a magical weapon, but he also used it suddenly."

"Shh! Keep your voice down..."

Chen Mu remained calm. He threw the remaining hilt of the sword aside, shook his head and sighed.

Then he looked up and tiptoed.

The figure immediately rushed towards Lin Xuanzhu!

"Are you crazy?" Lin Xuanzhu was stunned.

"Use your finger as a sword, and the sword energy will appear!"

Chen Mu silently recited the incantation and pointed forward to slash.

A water-blue sword energy slammed heavily onto Lin Xuanzhu's earthen armor like a wave.

Lin Xuanzhu's feet trembled when he was hit, and he reached out to touch his face, as if his face was splashed by the waves.

Lin Xuanzhu, who had regained his footing, was shocked and looked grim.

He knew that using his finger as a sword represented...

"The state of great success! The state of great success of the Chonglang sword technique!" The people in the audience exclaimed in surprise.
