Erbaozi’s life that defies heaven

After leaving Wanluo Pagoda, Li Xingchen did not leave and returned to Shanbasin City. After spending more than a thousand gold coins, he became worried. The [-] gold coins he had on him was taken from his master Shanliu by Meng Youlan. It can be said that from the beginning to the present, I have never created any value. I have always been chewing on my master and my sister. At the beginning of the journey of soul searching, one hundred thousand gold coins will always be spent. What to do when they are used up! And if he doesn't rely on his master later, how will he be able to raise Meng Youlan? This is quite a challenge. I don't know how he would feel if he knew that his good sister had booked another daughter-in-law for him not long ago.

So in addition to the path of soul searching, Li Xingchen also started a path to make a living. The guard was rejected by him, and he had no freedom, which affected the soul searching. Not to mention collecting herbs.

The matter of the spirit seal card was put on his agenda, and the spirit carver had no chance with him and was ruled out. The only hope is the soul carver, whose eleven souls have been idle.

The first stop to learn about the market is the bookstore. The person who asked the question ignored him, turned his face away, and asked for a book.

Bookstores are small businesses and are usually not found in busy cities. Li Xingchen searched for a while before he found a bookstore, Wuwei Bookstore, on a remote street. There was no business, and the shopkeeper was taking a nap. When he saw Li Xingchen dressed as a herb collector walking in, he cheered up and said hello: "Little brother, just take a look. If you like it, call me!"

"Brother, excuse me, I want to know about the spirit carving master." Li Xingchen's strategy of calling "brother" to someone with a smile on his face was correct. He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. The shopkeeper was also bored, so he came to chat with someone and became energetic. When he saw Li Xingchen asking the spirit engraver, he took a look and said, "Is this little brother a spirit person?"

"Brother, I am not a spiritual person, I am a warrior,"

The shopkeeper sneered after hearing this and said, "The warrior is asking about the spirit carving master! It's better to collect more medicine."

"I'm buying books for my friend. He is a spiritual person and is planning to enter this industry. Please help me buy some related books and recommend them." Li Xingchen had an idea and made up a cover.

"What's his physique?"

"The third-level constitution of metal, wood, and water."

"Third level three is not bad. To be a spiritual carver, you must be able to carve spiritual seals, and you must be able to carve knife seals and spirit-injecting seals. Then there are the basic spiritual seals. If you have a gold, wood, and water constitution, it is recommended to buy the rain seal, the spring seal, and the flying sword seal. "

"How much is a copy?"

The engraved knife seal and the soul-injecting seal cost [-] gold coins each, and the basic seal cost [-] gold coins each. You can get a discount if you buy them together.

"Then thank you, brother. I'll read it myself." He wanted to read the Soul Carver's books, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing. He ran back and asked the shopkeeper,

"Brother, why don't you have any books about the Soul Carver?"

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Why are you looking for the soul carving master's book? It must be used by at least a master in the realm of distraction." As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, his body stiffened. He did have a few soul carving master's books. The book was just transferred from the previous shopkeeper. It cost a lot of gold coins, but none of it was sold. It stayed in the glove box for more than ten years, and I kept cursing the previous boss in my heart. Look at this stupidity. Young man, I was thinking about cheating and selling it cheaply.

Li Xingchen had no idea that he had been treated as a little white sheep by the shopkeeper.

"I have collected several high-quality soul carving master's books. They have a history of hundreds of years and are of great collection value. Are you sure you want to take a look, little brother?"

"Are you sure you want to buy it after seeing it?" Li Xingchen was more thoughtful.

The shopkeeper glared and said, "Of course we won't buy or sell by force!" After saying that, he rummaged through a glove box for a long time before finding three books about Soul Engravers. The shopkeeper blew off the old age marks on the books. Hui, with a somewhat unnatural look on his face, spread the book on the counter. One is a soul engraving knife, one is a soul injecting seal, and one is a detailed explanation of soul engraving.

After seeing these three books, Li Xingchen wanted to buy them. After a few searches, he determined that they were books about the soul engraving profession. But high-end books must not be cheap. Seeing that the shopkeeper seems to have dug them out of the trash can, they must not be sold. He was a fool on the outside but looked disgusted on the inside, and said, "Brother, is this a fine product that you have collected for many years? Is this a waste that you have buried for many years?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face turned red unnaturally and he did not refute.

"How much does it cost together? If it's cheaper, I'll take it away and give it to my friends for reference!"

"One thousand gold coins each!" the shopkeeper said through gritted teeth.

"So expensive!" Li Xingchen jumped back exaggeratedly, then pretended to leave and said, "Brother, are you selling this piece of junk for one thousand? Forget it, I don't want the rest either!"

The shopkeeper was anxious and blamed himself for scaring people away by shouting too high. In fact, the price when he transferred it was higher than this price. But after so many years, it just couldn’t be sold. Which spiritual person in the trance realm is not rich? There are not many soul carvers in the ecstasy realm compared to spirit beings, and there are even fewer soul carvers in the ecstasy realm, which leads to slow sales. He hurriedly tried to persuade me: "Don't worry, little brother, the price can be negotiated! How much do you say?"

Li Xingchen pretended to be reluctant and said: "Brother, I don't want any discounts. I've packed up your three books. They are just for reference anyway, so they are of little use! Pay immediately if you can!"

The shopkeeper is also very confused. The book was transferred with real money, but now it is like giving it away for free. Why doesn't it make him feel bad? But it’s really rubbish here. It’s been more than ten years and someone asked about it today. So he struggled again with tears in his eyes and said, "Little brother, please give me two hundred more!"

"Okay, okay, pack it up!" Seeing that Li Xingchen was about to turn around again, he had no choice but to compromise.

"It cost another thousand and six, money is like running water!" Li Xingchen stuffed eight books into the versatile storage bag and walked on the street. My heart froze and I forgot everything! So I went back to Wuwei Wuwu. When the shopkeeper saw him coming back, he thought he had gone back on his word, and hurriedly said: "The goods are fully paid for, the quality is guaranteed, and there will be no returns!"

Li Xingchen froze and asked, "Brother only does one business?"

It was the shopkeeper's turn to freeze and said with a sneer: "What kind of books do you want, little brother?"

"Is there a book to hide your identity?" Li Xingchen replied in a low voice, pretending to be mysterious, like a little thief.

The shopkeeper tried his best to cooperate with his pretense, and also expressed his understanding in a sly manner, and replied: "Little brother, are you looking for the art of disguise? That is the skill of spiritual people. The art of disguise is too crude for mortals. You can buy a mask to cover up your appearance. I don’t have any good opinions about the smell. You can go to the grocery store and have a look."

Li Xingchen said goodbye to Wuwei Bookstore and purposefully found a small hotel. It was cheap, ten gold coins a day, and the environment was passable, simple and clean. It's incomparable to the Tianshui Hotel. There aren't even any guards here.

In the room, Li Xingchen couldn't wait to take out the books he just bought. He first read the five books on spirit engraving. After a rough look, he didn't gain much. Fortunately, he understood how to engrave, which is when the spirit turns the aura into a carving knife and stores it. The five-element seal is engraved on the spiritual material, and then the spiritual energy is injected into it to complete a spiritual seal card. By activating the spiritual seal card in a unique way, the engraved spell can be released. Because the basic seal method is also composed of a large number of seals, and the spirit storage material is extremely hard, mortal warriors simply cannot complete this work.

The three soul-carving books were Li Xingchen's hope. He opened the soul-carving detailed explanation first, read it carefully word by word, and exhaled heavily after reading it. Soul engraving and spirit engraving are similar, the difference is that they use different energy to engrave, and soul engraving is better than spirit engraving. The spirit seal can only carve one layer of marks, while the soul carving can carve two or more layers of marks. For example, if a rain card is used for spiritual sealing, it can only engrave a layer of rain seal on the surface of the spiritual storage card. After activating the rain card, a small spiritual rain can be cast. The scale and moistness of this spiritual rain are weaker than those of the rain card. The spiritual master personally applies the rain seal, which is called the external seal. The soul seal is different. The soul engraver can envelop the soul storage card in spiritual consciousness. Not only can it engrave on the surface, but it can also engrave layers of imprints inside the material, which is called overprinting.

At least two layers of overprinting are required. The number of overprinting layers depends on the ability of the soul carver and the quality of the materials. It is estimated that when the overprint is greater than five layers, the power of the soul seal card is greater than the power of a soul carving master's own hand seal. Therefore, soul seal cards with less than five layers are called small soul cards, and those with more than five layers are called big soul cards. As for cards with more than three layers, they have not yet been released, so multi-layer stacked cards are the goal of soul engraving masters, and some people even set ten. The layer soul card is the ultimate soul card.

Li Xingchen was fascinated by what he saw. Becoming a soul engraver was no longer a dream. His career had a clear direction. Starting from engraving, in order to support his wife, he not only had to work hard, but also had money.

The first step in developing a soul carver is that the soul gives birth to consciousness, the soul can leave the body and generate divine consciousness, which has been achieved.

The second step in developing a soul carving master is to understand the carving knife seal and use spiritual consciousness to transform the carving knife. Carve an imprint on the spirit storage material. It takes time to understand the seals, and it takes time to imprint them in the correct order in your mind. The seal method is composed of multi-dimensional arrangement of seals, which is called the sequence of seals. After arranging the seals, you have to understand the order and timeline of each seal. For the same printing method, there are small differences in the value of each person's seal sequence, which requires the seal practitioner to continuously calculate and try to fine-tune until the seal sequence can run smoothly or reach the optimal value. The stronger the soul, the faster the understanding, and the faster the Yinzi sequence can be constructed. The constructed sequence of seals is called seals, and when energy is supplied, the seals come out.

Practicing sealing is not a one-step process, and Li Xingchen is temporarily stuck here.

The next day, Li Xingchen planned to purchase a batch of cheap blank cards for subsequent practice. After comparing several stores, I finally chose to buy it from a smaller equipment store because it was cheap, but the cheapest one cost [-] gold coins. Then he bought a hundred more as a spiritual friend, spending two thousand gold coins. Li Xingchen did a preliminary calculation and found that he spent [-] on books and [-] on cards. He spent [-] before he even started. It was really a waste of money.

He initially sorted out his thoughts and realized that the path of engraving a spirit seal on the soul was only half the journey. After carving the spirit seal, he couldn't inject spiritual energy and produce a finished product, so he couldn't monetize it. If he only took the path of engraving soul seals, he would know nothing about soul seals. It would not be cheap to buy soul seals, so he could only take it one step at a time.

If he couldn't understand the Soul Carving Knife for the time being, he couldn't stay in Shanbasin City forever. The soul-seeking journey needed to continue. This time he chose to fly alone and go alone. Shanbasin City is already far away from the Exploding Spirit Cloud Area and can go directly south.

Li Xingchen, who was dressed in a herb-collecting outfit, was walking on a mountain path. He had gained some knowledge about medicines and looked around. From time to time, he would approach flowers and plants and open the pharmacopoeia to check. Looking for medicine on the side of the road is doomed to be in vain.

In one day, Li Xingchen walked nearly a hundred miles. If he ran at full speed, it would definitely be more than this distance. However, he was not in a hurry, constructing the sequence of marks while walking and grinding, which was considered to be three birds with one stone.
