Immortal's Envy of Others

No.17 chapter talisman

The girls and daughters-in-law of the Li family took over Li Jie's basic necessities of life, and they didn't need to worry about the servants and those "messy and smelly men". It is said that this is the original words of the grandparents of the Li family.

But the idea of ​​holding Li Jie in his arms is just an idea after all, no one has such courage.

Even so, the girls and daughters-in-law of the Li family still felt extremely satisfied when they watched him take the cakes he handed over to him, and even eat the cakes he made himself.

After two days of eating and drinking at Li's house, Li Jie suddenly felt that his life was almost like the elder brother mentioned by Emperor Qiankun. He was very ashamed and uneasy, and just remembered the matter of the gathering of immortals, so he called Li Yunxiao up.

He also came with an uncle who has been stationed in Li's family - Li Min.

Li Min is nearly sixty years old, but he only has the fifth level of Qi Refining, but he has some research on making talismans.

The past few days of getting along let Li Yunxiao know that Li Jie seems to be very interested in making talismans, so he has already greeted this uncle in the morning, and compared to himself, this uncle also knows about Huanglonggu. More.

Sure enough, as soon as he said it, basically Li Jie fully understood the matter of Huanglong Valley and Juxian Conference.

There are no spiritual veins around Nanming Town, so there are no cultivators and sects, but Huanglong Valley is an anomaly.

Most of the time, Huanglong Valley is just an ordinary valley, but every other year at this time, there will be thick fog for nearly a month in Huanglong Valley.

In Huanglong Valley during the period of fog, there will be a lot of elixir and first-class monsters inexplicably. Although they are not very precious, there are many types of them.

Such elixir or monsters may not be very useful for refining pills, but they are quite good materials for making talismans or refining some low-level magic weapons.

In the beginning, some sects came to share a share of the pie, but after a few years, almost no sects specially organized people to collect these sudden appearance of elixir and monsters, because such low-level elixir and monsters are very important to these sects. As far as the door is concerned, it is of little value, and it is really not worthwhile to inspire teachers and mobilize people.

But it's different for those casual cultivators who are living a tight life. This is undoubtedly a small fortune that fell from the sky.

Especially some cultivators who want to learn how to make talismans can usually get a lot of free materials back.

Especially for monks who are learning how to make talismans, the Yellow Dragon Valley during each foggy period is simply a natural place to provide free talisman materials.

Generally, materials for talismans are not difficult to find, nor are they expensive, but learning how to make talismans is still a waste of money, because talisman making, especially in the early stages, must experience repeated failures.

Once or twice is nothing, but proficiently mastering a method of making a talisman often requires at least hundreds of repeated practice, so it is naturally a lot of money to accumulate, so those monks who do not have the backing of the sect generally It's hard to bear.

Yellow Dragon Valley provides them with a natural learning and training opportunity.

Also because of this, after the fog clears every year, these monks will stop in Huanglong Valley for a few days to exchange experience in talisman making or talisman seals that have been traded.

After hundreds of years of accumulation in the past, the fog period every two years in Huanglong Valley has gradually become quite famous, and it has become a meeting for monks to exchange talisman making and trading.

Although the major sects will not send people to participate, they also encourage those low-level disciples to come to learn and practice on their own.

Before Li Jie met Li Ran, he never knew that there were such things as talisman seals. After seeing talisman seals with various uses, he has been very curious and has been exploring the making and use of talisman seals.

However, there are not many talents in this field in the Tianlu Three Sects. The only elder of Tianjing Temple who is proficient in talismans is also in the critical period of retreating in bigu and looking for opportunities to advance. Naturally, Li Jie didn't bother him.

So regarding the talisman seal, all he knew was what was recorded in some classics, but most of these classics talked about how to draw talismans, and nothing else was mentioned, at least there was no systematic introduction, so Li Jie didn't quite understand it either.

Li Jie was very happy when he knew that Li Min had studied making talisman seals for decades.

Immediately he said that he wanted to see his process of making talisman seals. Although Li Min was a little surprised, he readily agreed, and immediately led Li Jie to the quiet room where he usually made talisman seals.

Li Jie, Li Yunxiao, Gu Yi, and Xiaobai watched as Li Min demonstrated the selection of materials for talisman paper, the selection of talisman brush hairs, and the blending of cinnabar for talisman one by one.

Li Min is not a genius at making talismans, but practice makes perfect.

Therefore, he chose a primary talisman that he was most sure of - the iron armor talisman to demonstrate, but the links in it were not bad at all.

Seeing Li Jie staring at him intently, Li Min was still a little nervous. Fortunately, this is a talisman he has made hundreds of times. Although he was a little nervous, his hands were very firm.

Li Jie was very engrossed in watching it, thinking that seeing is believing. Compared with the records in those books, Li Min's introduction is much more detailed.

He knew from the classics before that if he wanted to draw a talisman, he had to use special talisman paper, and at the same time, he had to use the blood containing the aura of monsters to prepare the cinnabar used for drawing the talisman, and the talisman pen was usually made of monster hair.

According to Li Min, the raw materials required for the production of talisman paper are different for primary, intermediate and advanced talismans. The production of primary talisman paper only needs five-year seven-star grass, while intermediate talisman paper not only needs 30 The seven-star grass of the 30-year period needs the assistance of the [-]-year-old Huangling grass. As for the high-grade talisman paper, the requirements are even higher.

The same is true for talisman pens and cinnabar, the higher the level, the more requirements they have. He took the trouble to explain the production requirements and materials of various talisman papers, talisman pens, and cinnabar to Li Jie one by one.

By the way, I also talked about the situation of the Juxian Conference.

Although the Immortal Gathering Conference is called Immortal Gathering, it is actually just casual cultivators building momentum for themselves. Although a lot of talisman-making materials can be collected during the foggy period, most of them are primary or intermediate talisman-making materials.

Therefore, casual cultivators who trade after the fog period generally use some elementary talisman seals, and the price ranges from a few to a dozen spirit stones. There are very few casual cultivators who understand and can make intermediate talisman seals. The price of talismans generally ranges from thirty to one hundred spirit stones.

As for the high-level talisman seals, the quantity is extremely rare. Every time the Gathering Immortals Conference, there are only a few dozen high-level talisman seals, and they are often sold for a sky-high price of hundreds or even thousands of spirit stones.

After listening to Li Min's introduction, Li Jie asked a question that he had been wondering for a long time: "What is the spirit stone for?"

……

There was a terrible silence in the quiet room.

Li Min, Li Yunxiao and Gu Yi look at each other, their expressions are even more strange and terrifying.

Suddenly Xiaobai let out a cry of "Aww", which woke them up. Li Jie still didn't understand, so he asked again: "I thought it was for cultivation at first, after all, the spirit stone contains some spiritual power, which can be absorbed by monks. , but I think you guys use it to buy and sell things?"

"Master really doesn't know?" Li Yunxiao asked hesitantly.

"I used to be with Lao Hei all the time, and never used spirit stones. Later, when I came to Tianquanmen, although some were distributed every month, you know, I never used them. I probably know its uses. It’s just that some places are not clear.”

If he didn't know Li Jie a little bit, Li Yunxiao was really afraid that he would not be able to help laughing out loud, this little master is really simple and amazing!

But he still explained seriously:

"Gold and silver used in the secular world are meaningless to cultivators. Spiritual stones are a common currency in the realm of cultivation, and the commonly used ones in the market are basically low-level spiritual stones. Uncle Shi has 300 yuan a month for low-level spiritual stones and I have put all the offerings of the ten mid-level spirit stones in the storage bag for you.

However, the reason why Lingshi can be used as a common currency in the cultivation world is because it can supplement the spiritual power of practitioners anytime and anywhere.

Generally speaking, a middle-level spirit stone can be exchanged for 100 yuan of low-level spirit stones, but usually no one is willing to exchange it, because the purity of spirit power and the ease of absorption of middle-level spirit stones are not comparable to low-level spirit stones of.

In addition, there are high-level spirit stones, but this kind of spirit stone is basically only found in some big sects. In addition, there is also a legendary super-level spirit stone, which almost no one has seen. "
