Chapter 39 Good things are grinding

When he was in Hongwu City, Master once told him some things in the city, including this pawnshop. Su Aotian didn't have a special target shop, so he happened to pass by this pawnshop, and suddenly thought that he might be able to run into something that the monk didn't redeem after he was pawned, so he came in to see his luck.

The pawnshop was deserted, and a guy was listlessly behind the counter in a daze, and when he saw Su Aotian coming in, he glanced at him, and saw that his cultivation was not high, and he didn't expect to have any oil and water, and he didn't say hello. Su Aotian was already numb to this situation, and he had long been unconcerned.

Of course, the things in the pawnshop are not like the shops, which are placed on the counter for people to choose, Su Aotian walked up to the guy and asked casually: "Is there any proper talisman material?"

As soon as these words came out, the guy was shocked. Talisman making is quite a difficult thing, the talisman master is a transcendent figure, the monk in front of him is not amazing, the cultivation is poor, but it is the talisman master, he neglected him is very bad, hurriedly replied respectfully: "That... Fellow Daoist and sit down for a while, such precious things can't be the master below, wait for me to go to the backyard and ask the shopkeeper to come out to discuss. He led Su Aotian to a table and sat down, brewed spiritual tea, and then hurriedly ran in.

Su Aotian unexpectedly asked casually in exchange for such a good treatment, in the past, what he received in the store was only the white eyes and cynicism of the guys, and this was the first time that he was entertained with spiritual tea. I took a sip at the moment, I felt that the fragrance was good, and there was a little bit of wood aura, if I drank it every day, I might be able to improve my cultivation after ten years and eight years. But it's much better than drinking water as usual, so sit and savor it slowly.

After a while, the guy led a middle-aged monk out, looking like he was only thirty years, and he had cultivated to the eighth or ninth stage of Qi refining, and when he saw Su Aotian's face and dress, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he didn't dare to slack off in his actions, and bowed to Su Aotian and said, "This Taoist friend came to the shop, but he needed talisman materials?

Su Aotian saw that he had been polite for a few weeks, so he stood up, returned the salute, and said, "Fellow Daoist is polite." I'm just stopping by to see if your shop has suitable items, as long as it is used to make talismans, whether it is talisman liquid, talisman paper, talisman pen, you can have a look. ”

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that Daoist friends came this time, but there is something that Daoist friends may be interested in." Inside please. Stretched out his hand and pushed Su Aotian behind the counter. Su Aotian expected that this kind of store would not openly rob customers, so he followed the shopkeeper into the room.

After sitting down, the guy went out with the spiritual tea, and the shopkeeper said, "Fellow Daoist, wait." He got up and went to the next room, and after a while, he came out with a box in his hand, handed it to Su Aotian with a smile, and said, "Fellow Daoist, please take a look." ”

Su Aotian opened the box and saw a pen inside, the barrel of the pen was red, the runes on it were looming, and the tip of the pen was silvery-white, which was a rune pen. In fact, Su Aotian still knows a little about talisman materials, but he has usually seen some in the store, and the talisman pen in front of him is not fake, but he doesn't know what the quality is, but the high-grade talisman pens in the store seem to be like this. He nodded at the moment, expressed his satisfaction, and asked, "I don't know what the price of this talisman pen is?"

The shopkeeper saw that he was noncommittal, he didn't know anything about talisman making, and he didn't know what the level of this talisman was, at this time, seeing that Su Aotian's face was young, he couldn't be happy and angry, and he couldn't figure out the details of Su Aotian, and he didn't dare to offend him too much, but just said: "Daoyou is an expert, you should know the value of this talisman." We wait to open the door to make a living, although we are seeking wealth, but we also pay attention to chance. As soon as I hit it off with Daoyou today, I want 200,000 spirit coins from Daoyou, what do Daoyou think?"

Su Aotian secretly said that he was really a profiteer, and some of the shops around him that were dealing in talisman-making were only about 100,000 spirit coins for high-quality talismans, and the opening of this shopkeeper doubled the price. But he didn't know how much this rune pen was worth, and he could only feel that although the rune on the barrel was inconspicuous, it gave him a complex and profound feeling, and he intuitively felt that this rune pen should not be bad. Moreover, he had already turned around the shops that operated talismans in Yuanwu City, and although he deliberately covered them up every time, he still felt that buying a good talisman pen in these shops would not be too eye-catching. This time in the pawnshop is purely coincidental, it should not attract the attention of others, and I feel a little moved.

The shopkeeper observed his words and looks, and knew that Su Aotian had some intentions, and he couldn't help but feel a little remorseful in his heart: "Could it be that this price is low?" I know that these talismans may not look amazing, but they are all rich and generous, so they should have increased the price at that time." Thinking in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but said with a smile: "Daoyou is a person who knows the goods, you should know that this talisman is extraordinary, my price is not expensive, if it weren't for my extraordinary Taoist friend, I would be reluctant to sell it at such a low price." ”

Su Aotian was naturally not confused by his words, and said in his mouth: "The price of the shopkeeper is not low, but I think this talisman pen is also pleasing to the eye, so let's do as you say, I want this talisman pen." ”

Although the pawnshop shopkeeper was a little annoyed, but this price also made him a lot of money, so he was still in a good mood, beckoned the man to come in and wrapped the talisman carefully, and said to Su Aotian: "I have a word, don't blame you." Our store only accepts pawns, regardless of the source, expired and off-the-shelf, but also sold with the fateful person. What is the entanglement of this talisman pen, it has nothing to do with this shop, and I hope that Taoist friends do not tell others. "Su Aotian said in his heart, this shopkeeper is also on the road, you don't want me to tell others, I still want you to tell others, it's best if your things come from unknown sources, and I don't want to attract the attention of others.

After handing over the spirit stone and walking out of the pawnshop, Su Aotian went to buy the rune paper and rune liquid again, and spent more than 10,000 spirit coins, and his net worth, which was originally quite abundant, shrank by half in an instant. I secretly thought that I originally wanted to make a talisman to earn spirit coins, but this talisman was not made, and the spirit coins were spent half first, and I don't know if this road can work.

After returning to the firewood room, Su Aotian was not busy refining the talisman, but studied the talisman paper and runic liquid he bought. The grade of rune paper mainly depends on its production material, the worst rune paper is made of ordinary paper with a little cinnabar and other coarse medicines, and the capacity is limited; the better rune paper, mixed with high-grade medicinal materials and the blood of fierce beasts and other materials, can hold more aura, and better rune paper is even made of some fierce beast hair as the main material. This runic liquid is also varied, most of them are carefully developed by some talismans, the formula is unique, the effect is different, and only the finished product can be bought on the market. In order to make a good talisman, Su Aotian spared no expense this time, and spent the spirit coins so much that his flesh hurt.

In the next few days, Su Aotian began to concentrate on making talismans again. As the saying goes, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." "After the material of this talisman is changed, it is really extraordinary, and the refining of the talisman is much smoother, especially the talisman pen, when drawing the talisman feels extraordinarily smooth, sometimes it suddenly feels wrong when it is halfway through the drawing, which will definitely stagnate in the past, leading to failure, at this time, the rune on the rune pen will automatically circulate, so that the rune on the paper and the rune on the pen are continuous, and the rune will not fail immediately. In this way, not only does it greatly improve the success rate of talisman making, but it can also give Su Aotian a little buffer time to correct the mistakes when drawing talismans.

For several days, the talisman was made smoothly and there were almost no failures. Su Aotian saw that the ordinary runes had been made very skillfully, so he began to think about refining high-grade runes, that is, sealing the supernatural power into the rune paper.

This time it was very unsmooth. At the beginning, he thought about starting slowly from easy to difficult, so he first chose a basic supernatural power "Clear Wave Ripple" to refine. Unexpectedly, when compressing the aura, it took a lot of effort. It turned out that the amount of aura used in the supernatural power was huge, and with his current cultivation, it was very difficult to compress it, but after all, this was a low-level supernatural power, and after spending some time, it was finally compressed. Then proceed to the next step, integrate the compressed supernatural power into the rune liquid, and encountered a problem, either unable to integrate, or dissipated, a few times he wanted to be forcibly integrated, he felt that the aura could not be controlled, and he almost wanted to burst, the fault was that he was extremely controlling, and he stopped at the critical moment, but he was afraid that he and the firewood room would be blown up beyond recognition.

It took more than half a month for Su Aotian to finally be able to integrate the compressed supernatural power into the rune liquid, but the next step, to import the rune into the rune paper, he couldn't finish it no matter what. When I was drawing the symbols, I felt very sluggish, and I couldn't finish them in one stroke. Every time he was about to draw the talisman, he couldn't go on, and there were a few times when he wanted to force the drawing, but he could feel that the aura was uncontrollable, and it was about to burst, so he had to give up. Dozens of times like this, Rao is soul is strong, and in the end he was exhausted and drowsy.

Three months passed in an instant, and Su Aotian's rune paper and rune liquid were all consumed, and none of the runes were made.

Later, Su Aotian's soul was completely overdrawn, and he had to stop, rest for a while, and recover his soul, otherwise it would cause damage to his soul, and the gains outweighed the losses.

This time the spirit was overdrawn extremely badly, and Su Aotian meditated for a day and a night before he fully recovered.

After recovering his spirit, Su Aotian no longer reluctantly made talismans, but calmed down and pondered the reason. I am completely in accordance with the rune said, the success of the previous stage also shows that there is no mistake, now the talisman is not successful, there should be two reasons, one is that this rune is not complete, the previous paragraph is correct, the content behind the problem is wrong, and the other reason is that there is no problem with the rune, the problem lies in itself.

After thinking about it, Su Aotian thought that there was no problem with the talisman itself, and the reason for the current situation should be that his cultivation was too low.

I have to say that he is very correct in this idea. The production of the talisman is indeed closely related to the talisman master's own cultivation. The higher the cultivation, the more exquisite the control of the aura, the greater the power of the supernatural powers, and the stronger the power of the talismans. Generally speaking, the talismans refined by the talisman master are subject to their own cultivation, and the talisman who refines the qi cannot make the talisman with the power of building the foundation, and the talisman who cultivates the foundation cannot make the talisman with the power of the elixir. Of course, some genius-level talismans may break this limitation, but such characters are all geniuses and demons who have not been encountered in thousands of years.

Thinking of this, Su Aotian couldn't help but have a headache. I was originally poor and white, with no long things, and finally someone had to come to the door to die, so I got a lot of windfalls, I was expecting to earn spirit stones by relying on these resources, but now the spirit stones are not earned, and the wealth has shrunk by half.

Sighing, Su Aotian drove this idea out of his head, thought about it again, and thought that he couldn't be too anxious now, the top priority was to improve his cultivation, the so-called iron still needs to be hard, and when the cultivation comes up, other problems may be solved.

The idea was certain, Su Aotian did not hesitate, and immediately put into action. During this period of time, he was addicted to talisman making, which inevitably delayed his cultivation, and at this time, he calmed down and cultivated, Su Aotian first examined his divine sense, and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised to find that during this period of time, due to the exercise of refining talismans, especially the overdraft after the divine consciousness was exhausted, his divine consciousness was refined again.

I was overjoyed at this time, because my cultivation was a bit special, and he had a great deal of help with his divine sense, and the faster his divine consciousness improved, the faster his cultivation speed could be improved. Originally, he had developed two small meridians of the wood system, which greatly increased the speed of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, and now that his divine consciousness had been enhanced, should he develop a few more meridians so that his cultivation speed could be further accelerated.

Thinking of doing so, Su Aotian first ran the Hundred Herbs Divine Wood Decision, and then guided the Wood Yuan Qi to operate in some small meridians of the body, looking for a way to the liver. Originally, this kind of development of the meridians, which is extremely dangerous, the exercises practiced by the monks are all summed up by the exploration of the predecessors, and I don't know how many people have been wasted in refining and refining in the meantime, before they have figured out the way of running the meridians. But Su Aotian is such a different outlier. Relying on his powerful divine sense, he can examine the inside of his body in great detail, and if there is a risk in the operation of the spiritual energy in the meridians, he can often detect it in advance, stop it in time before the danger reaches its peak, and find another way. Moreover, this kind of groping was extremely painful, and ordinary monks could not bear it, so this little pain was nothing to him. In this way, with a period of blind groping, he vomited blood a few times in the middle, cracked the flesh meridian a few times, and actually let him grope out a small meridian.

Seeing the results of his cultivation, Su Aotian made persistent efforts and began to run the Qiankun Water Sutra again. Due to the previous experience, this time the exploration is somewhat familiar, and there are few twists and turns, and after spending some effort, two small meridians of the water system have also been developed.

I don't know how long it has taken since this cultivation, and the consumption of divine consciousness is also very huge. In order not to be overly noticeable, Su Aotian decided to put down his cultivation first and go out to show his face.

After not going out for a long time, Su Aotian felt that the air outside was exceptionally fresh. He Shi Shiran walked around the street for half an hour, and then went to a tavern to drink some wine before returning to his firewood house.

After a long time, Su Aotian began to cultivate. Now, he can cultivate the two souls at the same time without interfering with each other. Because of the development of new meridians, the speed of cultivation has increased again. Moreover, because of the aquatic wood, although the level of cultivation of the wood-based exercises is higher than that of the water-based exercises, the cultivation speed is not slow, but there is a tendency to surpass the water-based exercises.

After cultivating all night, Su Aotian woke up from his state of concentration and felt that the concentration of heaven and earth vitality in the firewood room could not catch up with the speed of his own absorption, and he was bound to change places to cultivate. The place where the vitality of heaven and earth is rich is not nothing, but it is all in the hands of the big forces, and if you want to cultivate, you can, and the spirit coin is brought. Cultivation is really a money-burning errand, Su Aotian felt sorry for his money bag, and walked out of the firewood room and headed south of the city.

Coming to the south of the city, Su Aotian has changed his appearance and came to the jurisdiction of a great sect called the Cloud Gate Sect. This sect does not belong to the top power in this area, and its strength is similar to that of Luoxia Valley. For the sake of low-key and safety, he asked for a quiet room with a low concentration of water and energy, the price was five thousand spirit coins a month, and he had to rent it for at least one month. He first cultivated in the meditation room for three days, and then left, and after going out, he changed to the identity of a wood soul, and rented a quiet room with a medium concentration of wood vitality, and the monthly rent required 10,000 spirit coins. After cultivating in this meditation room for ten days, he went out again to change back to the identity he had when he first came, and cultivated in the Water Yuan Qi Meditation Room for three days, then went to the Wood Yuan Qi Meditation Room to cultivate for another ten days, and finally came to the Water Yuan Qi Meditation Room to practice for four days. A month passed, and the spirit coins in his pocket were less than fifteen thousand.

The next month, he came to the territory of Luoxia Valley, and this time, he first practiced ten days of water system exercises, and then twenty days of wood system exercises. Then I changed places, this time I first practiced the Ten Days Wood System Exercises, then the Ten Days Water System Exercises, and finally the Ten Days Wood System Exercises. After three months, the spirit coins were spent forty-five thousand, and for fear of arousing the suspicion of those who had a heart, he temporarily gave up his cultivation and returned to the firewood room first.

After counting on his fingers, he has lived in this firewood house for more than a year, and with the idea of three holes in the cunning rabbit, Su Aotian decided not to live anymore. After settling the bill, he left the place, and after walking out of a dozen alleys, he rented a small room in an inn.

After half a month, he found another Mu Yuan Qi Meditation Room, and this time rented it for two months at a time, cultivating the Hundred Herbs Divine Wood Duel. Then I changed places and rented a water vitality meditation room for a month to practice the Qiankun Water Sutra. After a shot like this, three years passed quickly, and the place of residence also changed two or three times, and the Qiankun Water Scripture broke through to the third period, and two years later, the Baicao Shenmu Decisive broke through to the sixth period.
