Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 135: Chapter 100: Promotion to Lower Grade Talisman Master_3

Every so often, some loose cultivators go missing for no apparent reason.

In short, the shanty town is also quite a dangerous place.

If you’re not careful, you might be targeted by a tribulation cultivator and end up dead.

”The Cultivation Realm is indeed very dangerous.”

”If it’s not necessary, it’s better to stay indoors as much as possible.”

After Jiang Fan understood this intelligence, he had a better grasp of the situation in Cyan Forest Market.

All in all, this place is like a jungle society.

If you’re not careful, you might become someone else’s prey.

It’s not uncommon for loose cultivators to fall every year.

That’s why there are so many vacant wooden houses in the shanty town.

”But the most important thing now is to learn how to make talismans.”

”And to refine a Silence Talisman.”

”Otherwise, once night comes, it’s just too noisy.”

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth; he suffered a lot.

To be honest, the soundproofing in the shanty town is really poor.

Often when couples are intimate, everyone nearby can hear it.

Especially in his home, there’s a seasoned employee from the brothel next door, making him a victim.

Of course, even without the noise from elsewhere,

he didn’t want the sounds of his night life with Weiwei to be overheard.

Thus, making a Silence Talisman was absolutely necessary.

At this moment, Jiang Fan sat in a chair with a talisman pen, talisman ink, and talisman paper on the table.

All these things were prepared for him by Elder Fu.

So he didn’t need to buy them elsewhere, saving a lot of effort.

”The talisman pen looks like an ink brush.”

”But to refine a good talisman pen, you need spirit wood and spirit beast fur.”

”Only with high-quality materials can you refine a high-tier talisman pen.”

”The talisman pen is crucial to a talisman master, just like a mage’s magic staff in the past life.”

”Because the talisman pen can transmit the spiritual power of the talisman master.”

”A high-tier talisman pen can transmit spiritual power perfectly smoothly, like Dove chocolate, but a low-tier pen might cut off intermittently, leading to a failure in talisman creation.”

”Many talisman masters fail in talisman making and have low success rates because they lack a good talisman pen.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered, recalling Elder Fu’s many teachings about the talisman pen.

It is said that the top-grade talisman pen is made from phoenix feathers, containing phoenix power.

Using this pen to draw on talisman paper imbues the talisman with the phoenix’s might.

Even a common talisman would have its power doubled.

Unfortunately, such a pen is the stuff of legends and ordinary cultivators cannot obtain it.

”Talisman ink is also not simple; it’s not mere ink.”

”Its materials come from the blood of demon beasts and spirit beasts.”

”Then, combined with other materials, it can be refined into talisman ink.”

”Of course, some special spirit wood juices can replace demon beast blood.”

”Only these liquids containing spirituality can carry spiritual power.”

”Thus allowing spiritual power to be inscribed on talisman paper.”

”Without talisman ink to carry spiritual power, the power of the talisman will not stay on the talisman paper.”

Jiang Fan felt that he had a better understanding of the key points in talisman making.

”The refining of talisman paper is also very complex.”

”Its main materials are quite diverse.”

”Some come from the hides of demon beasts; after all, beast hides themselves can carry spiritual power, making them one of the best carriers. The stronger the demon beast, the more precious its hide, so some hunters skin beasts after hunting them and sell the hides to talisman masters for refining talisman paper.”

”In addition, talisman paper can also come from the bark of spirit wood, as spirit wood bark can also carry spiritual power. Some Foundation Establishment clans, to earn money, plant a lot of spirit wood at home, then harvest the bark to refine into talisman paper. This is also a good business, with many Foundation Establishment clans earning a lot.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.

Talisman pen, talisman ink, and talisman paper are all closely related to the talisman master, and these three materials are techniques a talisman master must master.

Of course, due to the developed commerce now, these things can be purchased in stores.

But the top talisman masters need to master this craft.

Once mastered, they can make a living anywhere.

Without mastering it, they remain half-baked talisman masters.

”Let’s begin.”

Jiang Fan took a deep breath, his mind flowing with details about the Silence Talisman.

Since it’s a lower-grade talisman, the strokes aren’t many, just three strokes.

However, the three spiritual power lines must be completed in one go, and the spiritual power needs to be balanced.

Otherwise, it might result in a failure in refining.

Focusing.

Calming the mind.

He held the talisman pen, spreading out a palm-sized piece of talisman paper, dipping the pen into the talisman ink.

The primordial spiritual power within him began to flow.

Rising from the depths of the elixir field and sea of qi, entering his meridians, then reaching his right hand, flowing through his fingers into the talisman pen.

Instantly, every strand of hair on the talisman pen’s tip was infused with primordial spiritual power.

Every drop of talisman ink on it was soaked with spiritual power.

Immediately, the talisman pen moved like a freehand brush on the talisman paper, flowing smoothly.

Spiritual power seemed to permeate every corner of the talisman paper, radiating a cyan light.

Jiang Fan didn’t expect his first attempt at making a talisman to go so smoothly, watching the talisman about to be completed.

He couldn’t help but relax his mind a bit.

In that brief moment, there was a fluctuation in the spiritual power output.

Poof!

A flame surged into the air, the talisman paper instantly burning and turning to ashes.
