Chapter 54 The War Ends(1/2)
Inject energy and spirit?
As a creation of living beings?
The gap between the realms of Jia Ren and Wu Laodao is too big. After studying it on my own, I couldn't figure it out for a long time.
I don’t know how many detours this reminder will save.
"Making talismans must start from the foundation, and every spiritual node is the foundation."
"If the foundation is not built, how can we build a strong building?"
Wu Laodao did his best and had nothing to hide.
If it were a casual cultivator with ulterior motives who would rather hide it, the slower you learn, the better.
Jia Ren tried to make it several times, and Wu Laodao gave guidance from the side. He gained a lot and was able to form up to seven standard spiritual nodes.
"It's getting late, I won't leave you with a meal."
Wu Laodao talked for a long time, his mouth was dry, and he issued an order to expel the guests.
"There is a real difference between having someone to guide you and having no one to guide you."
Jia Ren was mentally exhausted, and the talisman he devoted himself to was completely different from the high imitation, making him extremely tiring.
In the next few days, I will focus on self-study.
The main thing is to build spiritual power nodes, and the second is to connect them in series to lay the foundation.
For seven consecutive days, twenty-four spiritual power nodes were successfully drawn without any problems.
The next difficult thing is to connect the spiritual power nodes in series and do it in one go.
This stumped Jia Ren. He tried ten times to no avail and came to inquire.
Unlike last time, you have to pay tuition.
"Can twenty-four spiritual power nodes be achieved without any problems?"
When Wu Laodao saw Jia Ren arriving, the joy of Lingmi's visit quickly solidified on his face.
It’s too fast!
It took him nearly two years to reach this level.
Is this the difference between geniuses and ordinary people?
The rice doesn’t taste fragrant anymore.
Wu Laodao silently added leaves, grass roots and groundworm corpses to the rice pot...
"Spiritual power circulates like the human body circulating around the sky. You regard making talismans as a practice. Remember how to get started with the exercises. Remember that feeling and use it in making talismans."
Wu Laodao teaches step by step without hiding any secrets.
It is difficult to go from zero to one, but it is much easier to go from one to two.
Having someone to point you to can help you avoid many detours.
Jia Ren practiced for a day and made rapid progress. He was able to connect up to nine spiritual power nodes.
"Thank you Daoist Wu for your advice."
"This is the fee that should be paid."
Jia Ren did not ask the price, but took out two hundred ground hornworm corpses and five kilograms of spiritual rice and handed them over.
The gift of guidance goes far beyond that.
He doesn't know when the war will end, and the spiritual rice reserve cannot be used too much, so he must give priority to himself.
Jia Ren had a suspicion in his mind that he was not far away from getting started with the Demon-Seeking Talisman. I'm afraid... there wouldn't be a chance to ask for advice next time.
Wu Laodao seemed to understand something, and his smile was a little forced.
I accidentally smashed the bowl I was eating...
"Oh, it took me five and a half years to get started."
Wu Laodao looked at Jia Ren's leaving figure and was speechless for a long time.
Jia Ren took Dayuan Dan to practice, became proficient in the Turtle Element Spirit Armor, and practiced the demon-seeking talisman.
Take Dayuan Dan once, stop taking it for three days, and start again and again.
Time flies and half a month has passed.
Demon Seeking Talisman Proficiency 3.
Jia Ren held a demon-seeking talisman that exuded spiritual light, with a bright smile on his face.
"Finally successful!"
Jia Ren repeatedly recalled the key points of success, and the number of demon-seeking charms he drew increased, with the highest success rate being around 20%.
The talisman paper is used up and you need to replenish the talisman-making materials.
Wu Laodao saw Jia Ren coming to the door with something in hand and a smile on his face.
"Come here and bring any gifts!"
Except for the two of them, there are no loose cultivators in the North District, and Jia Ren is also the only target that Wu Laodao can communicate with.
The two get along well with each other and have a good relationship.
It feels like both a teacher and a friend.
When Wu Laodao saw the gift opened by Jia Ren, his eyes twitched.
Leaves, bark, grass roots... well, there are also fifty hornworm corpses.
Not too outrageous.
Seeing the tragic situation of Wu Laodao, Jia Ren became worried about food, and the daily food ration was reduced to one pound of rice.
Daily use of Turtle Breathing Technique reduces consumption, and a pound of spiritual rice a day maintains energy.
The hornworms ate the spiritual rice liquid mixed with tree sap, and their number was reduced to thirty.
Only four poisonous thorn bugs were left, and the rest were killed and plucked.
The three heterogeneous black mosquitoes that suck insect blood are the most worry-free spiritual insects and do not cost food.
The cost of spiritual rice is reduced to a minimum, and it will not be a problem to maintain this state for two years.
"Jia Daoyou's talent is unparalleled, and the old Taoist is ashamed."
Wu Laodao looked at the several demon-seeking talismans that Jia Ren took out, and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
I had known that Jia Ren was very talented, but I was still quite shocked when I saw the finished demon-seeking talisman within a month.
I feel a little better when I think that Jia Ren was taught by myself.
"There's not much talisman paper and talisman ink left."
Wu Laodao looked ashamed and took out the only one hundred and eighty blank talisman papers and twenty boxes of spiritual ink in his hand.
A maximum of 180 productions can be carried out. With the current success rate, it is enough to upgrade the demon-seeking talisman to a proficient level.
"Thank you Daoist Wu, this is the reward for purchasing the talisman paper and spiritual ink."
Jia Ren took out hundreds of earthworm corpses and five kilograms of spiritual rice, and left with blank talisman paper and spiritual ink.
Wu Laodao is a good person and treats himself sincerely. He doesn't mind giving him a hand.
More food means greater hope of survival.
Jia Ren has given enough help, and the rest depends on God’s will.
Wu Laodao looked at the rice pot. The bottom of the pot was less than half a meter, and the rest was grass roots, leaves and groundworm corpses.
Although I feel like vomiting after eating, I can only grit my teeth and persevere in order to survive.
I hope the war will end soon...
Three months flew by.
One hundred and eighty blank talisman papers had already been made, and 42 demon-hunting talismans were actually produced.
The level of the demon-seeking talisman has been raised to the proficiency level, and the success rate of making talismans is close to 40%.
Unable to make a demon-seeking talisman, he spent more energy on improving his strength and the turtle elemental spirit armor.
After all the elixirs have been consumed, the Turtle Elemental Spirit Armor, Spiritual Power Shield, and Spiritual Eye Technique have all been upgraded to the Grand Master level.
Jia Ren was still practicing in seclusion, and there was a knock on the door outside the stone house.
You don’t have to think twice to know who’s coming.
I'm afraid there won't be many living people in the outer city.
At least, Jia Ren has never seen a face other than Wu Laodao in the North District.
"Fellow Daoist Jia, what a great joy, the war between the Five Elements Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is over!"
