Talisman Exchange Conference
The attendees were mainly highly skilled individuals from various regions who were well-versed in talismans, followed by their disciples. Jia Xitong was probably the youngest teacher among them, so much so that he looked like a disciple who had come to audit the class and couldn't squeeze into the center of the discussion.
This exchange was more academic, focusing on the medium of talismans and discussing whether the quality of paper and ink is related to the success rate and efficacy of talismans.
"Based on my many years of experience in talisman making, this is certainly relevant."
"Naturally, the better the quality, the better the effect of the talisman."
"Quality not only affects the effect, but also the success rate of the talisman."
This is the mainstream experience.
Of course, there are also a few people who hold opposing views.
"Whether a talisman needs a carrier or not is just a classification of the characteristics of a talisman, not a distinction between the strength and weakness of its abilities."
A middle-aged cultivator argued with those who agreed, "If we have to put it in perspective, then the effect of the material on the talisman can only be demonstrated on some talismans that require a carrier."
Leaving aside those talismans that use the earth as paper and spirits as ink, even with the most common light talisman, the quality of the materials has a negligible impact on its effectiveness.
He said that as soon as he finished speaking, he was attacked by other Fu Xiu who defended his views.
"Zhang Ankang, you stubborn fool."
“We are talking about the general principles, but you have brought up a few exceptions. The Light Talisman is the lowest level of talisman, with extremely simple functions. How can you tell whether it is good or bad?”
Besides, how many people in this world can make talismans that don't require ink or paper?
However, the incantations and talismans that appeared a few years ago fully demonstrate the fact that the better the materials, the better the therapeutic effect.
"right."
Those who agree with the viewpoint nod in agreement.
"You're wrong!"
Zhang Ankang waved his hand, wanting to refute their opinions but unable to provide any examples.
Jia Xitong stood not far away, watching the poor old man.
A familiar face!
Several years ago, when Shang Yanting first came to the academy as a disciple.
He chose the puppetry class, and she would go to Zhang Ankang's classroom to attend the puppetry class every time Shang Yanting did.
Later, as they became closer, even though he was a raccoon, he always saved the best spot for himself and even wrote her name in the roster. (www.cascoo.net)
Stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside, a really good teacher.
Moreover, this viewpoint is not wrong. Even though so many people believe that the efficacy of talismans is related to ability, no one is simply following the crowd.
"Actually, what Teacher Zhang said makes sense."
Jia Xitong voted for him, saying, "The efficacy of most talismans is defined when they are created. It won't differ because the paper used to make the talisman is made of ten-year-old wood or five-year-old wood, nor will it differ because of the concentration of the ink."
Her words immediately drew everyone's attention.
Someone glanced at Zhang Ankang and asked directly, "Are you Zhang Ankang's disciple?"
"no."
Zhang Ankang shook his head. However, he was pleased that someone agreed with his point of view. "I am very gratified that my junior disciple has this idea. Who is your master?"
"...Teacher Zhang, I am also a teacher at Dingtian Academy."
"Another talisman cultivator from the Top Heaven Academy."
Upon hearing this, someone looked Jia Xitong up and down, "Since you agree with Zhang Ankang's point of view, do you have any proof?"
"This situation requires a lot of experimentation with various types of talismans to draw a conclusion, but as far as the quality of talismans is concerned, as long as the talisman-making standard is met, the ability of most talismans to perform is unrelated to the materials."
"Speaking of incantation talismans, everyone should also know about solidification talismans, right?"
She took out a bottle of rock graphite that she hadn't used in a long time.
As she moved, the others gathered around.
She rolled up her sleeves, looked around, and asked, "Does anyone have the materials to draw a solidification talisman?"
"I."
One of the young monks who had been brought on the tour raised his hand, took out a jar of ink, and carefully poured some out. His stingy manner drew strange looks, and he explained embarrassedly, "This is top-grade rock graphite that I went to great lengths to obtain; it's very hard to find."
Jia Xitong placed that tiny bit of top-grade graphite alongside the ordinary graphite she used before, then took out two sheets of cinnabar paper and drew two different solidification symbols with different inks.
The pen fell
Then the symbol is formed.
I got two ordinary steel weapons from someone and tested them myself; the results were indeed almost identical.
"look."
Jia Xitong gestured to them, "The effect is about the same."
"This... doesn't prove that your theory is correct."
They had tried to verify it using this method before, but using low-level talismans for verification had limitations, namely that the effect always had a slight deviation.
"really."
Zhang Ankang nodded in agreement, "If that powerful being who can create the Sumeru Talisman were here, perhaps we could ask him to make the talisman using several different materials. By comparing the capacity of the different talismans, we can help us explore the answer to this question."
Among those present, Shang Yanting, the only one who knew that Jia Xitong was the talisman master behind the Mi Xu Fu, looked at her.
So what if we look at her?
She was just an unknown, young raccoon who could draw a few little charms.
Drawing a few small symbols is fine.
Drawing a talisman on the spot is too ostentatious.
Just as she made up her mind, Zhang Ankang suddenly said, "By the God of Talismans, if you could grant me the honor of witnessing that great being create the Sumeru Talisman on the spot, I would be willing to be a vegetarian for three years."
"If I could see that master craftsman of the Sumeru Talisman, I would definitely invite him for a long talk."
Although they disagreed on the previous issue, even to the point of arguing, they were surprisingly united on the matter of the Sumeru Talisman.
"The Sumeru Talisman has been around for several years now, there's no need for it."
Jia Xitong couldn't understand their feelings, but for all talisman masters, the appearance of the Sumeru Talisman was extremely important.
In the past few decades, fewer and fewer people have practiced talismans. The original order of martial arts first, followed by weapons and alchemy, with talismans and formations on equal footing, has now changed to talismans being the least important and are about to disappear from the list of the five arts.
It wasn't until the appearance of the Misu Talisman that talisman practitioners saw the value of talismans.
low price,
The interior space is spacious.
Easy-to-carry small notes
It was just a thin talisman that completely overwhelmed 90% of the spatial artifacts made by weapon refiners, making all cultivators still flock to it to this day.
That's the charm of talismans.
In the year the Sumeru Talisman appeared, a large number of cultivators practicing talismans spread from Dingtian Academy to other academies. This directly revived the popularity of talisman cultivation, a practice passed down from ancient times.
Speaking of the Misu Talisman, it holds a special place in the world of talisman cultivation.
Unfortunately, to this day, the identity of the person who created this talisman remains extremely mysterious and subject to much speculation.
The only certainty is that he is at Dingtian Academy, which is why the exchange meetings have been held at Dingtian Academy for several consecutive years.
