Chapter 62: Blue-grey Talisman, Success
Around three or four in the afternoon, the sun gradually became less hot and dazzling.
A Chinese pastoral dog with fluffy, golden chest hair sat in the sunshine in the apartment's living room, holding its still damp back and angrily looking at the three people busy in the living room.
Liu Yu rolled the moist blue-ash in his hand into small balls of even size and handed them to Zhuang Moxing. When he picked up another large blue-ash ball, he glanced at Xiao Huang who looked aggrieved in the sunlight.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable washing so clean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Huang turned around and glared at Liu Yu with resentment, baring his teeth, which looked delicate but were actually sharp, at her fiercely.
Liu Yu just smiled it off. She knew it when she was bathing it just now. Xiao Huang would not attack anyone recognized by the spiritual treasure. No matter how fierce it appeared, it was just an appearance.
"There's no electricity in this area right now, so using a hair dryer to dry the hair is out of the question. Just make do with it. After your chest is dry, remember to turn it over and dry your back as well."
Lingbao stood beside the coffee table and nodded in agreement. Xiao Huang then reluctantly raised his butt and changed direction, sitting down with his face facing Lingbao, his eyes wet and pitiful.
But Lingbao was helping Zhuang Moxing make a blue-gray talisman at the moment, and had no time to pay attention to it at all. He was concentrating on pressing the small ball of blue-gray into the mold made by his senior brother.
Soon, freshly baked blue-gray talismans were placed on the ground. A bag of blue-gray could make 50 blue-gray talismans, which were half the size of a palm and three or four millimeters thick.
As the number of talismans increased, red flames suddenly ignited in Zhuang Moxing's palms, and he placed the blue-gray talismans in the fire to roast them. This was a roasting method he had just figured out, and it was unexpectedly useful.
The supernatural flame wrapped around the formed blue-gray talisman, the moisture in the talisman evaporated quickly, and the sticky substance was baked at high temperature and transformed into a fixed component with a stable frame.
After being roasted by Zhuang Moxing for five minutes, a blue-gray talisman gradually changed color. The turbid blue-gray had its impurities burned away during the qualitative change, becoming transparent.
The blue-gray talismans produced on the assembly line by Zhuang Moxing and his two companions were no longer blue-gray, but had become translucent blue jade plates with excellent water quality.
If this talisman were seen by a jade expert before the end of the world, he would definitely exclaim about its value and buy it at a high price.
But nowadays, no one would pick up the most perfect jade if it was dropped on the ground. It would be better to pick up a big stone because at least the stone is harder than the jade and can be used to smash zombies.
At first, Zhuang Moxing experimented with roasting. After finding that it was indeed feasible, he began to speed up the roasting speed and gradually increased the quantity.
They were baked in batches of two, three, and now five pieces each.
The blue-ash collected last night plus the ones given by Li Guangzong and others at noon were used to make a total of 104 blue-ash talismans. Three of them cracked during the baking process, and the final product totaled 101.
Liu Yu patted the green-gray mud on his hands and said, "How is it? I've finished two bags. Do you need any help?"
Zhuang Moxing placed the last finished talisman in his hand into the cloth bag. "That's enough. Let's make this many first and see if the effect is better than the yellow talisman. If it's just average, there's no need to rush to make more. We still have some yellow talismans left."
Holding a blue-grey talisman in his hand, he felt that the active spiritual energy contained in it was actually more than what he felt when he was in blue-grey form. It must be said that Qinghui's discovery was a surprise.
The unusually active aura of the talisman in his hand attracted the pure spiritual energy in Zhuang Moxing's dantian. At this moment, he had a premonition that if he took action now, the success rate of the talisman would be extremely high.
Without waiting for this feeling to disappear, Zhuang Moxing immediately placed the inkstone, brush and ink on the coffee table, sat down cross-legged, and poured cinnabar into the inky black inkstone.
As the ink stick is ground in circles, the red color is hidden under the ink. Only when you look closely can you see the red color blended into it.
Mobilizing pure spiritual energy to gather at the tip of the pen, he used a fine brush to outline the dragon-like characters, one stroke at a time without any pauses, until the last stroke was drawn, all in one go!
When Zhuang Moxing put away the blue-gray talisman with his last stroke of force, a faint golden light flashed by, and the whole talisman exploded with a strong attack wave, and the talisman exploded, and the talisman was completed!
With green jade as the base and the black dragon swimming above, even Zhuang Moxing showed surprise in his eyes when he felt the turbulent attack from within the talisman.
The blue-gray talisman actually absorbed all the pure spiritual energy on the tip of his pen without leaking out. It was more than three times the amount of spiritual energy that the yellow talisman could carry. It was truly a rare and precious item.
But when he felt that a quarter of the pure spiritual energy in his dantian was missing, he couldn't help but sigh that everything has its ups and downs. While the blue-gray talisman has a strong carrying capacity, the spiritual energy consumed in making one is also extremely large.
He simply took advantage of the high success rate of talismans at the moment and used the remaining pure spiritual energy. In less than an hour, three more blue-gray talismans were completed, but they were no longer explosive talismans, but defensive talismans.
Compared to the previous Yellow Talisman, it can withstand greater impact damage and has a relatively higher number of defense times. However, Zhuang Moxing has not experimented with it and does not know the specifics, but the quality is definitely much better than the Yellow Talisman.
Then he gently chiseled a small hole on the top of the talisman and put on a thin hemp rope that he had made himself in his spare time before the end of the world. It was simple and plain, returning to nature.
Although the style is not as fashionable as the luxury goods outside, it has its own unique charm.
He had twisted the hemp rope himself. It was soft and tough, and would not prick the skin. The yellow and green threads alternated, which surprisingly matched the color of the blue-gray talisman after being roasted.
Liu Yu stood by the dining table, put down the three-cup chicken he had just brought out from the space, raised his eyebrows and took the two talismans with thin ropes handed to him by Zhuang Moxing.
"Success?"
