Red lanterns hang all over the corridor outside the study. Today is Li Shiming's first New Year in this world, and he has been in this world for more than three months.
If he hadn't seen Manager Zhang and others hanging up red lanterns, he wouldn't have known that the New Year had arrived.
The New Year reminded him of another world, his relatives and friends in that world, everything was gone. In this world, the only person who could influence him, who was a fusion of his original body’s emotions, was his father Li Wenyuan.
His father Li Wenyuan was not around at the moment. The strong feeling of loneliness made him want to find something to distract his thoughts. He took out a talisman pen from the computer room.
This talisman pen is called "Xue Ling Pen" and is much better than the talisman pen he bought.
This is the talisman pen used by the monks of the Hao family. Naturally, it is better than the talisman pens sold by the Hao family.
On the desk was a piece of green and yellow talisman paper and a small dish of talisman ink.
The talisman ink was concocted by him, and he used his consciousness to concoct it in the computer room space. Needless to say, its quality was excellent, and it definitely reached the pinnacle of talisman ink materials.
This talisman ink is a special talisman ink for the 'primary light body talisman'. He bought some in the market and found a large amount of talisman ink materials in the storage bag of a cultivator from the Hao family, which is enough for him to use for a long time.
The principle of making talismans is to use talisman paper to solidify the already formed spell runes.
There are many unexpected events in this process, such as tiny, unnoticeable pits on the talisman paper, uneven mixture in the talisman ink, slight abnormal fluctuations in the cultivator's own spiritual power, the flow rate of spiritual power when it is transmitted through the talisman pen, the process of fusion of spiritual power and talisman ink, etc.
It can be said that making talismans is a process with many unexpected events. According to the notes of the monks of the Hao family, if one can successfully make ten talisman papers out of a hundred, he can be called a junior talisman master.
From this we can see how difficult it is to make talismans. Without a lot of practice and resource consumption, it is impossible to train a qualified talisman master.
In addition, the training of a talisman master requires time. You must know that whether the talisman is successfully made or not, it is equivalent to casting a spell and will consume the cultivator's spiritual power.
With Li Shiming's spiritual power, he can only perform the "Light Body Technique" ten times. Even with a 100% success rate, he can only make ten "Primary Light Body Talismans", and then he will need to restore his spiritual power.
In addition to the need to recover spiritual power, making talismans also consumes a lot of energy, which is more difficult to recover than spiritual power.
In fact, no cultivator dares to consume too much spiritual power and energy at one time, as that would make the cultivator lose the ability to protect himself.
After a period of hard practice, he used IBM z15 to optimize the casting process again and again, allowing him to stabilize the casting time of "Light Body Technique" at one second.
With the help of IBMz15's analysis and calculation, performing the 'Light Body Technique' within one second is his current limit.
If you want to increase the speed of casting spells, you need stronger and more controllable spiritual power.
Li Shiming opened the five senses connection with IBM z15. He calmed his mind and slowly channeled his spiritual power into the Snow Spirit Pen.
The Snow Spirit Pen emitted a soft light, and his spiritual power passed through the rune array on the Snow Spirit Pen and merged with the rune ink at the tip of the pen.
At the same time, he wrote the lightness rune on the talisman paper with the intention of a convertible sports car. As soon as he drew a stroke, the light on the talisman paper flickered.
Then the talisman paper exploded in his hand, and the scattered spiritual power blew over the items on the desk.
Fortunately, the talisman I drew was a non-lethal talisman called the 'Primary Light Body Talisman', so even if it failed, it would not have any destructive power.
If you draw a 'primary fire bomb talisman', you need to always pay attention to the explosion of the talisman during the drawing process. That kind of explosion is extremely dangerous and can hurt yourself if you are not careful.
Li Shiming stopped, connected his mind to IBMz15, and started to replay the video process.
His playback was received through his five senses, as if he was back in the drawing just now, and all the sensations were fed back to his five senses through IBMz15.
He found out the reason why the talisman paper exploded during the drawing process. It was because the amount of talisman ink increased slightly in the stroke drawn by the Snow Spirit Pen.
The solution is also very simple. A trace of the spiritual power in the Snow Spirit Pen should be separated to control the talisman ink, so that the talisman ink can remain on the talisman paper exactly as required.
After failing the second time, the third time, and so on until the fifth time, he set a plan for himself to practice only five times a day.
His spiritual power is also needed to perform the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique", and this work cannot be interrupted every day.
The remaining spiritual power is used to prevent accidents. No matter how much spiritual power the talisman saves, it still requires spiritual power to activate.
Although Li Shiming only practiced five times, he gained a lot.
He had studied "Introduction to Runes" and the notes of the Hao family monks, which had recorded a large number of possible errors in the drawing process.
But what was recorded needed to be tested in practice, and repeated failures allowed him to gain valuable experience.
The biggest difference between him and other cultivators is that when other cultivators fail to draw talismans, they only know that they failed in a certain place and are not clear about the specific reason.
However, he experienced the error process again and again through the IBM z15 video, which ensured that the same mistake would not happen again.
Li Shiming took out a homemade pocket watch and looked at the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
His consciousness entered the computer room and made a bowl of spiritual rice.
He filled his stomach with spiritual rice in the study. If outsiders saw him eating only a bowl of rice without any vegetables on New Year's Day, they would probably think he was very frugal.
But if this bowl of spiritual rice is exchanged for gold, it can probably be exchanged for gold of the same volume as the spiritual rice, and this is if there are cultivators willing to exchange it.
Siqin did not come to invite him to dinner. Not long ago, Li Shiming explained some things to her. In addition, the several visits from the royal priest Gu Jia made her accept the fact that the young master had started to practice Taoism.
It is because of this that Li Shiming has quiet time without being disturbed. He does not have to worry about important moments such as cultivation or making talismans being affected by sudden interruptions.
A little bird flew into the window and landed on the desk in front of Li Shiming.
The bird looked at Li Shiming with its lively eyes, as if confirming, and then its body turned into a piece of talisman paper.
Li Shiming recognized the little bird. It was a Hundred Miles Message Talisman, a means of communication between monks.
Corresponding to the Hundred Mile Message Talisman are the Thousand Mile Message Talisman and the Ten Thousand Mile Message Talisman. The longer the distance, the higher the quality and the more expensive the price.
To use the Baili Communication Talisman, one needs to know the exact location and breath of the other monk. It is a point-to-point communication. If the monk receiving the message is not there, the Baili Communication Talisman will remain there until the spiritual power is consumed to a certain level and it will self-destruct.
Normally, the Baili Communication Talisman can last for two days, which is sufficient for ordinary communications.
"Little friend Li, there is a gathering of monks on the third floor of Tianshui Pavilion. I will take you to meet some fellow monks!"
Signed by Gu Jia, this is an invitation from Gu Jia. Gu Jia had mentioned it before, but he did not expect that the monks' gathering would be held on the New Year's Day.
