Chapter 151: Ultimate Talisman
Tianhe City covers an area of thousands of miles.
The city is not entirely plain, there are many small mountain ranges, and the caves rented by the monks are located in such places.
As for courtyards, that is another matter.
The land that Wangxianlou rents out includes caves and courtyards, which are divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D.
A first-class cave with its own hot spring, a large spirit gathering array and a fifth-tier defense array that can withstand attacks from the gods. It covers an area of ten acres and is fully equipped with a meditation room, an alchemy room, an equipment room and an animal room. The monthly rent is 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
The second-class cave is equipped with a medium-sized spirit gathering array and a fourth-level defense array, covering an area of seven acres. Inside the cave, there are a meditation room, an alchemy room, and a beast room. The monthly rent is 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
The C-grade cave is equipped with a small spirit gathering array and a third-tier defense array, covering an area of four acres. Inside the cave, there are a meditation room and an animal room. The monthly rent is two thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
The Ding-grade cave residence has no formation layout and occupies an area of one mu. There is only a meditation room in the cave residence, and the monthly rent is one hundred medium-grade spirit stones.
As for the courtyards, the layouts corresponding to the four levels are similar to those of the cave dwellings, but the rental price is 10% higher than that of the cave dwellings of the same level.
Su Qingwu finally chose the Class D cave with the lowest monthly rent, and the lease term was tentatively set at one year.
After paying 1,200 medium-grade spirit stones, she successfully obtained a purple diamond-shaped wooden plaque.
There are eight characters engraved on it: Luoxia Mountain Range Ding Jiujiu
By injecting spiritual power into the wooden sign, a signpost will automatically appear, pointing to the specific location of the cave, so there is no need to worry about getting lost along the way.
I chose the Ding-level cave just to save some spirit stones.
Tianhe City has a special patrol guard team that does not allow monks to fight privately. Living in the cave, the probability of being attacked is extremely low.
At that time, she will set up some restrictions to prevent spiritual prying.
In this way, even if you really encounter someone with bad intentions, you can discover it at the first time.
After getting the wooden sign, Su Qingwu left Wangxian Tower and tried to inject spiritual power into it.
The next moment, a lavender light slowly emerged from the wooden sign and transformed into a purple psytomorphic butterfly, flying towards the southwest.
Su Qingwu immediately followed, and after about half an incense stick of time, they arrived at the Luoxia Mountains.
Psylocke flew to the sunny side of the mountainside and circled around a sycamore tree.
The entrance to the cave is right there.
Su Qingwu appeared with a flash of light and came closer. Holding the wooden sign in his hand, he waved his sleeves. The door of the cave behind the phoenix tree slowly opened and the purple spirit butterfly disappeared.
Looking at this scene, she turned her thoughts to the searching butterfly that had been staying in the space.
This spirit pet can help track fleeing enemies.
However, since I tamed it, it has only worked once or twice.
Of course, this doesn't mean she's ready to give up.
Most of the enemies she encountered in the past were killed by her on the spot, leaving them no chance of escape, so there was naturally no need for her to help.
Now in the Yuanji world, everything in the future is unknown.
Considering the treasures she possesses, if the news leaks out, her enemies will be endless.
Maybe from one day on, tracking butterflies will become one of her daily fighting partners...
Thinking of this, Su Qingwu withdrew his complicated thoughts and walked into the cave.
Although it was daytime, the light in the cave was very dim.
Su Qingwu waved his sleeves and released the Fire Beast, which spewed out more than ten balls of flame that landed on the oil lamps hanging on the walls around the cave.
The dim light suddenly became bright, adding a bit of warmth, and there was no longer any sense of oppression.
The cave covers an area of one acre and although it only has a meditation room, the space is large enough.
The floor was paved with green bricks, and there were beds, futons, tables and chairs, all clean and tidy without a speck of dust.
Upon closer inspection, one can discover that many dust removal formations are carved on the walls surrounding the cave.
Perhaps it is so insignificant that it is not specifically stated in the lease details.
Su Qingwu waved his sleeves and set up soundproofing and anti-spiritual spying barriers around the cave. Then he walked to the ten-foot-long and five-foot-wide sandalwood table, took out the purchased blank talisman paper and cinnabar, and prepared the existing talisman pen, ruler and inkstone.
Grind cinnabar with water for about a hundred breaths to complete the corresponding steps.
Then he concentrated his hands, cast a cleansing spell on himself, and slowly calmed his mind.
Once your condition has recovered to its best, start making talismans immediately.
Take a blank piece of talisman paper and spread it flat on the table. Then press the four corners with a ruler. After determining the starting point and direction of the talisman to be drawn, pick up the brush and dip it in cinnabar.
The spiritual power of the body is then activated, and is injected into the talisman paper along with the drawn runes...
About fifty breaths later, the first shadow-transforming talisman was successfully drawn, and its quality was of inferior quality.
Compared with drawing talismans in the Yuehua Realm, there is a clear difference.
When Su Qingwu tried to make a talisman, he would feel a strong resistance when the talisman was about to be completed.
If you are not careful, the drawing will fail.
Nowadays, the talismans and runes are much more complicated than before, but the resistance encountered is minimal and the probability of failure is greatly reduced.
Su Qingwu didn't know how other people felt when they made talismans, but she felt it was very easy.
In fact, the success rate of talismans made by monks in the Yuanji World is not very high.
There are many factors that affect the drawing of talismans, and nearly 70% of monks fail at the first step.
In order to make talismans, the most basic requirement is solid painting skills.
All talismans in the world originate from the laws of talismans and cannot be created by humans.
When drawing, it must be done in one stroke without any difference.
In other words, a perfect replica.
To achieve this requirement, one must rely on talent and the other on practice.
Su Qingwu was extremely gifted in this aspect, so he naturally ignored this difficulty and did not have the worries that most cultivators had.
In addition, the amount of spiritual power injected simultaneously when drawing the talisman is also one of the important factors affecting the success and quality of the talisman.
The injected spiritual power can fluctuate within a certain range. If it exceeds the corresponding range, the talisman will directly destroy itself.
The smaller the fluctuation and the closer the overall injected spiritual power is to the upper limit, the greater the probability of drawing a high-quality talisman.
Su Qingwu drew one hundred talismans in a row, without any failure.
However, there has not been much improvement in quality, with most products being of lower quality with a few being of medium quality.
When making talismans, the most important thing to avoid is being anxious.
She was well aware of the relevant rules, so she always maintained a very good attitude, drawing one picture after another with great concentration.
Time passed bit by bit, and when drawing the 365th Shadow-Transformation Talisman, there was finally progress again, and a top-quality one appeared for the first time.
The third-level talisman consumes a lot of spiritual energy to draw.
At this point, Su Qingwu had very little spiritual power left. She had a feeling that she would not be able to draw the next picture smoothly, so she simply stopped and went to the cushion to meditate with her eyes closed.
The spiritual energy of the Yuanji World is three times more concentrated than that of the Yuehua Realm.
With her current level of cultivation, she only needs to meditate for one stick of incense to restore her almost exhausted spiritual power.
Afterwards, restart the drawing of the Shadow Symbol.
When the spiritual energy was insufficient, he continued to meditate. He repeated this process and six days passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the cave, Su Qingwu was still immersed in making talismans.
At that time, the talismans that had been drawn on the table were stacked into three piles according to their quality.
Not long ago, she fell into meditation, and the talisman she was drawing now was the first one she started drawing after the meditation.
The moment it was completed, the corresponding shadow symbol emitted a faint light and then slowly disappeared.
The first top-grade talisman is finally drawn!
