Chapter 48 Rumors

In the spiritual field, there are seven spiritual plants that have been watered by the mysterious stone bottle.

Su Qingwu had attracted a lot of attention previously because of Lingxiao's resurrection technique.

When you use a mason jar to water in the future, you must find the right time.

Otherwise, it may cause huge troubles...

Although the stone bottle looks very ordinary and it is difficult for others to see any clues, the possibility cannot be ruled out.

Su Qingwu thought for a long time and came up with a solution.

There are no buildings on Bailing Island. At night, all the fellow disciples should leave through the teleportation array.

At that time, you may try to water the spiritual plants.

The stone bottle is filled with spiritual water once every seven days, and these spiritual plants are only half a month away from maturity.

In other words, just water it twice and, as long as you are careful, it will no longer attract attention.

......

Su Qingwu was thinking about the relevant issues while performing the Small Spirit Rain Technique. After about half a cup of tea, he slowly stopped performing the spell.

On Bailing Island, several fellow disciples came towards this place one after another.

As he got closer, he gradually stopped.

Walking in front, a young man in a brown-grey robe was the first to state his purpose.

"Junior Sister Su, we would like to ask you shamelessly, in addition to Contribution Points, can you exchange Spirit Stones or other treasures for the technique that you have mastered to absorb the vitality of weeds and transform it into spiritual plants?"

Su Qingwu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

After hearing this answer, the people who came over smiled and took out the things they had prepared...

After one stick of incense...

The fellow students who came here left one after another, and Su Qingwu gained a lot.

The total number of spirit stones is thirty-nine thousand; one hundred first-level soul-returning talismans, stone shield talismans, thorn talismans, and water arrow talismans; two disposable consumable blasting beads; and one spirit seed of unknown grade.

Among them, the Explosive Flame Bead has extremely great destructive power. If used properly, it can directly kill a monk who has reached the Perfect Qi Refining Stage.

As for the spirit seed of unknown grade, it was light green in color, about an inch long, and oval in shape.

The fellow disciple who took out this thing clearly stated that he had tried to grow it before, but it never sprouted. However, the spiritual seeds were full of vitality, so the other party always believed that his planting method was wrong.

Of course, this person doesn’t just trade with spirit seeds, the bulk of his trade is with spirit stones.

Su Qingwu accepted the spiritual seed out of curiosity and wanted to give it a try.

The one hundred talismans traded were the same as the ones she exchanged in Duobao Hall, all of them were of low quality without exception.

Thinking of the contribution points required to exchange for mid-grade and high-grade talismans in the hall, she compared them with the elixirs. She belatedly realized the problem and immediately sent a message to Su Wen.

"Is it very difficult to draw a talisman of medium quality or above?"

A response quickly came from the sea of ​​consciousness.

"That's true. As far as I know, even for a first-class low-grade talisman, the success rate of a talisman master in this world who specializes in talismans is less than 20%. As for the middle-grade and above, it seems to all depend on luck?"

"Why is this so?"

"There is a legend in Yuehua Realm. I wonder if Qingwu has ever heard of it?"

"No, before I joined the sect, my parents and I had always lived in the mountains. After I joined the sect, I didn't specifically inquire about the affairs of this world. Su Wen, could the rumors you told me be related to talismans?"

"You guessed it right! From ancient times to now, no one in this world has ever achieved great success in the art of talismans. There is a rumor that the art of talismans in this world has been cursed by an unknown curse."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu was very surprised.

"Curse? What kind of curse can directly affect one of the three thousand great ways?"

"That's not clear, but rumors are basically half true and half false. The pills and talismans in this world are indeed very different. Although top-grade pills are rare, they do exist. As for talismans, as far as I know, there has never been a top-grade one."

Having said this, Su Wen added a few more sentences.

"Of course, I have been dead for many years. I don't know whether any top-grade talismans have appeared during this period. I also tried to make talismans when I was alive, but the result... is hard to describe."

"Hearing you say that, I'm even more eager to give it a try."

Su Qingwu was eager to give it a try. The spiritual field here had just been blessed with spiritual rain, and with the seven-legged insect here, he could return to the sect without worry.

......

That night, in the bluestone courtyard on Cuimu Peak.

Su Qingwu returned to his residence, took out the Earth Armor Array, imprinted his spiritual imprint into it, placed it in the appropriate position, and embedded a low-grade spirit stone.

The formation was then activated.

A layer of light brown defensive aperture suddenly rose up, covering the entire courtyard, and then disappeared into thin air.

After doing this, she walked into the wooden house and took out the things for making talismans.

The process of drawing talismans is much simpler than refining elixirs. One only needs to concentrate the spiritual power of the corresponding attributes on the talisman pen dipped in cinnabar, and then draw on the blank talisman paper.

Su Qingwu memorized the relevant runes over and over again, and only started trying after he became proficient in them.

The moment she actually started writing, she discovered the problem.

Condensing spiritual energy into the talisman pen may seem simple, but it actually requires extremely high skills.

If there is any instability, the talisman pattern will turn black and the entire talisman paper will be completely destroyed.

In just half a cup of tea, twenty pieces of talisman paper were wasted.

Su Wen had already left the Yuqing Mirror. She was now sitting aside in white, leaning on one hand, concentrating on watching the black-dressed girl drawing, without making a sound to disturb her.

As time went by, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

Qingwu's progress is obvious.

When he had discarded one hundred pieces of talisman paper, he successfully drew a low-grade Huiling Talisman on the one hundred and first piece.

When she tried it that year, she used up more than half of the thousand talismans before she succeeded once...

Inside the house, the drawing of talismans is still going on.

By the time the sky outside gradually brightened, the one thousand talismans had been used up.

Su Qingwu put down the talisman pen, looked at the woman in white beside him, and gently opened his lips.

"Su Wen, I think I can guess the reason."

The woman in white originally looked a little lazy, but when she heard this, she immediately straightened up.

"Is it about that rumor?"

"No, when I was drawing the rune, I had a feeling that it was related to the difficulty of drawing."

"What exactly is it? Can you tell me?"

Su Qingwu's eyes fell on the last drawn talisman and he spoke slowly:

"Whenever I am about to put down my brush, I feel an invisible sense of oppression, which is in opposition to the spiritual power attached to the brush. If I ignore it, I will only end up with a low-quality painting."

It was the first time that Su Wen heard such a statement, and he felt a little surprised for a moment.

“When did you develop this feeling?”

"From the moment I successfully drew the first Soul Returning Talisman, I had a vague feeling that something was going to happen."

After hearing this, Su Wen returned to the posture of supporting his head with one hand, and said thoughtfully:

"I tried to make a talisman, but it didn't work at all. Could this be a natural talent?"

Having said this, she looked at the more than one hundred newly drawn low-grade talismans piled on the table and continued to ask.

"After discovering this problem, have you tried to fight against the oppression?"

Su Qingwu nodded slightly.

"Of course there is, but it was not successful. However, I have a hunch that as long as we can fight effectively, it is not impossible to draw a talisman of medium quality or above."
