Chapter 97: Foundation Establishment
Su Qingwu recalled the experience of making talismans, adjusted the state to the best, took out the newly purchased talisman paper, and quickly started drawing...
One bottle of cinnabar can be diluted with water in a fixed ratio to make two thousand talismans.
I hadn't made talismans for a long time, so I was a little unfamiliar with it. The first ten or so I tried, all ended in failure.
It was not until the sixteenth attempt that I gradually adapted.
The moment he put down his pen, the familiar invisible sense of oppression reappeared, fighting against the spiritual power attached to the talisman pen.
Su Qingwu concentrated his attention here, and at this moment, he increased the speed of his spiritual power circulation.
The invisible sense of oppression increased, and the two were equally matched.
The drawing of the talisman was still going on, and after a moment, the first soul-restoring talisman was completed. As expected, it was of inferior quality.
Su Qingwu did not pause at all and continued to draw the next talisman.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but when I was about to finish writing, the corresponding resistance appeared again.
This time, she tried to weaken the spiritual power attached to the talisman pen, but the resistance did not decrease. It immediately covered the spiritual power, and the originally bright yellow talisman paper instantly turned dark.
The seventeenth attempt to make the talisman was declared a failure.
Continue to take out the blank talisman paper and start drawing the eighteenth talisman...
......
Outside, the sun rose in the morning and set in the evening, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the inn, Su Qingwu worked day and night, always devoted to making talismans.
Two thousand six hundred pieces of talisman paper have been used up, and a total of one thousand two hundred soul-resurrecting talismans have been drawn, but all of them are of low quality.
Despite many attempts, she still couldn't find a way to overcome the invisible pressure.
Seeing that there were only more than 300 pieces of blank talisman paper left, she simply stopped writing, adjusted her mind, and closed her eyes to meditate.
As time goes by, my mind slowly becomes immersed in it.
Inside the country, another scene appeared.
The vast sea of clouds slowly emerged before our eyes, the clouds were ever-changing, outlining one rune after another.
In the darkness, there seems to be the sound of the great way.
"The talisman is a divinely bestowed talisman that belongs to the myriad laws. When cultivated to the highest level, one can achieve enlightenment through it..."
The moment this sound rang out, Su Qingwu cut off all contact with the outside world.
Su Wen knew that she had fallen into enlightenment, and immediately appeared out of the Jade Purity Mirror and set up several soundproofing and defensive prohibitions around the house.
The monk suddenly realized that he must not be disturbed.
Xuanqing is also always alert to the outside world. Once someone tries to break in, it will take action immediately and subdue the person.
......
Su Qingwu's sudden realization lasted for a full half month.
While listening to the voice of the Tao, she was influenced by a mysterious opportunity and completely understood the legend of the curse of the Tao in the Yuehua Realm.
From the moment a cultivator draws Qi into his body, there are seven major realms.
Above the Golden Elixir stage, there are four realms: Yuan Ying, Hua Shen, Fan Xu and He Dao. This so-called curse legend is actually related to the last realm.
The so-called harmony of the Dao is to try to comprehend one of the three thousand great Daos, master the power of the relevant laws, and thereby combine them into one.
If successful, the road to heaven will be opened, and one will ascend to heaven in broad daylight, attain enlightenment and become an immortal, and from then on live as long as heaven and earth.
On the contrary, if you fail, you will die and everything you have in the past will become nothing.
Any powerful person who has reached the state of Hedao in the universe will choose a small world and intercept one of its Paths for enlightenment.
The talisman art of the Yuehua Realm is often chosen by the great masters of the Hedao realm in the Yuanji World. Under this influence, it is difficult for the cultivators in this world to make further progress in the art of talismans.
In the future, if I can succeed in my cultivation and ascend to the Yuanji world, this restriction will be automatically lifted...
......
Half a month later, Su Qingwu's enlightenment ended, and the sound of the Tao that lingered in his ears slowly disappeared.
I opened my eyes and heard Su Wen's congratulations.
She was stunned for a moment, and after she reacted, she immediately looked inward with her spiritual consciousness and found that her cultivation had unexpectedly broken through to the perfect foundation building stage without her noticing.
This sudden realization has brought me a lot of benefits.
She told Su Wen about the Yuehua Realm Talisman Dao.
After hearing this, the latter remained silent for a long time.
Although there are records of the realms above the Golden Elixir stage in this world, there is no detailed explanation.
To comprehend one of the three thousand great ways in this small world is incredible to hear at first.
The legends about Fudao have existed since ancient times, but their specific origins are no longer traceable.
After a moment of silence, Su Wen whispered, "I suggest that this matter not be made public, otherwise it may cause unknown troubles."
Su Qingwu nodded with a smile on his face: "This is natural. What I have gained from meditation is very mysterious and should not be disclosed to outsiders. Only you and I know this, and no third person will understand it."
After a sudden realization, his cultivation level broke through and his state of mind also improved a little.
He counted with his fingers and found that half a month had passed. He didn't know what the situation was with the many spiritual plants in the spiritual field. He immediately flashed and went to the Yuqing Mirror space.
With the medicinal beads and the colorful azalea, there is no need to worry about diseases and pests. However, most of the spiritual plants are now short of water as they have not been watered for a long time.
As soon as Su Qingwu arrived at the space, various voices came to his ears one after another.
"Wuwuwu, the savior is finally here. I'm dying of thirst~"
"The leaves are dry and will be dried up by the sun..."
"Please give me some rain, please~"
......
There were countless similar thoughts. Su Qingwu made hand gestures and performed the Spring Breeze Rain Technique and the Small Spirit Rain Technique in succession.
After one's cultivation has advanced to the stage of foundation building, the spiritual energy consumption when performing these two spells is extremely small.
As time went by, the complaining voices finally disappeared and my ears became much quieter.
Su Qingwu paused his spellcasting and took out a handful of spiritual grains to feed the white-feathered chickens and many spiritual fish.
Before she made the talismans, she prepared a lot of food for them.
Although it had been half a month since they came back to the space, these pets were not actually hungry.
On the other hand, Xuanqing's body was still staying safely in the bamboo basin and growing very well.
It has already developed consciousness and has considerable abilities. It can replenish its water and other nutrients on its own without requiring any extra care from its owner.
Around the bamboo house, 720 exotic flowers are also growing well.
They are only for viewing and have strong vitality. Although they have been transplanted from Baihua Valley to the space not long ago, their roots have been firmly rooted deep into the ground and can absorb soil moisture independently.
In comparison, the spiritual plants in the thousand-acre spiritual field appear much weaker.
But on the other hand, if spiritual plants were easy to grow, they would have already proliferated in the world and could be seen everywhere, instead of requiring large-scale planting like they do now...
Half a month later, the mysterious stone bottle was already filled with spiritual water.
The stone bottle can store water for a maximum of seven days at a time. This sudden realization resulted in the waste of eight days.
This is something that is inevitable. Sudden enlightenment is rare, and it is impossible for Su Qingwu to interrupt it.
She took out the stone bottle and watered a 600-year-old Blood Jade Ganoderma and an 800-year-old Seven-Leaf True Lotus.
After the spiritual water was used up and the stone bottle was put away, he left the space directly and came to the outside world to continue the talisman-making work that he had done half a month ago.
After a sudden realization and understanding of the relevant truth, she no longer had any obsession with drawing talismans of medium quality and above, and just let everything take its course.
With this mindset, the remaining three hundred or so talismans were drawn surprisingly smoothly, successfully every time, and not a single one was wasted!
Not only that, he also produced twenty-nine medium-quality paintings, which is a big improvement.
After the talisman paper was used up, Su Qingwu put away the finished product, meditated for a while to recover his spiritual power, then left the inn and set off to continue heading southeast...
