After returning, Chen Lin continued to make pills.
After getting ten Chuyuan Pills as he wished, he began to make talismans.
Although he still had some spiritual stones on him, in order to conceal his identity, he still had to sell some talismans to maintain his image of making a living by making talismans.
Perhaps it was because of his improved cultivation, his condition today was unusually good, and his level of refining the fireball talisman improved again.
With his natural ability, he succeeded three times out of ten!
Three talismans with flame patterns were lined up in a row, and the more Chen Lin looked at them, the happier he became.
The success rate reaches 30%. After deducting the cost, one can earn 17 or 18 spirit stones for every 10 materials. He can be considered a superior person among the casual cultivators in the shantytowns.
After a moment of excitement, he picked up the talisman pen and prepared to refine more in one go.
Before I knew it, it was late at night.
"clang!"
A dull bell rang, awakening Chen Lin who was immersed in making talismans.
He was stunned at first, then stood up with a puzzled look and walked to the bronze bell.
"That's right, I set the time, but why did I set it to ring at this time?"
Looking at the mechanical device on the bronze bell, Chen Lin once again realized that he had forgotten something.
But the time for ringing the bell was definitely set by him, and even the timing device was made by him personally, and he succeeded in making it by relying on his natural talent of hitting the target ten times out of ten.
What exactly did you forget
Why set the alarm at this time
Chen Lin thought hard.
Oh, right, the red line!
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and he remembered everything he had forgotten.
He quickly walked to the window, opened it and looked at the sky.
It was silent.
The moon in the sky was round and the stars were bright, but there was nothing else unusual.
The thin red line that appeared every night did not appear.
"Is it that the red line didn't come out, or am I unable to see it myself?"
Chen Lin's expression began to change.
After waiting for half an hour, he closed the window gloomily.
"There must be something wrong with me."
He muttered to himself and sat down weakly on the chair.
The joy of improving my talisman-making skills is gone.
After a moment's silence, he stood up again, quickly took off all his clothes, and examined her inch by inch.
After finding nothing abnormal, he began to look inside the body to check the condition inside the body.
After all the operations, his face became more and more ugly.
There is nothing abnormal in the body.
The greater possibility is that the anomaly actually exists, but he cannot see it.
It doesn't take much to guess that it must be related to the red line that connected him last night.
He is now one of those 'marionettes' too!
Not only could he not see the thin red line, he even took the sidelong glances and sneering smiles of those people for granted.
I have been 'assimilated'!
The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Luckily, he was careful enough to set up an alarm clock, which restored his memory.
What kind of weird existence could turn all the monks in an entire city into puppets
Why would the other party do this and what is their purpose
How can I get rid of it
He fell into deep powerlessness and fear.
For several days, Chen Lin was unable to see the spectacular scene of red lines across the sky at midnight, and he gradually calmed down.
Regardless, he had no good solution.
Fortunately, he was still conscious and aware of his condition, unlike other monks in the city who were unaware of it.
Therefore, we still have to follow the previous plan, improve our cultivation to the middle stage of Qi training, learn the flying technique, and then leave here.
Next, Chen Lin began to make talismans frantically. After accumulating a certain amount of spirit stones, he bought alchemy materials and refined the Chu Yuan Pill.
With the accumulation of elixirs, his cultivation level increased rapidly.
During this period, the city became increasingly unstable.
Following the disappearance of the head of the Zhang family, the head of the Han family, one of the five major families, also disappeared for no reason, making the cultivators in the already chaotic city even more panic-stricken.
And because of the heavy snow, not only were all the plants in the wild covered, but the caravans that used to appear frequently had not appeared for a long time, and food in the city began to become scarce.
Not only food, the prices of other cultivation resources are also rising.
Fortunately, he bought a large amount of supplies in advance for his retreat and cultivation, otherwise he would have starved.
Chen Lin didn't pay attention to what was happening outside, and focused on refining the elixir and practicing at the same time.
With such concentration, time flies.
Winter goes and spring comes.
Three months later.
Chen Lin's closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a look of surprise.
He checked his body in disbelief, and jumped up after confirming it.
"Hahaha, this middle stage of Qi training isn't as difficult to break through as I imagined!"
Chen Lin clenched his fist lightly, feeling the magic power growing in his body, and laughed excitedly.
He had just been trying it out, and even he himself hadn't expected to make such a breakthrough. The process was simple and smooth.
Nothing surprising happened. It was just that because he took three pills at once, the drugs were too strong and he felt a tingling pain in his meridians.
But compared with the advancement to the middle stage of Qi training, this little side effect is not worth mentioning.
Chen Lin calmed himself down, raised his hand and slapped the table in front of him. Suddenly, an invisible energy shot out, shaking the table.
Done!
The release of magic power is a sign of entering the middle stage of Qi training!
He nodded with satisfaction.
If you want to use magic power in the early stage of Qi training, you need the help of a medium and cannot release the magic power out of thin air.
This is only possible when you enter the middle stage of Qi training.
This is why it is impossible to learn spells in the early stages of Qi training.
Even though the magic power he just released only made the table shake a bit, that was because he had not learned the spell. Once he learned the spell, the power would naturally increase greatly.
The magic power in his body increased several times. Chen Lin was so excited that he kept trying various external postures, making the room a mess.
It took a while to calm down.
Then he took out two more things.
A book called "Detailed Explanation of Elementary Spells" and a small dagger that was slightly green.
He had prepared this before he went into seclusion, in case something major happened in the city and he wouldn't be able to buy it, or the price would go up.
Now it seems like it was the right thing to do.
The short sword is called Xiaoyao Sword.
Although the name sounds impressive, it is actually a lowest-level, first-grade magic weapon with limited effect on increasing magic power.
Even so, it is worth eight hundred spirit stones!
Even this is the cheapest among the first-grade lower-grade magic weapons. The prices of slightly better ones will be higher.
After learning about the prices of magical instruments, he even had the idea of becoming a weapon refiner.
"Detailed Explanation of Elementary Spells" was much cheaper, costing only fifty spirit stones.
This is also normal. After all, books can be copied. The reason is that people are still afraid of buying defective fakes in regular stores. If they buy them in a stall outside, it is just the price of two fireball talismans.
Open the book first, the first page records the 'Fireball Technique'.
This spell is basically one of the essential spells for cultivators, and all cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training know it.
In fact, it is common knowledge in the world of immortal cultivation that there are barriers to practicing magic.
If you want to practice a certain series of spells, you need to have the corresponding spiritual roots.
For example, if you want to practice the fireball technique, you normally need to have a fire spiritual root, otherwise you will not be able to sense the fire element in the world and will not be able to form spells.
However, in the Qi Refining Stage, the barriers to spells are not that strong. Even if one does not have the corresponding spiritual roots, one can use some media to cast spells. Moreover, low-end media items are easy to find and very cheap.
Of course, a more labor-saving way is to use talismans.
Can’t learn fire attribute spells
It doesn’t matter, just buy the talisman for the spell you want to use!
Money can solve everything.
