Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 8: Talisman making

Views:

Chen Lin was also shocked by Lu Li's methods.

They killed people over a disagreement. It seemed that the family disciples did not take these independent cultivators seriously.

But of course he couldn't be the first to take action, so he just sat in his chair and kept silent.

Seeing that his authority was working well, Lu Li sneered again and said, "My things are not something you can just take casually. It's impossible to get a copy of the talisman making method and the soul-splitting secret technique for free without doing anything."

Looked around.

Seeing that no one spoke, he sneered and said, "Now I only give you two choices. One is to pick up the materials and find a room to make the talisman yourself, or pay fifty medium-grade spirit stones to buy the talisman-making method. If you want to leave by force, you have to ask my flying sword whether it agrees!"

As he spoke, he shook the small black sword in his hand.

Just now, it was this thing that instantly killed the skinny old man.

With a rustle, the red-faced man moved his chair, strode forward, picked up a document, and went upstairs without looking back.

He seems to have the worst temper, but he is also the first to give in.

The talisman masters who came here were all rootless independent cultivators who usually just relied on their skills to make ends meet. None of them could afford fifty medium-grade spirit stones.

That is equivalent to five thousand low-grade spirit stones!

And even if he took it out, who knows if Lu Li would keep his word

With someone taking the lead, the others immediately found a way forward and one by one picked up the materials and went upstairs to find a room to refine the talismans.

Chen Lin was also in the crowd and received a document.

When collecting the materials, Lu Li glanced at him but did not recognize him.

Silently going upstairs, Chen Lin chose an empty room, hung something on the door to indicate that someone was there, and went in to close and lock the door.

Then he let out a light breath.

It seems that the decision to come here was a bit reckless, and I underestimated the chaos of this world.

No matter what, he could not have imagined that Lu Li would kill people so casually!

It took Chen Lin a while to calm down, then he went to the table and opened the package of materials.

Now he no longer dared to hope for any reward and only thought about how to escape safely.

According to Lu Li's personality, if no one could refine the talisman, he might kill everyone.

The other party was openly looking for people to refine talismans during the day, and he didn't seem to be afraid of people knowing it, so he shouldn't be killed to silence them after the talismans were refined.

The reason why the other party killed the old man to establish their authority was to prevent them from harboring the illusion of slacking off and to prevent them from being reluctant to damage their souls and not using the soul-splitting technique.

After pondering it over in his mind and feeling that there was nothing wrong, Chen Lin closed his eyes and began to recall how to draw the Soul-Binding Talisman.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, took out a piece of talisman paper and spread it out.

The other party had prepared very complete materials. In addition to talisman paper, talisman pen and talisman ink, there was also a calming incense and a qi-replenishing pill.

It really takes a lot of effort.

This further proves that all the means used by the other party are to obtain the soul-binding talisman, and they do not really want their lives.

After calming down, Chen Lin prepared to make the talisman.

Suddenly, Lu Li's voice sounded from outside the corridor: "Everyone, I am determined to obtain the Soul Binding Talisman. In order not to distract you, I did not send anyone to supervise. But you should not think of working without putting in any effort. After the refining is completed, I have my own way to detect whether you have used the Soul Splitting Secret Technique. If I detect it, hehe..."

Chen Lin's eyes flickered twice, but he ignored it and picked up the bottle of talisman ink to examine it.

According to the contents on the jade slip, this talisman ink was made up of three substances. He only knew one of them, blackleaf grass, which was an expensive spiritual herb, and he had never heard of the other two.

It had only been half a day since Lu Li got the jade slip, but he had managed to gather so many materials. This showed his status and financial resources.

He really can't afford to offend such a person for the time being.

Light up some meditation incense and your thoughts will instantly become quiet.

Pick up the talisman pen, dip it in talisman ink, inject magic power into the talisman pen, and begin to slowly draw lines on the talisman paper.

"puff!"

Just after drawing two runes, the talisman paper trembled violently, and then a ball of black light emerged and turned into ashes.

This is normal.

After all, this is the first time I have come into contact with this kind of talisman. It would be strange if I could do it in one go.

Clean up the ashes, take out another piece of talisman paper and start drawing.

Failed again.

He repeated this process several times, wasting several sheets of high-quality talisman paper and even taking a Qi-replenishing pill in the middle before he was able to advance the entire talisman to halfway.

Chen Lin didn’t know what other talisman masters were like, but he felt that he could achieve this level.

With his level, if he didn't use the soul as a guide, it would be impossible for him to draw all the runes completely, let alone make them complete.

But it doesn't matter.

If you don’t have enough strength, use plug-ins.

He didn't even bother to study how to deepen the stability of the runes, but continued to draw them one after another.

Failure or not, just ignore it completely.

soon.

On to the tenth one.

The familiar scene finally appeared.

Just when the talisman was halfway drawn and the entire talisman began to tremble and was about to be destroyed, an invisible mysterious force suddenly appeared, wrapped the talisman paper and pulled it in with force, and a complete talisman with obscure energy fluctuations appeared on the table!

Even though he had seen such a scene countless times, Chen Lin was still shocked.

No one knows how this mysterious power was formed, it is simply unreasonable and overbearing.

Fortunately, this power was used by him.

Perhaps, he is the legendary chosen one.

It's a pity that I'm trapped in this evil place.

Chen Lin packed up the remaining things and put them into his pocket. If he couldn't get the spirit stones, he would just consider these things as a reward.

However, he did not go out directly, but put his ear to the door to listen.

He decided to wait until everyone else went down before he went down. If someone else had refined the soul-binding talisman, he would not take out this talisman.

After seeing Lu Li's ruthless methods, he no longer wanted to take any reward. He just wanted to be an invisible man and leave alive.

But if everyone else failed, he would have to take it out, otherwise he felt that Lu Li, stimulated by great disappointment, would most likely kill them all to vent his anger.

Time passes by little by little.

Finally, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

After the first one, the second one followed, and they began to walk downstairs intermittently.

He counted the number of people silently in his mind, and only walked out of the room when the last footsteps disappeared. He pretended to have a dazed look on his face and walked down the stairs unsteadily.

There were more than twenty talisman masters, all of them looked dejected and listless.

As soon as I saw this scene, I knew that no one had succeeded in refining it.

"What was the result?"

Lu Li, who already had some guesses in his mind, looked at everyone with a gloomy face.

It was still the red-faced man who spoke first: "I'm really sorry, my craftsmanship is not good enough, all the materials are used up, and I have used the soul secret technique twice, but it didn't work!"

After saying this, he clasped his fists and looked as if he was going to do it casually.

Without any squinting or sneering look, this person is actually quite humble.

Lu Li slowly stood up from his seat, took out a brown bead the size of a pigeon egg, pointed his finger, and the bead automatically floated up to the center of the red-faced man's eyebrows.

Then, the beads began to emit a gray glow and flicker gently.

"Okay, back off."

Lu Li put away the beads and waved his hand.

The red-faced man clasped his fists again and retreated to the back of the crowd.

Chen Lin looked at this person and found that he had used the secret technique twice. He had to roll up his sleeves in such a situation. What do you want others to do

Sure enough, the other talisman masters looked at this man with some resentment.

But he could only curse silently in his heart but didn't dare to get angry.

Then, another old man in a green robe stood up, described the refining process, and then accepted inspection.

The brown bead floated up again and stuck to the center of the man's eyebrows.

This time the light was slightly brighter than before and flickered more slowly.

"You only used the secret technique once? Humph!"

Lu Li snorted.

Under normal circumstances, using the secret technique once is enough, but after seeing the performance of the previous person, it seems that he is not trying hard enough.

The man in green robe hurriedly explained, "To reply to Fellow Daoist Lu, to be honest, this talisman is too difficult to make. With my many years of experience in making talismans, I would not be able to make it even if I used the secret technique five or ten times, let alone twice. Moreover, I am old, and using the secret technique once is already the limit. If I use it again, I will probably die on the spot!"

Lu Li waved his hand expressionlessly, but didn't say anything else.

The old man quickly retreated behind the crowd and glared at the red-faced man fiercely.
