"My great uncle is right. I will remember what he taught me." Han Changming agreed honestly.
Han Deling smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Zhang Kang, Chang Ming was very brave this time. He protected the clan property and killed an evil cultivator. Most importantly, his success rate in refining first-level talismans is close to 30%. I brought him back and asked him to learn the art of making talismans from Uncle Zhang Zhong."
"Already close to 30%?" Han Zhangkang showed some approval on his face, and said happily: "This is a good thing, we should transfer him back. Our Han family has been established for nearly a thousand years, and the art of talismans has always been our weakness. When Changming caught the talisman pen during his first birthday, I knew he would develop in the direction of a talisman maker. For protecting the family property and killing an evil cultivator of Qi Refining, according to the family rules, you will be rewarded with 100 contribution points. Take out your identity token!"
If a family wants to pass on and develop, it must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments.
Han Changming's face lit up with joy. One hundred contribution points were already a lot. You know, he had been stationed on Hongxia Island for three years, and he only earned thirty contribution points. It would take twenty thousand contribution points to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Contribution points can be exchanged for resources for cultivating immortals and can be passed down from father to son and from son to grandson. It is precisely because of the existence of contribution points that the Han family's children have a strong sense of belonging to the family. Most of the Han family's foundation-building cultivators rely on the contribution points of their immediate relatives to exchange for foundation-building pills, and take the foundation-building pills to advance to the foundation-building stage.
Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. If nothing unexpected happens, Han Changming will also use the contribution points accumulated by Han Daohe to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Han Daohe is already old, but he is still running around everywhere, just to accumulate more contribution points to help Han Changming exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Han Changming took out his identity token, and Han Zhangkang gave him 100 contribution points and recorded Han Changming's contributions.
"Changming, go back and rest first. Go find Uncle Zhang Zhong tomorrow. If you can pass the talisman maker test, don't send you out to garrison the island."
Han Changming agreed repeatedly and turned to leave.
He took out the Qingfeng Gourd and flew towards his residence.
Half a quarter of an hour later, he landed outside a narrow valley.
There are steep cliffs on both sides of the valley. There is a courtyard covering an area of five acres in the valley. The layout of the courtyard is relatively simple. On the left hand side is a three-story green bamboo building. Next to the bamboo building is a spiritual well. The rest are spiritual fields. A large area of green spiritual grass is planted in the spiritual fields. Each spiritual grass has seven leaves.
The green spiritual herb is seven-leaf clover. Five-year-old seven-leaf clover is the raw material for refining first-grade low-quality talisman paper.
This is where Han Daohe and his grandson live. Actually, they can live here thanks to Han Changming's uncle Han Deyu.
Han Deyu was thirty years old and had not yet married. He devoted himself to the pursuit of immortality. While escorting goods, he died at the hands of a monster in order to protect the family property. The family then gave this residence to Han Daohe to live in. Later, Han Changming was found to have spiritual roots, so Han Changming started living here.
When the Han family first moved to Huludao, the spiritual fields they reclaimed were the family property and were taken care of by special people. However, the harvest was not particularly abundant and the clan members were not very enthusiastic. Later, the clan leader issued a series of measures, which designated most of the spiritual fields as family property and rented a small portion of the spiritual fields to meritorious clan members for cultivation. This greatly mobilized the clan members' work enthusiasm and enhanced the family's cohesion.
Of course, it is not permanent, only for twenty years. Within twenty years, if Han Daohe or Han Changming does not make any new achievements, the family will take back their residence and reward it to other meritorious clansmen to live in, to encourage them to contribute to the family.
Han Daohe followed the family's caravan everywhere, while Han Changming was stationed on the island. Han Changming's cousin Han Changxin helped to look after the nearly five acres of seven-leaf clover.
Han Changming used his identity token to open the ban and walked in.
He walked along the cobblestone road and strolled among the spiritual fields.
The seven-leaf clover is growing very well. It can be seen that Han Changxin is very attentive. Han Changming is not surprised. Han Changxin is a first-level middle-grade spiritual plant husband. It is easy for him to take care of several acres of seven-leaf clover.
After confirming that there was no problem with the seven-leaf clover, Han Changming walked towards the bamboo building.
After eating a little, he took out the spirit-gathering stone and placed it beside him, allowing it to slowly absorb spiritual energy.
Han Changming took out a white porcelain bottle, poured out a green pill from it, and swallowed it.
The first-level elixir, Qi-refining pill, is taken by cultivators below the sixth level of Qi-refining.
The pill melted in the mouth and turned into a huge amount of spiritual energy.
He hurriedly used his internal energy to refine this spiritual energy, guiding it towards his dantian and slowly transforming it into magic power.
Early the next morning, Han Changming arrived at the gate of a somewhat secluded courtyard.
He took out a sound transmission note, said a few words, and threw it into the yard.
Not long after, the gate slowly opened and an energetic old man in a white robe walked out.
"Grandson Han Changming pays his respects to my great uncle. How is my great uncle doing recently?" Han Changming asked with concern with a sincere smile.
The old man in white robe is called Han Zhangzhong. He is at the eighth level of Qi Refining and a top-grade talisman maker. He is the Han family member with the highest level of talisman making skills.
Han Zhangzhong was hurt by love in his early years and never married. He was obsessed with the art of making talismans and treated all the younger generations of the Han family as his own children.
Han Changming learned the art of talisman making from Han Zhangzhong when he was young. When he took part in the assessment, Han Changming's cultivation was too low and his talisman making skills were not high, so he was not selected. If he was selected, the cost of learning talisman making would be borne by the family. But it is not too late now. Through his own learning, his talisman making skills have reached nearly 30%. As long as he practices for a period of time, he will definitely become a first-grade low-grade talisman maker.
Han Zhangzhong showed a trace of kindness on his face, and said, "I'm fine. I heard from my twenty-fifth brother that your success rate in refining first-level talismans is close to 30%?"
"That's right. Thanks to grandpa for providing a large amount of talisman paper for my grandson to practice, and the "Cloud Talisman Sutra" compiled by my great-uncle, it won't be long before my grandson is confident that he can become a first-grade lower-grade talisman maker." Han Changming said confidently.
He was not bragging. As long as he had plenty of blank talisman paper for him to practice, it would only be a matter of time before he became a first-class lower-grade talisman maker.
"Yes, it seems that you did not slack off when you were stationed on the island. Come in! I will teach you the art of talisman making, and I hope you can quickly become a first-grade lower-grade talisman maker. I am old, and the future of the family depends on you young people." Han Zhangzhong said as he walked into the yard.
Han Changming hurriedly followed. On the left side of the yard was a large spiritual field with a large amount of seven-leaf clover planted. On the right side was a two-acre fish pond. Some silver spiritual fish were swimming around in the pond. Under the sunlight, the scales on the silver spiritual fish reflected bursts of silver light.
Silver-scaled fish, this spiritual fish has delicious meat, and its fish skin can be used to refine first-level blank talisman paper. However, silver-scaled fish have a huge appetite. Han Changming wanted to raise some, but he couldn't afford it.
Han Changming followed Han Zhangzhong to a stone pavilion. Han Zhangzhong said, "You can make talismans here and let me see how much your talisman-making skills have improved."
Han Changming agreed immediately, took out talisman paper, talisman pen and cinnabar, and made a talisman on the spot.
In the evening, the sun slowly sets.
Han Changming walked out of the yard with a big smile on his face, and Han Zhangzhong followed him out with a kind look on his face.
"Go back and practice hard. Don't be lazy."
"Yes, great uncle, I'll take my leave now. Please stay."
Han Changming agreed, took out the Qingfeng Gourd, and flew towards his residence.
