Although the hundred arts of cultivating immortals are different, they also have something in common.
Talismans are the foundation of all arts.
Any skills involving the secrets of immortals must be related to talismans.
Whether it is the mysterious array formation, the weapon refining technique that can turn diamond into soft fingers, or the alchemy technique that removes the dross and retains the essence, or even any skills related to spiritual power in the world, they cannot avoid the word "talisman". Of
course, the talismans mentioned here are not the talismans that ordinary people understand, but all kinds of magic formulas and immortal patterns derived from talismans. The
simplest example is, if there are no immortal patterns on the magic weapon, can it still be called an immortal pattern?
The props for array formation, the various alchemy formulas used when refining the alchemy, etc., are all variants of talismans.
Therefore, talismans are the foundation of all arts. If you want to learn all arts well, you don't need to be proficient in talismans, but at least you have to be able to understand them roughly.
Moreover, if one has extraordinary attainments in a certain art, then in the early stage of learning talismans, it will also be twice the result with half the effort.
Xu Fei returned to the room, and the two spread out the talisman paper, and then recalled the contents of "Basic Talismans", and then used the half-bald talisman pen to dip into the spiritual ink and began to draw.
"Basic Talismans" records the five most basic talismans, namely the Soul Gathering Talisman, the Decontamination Talisman, the Water Gathering Talisman, the Light Body Talisman and the Flashing Talisman.
Among the immortal arts, these are the most inferior, but they are the most suitable as the entry-level arts of talismans.
Xu Jun first refined it. He chose the basic of the basics of talismans, the Soul Gathering Talisman.
This talisman is just the most basic soul gathering technique. Xu Jun had also used it when he was learning the arts, and it can be said that he was very good at it.
However, he soon discovered that releasing the arts and engraving the arts into the talisman were two completely different things.
When he had drawn half of the talisman paper according to the spell mark, the talisman paper suddenly broke, and the talisman was naturally invalid.
Xu Jun frowned slightly and pondered.
After a moment of self-examination, Xu Jun found the reason.
When using the talisman pen to make talismans, spiritual power output is required. There is a problem with his control, so it is not the fault of the talisman pen and talisman paper. After
cleaning up, he continued to work hard.
An hour later, the first soul gathering talisman was born in his hands.
Xu Jun felt a little ashamed.
If he was a first-level cultivator who had just started practicing Qi, then he would definitely be a genius in the way of talismans if he could draw a soul gathering talisman in an hour.
But in fact, he is already a foundation-building cultivator. His
control of spiritual power and understanding of immortal magic far exceeds that of a cultivator practicing Qi.
It can be said that learning basic talismans with such cultivation is a dimensionality reduction attack. It
takes a lot of patience to teach a three-year-old child mathematics and recite the multiplication table.
However, when you grow up and study step by step, when you are sixteen or seventeen years old, it is easy for you to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and recite the multiplication table. This is the case with
Xu Jun now. If he is asked to learn calculus in one step, it is naturally impossible, but if he is asked to do the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, then...
Therefore, it took an hour to draw the first soul gathering talisman.
It can only be said that Xu Jun's talent in the way of talismans is mediocre, and there is no surprise at all.
However, Xu Jun was not discouraged.
In the following days, the two of them stayed in the room and continued to live in seclusion. In addition to absorbing the power of free lightning, they slowly made talismans. What
surprised Xu Jun was that after a month, he was still stuck in this world and did not return to the main world.
Of course, Xu Jun had a clear feeling.
As long as he wanted, he could return at any time.
But once he returned, this trip of the clone would end. If he did not take the initiative to return, he could stay in this world for a year.
According to the time ratio of 1:12, only one month has passed in the main world.
Xu Jun also vaguely understood why he had to build his foundation before he had the ability to clone himself.
It is strange for a Qi training cultivator to retreat for a month, but if it were a foundation building cultivator, no one would find it strange.
In the world of thunder magic, the two of them worked together and spent half a year to draw all five inferior talismans in "Basic Talisman Dao".
Although there was no surprise, there was no shock either. For a foundation building cultivator, as long as he was willing to invest time and energy, it was very normal to achieve this step.
However, at this time, Xu Fei did not have enough spirit stones.
During this period, someone had urged him to pay the rent, but as long as the arrears did not exceed half a year, the White Bone Cave would not drive people away.
This made Xu Jun quite satisfied.
Learning the hundred arts of the immortals, when you are unable to be self-sufficient at the beginning, it is also very costly.
The only thing that Xu Jun criticized was that when the clone entered the world, it was just a copy of the body, and it could not bring anything except the life magic weapon and the space body.
Therefore, he could not bring in a large number of spiritual stones in the main world, which caused them to be in a tight spot.
After some discussion, the two left the market and headed towards the depths of the mountains.
The hunting teams in the market all went into the nearby mountains to hunt monsters, look for spiritual minerals or spiritual herbs, and then sold them in the market to make a living.
Since they were short of spiritual stones and had not yet achieved anything in the way of talismans, the two of them just went with the flow.
A hundred miles away from the market, there was a continuous mountainous area with few people, which was where monsters were active.
After entering the mountain, Xu Fei released his spiritual sense.
Everything within a five-kilometer radius was within his senses.
When ordinary cultivators first entered the foundation-building stage, the range of their spiritual sense was only about one kilometer.
However, Xu Jun and his three projections were different.
Although the three projections' spiritual awareness range was not as good as the original body's ten kilometers, under the blessing of their respective holy bodies, they all reached a distance of five kilometers.
Even if an ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivator came, facing a spiritual awareness range of five kilometers, he would be ashamed.
The two of them unfolded their body skills, and they found the first monster beast in just a quarter of an hour.
A hard-skinned giant rat in the first-stage middle stage.
This is a kind of monster beast that lives in groups. Although its strength is not strong, its hard skin is also difficult for ordinary Qi training cultivators to break through.
Moreover, the hard-skinned giant rat has nothing valuable except its hard skin.
Therefore, if the cultivator does not have special means to deal with the hard-skinned giant rat, even if he sees them, he may not take action.
Because as long as it is a battle, there will inevitably be costs.
Time cost, manpower cost, spiritual power cost, talisman cost, etc.
If a battle is very exhausting, even if the giant rats are killed, their hard skin will be broken...
This kind of battle without any benefit is harmful to a normal hunting team.
However, in their eyes, these hard-skinned giant rats in the middle stage of the first stage are just walking spiritual stones.
Xu Fei said in a deep voice: "I'll do it."
His figure flashed, and in a few ups and downs, he had already arrived near the nest of ten or so hard-skinned giant rats.
The pressure of the foundation-building period was suddenly released, crushing over like a hill.
These ten or so hard-skinned giant rats were also unlucky for eight lifetimes, and were immediately suppressed by this huge force and could no longer move.
Xu Fei flicked his finger, and a wisp of spiritual power turned into a fine needle and pierced into the ears of the hard-skinned giant rats.
The spiritual power exploded in the giant rats' heads, and immediately blew their brain tissues into a paste.
Almost in an instant, a dozen hard-skinned giant rats fell down one after another and died on the ground.
As a powerful foundation-building thunder cultivator, he could kill several first-level monsters with a single move.
Xu Jun took a look and said, "I'll go sell them."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Xu Jun looked at the dead giant rats and shook his head slightly.
If they were sold to the market, they would definitely attract attention. Because the injuries on their bodies did not look like they died at the hands of ordinary casual cultivators.
Hunting giant rats is not uncommon, but hunting them in such a complete state, and all of them died in the same nest, which would inevitably make people suspicious .
However, before the two of them set out, they had already made preparations.
Xu Jun pulled out the long sword from Xu Fei. This was not a magic weapon, but just a sharp weapon in the mortal world.
Xu Fei only brought it to deceive others.
Under the operation of magic power, the long sword flickered.
Under Xu Jun's deliberate control, a spiritual power covered it, which was enough to make the long sword extremely sharp.
The sword came out like lightning, and the sword cultivator's swordsmanship was fully demonstrated at this moment.
As his wrist trembled, a sword aura suddenly appeared, slicing off the heads of the giant rats one by one.
Then, the wood element true meaning flashed on his body, and countless wild grasses automatically grew and mixed into vines, tying up the hard-skinned giant rats.
Xu Jun's body swayed slightly, and his height was instantly reduced by ten centimeters, and his face also changed.
This is the most basic disguise technique. With his foundation-building cultivation, a cultivator in the Qi training stage would definitely not be able to see the flaw.
He took off his long gown, revealing a set of fitted shorts.
Xu Jun picked up the hard-skinned giant rats tied together and ran towards the market.
The reason why he didn't put them into the space body was to give the spirit stones a legitimate source.
An hour later, Xu Jun walked out of the grocery store. He
had thirty more spirit stones on him.
It seems that hunting monsters is also a very promising thing.
However, this was the harvest of a foundation-building cultivator who personally went out and spent most of the day.
And if they don't go hunting, as long as they show their identity as foundation-building cultivators, they can go to any sect to be a worshiper or an outer sect elder, and their salary will be at least several thousand yuan a month.
However, this is not what they want.
In this way, for half a year, Xu Jun practiced and practiced the art of talismans in the market silently.
Every ten days or half a month, he would go out, and when he eavesdropped on the news, he would go into the mountains to make some extra money.
And just half a year later, Xu Fei successfully overheard a piece of news. Liao
Ji successfully broke through the realm, was promoted to the late stage of foundation-building, and his cultivation was stable when he came out of retreat.
Xu Jun's heart was surging, this was Xu Fei's emotion.
He immediately understood that the opportunity he had been waiting for nearly two years had finally arrived.
