Cultivation: I have an inventory

The Barrier Breaking Talisman and the Calming Talisman are also basic talismans that are not at the entry level. Although their effects and power are stronger than the Cleansing Talisman, their scope of application is very limited.

For example, the Barrier Breaking Talisman can only be used when encountering some fog, illusions, or encountering situations such as ghost walls.

Xiao Changqing picked up the pen to draw the Barrier Breaking Talisman, still flowing and flowing, and performed very steadily. Every stroke and the infusion of mana were very well done, which can be called a standard template.

After a while, the talisman was completed.

The shopkeeper Hong Jiantao beside him showed a satisfied smile on his face and nodded imperceptibly.

Then he asked Xiao Changqing to continue to draw the Calming Talisman again without stopping.

This time, Xiao Changqing made a "mistake".

Halfway through, the pen tip was messed up.

Immediately, the mana on the talisman paper collapsed, causing fire, and the half-finished Calming Talisman burned rapidly.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper Hong Jiantao just extinguished the flame with a light wave, and did not correct anything. He asked Xiao Changqing to clean the table and start again.

As a talisman master, he was no longer surprised by the failure of drawing talismans and the fire. It was a basic operation.

Novices would do this, and veterans would do the same.

After all, talisman masters are also divided into levels, no entry, lower first level, middle, upper grade, second level...

The second time he drew the meditation talisman, Xiao Changqing did not make any more "mistakes" and completed it smoothly.

"I was wrong. I thought you were just a good character, doing things steadily and seriously, and you could be a qualified talisman master assistant in the Spiritual Talisman Pavilion in the future. I didn't expect you to have an outstanding talent for talismans!"

Hong Jiantao looked at Xiao Changqing, who had finished drawing the talisman and stood respectfully by the side waiting for comments. He smiled and asked meaningfully: "You should be able to draw the other three talismans, the evil-breaking talisman, the fireball talisman, and the protective talisman, right?"

Xiao Changqing's face showed a look of shame "I'm not sure about these three talismans, so the success rate is not high if I force them."

Hong Jiantao laughed and shook his head, saying, "If you can make the success rate of the last three talismans the same as that of the Cleansing Talisman, the Barrier Breaking Talisman, and the Calming Talisman in just two months, then you can be considered a true talent in the way of talismans, and I can make an exception and promote you to the exclusive talisman master of the Spiritual Talisman Pavilion!"

Hong Jiantao thought he had figured out Xiao Changqing's background.

In two months, he got the talisman master's handwritten notes with his personal annotations on his experience, and was able to practice the three most basic and simplest talismans. The success rate is not low, which is rare among casual cultivators, and one in a hundred.

It belongs to the pearls scattered outside.

As long as you work harder, draw more and practice more, it is almost certain to become an entry-level talisman master.

So Hong Jiantao said that he was wrong.

As for higher talents, mastering all six basic talismans in a short period of time?

That's not just a decent talent, but the sect behind him will actively recruit him into the sect and treat him as a key training target in the future.

"In the past two months, you should have spent a lot of spirit stones on materials for making talismans, and lost most of them, to have the current accomplishments, right?" Hong Jiantao said with a smile.

Huh?

Not at all, I just used the remaining materials to confirm it.

Does proficiency need to be piled up with materials?

I said that I was not sure and the success rate was not high, which was modesty and hiding my shortcomings.

There is a loss in drawing talismans?

"Yes! Not only did I spend all my savings of more than ten years, but I also borrowed a lot of spirit stones from my neighbor. To be honest, a few days ago, my neighbor came to collect debts." Xiao Changqing said with a bitter face.

More than ten years of savings are only two low-grade spirit stones.

Three days ago, Lin Ziyu did come to collect debts.

I am not lying.

"That's right! Although the talisman master is recognized as one of the richest professions, you still have to invest first and live a tight life in the early stage. Even for me, the success rate of some talismans is not high, and I will still lose money if I force myself to draw them." Hong Jiantao said with emotion.

Talisman masters make money.

But it is also a tormenting thing to lock yourself in the studio and try some new and difficult talismans, and keep failing and catching fire, just to increase your proficiency.

Even a talented talisman master cannot master a certain talisman technique without repeated attempts and continuous trial and error.

It's all about suffering first and then sweetness, and proficiency rises little by little.

"But you don't have to worry about losing money in the future."

Hong Jiantao paused for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Xiao Changqing, are you willing to become a formal member of the Lingfu Pavilion?"

Xiao Changqing's eyes lit up, he let out a long breath, and bowed his hands and said: "Junior is willing!"

This time he was not faking.

Becoming a formal member of the Ling Fu Pavilion is the opportunity he has been waiting for for the past three days.

"Very good."

Hong Jiantao nodded, took out a golden token from the storage bag and threw it to Xiao Changqing, "Refine this token, and you will be a formal member of the Ling Fu Pavilion in the future. In this Nanshanfang, if you encounter some troubles, hold this token, as long as you are not a foundation-building cultivator, they will give you some face."

"At the same time, you will no longer have to worry about material losses when drawing talismans in the future. As long as it is within a normal and reasonable range, you can draw talismans as much as you want, gain experience for yourself, accumulate proficiency, and improve your talisman skills!"

"Of course, the talismans that are successfully drawn will also belong to the Ling Fu Pavilion."

"The Ling Fu Pavilion will pay you spirit stones based on your monthly output."

"There is no upper limit on the number of spirit stones. The higher your success rate and the higher the quality of the talisman, the greater the reward."

"Even if you make a loss, there will be a guarantee every month. Based on your current talisman attainments, the guaranteed reward is twenty lower-grade spiritual stones."

"In addition, full members of Lingfu Pavilion also enjoy cave subsidies. In addition to Grade A and B caves, Grade C and D caves can enjoy a 50% discount."

"As for the improvement of your talisman skills in the future, if you can draw a high-level talisman one day, your salary will naturally increase. You will hopefully join the sect after being inspected and become the exclusive talisman master of Lingfu Pavilion!"

Listening to shopkeeper Hong Jiantao introducing various benefits for regular employees, even though he already knew about it, he couldn't help but clench his fists at this moment.

Finally achieved the goal!

My predecessor and Zhou Yun'e came to Nanshanfang through all kinds of hardships, and the goal they had worked hard for more than ten years was achieved.

A minimum of 20 low-grade spiritual stones are guaranteed every month, which is ten times more than his previous salary!

Moreover, if you stay in Nanshanfang or Dingdongfu, you can enjoy a 50% discount.

The caves in Nanshanfang are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D based on the intensity of spiritual energy from high to low.

Among them, Grade A caves have the highest specifications, reaching the second-level mid-grade level. Ordinary monks may not be able to live there if they have money. They are generally where foundation-building monks live.

If you are rich enough and live in a second-class cave, you can reach the second level of spiritual veins.

However, the rent for a second-class cave, the smallest and poorest 'house type', is dozens of lower-grade spiritual stones, and a better one is hundreds.

The price is too high, and Lingfu Pavilion will not subsidize such a cave.

Even with subsidies, Xiao Changqing can't afford to live there now.

He can also live in the lowest level D-level cave.

A month's rent for a D-level cave is about 5-20 low-grade spiritual stones.

After the subsidy from Lingfu Pavilion, it will be reduced by half.

As for the place where Xiao Changqing lived before, it cannot be called a cave...just a shantytown.

“It’s time to move out of the shanty town!”

My predecessor spent more than ten years in Nanshanfang, and his cultivation improved a level. A large part of the reason was because the place he lived in was so bad.

The D-level caves can fully meet the daily training needs of monks in the middle stage of Qi refining. Many of the relatively poor late-stage Qi refining monks also live in D-level caves.

I believe that after moving to the D-level cave, Xiao Changqing's cultivation speed will be much faster.
