Do not die

The price of a first-level mid-grade magic weapon is usually between 200 and 400 low-grade spiritual stones.

But this usually refers to offensive and defensive magic weapons in a general sense. It is normal for magic weapons with special requirements such as talisman pens to be more difficult to make and more expensive.

Moreover, the free "Introduction to Talisman Making" and fifty copies of basic talisman materials including talisman paper and talisman ink are also valuable.

Therefore, as far as this consumption is concerned, it is very affordable and not a loss at all.

But this consumption almost completely destroyed his wallet.

"I hope that before these ninety-six low-grade spiritual stones are spent, investing so much in making talismans can be successful and restore a little blood."

Returning to the stone room of Zuowang Hall, Meng Zhou first took out the Lingmi Lingcha, washed the kitchen utensils and tea sets in the flowing Lingquan, took some Lingmi and simmered it slowly on the stove.

Only then did Meng Zhou enter the study, took out "Introduction to Talisman Making" and read through it slowly.

…

Through the memory of the former master and Meng Zhou's personal experience and knowledge, there is a very obvious feeling.

The practice methods and knowledge that should be the most valuable are actually the least difficult to obtain, and the prices are generally far lower than Meng Zhou expected.

For example, a precious cultivation method that can help people cultivate to the point of foundation building is worth about a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. This does seem to be a lot, but it is only half the price of a first-grade high-grade magic weapon.

For another example, if you only need to purchase a first-level mid-grade talisman pen, the knowledge "Introduction to Talisman Making" can be given for free.

This reality is somewhat conflicting with Meng Zhou's cognition. At first, he was confused by this for a long time.

It wasn't until he spent a few days in the Baiyue Bay Teahouse that he gradually understood what was going on.

During the Constellation Palace period, knowledge related to practice is the most precious and most difficult to obtain.

Whether it is a sect, a family or a casual cultivator, they all protect these as their lifeblood.

At that time, the threshold for seeking immortality was high, the number of practitioners was small, and the quality was high.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a group that only exists in myths and legends.

With the closure of the Xingxiu Palace, the struggle for the ownership of many spiritual veins has been a seventy-year-long melee.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.

There are old forces and inheritances that are disappearing, and there are also new organizations that are rising rapidly.

In Meng Zhou's eyes, this has the meaning of the decline of Emperor Zhou, and the transition from the Spring and Autumn Period, where everything was about winning and doing everything possible to the Warring States Period.

Old ideas were eliminated, and new ideas represented by Qingxuanzong became more and more popular.

They no longer treasure the spiritual practice or other related knowledge they have in their hands and hide it in a high cabinet, but use it as a recruiting bargaining chip to attract talents.

Even in order to expand the number of cheap cannon fodder, he took the initiative to lower his profile and go to the secular society to find good seedlings and provide them with a "road to the Tao".

More and more mortals are becoming Qi practicing monks through various "opportunities" and entering the world of spiritual practice.

The number of low-level monks in the cultivation world is increasing rapidly, and a large number of Qi training, foundation-level cultivation methods and other knowledge are inevitably spreading more and more, even to the point of flooding.

The biggest difference between knowledge and resources is that a piece of knowledge will not change its value even if it is copied into ten thousand copies.

Resources are real. There is only as much as there is, and it is impossible to get even a single cent more.

…

Meng Zhou spent two days reading the thin "Introduction to Talisman Making" over a dozen times, and he could almost recite the text inside.

The five basic talismans in "Introduction to Talisman Making" are the cleansing talisman, the flashing talisman, the light body talisman, the traction talisman, and the spiritual shield talisman.

Meng Zhou chose the cleansing talisman with the simplest structure, but he tried making ten of them, but none of them worked.

"The efficiency of working behind closed doors is too slow. We still need to find a teacher to lead the way."

But thinking of the spiritual stones on his body, Meng Zhou was convinced that with his small fortune, it was impossible to find a serious teacher.

"I don't need any serious teachers, I just need someone to get me through the door."

Meng Zhou had someone in mind.

…

Yu Peng put away the tables and chairs and walked out of the square, deliberately avoiding the middle of the street, lowering his head and hurried home.

After walking a certain distance, just after leaving the main road and entering an alleyway going home, a burly figure appeared directly in front, with no intention of avoiding it.

He frowned slightly, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he took two steps to the right, almost leaning against the wall and passing by the other party.

But the figure also took two steps to the right, blocking him directly in front of him again. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and reacted in time, he might have been knocked into someone's arms.

He finally raised his head in dissatisfaction and looked at the person blocking his way.

It can be seen that his burly and tall figure, fierce and fierce temperament, his momentum was directly reduced by three points.

"Why did you block my way?"

Meng Zhou said directly: "I have some questions that I would like to ask my little friend for advice!"

Yu Peng was confused: "What do you want to ask me for?"

Ten failed talismans appeared in Meng Zhou's hand and he showed them in front of the other party. He said, "Please help me correct them to see why they failed. At the same time, teach me the correct drawing method."

Yu Peng glanced at it and already had a rough idea, but still refused: "Sorry, you have found the wrong person. I am just a student. If you want to learn how to make talismans, I suggest you go to Baiyi Hall or Zhenfu. Check out the museum.

There are first-level high-grade talisman masters stationed there. If you have any questions about talisman making, they can help you answer them. "

Meng Zhou shook his head and said, "I'll look for you!"

Yu Peng frowned. If the person in front of him was not obviously stronger than him and he couldn't beat him, he would have been unable to hold back his violent words.

But even so, his dissatisfaction was clearly written on his face.

A talisman appeared in each of his hands, ready to be struck out at any time.

Meng Zhou turned a blind eye and continued:

"I'm not just messing around. Since you are the one who leads me on the journey of making talismans, you should understand that a good beginning must end well. Otherwise, our karma will never be resolved."

Yu Peng frowned: "Your Excellency, must you be dizzy? When did I become your guide?"

"Three days ago, you were practicing in the square and making talismans on the spot. I watched you draw for a long time.

It was precisely because of your inspiration that I decided to learn how to make talismans! "

As he spoke, a talisman pen appeared in Meng Zhou's hand, "I bought this talisman pen from the Treasure Pavilion after watching you make the talisman. It cost me six hundred spirit stones."

“￥%￥ # ……”

Yu Peng didn't know how to speak. If he insisted on speaking, he would just say, "Rich tycoon, we are different!"

The other party's reason sounded ridiculous, but he believed it.

The first reason was that he knew this talisman pen, and he had been coveting it for a long time. He was thinking of buying it back when he had accumulated enough spiritual stones. Unexpectedly, someone could get it first.

The second reason is, of course, that this reason is too ridiculous.
