Eternal gate

This night was quite long.

Zhao Yun worked conscientiously. He never came out after entering the room, playing with his life while tempering his weapons.

Boss Lao Sun and the others are never idle. Two are carrying weapons, and one is calculating accounts. They will classify various grades.

Zhao Yun will give priority to tempering high-grade weapons. If the grade is not up to the level, other iron materials need to be refined and blended. Three or five low-grade weapons may not be able to be melted into a high-grade weapon.

Tempering is easy, but fusion is laborious.

It was almost dawn when Zhao Yun gave up and collapsed on the ground, his face already quite pale.

Bang! Bang!

What followed was this sound, pills to replenish the true energy and essence were stuffed into the mouth one by one.

Cultivation consumes resources, it can be seen from this.

Without strong financial resources, no one would dare to take pills like this, just like eating jelly beans.

There was still some time before dawn, so Zhao Yun took out the talisman paper with a flick of his hand. The equipment for drawing the talisman was all ready and laid out neatly.

The spells and patterns are mysterious and mysterious.

Such as the explosive talisman, the explanation is very simple. It is nothing more than carving power into the talisman, matching the strange lines, applying sealing and blessing power, and unsealing it in an instant. What is needed is the explosive power of that moment.

Therefore, drawing talisman is a technical job, which needs to be carved according to the lines. Which lines need to be injected with true essence, and how much should be injected, all have extremely strict requirements, and it must be done in one go. If there is any flaw, even just a trace, the success may be ruined. of.

He has seen its power before. A zombie that could not be killed by any attack was blown to pieces by an explosive talisman, which shows how terrifying it is.

However, the explosive talisman is divided into levels. It depends on how it is carved and who is the sculptor. The explosive talisman drawn by Xuanyang Realm and Ningyuan Realm are not the same. It also depends on the power carved into the talisman. , if it is added to Tianlei, it will definitely be even more powerful.

A simple talisman can be used in many ways. This is one of the reasons why the method of drawing talisman is gradually lost.

Without the step-by-step guidance of a master, God knows how many detours will be taken, and the essence may not be learned.

As time goes by, the line of Talisman masters has declined, and it is difficult to find a master of spell collection.

While he was talking, Zhao Yun had already picked up his pen, dipped it in talisman ink, and held his breath attentively. He didn't stop writing since he started writing. He was sketching every stroke, and at the same time he was mobilizing the true energy. Wherever he needed to be injected, where he needed to be retracted and released, he had to be extremely subtle. control.

It took him a stick of incense to create a talisman. After finishing the last stroke, he staggered and almost fell down. His face was pale, without any blood, and his mind was in severe pain, and there were waves of dizziness. He drew a talisman. Fu, almost lost half his life.

Look at the talisman he drew, there is light flickering, and the lines on it are all alive, especially the word "explosion" in the center, which is eye-catching to look at.

When he looked at it, the remaining light of the streaks was absorbed into the explosive talisman. At first glance, it looked no different from an ordinary talisman.

"evildoer."

The Moon God sighed. I watched it from beginning to end. The first time I drew a talisman, it was really done by Zhao Yun. Although it had flaws and looked clumsy, it could barely be called an explosive talisman. Such a talent. , It’s really unbelievable, how many hours did it take her to learn it?

"Try it."

Zhao Yun came to the window, opened a gap, threw the explosive talisman, and stuck it on the old tree in the garden.

"You are also a talent."

Luna twitched the corners of her mouth. She was testing the explosive talisman in her own house. Aren't she afraid that the roof would be blown off?

"burst."

Zhao Yun scolded in his heart, formed a seal with one hand, and released the restriction of the explosive talisman.

In an instant, a lot of the true energy in his Dantian was drained away by an inexplicable force.

This is the consumption of using the explosive talisman.

boom!

Then, there was an explosion. A big tree was blown to pieces, and the houses in the garden were also affected. God knows how many bricks and tiles were blown away, passing over the military stores and hitting the street. .

"What?"

Although it was not bright yet, there were already people walking on the street and people were setting up stalls. They didn’t know where they were. They suffered a disaster on the spot. Their head was hit by a tile and it was bleeding. They were covering their foreheads and scolding their mothers.

"What's wrong."

In the small garden of Bingpu, Mr. Sun and the others were all woken up. They ran out of the room without even putting on their shoes, and they were carrying guys in their hands. They were sleeping soundly, when there was a sudden bang, thinking that it was an outsider who came to destroy the place.

When they saw the scene in the small garden, they were stunned. What the hell was going on.

Zhao Yun coughed dryly, closed the window consciously, squatted under the window, and smiled in embarrassment.

Embarrassing as it is, there is still some joy. The power of the explosive talisman is really strong. If it is attached to a person, his blood and bones will explode all over the sky.

The first time you draw a talisman, it has such power. If you gradually improve it, if you add the sky thunder, it will definitely be more domineering.

The overbearing power comes with its own overbearing consumption. One explosive talisman took away too much of his true energy. If he threw another one like that, his true energy would probably be drained away.

Therefore, when there is not much real energy left, it is better to use less explosive talismans as they cannot sustain the consumption.

"Headache."

Zhao Yun rubbed his head. Drawing the talisman had depleted his mental energy so much that his eyes were filled with stars.

"Forging tools, refining elixirs, and painting talismans are all similar but they all have extremely high requirements on the human body's mental strength." Moon Goddess said leisurely.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

Zhao Yun also understood from what he heard that the consumption of real energy was small, but the mental load and consumption of mental power were the most unbearable.

"It will be much easier if you transform into a martial spirit." Moon God whispered in an ethereal voice.

"Martial spirit." Zhao Yun whispered.

He is no stranger to this term. Before the Tianwu realm, it was called spirit. The spirit will improve with the increase of cultivation. After entering the Tianwu realm, the spirit will transform into a martial spirit.

A spirit and a martial spirit are obviously not on the same level. No matter where they are compared, the martial spirit absolutely crushes the spirit. The spirit has spiritual power, and the martial spirit also has soul power.

In a certain sense, it is impossible for martial arts practitioners in the Tianwu realm to fall into illusions, because they have martial souls, and spiritual illusions are useless to them.

Naturally, the illusions used in the Tianwu Realm are not included in this list.

Nothing is absolute. Even if you are not in the Tianwu realm, it is possible for your spirit to transform into a martial spirit. He has read ancient books and found that there once was such a strange race that was born with a martial spirit. The world called it the Soul Clan.

People from the Soul Clan have extremely powerful souls. They are the race with the most alchemists, weapon refiners and rune masters, simply because they have innate advantages.

However, while they have innate advantages, they also have a fatal disadvantage, which is that their physical strength is pitifully weak. People of this race can play support with others, but once they are approached, it is a terrible nightmare.

Ancient books say that the Soul Clan has been extinct for a long time. It was only after they were involved in a war that the inheritance was cut off.

"Is there a way to spiritually transform a martial soul?" Zhao Yun asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Moon God said calmly.

"Teach me!" Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly brightened.

"With your current cultivation level and current physical strength, you cannot hold up the martial spirit." Moon God yawned, "There is no equal foundation, and if you bear it on your own, you will have to pay a heavy price, and the soul clan will It’s a great example.”

For a moment, the light in Zhao Yun's eyes dimmed again. He knew this.

In the final analysis, one needs to strengthen the foundation to a certain extent in order to be able to withstand the spirit of martial arts.

"Looking for elixirs, elixirs that can enhance the spirit." Moon Goddess said again. It is not that she doesn't have secret methods to train the spirit, but for Zhao Yun at this stage, they are of little use and are not as beneficial as the elixirs.

"clear."

Zhao Yun took a sip of spiritual liquid. The moon god was talking about elixirs, not pills.

It is true that the so-called Jingqi Pill can replenish mental power, but treating the symptoms rather than the root cause is the best way to improve the spirit.

However, real elixirs are hard to find. There are none for sale on the market. I searched most of the black market last time and couldn't find one. When I have time, I will go to the black market again to see if there are any.

After changing his clothes, he left the room.

In the garden, Mr. Sun and the others were still confused. They walked around the broken old tree and looked at it again and again. It was in good condition, but why did it break?

"Next time, go to the Liu Family Arms Shop for testing."

Zhao Yun put his hands in his hands and muttered in his heart, saying something serious and thoughtful. If one word was not enough, he would add another.

After the meal, he sat at the counter again.

Today, the first customer is not a weapon buyer, but an old man selling steamed buns across the street.

In addition to him, there were many people, all in extremely miserable shapes, most of them covering their foreheads. They were all unlucky people who had been hit previously.

The purpose of coming here is obvious: to ask for medical expenses.

Give, give naturally.

Zhao Yun is quite open and has one piece of silver per person.

"How generous."

The old man smiled happily. When he saw the money, his forehead no longer hurt. He had been selling steamed buns for half a year and could not even earn a single silver, so it was worth it.

Everyone else was also laughing.

It seems that in the future, he will have to hang out outside the Zhao family's military store more. If not, there is a chance that he will be smashed. When the matter is over, he will have to pay for medical expenses. The young master of the Zhao family is generous and will not blink an eye when giving money.

This is a way to make money.

However, you have to be able to carry it yourself. If you are accidentally smashed to death, then the gain outweighs the loss.

After the injured left, they came.

They are the most diligent. How can they not be diligent if they have money? Every morning when the army store opens its doors, you can always see them. Each man has a carriage, loaded with weapons, all purchased in one day and delivered to Zhao Yun in a hurry.

Collect as much as you want.

Zhao Yun does not reject anyone who comes, the more the better.

Soon, customers came to the door, most of them bringing weapons. If the money was not enough, they came to collect weapons.

"It's about time."

In front of the counter, Zhao Yun muttered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a dark shadow walking in. It was said to be a black shadow, but in fact, it was covered in a black robe. It was obvious that he did not want outsiders to know his identity. The guest looked at him sideways. Buying a weapon is still mysterious. Who is it? It's rare to see you.

"Xiu'er, can you see her true appearance?"

"Wang De." Yueshen replied casually. He was the one who fought with the sword that day.

"It seems I guessed correctly."

Zhao Yun smiled in his heart without any special expression.

"If you want more, can you get a discount?"

Wang De said calmly, already at the counter.

"Do not hit."

Zhao Yun smiled slightly. If you want to have a monopoly, you also want to get a discount? It would be nice if I don’t charge you a price increase.

"That's a hundred pieces."

Wang De didn't talk nonsense, and slapped a stack of banknotes on the counter, a total of five thousand taels.
