I will survive with proficiency

In the dead of night.

The yellowish oil lamp flame swayed gently in the breeze, illuminating the small space in the leather workshop quite brightly.

Chen Ping picked up the wick again with a hairpin to make the light more abundant.

Then start desk work.

——

Rune leather.

During the three days of teaching, Chen Ping never showed off his superb anatomy skills, and put on a low posture to squeeze Master Qi's knowledge reserves as much as possible.

Therefore, the skill of making rune skins has not been displayed on the panel.

That is, not yet started.

Calm down at this moment, pick up a piece of raw hide you bought, and carefully observe the thickness of the finished hide, the lines and the direction of the meridians, and the existence of hard sutras.

Then use anatomy to slowly cut along the imperceptible layers between one layer of lines and another layer of lines, and do not destroy even a trace of lines and meridians by intuition.

After one stroke, a thin piece of skin was cut off.

Chen Ping picked up the sheet, checked it carefully, then changed a tool, and began to slowly pull up a trace of hard sutra, and slowly pulled it up.

Perhaps it was the first time to use anatomy to do this work, and accidentally tore a small gap in a small place.

This made Chen Ping a little annoyed.

But he was not discouraged, and continued to repair the gap with a knife.

After repairing, carefully check the uniformity of the thickness of the skin. This process is extremely difficult to detect.

But because of his dissecting skills, Chen Ping has a natural sensitivity to skin and flesh, which makes this job much easier.

Finally, a rune skin was made.

He looked nervously at the panel.

As a result, it's a pity! !

Didn't get started.

'It's really not easy. I have superb anatomical skills, but I couldn't get started for the first time. One can imagine how difficult it is for other monks. '

'No wonder so many people say this bowl of rice is not good. '

Although he didn't get started this time, Chen Ping gained a lot.

He summed up the shortcomings of the first waste rune skin:

one,

Strength and speed are not well controlled.

It was the first time to use anatomical skills to make rune skins, but I didn't control the strength and speed when pulling the hard sutras, resulting in partial damage to the cortex.

This can make perfect.

two,

Too much pursuit of precision, resulting in small losses.

The cutting speed is too slow, but the flatness is not so good.

Should have been more conscientious.

three,

Groove repair is less than ideal.

This is related to my own cultivation. This process needs to integrate the stuffed flesh tissue with the original cortex without leaving any traces. This requires the infusion of spiritual power.

And my own cultivation is not enough.

If it is not possible, find another way, thin the rune skin, and polish it according to the thickness of the lowest part of the groove.

These are the three core issues.

Now that you have found the direction of improvement, just keep practicing.

Chen Ping picked up the finished skin and began to make the talisman skin for the second time.

then the third time

the fourth time.

After the preparation of the fifth rune skin was completed, the sense of surprise finally came.

[Skill: Anatomy (Expert): 234/1000. Rune skin (beginner): 1/1000. Cooking (proficient): 162/1000. 】

'That's right, I have finally started to make talisman skins. After three days of learning and five times of concentrated practice, I will cross the threshold. '

‘Is this... the spirit of ingenuity? '

Chen Ping put away his joyful mood, picked out the oil lamp, took a piece of skin and continued to practice.

Then it's easy.

As long as you keep practicing repeatedly, you can continue to improve in the process.

Chen Ping made it again after getting started, and every time he cut down, he could feel an indescribable force guiding him.

When a mistake is made, he seems to sense it instinctively and see where to improve.

This is a feeling that I didn't have before getting started.

'This one is not good, there is a place in the upper left corner that is too thin and not uniform enough. '

Chen Ping shook his head, and threw away the useless talisman skin.

Continue to the next one.

'This picture almost means, this line, although I know how to improve it to make it clearly visible, but the strength is not in the best state. '

Continue to the next one.

'This one is a little thicker, not transparent enough, not thick enough. '

'...'

‘This one’s toughness is a bit weak, and it’s definitely not enough to carry the Talisman’s Law of Heaven. '

'...'

Chen Ping kept turning waste into skins, kept finding the problems found in it accurately, and kept repeating the liver proficiency.

So cycle.

Until a relatively satisfactory talisman skin was placed in front of him, he looked at it for a while, feeling quite relieved.

‘This one is not bad, it’s the most successful one I made tonight. '

Chen Ping put down the rune skin, and the panel appeared, and the experience value of seeing the rune skin is:

Rune skin (entry): 312/1000.

It has risen by more than 300 points.

Not bad.

Chen Ping raised his head and looked out of the window... It was already dawn, and he was stuck all night unconsciously...

The last time I stayed up all night was eating chicken with my classmates when I graduated from college.

It feels like a world away.

Not enough. Now I am a Qi practitioner anyway, and I don't feel much sleepy if I stay up all night occasionally.

He looked at the result.

In one night, 16 finished skins were cut and scrapped.

26 unusable rune skins were produced.

The conversion rate is not high.

The proficiency needs to be improved.

...

Sharpening a knife is not a job for a woodcutter.

The tools Chen Ping is using to make the skins are still issued when he was an apprentice with Master Qi, and it feels almost meaningless to use.

So I decided to buy myself a better set.

After wandering around the market, I walked into a tool store.

There are a wide variety of products in the shop, and there are many kinds of tools for making talisman skins alone.

Chen Ping thought that since he wanted to buy it, he must buy a good set. After all, there is no loss in something that can be used for a lifetime.

He picked it out, pointed to a set and asked the merchant:

"Is this set also for sale? Why is it a bit strange?"

"Friendly eyes of Daoist. This set is a model, a model of a first-level middle-grade magic weapon. Do you use it yourself? A set of leather-making tools for a first-level middle-grade magic weapon, which can greatly improve the success of leatherworking The rate can also improve the quality of the rune skin, which is definitely worth it." The store warmly greeted it.

A first-order medium-grade magic weapon?

It was the first time for Chen Ping to be so close to the concept of a first-order middle-grade magic weapon, and he felt a little unbelievably excited.

Tier 1 mid-grade magic weapon + superb leatherworking

Then I can't fly?

"You also said it's a model, how do you sell it?" Chen Ping was calm.

"As long as Daoist friends are interested, and pay a deposit, our shop can go to the auction for Daoist friends. Our shop is operated with integrity, safe and reliable, and there will never be any fraudulent behavior. Our shop has several years of experience in auctions, and we are confident that it will be better than Daoists. It would be more appropriate for a friend to take an auction by himself.” The shopkeeper smiled professionally, probably because he was afraid of Chen Ping’s hesitation, so he continued to introduce the advantages of his shop.

This mod is... nice.

At least without showing up.

Chen Ping was a little excited.

"According to past experience, how much is a set?"

"Usually there are 13 middle-grade spirit stones. Our store can set a ceiling price. After the price exceeds the ceiling price, the store can stop bidding to avoid losses to the consignor." The store continued to introduce.

Chen Ping: .

Hasty.

Is this an upper limit issue?

this is not.

'I've just started making rune skins, so I don't need such expensive tools. It has nothing to do with being poor. '

‘It’s not safe to buy such a good tool now, and it’s a crime for me to wait until my realm has improved. It has nothing to do with being poor. ’ Chen Ping patched himself up continuously.

After shopping around for a while, I finally came across another tool set.

The whole set of tools is complete, and each tool looks like a magic weapon, making Chen Ping fond of it.

"What about this set?"

"If you have a good eye, this set is really high quality and cheap. This set of tools is all magic weapon embryos. Although it is not a magic weapon, it has the advantages of a magic weapon. It is also forged by a high-level monk using black iron. Look at the luster, I'll give you a tap to hear the sound... ding, buzz..." The shopkeeper gave a gaudy introduction.

And finally quoted the price under Chen Ping's urging:

"1 medium-grade spirit stone."

Chen Ping didn't pursue these things before, so he really didn't know they were so expensive.

1 medium-grade spirit stone equals 100 low-grade spirit stones, and he currently has only 172 spirit stones at his disposal.

How many talisman skins do I have to make to earn back?

But I really like this set.

After seeing this set, I never want to use the set given by Master Qi again.

What a difference.

Chen Ping shook his head and said:

"It's expensive. This is just the embryo of a magic weapon, and it's not a real magic weapon. How can a real master appreciate such an ineffective tool? To put it bluntly, your set of magic weapons is also based on people with real eyesight." Come buy it. Apart from me, not many monks are willing to buy it, right?"

"Look at the handle of this knife again. It doesn't even have any carvings. It's obviously a work of cutting corners. Besides, it's not a magic weapon. How can it be so expensive?"

"You monks, if there is no carving on the handle, is it cutting corners?" The store smiled and said: "It is because it is not a magic weapon that there is only one middle-grade spirit stone. If it is a first-level low-grade magic weapon, at least five are needed. Middle-grade spirit stones are the only ones. Let’s see how sincere you are, tell me how much you want.”

"60 low-grade spirit stones."

"Go, go, go, if you don't do your business, how can you entertain people like you. How can my good magic weapon be cheaper than ordinary weapons in other stores?" The store's face was dark, and he rushed away impatiently. .

Chen Ping didn't move, and said with a smile:

"Buy and sell, ask for a price, and pay back the money on the spot. If you sell and pay back, you can give a refreshing price."

After a pause, he added:

"Let's talk about it first. There are still a few tool shops in front of you. If you ask for a price that is not authentic, then I will turn around and leave."

The shopkeeper's mouth twitched.

Chen Ping talked him into thinking.

Although this set of tools is a good product, it is not easy to sell, and only those with a good eye can see it.

There are generally two types of people who buy tools for making rune skins.

One category is the master.

One category is the monks who barely make do with the talisman skins.

The former looked down on the embryo of magic artifacts, at least it was a tool for buying low-grade magic artifacts.

The latter cannot be afforded.

So this set of tools is good, but in an awkward position.

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said:

"90 low-grade spirit stones. Hey, our store really sold you at a loss. It's a loss. Forget it, 90, it's a friend."

Chen Ping: .

what the hell are you

Go on.

After some intense tugging, it was finally sold at a price of 79 low-grade spirit stones.

After negotiating the price and before closing the deal, Chen Ping took out the set of tools presented by Master Qi:

"There is a good set of tools here, which is very easy to use. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a masterpiece. Does your store recycle second-hand goods?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up.

Most of the shops here sell as well as buy, and they naturally hope to have customer officials to deliver goods to their door.

However, after seeing the tools in Chen Ping's hand, the shopkeeper's expression suddenly became crotch:

"you."

"Is it from Qi...Jiang Lun?"

Chen Ping didn't expect the other party to recognize him at a glance, and said awkwardly:

"Indeed."

"Hey, to be honest, no one wants this tool if you throw it on the side of the road. Every once in a while, we can meet fellow Taoists who come to resell this set of tools." The shopkeeper said speechlessly.

Chen Ping was even more speechless.

This Qi Jianglun is too picky.

At first it was said to be very precious.

Very good, I remember you!
