Mortal Cultivation: Immortality begins with the Spirit Gathering Array!

Looking at the fireball talisman floating in front of him, Su Ming took out a fireball talisman purchased from the market from his storage bag.

From the appearance, the fireball talisman refined by Su Ming is exactly the same as the one purchased from the market, but a scan of his spiritual sense revealed that the spiritual energy fluctuation contained in it is a little smaller.

Putting the purchased fireball talisman back into the storage bag, Su Ming took a deep breath, pinched the magic formula with his hand, and pointed his finger at the center of the talisman in front of him.

In addition to drawing the talisman pattern on the talisman paper, there is another crucial step in refining the talisman.

Infuse the spirit!

Just like making precision electronic instruments in the previous life, whether there is a problem or not, you can know it naturally by turning on the power.

The step of infusing the spirit of the talisman is almost the same principle.

Whether the talisman pattern drawn on the talisman paper can smoothly carry the flow of spiritual power is the most difficult and most critical point in refining the talisman.

The quality of a talisman depends on how much power the talisman can exert after infusing the spirit.

Poor quality talismans, because the talisman maker's technique of drawing talismans and infusing spirits is not good, even if the talismans can be used, their power is not as good as expected.

A powerful talisman maker can even use superb drawing talismans and infusing spirits to make a first-grade low-grade talisman exert power close to that of a first-grade middle-grade talisman.

According to the techniques recorded in [Basics of Talismans], the mana in the body is condensed into a thread, slowly injected into the fireball talisman in front of the eyes, and continuously meanders along the lines of the talisman.

At the same time, Su Ming's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the talisman along with the mana.

As the infusion of spirits continued, his mana and spiritual consciousness continued to be consumed, and the consumption of spiritual consciousness was greater than the consumption of mana.

The talismans drawn on the talisman gradually lit up during the process of infusing spirits. When one-third of them were lit up, the spiritual power on the fireball talisman in front of him suddenly became disordered, with signs of riot.

Su Ming was startled, and without thinking, he took out the "Black Iron Umbrella" from the storage bag to cover the talisman with violent spiritual power.

"Boom!" With a sound.

The fireball talisman in front of him exploded in mid-air, turned into a ball of fire, and burned it completely.

Su Ming looked at the talisman that turned into ashes in mid-air, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

Putting the "Black Iron Umbrella" back into the storage bag, Su Ming calmed down and began to recall the whole process of making the talisman in his mind.

This is a good habit he has left behind from constantly simulating the formation in the Hetu space. Finding problems and analyzing the process after each failure is a valuable experience and an indispensable process.

"There is a problem with the drawing of the talisman, and the stability of the spiritual power during the process of infusing the spirit is not enough..."

After finding the problem, Su Ming picked up a blank talisman paper again, picked up the silver wolf hair brush at hand, and started to refine the fireball talisman again.

Pick up the pen, dip in ink, draw the rune, inject spirit...

As the rune on the talisman lights up again, the familiar chaotic fluctuation of spiritual energy appears in Su Ming's spiritual sense perception again.

It is undoubtedly another failure.

Su Ming's face is neither happy nor sad, and his heart is as calm as water. He calmly takes out the "black iron umbrella" from the storage bag to cover the talisman.

This time, he simply puts the "black iron umbrella" on the table so that he can use it at any time.

No matter which skill of cultivating immortals, it is not friendly to beginners, and failure is commonplace. Behind every successful talisman maker are countless failures.

Su Ming had expected this long ago. Even though there are many connections between the formation and the talisman, his spiritual sense is not inferior to that of the late stage of Qi Refining under the tempering of the River Map and Luoshu, and he never thought that he could succeed in refining the talisman a few times.

Instead of refining the talisman directly again, Su Ming took out a booklet to record the problems encountered, and further analyzed and thought about the shortcomings in the process of refining the talisman, and what areas can be improved.

A quarter of an hour later, the familiar roar sounded again.

......

Half a day passed in a flash, and the night darkened.

"Even the talisman that consumes very little spiritual stones is like this. The spiritual stones required for alchemy and refining are simply unimaginable. No wonder there are so few alchemists and refining masters in the world of immortal cultivation..."

"Not to mention the highest threshold array master..."

Su Ming looked at the fireball talisman in front of him that had been infused with spirits, and said to himself with some emotion.

If there were no Hetu Luoshu, let alone the array, even the so-called "low threshold" talisman would not be affordable for him.

A first-level low-grade spiritual talisman is worth one spiritual stone, and one spiritual stone can buy three sets of fireball talisman materials.

This low-quality fireball talisman in front of him cost Su Ming thirty sets of materials, and the cost was enough to buy ten good-quality fireball spiritual talismans.

Not to mention that the quality of the fireball talisman made by Su Ming was extremely low. It was a barely successful defective product. I am afraid that it could not even exert half of the power of the fireball spell. It was okay to use it to bully the warriors in the mortal world, but it would be laughable to use it against the cultivators.

However, the first success was a good start. With the experience of this success as a reference, Su Ming was confident that he could refine a fireball talisman of qualified quality in the next period of time.

This is because Su Ming has the foundation of the formation and his spiritual sense is stronger than that of the cultivators of the same level. Only then can he barely refine a low-quality fireball talisman. If it were someone else, it might take hundreds of times to succeed once.

Su Ming did not continue to refine the spiritual talisman. With his fifth-level Qi Refining cultivation, refining thirty fireball talismans was already the limit. Other cultivators of the same level might have their spiritual sense exhausted after twenty times.

Studying the talisman is not a matter of a day or a night. At this time, his spiritual sense was less than 20%, and continuing to refine the spiritual talisman would easily damage his mind.

Su Ming, who was tired, sat cross-legged on the bed and activated the water spirit gathering array to start practicing. The practice of the technique is the foundation of everything powerful, and it must be done every day.

"The water spirit gathering array plus the spiritual energy concentration of the first-level superior spiritual vein has at least increased my practice speed by 30%. If I continue like this, I may have a chance to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining after a year of miscellaneous work!"

Two hours later, Su Ming finished his practice, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

This speed is almost catching up with the double spiritual root cultivators in the sect.

After finishing the practice, Su Ming only felt the fatigue that was hard to dispel surged in his heart, and Su Ming fell asleep without resistance.

......

Time passed, and a year passed quietly in the blink of an eye.

In the courtyard, Su Ming's face was a little haggard, his long hair was scattered on his shoulders, and there was a short stubble on his chin.

At this time, Su Ming's eyes were particularly bright, and he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and his fingers slowly tapped on a talisman in front of him that was emitting a golden halo.

Since Su Ming passed the assessment of the Talisman Hall and successfully refined a first-level lower-grade wind-running talisman by himself, he basically began a life of hard cultivation.

Within a year, Su Ming spent two hours every day practicing the technique and refining the spiritual energy through the water-based spirit gathering array, and then spent two hours carefully studying the [Basics of Talismans], recording the parts he didn't understand and pondering them.

Then he spent another hour practicing spells and magic tools. The immortal cultivator's longevity is against the will of heaven, so it is impossible to be smooth sailing. If you want to keep moving forward on the road to longevity, you will inevitably step on the corpses of others.

In addition to the improvement of the realm of cultivation, magic tools and spells, such as the art of protecting the way, are also an important part of the strength. They must not be unfamiliar when it comes to life.

At night, Su Ming began his own talisman-making career.

In addition to refining the wind-running talismans that the talisman hall needs to hand in every day, he has saved up a lot of talismans for himself by relying on his spiritual awareness that far exceeds that of cultivators of the same level, and the extremely high success rate of talisman making under the blessing of formation cultivation.

In a year, Su Ming has successfully mastered the refining of "Fireball Talisman" and "Wind-running Talisman", with a success rate of up to 80%. When he is in good condition, he can even refine the top-grade "Fireball Talisman" and "Wind-running Talisman" with power comparable to the first-level mid-grade.

Now, Su Ming is trying to refine the first-level mid-grade defensive talisman "Vajra Talisman".
