Start from the Martial Arts

"In addition to water curtain and golden light shield, you have to learn another offensive spell."

Fang Xiu thought.

He has now broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, his consciousness has increased from five feet to ten feet, and he can control one middle-grade magic weapon, or two low-grade magic weapons.

If coupled with the spiritual consciousness bonus of Gou Ping'an's pattern, he can improve his spiritual consciousness to a level comparable to the late stage of Qi refining in a short period of time.

That is to say, it can control one high-grade magic weapon, or two medium-grade magic weapons, and as for the low-grade magic weapon, it can control as many as four.

"Buy a mid-grade defensive magic weapon, or even a high-grade defensive magic weapon, and use it as a trump card at the bottom of the box..."

It is enough to have three unique Zhoujin methods of attack.

Learn another offensive spell and make more talismans.

After all, the mana consumption of the activating talisman is very low.

"A mid-grade magic weapon requires at least two hundred spirit stones, and defensive ones are about 20% more expensive."

Fang Xiu felt dark in his heart.

Before doing this, he would definitely not have spent the spiritual stones on magic weapons.

Now Lu Jin suddenly appeared in Anpingfang City, which made Fang Xiu feel that his safety was threatened.

Although Lu Jin may not take action against him, his life safety cannot be left in the hands of others.

After breaking through the fourth level of Qi refining, Fang Xiu maintained his usual low profile.

After he used seventy-three spiritual stones to purchase a low-grade magical weapon, a purple gold talisman pen, from Master Chen, the efficiency of making talismans increased significantly.

Master Chen recently changed to a mid-grade talisman pen, which eliminated the purple gold talisman pen.

The talisman pen itself is one of the most expensive types of magical weapons of the same level, just like the formation flag and formation plate.

Although this talisman pen has been used by Master Chen for many years and is already very old, it is indeed a fine product among low-grade talisman pens.

The price of seventy-three spiritual stones is not expensive.

Half a year later.

In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.

In the woods behind Penglu District.

Panting—

Poof!

An ice arrow about a foot long shot out, flew ten feet away in an instant, and penetrated a thick tree.

Finally it plunged deep into a huge rock.

Under the refraction of the sun, the arrow body glowed with a cold light.

Another ice arrow condensed in mid-air.

A water curtain about one foot long and six feet high blocked the front of the ice arrow.

puff! !

Fang Xiu controlled the ice arrows to fly out and pierce the water curtain fiercely. The ice arrows rotated at high speed, causing the water curtain talisman to form a barrier and water splashed everywhere. Finally, after stopping for a breath, it pierced the defense of the water curtain.

Click!

The ice arrow also exhausted its last strength and shattered inch by inch while piercing the water curtain.

"The power of this ice arrow technique is really concentrated!"

Since he purchased Master Chen's purple gold talisman pen, Fang Xiu has been able to make talismans more smoothly. In order to improve his talisman making and make more money, he has not purchased any elixirs in the past six months to assist his cultivation, but has spent all his spiritual stones on blank talisman paper. and higher quality spiritual blood cinnabar on top.

Half of his time was spent on making talismans, and the other half was spent desperately practicing spells.

[Spells: Water Curtain·Proficiency (72%), Ice Arrow·Proficiency (26%).】

Water Curtain Technique has entered the proficiency stage.

The golden mask is still in the introductory stage.

On the contrary, the Ice Arrow technique, which is also a first-level mid-level spell, caught up and surpassed the Water Curtain technique.

Ice archery is more difficult to practice. But I don't know if the ice strength that Fang Xiu had practiced before contained the power of coldness. The process of practicing ice arrows was not easy, but the results were gratifying. The progress was slow at the beginning and faster and faster at the end.

Especially when he was making the ice arrow talisman, his body would sometimes feel inexplicably cold, which made him feel like a god was helping him when making the talisman.

"The ice arrows are sharp, fast, and powerful. They are very similar to the Three Ultimate Pills."

Fang Xiu plans to focus on making ice arrow talismans in the future.

The Three Ultimate Pills are very powerful, but the special effects of breaking Qi and breaking Gang have no effect on the thick water flow formed by magic like the Water Curtain Talisman. They can only break through the water curtain purely by relying on their own power.

In this way, the advantages of Sanjue Danjin cannot be fully utilized.

The ice arrows condensed by the Ice Arrow Technique will rotate at high speed during flight. This characteristic is not possessed by the Three Ultimate Pills.

For spells with evenly distributed defenses such as Water Curtain and Earth Wall, it has the effect of breaking the surface with points.

Body-protecting spiritual light, golden light shield, and the most powerful defensive spell in the Qi refining period, the Golden Bell Technique. This type of Qi shield type spell,

The biggest feature is that it can automatically control the center of defense.

This type of spell looks like an all-round protective shield, but when attacked, the defense will be concentrated on the area being attacked.

Therefore, it is the most popular among defensive spells of the same level.

Ice Arrow is relatively unpopular among first-level mid-level offensive spells. In addition to being difficult to practice, the most important thing is that the effect is not obvious when used against body-protecting auras and golden light shields.

A concentrated attack and a concentrated defense are naturally easy to eat.

Both are first-level mid-level spells. The advanced version of Fire Ball Technique is easier to practice than Ice Arrow Technique. Moreover, because the power is relatively dispersed and the internal temperature is extremely high, it is easy to deal with the golden light shield.

Just the scattered high heat can make the monks inside the golden light shield suffer.

Of course, if the fireball technique encounters the water curtain technique, it will be completely defeated.

The ice arrow technique uses points to break the face, and the three unique pills and powerful sky-defeating aura-type spells are used.

Only children make choices, and only then can they choose everything.

“Next, we can make special water curtain charms for sale.’’

Fang Xiu recently increased the success rate of making water curtain talismans to 20%.

This success rate is already very profitable.

The first-level low-grade Talisman Seal scripts are mostly two pieces of one spiritual stone. The high-quality Talisman Seal scripts are equivalent to the spells released at the third level of Qi Refining. They are more expensive, and most of them are one Spirit Stone, or one and a half spirit stones.

When it reaches the first level of mid-grade talisman seals, the price skyrockets instantly.

The price of a first-level mid-grade talisman seal is generally four to six spiritual stones.

The requirements for blank talisman paper to make talismans are higher, and you can only buy five for one spiritual stone.

The price of the first-level mid-grade spiritual blood cinnabar is close to that of a low-grade magic weapon.

The previous success rate was 10%, and making a water curtain talisman meant spending money to increase proficiency.

Now the success rate has increased to 20%, with an average of ten spells a day and two successes.

After excluding the cost, you can earn five or six spiritual stones.

This is much more profitable than making a first-level low-grade talisman.

Including the time to recover mental power, if you make a talisman once every three or four days, you can earn fifty or sixty spiritual stones after just one month's rest.

In one year, that's a huge sum of five to six hundred spiritual stones.

Come down like this. It only takes about four years. He was able to buy the spiritual stone of the second-level longevity elixir.

Including the consumption of training, the maximum is six years.

Moreover, as his cultivation improves, his efficiency in making talismans can also be improved.

Fang Xiu didn't expect to be able to break through the late stage of Qi refining. It would be enough to reach the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining before going back.

Another half year has passed. Fang Xiu is thirty-one years old.

In the past six months, Fang Xiu has become increasingly famous in the shanty towns.

Because he can stably make a first-level mid-level defensive spell like Water Curtain Talisman, and he only sells it for five spiritual stones.

There is an endless stream of people coming to him to buy talismans.

Fang Xiu went to the Treasure Pavilion with more than 500 spiritual stones he had accumulated over the past year.

This time, he found Yan Shou and asked in a low voice if there were any high-quality mid-level defensive magic weapons for sale.

"Mid-grade defensive weapon?" Yan Shou looked surprised.

"Yeah." Fang Xiu nodded.

"Fellow Taoist Gao, please come with me to the side room to talk." Yan Shou asked Fang Xiu to go to the inner room for the first time and asked the waiter to bring spiritual tea.

"Actually... with Gao Daoyou's cultivation level, if you control a medium-grade defensive magic weapon, it will consume a lot of mana.

Still unable to control other magic weapons. Instead of doing this, it is better to buy the robes I recommended to you before. "

Yan Shou pondered.

"The first-order middle-grade snow silk robe comes with a first-order middle-grade magic golden light shield, which can be activated twice a day.

The golden light shields attached here are equivalent to the spells unleashed by peak monks at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

It's enough to withstand a full-force attack from a high-grade magic weapon, and it's all instantaneous, requiring almost no consumption of your own mana.

In addition, the robe also comes with three highly applicable magic circles: light body, dust avoidance, and rapidity.

Five hundred and eighty spiritual stones are really not expensive. As I said before, I can give you a 50% discount if you want it. "

"Fang Xiu fell into silence.

If he buys a high-grade defensive magic weapon, his magic power won't last long.

The water curtain talisman and golden light talisman he is currently making are equivalent to the spells released by a normal fourth-level Qi refining monk.

The defense is difficult to withstand the full blow of a high-grade magic weapon, so two of them must be stacked and used together.

Moreover, his current success rate in making golden light talismans is very low, and the water curtain talisman cannot defend 360 degrees without blind spots.

Fang Xiu's attack power is now fully maxed out, but his defense power is relatively weak.

Using his martial arts cultivation base to cast body skills, coupled with the light body and rapid magic circle, unless his cultivation level is too much beyond him, it will be difficult for Fa Bu and Fa Yi to hit him. All he needs to do is to counterattack Yuan Fa's inner escape at the critical moment. Just tap on the rose.

Yan Shou really moved him.

Of course, Fang Xiu remained calm on the surface and smiled bitterly:

"Fellow Daoist Yan really thinks highly of me. I can't afford five hundred and eighty spiritual stones even at a 95% discount." What if it's a 15% discount? Yan Shou said with a smile.

"Seriously?!" Fang Xiu was surprised and couldn't believe it.

"As long as Fellow Daoist Gao agrees to help Senior Brother Wei for one month, he can get a 10% discount. The other 0.5% discount is my permission as the manager." Yan Shou explained.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Yan so friendly to me?" Fang Xiu asked.

Yan Shou said with a smile: "Although the robe is very practical, it is too expensive.

Generally, monks in the middle stage of Qi refining cannot afford it, but monks in the late stage of Qi refining have sufficient mana and prefer to use defensive magic weapons.

The first-level mid-level robes are the hardest to sell. As long as I don't lose money, my monthly salary will be the same no matter how much I sell or how little I sell.

Anyway, Yan's contribution in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill is enough. If he can successfully break through the Foundation Establishment in the future, this contribution will be nothing.

If A fails, there will be no chance. "

"I see." Fang Xiu suddenly realized that those who were paid dead wages were indeed not as motivated as those who were paid commissions.

What's more, Yan Shouzi was born without any relatives or descendants, so he didn't need to prepare anything for his descendants.

"I'll think about it."

"Do you still want to see the middle-grade defensive magic weapon?"

"look!"

Fang Xiu looked at several medium-grade defensive magic weapons, but he was not satisfied with any of them. Either the defense power was high enough, but too bulky, or they were light and practical, but consumed a lot of mana.

If he were facing a cultivator of the same level, there would be no need for him to purchase a defensive magic weapon.

These are prepared for masters in the late stage of Qi refining.

Finally, Yan Shouwen took out a high-quality defensive magic weapon and showed it to Fang Xiu, but when Fang Xiu heard about the mana consumption, he shook his head like a rattle on the spot.

Spending nearly 600 spiritual stones to buy a high-quality defensive magic weapon that will run out of mana after being activated once or twice, isn't there something wrong with your brain?

Although he has lost his magic power and still has martial arts cultivation, it is very dangerous to have his magic power drained out. The first-level mid-level talisman seal must be activated with magic power, and innate true essence is not acceptable.

"I'll think about it again." Fang Xiu pondered for a moment.

"That's fine." Yan Shou nodded, since he was idle anyway.

"By the way, a male cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining recently asked me about Fellow Taoist Gao when he was buying pills. Do you know that person?"

Before Fang Xiu left, Yan Shou suddenly said.

"Seventh level of Qi refining?" Fang Xiu immediately thought of Lu Jin.

"What does this person look like?"

"He has a majestic figure and looks like a middle-aged man, but he is probably disguised." Yan Shou took a deep look at Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu was a little embarrassed by what he saw. He cupped his hands at Yan Shou and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Yan, for reminding me. I'll be careful."

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Fang Xiu was still thinking about what happened just now.

It seems that Yan Shou has probably discovered his true identity, but there is no conflict of interest with him.

I didn't think of criticizing him.

night.

Fang Xiu went to the back of the shanty town to practice his spells.

A handsome young man in black robe took the initiative to walk out of the forest.

It was Lu Jin.

"I never expected that you, a mortal warrior, would be so well-hidden and possess such superb talisman-making skills in just three years.'"

Lu Jin looked at Fang Xiu with a playful expression.

"Your Excellency, you are so courageous. You intercepted and killed the Danxia Sect's true biography, and then you showed up in the city with such a big show." Fang Xiu frowned slightly.

"So what, as long as Fangshi's foundation-building ancestors don't take action, I can come and go as I please.

However, now that the foundation-building ancestor himself is in danger, he may not have the heart to meddle in so many other things. "

Lu Jin sneered.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you! From now on, you will hand over half of your monthly income, and I can guarantee your safety in Anpingfang City.

Otherwise, if I can let you go, Boss Shura will not let you go either! ’”

"I'll give you three days to think about it." After saying that, Lu Jin walked away in a swaggering manner.

The next moment, a sharp sound broke through the air in his ears.

Poof!

A blue shuttle flew out of his sleeves, shattering the two sword beams that shot out.

At the same time, the surface of Lu Jin's black robe was filled with aura, instantly activating a layer of golden light shield and two layers of protective aura, blocking the ice arrows that followed.

"Your courage is quite..." Lu Jin put his hands behind his back and turned around with a sneer.

What greeted him were more than twenty ice arrows and hundreds of sword rays.

Puff puff puff puff!

Boom boom boom!

After a violent fluctuation of mana, Lu Jin was blasted into a hedgehog by ice arrows, his body was smashed into a sieve by the sword light, and his corpse fell on his back.

"Pretending to be cool, I'm not as good as you..." Fang Xiu walked up to the corpse.

The Three Ultimate True Strength Talisman that had been saved for more than a year could probably break even a mid-level defensive magic weapon, but it did not break Lu Jin's mouth.

Fang Xiu took off the storage bag from Lu Jin's waist.

Mana and spiritual consciousness penetrated into it.

"so much?!!"

Fang Xiu looked at the more than a thousand spiritual stones in Lu Jin's storage bag, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
