Chapter 195: Second-level middle-grade spiritual talisman

It is not particularly rare for outer disciples to make first-level spiritual talismans. After all, many disciples are descendants of aristocratic families and have been immersed in the art of talismans since childhood. Some of them can even successfully make first-level talismans before they enter the sect.

Once Shi Feng mastered the entry essentials of talismans, his progress became rapid. He continued to practice day and night. Soon, the success rate of the first-level talismans he made became higher and higher, and the quality became better and better.

Three months later, the quality of the first-level talismans he made had reached the upper grade, and the success rate of the upper grade was 50%, and the success rate of the lower grade was almost 100%, which made his teacher who taught him admired him.

Two months later, Shi Feng made the first fire snake talisman. As soon as the news came out, there was a small sensation in the outer sect.

The fire snake talisman is a second-level talisman. It is rare for an outer disciple to make a second-level talisman after two or three years of entry, and Shi Feng has only been an entry for one year.

For a time, Shi Qi's name spread throughout the sect, and even two Jindan elders were very interested in him, but when these people saw Shi Feng, they immediately lost their temper.

This talisman genius disciple was only a fourth-level spiritual root, and he was barely at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Any sect must look at the potential when cultivating disciples. A fourth-level spiritual root can only barely enter the door of cultivation. Unless there is a chance against the sky and take elixirs and elixirs, there is basically no hope of building a foundation in this life.

Although the Nine Talisman Sect is famous for its talisman array, it is not without requirements for the cultivation of cultivators. In fact, it is impossible to make talismans above the fourth level without a cultivation level above the foundation building level, because in addition to depicting the talisman pattern, the talisman must also seal the magic power in it. The higher the level of the talisman, the higher the requirements for the cultivator's cultivation.

For someone like Shi Qi, what is the use of being talented in talismans? Therefore, Shi Qi's name was soon forgotten after attracting attention for a short time.

A year passed quickly, and at the end of the year, there was another round of selection for the inner sect. Twenty-one of the more than 100 disciples who entered the sect with Shi Qi performed outstandingly and were selected to enter the inner sect.

Among them was Chang Peiyu, who had a seventh-level spiritual root and had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. She would have the possibility of building a foundation in the next ten years. Therefore, although she performed mediocrely in talismans, she was still accepted into the inner sect.

However, no one cared about Shi Qi, the talisman genius, and he still stayed in the outer sect. Occasionally, when someone asked about it, the person being asked would sigh repeatedly, saying that although he had the talent to make talismans, his qualifications were too poor.

However, Shi Qi himself seemed to be unaware of it. He still buried himself in making talismans every day. As his skills grew, the content explained by the lecturers was no longer attractive to him, so he became obsessed with the Sutra Pavilion every day.

There is a Sutra Pavilion in the inner and outer gates of the Nine Talisman Sect. The collection of the outer gate is naturally not comparable to that of the inner gate. However, the Nine Talisman Sect is worthy of being a talisman array sect that has inherited ancient times. Even the collection of the outer gate is enough to make ordinary sects unable to match it.

When Shi Feng was in Taiji Sect, he asked Lu Zhen to collect talisman array books, but compared with the collection of Jiufu Sect, both the quantity and quality were far behind.

With such concentration, Shi Feng's talisman array level also improved by leaps and bounds. In the past, he often felt confused when reading Jin Qingyun's "Talisman Array Essentials", but as his level improved, he now had no difficulty reading "Talisman Array Essentials".

In terms of talent in talisman array, Jin Qingyun was much stronger than Shi Feng. His painstaking notes as a foundation-building talisman array master were of great help to Shi Feng.

Shi Feng's life was as tepid as a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples, but another person was a little anxious, and this person was Chang Peiwu.

After borrowing Shi Feng's spirit stone, Chang Peiwu had always been idle and had no income. Seeing that the day of repayment was coming, he took the initiative to ask the sect for a mission to go far away to avoid Shi Feng.

At the end of the year, because his sister Chang Peiyu was selected to join the inner sect, Chang Peiwu came back happily. He thought that since his sister was now a senior disciple of the inner sect, Shi Qi should be sensible and should not mention the word "repaying the debt" again? !

However, Shi Qi was indeed a fool obsessed with talismans and completely ignorant of worldly affairs. He asked Chang Peiwu to pay back the money twice in a row. Chang Peiwu was embarrassed and annoyed. He prevaricated on the surface, but cursed in secret.

In fact, Shi Feng never cared about a mere 1,000 spirit stones, but if he didn't ask for it, it seemed unreasonable and aroused suspicion, so he asked a few questions casually when they met.

Helplessly, Chang Peiwu could only go to his sister and ask her to "remind" Shi Qi as an inner sect disciple.

Fortunately, Chang Peiyu was quite sensible and told her brother not to make trouble. Brother Shi had done her a favor, and the spirit stones must be returned in full.

Although Chang Peiyu entered the inner sect and received the sect subsidy, she was still short of money. She found two good sisters and collected 500 spirit stones. She asked Chang Peiwu to return it to Shi Qi first, and asked Shi Qi to give her some time for the rest.

That night, Chang Peiyu knocked on the door to find Shi Feng. The two sat down. Shi Feng still had a face as hard as a rock. Chang Peiyu smiled and told him the purpose of her visit. She handed over the storage bag and said, "This is 500 spirit stones. For the remaining 500, please give me another three months. How about that?"

He actually still owed Shi Feng 800 spirit stones, but he deliberately said 500 here to see if Shi Feng still remembered.

Shi Feng really didn't remember. He took the storage bag, counted it, and nodded, "If you are short of money, it doesn't matter if you delay it for a few days."

Chang Peiwu was overjoyed and immediately flattered Shi Feng to the sky.

Shi Feng just wanted him to leave quickly and not delay him, but he was naturally gentle and dull on the surface, without showing any impatience.

Chang Peiwu walked back and forth while talking. He saw a stack of prepared talisman seals piled on Shi Feng's desk, so he picked it up and praised, "The young shopkeeper is a genius in talismans. I heard that he can make second-level talisman seals in just one year." Yes, this person has been ranked among the top thirty in the sect for decades, and is more than a little better than my brother."

Suddenly, his expression changed, "Here, this talisman was made by you, the young shopkeeper?"

Shi Feng nodded and asked doubtfully, "I made it, what's wrong with it?"

Chang Peiwu's eyes widened, "This, this is a middle-grade second-grade talisman seal. Is it really made by you?"

Shi Feng nodded again.

Chang Peiwu picked up the ice arrow talisman, put it under the moonstone, turned it over and looked at it carefully, and asked, "Young shopkeeper, when did you start making mid-grade second-grade talisman seals?"

Shi Feng thought about it and said, "About five days ago."

Chang Peiwu said, "Why haven't these talismans and seals been handed over?"

Shi Feng looked at him and said he didn't understand.

"Young shopkeeper, why are you pretending to be confused? Don't all the talismans and seals made by our outer disciples have to be handed in? No," he suddenly woke up, "could it be said? Young shopkeeper, don't you make more than ten talismans and seals a day?"

The Nine Talisman Sect stipulates that after the outer disciples master the way of making talismans, they will have the task of handing in talisman seals every day. In the first three years, they must hand in ten talisman seals every day. After every year, the task will increase. .

Correspondingly, the sect will also reward its disciples with spiritual stones, elixirs, materials, etc. according to the quantity turned in.

Of course, the value of these rewards is insignificant compared to the spiritual talismans.

After Shi Feng understood this rule, he also secretly smiled bitterly. No wonder the conditions for recruiting disciples of Jiufu Sect are relatively simple, especially for the outer disciples. This is not recruiting disciples, but clearly recruiting a large number of cheap talisman-making laborers.

The reason why the Nine Talisman Sect sells a large number of talismans every year is inseparable from the large number of almost free labor in the outer sect.

Shi Feng can take turns to rest due to his spiritual consciousness, and with his abundant mana, he can make more than thirty talismans in a day.

He would definitely not tell the truth in front of Chang Peiwu, so he held out two fingers and said, "Twenty cards a day, hand over ten and keep ten."

When Chang Peiwu heard this, his eyes flickered and he suddenly lowered his voice, "Young shopkeeper, who else knows about this?"

Shi Qi shook his head blankly.

"It's fine if no one knows. Don't panic, young shopkeeper. This is a good thing. My brother wants to ask you, do you want to get rich?"

Shi Qi obviously couldn't figure out what medicine Chang Peiwu was selling in his gourd, and stared at Chang Peiwu without saying a word.

Chang Peiwu asked, "How about it? Young shopkeeper, do you want to make a lot of spiritual stones in the future?"

“Who doesn’t want to get rich?!”

Chang Peiwu smiled and said, "Very good. If you want to get rich, brother, I can give you a clear path. But I can't guarantee whether it will happen or not. It also depends on the meaning above. These talismans of yours Lend it to me first, and I will reply to you tomorrow. However, please remember not to let anyone know about this."

On the second day, lunch class was over and it was almost dusk.

Chang Peiwu led Shi Qi all the way to the back mountain, and entered through the side door of Jiuhe Hall. In front of him was an archway, and next to it was a jade plaque that read, "The inner gate is an important place. Outer disciples are not allowed to enter without any reason. Violators" "important" words.

There are two disciples on duty standing beside the archway, one male and one female. Chang Peiwu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hello, senior brother, hello, senior sister! I have been summoned by senior brother Liu to go to the Xianling Pavilion."

The disciple on the left smiled and said, "So I'm looking for Senior Brother Liu." The female disciple on the right said with a straight face, "Where is the token?"

Chang Peiwu quickly handed over the jade plaque in his hand, and the woman took it, inspected it and waved her hand, "Go in. But I remind you, there is no special reminder on Senior Brother Liu's jade plaque. According to the rules, you are only allowed to enter the inner gate. You can stay for two hours, and don’t enter anywhere else except Xianling Pavilion. If you break the rules and get caught, don’t blame me for not warning you. "

She said something, Chang Peiwu agreed, and Shi Qi stood aside, silent from beginning to end.

The female disciple felt that Shi Qi was strange. She scanned it with her spiritual consciousness and found that it was only the fifth level of Qi Refining. She didn't care and cast a magic spell. A mysterious light flashed from the boundary tower, revealing a huge formation.

Chang Peiwu thanked the two of them and pulled Shi Qi into the formation platform. Shi Feng saw that the formation platform was shining brightly, and more than ten teleportation platforms of different sizes were arranged, obviously leading to different places. So complicated, it is worthy of being a sect famous for its talisman array.

Chang Peiwu saw Shi Qi looking like a countryman coming into the city, and tugged on his sleeve, "Young shopkeeper, stop looking, follow me closely, don't get lost. This is the inner gate, if you go the wrong way , being caught by the elders of the sect will not bring good results. "

Shi Qi nodded repeatedly.

Chang Peiwu pulled Shi Qi into the third teleportation formation on the left, and then with a strike, the two figures blurred and disappeared.

Shi Qi felt that the scenery in front of him changed and he had arrived at a pavilion.

Chang Peiwu touched his head and muttered, "The sect's teleportation array is so fast that it makes people dizzy. It doesn't even consider the lives of low-level disciples like us."

The two of them came out of the pavilion. They saw rockery and green trees in front of them, and the scenery was quite quiet. Chang Peiwu was familiar with the path and led Shi Qi all the way to a small three-story attic.

The two entered the attic, and Chang Peiwu ordered, "You wait here first, and I'll go and answer the question."

Shi Qi nodded and stood there honestly while Chang Peiwu went straight to the second floor.

There was not much time, so Chang Peiwu came down and said, "Brother, Senior Brother Liu asked you to come up."

Shi Qi hummed and walked a few steps. When he saw Chang Peiwu motionless, he asked, "What about you?"

"Senior Brother just asked you to go up. I'll wait for you here."

Shi Qi nodded and stepped up the steps.

On the second floor is a monastery, which is spotlessly decorated. Behind a jade table sits a young man, about thirty years old, with broad eyebrows.

Shi Qi's spiritual consciousness swept through and realized that this person was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, the Great Perfection, and could build the foundation at any time. Moreover, this person has a sinister aura and should be practicing some kind of secret technique. This kind of person can still fight even against ordinary foundation-building monks.

Shi Qi bowed deeply, "I've met Senior Brother Liu!"

Senior Brother Liu was making tea and ignored Shi Qi. Shi Qi was a little at a loss for the moment.

It took a long time before Senior Brother Liu poured out a small cup of spiritual tea. The fragrance of the tea overflowed for a while. He did not give Shi Feng a cup. He just took a sip and then smiled slightly, "Junior Brother Shi is here. I have prepared this spiritual tea." The process requires concentration and calmness. Don’t be careless. If you are lazy, please sit down.”

Shi Qi said "Oh" and sat down at the bottom. In fact, the outer sect disciples are not at all equal to the inner sect disciples, not to mention that one is a leader among the inner sect's Qi refining disciples, while the other is an unqualified disciple at the fifth level of the outer sect's Qi refining.

If it were Chang Peiwu, he would naturally keep saying, "There is no place for a younger brother in front of a senior brother. The younger brother can just stand and answer."

When Senior Brother Liu saw Shi Qizhen sitting down with a smile on his face, there was a hint of sarcasm on his lips, but it quickly disappeared and he asked, "I heard that Junior Brother Shi is quite talented in talismans. He made a second-level talisman within a year of starting." , I wonder if it’s true?”

Shi Qi replied, "Yes."

Senior Brother Liu picked up a talisman seal on the desk, "Chang Peiwu showed it to me and said it was written by Junior Brother Shi. However, I have always been more truthful and want to see it to believe it."

He pointed to a stone table next to him with his right hand and said, "There are talisman papers, talisman pens, and spiritual blood there. Can Junior Brother Shi please make another Fire Snake Talisman now?"

"As ordered." Shi Feng stood up and went to the stone table on the right, sat down cross-legged, spread out the talisman paper, dipped his pen in the spiritual blood, mixed the magic power, and began to draw.

He has become extremely skilled in making this Fire Snake Talisman, and it can be said that he is sure of it. The only difference is whether it comes out as a low-grade one or a middle-grade one.

Senior Brother Liu didn't get up to watch, he was still minding his own business brewing the spiritual tea.

Shi Qi didn't look at him at all, as if he was in his own room, minding his own painting of magic talismans. After Senior Brother Liu drank seven cups of spiritual tea, Shi Qi put down his pen and said, "It's done."

Senior Brother Liu stood up, raised his hand, and the talisman on Shi Qi's desk flew up and landed in his hand.

With a touch of his right hand, his magic power was activated, and the talisman immediately flashed with spiritual light and turned into a fiery snake winding and circling. It was indeed a middle-grade second-level spiritual talisman!
