The ancestor of talismans

To refine the second-grade talisman, tougher materials are needed. You can use the skin of a spiritual beast or paper made from the wood of a thousand-year-old spiritual tree.

When using the skin of a spiritual beast, you must match the attributes of the spiritual beast and the talisman according to the various needs. Only when the attributes match can you draw the talisman.

For example, the thunderstorm talisman that Xu Changshou drew before can only be drawn with a spiritual beast with thunder attributes.

The spiritual beast mentioned here is not a low-level spiritual beast, but a spiritual beast that has refined the larynx and evolved into a monster.

Monsters are rare, and the skin of monsters is even rarer. The restrictions are too great, so the second-grade talismans are generally made of paper made from thousand-year-old spiritual wood.

Thousand-year-old spiritual wood is easier to get than spiritual beasts, but it is not easy to get.

At this age, the spiritual wood can generally be used as the main material for refining pseudo-magic tools, or as an auxiliary material for refining magic tools. Even some high-quality spiritual wood can be directly used as the main material for refining magic tools.

Thousand-year-old spiritual wood is sold by kilogram, and the price is not cheap.

However, due to the stable structure of the thousand-year-old spiritual wood, the paper produced can carry talismans of various attributes.

Such paper is basically suitable for any second-grade spiritual talismans, even second-grade thunderstorm talismans and stronger wood thunder talismans.

Wood thunder talismans have higher requirements for wood, and must be made of some tougher trees such as thousand-year-old Jianmu, thousand-year-old Huangzhongli, thousand-year-old red sandalwood, and thousand-year-old yew wood.

If you want to draw a second-grade spiritual talisman with thunder attributes, then you need higher-quality materials.

Xu Changshou looked at it and found that he had never heard of many materials. He didn't know if they existed.

However, Xu Changshou had heard of the material that could draw the strongest fire thunder talisman, which was the thousand-year-old thunder-struck wood.

Thousand-year-old spiritual wood is already extremely rare, let alone the thousand-year-old thunder-struck wood.

Imagine a spiritual wood that has grown for a thousand years and has just been struck by lightning. The scarcity of this spiritual wood can be imagined.

In addition, if you want to draw a second-grade talisman, you need more than just the mental method, the drawing method, and the paper made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood. You also need a magic pen of the magic weapon level. His white rhinoceros pen made of the horn of the moon-gazing rhinoceros is a pseudo-magic weapon and is no longer useful.

After reading the "Jade Talisman Heart Sutra" from beginning to end, Xu Changshou has a general direction for what he will do in the future.

Finding thousand-year-old spiritual wood to make paper is the most important thing to do in the future, and the matter of refining the magic pen must be implemented as soon as possible.

Xu Changshou roughly calculated that there are several very practical talismans in the foundation-building realm.

Mainly for three aspects, attack, defense, and escape.

Attack: sharp gold talisman, thunderstorm talisman, gold wind talisman, wood thunder talisman, fire thunder talisman.

There are many kinds of dual-attribute talismans that can be integrated with the thunder attribute, but the materials required are too difficult to make, so it is not necessary to draw every kind.

The materials needed for the attack of the wooden thunder talisman are easy to obtain. The attack power of this talisman is similar to that of other dual-attribute talismans containing thunder. With the wooden thunder talisman, there is no need to draw other talismans.

As the strongest dual-attribute thunder talisman, the fire thunder talisman must be drawn.

Defense: Earth Gang Talisman, Earth and Wood Talisman.

Escape: Flying Sword Talisman, Wind Talisman, Earth Escape Talisman, Water Control Talisman, Flying Talisman.

Among them, the fastest is the Flying Sword Talisman. When used, it is attached to the flying sword and can make the flying sword travel ten thousand miles a day.

Wind Talisman and Flying Talisman are slightly weaker, and the speed can reach eight thousand miles a day.

Earth Escape Talisman and Water Control Talisman each have their own functions.

In addition to these three major aspects, there are also some miscellaneous talismans such as Soul Calming Talisman, Illusion Breaking Talisman, Array Breaking Talisman, Corpse Breaking Talisman, etc., which must also be prepared.

There are more things to do after building the foundation. It is impossible to achieve it all at once. It must be done step by step.

Xu Changshou closed his eyes and silently practiced the "Dao Fu Jing".

After entering the foundation building stage, he absorbed spiritual energy at a speed many times faster than the Qi refining stage.

But at the same time, after entering the foundation building stage, the body can accommodate more spiritual energy. Compared with this, his speed of absorbing spiritual energy does not seem to be fast at all.

Xu Changshou has been in seclusion for more than two months, and sadly found that in a month, he absorbed very little spiritual energy.

At this rate, I don’t know when I can break through.

Calculating the time, I have been in seclusion for more than half a year.

The talisman he gave Yang Bailao gave a total of half a year of tasks. It is almost time to hand in the tasks. Xu Changshou has now broken through the foundation building stage, and the tasks of the Qi refining stage must not be handed in.

Even if he doesn’t have to hand it in, he has to tell Li Daitu that there is no need to keep his foundation building secret.

Xu Changshou came out of seclusion and removed the formation of the courtyard. Although he removed the formation, he did not go out. Soon, the time came to the end of the month.

One day.

Da da da!

Someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard.

"Who?"

"Brother Xu, it's me, Bailao."

Yang Bailao's voice came from outside. Yes, it was Yang Bailao.

"Come in!"

Xu Changshou's mind moved, and the gate opened automatically. Yang Bailao hurried into the yard.

"Brother Xu, I have handed in your mission talismans for the past six months. Now I don't have any talismans. I want to remind you that since you have come out of retreat, don't forget to hand in the mission." Yang Bailao came to Xu Changshou and said honestly.

"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Yang. I know. Come on, Brother Yang, have some tea!"

Xu Changshou smiled and invited Yang Bailao to have some tea.

Xu Changshou took out the tea set, and Yang Bailao naturally sat opposite Xu Changshou. After taking a look at Xu Changshou, Yang Bailao said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xu, your cultivation level has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. No matter how much you practice in seclusion, your realm will not improve. Why do you need to practice in seclusion? I tell you, your cultivation level has reached its limit. In the future, you should enjoy life more."

"Brother Yang, what you said makes sense."

Xu Changshou smiled and said: "I am in seclusion this time mainly to break through the foundation-building realm. Otherwise, I would not have ignored it for so long. Brother Yang, thank you for helping me complete the tasks in the past six months."

Yang Bailao frowned: "Brother Xu, I am not saying anything bad about you, you should be more pragmatic. We, the menial disciples, have worked for the sect for a hundred years. It is enough to be able to return to secular life smoothly. Don't even think about building a foundation..."

Yang Bailao said halfway and couldn't continue. He looked at Xu Changshou in disbelief.

At this time, he realized that Xu Changshou, who was opposite him, was no longer at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Yang Bailao couldn't see clearly what realm Xu Changshou was in at the moment, but he could feel that Xu Changshou at this moment gave people a feeling of the vast ocean.

Facing Xu Changshou at this moment, he felt like he was facing Li Daitu.

In addition to Li Daitu, other uncles in the foundation-building realm gave Yang Bailao the same feeling.

Could it be... Xu Changshou had built a foundation, this was impossible?

"Hiss... Senior Brother Xu, you, you, you..."

Thinking of this possibility, Yang Bailao took a breath.
