The ancestor of talismans

On the last day of the month, Xu Changshou refined two spirit-gathering pills. Although he was still some distance away from breaking through the eleventh level of Qi Refining, his cultivation had improved somewhat.

In the evening, Ye Shanhu came.

Xu Changshou gave Ye Shanhu the wind-running talisman that he had prepared long ago.

The transaction between him and Ye Shanhu was settled once a month. If one of them did not have time to settle, the wind-running talisman would be accumulated until the next month for settlement.

In the past two months, although Xu Changshou was not there, he made up for the wind-running talismans owed to her.

The next day, the first day of the lunar month, Xu Changshou completed the task and Li Linger came.

The two met in a hurry, and Li Linger returned to Taiyi Peak. She was now practicing with Leng Mei, who was very strict with her and only let her rest for one day every three months.

What surprised Xu Changshou was that in just two months, Li Linger's cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

This speed was a bit demonic.

After the rest day, Xu Changshou did not retreat, but waited, waiting for his spirit pen to be refined.

After waiting for another day, Su Mo came.

"Uncle Xu, your spirit pen is ready. Uncle Bai asked you to get it."

"Finally, it's ready. Let's go!"

The two left Green Ink Peak and quickly rushed to Bai Tongyuan's dojo.

Su Mo was waiting outside the door, and Xu Changshou walked in directly.

"Disciple Xu Changshou, meet Uncle Bai."

"No need to be polite, Changshou, the 9-moon rhinoceros horn pen you wanted is ready. Come and have a look. Are you satisfied?"

Bai Tongyuan handed over an exquisite wooden box. The wooden box was opened, and a crystal-like white pen holder lay quietly inside.

Next to the pen holder, there were three pen refills made from yellow-skinned wolf hair.

Bai Tongyuan smiled and said, "Yellow-skinned wolf hair is easy to damage, so I refined a few more and designed the pen holder and pen refill to be separated, so that it will be easier for you to replace the pen refill in the future."

Xu Changshou took out the pen holder and pen refill, put them together, and twisted them gently, and the pen holder and pen refill became one.

Twist it the other way, and the pen refill will fall off again.

This design is quite clever.

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

Xu Changshou put away the spirit pen and smiled and praised: "Uncle Bai's refining skills are really the best. I admire him."

"Haha!"

Bai Tongyuan smiled without saying anything, feeling very comfortable with this flattery.

"Uncle Bai, here are fifty spirit stones, please count."

Xu Changshou took out a low-level storage bag and handed it to Bai Tongyuan. The latter took a look and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, kid, if you want to refine anything in the future, come to me directly."

"Thank you, Uncle Bai, I'll take my leave!"

"Go!"

...

After leaving Bai Tongyuan's dojo, Su Mo came out and asked nervously: "How is it?"

"It's done. Uncle Bai's spirit pen is better than I thought."

"That's good, that's good, then I'm relieved."

Su Mo was completely relieved.

"By the way, Junior Brother Su, this is for you."

Xu Changshou threw a white jade bottle to Su Mo.

"What is this?"

Su Mo opened the white jade bottle and took a look, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Break Barrier Pill."

That's right, before Xu Changshou went to Huosang Country, he bought two Barrier Breaking Pills, intending to use them to break through the bottleneck of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

As a result, because he took over Li Xiaoming's body, he automatically broke through the bottleneck, and the two Barrier Breaking Pills were not used.

"No, no!"

Su Mo waved his hands repeatedly, one Barrier Breaking Pill cost three spirit stones, and two pills cost six spirit stones.

For a menial disciple, this is a considerable fortune.

"Junior Brother Su, just take it. I have already reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, and I can't use the Barrier Breaking Pill. It's useless to me. I said that I would give you a big reward if you refine the Spiritual Pen. I can't go back on my word."

"But, this is too expensive..."

"Hehe!"

Xu Changshou smiled and said, "Junior Brother Su, let's do this. I'll lend it to you. When you build your foundation, you can return it to me double."

Xu Changshou is not a pushover. The reason why he is willing to help Su Mo is because he comes from a poor family.

I was caught in the rain when I was a child, so I want to hold an umbrella for others when I grow up.

You know, at Chu Xiufeng, only he and Su Mo had no money to buy the Barrier Breaking Pill. If he hadn't opened the Bloodline Jade Talisman, I'm afraid he would not be as good as Su Mo now.

In addition, these people who came out of their Gengzi Academy have changed more or less, except Su Mo, who is still as naive as he was back then.

"Yes!"

Su Mo no longer refused, put away the barrier-breaking pill, and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xu, I will definitely build a foundation. When I become a great cultivator of foundation building, I will repay you tenfold for what I owe you."

"That's good enough. Practice well. I'm leaving. Goodbye!"

Xu Changshou patted Su Mo's shoulder and left in style.

After getting the spirit pen, Xu Changshou returned to his courtyard, drew three thunderstorm talismans, and then sealed the pen and prepared to go into seclusion.

This time, he wanted to break through with all his strength.

Time passed, and two years passed in a blink of an eye.

In these two years, Xu Changshou spent all his time in seclusion except for one day off on the first day of the new year.

One day, late at night.

Boom——

Xu Changshou suddenly felt that an important checkpoint in his body was broken, and the rich spiritual energy flowed through his meridians like a big river.

At this moment, the fatigue of two years was swept away. Xu Changshou looked inward and saw that the cyclone at his dantian had become as big as a bowl.

Walking out of the room, Xu Changshou took a deep breath and looked up at the starry sky.

This year, Xu Changshou was 24 years old.

"I finally broke through to the eleventh level of Qi Refining."

...

It took Xu Changshou two years and three months from seclusion to breakthrough.

In the meantime, he took time to go to the Wanxian Market twice to deliver talismans to the Wanxian Pavilion.

In the past two years, after deducting expenses, Xu Changshou's spiritual stones have accumulated to more than 2,400.

Next, it is to draw talismans.

The talismans used to hand in tasks have been used up. Now that his cultivation level is the eleventh level of Qi Refining, he has to hand in more tasks, 420 wind-traveling talismans per month, and a monthly salary of three spiritual stones.

"Draw talismans!"

Xu Changshou took out a lot of leather and cut it into pieces with a sword.

In the past two years, he rarely drew talismans. Except for the talismans for Ye Shanhu and Wanxian Pavilion, he basically didn't draw other talismans.

The flying talismans and earth-gang talismans that Wanxian Pavilion wanted, he stored 100 pieces of materials for each of these two talismans, enough to sell for 20 years, but he hasn't drawn all of them yet, and he will draw them all this time.

This time, Xu Changshou planned to draw all the thunderstorm talismans. In addition, he also drew all the skins he bought last time into various talismans.

It took Xu Changshou a whole month to draw all the talismans.

After breaking through the eleventh level of Qi Refining, Xu Changshou's speed of drawing talismans also increased. He could easily draw forty or fifty talismans a day.

Two hundred and forty thunderstorm talismans.

One hundred and eight flying talismans.

One hundred and sixty-eight earth talismans.

Other animal skin talismans, ranging from thirty to forty to a dozen or so, were all drawn.
