Chapter 200 Second-order Talisman
Wang Hong refined these two hundred talisman papers into eighty first-grade top-grade talismans.
I feel that the success rate is still too low. He has no shortage of first-order talisman paper materials, but he does not have many second-order talisman paper materials. One waste is one less.
He then made another thousand pieces of top-grade talisman paper. After using up the thousand pieces of talisman paper, his success rate had reached 70%.
This is already a high success rate among talisman makers, but he is not satisfied.
He refined another 2,000 pieces of talisman paper this time, all of which were made into talismans. His success rate of making first-grade top-grade talismans finally reached 90%.
At this time, the three-month deadline has arrived, and the craftsman of Qianqiao Pavilion lived up to expectations, and helped him refine a talisman pen for a middle-grade spiritual weapon.
After these three months, the buildings in the boundary city have been constructed.
It's just that the construction of the city wall will take a long time. After all, building the city wall is a huge project, and the manpower and material resources required are incalculable.
After the completion of the Qingxu Building, Wang Hong was allocated an independent house with a better scale and grade than the original one.
The treasurer of Qingxu Building, Wu Dayong, after breaking out with Wang Hong last time, the relationship between the two has become much closer than before. Within the scope of his authority, it is natural to give Wang Hong more convenience.
Wang Hong sat at his home, playing with the talisman pen in his hand. The nib of this pen was clean and flawless, and there were still golden spots on the green pen barrel.
After getting the talisman pen, he can start refining the second-order talisman.
Not all the second-tier monster skins he peeled off were suitable for refining talisman papers, so he selected six pieces of animal skins about a foot in size.
He first picked up a piece of animal skin, and then refined it with spiritual fire. After removing all the impurities in it, only a palm-sized piece remained.
Using the same method, the remaining five pieces were refined into talisman paper.
The next step is to prepare the spirit ink and refine the second-order talisman. The spirit ink needed is not ordinary. He started collecting it a long time ago, but he also collected some of it.
He first took out a small bottle, poured some monster blood essence from it on the inkstone, and then took out a small piece of thumb-sized spiritual ink, gently ground it on the inkstone, and blended it with the monster blood.
Then he spread the talisman paper on the table, pressed it down with a paperweight, and dipped the talisman pen into the spirit ink.
The number of runes contained in the second-order talisman is at least one hundred, which is several times more complicated than that of the first-order talisman.
The first-grade high-grade talismans he refined before contained only forty or fifty runes at most.
The Fire and Rain Talisman he is going to refine now contains a total of 128 runes.
Starting from the head of the talisman, to the belly of the talisman, the gallbladder of the talisman, and the foot of the talisman must be completed in one go, and any slight mistake in one stroke will waste all previous efforts.
In the previous preparatory stage, he has drawn countless times on ordinary paper, and he has already mastered it.
Wang Hong picked up the pen, took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to draw on the talisman paper.
While drawing, it is also necessary to control the amount of mana input. While drawing runes one after another, it is also necessary to make the mana flow freely on it. The speed of the brush needs to be consistent with the speed of the mana flow on it.
Although he was very careful, the refining of the first second-order talisman still failed.
He sat quietly and thought for a while before remaking the second talisman.
After he used up all six second-level talisman papers, he got a total of two second-level fire and rain talismans.
Wang Hong finished making talismans and put away all the tools. In a short time, he no longer had second-order talisman paper to make talismans.
He needs to refine these pills as soon as possible, which is not difficult for him.
In just a few days, he completed all the alchemy tasks accumulated in the past few months.
After finishing his busy work, he walked out of the secret room, put away the few messenger symbols floating by the door, and checked them one by one.
Most of the contents of the summons are visits. He has been in Jin'an City for more than a year, and naturally there are some monks he is familiar with, and they will visit each other occasionally.
Since cultivators often need to practice or do other things, it is inconvenient to disturb at any time.
Therefore, before visiting, monks above Foundation Establishment will send a message talisman in advance, and will not visit until they get a reply.
As for Qi training monks, it’s not that they are not polite, but they are poor!
The spiritual stones that monks who practice Qi earn for a month may not be able to buy a messenger talisman, which prevents them from developing this good habit.
One of these messenger talismans was sent by Ling Shuai who had returned to Boundary City together before, saying that he was asking for something.
Wang Hong had a good impression of this person, so he returned two summoning symbols to him.
Only a quarter of an hour later, Ling Shuai rushed over with a baby in his arms.
After Ling Shuai entered the door, he simply greeted Wang Hong and said:
"Please save my life, Fellow Daoist Wang!"
"Why did Fellow Daoist Ling say that?" Wang Hong asked.
"I beg Daoist Wang to help me see the baby's condition and give me a helping hand."
Speaking, Ling Shuai opened the swaddle a little bit, and put it in front of Wang Hong.
Wang Hong had also heard about this baby, and he knew that it was not easy for him to survive.
Wang Hong inspected it carefully with his spiritual sense, and found that the baby girl's vitality was extremely weak, and there was a danger of her vitality dissipating and dying at any time.
"Ah! Originally born with a deficiency, the vitality is weak, and in addition to not receiving good care during this period of time, there is a risk of the vitality dissipating at any time."
The last time Wang Hong returned to Boundary City together, he had observed it and knew that the baby girl was congenitally deficient and her vitality was weak, but she was much stronger than now.
Ling Shuai was also very helpless during this period. At first, he fed the can of thick soup that Zhang Chunfeng gave him, and the baby's condition improved slightly.
But after the can of thick soup was fed to the baby girl, he went to Zhang Chunfeng again, hoping to buy some of this kind of thick soup.
Zhang Chunfeng told him that he only had one can of that thick soup, and it was gone after he finished drinking it, and he was unwilling to tell him the origin of that can of thick soup.
No way, he can only seek advice from some alchemists and spiritual food masters, but the elixirs prescribed are either rare treasures or have no effect.
He thought of many ways to do this, and begged many people, but he still could only watch the baby in his arms getting worse day by day.
Today he went to look for Zhang Chunfeng again, and Zhang Chunfeng saw the little baby dying.
He couldn't bear it, so he told him that maybe he could try it with Wang Hong, and then he didn't want to say more.
Ling Shuai came to find Wang Hong with the feeling of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Then he also told Wang Hong about the process of seeking medical treatment during this period, as well as various treatment options.
Based on what Ling Shuai told him and his own observations, Wang Hong felt that the baby girl should be saved.
