There is no time in the mountains, and it is midsummer in a blink of an eye.

This month Wu Ming has been learning to make talismans and refine magic weapons from Taoist Master Qi. He was shocked to find that there was a certain connection between the three things: magic, talismans and refine weapons.

"After talking so much, let's try it today." Taoist Master Qi said to his disciple with a smile. He took out a lot of items, cinnabar, talisman pen, spiritual ink, Taoist yellow paper, etc.

Then the Taoist said, "I will provide these things for free today. You must prepare them yourself in the future. They are the ones we eat."

Wu Ming held the talisman pen, took a deep breath, and first visualized the sun magic in his mind. A golden sun rose in the dark, and the sun in the sky also drooped a trace of golden mist.

He immediately held the talisman pen in his hand, lightly tapped the cinnabar, and drew the sun-shaped core talisman on the yellow paper.

What is a talisman?

There are patterns in the world. Taoists observe the heaven and earth, observe the great road, and realize all kinds of magical wonders such as thunder, lightning, wind and rain. Finally, they copy them into texts, can be recorded in their minds, written on paper, and refined into objects... They will begin to have magic, talismans, magic tools and other objects.

Therefore, the prerequisite for making talismans and refining weapons is to learn the corresponding spells. The three are closely related and can be understood by analogy.

This is how the talismans circulating in the world come from. In the extraordinary man, talismans represent convenient life and productivity. Taoists who master this technology are the first driving force for productivity.

The red patterns slowly emerged on the yellow paper, outlining a complex pattern. When Wu Ming stopped writing, a ball of red light burst out from the talisman paper.

"Success!" He was delighted. There was a possibility of failure in describing talismans at the level of Taoist disciples, after all, sometimes he would make mistakes.

Master Qi glanced at the talisman that was not at all magical and nodded: "No, you can sell it for money."

Talismans that have not been charged are actually not worth much. The cinnabar and talisman pen used are all ordinary things, just earning personal labor costs. However, Wu Ming can inject spirituality into the visualization map and make it a spiritual object, which is valuable.

But the same thing is true: drawing talismans appropriately is conducive to practicing and enlightenment. If you put the focus on it, it will be more than worth the loss.

"The essence of magic weapons is the same as talismans, but you also have to specialize in metallurgical technology, integrate materials and talismans to achieve a perfect balance. Each magic weapon is composed of several runes arranged in a formation, which is permanent." Master Qi taught.

Wu Ming listened carefully. He can only describe a few types of talismans, the "Nanlu Talisman" corresponding to the Creation True Method, "Guiyuan Talisman", and the Taiyin Talisman and the Sun Talisman corresponding to the two micro-intellectual arts. These two talismans are the main products of Laoshan, with good quality, large capacity and long durability.

"Okay, I have already taught what I should teach. You have to walk the future path yourself, don't come to me in the future." Master Qi stopped impatiently.

After saying that, the old Taoist set up clouds and mist and flew to somewhere.

Wu Ming respectfully thanked him: "Ziwu remembers the kindness of Taoist Master's teachings to Taoism in his heart."

After standing for a while, he left the top of the mountain and silently considered what he was missing.

"Making talismans requires more practice, such as talisman pen, spiritual ink, and Taoist yellow paper. You have to prepare for the alchemy. The accumulated things you have accumulated before are almost consumed, but fortunately, they can all be bought through ordinary money. What is troublesome is magic and the resources for promotion."

Wu Ming thought about it and decided to ask Bai Kui where to buy the materials?

He took out a piece of talisman paper, wrote down the problem, and then folded it into a bird-like shape, and injected the Taoist marks. The bird's pupils, which were pointed out by two strokes of ink, suddenly flashed, and turned spinning, extremely agile. It suddenly broke free from his palm, soared up, and sank into the sky.

"It's so magical." Wu Ming sighed, but unfortunately this method is not safe enough. He can barely deal with the birds in nature, but it is easy to be intercepted by extraordinary people.

There are many powerful communication spells in the future, but now the apprentice level is not demanding anything.

What he didn't expect was that Bai Kui's reply was very fast.

Wu Ming had just arrived home, and a paper bird with the same style was sank into the window, flying around happily. He stretched out his hand, and the paper bird seemed to have lost its motivation and fell in his palm. When he opened the envelope, he saw Bai Kui bluntly said that he had time now and asked him to come to the foot of the "Qinzhuo Peak" to meet up quickly.

There was no way, Wu Ming had not yet sat in his butt, so he hurried to the place mentioned in the letter.

Surprisingly, in addition to the tall and thin Bai Kui, there were several Taoist boys waiting.

"Brother Ziwu, you are here."

He walked over with a smile and introduced it to everyone in turn. Wu Ming also bowed and bowed one by one. It turned out that these were all elite Taoists, each with their own unique skills and wanted to go to [Ping'an Fang City] to trade.

"Ping'an Fang City was jointly carried out by more than a dozen nearby hills and only open at the specified time every day. Since ordinary Taoists have no capital output, someone needs to recommend it to enter the Fang City." Bai Kui explained intently.

"If it were other new disciples, I would definitely not agree, but Brother Wu has completed the three levels of Taoism in less than half a year of practicing Taoism, and his future is bright."

"Brother Wu has long admired his reputation and is worthy of being the candidate for the true teachings."

Several Taoist boys are all human spirits and keep complimenting.

"Let's go, chat later, otherwise I will miss the time." Bai Kui smiled and waved, led the way first, and gradually penetrated into the mountains and forests.

Laoshan is boundless and has a wide range of space inside. It is relatively sparsely populated and generally retains the ecological environment of the original forest, but it is not a problem for this group of monks.

Wu Ming saw Bai Kui turn left and right, floating around, and the surrounding environment becomes increasingly deep and narrow. He walked dozens of steps but suddenly realized.

A wide street appeared, Taoists sat on the ground, set up stalls and vendors. There were also formal construction stores in the distance, with many people coming and going, which was very lively.

"Be careful here. Some people inside are the families of some Taoist priests in the sect, and some shops are set up for [Shifang Jungle], with a scary background." Bai Kui reminded.

The so-called "Ten Directions Jungle" refers to the general term for positions within Taoism. In layman's terms, it is the elders and deacons, and is called according to their different common affairs.

When they entered, the few people dispersed and looked for what they needed.

Wu Ming was quite interested in wandering around. The coins circulated in the secular world of Han Dynasty were gold, silver and copper, and were minted by the official business. The style was exquisite, but they could only be used to purchase items that did not contain spirituality. When they reached the extraordinary level, they had to use talismans.

The talisman is a spiritual object, made from the Guiyuan talisman as the base, and is yellow all over. Taoist can restore spirituality by absorbing it. Going up, there is the fairy jade used by the real celestial immortals. Wu Ming is not very clear about the specific details. Anyway, these five currencies are collectively called [Five Emperors Money] by the public.

The exchange rate of the five types of currencies is not fixed. For example, when exchanged with silver and copper coins often fluctuates around 1:1,000, so White Emperor coins are mostly used for transactions by merchants, and Red Emperor coins made of gold are only given to the royal family for their merits, and most common people use Black Emperor coins.

During the wandering, Wu Ming took action one by one to buy some cinnabar, ginseng, lead and mercury, yellow paper and other items. Most of them were Black Emperor's money and White Emperor's money. Only the talisman pen and spells were not available, so he could only exchange them with elixirs.

After basically putting all the things used, Wu Ming said goodbye to his companions and went back with satisfaction.

After walking out of Ping'an Fang City, the road behind him disappeared. He couldn't help but admire the magic. Laoshan has a large formation, and in some places, unless the spiritual mark is recorded, they will never be able to walk in no matter how they go.

…………

After Wu Ming returned, he began to refine alchemy and make talismans for several consecutive days. In addition to replenishing his own inventory, he also sold it one after another to harvest some talisman money.

The spirituality contained in a Huangdi talisman is enough to support a fierce battle for the Taoist disciples, so its purchasing power is amazing, which is about seven or eight first-grade spiritual pills.

Finally, considering that practicing protective spells would drag down the progress of cultivation, Wu Ming chose to spend more than fifty talismans to buy a "magic weapon".

Then he had to go to the [Dao Court] to receive the task and go down the mountain to perform it.

Although he really wanted to build the system and then go out to accumulate merits, his quality spells and promotional resources could only be exchanged in the Taoist sect. In addition, there is also a mandatory regulation that each child in Laoshan will perform tasks at least once every six months.

There is also this reason why Wu Ming intends to use magic weapons to replace protective spells. Suitable Taoist techniques require merit exchange, but he does not. In order to ensure the safety of the task, he must protect the fragile body of the Taoist disciple. The vicious cycle is true.

Most Taoist disciples in Laoshan slowly accumulate initial primitive accumulation by drawing talismans, which also forces Wu Ming to use alchemy to seek capital.

There is no way, the practitioner is too omnipotent, and the inner scroll is serious. The only thing that wants to make a lot of profits by refining alchemy and making talismans is the fourth grade or above. This is the category of extraordinary second-level.

When you reach the level of Taoist priests who teach the talisman, the difficulty of extraordinary skills increases, and various gaps will be widened. Alchemy below the third grade is relatively simple. Even if you have never learned Taoist priests, you can still find it hard to use some secular money and time.

The difference between Wu Ming and ordinary Taoist disciples only omits the accumulation time and success rate. Of course, he has the best elixir below the third grade, Fulong Yuanyang Pill, but unfortunately he has no target customers.
