Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 2 Attempt to Make Characters
Lu Zhong first picked out the wick to brighten the flame.

Then he took out the set of talisman-making tools and placed them on the square table that was wiped clean with a rag.

Due to the limitation of money, the set of talisman-making tools left by the original body is very simple.

The barrel of the Talisman Pen is made of ordinary spirit bamboo, and the scraps are used. The material of the brush tip is also very shabby, which is the variegated tail hair of the spirit mouse.

Fu Mo is still the worst kind. According to memory, it uses the pig blood of mud-shell spirit pigs. This kind of spirit pigs are commonly bred in the cultivation world. The quality of the spirit blood they produce is extremely poor, but it can barely be used Make runes.

Looking at this set of rudimentary talisman-making tools, Lu Zhong thought to himself that it is no wonder that the previous talisman making failed repeatedly, and it is really difficult to use these tattered talismans... Well, now it is time to make it difficult for yourself.

"I want to learn how to make talismans without spirit stones, isn't it just making things difficult for myself?"

He sighed helplessly. In order to make up the rent and not be kicked out, he could only bite the bullet and learn how to make talismans.

In order to save the talisman paper, Lu Zhong was not willing to use the precious talisman paper to practice his hands at first, but chose to dip the talisman pen in water and start practicing on the square table.

Knowing the correct steps to draw a cleaning talisman is not enough. To draw a cleaning talisman, Lu Zhong still has a hurdle to overcome, that is, to draw the shape of the talisman accurately, which requires hand-eye coordination just like painting .

After trying dozens of times in a row, all he drew were ghost symbols, not quite as accurate as cleaning symbols.

Rubbing his astringent eyes, Lu Zhong had no choice but to give up his plan to practice.

Characters cannot be learned in a short while.

"Oh, poor!"

He sighed heavily and blew out the oil lamp.

Perhaps it was because of excessive consumption of consciousness, he was so tired that he just lay down on the bed, and fell asleep like this.

……

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Lu Zhong woke up in a coma.

Looking at everything unfamiliar around him, his head is still a little confused.

Until now, he still finds it hard to believe that he just crossed over like this.

"Hey, what am I doing?"

Lu Zhong was surprised to find that he did not know why he was sitting cross-legged.

It was only after a while that I realized that I was subconsciously running the "breathing and exhalation method". This is a small method for entering the Tao. road.

Once the air is successfully introduced into the body, the effect of running this method will be very little.

After running this method for a small week, my mind became clearer.

Even his cultivation increased by such a small amount, which made Lu Zhong feel pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly continued to run the formula.After running for more than ten small cycles in a row, his body has returned to normal state, which made him sigh the magic of "Cultivating Immortal Technique".

But if he wanted to continue practicing, he found that the meridians were already aching.

"Okay, I almost forgot that I am a four spirit root." Lu Zhong sighed helplessly.

Restricted by the strength of the meridians, the number of times a monk can exercise daily is limited, so the importance of aptitude is highlighted. The conversion rate of aura with good spiritual root aptitude is higher than that of poor aptitude, and the speed of cultivation will naturally be faster There is a lot of progress, and there is a huge gap after a long time.

It is not impossible to make up for this gap.

Spiritual land, pills, exercises, etc., can all narrow the gap in aptitude.

It's a pity that Lu Zhong is just a small casual cultivator, and he doesn't have a single spirit stone in his hand, so how can he get cultivation resources?

Among other things, the current him doesn't even have a suitable basic exercise.

He couldn't help but sighed again. Lu Zhong couldn't remember how many times he had sighed recently, but he got up from the bed. He picked up the talisman pen and prepared to continue practicing talisman making, so that he could master the cleaning talisman as soon as possible.

"Rent, basic exercises, and..."

Before I drew a few strokes, my stomach was already rumbling.

"It's really poor people cultivating immortals, and every step is difficult!" Lu Zhong had been tortured until he lost his temper. He simply put down the talisman pen in his hand, took a scoop of Fanmi, and poured it into the black lacquered iron pot.

"Clap!"

With a snap of his fingers, a flame ignited at the fingertips.

Then with a flick of the finger, the flame fell into the stove and went out...it went out!
After careful inspection, it turned out that there was water in the stove.

Lu Zhong was expressionless at the moment, and patiently cleaned the hearth before lighting the fire.

There was still some time before the meal was cooked, and he was not in the mood to practice making talismans, so he pushed open the door.

Outside, it's still dark.

The air in early spring is still fresh, with a faint smell of earth after the rain.

Crouching on the mossy threshold, he began to remember where he was.

According to memory, this is a small market called "Green Willow Market". It is so small that it doesn't even have a defensive magic circle. There is only a spirit lock array to prevent the spirit energy from escaping. The function is to collect the spirit energy emitted by the spirit veins here. stand up.

As a market, Qingliu Market covers an area of ​​about [-] mu. It is traversed by an east-west street. There are old and new buildings of uneven heights scattered on the north and south sides, and a large number of scattered cultivators live here.

Most of the casual cultivators are engaged in planting. There are low-grade spiritual rice and perennial talisman grasses that are sold for money. They are basically eating in the soil.But there are also a small number of people who will go to the nearby deep mountains to collect herbs. Collecting herbs in the deep mountains is a high-income and high-risk job. If they encounter monsters in the mountains, they may not be able to return.

Fortunately, Qingliu Ruins is owned by the nearby Qingyangmen. This is a fairly reasonable Taoist sect. After all, it still needs to be shameless in doing things, so it is more suitable for casual cultivators to live here.

The original body may have chosen to settle here because of this.

"Glenn!"

The wheels rolled on the bluestone road, making a dull sound.

These are mortal Yexiang women, they are all hired by Qingyangmen to clean up all kinds of dirt here.

They are currently loading wooden barrels full of feces into the car, and are going to pull them away from the market for disposal. The toilet barrels will also be carefully scrubbed downstream, and then returned to the original owner's house according to the mark.

When Ye Xiangfu walked to the door of Lu Zhong's house, she didn't laugh at his shabby house. Instead, she became more respectful in her demeanor and kept pushing the cart with her head down, fearing that the high-ranking immortal master would take revenge on her.

After another period of time, the whole alley became lively until the sky turned pale.

Some people went out with a sad face, carrying a small old medicine hoe, and carrying a medicine basket on their backs, preparing to go into the mountains to collect herbs; Listening to ditties in the warm house, enjoying delicious meals cooked by mortal servants.

Occasionally, a light flashes across the sky, but it is unknown which important person is in a hurry.

Lu Zhong watched all this curiously, many things in this world were so novel to him.

It wasn't until the burning smell came that he suddenly woke up.

After a hasty breakfast, Lu Zhong, who was full, continued to practice making talismans.

After a whole day of hard work and practice, he had a lot of drawing experience in his previous life, but he was able to draw the shape accurately, and he was one step closer to successfully drawing the cleaning talisman.

When dusk was approaching, Lu Zhong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and took out the can of talisman ink and a piece of intact talisman paper.

The pen is like a dragon, and quickly outlines every stroke of the cleaning talisman on the yellow talisman paper.

All the tricks about drawing this talisman in my mind emerged very clearly at this moment.

The whole Dao talisman is done in one go, without any hindrance.

"It's done!"

Seeing the light on the talisman paper gradually disappearing, Lu Zhong couldn't help picking it up and looking left and right, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect that I had an epiphany, otherwise I would have to draw this talisman. It will take half a month!"

Recalling the feeling of drawing talismans just now, he took out a blank talisman paper again, dipped some talisman ink with a fluffy talisman pen, and the spiritual power was smoothly transmitted to the talisman paper through the tip of the pen, and began to try to continue making talismans.

One stroke, two strokes, it is about to be completed...

"puff!"

The talisman making failed, and the talisman paper spontaneously ignited due to the disorder of aura.

Lu Zhong was not discouraged, took out a blank talisman paper again, and chose to continue trying.

One, two, three...

After three consecutive failures, he finally succeeded again.

After all the blank talisman sheets were exhausted, Lu Zhong got three successfully drawn cleaning talismans.

He happily put them away, wrapped them in oiled paper and put them under the pillow. Lu Zhong, who had done all this carefully, covered them with the quilt that hadn't dried yet and prepared to fall asleep.

"Tomorrow is the day when the market opens, so you can sell the talismans."
