Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 55
After eating delicious pork offal porridge, Lu Zhong is going to try making talisman skins.

Tanning, drying, softening... step by step, all follow the steps in the "Seven Mysterious Talismans", each step is carried out according to the standard as much as possible, and the whole person is sweating profusely.

There were also some mistakes on the way, which led to the scrapping of a large piece of leather. Fortunately, he was preparing to make a talisman skin this time, so it doesn't matter if the animal skin is partially damaged.

"Phew, it's finally finished." Lu Zhong wiped off his sweat and looked at the animal skin in his hand with joy, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Next, it's time to peel and layer the hide.

Although the full-layer animal hide can be used as a refining tool to make clothes, it cannot be directly used as a direct rune skin. The whole animal hide needs to be divided into upper and lower layers.The characteristic of the upper skin is thin and flexible, so the produced rune skins are all high-quality products.The texture of the lower skin is harder and less flexible than the upper skin.

In the general sense, rune skins are actually made from the upper layer of skin.

The hide of monster beasts is very thick, so the lower layer of skin can often be peeled off several layers, mainly depending on the cutting technique.

Restricted by his own poor skinning skills, Lu Zhong spent a lot of effort to peel off the second layer of the steel hyena pig skin in his hand. There are two to three floors.

This is also the reason why Huang Shuyuan didn't take the initiative to make the fear bear skin directly into a talisman skin. In fact, once the number of lower layers of skin peeled off is less than expected, the loss caused will be too great for her to bear. Selling animal skins to buying shops is practical and saves worry and effort.

However, even though Lu Zhong felt distressed, he also knew that this was a skill that must be mastered in case of emergencies.

After the layering of the hide is completed, it is time to divide the hide.

The size of the talisman in the cultivation world is custom-made, the most commonly used is the long talisman paper with a width of two inches and a length of eight and a half inches.In addition, there are short talisman paper and large talisman paper, as well as other shapes and sizes, but they are rarely used.

What Lu Zhong has to do now is to follow the texture of the leather, while avoiding the natural scars and blood tendons on the surface of the leather, and at the same time divide the rune skin according to the standard size of the long rune paper.

Compared with the previous steps, this step seems to be very easy, but it directly determines the output of rune skins.

A good leathermaker can use the whole leather almost perfectly, and divide the largest number of rune skins with exquisite craftsmanship.

After some careful calculations, Lu Zhong divided the draft and drew several pieces before he could barely calculate a satisfactory result.

A lower layer of skin is divided, and the final number of rune skins produced is [-] pieces.

Although he was dissatisfied with this, there was nothing he could do about it.

After dividing the two lower skins, add up to get [-] rune skins, which is ninety-two spirit stones according to the market price.

When it was the turn of the first layer of skin, this time Lu Zhong could be said to have calculated and calculated, and almost tried his best.

The number of rune skins that can be divided is only three hundred and one.

There is no way around this, the upper layer of leather will have more flaws than the second layer of leather, and the number of talisman skins produced will naturally decrease, even if it is an experienced leathermaker.

The rune skin made of the first layer of skin is also called "spirit rune skin", and the success rate of using it to make runes is much higher than that of ordinary rune skins.

Therefore, the price of the talisman skin can be sold for [-] talismans each, fully doubled.

All in all, the value of the talisman skin obtained by Lu Zhong this time is over one hundred and fifty-two spirit stones.

At this price, it would be much lower to sell the steel hyena pigskin to the buying store, and the price difference is about [-] to [-] spirit stones.

In this regard, he is not dissatisfied.

Paying some price, you can get valuable practical experience, which is better than talking on paper all the time.

……

noon.

Looking at the exorcism talisman on the table that was gradually fading in brilliance, Lu Zhong was delighted.

He only tried to draw three times, but unexpectedly he succeeded once.Calculated in this way, the success rate of making talismans with talisman skin is obviously half to [-]% higher than that of paper talismans.

"As expected of a talisman skin, it can really increase the success rate of making talismans!" Lu Zhong thought to himself.

It's no wonder that high-level talismans are basically made of talisman skins, and very few use talisman paper.

"I just don't know if the success rate of making talismans with talisman leather will be higher?"

"Would you like to... try?"

Lu Zhongyue was eager to try it, but seeing that the time was only four o'clock in the noon, when the sun energy was at its fullest, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and pulled out a piece of talisman skin.

With a flurry of brushstrokes, an exorcism talisman was made in one go.

Although he knew that this was a fluke, and the success rate of making talismans with the improved talisman skin could not be so exaggerated, Lu Zhong was still surprised.

After the exorcism talisman was made, it began to absorb the free yang energy between the heaven and the earth. Compared with the finished talisman made of talisman paper before, the movement caused by it is obviously much larger now, and the amount of absorbed yang aura has increased significantly, which can be determined The power of the talisman will definitely increase as a result.

From this point of view, the talisman skin is really more advanced than the talisman paper.

Whether it is the transmission rate of aura, or the total amount of aura that can hold a talisman, the talisman skin almost always exceeds the talisman paper.

"It's just like this... How should the price of the exorcism talisman be?" Lu Zhong was a little distressed.

Using talisman leather to make talismans will certainly increase the success rate of talisman making and partially enhance the power of talismans, but the cost for this will also be several times higher than using talisman paper.

"It's useless to think too much, it's better to inquire about it."

Considering his status as a talisman maker, it is naturally not easy to go directly to the talisman store to inquire about the price, so Lu Zhong had to spend a dozen or so talisman money to hire someone and entrust the other party to inquire on his behalf.

When he got the result, he was both surprised and delighted!
Surprisingly, the price of this kind of powerful exorcism talisman made of talisman skin is actually a piece of two spirit stones in those black-hearted talisman stores in Fangshi.

This price was completely beyond Lu Zhong's expectations. Originally, he only planned to increase the price by [-] to [-]% to even out the cost of the talisman skin.

But I never thought that those talisman shops would directly double the price.

"Okay, okay!" Lu Zhong almost laughed.

Since the store sells one piece of two spirit stones, he can sell two pieces of three spirit stones.

In this way, it is estimated that there will be no market.

Loose cultivators are always sensitive to prices, and it is impossible for them not to buy the same kind of cheap exorcism talismans, but to buy the high-priced unscrupulous products in the store. They have always been very careful.

"As for the exorcism talisman made from the skin of the talisman, I still keep it for myself."

Lu Zhong decided to keep the good things for his own use, and planned to use the talisman skin to make a batch of powerful talismans for use in his trip to Yanlingshanfang City later.

Not to mention that the road from Qingliufang to Yanlingshanfang City is difficult and dangerous, there are also a lot of evil cultivators entrenched on the road. Even if he has already contacted a caravan, he may not be able to reach Yanlingshanfang City safely. There might be some trouble.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare some powerful talismans.
