Longevity begins with Zongmen handyman

Chapter 53 Making a Second-Order Talisman
Having not seen her for more than ten years, Gu Hong is even more glamorous, with a beauty mole on the center of her eyebrows that is very charming.

"Gu Daoyou, after a long absence, don't come here without any problems!"

Seeing Gu Hong, Li An showed a warm smile, "Please hurry up, let's talk in the hall!"

But he was thinking in his heart, Gu Hong must have something important to come here.

Entering the inner hall, Li An poured a cup of tea for Gu Hong, and the two exchanged some polite words.

"Li Daoyou, I am here this time because I have something to ask for your help."

Gu Hong finally spoke.

"Please say."

"I would like to ask you to help me refine the soul-suppressing talisman and the thunder-shocking talisman!"

Hearing this, Li An was suddenly surprised, with a look of embarrassment on his face and said:
"Gu Daoyou, you think highly of Li. The soul-suppressing talisman and the thunder talisman are both treasures in the second-order talisman. Li's current talisman level can only draw the first-level top-grade talisman."

"I know. But in this matter, besides Li Daoyou, Gu Hong really has no other people he can trust."

Gu Hong said calmly, "Li Daoyou, can you try your best to help? Don't worry, I will provide all the materials. You just need to help me make the talisman with peace of mind."

"Besides, Gu Hong is not in a hurry. How about a year? Within a year, as long as he can draw two soul-suppressing talismans and thunder-shocking talismans, that's enough."

"In addition, as long as Li Daoyou is willing to help, this set of incomplete second-order talisman inheritance will belong to Li Daoyou."

She took out a yellowed talisman book!

In her opinion, Li An did not have a second-order talisman inheritance, so it was natural to learn how to draw two talismans from this talisman book.

Ang Lee thought about it.

Both the soul-suppressing talisman and the thunder-shocking talisman are special. The soul-suppressing talisman is used to guard one's own soul and avoid being corrupted by evil spirits.

The thunderbolt is used to attack the consciousness.

But even though Gu Hong is already a cultivator at the foundation-building stage, and has condensed divine consciousness, at this level, the divine consciousness is still limited to detection and perception, and can hardly be used for combat.

Shouldn't she be using it against people?

That is... a spirit beast?
"Could it be the soul beast?"

A thought flashed in his mind, Yuanhun Beast is a second-order monster, and its crystal core can be used to refine "Xiao Huan Dan", which can prolong the lifespan of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage by tens or even hundreds of years!
The most powerful elemental soul beast is its soul power. Ordinary foundation-building practitioners can't resist its soul attack at all, and often only masters of alchemy can kill it.

However, the small redemption pill refined from the crystal nucleus of the soul beast has little effect on the alchemy masters, so the alchemy masters seldom make shots.

In his previous life, Li An had also searched for various ways to continue his life, so he knew these things clearly.

But Gu Hong has just broken through the foundation-building period, and she doesn't lack lifespan...

"To tell you the truth, fellow Daoist Li, my master fought with others half a year ago, which resulted in the loss of life essence and soul, and the life essence is almost exhausted. Therefore, I must find the crystal core of the soul beast and refine the small return pill."

And Gu Hong said directly: "This matter is very top secret. If I buy and refine two kinds of talismans elsewhere, it will be easy for the enemies to know my master's current situation. Therefore, I can only find someone I can trust."

Li An couldn't help but nodded, but at the same time couldn't help but smile helplessly, Gu Hong told himself the top secret, so is there any room for him not to agree?

And the main thing is that he has long wanted to try to make a second-order talisman. Now that Gu Hong has come to the door, it is a good thing that he can provide the corresponding consumables.

As for the inheritance of incomplete second-order talismans, although he does not lack them, they can be sold in the future, which is worth a lot.

"You can give it a try, but in addition to the preparation of the talisman pen and talisman paper, at least a few conditions must be met,"

Li An considered it carefully:
"Firstly, Fellow Daoist Gu needs help. Refining the second-order talisman requires the use of spiritual power during the foundation period. My current spiritual power is not good enough. Therefore, Fellow Daoist Gu has to listen to my arrangements and cooperate with me."

"Secondly, one year is too short...at least two years!"

Gu Hong frowned slightly: "Cooperating with Daoyou Li is simple, but two years..."

She pondered for a long time before she said, "Forget it—that's two years!"

……

For the next period of time, Li An handed over all the things in the shop to the apprentices in the shop to take care of them, while he concentrated on taking care of Gu Hong's affairs.

Gu Hong had prepared a second-level talisman brush and dozens of second-level talisman papers, but Li An didn't start drawing talismans directly.

"Gu Daoyou, if I want to borrow your spiritual power, I need you and I to be in the same mind, without precautions, you can do it?"

In the room, on the bed, Li An and Gu Hong sat facing each other.

Gu Hong nodded, stretched out two slender hands, and pressed them together with Li An's palm.

Li An's expression was calm. At first, he didn't directly exchange the spiritual power, but circulated the spiritual power in the palm of his hand like a gurgling stream.

Gu Hong felt a tingling sensation in her palms, she wanted to laugh subconsciously, but tried her best to hold it back, her expression was quite cute.

Her nervousness at the beginning dissipated under Li An's spiritual caress, and she felt relaxed.

But suddenly, she felt Li An's spiritual power flowing into her body like a stream.

Her body froze slightly.

"Relax."

Li An spoke in a deep voice.

……

Before drawing the talisman, Li An had to be familiar with Gu Hong's spiritual power and know the quality of his spiritual power before he could use it when drawing the talisman.

Moreover, it will take time for him to learn the two kinds of talismans in the incomplete second-order talisman.

This process directly took half a year!
One morning after half a year.

Li An and Gu Hong had breakfast, and Li An finally spread out the talisman while he was refreshed.

The black second-grade talisman pen is cold and heavy in the hand, and the black talisman paper made of second-grade materials is very textured, and it seems to have a mysterious texture naturally.

The second-order talisman paper is very precious, and each talisman talisman paper needs to be specially made, such as the soul-suppressing talisman and the thunder talisman talisman paper, if you buy one, you need 20 yuan of spirit stones.

It can be said to be burning money!

Li An stood in front of the table, the tip of the talisman brush was filled with spiritual ink, and landed on the talisman paper.

Gu Hong stood behind him, with his hands on his back, and the spiritual power of the foundation building period gathered into Li An's hands like a trickling stream.

After half a year of running-in, the cooperation between the two has been excellent.

Li An drives the spirit ink to make talismans——

The talisman pen outlines weird and profound talismans, which seem to touch people's hearts and souls.

Snapped!
The talisman paper suddenly made a soft sound, and it was directly damaged.

The first one failed, it took half an hour!

The two of them had long been mentally prepared for this, and immediately followed up with the second...

On this day, they tried five talisman papers, but all failed.

In fact, with Li Ang's mental strength, even if it was a second-order talisman, he could try to make ten pieces a day, but he didn't want to expose himself, so he chose to take his time.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

The sixty talisman papers that Gu Hong had prepared had all been tossed about, and the two of them still got nothing.

Fortunately, in the past six months, Li An has been buying goods from Xuanyangzong in various ways in the name of customers ordering, and gathered a lot of materials for making thunderbolt and soul-suppressing talisman paper.

These two talisman papers are expensive to sell, but if you make them yourself, the cost will be much lower, about six or seven spirit stones per piece.

Li An taught Gu Hong how to make talisman papers, and it took another two months to make a hundred talisman papers.

The two continued to cooperate with each other.

On this day, Ang Lee scrapped the No. 60 seven talisman papers.

"Let's change, you are in front."

He spoke suddenly.

Behind him, Gu Hong was puzzled: "Huh?"

"I use your spiritual power, but I can't be perfect and free. You write, and I control—"

He asked Gu Hong to come forward to write, and then stood side by side with Gu Hong, gently holding Gu Hong's jade hand with his right hand, and directly wrapped around Gu Hong's small waist with his left hand.

Gu Hong's face flushed slightly.

Although the two of them already had a lot of physical contact in daily life, but at this moment in this quiet study room, there was still a trace of charm in her heart.

"Calm down—"

Ang Lee's words were full of power.

Gu Hong took a deep breath, and then operated the talisman pen according to Li An's instructions.

Sure enough, although her technique was jerky at the beginning, under Li An's guidance, she got better and better, even better than Li An's previous painting.

This is mainly because she is more sensitive to her own spiritual power.

What's more, there is Li Ang personally guiding him.

Finally, after a few more days, when No.90 had three talisman papers, the strokes were finally completed perfectly, and a second-order soul-suppressing talisman was completed!
"Successful, successful!"

Gu Hong was sweating profusely, and after a lot of hard work, he finally made the first talisman.

She couldn't help grabbing Li An's hands, her face was full of surprise and excitement!
