Chapter 11 Making Talisman Behind Closed Doors, Practice Makes Perfect

This is the end of our first pleasant trip to the city.

Next comes the day of learning how to make talismans.

The plan to make money is urgent.

First of all, Chen Yuanqing probably had some ideas about making talismans after five days of reading "The True Explanation of Basic Talisman Making" and "How to Make Spiritual Explosive Talisman".

The craft of making talismans involves three processes.

Draw runes, inject mana, and refine talismans.

That’s right, it’s three steps.

For a small talisman, you first need to use a talisman pen and talisman ink to outline the runes to form the "frame" of the talisman, then inject mana to complete the "pouring" of the talisman, and finally use a refining technique to combine the mana and the talisman. The talisman is completed by merging the text and making the two fit together.

In addition to factors such as talisman paper, talisman pen, and talisman ink.

The completeness of the runes.

The purity of mana and the method of infusion.

The degree of fit between the two.

Determines the quality of a talisman.

"A skilled talisman maker can draw runes, inject mana, and refine talisman in one go."

As his fingers crossed this sentence, Chen Yuanqing suddenly realized it.

It turns out that as long as you become proficient, the three processes can be combined into one.

In other words, when drawing the runes, mana is injected through the talisman pen. After the runes are drawn, the entire talisman is also successfully refined at the same time.

That night, Chen Yuanqing took a bunch of things into the workshop he built by himself.

He put away the sundries on the wooden table in the house, placed the talisman pen, talisman paper, and spiritual ink on the table, and moved the bamboo tube of spiritual ink like an obsessive-compulsive disorder to place the three items in a horizontal line.

He found a bowl and poured out the spiritual ink that could not reach the bottom of the bowl.

Pulling out a cut piece of talisman paper and placing it on the table, he dipped his pen in it. After thinking about it, Chen Yuanqing went to the talisman paper and used the tip of the bristle pen to outline the first rune.

Horizontal, sideways, upside down
".Wrong drawing..."

Throw away the discarded talisman paper and open the panel. There is nothing. Maybe it does not meet the minimum standards.

Close the panel and continue drawing.

Horizontal, oblique, inverted vertical, hook angle, horizontal.
".wrong again.."

Tear it off and pick up another talisman paper.

After going down twenty talisman papers in a row, Chen Yuanqing finally drew the complete runes on the bright yellow talisman paper.

The moment I put pen to paper, the insights and experience on how to draw complete runes correctly came into my mind.

Enlightenment (Dacheng), 60 times experience/enlightenment.

Chen Yuanqing immediately picked up his pen and began to outline the runes on another rune paper.

This time, whether it is the angle of writing, the skill of turning the wrist, or the strength of swiping the pen, there has been a great improvement compared with the last time.

Successfully drawing a rune once was to him like successfully drawing a rune sixty times.

The proficiency is naturally different.

When I opened the panel, there was indeed a response.

Skill: Second-level rune drawing (3% first refinement).

"Second level? Is it because what I made is a second level talisman?"

"Well, it turns out that drawing runes is a separate skill and is not included in making runes."

This is also more understandable. After all, no matter how you look at it, drawing runes is a separate set of operations.

In this case, wouldn't injecting mana and refining talismans be considered a separate skill?
"Since this is the case, it is most perfect to make talismans according to the assembly line model. It can improve efficiency and quality, so let's draw runes on all the talisman papers first."

Although I am curious whether the other two processes will become separate skills, there is no doubt that it is the best choice to improve a single proficiency by drawing runes first to reduce losses.

carry on.

It is easier for a single person to become proficient when doing one thing repeatedly. If there is a 60 times enlightenment blessing, then learning will definitely be fast.

Two days later.

As the number of blank talisman papers decreases, the talisman papers with runes drawn on them are stacked higher and higher.

I don’t know which one to draw.

Chen Yuanqing suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. Not only did the movements of his hands become more and more skillful, but some new ideas for the "Spirit Explosion Talisman" runes came out. The movements of drawing the runes in his hands began to change unconsciously. He should have hooked the horns. Where it should have been, a semicircle was drawn, and where it should have been drawn horizontally, there was a stroke.

in this state.

The set of actions for drawing runes is basically a written code.

A version of "runes" that far exceeded the standard was successfully drawn.

Pick up the newly drawn talisman paper and compare it with the previous one.

"what happened?"

Chen Yuanqing frowned.

No, the newly created version of the rune has the same main body, but some branch structures are more detailed, just like the original identical tree, but the one on the left suddenly has a few more branches.

But why do I feel that the new version of runes is easier to connect when the mana flows? There is one more stroke here, which connects this line and this line.

"Well, the new one is indeed better."

Is it?

Open the panel and take a look.really.

Skill: Second-level rune drawing (1% entry: rune improvement).

[Rune Improvement (Entry Level): You always have unexpected insights into rune drawing]

No wonder.

It turns out that when I first drew it, I couldn't help but improve the runes of the "Spiritual Explosion Talisman". Since it was an improvement, it was a good thing.

Continue to draw.

Swish swish.

After reaching entry-level rune drawing, the speed and success rate of the entire drawing are significantly improved.

After two days of retreat, 120 talisman papers with drawn runes were stacked on the table.

Skill: Second-level rune drawing (7% proficiency: rune improvement).

[Rune Improvement (Proficient Level): You always have unexpected insights into rune drawing]

After he became proficient in drawing runes, his new insights allowed Chen Yuanqing to draw a new version of the runes, which was more sophisticated and had more branches.

Next, inject mana.

The process of injecting mana requires precision. You can imagine that your mana is a carving knife, and you master this "carving knife" to carve the rune route over and over again. This step will affect the fit of the final refining step.

Two days later, there were only 120 talismans left out of the [-].

Second-level mana engraving (4% proficiency: mana compression).

[Mana Compression (Proficient Level): When you are engraving second-level mana, you can cleverly inject more mana through mana compression]

"It's the second level again. It seems to be as I guessed. Because I'm refining a second-level talisman, my skills start at the second level. If I'm refining a third-level talisman, I should start at the third level."

The process of mana injection becomes a second-level mana engraving on the panel, and the exclusive "mana compression" affix is ​​also unlocked.

Still practical.

The more mana, the longer the lifespan of the talisman and the more explosive it is.

Finally, after four days of hard work, it was time to reach the final step of refining.

Refining.

If second-level mana engraving is to continuously "carve" the runes with a carving knife, then refining is like using mana to "calcin" the talisman.

Allowing the final fusion of runes and mana.

Pick up the talisman and the magic package.

"Erosion", "compaction".

Chen Yuanqing began to refine the talisman.

After a while, the runes on the talisman gradually deformed and shrank. As a natural mana fluctuation came out of the talisman, a complete "Spiritual Explosion Talisman" was finally successfully refined.

During this process, the runes on the entire "Spiritual Explosion Talisman" will change drastically as if they were reorganized.

This is an important step in rune refining, called "covering the rune".

The talisman processed through this step completely disrupted the original rune context, but it did not affect the mobilization of mana.

The most important function is to prevent other talisman makers from imitating their own talismans based on the runes.

Skill: Second level refining (3% first refining).

The talisman spread out on the table is about the size of a palm, outlined in blood and ink, the runes are rough and the magic power is pure.

Mana Injection to check.

A considerable amount of resistance emerged from the talisman.

"According to the book, the fit is about [-]%."

"It's mainly due to the uneven quality of the three processes. This is a first-level refining rune drawing, plus a proficient-level second-level mana engraving, plus a first-level refining."

It should be regarded as a nearly abandoned talisman.

Give yourself a fairly fair evaluation.

To be honest, Chen Yuanqing didn't feel depressed at all.

You know, for a novice who was reading books a few days ago, being able to make a talisman from a knife of talisman paper is already an amazing talent.

Not to mention that this is still a second-level talisman.

"Just think of it as practice."

Close the panel and continue to work hard to complete the last process.

Gradually, as the talismans disappeared, more and more "Spirit Explosion Talismans" were successfully produced on Chen Yuanqing's table.

Of the eighty talisman papers, 56 were finally successful.

Second level refining (78% entry level: compatibility).

[Coherence: The compatibility of the refined object is increased by 10%. 】

With 56 successful experience points, there is still no way to advance the proficiency level to proficiency.

The affix "fit" obtained through refining can be regarded as an extremely good fit.

The purpose of refining this skill is to make the runes and mana fit together. The higher the fit, the higher the quality.

This is not "fit", what is "fit".
