My Book of Ten Thousand Jobs in the Godly World

Chapter 18 Spiritual Blood, [talisman] (please follow up)
  The clouds were overcast and the heavy rain continued.

Ji Yuan leaned behind a tree only five or six meters away from everyone, relying on the wind that came from time to time, and pieced together the conversations of these people intermittently.

It seems that some people are asking about the price of meat...

Are these people selling meat? !

But those on the carriage were clearly the nameless corpses they brought back from the city yesterday.

Two-legged sheep.

This word appeared in Ji Yuan's mind.

In my previous memory, when I was fleeing, I heard that some people were doing business with two-legged sheep to make money.

But it was the first time I saw it with my own eyes.

"No wonder there are no guards here."

Ji Yuan suddenly realized.

The loopholes in the mass graves were not accidental, but intentional.

Become an apprentice?

They shouldn't have such great power to deploy guards.

It should be those pedestrians.

Scarface and Niu Wu are gone, so only Liu Da and Liu Er are left.

Maybe several people are involved.

Ji Yuan quietly stuck his head out, trying to see clearly the faces of these people.

But the night was too dark.

Ji Yuan could only see those who bought meat, their clothes were ragged.

They should all be victims of the disaster.

And judging from how familiar they are, this probably isn't the first time they've done this business.

One after another, there are still people braving the rain to do ‘business’.

Ji Yuan doesn't like their behavior. After all, they are the same kind.

It really disgusted him to do this to make money.

But the matter had nothing to do with him, and Ji Yuan didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. He waited at the edge of the woods for these people to disperse before emerging from the woods and returning to the cabin.

In front of the wooden warehouse.

Ji Yuan stood under the eaves and wrung out all the clothes on his body.

Then walked in.

After being promoted to apprentices, they still lived in the wooden warehouse.

But the location was changed to the corner by the window.

The seniors built several partitions.

Some "single rooms" were separated, and a wooden roller blind made of wooden boards and fine cloth strips was used to reflect the dignity of their apprenticeships.

Ji Yuan also likes this design very much.

This will make it much more convenient for you to go out to practice at night.

Ji Yuan just opened the curtain.

I saw someone next to me who also happened to lift the curtain.

"Yo, what a coincidence."

Ji Yuan looked at Zhang Miao with wet hair.

This guy seems to have grown stronger again. Could it be that he is just like himself.

Did you also secretly find a place to practice in the middle of the night?

"What a coincidence."

The two looked at each other and smiled, both seeing something.

But they all agreed not to ask.

Although they are all sworn brothers, they still need the privacy they deserve.

……

The next night, Ji Yuan moved to an open space near Sanxi Township to practice.

Two calm days.

Nothing unexpected happened.

Niu Wu and Dao Scarface came back from the city very early in the morning.

Then they pulled Ji Yuan into the hut they built alone.

"Nothing happened at the mass graves in the past two days, right?"

Niu Wu sat down and did not go straight to the topic.

Instead, he asked a digression.

"What does Master Niu want to ask?" Ji Yuan's answer was somewhat ambiguous.

I wanted to take this opportunity to see if Niu Wu was involved in the Two-legged Sheep business.

Niu Wu chuckled.

"What else could it be? It's just a corpse."

Ji Yuan shook his head, "It's been very peaceful these two days, and no one said anything about being haunted."

"That's good."

Niu Wu seemed to be relieved.

"Come on, let's start learning the Suffering Talisman."

With that said, Niu Wu got up and walked to a wooden box in the corner.

Move the wooden box to the table.

He took out something from it without haste.

Purple sunflower root, a stone mortar, a small jar of blood from an unknown animal and a jar of gray powder that should be lime.

Finally, there was a stack of yellow paper and a lint-laden brush.

"Here, these are the things used to draw relief charms."

Niu Wuyi spread these things out on the table.

Then he said to himself.

"One ounce of purple sun and one ounce of ashes. Two ounces of spiritual blood to create smoke. Warm ink survival talisman."

"I don't need to say more about the first sentence. The purple sunflower and lime must be exactly the same. Beat the purple sunflower into powder and mix it with the lime in a pot."

“Just remember to keep it even.”

"The second thing is, boil this spiritual blood first, just boil it until it's steaming."

"Then mix the powder with the spiritual blood."

"Here, the ink is done."

"The warmth of the ink in the last sentence means that the ink cannot cool down before the talisman is finished."

"Otherwise, it will become a death talisman and have no effect."

"So you have to be quick when drawing the talisman."

Ji Yuan remembered to be serious and nodded frequently.

"There is a little trick here, that is, you can boil the spiritual blood until it is steaming, and then delay it for three breaths."

"Remember, there are three at most."

"Spiritual blood is very fragile and will be consumed no matter how long it takes."

Ji Yuan nodded repeatedly, but couldn't help but ask, "What kind of blood is spiritual blood?"

"It is said to be the blood of a beast, but I don't know the details."

"They are all bought in the warehouse of the Mortuary Department. Sometimes they are not available, so they have to go to the black market."

"Gold is very expensive anyway."

Ji Yuan couldn't wait, "Shall we start?"

"Okay, let me show you one first."

Niu Wu smiled, and then started to stir around as he was minding his own business. He deliberately slowed down his movements in the front to let Ji Yuan see each step clearly.

"Please note, one ounce of purple sun and one ounce of gray does not necessarily have to be one ounce, you can have half."

"One tael of purple sun can produce two talismans."

"If you draw quickly, you can draw two talismans in front of Mo Liang with this amount."

"If you're slow, just come out with one."

"It's just a little troublesome to prepare the materials."

Niu Wu said and acted at the same time.

His movements were all done in one go, so smooth that he didn't even use his eyes to see them.

Until the ink is completed.

Niu Wu's expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes became sharp.

No more words to say.

The tip of the pen is dipped in ink, and the ink produced by the so-called spiritual blood is extremely viscous.

The whole thing is adsorbed on the brush.

The brush came out of the stone mortar, bringing up a stream of snake-like scarlet liquid.

Swish!
  The tip of the pen fell on the yellow paper, and Niu Wu's drawings were completed in one go.

Ji Yuan was watching carefully.

The paintings on the talisman must not be broken, and must be connected from beginning to end.

It's like the word "ku" for relieving suffering, but it's not.

When Niu Wu finished his last stroke, the ink on the yellow paper slowly emitted a faint red light.

Ji Yuan quickly rubbed his eyes.

The red light slowly extinguished.

"call……"

Finally, a talisman was completed.

Niu Wu also let out a sigh of relief.

"Have you seen that light?"

Ji Yuan nodded.

"Whether the talisman is successful or not depends on whether there is this light. We call it talisman light."

Niu Wu added, "I just forgot to mention that when drawing the Suffering Talisman, you not only need to be calm, but you also need to do it in one go."

"One wrong step and this talisman will be useless."

"How did I draw it just now? Do you remember the steps?"

Ji Yuan recalled it for a moment before replying, "Almost 70 to 80%."

Niu Wu didn't respond, but pointed to the flat ground and scooped up another ladle of water.

"You draw a picture on the ground first, and I'll show it to you."

Niu Wu said, putting the brush back into the stone mortar.

Squeeze the ink off the brush with your hands.

Once, twice, three times.

Until not a drop of ink could be squeezed out, Niu Wu hurriedly covered the stone mortar with a lid and placed it above the fire.

Neither far nor near.

Then he handed the brush to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan took the pen.

He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then slowly open it.

Calmly, he dipped his pen in water and drew the pattern on the talisman on the flat ground smoothly.

moment.

Ji Yuan looked up at Niu Wu.

Niu Wu's eyes narrowed into two crescent moons when he smiled.

"I have a good memory."

He didn't expect that Ji Yuan would completely restore his writing style after just reading it once.

Except for the much slower speed, everything else is impeccable.

"Come on, try drawing the talisman."

This time, Niu Wu directly asked Ji Yuan to fight.

Ji Yuan made preparations again, and then dropped the brush in his hand into the stone mortar.

The ink is like glue and has some elasticity when pressed.

This made Ji Yuan couldn't help but wonder what kind of beast's blood it was.

But it was only a momentary thought.

He immediately picked up the pen and placed it on the yellow talisman paper.

Soothe the soul!

This time, Ji Yuan activated his power on himself.

For an instant.

Ji Yuan's complicated thoughts disappeared instantly.

The whole person suddenly became light and airy.

This was the first time Ji Yuan used Soul Calming on himself.

It was also the first time that he felt that distracting thoughts also had weight.

"Don't be nervous. When you first learn the talisman, you will have to destroy some."

"These are necessary."

"What you have to do now is learn how to stay calm and find that feeling."

Niu Wu's voice rang in his ears, and he was not afraid of disturbing Ji Yuan.

After all, he didn't have much hope.

How could someone succeed in drawing a talisman the first time?

I think it took me a full month and a half to learn to have a calm mind.

That's it,

In the words of his master, he is also a genius who 'cultivates his mind'.

It's a pity that he came from a humble background and didn't have that fate.

otherwise……

Niu Wu suddenly caught a glimpse of a red light from the corner of his eye, but it was extinguished in an instant.

"pity."

Ji Yuan looked at the dimmed talisman paper and sighed.

"The ink made from spiritual blood is too viscous. I pressed it twice in the middle and the shape was messed up, otherwise it would have ended."

He muttered to himself, feeling sorry.

Simultaneously,

There is also a line of text appearing in the eyes.

"Acquired the position of [talisman]"

"Spell Master Proficiency +1"
