Immortality cultivation starts from Dongxuan Lake

Chapter 45 The Effect of Talismans

……

Time passed little by little while Lu Ming was drawing the talisman.

He drew the talismans ten times every day, and spent the rest of the time preparing spiritual ink and observing the ancient runes.

For the next eight days, Lu Ming devoted himself to drawing the ancient insect-repelling talisman.

Finally, on the ninth day, as Lu Ming began to outline the last rune, light flashed past, and the complete ancient insect-repelling rune was successfully drawn!

"what!"

After taking a long breath, Lu Ming showed joy on his face.

As early as three days ago, after practicing dozens of times, he finally understood the meaning of the two ancient runes.

Drive and ban!

But despite this, it was quite difficult to draw ancient runes on rune paper. It took him thirty times to successfully create such an ancient insect repellent charm.

Looking at the ancient insect repellent talisman with a faint yellow light blooming on its surface, infinite pride surged in Lu Ming's heart.

Then he looked at the ancient insect repellent talisman with a smile on his face and compared it with the one he obtained from Old Man Su.

The runes are intact, the spiritual ink outlines are even, and there is no difference between the two pictures except the old ones.

I just don’t know how effective it will be.

I wanted to give it a try, but then I thought about going to the Zhao family for business the day after tomorrow.

This talisman cannot be used lightly.

If you want to test the power of the Talismans, you can draw another one yourself.

It just so happened that I haven't used the ten high-grade talisman papers given by the Zhao family before, so I will try it with them first.

After thinking about it, Lu Ming immediately took out the ten talisman papers from his storage bag and spread them out. He calmed down again and carefully began to sketch.

……

Half an hour passed, and another ancient insect-repelling talisman was perfectly formed!

Looking at the two ancient insect-repelling charms on the table, Lu Ming's eyes flashed.

Sure enough, the difficulty of drawing talismans with higher quality materials has also been reduced a lot.

According to his estimate, the difficulty has been reduced by at least three levels compared to before.

Moreover, based on my own cultivation level, doing this is already the limit.

Now is the time to test the power of this ancient repellent charm.

Lu Ming picked up the first insect-repelling talisman that he had originally drawn and placed the ancient insect-repelling talisman made from high-grade talisman paper.

Then we came to the iron trough where the iron ants were placed.

"Huh~" After taking a deep breath, Lu Ming pointed the talisman paper at the iron trough.

Then it was activated, and a burst of yellow light suddenly burst out, instantly covering the entire iron trough!

"Om..."

The iron-clawed ant's body trembled, and then it began to twist and struggle violently.

Spirit insects could not express their thoughts, but through secret techniques, Lu Ming could still sense their fear and awe.

Yes, it feels the fear of death! That kind of irresistible danger makes them a little desperate!

"squeak--"

The iron jaw ants shook their bodies crazily, hitting and biting the iron trough in an attempt to escape the area.

It's just that the iron trough made of ordinary fine iron can't stop the sharp teeth of the iron ants, and it was eaten away by dense gaps in a short time.

Even though Lu Ming tried his best to control them with secret methods, he was still restless and even vaguely felt that he was out of control of the secret methods.

Sure enough, just using the secret method to control the iron jaw ants is somewhat insufficient. If you use the blood contract to control them, you will not hesitate to let them die.

This made Lu Ming couldn't help but shake his head.

Fortunately, he controlled the iron ants just to test the secret method, and not to cultivate them exclusively. If he were to cultivate spiritual worms, his first choice would still be the eggs of the three purple wasps.

The iron-jawed ant barely ranks in the 300th place on the strange insect list, while the purple wasp can rank in the 200th place. The difference between them is hundreds of places.

Moreover, controlling the purple bee queen can then control the entire bee colony, and the effect is better.

However, he finally tested the effect of this ancient insect repellent charm.

It is indeed extraordinary, even high-grade spiritual insects are extremely fearful, let alone low-grade poisonous insects.

With just one talisman, it can be said that it is invincible against the insect-repelling monks.

Especially the kind of monks who control insect swarms on a large scale are fatally restrained.

I just don’t know how long this insect repellent charm will be effective?

Lu Ming started timing, and at the same time carefully controlled the iron ants, letting them hover within the boundary of the insect repellent charm to test the effective range.

After struggling with these iron-jawed ants for a whole afternoon, I finally tested the effectiveness of the ancient insect repellent charm.

There are roughly two ways to release this ancient insect repellent charm.

The first type is released against the human body and can form a field.

This field makes it impossible for these spiritual insects to avoid it. The duration is negatively correlated with the range. The larger the range, the shorter the duration. If it is placed on a person, the range of three feet can last almost a whole day.

The second type is released at a fixed point, which lasts twice as long as the time it takes on a monk.

Even the scope of deworming is much larger.

After a lot of hard work, the effectiveness of the talisman was finally determined. This made Lu Ming nod his head repeatedly.

Then I calculated the price subconsciously.

The price of the ancient insect-repelling talisman is ten spirit stones, and my success rate is one-fifth.

In other words, the cost of such a talisman is fifty spirit stones, and the selling price will be higher.

Just such a talisman costs less than half a magic weapon, so it is not cheap.

However, there is no place around Tailing Mountain that needs ancient insect-repelling talismans, except for the Zhao family and the Gongsun family... such talismans cannot be sold.

Combined with the previous information, it can be basically determined that the foundation-building monks around Tailing Mountain also know about the Lingshi Mine.

The Zhao family tried every means to obtain the ancient insect-repelling talisman in order to dig mineral veins into Xuling Mountain.

Poisonous insects are everywhere inside Xuling Mountain, and there are many poisonous insects that have reached the top level.

This secret realm of Xuling Mountain was built for the purpose of cultivating disciples.

Natural foundation-building monks cannot enter.

If the qi-training monks rush in blankly, even the monks in the late stage of qi-training will have to hide their hatred in Xuling Mountain.

Otherwise, this secret realm would not have been explored clearly for hundreds of years.

And none of this has anything to do with him.

He just needs to go to Zhao's house when the time comes. He has been coveting the hundred-year-old wood for a long time. Once he gets it, he can start to arrange the formation that condenses the acquired Yimu body.

As for the others, even the Zong Talisman Master, Lu Ming didn't think he could succeed.

As someone who has personally drawn ancient insect repellent talismans, he knows how difficult it is to draw such talismans.

If the materials it consumed were replaced by spiritual stones, it would probably be close to a thousand spiritual stones.

How can ordinary people in the market have such a fortune to try it? Even the most skilled Zong Talisman Master may not have such a fortune.

Talisman masters make a lot of money, but they also have a lot of daily expenses.

Only someone like Lu Ming, who had a steady stream of spiritual blood and drew talismans for free, could produce so many spiritual stones.

Besides, the materials also require high-grade spiritual insects, and those that meet the requirements are difficult to obtain.

It's no wonder that the Zhao family doesn't use a lot of materials to train Talisman Masters.

There is really no material.

……

On the tenth day, when the sky was dimming, Lu Ming got up, washed up, left the room, and headed towards the Zhao family.

Today was the time for him to make an appointment with Miss Zhao.

"Hope everything goes well!"

Lu Ming murmured to himself as he walked out of the yard.

After passing many shops, he soon arrived in front of Zhao's Talisman Shop.

As soon as I arrived here, I saw two figures waiting here.

When he looked carefully, it was the two Talisman Masters who came with him before.

Lu Ming took a step forward and cupped his hands with a smile on his face: "Master Chen Fu, Master Su Fu, don't you two go in?"

Master Chen Fu is an old man in his sixties, wearing a blue robe and looking like an immortal.

The other person is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a dignified appearance and elegant temperament.

After hearing Lu Ming's words, Master Chen smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "I am waiting for the Master of Zong here today. I wonder if he has successfully drawn it?"

"Oh...that's it!" Lu Ming suddenly realized and nodded.

Master Chen Fu continued to ask: "Little friend Lu, did you have a good rest last night?"

Lu Ming replied: "Thank you for your concern, Master Chen. I slept very soundly last night."

"Haha, that's good, that's good." Master Chen Fu stroked his beard and smiled after hearing this. His previous attitude towards Lu Ming was completely gone, and he was very kind.

Are you sure you can't draw it yourself? Lu Ming thought to himself.

Or maybe it’s because I gave up on drawing the ancient talismans because I had no stakes and didn’t want to offend myself.

Lu Ming didn't know, but he didn't care.

At this time, Master Su Talisman suddenly interrupted: "Since you have been waiting for half an hour, you might as well be more patient."

Master Chen shook his head and said, "That's all. We've waited a long time, so we can't give up halfway."

He originally wanted to go in directly, but these two were seniors after all, so he waited here with the two of them for the talisman master.

During this period, I also mentioned some drawing tips among Talisman masters.

The two of them are worthy of being seniors. Although Lu Ming is slightly better than them in terms of drawing skills, they still have many tips on how to draw talismans, such as how to save mana when drawing talismans and how to increase the retention time of talismans.

Lu Ming benefited a lot.
