There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Chapter 164: Year Spirit Wood

To refine a second-grade spiritual talisman, tougher materials are needed. The skin of a spiritual beast or paper made from the wood of a thousand-year-old spiritual tree can be used.

When using the skin of a spiritual beast, you must consider the attributes of the spiritual beast and the talisman you need. Only when the attributes match can you draw the talisman.

For example, the thunderstorm talisman that Xu Changshou had drawn before could only be drawn using a spirit beast with thunder attributes.

The spiritual beast mentioned here is not a low-level spiritual beast, but a spiritual beast that has refined its throat bone and evolved into a demon.

Monsters are rare to begin with, and their skins are even rarer, so the restrictions are too great. Therefore, second-grade talismans are usually made of paper made from thousand-year-old spiritual wood.

Thousand-year-old spiritual trees are easier to get than spiritual beasts, but they are not easy to get either.

Spiritual wood of this age can generally be used as the main material for refining pseudo-magic tools, or as auxiliary material for refining magic tools. Some high-quality spiritual wood can even be used directly as the main material for refining magic tools.

Thousand-year-old spiritual wood is sold by the kilogram, and the price is not cheap.

However, due to the stable structure of the thousand-year-old spiritual wood, the paper made from it can carry talismans of various properties.

This kind of paper is basically suitable for drawing any second-grade talisman, even a second-grade thunderstorm talisman and a stronger wood thunder talisman.

The wooden thunder talisman has higher requirements for wood. It must be some relatively tough trees such as thousand-year-old Jianmu, thousand-year-old Huangzhongli, thousand-year-old red sandalwood, thousand-year-old yew, etc.

If you want to draw a second-grade talisman that incorporates thunder attributes, you will need higher-quality materials.

Xu Changshou took a look and found that he had never heard of many of the materials and didn't know if they existed.

However, Xu Changshou had heard of the material that could be used to draw the most powerful fire thunder talisman, and that was the thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood.

Thousand-year-old spiritual wood is already extremely rare, let alone thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood.

Just imagine, a spiritual tree that has grown for a thousand years and has just been struck by lightning. You can imagine how rare this kind of spiritual tree is.

In addition, if one wants to draw a second-grade spiritual talisman, one needs more than just the mental skills, the painting techniques, and paper made from thousand-year-old spiritual wood. One also needs a spiritual pen of the magical instrument level. His white rhinoceros pen made from the horn of the Moon-gazing Rhinoceros is a pseudo-magic instrument and is no longer useful.

After reading "The Secret of the Jade Talisman" from beginning to end, Xu Changshou had a general idea of ​​what he would do in the future.

Finding thousand-year-old spiritual wood for making paper is the most important thing to do in the future, and refining the magic weapon spiritual pen must also be implemented as soon as possible.

Xu Changshou roughly calculated that there are several very practical talismans in the foundation-building realm.

It mainly focuses on three aspects: attack, defense, and escape.

Attack: Sharp Gold Talisman, Thunderstorm Talisman, Gold Wind Talisman, Wood Thunder Talisman, Fire Thunder Talisman.

There are many kinds of dual-attribute talismans that can be integrated with the thunder attribute, but the materials required are too difficult to obtain, so there is no need to draw each one.

The materials needed for the attack of the Wooden Thunder Talisman are easy to obtain. The attack power of this talisman is similar to that of other dual-attribute talismans containing thunder. With the Wooden Thunder Talisman, there is no need to draw other ones.

The Fire Thunder Talisman is the strongest dual-attribute thunder talisman, so it is natural to draw it.

Defense: Earth Gang Talisman, Earth and Wood Talisman.

In terms of escape: flying sword talisman, wind-moving talisman, earth-escape talisman, water-controlling talisman, and flying talisman.

Among them, the fastest one is the flying sword talisman. When used, it is attached to the flying sword and can make the flying sword travel thousands of miles a day.

The Wind Talisman and the Flying Talisman are slightly weaker, and their speed can reach eight thousand miles per day.

The earth escape talisman and the water control talisman each have their own functions.

In addition to these three aspects, you also need to prepare some miscellaneous talismans such as soul-calming talismans, illusion-breaking talismans, formation-breaking talismans, corpse-breaking talismans, etc.

There are more things to do after laying the foundation. It cannot be accomplished overnight. It has to be done step by step.

Xu Changshou closed his eyes and silently began to practice the "Da Dao Fu Jing".

After entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy was many times faster than that in the Qi Refining Stage.

But at the same time, after entering the foundation-building stage, the body can accommodate more spiritual energy. Compared with this, the speed at which he absorbs spiritual energy does not seem to be fast at all.

Xu Changshou secluded himself for more than two months and sadly discovered that in just one month, he had absorbed very little spiritual energy.

At this rate, it will take an indefinite amount of time for a breakthrough to be achieved.

Counting the time, I have been in seclusion for more than half a year.

The talisman he gave Yang Bailao contained a total of half a year's worth of tasks. When the time came to hand in the tasks, Xu Changshou had now broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, so he definitely didn't need to hand in the tasks for the Qi Refining Realm.

Even if he didn't have to hand it over, he had to tell Li Daitu. There was no need to keep the fact that he was building his foundation a secret.

Xu Changshou came out of seclusion and removed the formation in the courtyard. Although he removed the formation, he did not go out. Soon, it was the end of the month.

someday.

Dodo dodo!

Someone knocked on the door outside the yard.

"Who?"

"Brother Xu, it's me, Bai Lao."

Yang Bailao's voice came from outside. Yes, Yang Bailao was here.

"Please come in!"

Xu Changshou thought about it, and the gate opened automatically. Yang Bailao hurriedly walked into the yard.

"Brother Xu, I have handed in all the talismans for your tasks in the past six months. Now I don't have any talismans. Let me remind you that since you have come out of seclusion, don't forget to hand in the tasks." Yang Bailao came in front of Xu Changshou and said honestly.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Yang, for reminding me. I know. Come on, Junior Brother Yang, have some tea!"

Xu Changshou smiled and invited Yang Bailao to have tea.

Xu Changshou took out the tea set, and Yang Bailao naturally sat down opposite Xu Changshou. Glancing at him, Yang Bailao said dissatisfiedly, "Brother Xu, your cultivation has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. No matter how much you practice in seclusion, your realm will not improve. Why bother practicing in seclusion? I'm telling you, your cultivation has reached its limit. From now on, you should enjoy life more."

"Junior Brother Yang, what you said makes sense."

Xu Changshou smiled and said, "I'm in seclusion this time mainly to break through the Foundation Establishment Realm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been away for so long. Junior Brother Yang, thank you for helping me complete the tasks for the past six months."

Yang Bailao frowned. "Senior Brother Xu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should be more pragmatic. We, the menial disciples, have toiled for a hundred years for the sect. It's enough for us to be able to retire and return to secular life. Forget about building a foundation..."

Yang Bailao was halfway through his words when he couldn't continue and looked at Xu Changshou in disbelief.

Only then did he realize that Xu Changshou opposite him was no longer at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Yang Bailao couldn't see clearly what level Xu Changshou's cultivation was at present, but he could feel that Xu Changshou at this moment gave people the feeling of a vast ocean.

Facing Xu Changshou at this time, he felt like he was facing Li Daitu.

Except for Li Daitu, other uncles in the foundation-building stage gave Yang Bailao the same feeling.

Could it be that... Xu Changshou has established his foundation? This is impossible?

"Hiss...Senior Brother Xu, you, you, you..."

Thinking of this possibility, Yang Bailao took a deep breath.
