Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 146 Lei Wanbao: I just want to follow in my junior brother's footsteps

According to common sense.

To create magical talismans, one must at least become a second-tier talisman maker.

Zhang Yan has only managed to draw a first-tier, low-grade talisman so far.

There is still a huge gap between me and becoming a second-tier rune maker.

but!

Zhang Yan has thoroughly mastered the entries on the Myriad Talisman Brush and the experience gained from it. Theoretically speaking, he can be considered a second-tier talisman master.

Most importantly, while optimizing the Swiftness Talisman, he entered a state of complete absorption. After emerging from that state, he clearly felt that his understanding of talismans had deepened.

This is a very magical state.

If he could maintain this state for a long time, Zhang Yan felt he could quickly become a third-tier talisman master, creating talismans comparable to those of the Golden Core stage.

However, this was just a random thought.

In reality, entering that state is something that can only be done by chance. During the time Zhang Yan was drawing talismans, he only entered it when he was improving the Swiftness Talisman.

Even Elder Huo, whose power was so great, had only heard of it, but had never actually been inside.

According to Elder Huo, that state should be considered a state of sudden enlightenment.

Only exceptionally gifted geniuses with extraordinary comprehension can gain entry. Zhang Yan casually remarked, "No more pretense, I am a super genius!"
……

To draw supernatural talismans, in addition to having sufficient skill, one also needs to have mastered the supernatural powers.

Other supernatural abilities may still require some time, but Zhang Yan has already mastered the art of "Water Over the World" due to the legacy of his elders.

So, theoretically speaking, he can try it now if he wants to.

Meanwhile, Elder Huo had already taken his Myriad Talisman Brush and left, expressing his deepest gratitude to Zhang Yan before departing.

This time, Wanfu Peak really made a fortune.

Zhang Yan authorized them to make the Divine Travel Talisman. Conservatively speaking, just from the sales within the Qingheng Sect and the Tianmu Mountain Range, they could earn tens of thousands of spirit stones every year.

If this business were to be expanded to the entire Zhao Kingdom in the future, the amount of spirit stones that could be obtained would be astronomical.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wanfu Peak will reach a new level because of this Divine Speed ​​Talisman.

'It's a pity that such an outstanding disciple is not from our Wanfu Peak!'

They, Muling Peak, really got a huge advantage!

Elder Huo could only feel envy, jealousy, and resentment towards a disciple like Zhang Yan.

He is now basically certain that as long as Zhang Yan does not perish, he will definitely be able to attain the Golden Core stage, and may even become the leader of the Qingheng Sect.

What a hell.

It's astonishing that Muling Peak could produce a talent capable of becoming its leader.

……

Zhang Yan was naturally unaware of Elder Huo's thoughts.

At this moment.

He has already returned to his cave.

He resumed his seclusion.

"Young Master, you're going into seclusion again after just emerging from seclusion?" Liu Yiting asked immediately after hearing Zhang Yan's words.

"Well, the goal hasn't been achieved yet, so I definitely need to continue my seclusion!" Zhang Yan sighed. He always felt that since he started cultivating immortality, the time he spent in seclusion had been getting longer and longer.

They're always going into seclusion.

However, although the number of times I went into seclusion increased, I also gained more and more knowledge and experience.

In fact, compared to the gains, the cost of this seclusion is negligible!
The creation of supernatural talismans is different from that of first-tier talismans.

At the very least, the talisman paper and spirit ink used for first-tier talismans are no longer usable; supernatural talismans, strictly speaking, belong to the second-tier category.

Therefore, higher-grade talisman paper and better spiritual ink are needed.

Only in this way can we ensure that there is enough spiritual power to drive the inscriptions on the talisman.

Moreover, second-tier talismans are different from first-tier talismans.

The drawing of second-order talismans was not so hasty.

Especially for supernatural talismans, specific types of talisman paper and specially prepared spiritual ink are required.

For example, the talisman paper for Watery World requires the skin of a spirit fish to be used as talisman paper, while the spirit ink requires the blood of a water-attribute spirit beast to be prepared.

At the very least, it requires the blood of a second-tier spirit beast.

Actually, it's not difficult at all.

After all, the Qingheng Sect is such a large sect, it still has some of these things in its inventory.

The only difficult part is getting the skin of the spirit fish.

The required spirit fish is a relatively rare type of spirit fish.

However, it was difficult.

However, after searching for a while, they successfully found the spirit fish and obtained a lot of spirit fish skins.

Although the quantity is not large, if most of them can be successful, it will be enough for Zhang Yan.

Everything is ready.

Zhang Yancai began his first attempt at drawing supernatural talismans.

However, since the Myriad Talisman Brush had been returned to Elder Huo, Zhang Yan used a different talisman brush when drawing the talisman.

Although it is also a talisman pen of the spiritual weapon level.

However, compared to the other party's, there is still a certain gap.

He dipped his magic brush in magic ink.

Then he concentrated on drawing on the talisman paper.

The drawing process was more difficult than Zhang Yan had imagined.

His first attempt failed completely; he didn't even finish the first third of the drawing.

Although he didn't expect to fail so quickly, Zhang Yan wasn't too discouraged. Even though he had improved the talisman and thoroughly understood Elder Huo's insights.

But in reality, he is still a novice.

Therefore, it is normal to make mistakes occasionally.

Having failed the first time, Zhang Yan was noticeably more cautious when drawing the inscription the second time. Although the result was still unsuccessful, he managed to complete nearly half of the inscription.

Significant progress!

Although he failed every time, Zhang Yan made great progress with each failure.

Therefore, it did not take long for him to complete the making of his first supernatural talisman.

"Finally finished!"

He saw the talisman in his hand.

A satisfied expression appeared on Zhang Yan's face.

With the supernatural talisman, he could temporarily leave the Qingheng Sect, while his grandmaster uncle could continue to heal his injuries.

"Let's test its effectiveness first." Looking at the talisman in his hand, Zhang Yan smiled slightly and then activated it.

As the talisman is activated.

Instantly, a gentle spiritual energy burst forth from the talisman, cleansing Zhang Yan's body.

The process was very comfortable, and after washing, all the impurities in his body were also removed.

"But that's not right!"

Upon sensing the "Watery World" within the talisman, Zhang Yan's expression changed slightly.

indeed.

Although the talisman was successful.

The spells inside were indeed meant to saturate the world with water, but the effects did not meet the desired standards.

The results were about 40% worse than I had imagined.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yan scratched his head.

I don't quite understand.

He clearly drew the talisman according to the records in the classics.

But the results were so much worse.

It's down by 40%.

It's only about half the original effect. "The talisman paper is fine, the spirit ink is fine, the inscription is fine, everything is fine, so where did things go wrong?"

Everything looks fine.

Zhang Yan felt somewhat confused.

Everything is fine, so could the problem be with me?

Think of this.

His body suddenly stiffened!
It seems that he really is the one who has a problem!

The drawing of supernatural talismans is different from that of other talismans, which only require the talisman maker to draw normally.

However, there is one condition when drawing a supernatural talisman: the supernatural power must be at least at the highest level.

"Do I need to infuse my own Watery World into it?" A realization dawned on Zhang Yan's mind.

It's been too long since anyone made magical talismans.

Because this thing is rather useless in itself.

I've already mastered all the supernatural powers, why would I need to make this talisman?
No matter what you do with your talismans, they will always suffer some wear and tear.

My supernatural powers are activated directly, making them even more powerful.

Furthermore, there are various limitations during the production process.

Therefore, some aspects of supernatural talismans have been forgotten.

After Zhang Yan understood this, he immediately drew another talisman and then poured his own magical power and a trace of Daoist essence into it.

Then try the power of the talisman again.

have to say.

After this incident, the power of the talisman indeed returned to normal.

Is it because of the Daoist rhythm?

Zhang Yan found the reason.

Although he poured his magic power into it, the talisman's capacity was limited, so his magic power did not linger there for long.

Instead, that trace of Daoist charm remained perfectly within it.

"It is said that one needs Daoist principles to become a Golden Core cultivator," Zhang Yan muttered to himself.

Although he is only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, he has indeed begun to understand the concept of the Golden Elixir.

For example, if you want to become a Golden Core cultivator, you must comprehend your supernatural powers to perfection before you can comprehend the complete Daoist principles.

The same reason.

Those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage need to continuously improve their natal spiritual weapon until it becomes a top-grade spiritual weapon. Only then can they evolve their natal spiritual weapon into a natal magic weapon when they achieve the Golden Core stage.

The same principle applies to talismans, elixirs, and formations.

However, even so...

However, Zhang Yan is still far from comprehending the Dao.

In particular, he possesses thirty-six supernatural powers, and mastering all thirty-six of them to perfection would be an enormous undertaking.

All I can say is that he's lucky he has a cheat code.

There is an equipment slot.

Otherwise, even if he worked himself to death, he would never be able to fully comprehend all the supernatural powers.

Regardless, he finally finished making his magical talisman.

Then Zhang Yan worked overtime, day and night, and finally drew more than thirty talismans in less than a week.

These talismans are enough for Grandmaster Qingluan to use. If they are not enough, she can draw more on the front lines.

It can be returned anytime.

Therefore, after giving the magical talisman in his hand to his grandmaster Qingluan, Zhang Yan prepared to go to the front line battlefield.

Actually.

The battle on the front lines is currently raging.

The monsters resisted more fiercely than the Qingheng Sect had anticipated.

They've been attacking for so long, but they haven't captured a single place.

They only managed to capture some minor spiritual veins.
This is clearly not in the interests of the Qingheng faction.

If I'm not mistaken, we may be heading into a war of attrition.

However, this is also a good thing for the Qingheng faction.

the reason is simple.

If it were a direct decisive battle, the Qingheng faction would inevitably suffer many casualties.

As for a war of attrition...

Although people will die, the death toll won't suddenly explode.

Instead, we should take it slowly.

At the same time, the fighting and plundering of resources also led to the emergence of more experts in the Qingheng Sect.

As a result, although the number of Qingheng Sect members decreased, their quality improved, and their combat effectiveness increased rather than decreased.

Zhang Yan even suspected that the war of attrition might be a deliberate act by the Qingheng faction.

The purpose is to use these monsters for training.

after all……

To know.

The Zhao Kingdom is currently in turmoil. The Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Myriad Flowers Palace is about to die, and the Joyful Union Demon Sect is also eyeing the entire Zhao Kingdom covetously.

Previously, the Qingheng Sect lived alone in the Tianmu Mountains and was not greatly affected by the outside world. But now the situation is different. This is clearly a war between two countries.

Moreover, the Hehuan Demon Sect wouldn't be so easy to get along with the Wanhua Palace, so the Qingheng Sect does indeed need to increase its combat power.

"Since you want to go to the front lines, then go. But remember, you must always put yourself first." This was in response to Zhang Yan's desire to go to the front lines.

Qingluan gave him a few words of advice, and after thinking for a moment, she gave him a strand of hair and then let him leave.

"Yes, Grandmaster Uncle!"

Zhang Yan looked at the single white hair wrapped around his ring finger and immediately bowed in gratitude.

Even though it's just a single hair.

But it contains the magic power of the Azure Phoenix.

Once activated, it can release three sword energies.

One sword aura at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, one at the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, and one at the great perfection stage of the Golden Core realm.

With these three sword energies...

Zhang Yan could be said to have no taboos in the Tianmu Mountains.

This time I'm going to the front lines.

It's impossible that Zhang Yan was the only one.

In fact, following Mo Changqing's instructions, the sect activated the defense rotation system.

Some of the frontline personnel have retreated to protect the sect, while Zhang Yan has led a group of people to provide support.

Among them, Senior Sister Jia, whom Zhang Yan was quite familiar with, also went to the front line. What surprised Zhang Yan the most was that Lei Wanbao was also among them.

"Why are you going to the front lines too?" Zhang Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, with Lei Kunhai holding the line, Lei Wanbao wouldn't need to risk his life on the front lines.

After all, people die on the front lines!

"Do you think I want to go? But my great-grandfather made me go. He said that if I don't go, I won't have any merit, and without merit, it won't be right for me to inherit Qianbaofeng."

At this point, Lei Wanbao paused for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "Junior brother, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but I'm telling you, I don't want to inherit Qianbao Peak at all. I just want to live a peaceful life following behind you."

Lei Wanbao spoke with a sincere expression.

Zhang Yan: "..."

At that moment, he truly didn't know what to say.

"Why don't you just do as Senior Lei says? Besides, isn't it good to be the peak master?"

"Don't say it out loud, it'll only make people angry!" Zhang Yan glanced at the other person; sometimes, these second-generation immortals can really be infuriating!
