I rely on talismans to seek longevity

It seems that what Uncle Fu said during the test was right. My spiritual veins are very complicated. If I practice Qi, my progress will be very slow. I will never be able to build a foundation in my lifetime. However, Luo Ling has been mentally prepared. This time, I found that I can practice Qi, which is an unexpected surprise.

Then Luo Ling studied "Basic Talisman Introduction", which introduced that talismans are a medium that carries and conveys mysterious power through carriers (such as talisman paper, cloth, etc.). The drawing and use of talismans is not just a simple graphic production, but contains a profound understanding of Taoism and the laws of heaven and earth. The general production of talismans requires the use of talisman pens and talisman ink to draw the talisman pattern on the characteristic talisman paper. When drawing, you need to concentrate your energy and input the corresponding energy at the last moment of drawing. It must be done in one go, otherwise it will fail. Therefore, many times, when drawing talismans, you need to bathe and burn incense before you can proceed.

"Introduction to Elementary Talismans" not only records the making of talisman paper, but also the making of talisman ink and talisman pen. The introductions are very detailed. For example, the crystal core of the fog beast that Luo Ling obtained before can be used to make talisman ink and create those psychedelic talismans.

There are many types of talismans, including defensive, offensive, control, auxiliary, etc. Luo Ling currently lacks both offensive and defensive means, so he plans to learn shield talismans and fire blast talismans first, one for defense and the other for attack, but Luo Ling currently does not have the corresponding tools, so he has no way to practice.

Before there was no comparison, Luo Ling didn't know the benefits of his own skills. Now he knows it after comparing it with "Eternal Green Skill". This is why Uncle Fu didn't allow Luo Ling to pass on the "Eighteen Styles of Martial Arts" to others. At the same time, it also strengthened Luo Ling's determination to practice harder.

Before we knew it, it was noon again. This time we took a rest at a ferry crossing, which was named "Wind Bell Ferry". I heard that it was because there was a kind of grass with bells growing on both sides of the ferry crossing. When this grass matures, it will produce a kind of fruit. When this fruit dries, it will make a "ding ding" sound when the wind blows.

The ferry was neither big nor small, and there were already more than ten boats waiting. The river was not narrow, about a few dozen feet wide, and there were no waves. The main reason was that the water was deep and the river was wide, so a bridge could not be built. There were inns and taverns near the ferry, and local villagers were selling local specialties here, which was considered a small market. After the caravan stopped, Gu Nantian and two men went to the boat captain to discuss the crossing.

Gu Nanxin ran over again, pulled Luo Ling, and asked about the killing of the fog beast that day. This little girl now sticks to Luo Ling whenever she has the chance. Luo Ling herself didn't feel anything, but the look in Gu Nantian's eyes when he looked at the two of them was particularly strange.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and a large group of people gathered, seemingly arguing about something. Luo Ling and Gu Nanxin hurried over, and saw from a distance that Gu Nantian was arguing with a man of similar age. Gu Nanxin looked and said in surprise, "It turned out to be Sun Qi from the Sun family!"

Luo Ling turned around and looked at Gu Nanxin: "Xin'er, do you know that person?"

Gu Nanxin said with a bit of displeasure: "Humph, that man is called Sun Qi, from the Sun family in the county city, and he always opposes our Gu family. It can be said that our two families are mortal enemies."

After walking forward into the crowd, Luo Ling and Gu Nanxin squeezed to the front. Gu Nanxin said sarcastically: "Oh, this is a dog-skin plaster. Why can we see it everywhere we go?"

When Sun Qi heard what Gu Nanxin said, his angry face became even more ferocious, and he said fiercely: "You stupid girl, don't let me catch you, otherwise you will be in trouble."

Gu Nanxin was not willing to be outdone. She made a face, stuck out her tongue, and said with a funny expression: "I'm so scared."

This action directly confused Luo Ling. She didn't expect Gu Nanxin to have such a naughty and cute side. At this time, Gu Nantian said angrily: "Sun Qi, it was obviously me who booked the boat first. You maliciously raised the price and violated the rules of the industry."

Sun Qi said disdainfully: "What industry rules? We merchants all go by the highest bidder. How can this be considered a violation of industry rules?"

The captain of the ship was terrified and said quickly, "Young Masters, I think it would be better if each of us gets half of the ship."

Gu Nantian and Sun Qi glanced fiercely at the captain at the same time and said in unison: "You have nothing to do here, wait on the side."

The captain looked aggrieved, but dared not speak out. These two were young masters of big families in the county, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Gu Nantian and Sun Qi argued for a while, and finally decided to decide the order through a duel. Each side would send a capable fighter, and the winner would be decided by one person. Then they went their separate ways to arrange their own people.

Gu Nantian called everyone together and explained the origin of the matter. Then he prepared to compete himself. Luo Ling used the Qi-reading technique to see that Gu Nantian was an early stage 7-star warrior, while Sun Qi was an early stage 8-star warrior, a difference of one star. Then Luo Ling said, "Brother Gu, how about I take your place? I think Sun Qi is already an 8-star warrior."

Gu Nantian had a look of surprise on his face and said, "Eight stars, so fast, it was the same as me before." Then he said with determination, "Brother Luo, I can't trouble you with this matter."
