Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality

"Senior Feng Yu, this should be done by shrinking the talisman paper, making a special talisman, and then sticking it on the feather arrow, right?"

Li Fengyu nodded and said with a hint of emotion, "Young friend, you are indeed clever. My friend...tried everything before finally coming up with this method. However, this method also has its limitations. The power of the talismans is only one tenth of what it used to be. Although it can be barely achieved by stacking them, the final effect is hard to describe."

"Although these three feather arrows were finally made, their only advantage over the feather arrow spirit weapon is their longer flight distance. As for everything else, whether it's price, reliability, or ease of production, the spirit weapon has the advantage. These feather arrows are just a young boy's novel imagination."

As he spoke, Li Fengyu sighed.

"Senior Li, I see that the talisman paper on this arrow is made of first-grade talisman paper. Why not use second-grade talisman paper that has better spiritual power conductivity?" He Ling asked with some confusion.

Li Fengyu glanced at He Ling speechlessly, "My friend, do you know what the current market price of this second-level talisman paper is?"

He Ling was stunned. She really didn't know this. According to her understanding, it was just one grade lower. Even if it was expensive, how much could it be? Although the yield of the black bamboo she planted herself was low, the yield of other spiritual bamboos was not necessarily low. If it was planted like ordinary spiritual hemp, even if the output rate of talisman paper produced by spiritual bamboo was low, the quantity should still be quite a lot.

Li Fengyu saw He Ling's stunned look, but he was not surprised. "The current market price for a second-level talisman paper is about one thousand spirit stones."

He Ling was shocked, and couldn't believe his ears. Why was the price so different? You know, a talisman made of first-grade talisman paper is only about two spirit stones a piece, while a second-grade talisman paper costs a thousand spirit stones just for the material.

"Senior Feng Yu, why is there such a huge difference in value?"

Li Fengyu didn't keep the secret this time. "My friend, do you know how long it takes for the lucky bamboo, the raw material used to make second-level talisman paper, to mature?"

This time, without waiting for He Ling's reply, he continued, "The bamboo only harvests once every fifty years. Coupled with the low yield of second-level talisman paper, a single bamboo plant can only produce three or four sheets at most. This makes second-level talisman paper a rarity. Furthermore, its excellent properties and its ability to be used to make high-level talismans have led to it being essentially controlled by some of the local powerful forces, and virtually no second-level talisman paper is released."

He Ling thought about it and nodded again. When she first heard fifty years, she thought it was normal. But then she thought, even the lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator is only about four hundred and twenty years, which is only eight hundred and fifty years. Moreover, the properties of talismans destined it to be a consumable. There are many cultivators who can cast several talismans with a wave of their hands. The speed of consumption must be greater than the speed of production. In this way, high-level talismans have become scarce, and the high price has become reasonable.

However, when she heard that a piece of talisman paper cost one thousand spirit stones, He Ling felt a little angry. What kind of talisman was this? She could make a fortune by buying talisman paper. But she calmed down in an instant.

She had used too many second-level talismans. Even if she was cautious, relying on the methods used in the world of immortal cultivation, she would most likely be traced back to him. Although spirit stones were good, she had to have a life to spend them. She quickly adjusted her mentality.

He Ling bowed to Li Fengyu and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior."

Li Fengyu nodded. His excitement had passed, and his tone had calmed down again. "Well, I'm glad I could help you. I believe you've mostly understood the matter of the talisman. Do you have any questions?"

He Ling shook his head and thanked him again.

"Well, you can leave now. I have things to deal with."

..................

After bidding farewell to Li Fengyu, He Ling returned to the cave without stopping.

After taking a look at the huge running cage No. 2, she went straight to the forge and looked around. In the corner, she found the musket she had made before. She took the musket in her hand and began to disassemble it.

Li Fengyu's talisman arrow gave He Ling some inspiration. To be honest, He Ling felt that Li Fengyu was influenced by the thinking inertia of ancient thoughts. When he thought of the object that carried the talisman, he immediately thought of the common means such as the bow and arrow.

As a long-range attack weapon, the power mode of the bow and arrow ultimately relies on the longbow at the back. Even if he puts all his thoughts on the arrow, it is likely that he will not get what he wants. The reason is that the bow and arrow, which is powered by a longbow, is not suitable for talismans.

But He Ling is different. She has modern ideas. It’s not that she is smart, but they just think differently.

She only had a vague idea in her mind, and she couldn't say whether it would succeed in the end. However, it wouldn't hurt to try. She had an endless lifespan, so it didn't matter if she wasted a little time.

After removing the gun barrel separately, He Ling took out a piece of blank yellow talisman paper, cut out a thumb-sized square area, and then took out a spare talisman pen. However, after trying several times, he failed.

Finally, He Ling seemed to have thought of something. He took out another black talisman and cut it into the same size. This time, he succeeded after failing twice.

However, the spiritual power contained in it was very small. He Ling roughly felt that it was only about one tenth of the power of an ordinary fireball talisman.

But it was enough for He Ling. He put the talisman paper into the gun barrel, and then put the iron bead in again. With a trace of spiritual power, the fireball talisman in the gun barrel was ignited in an instant. A beam of fire came out of the gun barrel, spraying out a small flame of three or four meters before stopping.

However, He Ling frowned. She didn't see the iron ball being shot out. After checking the barrel, she found that the iron ball had actually melted into the barrel, and the inner wall of the barrel had become bumpy in several places.

Only then did He Ling realize that the fireball talisman was, after all, a flame driven by spiritual power, and its effect was also in the word "fire", but what He Ling needed more at this moment was the word "explosion".

Although the first attempt failed, He Ling was somewhat encouraged. She felt that her idea was quite feasible.

Afterwards, He Ling left the cave again, searched for a while, and bought a few books on fire talismans.

Most of the Five Elements Talisman Scriptures only have lower-grade yellow talismans, and there are only one or two of each type. If you want to obtain other talismans, you have to buy new talismans.

The prices of these talismans are not cheap at all, basically starting from a few thousand spirit stones, and it is common for better ones to cost tens of thousands. Fortunately, He Ling is now wealthy enough, otherwise he really couldn't afford it.

Even considering He Ling's current wealth, she felt a pang of pain. She didn't have many spirit stones left, and she was afraid that she would have to worry about them in a few days.

It is not allowed to read the talisman book, and information can only be obtained from the introduction on the side of the book. He Ling selected it and chose a few books, but he would have to try them to know whether they would help He Ling's ideas.

After flipping through it, He Ling soon found the talisman he wanted, a mid-grade yellow-level Explosive Talisman.
