Practice begins with immortality

Deep in the Luoxia Mountains, in a dense forest, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. Wang Bai stood on the branch of a large tree, his eyes fixed sharply on a flock of golden pheasants ahead.

The feathers of these five-colored pheasants were brilliant and colorful, like multicolored gems. However, they were low-level demon beasts, most of whom were only at the first or second level of Qi Refining. However, the leader of this group of five-colored pheasants was different, possessing a powerful strength close to that of the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Generally speaking, ordinary individual monster hunters would choose to avoid such a group of five-colored pheasants, because fighting them could bring huge risks.

However, Wang Bo is no ordinary demon hunter. He has already mastered the magic he has learned to the extreme, and can cast it instantly and exert its maximum power.

Wang Bai swung his right hand, and a sharp golden light shot out like lightning, instantly striking the head of the Golden Pheasant leader. A flash of golden light passed, and the head of the Golden Pheasant leader fell to the ground, blood gushing out. Immediately afterwards, Wang Bai unleashed several more Sharp Gold Techniques, and golden light intertwined in the air like a web, accurately striking the other Golden Pheasants. The monsters fell to the ground, their life force rapidly fading. Wang Bai lightly leaped from the tree and placed the Golden Pheasant's corpse into his storage bag.

"I've been in Luoxia Mountains for four days, and today I finally got something." Wang Bai said, looking at the storage bag in his hand.

Half a minute later, Wang Bai arrived at a spiritual material shop in the inner area of ​​Chiyufang City, which is commonly known as a grocery store for cultivators.

The shop was filled with a dazzling array of spiritual herbs, minerals, and other precious materials, emitting a rich spiritual aura. Wang Bai walked into the shop and explained his purpose to the clerk. Soon, an old man in a gray robe came out.

"Hello, fellow Taoist. My last name is Wu, and I'm the manager of this spiritual material shop. I wonder what spiritual materials you want to sell?" Manager Wu asked with a smile.

Wang Bai didn't say anything. He took out the body of the five-colored pheasant from the storage bag and placed it neatly on the counter.

When Manager Wu saw the corpses of these five-colored pheasants, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he said, "So they are five-colored pheasants. It seems that you are both strong and lucky. One five-colored pheasant is two spirit stones, the leader is six spirit stones, and there are ten in total, so the total is twenty-four spirit stones. Keep it, fellow pheasant." As he said, he took out twenty-four spirit stones from the counter and handed them to Wang Bai.

Wang Bai took the spirit stone and put it into his storage bag. He then looked at Manager Wu and said, "Thank you, Manager Wu. By the way, Manager Wu, does your shop have any materials for making talismans?"

"Of course there is. Why do you ask this? Are you a famous talisman master?"

"No, I just want to learn a technique to earn spirit stones for cultivation."

"Oh, I see." A hint of disappointment flashed across the eyes of the manager surnamed Wu, but then disappeared without a trace.

"Fellow Daoist, one portion of first-grade talisman-making materials costs five spirit stones. One portion of materials can be used to make ten talismans. One talisman pen costs twelve spirit stones, so the total price is seventeen spirit stones. Fellow Daoist just sold some spirit materials in our store today, so I'll round it up to fifteen spirit stones."

Afterwards, Wang Bai paid the spirit stones, picked up his things and left. On the way back, Wang Bai used three more spirit stones to buy three kilograms of spirit rice.

At night, in Wang Bo's house, Wang Bo was drawing a talisman. As the foreshadowing fell, the talisman was completed.

"After failing three times, I finally succeeded in drawing this low-grade fire talisman." Wang Bai sighed. Although Wang Bai has learned all the theoretical things, mistakes are inevitable in actual operation.

Then Wang Bai used the remaining six materials to draw talismans, and all of them were successful.

"A fire talisman costs half a spirit stone. Even if all ten attempts are successful, it can only barely make back the investment. It's just a first-grade low-grade spirit talisman. If I can draw the remaining two kinds of spirit talismans and sell them, then practicing in the Qi Refining Stage will not be a problem." Wang Bai said excitedly.

The initial explanation of the way of talismans written by Zhang Mo recorded three kinds of spiritual talismans, namely the first-grade low-grade fire talisman, the first-grade mid-grade flying sword talisman, and the first-grade high-grade lightning-inducing talisman.

"A first-grade, mid-grade talisman can be sold for about five spirit stones, while a lightning-inducing talisman with power comparable to a top-grade talisman can be sold for ten or even more. It seems that the future of talisman making is really bright!"
