My family is cultivating immortality, I am working on resources in another world
Chapter 5 Carving Talismans
They come, the security.
Since there is no way to get rid of it, you can only obey and do it.
Taking the talisman pen handed to him by the old man, Jiang Ming tentatively drew a light stroke on the talisman paper.
But I felt a strong sense of exhaustion.
It's not that the body is tired and slacking off, but that the mind is trying to shirk responsibility.
For Jiang Ming, drawing talismans is like using telekinesis. His scarce mental strength is obviously not enough to support him in carving talismans.
If this continued, even though he had enough physical strength, he still couldn't put pen to paper.
Seeing Jiang Ming struggling, the old man shook his head and sneered, then interrupted him and sighed softly.
“Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can choose to focus on physical cultivation or on improving their spiritual strength.
However, drawing talismans is different. If you want to carve a high-quality talisman, you not only need strong mental strength, but also a strong body!
And you, you have nothing. I am very curious, how do you want to inherit my legacy?"
Jiang Ming wiped the sweat off his face and put down the talisman pen after hearing this.
Looking at the densely packed runes on the talisman paper, he thought for a moment and replied calmly.
"You're right, I do have average talent, but I'm willing to use my persistence and hard work to revitalize the Jiang family!
If I have nothing, I will fill it with my life!"
Raising his eyebrows, the old man smiled noncommittally.
But my heart was quite touched, and my rotten heart came back to life like a dead tree in spring.
Looking at the young man's persistent look, he vaguely remembered himself who was once devoted to Taoism.
I am so young and naive, I don't know what to do.
He gently placed his hand on Jiang Ming's shoulder, and a pure mental power immediately enveloped him like water.
The gentle force made his mind unusually clear, his mental strength almost doubled, and he felt a sudden sense of clarity in his mind.
Jiang Ming looked at the old man in surprise. He knew that such great power would inevitably be accompanied by many sacrifices.
Without a trace of regret, the old man stared at Jiang Ming and said with a broad-minded expression.
"I am a remnant soul, and I won't be able to stay in this world for long.
Before disappearing, I want to witness the perseverance and hard work of future generations?"
His heart warmed, Jiang Ming nodded heavily, and looked at the old man respectfully.
"Please teach me how to draw talismans!"
Without any hesitation, the old man began to demonstrate immediately.
His hands moved as slowly as a snail, and he showed Jiang Ming every stroke clearly.
"Unlike refining pills, if you make a mistake you'll just waste the materials, and at worst the furnace will explode.
Drawing talismans is a communication between spiritual energy and heaven and earth. If you make a mistake, you will suffer backlash, so it is better to draw slowly than to rush! "
The old man carefully carved the talisman while patiently giving instructions.
He listed all the losses he had suffered in detail and taught them all to Jiang Ming along with the methods and techniques.
For him, the talisman that could have been made in the blink of an eye now took him a full half hour.
Although he didn't quite understand it, but from the old man's experience, Jiang Ming finally figured out the key to drawing talismans, which is copying!
Just like writing an article, all the articles throughout history are just plagiarism.
Only by learning to copy first can you better understand writing.
Jiang Ming spread out the finished talisman carved by the old man and placed it under the blank talisman paper. He began to copy along the lines with extremely slow movements.
As the old man emphasized, we don’t seek quick success, but we must make the right mistakes!
This talisman is quite difficult and is actually a bit beyond Jiang Ming's level.
Every stroke of the pen is a huge test to the spirit.
His head felt like it was on fire, and the worry of making mistakes made him uneasy.
In such a bad situation, although every move was made with caution, the accident still happened.
Jiang Ming made a major mistake before he finished copying half of it, and drew two important runes incorrectly!
There was no time to retract the spiritual power in the talisman. In a flash, Jiang Ming's body was enveloped by a golden lightning.
The power of thunder is majestic and vast, revealing a sense of holiness.
The sharp lightning exploded in front of Jiang Ming, and it shot straight into his eyebrows before he could even react.
If the old man had not protected him, he would have been struck by lightning today. Looking at the power just now, he might have been in danger of death!
Having just recovered from the shock, Jiang Ming looked at the old man in confusion and couldn't help but ask about the origin of the talisman.
In his opinion, although the old man had a high level of cultivation, he did not seem like a powerful person who could attract heavenly thunder. There must be something else strange about this talisman paper.
His old face flushed slightly, and without hiding it from Jiang Ming, the old man picked up the talisman with a frank expression.
“This talisman was indeed not created by me, but is a treasure I discovered in a secret place.
The powerful person who left this item behind liked to steal people's beauty and often used this talisman to attract thunder and lead monks out of their caves.
Then he took the opportunity to sneak in and commit indecent acts against his wife..."
Realizing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the old man coughed lightly a few times to explain himself.
"Don't look at me like that, I've never used it like that!
I just improved it slightly and turned it into a life-saving killing weapon.
Using your blood and essence to activate this talisman will bring about a thunderstorm, resulting in a powerful blow that is almost unstoppable for anyone at the same level, resulting in either death or injury!
After listening to the old man's explanation, Jiang Ming had a general understanding of this talisman.
The principle is to attract the thunder tribulation in advance, and then throw it out quickly, allowing the thunder tribulation to attack and kill the enemy.
I have to say, this method is really clever.
Allowing someone to undergo a tribulation prematurely is like forcing a premature chick to hatch, and the outcome is naturally death.
"If you have the chance in the future, you can go to Tianmu Mountain in Dongzhou to take a look. The ruins may still be there."
After saying this, the old man changed the subject and returned to the main topic.
He began to list Jiang Ming's mistakes and pointed out the problem directly.
"Drawing talismans requires boldness, carefulness, and spirit. You were so timid just now, afraid of making mistakes, how could you carve a talisman with spirit?
Try to draw a few more times, I won't be able to protect you for long!"
Remembering the old man's advice, Jiang Ming summed up his experience and lessons, and raced against time to carve the talisman again.
This time it was obviously much more streamlined, with no mistakes from beginning to end.
However, when the talisman was activated, it was like a useless piece of white paper, fluttering in the wind and being completely useless.
"All show, but not the spirit!" the old man criticized with a stern face, and then demonstrated the process again himself.
"Remember, you must inject spiritual energy into it when carving the talisman!
Although the feeling of spiritual energy flowing through talisman paper and being injected into talisman paper is similar, the effects are vastly different.
If you can draw talismans like this, even a three-year-old child can be a talisman master, so what's the point of you?"
Although this statement is not polite, it hits the point directly.
Jiang Ming was indeed anxious just now. He was only concerned with completing the talisman and ignored the most important process.
No wonder it was completed so smoothly.
Spreading out a new talisman paper, Jiang Ming gritted his teeth again and started over.
Struck by lightning, start over;
If a step is missing, try again!
In a few hours, he repeated the same action nearly a hundred times, like a machine, completely tireless.
……
After repeated failures, Jiang Ming's engraving movements became faster and more skillful.
There are no more mistakes in the injection of spiritual energy, it really is a divine writing!
But the fatigue from the heart was still unavoidable. After completing the talisman, beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his skin.
My arms were aching unbearably, as if I had done a day of hard labor.
He looked weak and dejected, as if exhausted, with a listless look on his face.
Looking at the golden and perfect talisman on the desk.
The old man couldn't help but be dazed. He chuckled with relief, and a soft look appeared in his eyes.
"Young man, you have passed my test. I am relieved to give this talisman to you!
When your realm is improved in the future, you can add runes to increase its power, but you must remember that this rune should not be used lightly.
Because the thunder tribulation has no intelligence, if it has energy left after killing the enemy, it will wipe you out as well..."
The sound gradually became weaker and gradually stopped.
After completing the test, the illusion will naturally be lifted.
The old man who was deposited there also came to the end of his life.
This remnant soul stayed quietly in the same place with a smile on its face, without making a sound.
It quietly turned into light smoke and disappeared with the breeze.
Jiang Ming's hand gently grabbed at the air, but as expected, it came up empty.
His throat rolled, and he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, then bowed deeply to the stone bed with a serious expression!
With a thought, he returned to the family ancestral hall in the blink of an eye.
It was getting late and the sun was setting in the west.
The bright red glow brings in the night, waiting for the next dawn...
