My Optimized Immortal Life
Chapter 4: Ice Arrow Talisman
"I didn't expect that he would die from lack of mana."
Looking at the failed talisman on the table, Chen Qing smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he didn't make any mistakes in the drawing process, but died from insufficient magic power.
That's true. After all, he had just started optimizing, and most of his mana was consumed in optimization. Although the mana required to draw talismans was not much, Chen Qing really had no mana left.
Helpless Chen Qing could only sit back on the bed and practice his skills to absorb external spiritual energy and convert it into his own magic power.
This process took about the time of an incense stick, which was much faster than before. This was also due to the optimized "Fire Power".
After recovering his magic power, Chen Qing started again.
This time it went much more smoothly. Chen Qing drew a water arrow talisman and placed it on the wooden table. The patterns on the talisman also emitted some magical fluctuations.
Holding the ice arrow talisman in his hand, he looked at it in front of his eyes. Comparing it with the ice arrow talisman in his memory, Chen Qing felt that this ice arrow talisman was pretty good. He put it in the storage bag and started drawing talismans again.
After using up all the remaining talisman papers, Chen Qing got a total of five ice arrow talismans. During this period, because he was so excited about drawing, Chen Qing tried to draw two talismans with one stroke. The first one was successful, but the second one failed at the beginning.
It seems that my current attainments are not enough to play with these fancy things.
Chen Qing scratched his head and put the drawn talisman back into the storage bag, preparing to find an opportunity to sell it at the Maple Valley Market in exchange for some spirit stones.
I should be considered a first-class low-grade talisman maker now, Chen Qing thought to himself.
In the world of cultivating immortals, only the talisman makers who can draw first-grade low-grade talismans are considered first-grade low-grade talisman makers. Although Chen Qing can only draw the ice arrow talisman, this talisman is also of the first-grade low-grade level. It is not a stretch to say that he is a first-grade low-grade talisman maker.
With the identity of a talisman maker, Chen Qing has broken free from the constraints of a spiritual farmer. At least he no longer has to worry about the spiritual plants in that acre of spiritual field. However, out of caution, he cannot give up the identity of a spiritual farmer at the moment. After all, Chen Qing has never had the ability to make talismans before. If he suddenly reveals it now, he may be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. He is just a small Qi Refining cultivator at the third level. Even if he is a talisman maker, he may be ambushed and killed by a robber on his way back one day, and then his life will be over.
There are countless intrigues and deceptions in the world of cultivating immortals, and caution is the first priority to save your life.
Chen Qing, who had read countless articles on cultivating immortals in his previous life, had a deep understanding of this and agreed with it very much. Now that he had come to the world of cultivating immortals, he had to follow the experience of countless predecessors.
So the plan was set, and Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to practice. After two optimizations, his current cultivation level was not far from falling to the second level of Qi Refining. If he did not practice anymore to improve his cultivation level, he would probably have to return to the second level of Qi Refining after the next optimization.
Cultivation is the foundation of immortality. Since Chen Qing has come to the world of immortal cultivation, he naturally wants to live forever and be a free and easy traveler who watches the mortal world for thousands of years.
Thus, the night passed in silence, and under Chen Qing's practice, the night passed in a flash.
The next day, Chen Qing went out at daybreak and saw that the doors and windows of He Laodao's hut were still closed, and some black waste materials were stuffed in the corner. He couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
This old Taoist He is also a man of unwavering faith. When my original self first moved in, I saw him refining the Qi-Harmonizing Pill. Four years have passed, and he still hasn't succeeded, yet he hasn't given up. He truly is a role model for cultivators of our generation.
With such a living example as Master He, Chen Qing no longer had high expectations for alchemy.
Unless he is allowed to cheat using his innate abilities, otherwise refining the elixir would be a meaningless waste of money, no, burning spirit stones.
After leaving the yard, Chen Qing went straight to the market.
Maple Valley is located at the junction of Qingyu Sect and Heishui Gate. There are many cultivators coming and going here. In addition, there is a small primary spiritual vein here, so Qingyu Sect opened a market here. Heishui Gate wanted to get involved, but due to its lack of strength, it could only watch Qingyu Sect open its business. The residences of independent cultivators like Chen Qing are set up near the market to get some spiritual energy from the spiritual vein and to be protected by the market patrol team.
Arriving at the market, Chen Qing took a look and saw wooden houses, earthen houses, large and small, scattered in the market, and many street stalls mixed in, densely packed. Countless cultivators came and went, some riding spirit beasts, some carrying big swords on their shoulders, some dressed up in all kinds of clothes, all kinds of things, extremely shocking, at least for Chen Qing.
Although I have seen these scenes in my original body's memory, the feeling is still completely different when I see them with my own eyes.
Chen Qing stood there for a while before he came to his senses, which made him look like a bumpkin who had just arrived in the city.
Ignoring the strange looks from the surrounding monks, Chen Qing stepped into the market town and blended in with the surging crowd.
What he is using now is not his original appearance, but a disguised one. In the martial arts world among mortals, there is a unique skill of changing one's appearance and body shape. Chen Qing exchanged a hundred taels of gold for this skill. After practicing it, he can change his appearance so that he will not be recognized at a glance.
After blending into the crowd, Chen Qing went to several shops to inquire about the prices of talismans. Finally, he chose one that offered a higher price and sold all five ice arrow talismans he had drawn in exchange for ten spirit stones.
Adding in the remaining spiritual stones from the original owner, Chen Qing suddenly had over twenty. The original owner's annual income from cultivating spiritual fields was only twenty spiritual stones, but now, with just five talismans, he could earn half that much. Chen Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the difficult life of a spiritual farmer. Fortunately, he no longer had to rely on farming.
After exchanging the spirit stones, Chen Qing bought a batch of materials for making talismans. With the spirit stone earning
After mastering his craft, he certainly wants to learn more.
After purchasing enough talisman-making materials to draw about twenty talismans, Chen Qing only had seven or eight spirit stones left. He bought an Ice Arrow Talisman to see the difference between the Ice Arrow Talisman after his optimization and the ones drawn by other talisman masters. After all, he remembered that he had deduced the missing parts of the Ice Arrow Talisman by himself. Although this was the effect of his innate ability, Chen Qing himself had never thought that he could deduce the correct drawing method with just a fragment. He just wanted to see the difference between the Ice Arrow Talisman after being optimized by his innate ability and the original normal talisman.
Chen Qing had almost spent all his spirit stones, and he had nothing to do. He strolled around the market for a while, watching and listening to some cultivators' conversations. After gaining some understanding of the current situation in the world of immortal cultivation, Chen Qing left the market and returned to his residence.
Walking into the courtyard, the doors and windows of Taoist He's house were still closed. Chen Qing shook his head secretly. The other party had been refining the Qi Pill for so long but had never succeeded. The possibility of him refining it now was very small. Of course, if the other party could really refine it, it would be completely different.
The Heqi Pill is a pill used by Qi-refining cultivators to improve their magical powers. It is extremely effective. If Taoist He can really refine it, then it will not be difficult for him to live in the Fenglin Valley Market.
Putting these thoughts behind him, Chen Qing stopped thinking about it and walked back to his cabin.
