Chapter 40: Practicing Drawing Talismans
Just when Chu Chen was drawing the talisman, the true qi in his dantian suddenly flowed out, as if being drawn by the talisman pen, and along his right hand, it was about to merge into the talisman paper.
This was completely different from what Lu Qinghou described.
He was shocked and his heart was in turmoil, which led to Chu Chen's first attempt to draw the talisman ending in failure.
"What's going on?"
Chu Chen frowned and thought about the reason.
Soon, he had a guess.
When Lu Qinghou drew the talisman, he extracted his spirit, energy and spirit, perhaps because he had no martial arts skills and no true qi in his body.
Chu Chen was a congenital warrior with true qi in his body. When drawing the talisman, he would not extract his spirit, energy and spirit, but would extract true qi instead.
"Perhaps, my situation is the correct way to draw the talisman?"
Chu Chen pondered.
Immediately, he put this question behind him.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Drawing talismans is a completely new path. It is impossible to figure out the reason by just thinking. If you want to explore the secrets, draw a cleansing talisman yourself and compare it with the cleansing talisman drawn by Lu Qinghou, and you will know the difference.
"Hu~"
Chu Chen took a deep breath, took out another talisman paper, silently chanted the meditation mantra, and calmed his mind.
He started drawing talismans for the second time.
This time he was nervous and serious. When he put down the pen, the true energy surged out of the dantian again, through his right hand, through the tip of the pen, and merged into the talisman paper as the talisman pen moved.
"Puff!"
A ball of fire rose again, burning the talisman paper into ashes.
Drawing talismans, failed again.
"Trouble, the speed and size of the true energy output will also affect the success or failure of drawing talismans."
Chu Chen looked at the ashes on the table and had a headache.
The difficulty of making talismans is far greater than he imagined. The output of true energy must always be kept in a uniform and stable state, otherwise, the talisman paper will spontaneously combust.
"Come again."
Chu Chen still didn't believe it. A small cleaning talisman could still stump him.
He took out another piece of talisman paper and continued to try to draw the talisman. He calmed down and repeated the steps he had done before.
However.
Twenty times in a row, all ended in failure.
"I must take a break."
Chu Chen rubbed his eyebrows to relieve the pain in his brain.
Drawing talismans is not without depleting his energy and spirit, but it is less than Lu Qinghou's talisman drawing.
Drawing too many talismans will also make him exhausted.
However, this is not a troublesome matter. He only needs to rest for a night or practice the Soul Refining Technique several times.
The Soul Refining Technique has a great recovery effect on mental loss.
At the same time, after drawing talismans, practicing the Soul Refining Technique also has a certain promoting effect. The superposition of the two forms a positive promotion.
A month later, the Soul Refining Technique finally entered the door, and Chu Chen's mental power increased greatly.
When drawing talismans, the control of true energy and the concentration of the mind are also more handy.
Two months later, Chu Chen finally succeeded in drawing the first cleaning talisman.
"It's really different."
Chu Chen put the cleaning talisman he drew on the table and compared it with the cleaning talisman drawn by Lu Qinghou.
At a glance, you can see the difference between the two.
The cleaning talisman he drew has clear lines and is more lustrous, while the cleaning talisman drawn by Lu Qinghou has dull lines.
"Let's see the effect."
He picked up the cleaning talisman he drew, injected true energy into it, and it ignited without wind and quickly turned into ashes.
An invisible force touched it, and the clothes on his body immediately became clean as new.
Then, he changed another set of clothes and used the cleaning talisman drawn by Lu Qinghou.
Comparing the two, Chu Chen concluded that the cleaning ability of the cleaning talisman he drew was stronger than that of the cleaning talisman drawn by Lu Qinghou.
After thinking about it, Chu Chen drew another cleaning talisman and compared it with the cleaning talisman drawn by Lu Qinghou, and finally determined that the cleaning talisman he drew was more effective.
"This is just a single piece of evidence, and we need to continue to try and verify it."
Chu Chen's eyes were stern, and he did not make a hasty conclusion.
After successfully drawing the cleansing talisman, he began to study the divine power talisman. He wanted to see if the divine power talisman he drew was stronger than the divine power talisman drawn by Lu Qinghou.
If so, it can be basically determined that the talisman drawn with true energy has a stronger effect.
The divine power talisman is more complicated than the cleansing talisman, and it is much more difficult to draw.
Chu Chen once again devoted himself to the great cause of drawing talismans.
…
Uro City.
The Prince of Wei's Mansion.
The most eye-catching place in the Great Yan Kingdom now, everyone is paying attention to this place.
Three months ago, a news that the Prince of Wei was about to break through the Xiantian realm spread in the Great Yan Kingdom, which immediately caused an uproar.
Whether it was the official figures of the Great Yan or the figures in the rivers and lakes, they were all shocked.
Everyone understood that if the Prince of Wei broke through the Xiantian realm, it would have a huge impact on the Great Yan.
After the news came out, assassins sneaked into the Prince of Wei's Mansion almost every day, trying to assassinate the Prince of Wei.
No one from Emperor Hongguang, King Kang, King Jin, or other forces that have grudges against King Wei wants King Wei to break through the Xiantian realm, even King Kang and King Jin, who are on the same front as King Wei to some extent.
But all these assassins failed.
Long before the news came out, the Wei Palace was heavily guarded, and King Wei also transferred a lot of marrow-refining warriors.
"Tsk tsk, 8,000 Beiliang soldiers have been transferred here, and they are not afraid of any unusual movements from the barbarians in the north."
"What does the unusual movement of the barbarians mean? For King Wei, the most important thing now is to break through the Xiantian realm."
"As long as you break through the Xiantian realm, let alone the threat of the barbarians, even if it is Emperor Hongguang..."
"Hush, keep quiet, be careful of the Jinyiwei's ears and eyes!"
In the restaurant outside the Prince of Wei's Mansion, a group of martial artists were chatting and laughing, drinking and looking at the Prince of Wei's Mansion from time to time.
There are all kinds of people here, people who are having fun, spies who are looking for information, and assassins who are waiting for an opportunity to attack.
The people in the Prince of Wei's Mansion have thought about expelling this group of martial artists, but the people in the martial arts world are always bold and don't care about the threats from the Prince of Wei's Mansion. After one wave is driven away, another wave comes.
In the end, the Prince of Wei's Mansion simply doesn't care.
"Sir, the spy in the Prince of Wei's Mansion has spread the news that the Prince of Wei's retreat is in a secret room in the backyard of the Prince of Wei's Mansion, but the backyard is too heavily guarded and the spy can't get close."
In a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, a man in black knelt on one knee and reported to Xue Haichao.
A few years later, Xue Haichao is no longer as decadent as before. He sits upright on the chair with a heavy momentum like a mountain.
"Do you have a specific location?"
Xue Haichao shook the wine glass in his hand and did not look at the man in black.
"No."
The man in black's answer made Xue Haichao's movements pause.
"Is this the news you brought back?"
Xue Haichao's voice was very calm, so calm that it was a little scary.
"The defense of the Prince of Wei's mansion is too tight. Please give me a few more days. I will definitely find out the specific location of the Prince of Wei's retreat."
The man in black trembled and said hurriedly.
"You spent three months and lost a lot of Jinyiwei's hidden men to bring back such a news. Do you want me to give you a few more days?"
Xue Haichao asked casually.
"Your subordinates..."
The man in black trembled even more. He wanted to say something, but stopped abruptly.
Blood spurted out, and a head rolled to the ground.
On the seat.
Xue Haichao had just put his sword back into the sheath.
