The fish fat was a bit like the lard from his previous life, it was a milky white coagulated substance. Guo Shier took out a charm mold, it was half the size of an adult's palm, and one finger thick. He carefully filled it with fish fat, scraped it with a jade piece, and then took out a pile of purified materials, most of which were liquid and powder.
First, he used a slender charm needle to carve on the flat charm mold, repeated several times, and finally carved a satisfactory dark charm. Then he picked up a crystal bottle, and took out a dropper. The dropper was made by himself according to the memory of his previous life, there was no such tool here.
The slender dropper extracted solidified liquid from the crystal bottle, quickly filled the dent of the charm, and then sprayed a layer of reactive liquid, the whole charm mold boiled.
A large amount of white mist rose up, and a strong fishy smell assailed his nostrils. Guo Shier squinted his eyes and carefully observed. Making a dark charm was completely different from an offensive charm, it was very simple, as long as the steps were good, and the materials were purified relatively clean, it could generally be successful.
Guo Shier quietly waited, about ten minutes later, the dark charm in the charm mold shrunk, it shrunk to the size of a mahjong tile, and the thickness of a cardboard, a semi-finished dark charm was completed.
Picking up the semi-finished dark charm, Guo Shier had a strange feeling, this thing was like a piece of soft plastic. After a careful examination, he believed that this step had been successful.
Taking out a few kinds of spirit grass that he got from his master, Guo Shier began to purify. There was a special purification tool here, it was very convenient to extract the liquefied spirit grass essence.
During this period, Guo Shier made a few semi-finished dark charms, a total of five, and placed them on the stone table.
He put the spirit grass essence drop by drop on the dark charm, and then added a drop of reactive liquid. In just an hour, Guo Shier made five one-time dark charms.
However, for the time being, Guo Shier did not dare to use it on himself, but put it aside, he planned to go to his master's house next time, and let the old man identify it. After all, it was his own charm, he still had to be careful.
The advantage of making dark charm was that only a small amount of charm power was used, Guo Shier could make at least fifteen dark charms. If he were to make an offensive single-use talisman, he would only be able to make three of them. Therefore, after completing five Hidden Talismans, he made two more One-Time Attack Talismans. This was a daily task, he was accumulating low-level one-time charms.
Since Guo Shier didn't need to sell talismans to raise the materials, he carefully kept the one-time-use talismans he made. So far, he had more than 200 talismans. Even a one-time charm was worth more than ten thousand black charm money. Of course, Guo Shier did not intend to sell these charms.
In addition to making talismans, he also wanted to learn how to control talismans, and learn how to use attack talismans, this was the specialty of the Curse Profession. From the very beginning, he had decided that he wanted to develop and improve talismans together. Merely learning how to make talismans was far from enough.
Guo Shier quickly practiced the sixth set of movements a few times, and then he connected the movements from the first set to the sixth set, quickly replenishing the talisman power that he had lost. The excess talisman power was absorbed by his soul.
Luo Zhan was the second Talisman Martial Master sent by Luo Jie. He was different from Luo Luo, he did not have a personal team, but was alone. In other words, he was a simple follower.
Luo Zhan was the second Talisman Martial Master that Luo Jie had sent. He was different from Luo Luo. He did not have his own personal team, but was alone. In other words, he was a pure follower. Of course, he was borrowed, so he was not Guo Shi 'er's follower. He was temporarily responsible for protecting Guo Shi' er.
Bringing Luo Zhan and two other Talisman Martial Masters, Guo Shier walked out of the house. Luo Zhan asked, "Shier, do you need a carriage?"
Guo Shier smiled, "Uncle Luo, no need. I'll go to the talisman city and see what new books are in the library. Maybe I can find some special old books."
The talisman city was the inner sect's trading market. There were many talisman cities in the inner sect. The area where the Talisman Martial Masters lived was one of the largest talisman cities in the inner sect. There was also a famous talisman city located in the talisman warrior area. Because of the specialty of the talisman warrior profession, they were destined to be the main force of trade. Not only did they need all kinds of materials, they also needed to sell the talismans they made.
Recently, Guo Shier had become a frequent visitor to the talisman city. His favorite place to go was the library. Sometimes there would be new books, but there would also be large amounts of old books. What he loved the most was to find old books. Not only were they cheap, but there were all kinds of books. Because the professions in this world were very clear, and the branches were also very clear, there were many books that recorded the content of the professions. As a reincarnated person, reading was the best choice to understand this world.
The library was a lively place in Talisman City. Not only were there apprentices, but there were also some important people. Everyone was equal in the library. It was a skill to find good books, but it was normal to not be able to find them. The library was a place to relax.
The library was made of blue stone. All the wooden structures had fire protection talismans. There were all kinds of books on the chopping boards, and most of the books on the shelves were talisman books. There were also some more precious books.
There were many rattan chairs placed in the spacious hall. People sat in groups of two or three to read.
Guo Shier entered the library and walked towards the pile of books. Luo Zhan and the others sat on the rattan chairs and waited. An old man saw Guo Shier enter and immediately went up to greet him. He smiled and said, "Shier, how come you have time to come here today?"
The old man had lost an arm, and there were two twisted scars on his face. He was blind in one eye, and his smile looked a bit terrifying. He was the owner of the library and had once been a talisman master. He had been heavily injured in battle, and his life talisman had exploded. He had been lucky and kept his life, but his cultivation had dropped to talisman warrior. Adding on the fact that he had lost an arm, he could not use many talismans, so he had opened this library in the talisman city.
Guo Shier was very familiar with him. He smiled and said, "Hello, Grandpa An. Are there any good books these days?"
The old man's surname was An, and his name was An Zhengyan. It was said that he had the blood of the Southern Border's aborigines. He laughed and said, "Shier, as usual, look for it yourself. However, there is a new book recently written by the great talisman master Fu Qing. It is distributed by the inner sect. Hehe, there are many people buying it. Go take a look."
Guo Shier happily asked, "Where is it? Let me see … "
An Zhengyan took out a book from the cabinet behind him and handed it to Guo Shier. He said, "Take a look yourself. Hehe, it is not cheap."
"Insect Talisman and Plant Talisman? What talisman is this? "
An Zhengyan said, "Insect Talisman and Plant Talisman are special talismans of the Southern Talisman Sect. They are different from our Northern Fu Men. There is no harm in you understanding them."
Guo Shier nodded and asked, "How much?"
"Forty-seven large talisman coins."
Guo Shier was speechless. He said, "Why is it so expensive?"
An Zhengyan smiled and said, "This is a book written by a great talisman master. It is not expensive."
Guo Shier smiled bitterly. He said, "Grandpa An, this is not expensive? Poor poor apprentice like me."
An Zhengyan said, "Don't cry about being poor. Who doesn't know that you are a disciple of a great talisman master? Oh, right, it is still the same old rule. Apprentices can get a 20% discount when buying new books. Minus the change, you will pay thirty-seven black talisman coins."
Guo Shier took out his money bag and paid thirty-seven black talisman coins. He was never stingy when it came to buying books. Of course, it was necessary to complain about being poor.
He gave the new book to Luo Zhan. Then he plunged into the pile of old books and began to search for books. Old books were very cheap. They were his favorite. A dozen old books might only cost one large talisman coin. Almost every time he went, he would take dozens of books with him.
Guo Shier picked out a dozen old books and put them beside him. He was still flipping through a book in his hand. The conversation between two people next to him aroused his interest.
"Have you signed up? The registration to go to Ye Guancheng has begun! "
"No, I am an apprentice. The battle of Ye Guancheng is not for us apprentices to participate!"
"Who said so? The battle at the beginning of spring must be very fierce. We are apprentices. We can't go directly, but we can observe. Hehe, I haven't seen barbarians yet. I will go and see … If I can kill a few, I will have done a meritorious deed. I can get a reward from the school. I signed up yesterday … I saw a lot of apprentices going. "
"Forget it. You are just an apprentice. How much ability do you have? Although you are an apprentice with the potential to become a spell master, you don't even have a few single-use talismans. You want to go and be eaten by the barbarians? "
"I am not going to the battlefield. How can I be eaten by the barbarians? I am just going to learn and observe. So that when I advance to a spell master, I won't be sent to Ye Guancheng again … I don't know anything. That would be terrible …"
"… You have the potential to become a spell master. Later … participate in the battle … of course … I have the potential to become a spell master …"
"…"
The two people left the library. Their voices gradually became indistinct. Guo Shier came to An Zhengyan's side and asked: "Grandpa An, what kind of place is Ye Guancheng?"
"Ye Guancheng? Why are you asking about Ye Guancheng? "
Guo Shier said: "Just now I heard about apprentice registration, going to Ye Guancheng to observe and observe, and also some barbarians. Hehe, I am a little curious."
An Zhengyan's face became gloomy. He said: "Ye Guancheng is the northernmost city. It is next to the barbarian pass. Every spring, it will be attacked by a large number of barbarians. One of the most important tasks of the Northern Fu Men is to resist the barbarian's invasion. That place … is a bloody place. Countless disciples of the Northern Fu Men have died there."
Guo Shier had also heard some things about Ye Guancheng. However, he was focused on training and learning. He didn't know much about it. He nodded and said: "So that's how it is."
An Zhengyan asked: "Do you also plan to go to Ye Guancheng?"
Guo Shier was not that hot-blooded. He knew that he didn't have the ability to protect himself. He said: "I don't plan to go. I am just curious."
An Zhengyan nodded: "Ye Guancheng … is not an auspicious place."
Guo Shier sorted out the books he chose. After paying, he was ready to leave.
"Shier! Shier! Ah, it wasn't easy to find you! "
Huo Bao and Hong Shi rushed in. Guo Shier said: "Why are you so flustered?"
"Grandfather Luo is looking for you. He wants you to go to his house."
Guo Shier said: "Master is looking for me? Did he say what happened? "
Hong Shi said: "He didn't say. He just wants you to bring us there. Chen Bing and Chen Hong are already outside Fu City in a carriage. They are waiting for us to leave together."
Guo Shier nodded. He called over Luo Zhan and two Seal Warriors to follow. He then bid farewell to An Zhengyan.
Sitting on the carriage, the group quickly arrived at Luo Jie's house. Guo Shier was already very familiar with his master's house. He also recognized the Seal Warriors at the door. The group didn't need to be announced and directly walked in.
Luo Jie was waiting in the house. Guo Shier brought his four companions in. He bowed and said: "Master, I am here."
"Shier, do you know about the apprentices going to Ye Guancheng?"
Guo Shier said in shock: "Master, I just heard about it in the library of Fu City."
Luo Jie said: "I helped you sign up. The five of you will go together. Luo Zhan will go as well."
Guo Shier was puzzled. "Master, I am only nine … isn't it too young to go to Ye Guancheng?" He didn't want to go at all. If he stayed in the inner sect, he could focus on cultivation. He didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he didn't have to sleep in the open. He knew the hardships of the outside world.
Luo Jie said: "It's not for you to fight. It's just for you to experience life and complete a few small missions. If possible … you can also watch the Seal War and get used to the cruelty of battle. Are you not willing to go?"
Guo Shier could only smile bitterly. How could he refuse? He asked: "When are we going?"
