Wang Changsheng picked up a red jade slip and placed it on his forehead. He then closed his eyes.
Time passed little by little.
After a quarter of an hour, Wang Changsheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes. His face revealed a thoughtful expression.
This red jade slip recorded the language of the Sea of Stars. Moreover, it was translated from the language of the Song Dynasty. It was easy to understand.
Wang Changsheng picked up the remaining two jade slips and placed them on his forehead one by one. Then, he started to look through the contents inside. One of the jade slips recorded the origin and development of the Star Sea. It also introduced the other cultivator forces and famous figures. As for the other jade slip, it recorded the species and characteristics of the demon beasts that were active in the vicinity of the Star Scattered Island.
The contents of the three jade slips were very useful for Wang Changsheng who had just arrived from the Song Dynasty.
Among them, the jade slip that recorded the language of the Sea of Stars was the most important. If one didn't know the language of this place, it would be extremely inconvenient for them to travel. Wang Changsheng intended to learn the language first.
At this moment, a knock came from outside the stone door.
Wang Changsheng's expression changed. He quickly walked over and opened the stone door. A blue-robed attendant stood outside, holding an exquisite red storage bag in his hands.
"Martial Uncle Wang, this is a hundred dozen mid-grade beast skins sent by Steward Huang." Li Yang handed over the red storage bag with a very respectful expression.
"En." Wang Changsheng nodded. He took the red storage bag and was about to close the stone door when he suddenly remembered something. He took out a blue porcelain bottle from the storage bag at his waist and threw it to Li Yang. He instructed, "This bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills is for you. Stay outside and don't disturb me. I will call you if something happens." Finished speaking, he closed the stone door.
"Many thanks for the reward." Seeing this, Li Yang was naturally overjoyed. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
After closing the stone door, Wang Changsheng walked to the stone table and sat down. He then took out several pieces of red beast skins from the red storage bag.
The red animal skin was about the same size as the talisman paper made from spirit herbs. It was slightly heavier and had a smooth surface.
This kind of talisman paper made from animal skin also required the use of spirit herbs. However, the quantity was relatively small. Of course, the biggest advantage of using animal skin to refine talisman paper was that it was cheap. One must know that the higher the grade of the talisman paper, the more difficult it was to draw it. Failure was a common thing. Wang Changsheng had spent more than ten thousand spirit stones to learn the drawing of the intermediate grade talisman paper – the Firebird Talisman.
The difficulty of drawing high-grade talismans was not just a little bit higher than that of middle-grade talismans. If the cost of refining blank talisman paper could be reduced, perhaps Wang Changsheng could afford it. The Sea of Stars was rich in demon beasts, and the price of beast hides was relatively cheap. This was also the reason why Wang Changsheng could not wait to come overseas. If it was only for the Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Flame Elixir, it would not be too late for him to come to the Sea of Stars after reaching the Great Circle of Foundation Establishment.
Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment before taking out the Fiend Vanquishing Brush and cinnabar to draw a talisman seal on the beast skin.
… ….
More than half a month's time passed quickly.
The stone door of Wang Changsheng's No.5 Talisman Crafting Room was still tightly shut, and there was not the slightest sign of it opening.
Li Yang sat beside the stone table, staring blankly at the stone door of the Talisman Crafting Room with a face full of disappointment. After he took the Qi Nourishing Pill that Wang Changsheng rewarded him, he advanced from the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm to the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm. This made him pleasantly surprised, and at the same time, he was also full of expectations for his Martial Uncle Wang Changsheng.
But what made him disappointed was that more than half a month had passed, and Wang Changsheng did not open the stone door even once. It seemed that he was cultivating in seclusion inside. He was not worried about Wang Changsheng's safety, but he wanted to get another reward from Wang Changsheng.
Just when Li Yang was about to close his eyes to rest, the stone door opened automatically with a bang, and Wang Changsheng walked out from inside with a beaming face.
Seeing this, Li Yang's face lit up with joy. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and said respectfully, "Disciple Li Yang greets Martial Uncle Wang. Does Martial Uncle have any orders? Disciple will definitely do his best to complete them. "
"Are you familiar with the situation in Xing Luo City?" Wang Changsheng asked indifferently.
"Familiar. Disciple grew up in Xing Luo City, and is extremely familiar with the situation in this city," Li Yang said confidently.
"Good. Take me to the place that sells talismans and raw materials for talismans." Wang Changsheng nodded and instructed.
"Disciple obeys. Martial Uncle, please follow me." Li Yang did not dare be negligent and hurriedly led the way for Wang Changsheng.
When they passed through the hall on the fifth floor, the bald man and the others were still drawing talismans. There were many drawn talismans on every stone table.
Suddenly, Wang Changsheng's expression changed, and he walked towards the stone table where a woman in a green dress was sitting.
The woman in the green dress looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old. Her facial features were delicate and pretty, and her skin was slightly white. She was drawing a Flying Talisman.
The Flying Talisman was composed of seventy-two wind-attribute talismans. It was one of the more difficult primary talismans to draw. At this time, there were already more than sixty wind-attribute talismans on the paper. She only needed a few more talismans to draw a Flying Talisman.
At this time, the spiritual energy on the paper became chaotic without any warning. There were faint signs of it exploding.
The woman in the green dress's face changed. She hurriedly picked up the talisman and threw it forward.
"Puff!" The failed Flying Talisman combusted in the air without any wind. It turned into a ball of fire and was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Failed again!" The woman in the green dress muttered to herself with a face full of disappointment.
"You have a problem with the sixty-second talisman. In addition, when drawing a talisman with a large number of talismans, you should maintain your spiritual energy at more than half." A strange male voice came from behind her.
Hearing this, the woman in the green dress was shocked. She hurriedly turned around and found that a blue-robed man had appeared behind her. The spiritual energy on his body was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Disciple Wang Yue greets Martial Uncle Wang." The woman in the green dress hurriedly bowed with a very respectful expression. She had already known from the bald man that this Martial Uncle Wang came from the Song Dynasty and was a newly appointed talisman master.
However, she immediately thought of something and said to Li Yang, "Junior Martial Brother Li, help me translate."
Before Li Yang had time to speak, Wang Changsheng spoke to Wang Yue in the language of the Sea of Stars, "No need to translate. I can understand what you are saying now.
In this half a month, Wang Changsheng had already learned the language of the Sea of Stars. Although he wasn't very proficient in speaking it, he had no problem communicating with people.
Wang Yue heard this and thought carefully. If Martial Uncle Wang couldn't understand what she was saying, he wouldn't have used the language of the Sea of Stars to talk to her.
"Disciple is slow-witted and has been unable to draw the Flying Talisman. I wonder if Martial Uncle Wang can demonstrate it to disciple." Wang Yue hesitated for a moment and carefully asked with a face full of expectation.
When Immortal Wang heard this, he chuckled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Wang Yue's face lit up and she hurriedly made space.
Seeing this scene, the people who were not drawing talismans all came over, wanting to see the ability of the new talisman master, Wang Changsheng. Even the bald man, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, put down his work and came over to observe.
Wang Changsheng walked to the stone table and ignored everyone's gazes. He took a deep breath and held a piece of wind spirit stone in his left hand. His right hand picked up the white talisman pen on the table, dipped it in cinnabar, and steadily started to write.
Wang Changsheng's expression was calm. One wind attribute talisman after another appeared on the talisman paper. Every stroke was clear and steady, without any pause. He was extremely skilled.
Not long after, Wang Changsheng turned his wrist and finished the last stroke.
A blue light flashed and the entire talisman paper was suffused with a faint blue light. The blue talisman characters on the paper were faintly moving.
A Flying Talisman was successfully drawn.
Seeing this scene, the bald man's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Flying Talisman composed of seventy-two talisman characters was completed. This speed was much faster than his.
Wang Changsheng's expression did not change. He put the completed Flying Talisman to the side and took a blank talisman paper. He lifted the brush and started to write.
Wind attribute talisman characters appeared one after another on the talisman paper. The second Flying Talisman was quickly drawn, using less time than the first one. Then, the third one …
The onlookers did not dare to speak, fearing that they would disturb Wang Changsheng. Wang Yue stared at Wang Changsheng's movements, fearing that she would miss something.
In less than an hour, there were already ten Flying Talismans that were suffused with a blue light on the stone table.
"Come, you try. Pay attention to the direction of the sixty-second talisman character," Wang Changsheng said as he handed the brush to Wang Yue and gave up his seat.
Seeing this, Wang Yue respectfully took the brush. After taking a deep breath, she dipped the brush in cinnabar and started to write.
Blue talisman characters appeared one after another under the brush. The entire talisman paper began to suffuse with a faint blue light.
After more than a quarter of an hour, Wang Yue put away the brush and a Flying Talisman that was suffused with a blue light appeared on the table.
"Your comprehension is not bad. If you practice diligently, your success rate will slowly increase. Remember, for talismans that have a lot of talismans, it's best to maintain your magic power at more than half." Wang Changsheng nodded and suggested.
"Thank you for your guidance, Martial Uncle Wang." Wang Yue nodded with a face full of gratitude.
Seeing this, the other people's faces all revealed an envious expression.
"Martial Uncle Wang, can you demonstrate the drawing of the Golden Armor Talisman to me?" A tall young man in white stepped forward and asked cautiously. His face was full of expectation.
Wang Changsheng pondered for a while and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Wang Yue hurriedly gave up her seat.
Before starting to draw the Golden Armor Talisman, Wang Changsheng first explained the key points and precautions of drawing the Golden Armor Talisman. Then, he walked to the stone table, picked up the white brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and started to draw the Golden Armor Talisman on a piece of blank talisman paper.
With Wang Changsheng's current level of talisman making, a beginner talisman like the Golden Armor Talisman was naturally not difficult for him. It didn't take long for him to draw a Golden Armor Talisman.
Wang Changsheng drew a total of five Golden Armor Talismans. After drawing one, he would ask the young man in white clothes to see if the latter had any questions.
After drawing five Golden Armor Talismans, Wang Changsheng handed the brush to the young man in white clothes. The young man in white clothes tried five times to draw a Golden Armor Talisman, but even so, it made the others extremely envious.
"Martial Uncle Wang, I have some doubts when drawing the Earth Escape Talisman. I hope Martial Uncle Wang can give me an answer." A young man in yellow clothes with a fair face stepped forward and said with a face full of expectation.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng frowned, but he still agreed.
Then, the young man in yellow clothes raised the doubts in his heart.
Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment and explained the key points and precautions of drawing the Earth Escape Talisman. Then, he personally demonstrated it.
After the yellow-clothed young man retreated, a woman dressed in a blue palace dress quickly walked forward. Before she could speak, Immortal Wang spoke first, "Alright, I still have things to take care of. You guys go about your business! I'll talk to you some other time. "
Hearing this, the woman in the palace dress looked a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to say anything and could only return to her original position.
Seeing this situation, the others responded one after another, then they dispersed and got busy.
"Senior Brother Wang, I haven't been able to draw the Firebird Talisman. Can you give me some advice?" The bald man touched his bald head and said with a sincere face.
The bald man was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in the hall. He asked in front of everyone. Wang Changsheng couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
Wang Changsheng came to the stone table where the bald man was sitting. After asking the bald man's question, he answered and personally drew a few Firebird Talismans.
However, the bald man's talent in making talismans wasn't good. He tried more than 30 times before he successfully drew a Firebird Talisman.
Although he had failed more than thirty times before he succeeded, the bald man still had a happy expression on his face. He smiled and said to Wang Changsheng, "Senior Brother Wang, you are indeed the one who was transferred here from the headquarters. Your skill in talisman crafting is more than twice as good as that guy Yang Ming."
"Yang Ming?" Wang Changsheng heard this and was slightly surprised.
"Yang Ming is also a talisman maker of Heavenly Talisman Pavilion. Because he can draw several kinds of intermediate talismans, Senior Sister Huang let him live in the No. 3 talisman making room. Junior Sister Liu lives in the No. 4 talisman making room. Junior Sister Liu can also draw several kinds of intermediate talismans. It's just that Yang Ming has more types and quantities every month." The bald man slowly explained.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng nodded. After a few polite words, he said goodbye and went downstairs.
When he passed by the third floor, Wang Changsheng saw the shopkeeper of Heavenly Talisman Pavilion, Huang Jingmei, apologizing to a middle-aged man with a withered face.
"Fellow Li, I'm really sorry. The talismans you want haven't been drawn yet. Can you give me two more days? As compensation, the price will be reduced by 10%." Huang Jingmei said with an apologetic face.
"Fellow Huang, do you think I care about that little bit of spirit stones? I have an appointment with someone to go out to sea to hunt monsters later. I won't be back for ten days or half a month. You want me to wait two days? Do you think it's possible? "The middle-aged man said with a frown. His expression was very unhappy.
"I'm really sorry, Fellow Daoist Li. The two newly transferred talisman masters don't have much experience in making talismans. They still need two more days to draw the talismans you want." Huang Jingmei braced herself and explained.
"Humph, I don't care. We agreed to get the goods at noon today. There's still an hour before noon. If you can't take out the talismans I ordered in an hour, you have to pay me three times the deposit. Otherwise, we'll meet at the Law Enforcement Office." The middle-aged man snorted and said with some dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Huang Jingmei's long shapely eyebrows wrinkled. Suddenly, she saw Wang Changsheng coming down from upstairs from the corner of her eye.
Her face lit up and she apologized to the middle-aged man. She quickly walked over to Wang Changsheng and said, "Brother Wang, do you have the Firebird Talisman, Ice Rain Talisman, Thousand Blade Talisman, Fire Cloud Talisman, and Water Escape Talisman? If you do, lend them to me first. I'll definitely return them to you in the future." After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang Changsheng with a face full of expectation.
When Wang Changsheng heard this, he lightly smiled and said something that made Huang Jingmei dumbstruck, "I have all of the talismans that Senior Martial Sister mentioned. How many does Senior Martial Sister want? En, taking out forty to fifty of each type of talisman is not a problem.
"Brother Wang, you're not joking, right? You can really take out that many? "Huang Jingmei said with some disbelief.
"Senior Martial Sister, do you think I'm joking?" Wang Changsheng faintly smiled and said faintly.
Seeing this, Huang Jingmei showed an expression of ecstasy and said, "Then I'll first thank Junior Martial Brother for your help. En, I want twenty Firebird Talismans, five Ice Rain Talismans, ten Thousand Blade Talismans, fifteen Fire Cloud Talismans, and ten Water Escape Talismans."
Wang Changsheng nodded and turned around. He took out the talismans that Huang Jingmei wanted from his storage pouch and handed them to her.
Huang Jingmei took the talismans and checked the quantity. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she walked over to the middle-aged man. She said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Li, these are the talismans that you ordered. See if the quantity is correct."
When the middle-aged man saw the talismans in Huang Jingmei's hand, a trace of surprise flashed across his face. He took the talismans and checked them. After confirming that the type and quantity were correct, he took out a heavy storage pouch and threw it to Huang Jingmei.
Huang Jingmei opened the storage pouch and swept it with her Divine Sense. She nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Li. Come again next time."
"There's no need for thanks. The money and goods have been cleared. That's right, is that the new Talisman Master in your Heavenly Talisman Pavilion? How come I've never seen him before? "When he finished speaking, the middle-aged man seemed to inadvertently look at Wang Changsheng.
"Haha, this is a trade secret. I can't comment." Huang Jingmei laughed and shook her head.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man did not continue to ask. He bid farewell and left.
"Brother Wang, this time it's all thanks to you. If not for you, our pavilion would have to pay a large sum of compensation." Huang Jingmei smiled at Wang Changsheng and said gratefully.
"It's nothing. This is what I should do." Wang Changsheng said faintly.
"Brother Wang, may I ask, how many dozen beast skins did you use to draw these talismans?" Huang Jingmei seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a moment before asking.
"A hundred dozen."
"Only a hundred dozen?" When Huang Jingmei heard this, her face was full of shock. She had been a shopkeeper for more than ten years and had come into contact with many Talisman Masters. Those Talisman Masters who used two dozen beast skins to draw one intermediate talisman was considered not bad. However, this Junior Brother Wang used a hundred dozen beast skins to draw sixty intermediate talismans. This talisman crafting rate was a bit high.
What Huang Jingmei did not know was that Wang Changsheng used a hundred dozen beast skins to draw more than two hundred intermediate talismans. The amount that he gave her was not even half of the total.
"Senior Sister, convert those talismans into contribution points and give them to me! En, I still have things to do. Let's talk when I come back. "After saying this, Wang Changsheng let Li Yang lead the way downstairs.
