Chapter 25: Geng Family Visitors (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Investment)
The most common talisman soldiers in the cultivation world are flying talisman soldiers, which have a flying speed comparable to that of flying magic weapons of the same level. The only disadvantage is that they are expensive and lack some flexibility.
In addition, there are some five-element talisman soldiers of different grades, which are made of some special five-element spiritual objects as raw materials to become talisman soldiers as helpers in battle.
As long as the talisman soldiers are not completely damaged at one time, they can be restored and repaired in the future, and they are not disposable consumables.
Talisman soldiers of different attributes have different effects and their own areas of expertise. For example, wood-attribute talisman soldiers are good at self-recovery, fire-attribute talisman soldiers are good at explosive attacks, etc.
Unfortunately, talisman soldiers are too far away from Sun Mingsheng and the Sun family. They can only be regarded as a future goal. In the short term, they still need to be down-to-earth and improve the level of drawing talismans step by step.
If they are both first-level middle-grade firebird talismans, the ones in the Sun family store can exert stronger explosive power, which will naturally attract the attention of some Qi Refining cultivators and slowly accumulate a group of repeat customers.
After the mining of the Jade Spirit Mine and the Blue Stone Spirit Mine returned to normal, Sun Mingsheng's daily practice entered a regular state.
Excluding the normal rest time, more than two-thirds of the time is spent on meditation and practice, and one-third of the time is spent on drawing talismans.
In addition, a certain amount of time will be taken out to try to comprehend the Fire Snake Technique. Once the true meaning of it is successfully comprehended, you can try to draw the third first-level medium-quality talisman.
The practice and comprehension of the Fire Bird Technique and the Fire Wall Technique have never been given up. For cultivators, there are four stages of magic: entry, proficiency, great success, and perfection.
The same magic, the same cultivation, and the different stages of mastering the magic have obvious differences in the effects.
The magic in the perfect state can be cast instantly by the cultivator, which is particularly valuable in battle.
From another perspective, with the improvement of the mastery of the magic, it also has a certain auxiliary effect on the success rate of talisman production.
The mastery and comprehension of magic requires certain qualifications for the cultivator, but practice is equally important. Practice makes perfect is also a very important principle.
God rewards hard work. With Sun Mingsheng's continuous efforts, both his own cultivation and the success rate and quality of talisman drawing are in a steady improvement.
At present, the success rate of drawing the first-level medium-grade Fire Bird Talisman and Fire Wall Talisman is more than 60%, and a large number of spiritual stones and elixirs can be exchanged from the family every month.
A year has passed in a flash, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, vaguely touching the threshold of the seventh level of Qi training.
In this year, the mastery of the first-level medium-grade Fire Snake Art has reached the proficient stage, and the success rate of drawing talismans has stabilized at 30%, which can basically declare a turnaround.
Perhaps because of the improvement of cultivation, or perhaps because of analogy, with the improvement of the level of drawing talismans, this time the attempt to draw the Fire Snake Talisman seems simpler than before.
"If I hadn't used the large amount of spiritual stones from the family to buy talisman paper and ink to learn to draw talismans, how could I have such abundant resources to maintain my practice now?" Sun Mingsheng was quite impressed.
The supply of various resources of the Sun family is not too abundant, and it can only barely meet the most basic needs of family members.
Most family members need to complete some extra tasks in exchange for some spiritual stones, even so it is still tight.
How could I have such abundant resources as Sun Mingsheng now in the middle stage of Qi training and practice in a relatively luxurious way?
In a sense, the cultivation of a cultivator is based on the consumption of a large amount of resources. Otherwise, with his relatively ordinary qualifications of three spiritual roots, it would be impossible to make a significant improvement in cultivation within a year.
Shenquan Mountain, the headquarters of the Sun family
"Stop, this is the location of the Sun family, please report your name" One day, a white light appeared at the foot of Shenquan Mountain, and the patrolling cultivators immediately stopped it.
"Zhongshan County, Geng Family, Geng Yulin is here to visit the head of the Sun Family on the orders of the family." The white light dissipated, and a determined young monk appeared.
"So it's the Geng family. Please wait here for a moment. We need to report to the elders of the family before we can let you enter the Shenquan Mountain. Please forgive me, Geng Daoyou." The patrolling monk welcomed Geng Yulin to a small pavilion and said.
"Geng came uninvited, and I should follow your family's requirements." Geng Yulin naturally would not have any dissatisfaction.
This is also the rule of each family and sect in the cultivation world. Without an invitation letter, you cannot directly enter the base camp of any force.
The entire cultivation world is a mixed bag, and mutual hatred and hunting are endless. If you are not careful, the entire family may fall into crisis.
Of course, if the family holds some special celebrations, it will openly welcome the arrival of monks from all sides, and the family protection formation will also be fully operational.
The Geng family in Zhongshan County is also a cultivation family with a history of nearly a thousand years, and has seven foundation-building cultivators.
The one with the highest cultivation level has already reached the ninth level of foundation-building, and is obviously stronger than the Sun family.
The Geng family and the Sun family belong to two different counties. They are formal in-laws. The same generation of cultivators with similar qualifications marry each other, and the exchanges between the two sides are also quite close.
For the two families, the closest relationship must be the mutual interest relationship. Only when the two sides fully complement each other can they truly unite together.
Every six months, the Geng family and the Sun family will organize caravans to exchange what they have and what they need, and trade with each other with the specialties of Pingyang County and Zhongshan County. Each transaction can earn at least two thousand spiritual stones in profit.
"Zhongshan County, is there someone from the Geng family? Please come in." The clan leader Sun Xunmu made a decision quickly.
After all, the relationship between the two sides is still relatively close. In addition to normal exchanges, there are also many cases where cultivators are sent to each other.
"Geng Yulin meets the head of the Sun family." After a cup of tea, Geng Yulin has appeared in the meeting hall.
"Fellow Daoist Geng is polite. I wonder what important matter you have come to Shenquan Mountain this time?" Sun Xunmu showed a curious expression on his face.
Geng Yulin is also a ninth-level Qi training cultivator. It is not an easy task for him to travel alone across two counties. It is a big test for any cultivator.
"The autumn pear fruit will be ripe in a year. The family will hold an autumn pear fruit meeting. On the one hand, we will exchange what we have, and on the other hand, some juniors will learn from each other. The top ten will each receive an autumn pear fruit as a reward. I came here specially to send you an invitation." After saying that, Geng Yulin took out a gold-plated invitation.
"The Geng family is really generous. The autumn pear fruit is a first-class high-quality spiritual fruit, which is very valuable. They are willing to use it as a prize," Sun Xunmu said with envy.
Special thanks to the book friend "Aidou's Rock Sugar Snow Pear" for the reward of 100 starting coins
