Making Tier 2 Talismans

While waiting for the goods to arrive, Huang Sanfu brewed Yang Tianyou a cup of Spirit Tea and handed him a book about two fingers thick.

"This is my List Tier 2 Spirit Items from the Spiritvoid Pavilion. Daoist Friends, please take a look and see if there's anything you need."

Yang Tianyou took the book and slowly opened it.

There are more than a dozen categories, including Pills, Law Artifacts, Formations, Talisman, spirit medicine herbs, Spirit Gold, Spirit Materials, Spirit Beasts, Spirit Cuisine... everything you could want.

After quickly glancing through the items, Yang Tianyou found quite a few useful things, but none of them were urgent, so he didn't ask to buy them.

After a short while, the servant boy from before pushed open the door and came in, holding a Storage Bag in his hand, which he respectfully handed to Huang Sanfu.

After inspecting it, the latter pushed it in front of Yang Tianyou, smiled slightly, and said, "The goods are all there, Daoist Friends, please check them!"

Yang Tianyou took the Storage Bag, scanned it with his Spiritual Awareness, and nodded in satisfaction. He had thought he would have to visit several shops, but he didn't expect to have everything he needed at the Spiritvoid Pavilion, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"How many Spirit Stones do all these items cost in total, Shopkeeper Huang?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Sanfu grinned, pulled out a golden abacus, and said while typing, "Regarding the Demon Beast materials, you purchased one Second-Tier Middle-Grade Beast Hide, four Second-Rank Low-Grade Beast Hides, two bottles of mid- Second-Tier Middle-Grade Demon Beast Essence Blood, and eight bottles of Second-Rank Low-Grade Demon Beast Essence Blood, totaling three thousand four hundred Spirit Stones."

Regarding Pills, you purchased two bottles of Second-Tier Middle-Grade Spirit-Enhancing Pill elixir, Golden Flower Golden Radiance Pill; two bottles of Second-Rank Low-Grade Wound-Healing Pill, Human Origin Pill Essence Elixir; and one bottle of Second-Rank Low-Grade body-tempering Pills, Water-Fire Body-Tempering Pill, for a total of 8,500 Spirit Stones.

Regarding Law Artifacts, you purchased a Second-Rank Low-Grade Law Artifact Dragon-Tiger Golden Pagoda, and Second-Rank Low-Grade Law Artifact, the Horizon Boots, for a total of 4,800 Spirit Stones.

In addition, you purchased some other miscellaneous materials, worth 1,700 Spirit Stones. All of this adds up to a total of 18,400 Spirit Stones!

By the end, Huang Sanfu's mustache was practically twitching; a commission of over 18,000 Spirit Stones was no small sum.

"How about 17,000 Spirit Stones?" Yang Tianyou took a sip of Spirit Tea and asked with a faint smile.

"You flatter me, sir. A thousand Spirit Stones is no small sum," Huang Sanfu said with a bitter face, bowing slightly.

Yang Tianyou didn't reply, but smiled without saying a word.

After a moment, Huang Sanfu gritted his teeth, "A maximum of one thousand Spirit Stones, no less!"

"Okay!" Yang Tianyou put down his teacup, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Daoist Friends, please come and patronize us more often in the future! The more you buy from our establishment, the greater the discounts you'll receive!" Huang Sanfu's expression changed, and he said enthusiastically.

"Of course, your establishment is well-stocked and reasonably priced. I will certainly be a frequent visitor." After exchanging a few polite words, Yang Tianyou paid the Spirit Stones and turned to leave Spiritvoid Pavilion.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment, few dare to follow or track you in the Black Market. This is the benefit of having strength; evil spirits and monsters automatically retreat.

Therefore, Yang Tianyou did not take the roundabout route he did the first time when he bought Gold Essence on the Black Market, but went straight back to the restaurant.

As soon as the door opened, Fengling and Yuan Ba came to greet them. Yang Tianyou took out some food he had bought on the way and handed it to them, which excited the two Spirit Beasts. They picked up the food box and ran to the side to feast.

Seeing this, Yang Tianyou smiled and shook his head. "Two gluttons!"

Thinking this, he took a meat bun from the paper bag in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing a couple of times, he thought, "Mmm... the taste is very good. The Beast Meat is prepared just right, fatty but not greasy. I'll buy from them again next time!"

After finishing the steamed buns, Yang Tianyou went to his study, set up an isolation Formation, and began processing the materials for Talisman Crafting.

He took out several Beast Hides and placed them on the table. These hides needed to be dissolved in a special Spirit Liquid and then refined with True Fire to form Blank Talisman Paper.

Yang Tianyou's skill in making blank talisman paper is very high, but that is only limited to first-tier talisman paper. He has not made second-tier talisman paper yet. The blank talisman paper he used to refine the Five Elements Spirit Transformation Talisman last time was made by a talisman maker from the Mu family.

So this was his first time making Blank Talisman Paper, and Yang Tianyou seemed very serious.

With a slightly solemn expression, Yang Tianyou first prepared the dissolving Spirit Liquid, then dripped the bluish-white Spirit Liquid onto the Beast Hide one by one.

Laugh!

Puffs of white smoke rose up, emitting a pungent odor. Before the odor dissipated, he activated the Spiritual Power within his body.

The Five-Element Spirit-Transforming Talisman in the Dantian trembled slightly, and soon, a Five Elements Light Wheel radiating five-colored light appeared in the Dantian.

The metal-attribute spiritual energy first surged into the Five Elements Light Wheel, then was transformed into fire-attribute spiritual energy, flowing from the dantian to the meridians, and finally was transformed into a primordial true fire by Yang Tian using his fire control technique.

Under the intense heat of the True Fire, the Tier 2 Beast Hide gradually shrank and condensed. Grayish-white impurities were refined out and dripped into the prepared container below.

Smelting Beast Hides is a delicate task that requires not only time but also the patience of the Talisman Maker. Only when the flames are evenly distributed can the Blank Talisman Paper be of high quality.

Time passed slowly, and soon the whole day was over. The stars and moon descended, and as the first Starlight shone through the window, Yang Tianyou slowly withdrew his True Fire. A Blank Talisman Paper covered with earth-yellow patterns slowly landed on the table.

This is a Blank Talisman Paper with Earth Attribute. The paper is quite large, enough to make two Talisman after being cut. Yang Tianyou carefully observed the talisman paper under the starlight.

The paper is fine and smooth, with a yellowish-gold hue. The natural patterns on the Beast Hide are also perfectly preserved, making it a fine talisman paper.

Nodding in satisfaction, Yang Tianyou appeared extremely pleased; his first attempt at making Blank Talisman Paper had been a great success.

With such a successful start, the subsequent production went even more smoothly. Blank Talisman Papers were produced one after another, and even the Second-Tier Middle-Grade Beast Hide was transformed by Yang Tianyou into a Blank Talisman Paper that emitted Azure Light.

After finishing the talisman paper, the next step was to prepare the Spirit Ink. This step also did not stump Yang Tianyou. It took him two days to prepare a total of ten boxes of Spirit Ink, which were then placed on the table.

Five days had passed, and it was time to actually draw the talisman.

Taking a deep breath and then slowly exhaling, Yang Tianyou adjusted his state and took out the Azure Rainbow Talisman Brush.

Using First-Tier Supreme-Grade first-tier Azure Rainbow Talisman Brush to draw Tier 2 Talisman is actually a bit of a stretch, but Yang Tianyou didn't think about replacing the brush. It was a gift from his mother, and after using it for so many years, he was already very familiar with it.

Moreover, even if you switch to a Tier 2 talisman brush, it won't actually increase the success rate by much. Ultimately, drawing talismans relies on skill. External factors can help, but they don't play a decisive role.

Yang Tianyou spread out Blank Talisman Paper, opened the Spirit Ink, dipped his brush in the Spirit Ink, and began to write!

For his first Talisman, he chose to draw Metal-Attribute Talisman he was most familiar with: Second-Rank Low-Grade "Blade Formation Talisman."

With masterful strokes and fluid, flowing lines, Yang Tianyou sketched the outlines of four long swords in just a few strokes.

The Spiritual Power, transformed into liquid form, became docile and controllable under the blessing of the Jade Register Heavenly Book, flowing into the Blade Formation Talisman Spirit Ink in strands and threads.

Sun rises and sets, time flows on.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. In the room, Yang Tianyou's gaze narrowed slightly, his sword- Azure Rainbow Talisman Brush turned, completing the last stroke.

On the reddish-brown tabletop, a Metal-Attribute Talisman exuding a majestic Blade Intent lay quietly— Second-Rank Low-Grade Blade Formation Talisman, complete!
