An hour passed, Li Yuan finished his work and felt it a little bit.
The speed of cultivation has indeed improved.
It's not an extra line or a half, it's fast that you can directly feel.
There is Rejuvenation Talisman's crafted animal hide on the table, and next to it is a picture of Rejuvenation Talisman that was just painted. Li Yuan reached out and picked up Talisman, putting it on his fingertips.
Affix Permanentization of Rejuvenation Talisman requires five Medicinal Pill of wood attribute.
Wood attribute Medicinal Pill, he has exactly two in his hand.
But there is no rush now. After collecting the five pieces of wood attribute Medicinal Pill, they can be used together to avoid having to take off and put on the equipment again.
Li Yuan did not continue practicing, but picked up Talisman Brush and continued Talisman Making.
Rejuvenation Talisman and Fireball Talisman take different paths. Fireball Talisman talks about pressing, gathering, and exploding, while Rejuvenation Talisman talks about spreading, moistening, and collecting. Previously When he painted Rejuvenation Talisman, the most common problem was that the Wood-Attribute Spirit Qi was unevenly laid out, and the Nourishing Pattern on Talisman Paper often floated in the middle.
Now, as soon as Pure Spirit Power is hung up, the spiritual power is more at your disposal on the pen tip.
Li Yuan dipped in Spirit Ink and put pen to paper.
The first layer of Healing Pattern is very stable, and the second layer of Nourishing Pattern is also spread out. The pen tip gently turns in a circle on Talisman Paper, and Wood-Attribute Spirit Qi penetrates into the paper along the lines without diverging. The last layer of convergence falls into the heart of the charm, and a layer of faint green light shines on the surface of Talisman Paper, which quickly disappears.
It's done.
Li Yuan pressed the symbol aside and continued to draw the second one.
In the afternoon, the two He Family monks who were on duty to guard the garden changed to this side.
One is in his thirties, with a dark face and an old scar on his forehead, with a cultivation level of Qi Refining, Fourth Layer. The other is younger, in his early twenties, thinner, Qi Refining Third Level, walks fast, and speaks quickly.
The two of them carried Law Artifact into Herb Garden and said hello to Li Yuan first.
"Young Daoist Li."
"Fellow Daoist Li, is it still quiet here today?"
Li Yuan nodded.
"Nothing happened during the day."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, leaned Law Artifact in his arms against the stone railing, squatted down and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's fine if there's no movement. If it happens a few more times, the family will really be unable to hold on."
The older one glanced at him.
"Stop saying such depressing words."
The young monk grinned and didn't answer. Instead, he turned to look at Talisman Paper and the finished product Rejuvenation Talisman on the table, and his eyes moved.
"You Daoyou Li will also Talisman Making?"
"I know a little bit."
The older monk took over the conversation again.
"Wang Family is a big help by sending you here this time."
Li Yuan didn't answer this sentence, only asked one question.
"You He Family Herb Garden produce a lot of spirit medicine. Why are there so few manpower to guard the garden?"
The older monk smiled, a little helplessly.
"A lot of medicine doesn't mean there are a lot of people."
He walked to the edge of the medicine garden and looked down at several spirit medicine plants that had just been straightened up.
"We at the He Family are good at growing medicine, but we are not good at Alchemy. Most of the things in Herb Garden have to be sold in the end. We don't have many that we can keep at home."
The young monk squatted beside the stone railing and interjected.
"To put it bluntly, you can grow it but you can't eat it."
"If we really practiced Alchemist at home, how could we be so passive?"
Li Yuan listened and did not interrupt.
There is no need to ask for this kind of information, just follow the instructions below and it will come out naturally.
His tone was calm, neither self-deprecating nor covering up.
"However, we He Family still have some dignity in the surrounding area."
Li Yuan glanced at him.
"By Array?"
This time it was the young monk's turn to laugh.
"Did Fellow Daoist Li see it?"
"You can guess it."
Although Herb Garden Array was not very strong last night, it was not something that could be easily obtained. In addition, Steward Liu said before that He Family could lead Array Master for the Wang Family. This path is obviously the foundation of the He Family.
The older monk nodded.
"There are people in my family who know a little bit about Array, and I can't say that they are very smart, but among the small Lineages around, they are pretty good at it. Whoever wants to build a small formation, make up a Array Eye, or ask Array Master to do something, often has to pass through our bridge first."
The young monk added another sentence.
"So our cultivation level is not high, and we can barely get by. Wang Family is willing to protect us, and others will not touch us easily."
"Of course, if it gets really messy, I'll tell you something else."
Li Yuan asked, "You and Wang Family are very close?"
The older monk nodded.
"Close, not close enough."
"Lineage like us cannot survive on our own. He Family has been doing things for the Wang Family these years. The medicinal materials are sold to the Wang Family market, and the favors from Array are also sent there. Several young people in the family will also be sent to the Wang Family to stay for a while."
The young monk took over.
"Some of them are going to do things, and some are going to learn things. The contracts they signed are short-term. To put it bluntly, we are letting Wang Family see our people, and we can also use Wang Family's place to gain some knowledge."
Li Yuan hummed.
He Family's overall cultivation level is not high, but he is able to stand firm in the surrounding area, not because he is strong enough, but because he is needed by others, and at the same time, he relied on the Wang Family early on.
This kind of Lineage can usually get through it, but when it comes to chaos, it will be even more difficult.
The young monk picked up Law Artifact again and glanced outside Herb Garden.
"There has been a lot of quarrel between the Wang Family and Li Family recently. Those of us who are caught in the middle have the most difficult time. When Demon Beast comes, people are in chaos. We have to guard every side of the house, but there are not enough people on either side."
Li Yuan followed his words and looked outside, but didn't ask any more questions.
You already know almost everything you need to know.
Herb Garden was quiet for a while again.
Li Yuan continued Talisman Making, and the two He Family monks took turns patrolling around Herb Garden. Occasionally they exchanged a few words, which were all about the He Family's usual chores of guarding the garden. In the evening, the three of them took their respective places.
As soon as the sky darkened, there was soon movement in the woods outside Herb Garden.
First there was a very light sound of branches and leaves breaking.
Then, two faint dark lights lit up in the forest on the west side, like the eyes of an animal.
The young monk stood up immediately and held the Law Artifact in his hand tightly.
"Here we go again."
Li Yuan had already walked out of the stone house and glanced towards the forest.
This time it's not three heads, it's four heads.
There are two Grey Iguana, one Iron-Spine Hyena, and one Demon Beast that looks like a badger. The hair on its back is standing up, its body is thin, and its aura is between Low-grade First-Order and medium-grade. There are more than last night, and the rush is faster.
The front end Iron-Spine Hyena pounces directly on the west side Array.
The light curtain shook violently.
Li Yuan didn't wait for it to hit it a second time, Fireball Technique took action.
With a bang, fire exploded on the side of the hyena, knocking it over. The hyena rolled and fell into the gravel. Just as it was about to struggle to get up, the second Fire Arrow had already arrived, nailing straight through its neck bone.
The other three Demon Beast are scattered.
One end of the Grey Iguana circled to the north close to the edge of the Array, as if looking for the weak point of the Array. The other end rushed forward, but was deflected by a spell from the older monk.
Li Yuan moved his feet, Fire Escape Technique closed the distance, raised his hand and hit Fireball again, sending Grey Iguana who was charging the hardest, flying away.
The remaining badger, Demon Beast, did not rush into the formation. Instead, it swam quickly along the outer edge of Herb Garden. Its movements were more flexible than the others, as if it wanted to touch in from the side.
Li Yuan glanced at it, and something strange emerged in his heart again.
Once or twice, it can be said to be a coincidence.
Demon Beast came to attack Herb Garden two nights in a row. This doesn't seem like a coincidence.
As soon as the idea changed, Li Yuan did not kill directly, but turned around and killed the other Grey Iguana first. Fire Arrow pierced the leg, Fireball made up for the head, and took it away within two breaths.
Only the last one Badger Demon is left on the field.
When the thing saw all its companions fall, instead of retreating, it suddenly jumped towards the north side of Herb Garden, picking up speed at the same time.
Li Yuan There was a flash of fire under his feet and he caught up directly.
Fire Escape Technique was incredibly fast in this short-distance pursuit. After a few ups and downs, he was forced behind the Demon Beast. Li Yuan had no use for Fireball. He reached out with his right hand and directly grabbed the back of its neck. He pressed his back with the other hand and suppressed it with spiritual power.
Badger Demon struggled desperately, digging a series of deep marks on the ground with his four claws, and let out a sharp scream.
The young monk was stunned.
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't you want to kill?"
"Keep it first."
Li Yuan pushed Demon Beast to the ground and pressed his knees directly on its lower back. The older monk reacted quickly and came over to help immediately, using the Law Artifact handle to hold Demon Beast's head.
"Tie it up."
The two of them hurriedly pulled a rope and tied the Badger Demon firmly.
Herb Garden became quiet again, with only a few Demon Beast corpses lying on the ground.
When the last Demon Beast was pinned to the ground, Li Yuan did not immediately hit the target.
He knelt down and opened Demon Beast's mouth to take a look.
The teeth and mouth are normal, there is not much saliva, there is no Medicinal Pill residue, and there is no obvious medicinal smell. Looking at the eyes, the pupil divergence is not too severe, unlike those Demon Beast who were driven crazy by Mine last night.
Li Yuan reached out and pressed on its neck, back and belly again.
There are no needles buried under the fur, no abnormal lumps, and no traces of artificial sewing.
"Give me the knife."
The older monk handed over Short Saber.
Li Yuan cut a small strip of skin along the bottom of Demon Beast's forelimb, and used his spiritual power to probe in and check it out. The flow of Demon Power in the flesh and blood was very chaotic, but it was as chaotic as a normal state after being frightened and rushing into battle, and it did not look like someone had planted some trick in advance.
He turned Demon Beast over again and looked at the base of the tail and the tendons of the hind legs.
Still not.
The young monk squatted beside him and couldn't help but ask.
"Did someone tamper with it?"
"I'm not sure yet."
Li Yuan put away the knife and threw Demon Beast back to the ground.
The reaction, breath, and physical condition of this Badger Demon appear to be normal.
But the problem is that when these Demon Beast hit Array like this, their behavior is very abnormal.
But when I really checked, I found nothing.
Li Yuan stood up and patted the blood on his hands.
"Keep it closed for now and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
The young monk nodded, and together with the older monk, dragged the Demon Beast to the edge of the stone fence and tied it securely with a rope.
Li Yuan stood outside Herb Garden and glanced towards the dark forest.
There was no other movement in the forest. The night wind blew by, leaving only the rustle of leaves.
Demon Beast doesn't come too much, and its strength isn't too strong either.
But I just came too often.
He withdrew his gaze and turned back to the stone house. The captured Demon Beast was still tied outside. Occasionally it would break free, and the rope would make a slight sound on the stone railing.
