That night, Li Yuan opened the first jar of Body Tempering medicine in the small room.
Iron Bone Liquid.
As soon as the wax seal on the mouth of the jar was removed, a spicy medicinal smell immediately came out, which was so strong that it choked the nose.
The medicinal solution was dark brown in color and had a viscous texture. When it was poured into the wooden basin, it was obviously stuck on the wall and the flow rate was very slow.
Li Yuan poured the medicinal solution in, then added water to it, then took off his clothes and sat in.
The liquid medicine has not reached the waist and abdomen, the temperature is not high, and it is even a little cold when entering the water.
But after three breaths, the coolness disappeared.
The medicine begins to seep into the skin.
It's not like the touch of water when taking a bath, it's a kind of oppressive penetration.
The drug penetrates through the pores on the skin surface, passes through the subcutaneous fat, and directly acts on the muscle layer.
Li Yuan's forearms were the first to react. The muscles tightened, and a layer of fine red spots appeared on the surface of the skin, as if something had been pushed out from the inside. Then the same red spots appeared one by one on the chest, abdomen and back.
It's not painful, but the soreness is very strong, as if all the muscles were being kneaded hard at the same time.
Medicinal Power Refining's Permanent Affix works secretly. The active ingredients in the medicinal solution are absorbed more efficiently, while impurities and medicinal residues are squeezed to the surface of the skin, precipitating a layer of gray-black dirt.
Two hours later, the color of the liquid changed from dark brown to light yellow, and the potency of the medicine was basically absorbed. Li Yuan stood up from the basin, and the layer of gray-black dirt on the surface of the skin was swept away with Cleaning Spell.
The muscles are really tight.
It's not the dull compressed feeling of Fiend Qi Body Tempering, but a more uniform dense feeling, as if the gaps between muscle fibers have been filled with a layer of medicine.
I used Mystic Armor Decoction on the second day and Crimson Marrow Paste on the third day.
The experiences of the three medicinal liquids are different. Mystic Armor Decoction is relatively hot. After soaking in it, the whole body feels like being roasted by fire and the skin becomes red. The medicinal effect mainly acts on the bones and joints. Crimson Marrow Paste is the mildest of the three. There is no obvious discomfort, but it penetrates the deepest, and the medicinal power penetrates along the bone seams and into the marrow.
The permanent conditions of Iron Wall Body Refining Art require three different formulas to complete a complete quenching cycle each.
One soak is just the beginning, and the full cycle requires continued soaking. It also requires subsequent digestion and body adaptation.
But at least, all three recipes have already launched the first round.
In the following days, Li Yuan re-equipped Soul-Illuminating Mirror and put most of his energy back on Talisman Making.
Fireball Talisman has been steadily accumulated in Mastery Stage, and the success rate remains at about 70%.
Several other Talisman are catching up quickly.
Rejuvenation Talisman has been painted the most, and the progress of Vajra Talisman is also increasing. The Spirit Pattern of this Talisman is more complicated than Fireball Talisman, and the success rate is slower, but the experience value of each Talisman Crafting Art is much higher than that of Basic Talisman.
[Rejuvenation Talisman: Proficiency(7/400)]
[Vajra Talisman: Proficiency(3/400)]
Each breakthrough of Talisman will bring a wave of growth to the total Proficiency degree, and switching between different types will increase faster than specializing in one type. Six types of Talisman are drawn in turn, and the progress bar of Talisman Crafting Art is pushed forward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the night of the sixth day.
Li Yuan spread out a piece of Green-Veined Paper, dipped it in Spirit Ink, and drew Fireball Talisman.
The feeling of this talisman has been different since I started writing it.
It's not that a specific aspect has changed for the better, it's that the overall feeling has changed.
When I used to draw symbols, there was a very short "confirmation" process between each Spirit Pattern - after the previous one was drawn, I quickly went through the position and strength of the next one in my mind before I started writing. This process is very short, so short that you can hardly notice it at ordinary times, but it does exist.
Now this process disappears.
The moment the previous line is closed, the wrist has automatically moved to the starting position of the next line, and the flow of spiritual energy has been adjusted simultaneously, without the need for thinking.
It's like changing from drawing one stroke to writing in one breath.
The six paths Spirit Pattern were completed in one go. When the heart of the talisman was gathered, the spiritual power was restrained, and the red luster floating on the surface of the talisman was more stable than any other one before.
Panel popped out.
[Tier 1 Talisman Crafting Art: Mastery(0/800)]
Li Yuan picked up the Fireball Talisman and looked at it twice.
There are almost no flaws in the arrangement of Spirit Pattern, and the thickness, depth, and spacing of each line are just right. This is not a result that he deliberately pursues, but is drawn naturally after his hands have reached this level.
Mastery.
Talisman Master Yu said the threshold.
Li Yuan put Talisman on the corner of the table, put down Talisman Brush, and stood up.
When we walked out of the low house, it was just dawn.
Steward Liu was squatting under the wooden shed to boil water. The iron kettle was placed on a blackened stone, with white steam coming out of the spout.
Li Yuan sat down on the stone pier opposite him.
"I have something to tell you."
Steward Liu picked up the charcoal under the fire with a branch and looked up at him.
"Say."
"I'm going to the Talisman Hall to take the assessment."
Steward Liu The branch in his hand paused.
He did not answer immediately, but knocked the branch on the ground twice to knock the ash off his head, and then spoke slowly.
He took the branch and drew a circle around Mine.
"Three of us are looking at such a large area. If First-Order Mid-Grade comes from two directions, the three of us can't even run."
"But if you leave, the higher ups will most likely send two more people to fill in. A place like Mine cannot be left unattended, even if the output is not large."
Steward Liu picked up the iron kettle and poured a bowl of water for each of them.
"Besides, even if you enter Talisman Hall, you may not be able to sit back and draw symbols safely."
Steward Liu pushed the water bowl in front of Li Yuan.
"In the current situation, most of the Talisman Masters have been sent to guard the middle area, Talisman Making on one side and guarding against Demon Beast and Li Family on the other."
He took a sip of water and pointed at Li Yuan with the rim of the bowl.
"Especially for someone like you who can fight. The higher ups can't just stuff you in the back and waste it. Maybe they'll send you back again."
Li Yuan picked up the bowl and took a sip.
The water is a bit hot.
"Then I'm leaving."
Steward Liu waved his hand.
"Let's go, let's go. Just go when you have to go, don't be irritated."
He said impatient words, but his hand took out a cloth bag from the wooden box next to him and handed it over.
"Mine's Spirit Stone settlement, plus your daily reward for stationing during this period and the reward for killing Demon Beast, are all in it."
Li Yuan took it and put it into the storage bag without counting it on the spot.
"Where are Lao Zhou and Sun Liang?"
"Lao Zhou was digging in the cave, and Sun Liang went on patrol." Steward Liu leaned back. "If you want to say hello, wait for them to come back."
"No need."
Li Yuan stood up.
"Just tell them for me."
Steward Liu hummed and picked up the bowl to drink water.
"Go ahead."
Early the next morning, Li Yuan packed up all his things and walked out of Mine.
Walk along the broken Stone Slope road in the direction of Wang Family Headquarters. As for the location of the Talisman Hall, Steward Liu roughly said that it is in an area to the north of Wang Family Headquarters, which is not in the same direction as Treasure Pavilion.
After walking for a long time, there were gradually more monks on the road.
After passing through several sentries, a fork in the road appeared ahead. The left led to the direction of Wang Family Headquarters and Treasure Pavilion, while the right turned to an area that Li Yuan had not been to.
There is a stone tablet at the intersection with two words engraved on it - Talisman Hall.
Li Yuan Go forward along the road on the right.
Less than a mile away, under an old tree on the roadside ahead, a man was squatting on the ground looking through a roll of animal skins.
Gray blue cloth robe, Cinnabar stained on the fingers.
Talisman Master Yu.
Talisman Master Yu raised his head when he heard footsteps. After recognizing Li Yuan, he stood up.
"Why are you going this way?"
"Go to the Talisman Hall."
Talisman Master Yu was stunned for a moment.
"What are you doing at the Talisman Hall?"
"Take the assessment."
Talisman Master Yu's eyes paused on Li Yuan for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded.
"Then go ahead."
He bent down to pick up the animal skin on the ground, rolled it up, and patted the dirt on his body. The two separated at the intersection, and Talisman Master Yu walked in the other direction.
Li Yuan Continue to move forward along the road.
The trees in front gradually became denser, and the stone road became smoother. The outlines of several courtyards could be vaguely seen, hidden among the trees.
