This afternoon, the output of the Talisman Making task was completed earlier than expected.
The amount of Fireball Talisman and Heart-Locking Talisman was enough for He Shou's distribution today. In the remaining time, Li Yuan did not continue to draw the battle Talisman, but took out Spirit-Refining Talisman's materials from the depths of the storage bag.
Golden Talisman Paper is spread on the table, with a restrained shimmer and a heavy texture. The dark gold Spirit Ink is poured out from the jade bottle. The ink is warm. When you dip it on the pen tip, you can feel the spiritual power slowly flowing in it.
First-Tier Superior-Grade.
I tried it on the Talisman Hall several times before, but it failed. Then I tried it on Mine several times, and it still failed.
The card position has always been the fourth circle of Spirit-Condensing Pattern.
The distance between the spiral circuits shrinks sharply starting from the fourth circle. Spiritual Qi Density has to nearly double in a very short distance. The rotation speed of the wrist and the increase in spiritual power must be completely synchronized. Every time I came here before, either the spiritual power could not keep up with the density or the wrist turned faster and the lines were scattered.
But that was Qi Refining Sixth Layer time.
After Qi Refining Seventh Layer, the total amount and quality of spiritual power have reached a higher level. After Spirit Qi Condensation is made permanent, the density is far higher than that of the same level. After Pure Spirit Power is made permanent, the spiritual power is purer. Coupled with the bonus of Skillful Stroke and the control accuracy that Talisman Making has honed intensively during this period, the situation should be different.
Li Yuan dipped in Dark Gold Spirit Ink and put pen to paper.
Spirit-Condensing Pattern. First lap.
The spiritual power flows out from the tip of the pen, forming an inward shrinking arc on Golden Talisman Paper. The dark golden Spirit Ink penetrates into the paper, and the edges of Spirit Pattern are neat and clean.
In the second round, the distance is reduced, and Spiritual Qi Density is lifted up. It is nearly 30% tighter than the first round, and the speed of the pen tip turning on the paper is correspondingly accelerated.
Smooth.
The third circle. The distance continues to shrink, and Spiritual Qi Density continues to increase. The rotation of the wrist is synchronized with the direction of the spiritual power, and the lines tighten on the paper.
Getting here is pretty much the same as before. He also went through the first three laps last time at Mine, and the problem always came in the fourth lap.
The fourth circle.
The distance suddenly shrinks.
Li Yuan's wrist slowed down slightly by half a minute.
He was not hesitating, but accumulating power. In the transmission chain of spiritual power from fingertips to pen tip, he took the initiative to lower the output rhythm of spiritual power by half a beat, so that the density increase did not jump up all at once, but increased at a constant speed like climbing a slope.
The pen tip moves through the first half of the fourth circle on the paper.
Spiritual Qi Density followed.
The texture has not faded.
The second half.
The distance has been reduced to a minimum, and the pen tip is almost touching the edge of the third circle. Spiritual Qi Density is nearly twice as high as that of the third circle. The rotation speed and spiritual power output of the wrist must be Precision to a millimeter.
Li Yuan's breathing slowed down for half a beat. His wrist turned the last quarter of a circle, and the density of spiritual power reached the peak of this circle.
Not scattered.
The fourth lap is completed.
Li Yuan didn't stop, and went straight into the fifth lap while the rhythm was still there.
The fifth circle is the last circle of Spirit-Condensing Pattern, and it is also the innermost circle, which collects the heart of the charm. Spiritual Qi Density reaches the highest level, the spiral circuit closes in this circle, and all the accumulated spiritual power flows into the center.
The pen tip turned the final arc, and spiritual power poured from the pen tip into the heart of the talisman.
Spirit Pattern on the rune lighted up at the same time.
The five spirals flashed in sequence from the outside to the inside, and the dark golden light gathered inward layer by layer, and finally condensed into an extremely bright point of light at the center of the symbol.
The light spot sank and disappeared into the paper.
A layer of calm dark golden luster floated on the surface of Talisman Paper, which was completely different from the faint light of Low-grade First-Order Talisman. This layer of luster was deep and restrained, as if something was pressed beneath the paper surface.
It's done.
[Talisman: Spirit-Refining Talisman-Entry Level(0/200)]
Li Yuan placed the Spirit-Refining Talisman on the table.
First-Tier Superior-Grade Talisman, the first finished product.
He looked at the remaining Golden Talisman Paper on the corner of the table. He brought a total of twenty materials. Six of them were discarded before, one was used today, and thirteen are left.
It was also lucky that the seventh one was successful.
Put your fingertips on the talisman surface.
[Equipable item detected: Spirit-Refining Talisman (complete)]
[Affix Preview: Soul Tempering and Condensation (White)--The concentration of the soul is increased by 20%, and the damage when attacked by the soul is reduced by 20%]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Use pure soul power to attack and kill Yin Ghost (0/1) of a First-Order Mid-Grade]
[The current Equipment Slot is full (5/5), do you want to replace the current equipment?]
White Trait. Soul Tempering and Condensation.
Double effect. The concentration level of the soul is increased by 20%, and the damage caused by the soul attack is reduced by 20%.
Soul Light Tempering of Soul-Illuminating Mirror is to passively strengthen Divine Soul Strength, and Soul Tempering and Condensation of Spirit-Refining Talisman is to increase concentration and resistance. The directions of the two overlap but are not exactly the same.
The permanent condition is to attack and kill a First-Order Mid-Grade Yin Ghost with pure soul power.
He currently has no soul attack spells. Soul-Illuminating Mirror can release strong light that damages the soul, but Soul-Illuminating Mirror is currently equipped and cannot be used as Law Artifact.
Moreover, it is unclear whether using Law Artifact is considered a pure soul attack, but it most likely does not count.
First-Order Mid-Grade's Yin Ghost is not something you can come across casually.
First-Order Mid-Grade's Yin Ghost is not something you can come across casually.
Leave it alone first.
Li Yuan puts Spirit-Refining Talisman into the storage bag and cleans the desktop.
After leaving the stone house, the yard was much busier than the previous two days.
The repair work on the wall is still going on, but there is an extra group of people today.
To the west of the yard, close to the city wall, seven or eight monks are squatting on the ground and busy. A few people are carrying stones, and others are carving Spirit Pattern on the ground. The gravel is arranged into neat stone piles, and the stone piles are connected with Mineral Powder to form a line. The Spirit Pattern on the ground are arranged in a ring shape and are expanding outward little by little.
It's not about building a fence, it's about building Array.
Li Yuan took a few steps that way.
The person squatting in the middle and carving Spirit Pattern is a young monk in his early twenties. He has a fair face and is wearing a short gray-blue robe. He is holding a fine-pointed carving knife and carving something on the side of the stone pile one by one.
People from the He Family.
Li Yuan recognized him. He had seen him before at Mine, his name was He Yun.
The monks who were moving stones nearby were wearing Guard Squad standard equipment, and they were obviously called here to help.
Li Yuan walked to the side of the monk Guard Squad who was resting.
"When did it start?"
The monk put the stone in his hand on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This morning, after learning that Fangshi was attacked, the higher-ups sent someone who knew Array and said they would give Fangshi a set of Defense Array Formation."
He pursed his lips in the direction of He Yun.
"That boy belongs to the He Family, and everything about Array is under his command. We are just moving rocks."
Li Yuan glanced at He Yun. He Yun was carving Spirit Pattern attentively. The carving knife made fine lines on the side of the stone pile. Occasionally he stopped to compare it with a drawing of animal skin spread out at hand.
"There was no Array in Fangshi before?"
The monk shook his head.
"It was of no use in the past. At most, we encountered a few Demon Beast in Fangshi, and the wall and patrols were enough. Bandit Cultivator didn't dare to come, and Wang Family just sat there. Who would dare to come to Fangshi to cause trouble after eating a bear's heart and a leopard?"
He dusted off his hands.
"It's different now. People rushed in and smashed Station a few days ago. The wall can't stop anything. The boss finally thought of getting a Array."
Li Yuan hummed, didn't ask again, and stood aside for a while.
After He Yun finished carving Spirit Pattern on a stone pile, he straightened up and moved a few times. He turned around and saw a few helping Guard Squad monks squatting on the ground waiting to move the next batch of stones. He started to say a few words casually.
"This stone pile is the peripheral node of Array Eye. Spirit Pattern is engraved with Sensing Pattern and Conduction Pattern. Sensing Pattern is responsible for detecting the spiritual energy fluctuations within the range, and Conduction Pattern is responsible for transmitting the signal back to Array Eye."
He took a carving knife and marked two locations on the newly completed stone pile.
"These two places are the connection points. The Sensing Pattern of the next stone pile must be connected from these two positions, and the direction cannot be reversed. If the direction is reversed, the signal cannot be transmitted to Array Eye, which means the carving is in vain."
A helping monk squatted over and looked at those Spirit Pattern.
"Is this the same as Spirit Pattern on Talisman?"
"The principle is similar, but the carrier is different." He Yun put the carving knife aside. "Talisman's Spirit Pattern is drawn on paper. It is disposable and is gone after use. Array's Spirit Pattern is carved on stone or metal, and it can be powered by Spirit Stone and can continue to operate."
He gestured towards the entire circular Spirit Pattern layout.
"However, Array is much more complicated than Talisman. The Spirit Pattern of Talisman can be nested at most several levels, while Array can easily have dozens or hundreds of Spirit Pattern linkages. If any one is engraved in the wrong position or direction, the entire set of Array will be useless."
The monks nodded after hearing this and did not ask any more questions. He Yun picked up the carving knife and continued working.
Li Yuan looked aside for a while, then turned and returned to the stone house.
Array's matter has little to do with him, that is He Yun's job.
Returning to the table, Li Yuan took out a piece of Monster Meat from the storage bag.
Iron-Horned Antelope leg meat, cut into a pound, Fire Control Art roasted.
The meat feels firm and firm in the mouth, and warmth spreads from the belly after swallowing.
Flame Marrow Body Nourishment converts Demon Power into Qi and Blood, which penetrates into the muscles and bones. The remaining Demon Power is captured by Fiend Qi Affinity and transformed into a very light wisp of Fiend Qi, which is integrated into the whole body.
Fiend Qi Body Tempering automatically responds and pulls Fiend Qi into the fascia.
After eating, sit down cross-legged and run Iron Ox Technique.
Qi and Blood leads from the Dantian and pours into the organs along the path of Iron Ox Technique. Fiend Qi simultaneously penetrates into the surrounding organs for double flushing.
The physical body is getting stronger bit by bit.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened. The sound of moving stones could be heard faintly in the direction of Fangshi. He Yun was still working over there.
Li Yuan closes the eyes and exercises, and Qi and Blood and Fiend Qi circulate alternately in the body.
