In the morning, Li Yuan took out the roll of herbal medicine Talisman Making paper method given by Captain Wang from the storage bag, unfolded it and spread it on the table.
The content on the hide is divided into two parts.
The first half is the principle.
The stems and leaves of Spirit Herb contain a large amount of plant fibers, and these fibers themselves carry weak spiritual power.
Spirit Herb is chopped, mashed, and soaked in a special liquid. The fibers will be softened, rearranged, and finally pressed into flakes under the action of the liquid. After drying, the flakes will become Herb Talisman Paper.
Compared with the ordinary Beast-Skin Talisman Paper, Herb Talisman Paper has better guiding spirit, especially Talisman Paper made of wood-type Spirit Herb. The success rate when painting wood-type Talisman will be higher.
The second half is the specific production process.
The first step is to pick. Select Low-grade First-Order and Spirit Herb, take the stems and large leaves, and leave out the roots and buds.
The second step is to chop and soak. Spirit Herb is cut into fingernail-sized pieces and soaked in clean water for half an hour to remove the soil and impurities on the surface.
The third step is to soak the medicinal liquid. Take out the fragments and put them into the pre-prepared Setting Medicinal Liquid to soak for two hours. The formula of Setting Medicinal Liquid is very simple. Just mix the juice of two common herbs, which can be found in Herb Garden.
The fourth step is to pound and flatten. After soaking, take out the fragments and put them into a stone mortar and pound them into a slurry. Pour the slurry on a flat stone slab and flatten it with another stone slab. The thickness is controlled to be about the thickness of two stacked Green-Veined Paper.
The fifth step is to dry. Place the flattened sheet in a ventilated place to dry naturally, which will take about a day.
The process is not complicated or difficult.
Li Yuan rolled up the animal skin and put it away, and left the stone house.
There are a large number of Low-grade First-Order and Spirit Herb planted in the medicine garden outside Herb Garden, with various varieties. Li Yuan walked along the stone fence, picked out a few Green Spirit Herb plants with thick stems and wide leaves, broke them three inches upward from the roots, and took out the stems and large leaves.
When the stem of Green Spirit Herb is broken, a few drops of light green juice ooze out, which is slightly sticky and has a light grassy smell.
Li Yuan picked a few more plants and put together a small bundle.
Then I went to another medicine garden and found the two herbs needed to prepare Setting Medicinal Liquid, and picked a handful of each.
Return to the open space at the door of the stone house, use a stone mortar to pound out the juice of the two herbs, mix it with water, and the medicine is ready. It is light brown in color and smells slightly bitter.
Just when I was about to start chopping Green Spirit Herb, I heard footsteps behind me.
Manager Wang walked down the slope, holding a document in his hand. He paused when he saw Li Yuan squatting on the ground playing with herbs.
"What are you doing?"
"Try to do Herb Talisman Paper."
Manager Wang hummed, didn't say anything more on this matter, and walked to stand in front of Li Yuan.
"The herb given to you has been approved."
He handed over the document in his hand. The document was stamped with the stamp of the Talisman Hall, and the content was to approve the contribution of the Talisman Hall to offset the receipt of one Foundation-Solidifying Grass plant, and to deduct the corresponding Contribution Point.
"Come pick it with me."
The two walked up the slope and went around the inside of the fence.
The Foundation-Solidifying Grass plant is still in its original position. The stems are emerald green, and the silver hairs on the edges of the leaves shimmer in the sunlight.
Manager Wang bent over and checked it again. After confirming that the status was normal, he nodded towards Li Yuan.
"Pull out. Pull out a piece<i class="icon icon-uniE081"></i><i class="icon icon-uniE0EF"></i>, don't break the roots."
Li Yuan squatted down and held the soil at the base of Foundation-Solidifying Grass with both hands. The translucent System Panel emerged, but Li Yuan ignored it.
The spiritual power seeped out slightly, loosening the soil around the roots. Then it was slowly lifted up.
The roots were pulled out bit by bit from the soil. The slender fibrous roots were intact, and there were still a few grains of wet mud hanging on the root tips.
The whole plant was uprooted.
Li Yuan Gently shake off the soil on Foundation-Solidifying Grass, wrap it with a piece of oil paper, and put it into a storage bag.
Manager Wang watched from the side as he put the herbs away, then turned around and shouted down the slope.
"Come all over and have a meeting."
The sound was not loud, but everyone in the stone houses above and below Herb Garden heard it.
Cultivator Zhou walked out of the stone house to the west, and Cultivator Feng stood up from the stove. Alchemist, who was on the slope, also poked half of his head out, hesitated for a moment, and then walked down.
There were two other people.
Li Yuan I haven't seen it before.
Two monks walked over from the hillside to the north of Herb Garden. They walked quickly and were covered with dead leaves and soil, as if they had just emerged from the forest.
The man in front is in his mid-twenties, with a medium to thin build, a dark complexion, lively eyes, and a breath of Qi Refining Fifth Layer. The man in the back is a little older, in his early thirties, with broad shoulders. He walks with steady steps, making almost no sound when stepping on the gravel.
Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
Li Yuan glanced at the person behind again.
It's not about his cultivation, but the way he walks. When he steps, his center of gravity is evenly distributed, and his knees are slightly bent, as if he's ready to exert force or change direction at any time. The muscle lines of his forearms are vaguely visible under the cuffs, which is different from monks who rely purely on spiritual power.
It's like practicing the Body Tempering technique.
The two walked to the open space and bowed their hands towards Manager Wang.
"Manager Wang."
Manager Wang nodded towards them and explained to the others.
"These two are the exploration monks of Herb Garden. They are responsible for guarding just like you, but they are on a rotational basis. They usually patrol the outside and explore the roads, and they are staggered from those of us who are stationed."
He raised his chin towards Li Yuan again.
"This is the Talisman Making division sent by the Talisman Hall, Li Yuan. He doesn't need to go out to investigate, just stay here Talisman Making."
After saying hello, the younger exploring monk took out a marked animal skin from his arms and spread it on the stone surface next to the stove.
"We have information."
He tapped a location on Beast Skin Map with his finger.
"We found traces of activity in a Valley about seven or eight miles northwest of Herb Garden. Footprints and spiritual power residues. The traces are no more than two days old. It should be that someone was stationed there recently."
He drew a circle around that location.
"The area is not small, about two or three miles in depth from front to back. We did not dare to go deep. We only looked around the periphery and confirmed that there were traces of the activities of at least three to five people."
Manager Wang knelt down and looked at the map.
"Li Family person?"
"Not sure." The young monk shook his head. "I didn't see the Li Family logo, but this location is not far from Herb Garden, and the previous groups of harassing monks came from the northwest, so the direction is right."
The exploration monk who practiced the Body Tempering technique had been silent, but now he spoke in a low voice.
"Maybe it's the location of the group that harassed us before."
The open space was quiet for two breaths.
Manager Wang straightened up and scanned the crowd.
"Would you like to go out tonight?"
Cultivator Zhou was the first to answer, with a crisp tone.
"Come on. It's too passive to be touched and tested by people at the door every day. Now that we have a foothold, it doesn't make sense not to go and check it out."
Cultivator Feng hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"It's not an option to be harassed like this all the time. If you can touch their nest, you can at least stir things up and let them know that they are not the only ones here to annoy you."
The young exploring monk added.
"Although the range is a bit large, as long as you hold your breath and move closer, you can get a clear picture of the situation outside and decide whether to fight or not."
Manager Wang's eyes turned to Li Yuan.
"Can you make a few Breath-Concealing Talismans?"
"A few will do."
Li Yuan paused and said again.
"I also have a piece of Breath-Concealing Jade Pendant on hand, which can be combined with the liquid medicine to make Breath-Concealing Spirit Liquid. The covering effect when applied to the body is more durable than applying Breath-Concealing Talisman."
"But I need specific herbs. I don't know if they are available here."
Manager Wang's eyes lit up.
"Okay, okay, tell me what herbs you need."
He said three good words in a row and patted his thigh with his palm.
"Then it's settled. Li Yuan will stay to be Breath-Concealing Talisman and Breath-Concealing Spirit Liquid, and the rest of the people who can move will follow at night. Herb Garden will have two people on duty here."
He turned to look at Lian Alchemist and Cultivator Feng.
"You two stay."
Lian Alchemist breathed a sigh of relief and Cultivator Feng nodded.
After the breakup, Li Yuan returned to the stone house.
Close the door and put aside the herbs Talisman Making. Breath-Concealing Talisman and Breath-Concealing Spirit Liquid are the urgent needs tonight.
Take out Grey Breath-Concealing Talisman Paper and Dark Silver Spirit Ink from the storage bag and spread them on the table.
Azure Cloud Talisman Brush dipped in Dark Silver Spirit Ink and put pen to paper.
Concealment Pattern starts the pen heavy and closes the pen lightly, and the spiritual power is gathered from the outside to the inside. He has practiced this reverse direction of spiritual power many times. Although it is not as much as Proficiency, the success rate after Entry Level is steadily increasing.
After making Breath-Concealing Talisman, then Breath-Concealing Spirit Liquid, the required herbs were sent to Manager Wang during the making of Breath-Concealing Talisman.
Li Yuan dug out the piece of Breath-Concealing Jade Pendant from the depths of the storage bag.
Chop the herbs into a small porcelain bowl, pour in spiritual power to encourage the juice to seep out. Then place Breath-Concealing Jade Pendant in the bowl, and the spiritual power will guide the remaining shielding spiritual power on the jade pendant to seep into the medicinal solution.
The color of the liquid gradually darkens, from light brown to dark gray, and a very light gray mist appears on the surface.
Breath-Concealing Spirit Liquid.
Li Yuan Put the medicinal solution into several small porcelain bottles and plug the mouths of the bottles.
Applying it on the body can cover the smell for about two hours. The effect is longer-lasting than Breath-Concealing Talisman, but it disappears after use.
After the things were prepared, Li Yuan put Breath-Concealing Talisman and Spirit Liquid on the table for distribution in the evening.
Then he took out the Foundation-Solidifying Grass wrapped in oil paper from the storage bag.
The oil paper was opened, and Foundation-Solidifying Grass lay completely in the palm of my hand. The stems were emerald green, and the silver hairs on the edges of the leaves flashed in the light in the room. The roots were long and slender, with a few grains of mud.
It's your own now.
The moment my fingertips touched the stem of Foundation-Solidifying Grass, Panel popped out.
[Equipable item detected: Foundation-Solidifying Grass (complete)]
[Affix preview: Eternal Qi-Blood Stability (green)--Qi and Blood status does not decline with the reduction of life span]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Open up the meridians throughout the body, and at the same time enable Qi and Blood to form a weekly circulation throughout all the meridians in the body]
[Current Equipment Slot(5/5), do you want to replace the current equipment?]
Green Trait.
Eternal Qi-Blood Stability.
Li Yuan read the information on Panel twice.
Green Trait.
Eternal Qi-Blood Stability.
Li Yuan read the information on Panel twice.
There is only one effect, Qi and Blood status will not decline with the reduction of life span.
A monk's Qi and Blood starts to decline from around the age of forty. The higher the level of cultivation, the later the decline will be, but it will eventually decline. By the age of one hundred, Qi and Blood is not even half of what it was at its peak.
After Qi-Blood Fullness became permanent, his upper limit of Qi and Blood increased by 30%, and the increase rate also increased by 10%. But no matter how full Qi and Blood is, if Qi and Blood naturally declines with age, those accumulations will eventually shrink.
This Affix directly cancels the recession itself.
The effect is extremely powerful, but the effect is long-term and no difference can be seen in a short period of time.
There are two conditions for permanence.
The first item is to open up the meridians throughout the body.
After Micro-Origin Meridian Guiding Art Minor Accomplishment, all the meridians in the body have been opened. This one should be satisfied.
The second item is to enable Qi and Blood to form a weekly circulation throughout all the meridians in the body.
Li Yuan frowned.
Weekly cycle of Qi and Blood.
He knows that spiritual power circulates throughout the heavens. When Cultivation Method is running, the spiritual power starts from the Dantian and travels through the meridians of the body and then returns to the Dantian. This is a cycle.
But what is the weekly cycle of Qi and Blood?
The route Qi and Blood takes is different from that of spiritual power. Spiritual power travels through the meridians, while Qi and Blood travels through the meridians as well as blood vessels and fascia. Nurturing Origin Technique's five postures allow Qi and Blood to move along a specific route, but that is not the circumference that covers all the meridians, but just a few paths specified by Cultivation Method.
Spreading throughout all the meridians means that Qi and Blood has to travel through every main meridians, branch meridians and micro meridians of the body like spiritual power, forming a complete cycle.
Li Yuan was silent for a few breaths.
He has never heard that Qi and Blood can move around the heavens like spiritual power. Qi and Blood has the same path as Qi and Blood, and spiritual power has the same path as spiritual power. Although the two travel through the same set of channels in the meridians, they operate in completely different ways.
Li Yuan re-wrapped Foundation-Solidifying Grass in oil paper and put it deep into the storage bag.
It can't be installed temporarily. Equipment Slot is full, and he still can't figure out the second item of the permanent condition.
Leave it alone first.
It's still dark outside the window, and there are still a few hours before the night attack.
Li Yuan walked to the table and sat down, spread out Talisman Paper, and continued to draw Fireball Talisman.
Azure Cloud Talisman Brush dipped in Spirit Ink and put pen to paper.
Six paths Spirit Pattern in one go.
