Early the next morning, Wang Lu knocked on the door.

He stood in the corridor, took out two cloth bags from his sleeves, and handed one to Li Yuan.

"There is no need to stay in an inn anymore. You can find a place to stay in the city and the expenses will come from here."

Inside the cloth bag is thirty yuan Spirit Stone.

Wang Lu didn't explain much. He placed another cloth bag at Old Sun's door and knocked twice. After Old Sun came out, he handed the other cloth bag to Old Sun, then turned around and left.

After chatting with Old Sun for a few words, Li Yuan put Spirit Stone into the storage bag, went back to the house, packed up his things, and left the room.

Yunyang Marketplace's accommodation is not difficult to find.

There are many rental yards and rooms in several side alleys south of the main street. The price ranges from Spirit Stone per day to half Spirit Stone per week, depending on the area and location.

Li Yuan walked along the alley for a while and chose a small independent courtyard near the end of the alley.

The courtyard wall is not high, made of gray bricks, and surrounds a main house and a side house.

There is a stone table and a wooden bed in the main house, and the side room can be used as a utility room. There is a small open space in the middle of the yard, enough to set up a simple stove.

Li Yuan moved the Talisman Making materials into the main room and spread out the tabletop. Talisman Brush was placed on the pen holder, and Spirit Ink and Cinnabar were placed within easy reach.

The courtyard is much wider than the inn room, and the tabletop is also larger, enough to spread out three or four Talisman Paper at the same time.

As soon as the door was closed, the voices in the alley outside were separated by a layer and became much quieter.

After settling in, Li Yuan started to do another thing.

Herb Talisman Paper.

Captain Wang had previously given a roll production method to Herb Garden. He had seen the process, but had never actually practiced it.

Herb Garden was attacked just a few days after trying it. Things happened one after another and I didn't have time to spare.

The price of Spirit Herb of Yunyang Marketplace is about 10% lower than that of Qinghe Market, and Green Spirit Herb of Low-grade First-Order is even cheaper. You can buy a large bundle of Spirit Stone for three pieces.

Li Yuan left the yard, bought two bundles of Green Spirit Herb at the nearby Spirit Herb Shop, and bought the herbs needed to prepare Setting Medicinal Liquid from a Rogue Cultivator stall.

After coming back, start the operation in the open space in the yard.

Green Spirit Herb is chopped into pieces, soaked in water for half an hour, taken out and put into the medicinal solution to continue soaking. After two hours, take it out and mash it into a slurry, pour it on a flat stone slab and flatten it.

After it dried the next day, Li Yuan peeled off the pressed sheet from the stone slab.

The tactile feel is different from Green-Veined Paper. Herb Talisman Paper is softer, has thicker fibers, and has a very light green color on the surface.

The quality is not as good as the genuine Green-Veined Paper, but it is better in that the cost is extremely low.

The quantity of Herb Talisman Paper made from two bundles of Green Spirit Herb is nearly three times greater than the Green-Veined Paper purchased at the same price.

In the following days, Li Yuan's rhythm completely stabilized.

Talisman Making during the day and practice at night.

The focus of Talisman Making has expanded from Spirit-Refining Talisman to all mastered Talisman types.

Fireball Talisman, Heart-Locking Talisman, and Qi Gathering Talisman are still the main outputs. These three are what Guard Squad needs most to fight Talisman. But Li Yuan will spend two or three hours every day to rotate and practice other Talisman.

Meridian Expanding Talisman uses a combination of Meridian-Expanding Pattern and Guidance Pattern, and the spiritual power direction needs to be even and smooth. This kind of Talisman has only been produced in the market a few times before, and the Proficiency has always stopped at the Entry Level stage.

Now Talisman Crafting Art has reached Minor Accomplishment. The precision of spiritual power control is several levels higher than before, and it is easy to draw Meridian Expanding Talisman. The little foundation accumulated in the Entry Level stage was quickly improved, and the success rate of Meridian Expanding Talisman increased from less than 30% to more than 60%.

[Meridian Expanding Talisman: Proficiency(0/400)]

Golden Armor Talisman and Energy Recovery Talisman are also advancing simultaneously.

Armor-Condensing Pattern and Solidification Pattern of Golden Armor Talisman are the same as Metal Element, which are somewhat similar to Vajra Talisman. The experience accumulated after Vajra Talisman Mastery can be directly used on Golden Armor Talisman, and the speed of getting started is much faster than when I first learned Vajra Talisman.

[Golden Armor Talisman: Proficiency(0/400)]

Energy Recovery Talisman adopts the water system and favors the wood system. The layout of Spirit Pattern has something in common with Qi Gathering Talisman.

[Energy Recovery Talisman: Proficiency(0/400)]

The progress of Detoxification Talisman and Breath-Concealing Talisman has also increased a lot. Although they have not yet reached Mastery, they are drawing a few pictures every day and are getting closer and closer to the next threshold.

Rotation switching between different types has a much greater impact on the total proficiency of first-level spell making than specializing in one type.

This morning, Li Yuan completed the day's Talisman Making ahead of schedule, put down Talisman Brush, and left the yard.

Go up the main street along the side alley and turn in the direction of the Rogue Cultivator stall area.

The layout of the stall area has not changed from the previous few days. Thirty or forty stalls are crowded into the open space surrounded by stone fences. The stall owners squat behind the cloth, some shouting and some taking naps.

Li Yuan walked slowly along the stall area, scanning the items on each stall.

When walking to the north side of the stall area, Li Yuan noticed a stall that he had never seen before.

The stall owner is a female cultivator in her thirties, with a delicate face and slender fingers, with faint traces of Cinnabar on her fingertips. There are no Medicinal Pill and minerals on the coarse cloth in front of her, and there are several thin volumes.

He knelt down and scanned it, and his eyes stopped on the last volume, Bamboo Slip.

Gold Blade Talisman preparation method. Thirty pieces Spirit Stone.

The instructions on the wooden sign are written in a few lines of small characters.

Gold Blade Talisman, Low-grade First-Order combat Talisman. After use, a sharp Metal Element spiritual blade can be released, causing cutting damage to the target. The sharpness of the spiritual blade increases with the strength of the user's spiritual power.

Li Yuan picked up the roll Bamboo Slip and flipped through it.

The Spirit Pattern layout diagram is drawn on the inner page cut from animal skin paper, and detailed production instructions are attached next to it. It is a combination of Gold Blade Pattern and Sharpness-Gathering Pattern. The direction of spiritual power is to first gather and then release. Talisman Paper condenses into a very fine metallic Spirit Power Line, which turns into a spiritual blade when released.

Metal Element Talisman.

Li Yuan There is no Metal Element among the Talisman currently mastered. Fireball Talisman is Fire Element, Rejuvenation Talisman is wood type, Vajra Talisman and Heart-Locking Talisman are more earth-based. Metal Element is mainly earth-based. Detoxification Talisman is water-based and more wood-based. Talisman, a pure Metal Element, has no combat skills at all.

"Did you write this recipe yourself?" Li Yuan glanced at the stall owner.

The female cultivator raised her head and her eyes fell on Bamboo Slip in Li Yuan's hand.

"Copied from the master. The master is old and no longer Talisman Making, so he allowed me to sell the making method."

"Thirty dollars?"

"Thirty yuan." The female nun wiped Cinnabar on her finger.

"The production method of Metal Element Talisman is inherently more expensive than other attributes. The direction of Metal Element Spirit Pattern is very different from the common Fire Element and wood type. There are fewer people learning it and there are fewer production methods circulating on the market."

Li Yuan turned Bamboo Slip to the pages of Spirit Pattern's layout diagram and looked at them carefully.

The direction of Gold Blade Pattern is indeed quite different from that of Fire Element Spirit Pattern. Fire-Gathering Pattern of Fireball Talisman takes an arc-shaped compression route, while Gold Blade Pattern takes a straight-line cutting route. The spiritual force rushes from the starting point to the end point along a straight path without turning or bifurcating in the middle.

Sharpness-Gathering Pattern adds a band at the end of Gold Blade Pattern to compress the cross section of Spirit Power Line from a circular shape into a flat blade shape to increase the sharpness.

Li Yuan closes Bamboo Slip.

"I want it."

Thirty pieces of Spirit Stone are placed on the cloth.

The female cultivator put Spirit Stone into her sleeves and nodded towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan put Bamboo Slip into the storage bag, stood up and left the stall area.

Walk back to the courtyard along the original path and close the courtyard door.

On the table in the main room, there are still a few Herb Talisman Paper left over from today's paintings. Li Yuan put them aside and laid out a new Green-Veined Paper.

Metal Element Talisman is not suitable for use with Herb Talisman Paper. Herb Talisman Paper has Wood-Attribute Spirit Qi residue and has a slight conflict with the spiritual power of Metal Element.

Li Yuan unfolded the Bamboo Slip produced by Gold Blade Talisman and laid it out next to it, compared with the layout diagram of Spirit Pattern, dipped it in Spirit Ink, and put pen to paper.

The spiritual power flows out from the tip of the pen, leaving a straight line on Talisman Paper.

It feels completely different from Fire Element Spirit Pattern. When Fire Element Spirit Pattern walks in an arc, the spiritual power spreads along the curved surface, like water flowing along an arc-shaped river. When Metal Element Spirit Pattern walks in a straight line, the spiritual power squeezes along an extremely narrow channel, like a blade cutting into wood.

Halfway through the first stroke, the spiritual power shifted slightly in the middle of the straight line.

It's not a problem with the wrist, it's that the spiritual power itself is not stable enough when transmitted in a straight line. Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi has inertia assistance when walking in an arc, while Metal Element has no inertia when the spiritual power travels in a straight line, and it all relies on control.

Wasted.

Li Yuan lifted up the waste talisman and put it aside, then laid out the second one.

By the time of the fourth picture, both Gold Blade Pattern and Sharpness-Gathering Pattern had passed through. The spiritual deformation at the end of Sharpness-Gathering Pattern was in place at the last moment, and the cross section of Spirit Power Line was pressed into an extremely thin blade shape.

A layer of cold silver-white luster floated on the surface of the rune, which was completely different from the red of Fireball Talisman and the earthy yellow of Vajra Talisman. This layer of luster was extremely thin and sharp, like a frozen blade.

It's done.

Li Yuan placed the Gold Blade Talisman on the table and put his fingertips on it.

Panel popped out.

[Equipable item detected: Gold Blade Talisman (complete)]

[Affix preview: Gold Edge Enhancement (white)--Metal Element spell power increased by 20%]

[Preview of permanent conditions: Three Metal Element spells reach Entry Level level (0/3)]

[The current Equipment Slot is full (5/5), do you want to replace the current equipment?]

White Trait. Gold Edge Enhancement.

The power of Metal Element's spells is increased by 20%, which is similar to the way Flame Marrow Body Nourishment increases the power of Fire Element's spells.

The permanent condition is that three Metal Element spells reach Entry Level.

Li Yuan Currently there is only Gold Blade Technique one Metal Element spell, which is already Entry Level. There are still two more to go.

The Metal Element spell is not particularly rare on the market, but it has fewer types than Fire Element and the water type. You should be able to find it in the Yunyang Marketplace store, the only problem is the price.

Li Yuan put Gold Blade Talisman away, but there is no equipment. Equipment Slot has all five positions filled, and there is currently no suitable vacancy.

Adding Gold Edge Enhancement and Flame Marrow Body Nourishment together, the spell power of Fire Element and Metal Element will be greatly improved. In the future, after Metal Element spells are learned and made permanent, the combat methods will have another dimension.

But that will happen in the future. Right now, my main focus is still the Fire Element spell, and Gold Blade Technique is not very useful.

After using another Spirit-Refining Talisman, Li Yuan continues Talisman Making.

Divine Soul Strength has been improving recently, Li Yuan can feel it, and Soul Tempering and Condensation Affix's own Soul Enhancement is also slowly strengthening.

It is estimated to increase from more than 10% to 20%.
