The cooperation with Shen Yue and Zhou Tie was smoother than expected with Li Yuan.
Shen Yue The Spirit Herb over there is about 10% cheaper than the ones on the market, and the quality is also stable.
Li Yuan goes to his stall every five or six days to collect a batch of Green Spirit Herb and auxiliary materials for preparing medicinal solutions. Although the savings Spirit Stone is not much, the little he adds adds up.
Zhou Tie The Talisman Brush over there is handy. The Spirit Wood Talisman Brush I bought last time is much better than the one Rogue Cultivator sold at the stall. The spiritual power is transmitted smoothly, and the scrap rate has dropped a bit when I draw the charm.
Li Yuan has never stopped supplying Talisman to the two of them. Shen Yue needs Fireball Talisman and Rejuvenation Talisman, which are used for self-defense when going out to collect medicine.
What Zhou Tie wants is Qi Gathering Talisman, and Artifact Refining Dao occasionally needs to replenish a large amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time.
The three of them each got what they needed, and their interactions became more and more frequent.
This afternoon, Li Yuan went to Zhou Tie's workshop to pick up a batch of newly made Talisman Brush accessories.
Zhou Tie was squatting in front of Refining Furnace and knocking on a piece of Spirit Iron. Sparks flew everywhere. When he saw Li Yuan coming in, he put the hammer down and took out a few pen holders from the wooden box next to him and handed them over.
"The batch of pen holders you asked for is ready. Spirit Wood, three pieces."
Li Yuan took it over and checked one by one. The wood of the pen barrel is fine and the texture is uniform, and the spiritual energy is transmitted smoothly after being poured into it.
"How much?"
"Old price, three pieces and forty yuan."
Spirit Stone Put it down and put the pen holder away.
Zhou Tie put Spirit Stone into his apron pocket, patted the iron filings on his hand, and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
He glanced outside the door and lowered his voice.
"Yunyang Marketplace craftsmen have a circle, you know, right?"
"I don't know."
"That's right. You haven't been in Fangshi for a long time." Zhou Tie rubbed his chin.
"This circle is not big, there are about twenty or thirty people. There are Alchemist masters, Talisman Making masters, Artifact Refiners, and one or two people who know Arrays."
"We usually do our own thing, but we get together every once in a while to trade skills and materials with each other."
He gestured with his hands.
"There happens to be one tonight. If you are interested, I will take you there."
"Where?"
"There is a teahouse in the east of Fangshi, a private room on the second floor. The shopkeeper is a member of the circle, and is always there at every gathering."
Li Yuan thought for a while.
The circle of craftsmen can trade craftsmanship and materials. If you can find a new Talisman Making Technique or Pill Formula from it, it will be of great help to you.
"Okay."
That evening, Li Yuan followed Zhou Tie out of the house.
Shen Yue also came, and the three of them walked east along the main street.
The teahouse is located in the north of East Street, with two floors Stone Tower. The facade is not big but it is kept clean.
The first floor was an ordinary teahouse, where several Rogue Cultivators were sitting there drinking tea and chatting. There was a curtain covering the stairway on the second floor. There was a waiter standing next to the curtain. When he saw Zhou Ties, he nodded, opened the curtain and let the three of them go up.
On the second floor is a spacious private room. A long table is placed from one end of the room to the other. Several pieces of coarse cloth have been laid out on the tabletop, with various things scattered on it.
There are several rolls of Bamboo Slip, several bottles of Medicinal Pill, several Law Artifact accessories of different workmanship, and some scattered Spirit Herb and ores.
There were already about ten people in the room, standing or sitting in twos and threes, talking in low voices.
The cultivation level ranges from the fourth and fifth levels of Qi Refining to the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining, and they dress differently, but their hands bear more or less traces of craftsmen - the fingertips are stained with medicinal powder, the palms have scalded calluses, and the cuffs are stained with Spirit Ink.
After Zhou Tie entered the door, he greeted several people and then raised his chin towards Li Yuan.
"This is Master Li Yuan, Talisman Making. The one listed by Ziyuan Trading Firm."
Several eyes turned around and paused for a moment or two on Li Yuan.
Alchemist, a man in his fifties, nodded. "I've heard of it. I saw the sign on Shopkeeper Han. Talisman is in really good condition."
Another monk in his thirties stood up from the table and cupped his hands towards Li Yuan. "Thank you for a long time. I set up a stall at Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area selling Law Artifact accessories. I bought two of your Fireball Talisman. The workmanship is really good."
Li Yuan nodded to several people.
There was not much exchange of pleasantries, and that was not popular in the circle of craftsmen.
Zhou Tie and Li Yuan sat down at the table, and Shen Yue found a seat at the other end.
Several more people came one after another, and when everyone arrived, there were about twenty people.
No one is presiding over it, and there is no fixed process. Everyone puts what they want to trade on the table and goes over to talk to anyone they like.
Li Yuan glanced at the things on the desktop.
Most of them are materials and finished products. Spirit Herb, ore, Medicinal Pill, Law Artifact accessories, the grades range from Low-grade First-Order to First-Order Mid-Grade.
There are also some crafts stuff.
There are several rolls of Bamboo Slip placed in the middle of the table, with wooden signs inserted next to them to mark the contents.
Li Yuan walked over and took a look.
There are three volumes of Bamboo Slip of Talisman Crafting Art, two volumes of Alchemy Pill Formula, and one volume of Artifact Refining Dao technique.
The three volumes of Talisman Crafting Art are: Ice Spike Talisman Making Method, Wind-Walking Talisman Making Method, and Fireball Talisman Making Method.
All are Low-grade First-Order.
Li Yuan picked up Bamboo Slip from Ice Spike Talisman and turned over two pages.
Ice Spike Talisman is the water type combat Talisman. After use, it releases a Ice Spike to attack the target. Spirit Pattern uses a combination of Ice Condensation Pattern and Piercing Pattern, which is somewhat similar to Restriction-Breaking Talisman.
Wind-Walking Talisman is Wind Element's auxiliary to Talisman. After use, it can temporarily increase the movement speed. Spirit Pattern is the combination of Gale Pattern and Light Body Pattern, which takes the speed route.
I have never learned the two Talisman Crafting Art Li Yuan. The water system and Wind Element's Talisman have always been blank in my skill library. After learning it, it will be useful whether for personal use or for sale.
"How to sell these two volumes?" Li Yuan raised Bamboo Slip in his hand towards a monk standing next to him.
The monk was a thin man in his forties, with Spirit Ink on his fingers, and he was also a Talisman Making master.
"Ice Spike Talisman Twenty Spirit Stone, Wind-Walking Talisman Eighteen Spirit Stone."
"Take both volumes together, thirty-five."
The thin teacher Talisman Making thought for a moment. "Thirty-six."
"Okay."
Spirit Stone is put down, and the two rolls of Bamboo Slip are put into the storage bag.
Li Yuan continued to circle around the table.
At the end of the table, Zhou Tie was talking about something with a young Artifact Refiner.
There are several Talisman Brushs lying next to them, and the workmanship is much finer than those usually sold by Zhou Tie.
Li Yuan walked over and took a look.
Three Talisman Brush are placed side by side on a piece of velvet cloth. The pen barrels are made of different woods, ranging in color from light brown to dark green.
The nibs have different millimeter cores, including Demon Beast fibre, Spirit Herb fiber woven, and mixed materials.
One of the dark brown pens, Talisman Brush, caught the attention of Li Yuan.
The pen barrel is slightly longer than the ordinary Talisman Brush. It is dark brown throughout, the wood is fine and steady, and there is a layer of natural Hidden Pattern on the surface.
The core of the pen tip is made of silver-white whiskers, which are woven extremely tightly.
Li Yuan picked up Talisman Brush and weighed it. He held it calmly, and the spiritual power was transferred from the fingertips into the pen barrel very smoothly, with almost no attenuation.
It's more than one level better than those made by Zhou Tie.
"How much is this?"
Young Artifact Refiner raised his head and glanced at Li Yuan. "Exquisite Talisman Brush, using a century-old Spirit Sandalwood pen holder, and the nib is First-Tier Superior-Grade Silver-Maned Beast. Forty yuan Spirit Stone."
"Thirty-five."
"Thirty-eight, it can't go any lower. The materials are worth this price."
Li Yuan placed thirty-eight pieces of Spirit Stone on the flannel and put Talisman Brush into the storage bag.
After walking around in the circle, Li Yuan chatted with several craftsmen.
A Talisman Making teacher was looking for someone to exchange Talisman Making experiences. Li Yuan exchanged a few words with him about Spirit Pattern connection skills, and the other party nodded repeatedly.
After about an hour, the party broke up.
Li Yuan followed Zhou Tie and Shen Yue out of the teahouse and separated at the intersection.
Go back to the yard and close the door.
Li Yuan took out the two newly purchased rolls of Talisman Crafting Art Bamboo Slip and the exquisite Talisman Brush and placed them on the table.
Let's look at the preparation method of Ice Spike Talisman first.
The spiritual power direction of Ice Condensation Pattern is exactly opposite to that of Fire Element Spirit Pattern.
Fire Element Spirit Pattern is used to heat and expand the spiritual power before releasing it, while Ice Condensation Pattern is to cool down the spiritual power and compress it before condensing it.
Li Yuan spread out a piece of Herb Talisman Paper, dipped it in Spirit Ink, picked up the newly bought high-quality Talisman Brush and put pen to paper.
The new Talisman Brush has an excellent hand feel. There is almost no loss of spiritual power from the pen barrel to the pen tip. The pen tip is fine and tough, and the trajectory on the Talisman Paper is clean and neat.
Ice Condensation Pattern's spiral path has gone around in a circle. During the process of contraction, the properties of the spiritual power change from normal to water-based, and the temperature gradually decreases.
When he arrived at the position of Piercing Pattern, he directly transferred his experience with Restriction-Breaking Talisman. He had already practiced the accuracy requirements of Piercing Pattern, and his techniques were ready.
Conclude.
A layer of light blue luster floated on the surface of the talisman, which was cold and clear.
It's done.
Li Yuan placed Ice Spike Talisman on the corner of the table and changed the preparation method of Wind-Walking Talisman.
The combination of Gale Pattern and Light Body Pattern. The direction of the spiritual power is to spread outward and then gather into a thin film to wrap around the user, reducing weight and forming a layer of Wind Element spiritual power thrust under the feet.
Wind Element The transformation path of spiritual power Li Yuan has not been practiced specifically.
However, after Hundred Meridians Origin Return Art Major Accomplishment, the transformation of different attributes of spiritual power became much smoother, and the transformation process was smoother than expected.
Roll out Talisman Paper and put pen to paper.
The trend of Gale Pattern is divergent, which is different from the converging trend of most Talisman.
Light Body Pattern followed behind, taking back the expanded spiritual power and forming a thin film on the rune surface.
Conclude.
A very light bluish-white luster floats on the surface of the talisman, which is light and elegant.
It's done.
The two new Talisman were all successful in one go.
With the foundation of Talisman Crafting Art Major Accomplishment and the blessing of high-quality Talisman Brush, the new Talisman can be used much faster than before.
Li Yuan placed the two finished products on the corner of the table and moved his wrists.
The sky outside the window has become dark. The Spirit Lamp light from outside the courtyard wall seeps in through the gaps, reflecting the luster of the two new Talismans on the table more clearly.
Light blue and cyan white are placed side by side next to the red Fireball Talisman.
There are two more types of Talisman.
