After returning to Mine, Li Yuan plunged into practice.
Talisman Making during the day and practice at night. Go to the depths of Mine Cave every once in a while to collect the Fiend Qi accumulated in Fiend Gathering Bowl, equip it and perform a round of Body Tempering, and then take advantage of the window period after Fiend Qi Body Tempering to practice Micro-Origin Meridian Guiding Art.
After three days, the progress of Micro-Origin Meridian Guiding Art has increased a lot.
Hundred Meridians Origin Return Art is also advancing simultaneously.
The bottleneck of this Cultivation Method has been grinding away for a long time before reaching Mastery Stage. Every time it circulates around the world, the flow of spiritual power in the main veins and branch veins becomes smoother, but it is always one step away from the critical point.
On the second night, Li Yuan performed the exercises cross-legged, and the spiritual power surged out from the Dantian and traveled along the meridians for a complete week.
When I reached the last section Backflow, the spiritual energy did not pause at the entrance to the Dantian before sinking as before, but slid directly in.
There is no stagnation, no obstruction.
Immediately afterwards, the spiritual power inside the Dantian began to circulate on its own.
It's not Li Yuan that's guiding it, it's the spiritual power itself that has found the rhythm of its operation. The main meridians, branch meridians, and micro meridians that have been opened - the spiritual power in all the meridians starts to flow almost at the same time, not fast, but extremely evenly, like a net being tightened at the same time.
The efficiency of spiritual power circulation in the Dantian increased in just a few breaths.
Li Yuan slowly finished his work.
[Cultivation Method: Hundred Meridians Origin Return Art-Mastery(0/800)]
Mastery.
Li Yuan clenched his fist and ran it for another week to feel it.
The most intuitive change is the speed of cultivation. For the same week, the time is shortened by about 20% than before. The entire process of spiritual energy absorption, circulation, and precipitation is more compact, and there is no unnecessary consumption.
From now on, if you practice for the same amount of time every day, your progress will be much faster than before.
The next morning, Li Yuan was in the house when Talisman Making heard two knocks on the door.
"Li Garrison, do you have time?"
The voice of Steward Liu.
Li Yuan put down Talisman Brush and opened the door.
Steward Liu stood at the door, with his hands on his waist and a look on his face that was hesitant to speak.
"I have something to tell you."
He raised his chin towards the wooden shed, and the two of them went to sit under the shed.
"Do you have any impression of the organizer on Trading Fair the day before yesterday?"
"Yes, I also bought my Fireball Talisman."
"Yes." Steward Liu nodded. "His surname is Chen, and he is the elder of a small Lineage clan nearby. Chen Family. Lineage is not big, with only twenty or thirty monks."
Steward Liu sat down more firmly on the stone pier and continued.
"Demon Beast is making a lot of noise these days, and Chen Family is not at peace there either. The Spirit Field in front of their house and a small Mineral Vein Dao are both being targeted by Demon Beast. Demon Beast comes running over every three days. I can't just rely on my family to prevent them."
"What does he want from me?"
"I want your help in making Fire Element Talisman." Steward Liu rubbed his hands.
"Chen Family lacks fighting Talisman. The tribesman of Qi Refining Early Stage uses Talisman to defend Demon Beast, which is much better than empty-handed. He saw your Fireball Talisman on Trading Fair and thought the quality was good and wanted to collect it in bulk."
Steward Liu glanced at Li Yuan.
"He didn't come to you directly. He asked someone to find me first and asked me to ask you what you meant. After all, it's informal Trading Fair. I'm just leaving you alone for fear of what you might think."
Li Yuan didn't answer immediately after listening.
Steward Liu added, "It's okay if you don't want to talk. It's a normal transaction. Lineage is here and there's nothing we can do to you."
"What price did he offer?"
"He didn't tell me this, I guess you have to talk about it yourself."
Li Yuan was silent for two breaths and nodded.
"Okay."
Steward Liu nodded and then said.
"Chen Family is in Valley, about five miles east of Mine, not far away. He said that if you are willing to talk, you can go there this afternoon."
In the afternoon, Li Yuan left Mine in the direction pointed by Steward Liu and walked east.
After walking for more than two miles, the broken Stone Slope road turned into a trampled dirt road. There were a few short trees on both sides of the road, with inconspicuous marks carved on the tree trunks, which were probably the marks of the Chen Family territory.
After walking for a while, Valley was revealed in front.
The valley entrance is not wide, and the mountain walls on both sides are as steep as if they have been split. After entering the valley entrance, the terrain becomes much flatter. Several rows of stone houses line both sides of the valley wall, and there is an open space the size of a threshing floor in the middle.
A few children were chasing each other at the edge of the open space. When they saw Li Yuan coming in, they stopped and stared for a while, then continued playing.
A young man named Qi Refining Third Level came out and raised his hand to Li Yuan.
"Are you the Talisman Master over there at Mine? The clan leader is waiting for you, come with me."
The young man led Li Yuan through the open space and walked to the innermost row of houses.
The house is more stylish than the low house of Mine, with stone walls and wooden roof, and a faded cloth curtain hung at the door.
The curtain was opened, and sitting inside was the old man Qi Refining Seventh Layer on Trading Fair.
Elder Chen was sitting behind a rough wooden table. There was a pot of tea and two stoneware bowls on the table. Seeing Li Yuan come in, he nodded slightly and raised his hand to point to the opposite side.
"Sit."
Li Yuan sat down across the table.
Elder Chen poured him a bowl of tea and pushed it over. He picked up another bowl and took a sip. He didn't say any pleasantries and got down to business.
"I have used the Fireball Talisman pictures of yours on Trading Fair. They are in good condition. The superimposition of Fire-Gathering Pattern is very clean. It is much better than the ones made by Rogue Cultivator outside."
Li Yuan picked up the tea bowl but did not answer the call.
Elder Chen Put down the tea bowl.
"Our family is short of fighting Talisman right now, it's very short. Demon Beast comes to cause trouble every now and then. Most of the people below are on the second or third level of Qi Refining. It's hard for Demon Beast to even protect themselves when they meet First-Order Mid-Grade's Demon Beast."
He looked at Li Yuan.
"It's different with Talisman. Even if it's a Qi Refining, First Layer person, holding a few Fireball Talismans in his hand, he can at least hit a dozen Demon Beasts against Low-grade First-Orders, instead of running away."
"So I want to order a batch of combat Talisman with you. The quantity is larger and the supply is long-term."
Li Yuan Put down the tea bowl.
"I only know Fireball Talisman."
Elder Chen nodded, not surprised.
"Fireball Talisman is enough. Fire Element Talisman is easy to deal with Demon Beast. Most First-Order Demon Beast are afraid of fire."
He held out three fingers.
"The first batch requires thirty sheets. Later, we will collect a batch every half month, and each batch will be no less than fifty sheets. What's the price--"
He paused and raised two fingers.
"Two and a half dollars a piece."
It's half a dollar lower than the transaction price on Trading Fair.
Li Yuan did not answer immediately.
Elder Chen saw what he was thinking and answered unhurriedly.
"The price is a bit low, but the quantity is large. And I don't just pay with Spirit Stone."
He took out a thin roll of animal skin from the drawer under the table and placed it on the table.
"I have some Talisman preparation methods here that I can give you."
He tapped the roll of animal hide with his finger.
"This Talisman production method costs you ten Spirit Stone, but it's not too much."
Li Yuan's eyes fell on the roll of animal skin.
Talisman preparation method.
"Let's take a look first."
Li Yuan said.
Elder Chen Push the hide over.
Li Yuan Expand.
The animal skin is densely painted with Spirit Pattern layout diagram and production method tips in neat handwriting. There are three words written on the top - Rejuvenation Talisman.
The function of Basic Talisman with wood properties is to accelerate wound healing. It is not a direct repair like Healing Pill medicine, but stimulates the body's own recovery ability. The effect is mild but practical. The grade is not high, Low-grade First-Order, but the production difficulty is one level higher than Cleaning Talisman and Warding Talisman.
Elder Chen picked up the tea bowl again. "After the first batch Fireball Talisman is delivered, this preparation method belongs to you. I have other preparation methods for subsequent batches. We will discuss it based on your supply."
He took a sip of tea and added.
"But the most urgent thing right now is Fireball Talisman. Rejuvenation Talisman is not in a hurry. You can supply the quantity of Fireball Talisman first."
Li Yuan Roll up the animal skin and put it back on the table.
"Thirty pieces of Fireball Talisman, when do you want them?"
"The sooner the better. Can it be delivered within seven days?"
With the current success rate and the material reserves on hand, thirty pictures in seven days is not easy, but it is not impossible.
"Okay."
Elder Chen nodded, the expression on his face relaxed a little.
"Okay. Come back in seven days and pay cash on delivery."
He stood up, took two steps toward the door, and looked back at Li Yuan.
"By the way, if you are lacking anything in terms of materials, you can tell me. I don't have much stock of Green-Veined Paper and Spirit Ink here, but I can help you get some from other channels."
"That's enough for now."
Elder Chen hummed, opened the curtain and walked out.
Li Yuan sat at the table for a while, finished the bowl of tea on the table, got up and left Chen Family.
When we walked back to Mine along the original road, it was already mostly dark.
Back in the low house, Li Yuan cleaned the desktop, spread out Talisman Paper, dipped in ink, and put pen to paper.
Thirty Fireball Talisman, seven days.
On average, there are four finished paintings a day. Based on a success rate of more than 60%, I have to draw at least six or seven paintings every day.
There are enough materials and enough time.
