Talisman-Making Room Completed
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he did not immediately begin synthesizing the building, but instead opened the Item Synthesizer.
When he bought paper in the county town, he also bought pens at the same time, just in preparation for using them now.
He already has ink; he doesn't need to buy any more.
As for the inkstone, he found it while wandering around the county town. He saw a new stall selling a lot of stones, but it was clear that people in the county town didn't like to waste money on buying stones, so the stall wasn't doing very well. Lin Xiao immediately spent very little money to buy a lot of stones, and then polished them himself, turning them into an inkstone that looked quite antique.
Lin Xiao planned to tell Jianghe He about this method when he returned with a letter.
This is also a way to make money.
Seeing that he was about to tinker with something, Tietou didn't make a sound to disturb him and just sat quietly to the side and waited.
Lin Xiao first put the pen into the synthesizer, then added a Spirit Stone. He planned to try and see if he could synthesize the talisman pen needed to draw talismans.
A moment later, as expected, the Item Synthesizer spat out a spirit talisman pen for him.
Lin Xiao was immediately relieved and began mass-producing ink, paper, and inkstones.
By the time everyone in the sect had gone up the mountain and entered the cultivation room to cultivate, Lin Xiao had obtained several sets of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones needed for making talismans.
Because Lin Xiao and Tietou were sitting behind that huge mound of earth, the people going up the mountain didn't notice them there.
After preparing the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, Lin Xiao turned off the Item Synthesizer and turned on the Building Synthesizer.
With Tietou's help, Lin Xiao quickly put enough soil into the first slot of the Building Synthesizer.
Then the beams are placed in.
Then there's a complete set of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for making talismans.
Lin Xiao planned to try synthesizing a talisman-making room first.
Because he currently lacks the tools for refining weapons and creating magic arrays, he has no plans to synthesize the Artifact Refining Hall and the Formation Hall at this time.
Lin Xiao felt he might need to consult Senior Liao about the tools required for these two technologies later.
When the system notification sounded in his mind, a building covering an area of about thirty square meters appeared in front of him.
[Ding--Talisman crafting successful. Please select a placement location.]
Lin Xiao thought for a moment and placed it on the other side behind the sect's main hall, opposite the Alchemy Chamber.
[Congratulations, host! The talisman-making room has been successfully built. The sect construction task [Sect Facility (2)] has been completed. The reward has been sent to your private treasury. Please check your account.]
Lin Xiao first said to Tietou Tou:
"Tietou, it's done. From now on, this will be our talisman-making room, a place specifically for making talismans, like Teleportation Talisman."
Looking at the suddenly appearing talisman-making room, Tietou was filled with surprise and admiration.
Although buildings like the sect's main hall and cultivation rooms seemed to appear suddenly, he had never witnessed their appearance before. Now that he was seeing them with his own eyes, the feeling of shock was extraordinary.
He scratched his head and chuckled:
"Brother Xiao, you're amazing! Is this the Law Technique that the old immortal taught you?"
Lin Xiao had no choice but to acquiesce.
"It's getting late, you should go and cultivate."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be leaving, Tietou asked:
"Brother Xiao, aren't you going?"
Lin Xiao was planning to consult with Senior Liao later, so he said to him:
"I have something to do, I'll go later."
Hearing this, Tietou didn't waste any more words and quickly ran towards the training room.
He needs to focus on his cultivation so he can help Brother Xiao in more ways! That way, Brother Xiao won't have to constantly sacrifice his cultivation time!
After watching Tietou leave, Lin Xiao opened his private vault to check the rewards for this mission.
Two new items appeared in the private vault.
[Complete Compendium of Basic Talisman Drawing x1, Lacquer Night Tree x10]
Oh, I have an extra hundred Spirit Stone.
That's not important.
Looking at the Lacquer Night Tree, Lin Xiao thought, "This isn't a seed. Using the identification function shouldn't tell me anything like it did with seeds before, like ' Lacquer Night Tree, it can grow into Lacquer Night Tree seedling,' right?"
So he used the identification function on the Lacquer Night Tree.
[The Lacquer Night Tree takes thirty years to grow in ordinary soil and three years in spiritual soil. Proper fertilization can reduce the growth time. Once grown, it produces Lacquer Night Tree, an excellent material for making talisman ink.]
He was very satisfied with the functions of the Lacquer Night Tree.
The stable source of ink, the main consumable for talisman making, has been solved. As long as the sect starts planting the Lacquer Night Tree, there will be a continuous supply of ink in the future.
After checking the rewards, Lin Xiao got up and walked towards Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling.
He needs to learn from Senior Liao about the specific methods of weapon crafting and magic arrays.
Senior Liao was still holed up in his little house, drinking tea.
Seeing Lin Xiao arrive, he stroked his beard and said steadily:
"You wouldn't come to this temple without a reason. What brings you here so early in the morning?"
Lin Xiao smiled and reached out to turn the teacup that was upside down on the tray next to him right up and place it in front of him. He picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and then sat down.
"What are you saying, senior? Can't I just come to see you?"
Liao Pantu just raising his teacup to his lips when he heard this and snorted:
"Okay, but you absolutely mustn't bring up anything to talk about."
Lin Xiao took a sip of tea, feeling a lingering fragrance on his palate. He smacked his lips, seemingly wanting more, and took another sip before saying:
"However, I do have some questions I'd like to ask you, senior."
Liao Pantu his eyes at him.
"You're all talk and no action. Instead of wasting your time on these trivial matters, you should be cultivating to help me find a body and soul."
"Senior, rest assured, I will definitely keep my promise to you. Isn't our sect in a state of great need for reconstruction right now? There are many things I don't understand, and I can only learn by trial and error. I still need your help a lot!"
Once our sect develops well, everyone will benefit, right? And once we're powerful, I'll go and capture that enemy of yours for you, and leave him outside for you to beat up as you please!"
Liao Pantu refused to listen to his empty promises.
"Hmph~ If you have something to say, just say it."
Lin Xiao put down his empty teacup, sat up straight, and said:
"Could you please explain to me the process of refining weapons and creating magic arrays, as well as the tools required?"
"Oh, this."
Liao Pantu also put down his teacup, thought for a moment, and then said:
"How can the process of refining weapons and creating magic arrays be fully explained in just a few words? I haven't dabbled in these two areas much either. I only tried them occasionally in the sect when I was building my foundation and core. As for the process... you'll know when you actually learn these two things yourself."
As for tools, there are two main types of tools needed for refining artifacts: one is a spirit hammer used for hammering, quenching, and shaping; the other is a cauldron used for refining. For magic arrays, there are generally carving knives and array plates. The array brush is actually a spirit brush, but a true array master can carve arrays even using other tools.
After listening to his explanation, Lin Xiao had a general understanding of the two concepts.
