Chapter 7: Charm Making!

Chapter 7: Rune Making!

Lu Changsheng was also a bit surprised when he heard this.

Although he had obtained the Second Order Talisman Making Skill through the system, he really wasn’t clear about the exact difficulty of making talismans.

Only then did he realize that talisman making was much harder than he thought.

A newcomer, thousands of times practicing before getting started and becoming an Entry Grade Rune Master.

This Entry Grade Rune Master refers to a First Order Lower Grade Rune Master.

First Order Talisman Masters were divided into First Order Lower Grade Talisman Masters, First Order Middle Grade Talisman Masters, First Order Upper Grade Talisman Masters, and First Order Top Grade Talisman Masters based on the talismans they could draw.

The second-order runesmiths are similarly divided.

Lu Changsheng gained the Second Order Talisman Making Skill and was Second Order Full.

That is, a second-order top runic master.

For a newcomer, if he wanted to raise his talisman making skill to the second rank, the amount of time, energy, and money spent on it was simply incalculable.

It even takes a lifetime of energy and effort to reach it.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng felt that this Second Order Talisman Making Skill was much more precious than he had imagined.

“Boss, I still want to try.”

Lu Changsheng said with a determined look on his face.

What does it have to do with yourself if it’s even harder, the harder it is to become a talisman master, it means that the more popular your craft is.

“Alright, since you insist on buying it, I can’t afford not to sell it to you.”

Seeing that Lu Changsheng still insisted, the shopkeeper didn’t persuade him much.

A couple of mentions would have been kind of him.

Young people don’t turn back until they hit the wall.

“Ordinary Wolf Hair Talisman Brushes, twenty spirit stones a piece, can be used about two hundred times.”

“First rank ordinary talisman paper, one spirit stone per pile, ten sheets per pile.”

“First rank ordinary spirit ink, one spirit stone per box, can be used almost fifty times.”

The shopkeeper quoted the price.

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he nodded and took the flying sword out, saying, “Boss, please give an estimate for this flying sword.”

“This is the reward that the previous family head gave you, right?”

The shopkeeper was a bit surprised, not expecting Lu Changsheng to sell his flying sword in order to make a talisman.

Think about it, he’s a door-to-door flunky, where does he get the money if he doesn’t sell flying swords.

“Exactly.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

“This flying sword, I won’t let you suffer either, fifty spirit stones.”

The shopkeeper held out a hand.

“OK.”

“Then I trouble you, Boss, to give me a wolf-hair talisman brush, ten dozen talisman papers, and two boxes of spirit ink.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said, placing the flying sword on the cabinet table.

The other party really didn’t press the price, this flying sword was only a few more spirit stones when he took it out to sell.

Thinking that Lu Lanshu had given birth and Lu Zi’er and Lu Qing’er were about to give birth, Lu Changsheng added.

“Give me another pound each of ginseng, licorice, angelica, yellow essence, and wolfberry.”

These were all medicinal herbs that the Lu family had grown themselves, belonging to the spiritual plants, which had the effect of cultivating energy and replenishing qi.

“Alright, thirty-seven spirit stones in total, I’ll find you thirteen more.”

The shopkeeper put away his flysword and turned back to take out what Lu Changsheng had asked for, giving him another thirteen spirit stones.

“Thanks, Boss.”

Lu Changsheng thanked him and left with his things.

Inside the study.

Lu Changsheng placed a whole set of talisman pens, talisman paper, and spirit ink, neatly arranged on the desk.

Next to it was a copy of “Introduction to Talismans” and “The Complete Book of Basic Talismans”.

The information on the techniques given by the system contained many kinds of talismans.

But do the whole play.

You can’t become a rune master without reading a single book yourself, can you?

It’s a bit of a stretch.

So, to be on the safe side, Lu Changsheng made another appearance and made a trip to the Lu Family Book Building, spending a spirit stone to rent two books on talismans.

“The materials to draw a hundred talismans cost almost twenty-two spirit stones.”

“A first-order lower-grade talisman can be sold for 1~2 spirit stones, and if all of them are drawn into a talisman, there is a minimum of five times the profit, and a maximum of almost ten times the profit.”

“If all of them can be drawn into first-order mid-grade talismans, then the profit can go up to more than twenty times!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, the profit, it’s really high.”

“My talisman making belongs to the full rank of the second order, and drawing all of these materials, all of them, into first-order mid-grade talismans can be considered a breeze.”

Lu Changsheng skillfully ground and blended the spirit ink, calculating in his mind.

Talismans of different grades had different requirements for materials.

Like the wolf-hair talisman pen he bought, it belonged to the most ordinary talisman pen, suitable for beginners, and could only draw basic talismans and first-order lower- and middle-grade talismans.

It can’t exactly be said that it can’t be used to draw first-order upper-grade, extreme-grade talismans.

It’s just that it affects the success rate of the talisman, and the talisman pen is easy to wear out and be scrapped.

Generally, talisman masters who were able to draw first-order mid-grade, top-grade, and extreme-grade talismans wouldn’t be too far behind this amount of money.

It’s all about trying to buy good materials and tools to improve your rate of becoming a charm.

And the same goes for talisman paper and spirit ink, which are categorized into ordinary, advanced, and extreme, three grades.

Ordinary ones draw up to a maximum of first-order medium-grade talismans.

The advanced ones are suitable for drawing first-order medium and top-grade talismans.

The very best ones are suitable for drawing first-order upper-grade and extreme-grade talismans.

After grinding and blending the ink, Lu Changsheng spread out the talisman paper, held the talisman brush in his hand, took two deep breaths to calm his mind, and began to try to make talismans.

If you are a beginner, this is also the time to bathe and change your clothes, tune your body, mind, breath, and other rituals.

But Lu Changsheng had hung on, and his mind had long since rolled over, so naturally he didn’t need to.

The charm pen was dipped in the ink.

Then the spiritual energy in his body surged to his palm, penetrated into the talismanic brush in his hand, and then transmitted to the tip of the brush, causing the tip of the brush, which was stained with spiritual ink, to emit a faint glittering light.

The tip of the pen fell on the blank talisman paper and began to stroke and splash the ink.

The whole process flowed smoothly, without a single moment’s delay.

Lu Changsheng raised his hand.

However, a layer of light emerged from the talisman paper on the table, emitting faint aura fluctuations, causing the spirit ink on it to solidify quickly.

Within a short time, the spirit ink solidified, and the light on the talisman paper flowed, then gradually dimmed and faded into obscurity.

First Order Lower Grade Talisman, Fire Bomb Talisman, complete!

“Whew!”

Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng also exhaled a long breath, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

It’s one thing to acquire the relevant skills, but it’s another to actually draw them into a talisman yourself.

“This drawing of talismans is still quite consuming of spiritual energy, with my spiritual energy of the first level of Qi Refining, I can at most draw two or three talismans of the lower grade of the first rank.”

“If we were to draw a first-order mid-grade talisman, we would estimate that there would be at most one.”

Lu Changsheng took this Fire Bomb Talisman in his hands and carefully examined it.

Just by injecting a trace of spiritual energy, the talisman could be activated, releasing a fire bomb.

In terms of power, it was about the same as the Fire Bomb Technique of the third level of Qi Refining.

This is the power of the talisman.

Lu Changsheng was only at the first level of Qi Refining, and using a single Fire Bomb Technique would be able to drain him of all his spiritual energy.

However, with this amount of spiritual energy, he was able to draw two or three, fire bomb techniques with a power at the third level of Qi Refining!

Immediately, Lu Changsheng drew another Lightness Talisman and Spring Return Talisman.

All of them were first-order lower-grade talismans.

Feeling that if he continued drawing, not only would his spiritual energy be drained, but his mind would also be a bit tired, Lu Changsheng put away the three talismans and began to meditate and cultivate.

The next day, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

After meditating for a night, his spiritual energy and energy had been restored in abundance.

It was probably because drawing talismans yesterday had caused a certain amount of consumption of his spiritual energy and mind, making last night’s cultivation a few points better than usual.

“Talisman making consumes spiritual energy spiritually, and it can also slightly assist in cultivation?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised.

But didn’t care too much about the few effects.

He came to the desk and picked up the wolf-hair talisman brush, ready to attempt to draw a first-order medium-grade talisman.

The tip of the pen was dipped into the ink, and without hesitation, the pen began to fall.

The strokes of the brush were faintly spiritual, wildly cursive on the talismanic paper, flowing in the clouds and flowing in the water, very smooth and smooth, without the slightest accident.

However, the moment he finished putting up his brush, Lu Changsheng’s forehead was sweating, his face was white, and his entire body seemed to have been drained, and he lay back against the chair behind him with a deflated face.

After a long time, Lu Changsheng exhaled a long breath and sat up, picking up the talisman on the table.

First rank middle grade talisman – Golden Light Talisman.

When activated, it releases a layer of golden light to shield itself, and can withstand a blow from the sixth level of Qi Refining.

“Right now, a first-order mid-grade talisman is still a bit of a struggle for me.”

Lu Changsheng said mentally, putting the talisman away and hiding it.

In the following days, besides cultivating, he also made more charms.

Almost every day, he drew two or three first-order lower-grade talismans.

Or a first-order medium-grade talisman.

All of these talismans were hidden in his study cabinet, waiting for a chance to take them out later.
