Chapter Six: Is There Still Justice in the World
The third attempt has finally succeeded
Upon seeing Wei Suo enter, the old man in the green robe immediately knew that there was certainly nothing wrong with Wei Suo's fireball talisman. However, Wei Suo's next action left him feeling a chill, rendering him speechless for a moment.
Due to the daily patrols by skilled individuals from the Tianyi Gate, the safety of Lingyue City is ensured. In recent years, the number of demon beasts in the surrounding wilderness has significantly increased compared to previous years. For instance, five years ago, it was absolutely impossible for a second-tier demon beast like the Stone-tailed Wall Lizard to appear in the Huangsha Canyon, which is only separated from Lingyue City by a few mountain ranges.
The black wild cat was almost scared out of its wits, its fur standing on end, and it leaped as if riding the wind, jumping from the upper part of the tree to a wall some distance away, trembling all over.
Weiso was drenched in sweat from head to toe
"I must tell you, it is not yet the time for your excitement." The old man in the green robe looked at Wei Suo seriously, "Whether it is talisman crafting, alchemy, or artifact forging, the most important factor is the success rate. A talisman master with a success rate below 20% is essentially useless, as the value of the talismans produced does not exceed the cost of the materials consumed."
It seemed that Wei Suo had suddenly stumbled upon a large pile of spiritual stones at hetushu.com, and surprisingly, he had touched the breasts on a few of the beautiful images. At this moment, he finally understood why the color of the breast area in these images was somewhat different from the rest.
I don't know. My parents went out to hunt monsters when I was thirteen and never came back. They only left me a book of the Purple Profound True Scripture. Wei Suo also glanced curiously at the old man in the green robe and asked, "Why do you want to know this?"
However, Wei Suo's current success rate is close to 50%! This is only the first successful refinement of a talisman today. If this continues for a longer period, what will his success rate be?
What do you say? The old man in the green robe cast a cold glance at Wei Suo.
On the first talisman, the stroke of the central symbol was slightly misaligned, causing the entire talisman to ignite violently. Fortunately, Wei Suo had gained experience and was not burned by the flames that erupted.
Lingyue City is currently governed by the Tianyi Sect. Any loose cultivator can reside in Lingyue City by paying a certain amount of spirit stones, while ordinary mortals can obtain the right to reside by performing tasks for various sects.
You can first try the spell at mhetushucomcom to see if it is indeed the same as I mentioned, which is a first-level fireball spell. The old man in the green robe looked at Wei Suo and said, "As for the others, we will discuss them when you return"
"Kid, are you dead? If not, how about we have a chat? You tell me some things, and I'll tell you some things too," the old man in the green robe said after a moment of complex contemplation.
Water Spirit, perhaps by then you will truly become my wife
On a distant path, two individuals walking towards Lingyue City were taken aback by the scene before them. "Using a first-level fireball talisman to catch a wild cat, is there no justice in this world?"
If one does not reside within the city, in addition to the threat posed by demonic beasts, there is also the possibility of being killed and robbed by other rogue cultivators. Therefore, as long as they can afford the rent, almost all low-level rogue cultivators will compete to pay spirit stones to live in the city
When Wei Su stopped, the black wildcat bared its teeth, as if urging Wei Su to quickly get lost and not to disturb its mating call
... ...
... ...
Wei Su almost floated back into the stone house in the west of Lingyue City
By the time he successfully refined the sixth first-level fireball talisman, Weisuo was utterly exhausted, slumped over the stone table, too tired even to move a finger
Currently, Wei Suo does not possess any flying escape techniques at all. Moreover, given his current level of cultivation, even if he were to learn any flying escape techniques, his true essence would likely only suffice for him to fly for half a stick of incense. For someone like him, attempting to use talismans does not constitute private combat. However, to avoid the trouble of inquiries from the Tianyi Sect, Wei Suo still chose to leave the city
Wei Suo was completely unaware that even for an ordinary professional talisman maker, the success rate of crafting a first-level talisman they are proficient in is only around 60%. For a first-level talisman they are not familiar with, the success rate may be less than 40%
Wei Su was taken aback and said, "Old man, are you saying that I still need to test my success rate?"
With a success rate of less than fifty percent, and feeling utterly exhausted, Weiss was indeed feeling somewhat frustrated at this moment
Therefore, although it is referred to as rent, in reality, it is merely a protection fee. However, essentially all loose cultivators in Lingyue City have no complaints about it
The remaining blood of the fire scorpion is sufficient to refine a total of 14 first-level fire talismans. Wei Su ruined 8 talismans and successfully produced 6, spending over an hour in total, with a success rate of less than fifty percent.
Less than half a mile outside the city, Wei Suo saw an abandoned house nearby, where a black wild cat was desperately calling for a mate on a crooked willow tree.
The only inconvenience is that flying and private dueling are not permitted in the city
From the recent situation, it is evident that this young man is certainly not a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. The old man in the green robe is well aware that a cultivator without any experience in talisman crafting would absolutely not be able to successfully produce a first-tier fireball talisman in less than one or two months.
Hehe
Wei Su held a freshly minted talisman as he exited the western gate of Lingyue City
It has developed
This is truly prosperous now
I ... ... operate !
The old man in the green robe had a very complex expression in his eyes
In an environment as poor as that of a small stone house like Wei Suo's, where there are hardly any facilities, the monthly rent amounts to two low-grade spirit stones. If the rent is not paid for more than two months, one would have no choice but to move outside Lingyue City.
Wei Suo's eyes turned, and with a mere flick of his hand, a fireball the size of a dustpan exploded beneath the willow tree, instantly shattering the lower half of the tree into pieces, with flames blazing fiercely.
However, the old man in the green robe had already begun to devise his plans in his heart
This type of talisman crafting requires a high level of mental concentration, as it not only consumes a significant amount of physical energy but also greatly depletes mental resources
Wei Suo stood gravely in front of the humble stone table, as this matter pertained to his grand plan for wealth, and he could not afford to take it lightly
"By the way, Green-Haired Old Man," Wei Su seemed to recall something, looking at the old man in the green robe and asking, "You mentioned that after I tried this fireball talisman, you had something to tell me. What is it that you want to say?"
This is outrageous!
Not only did the black wild cat startle others, but even Wei Su himself was taken aback. When this fire talisman was activated, the scattered heat made his skin feel a sharp burning sensation. The power of this first-level fireball talisman seemed to be even greater than that of the fireball talisman used by the silver-clad beauty with the alluring figure.
Weisuo successfully forged a talisman in just seven days, which can only indicate one thing: this young man possesses a remarkable talent for talisman crafting. The old man in the green robe, with his experience spanning several tens of thousands of years, understands better than anyone what such talent signifies at this moment
In the second drawing, it was clearly completed, yet there was no understanding of where the deviation occurred, and the talisman did not emit any heat at all
Meow
Are your parents talismans masters? Weapon refiners?" the old man in the green robe couldn't help but ask
