Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 347 The talisman contains the shadow of the hexagram, and golden light fills the sky!

"If you ask me, no matter how amazing that young man is, it is impossible for him to cultivate both the art of alchemy and the art of talisman to the level of a grandmaster at the same time!"

Xiao Sanhuo suddenly spoke up with a confident look, "In this long-standing cultivation world, there are countless talented people emerging, as numerous as stars."

"But looking back through the ages, I have never heard of any cultivator who practices both alchemy and talismans and can reach the level of 'dual cultivation and dual excellence'!"

"I admit that he is very strong."

"But I still don't think that young man who doesn't look much older than my grandson will be the first person to carry on the tradition of 'Dan Fu Shuang Jue'!"

At this time, Wang Youyu slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, who cares if it is true or not, we will know after we go and take a look."

"Since I have been piqued by this matter, I will not be able to sleep unless I get to the bottom of it."

"Why not follow the example of yesterday, climb up high and take a look to find out what's going on!"

Upon hearing this, the chubby Cui Ling stood up with a bang and said, "That's what I was thinking too. Let's go together!"

Huangfu Fenhua and Xiao Sanhuo also nodded.

At the same time, in the talisman making room.

Ding Chen took out the "paper" cut from the "beast heart membrane" of the gold beast king and spread it flat on the desk.

Then he took out a dozen monster crystal cores of various sizes from his storage ring;

It was then mixed with some spiritual materials and placed into the specially made inkstone beside the table.

This inkstone, like the pen used to draw talismans, is not an ordinary item.

An ordinary spiritual sword would hardly leave even a single mark no matter how many times you chopped it horizontally or vertically!

At this time, Ding Chen slowly raised his right hand and held up two fingers——

"Om~"

A blue-purple flame suddenly appeared.

Then, Ding Chen condensed the power of the mysterious spirit on his fingers, used them as a "pestle", inserted them into the inkstone, and began to grind in an orderly manner!

This is the crucial first step in making talismans: grinding the ink.

The "grinding of ink" in the process of making talismans does not mean just wrapping the mysterious spiritual energy around the fingertips and then pressing and rubbing them randomly against the monster crystal core and spiritual materials.

First of all, during the process of grinding ink, the Xuan Fu Master must not destroy the original spiritual power of each crystal core.

Secondly, during the process of grinding ink, the Xuan Fu Master has to mix the energy compatibility of up to a dozen or even dozens of materials to the proportion he needs.

No matter one cent more or one cent less, it will make it difficult to draw the talisman because the texture of the "ink" will be destroyed!

Finally, the ground "ink residue" should be fine and soft enough, finer than sand.

"Crack, hiss, sizzle..."

The slightly harsh grinding sound never stops.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Using his finger as a pestle, Ding Chen finally ground all the large and small lumps in the inkstone into powder.

Next, we enter the second step of talisman making: drawing blood.

Most of the time, "drawing blood" means injecting the blood of some kind of monster into the inkstone.

Then grind it together with the crystal cores and other materials that have been broken into powder.

During this period, the amount of "blood drawn" must be precisely controlled;

During the grinding process, the energy between various spiritual materials and animal blood collides and blends, and every step tests the true skills of the "Xuan Fu Master"!

This step usually takes as short as one or two hours, or as long as three to five days...

Even spending ten days or half a month is not impossible!

Until the crystal core, spiritual materials, and beast blood are all blended together into a "juice" state, and there is no longer any rejection reaction between them.

The "ink" for drawing talismans has been successfully prepared.

This step only took Ding Chen half an hour.

When ordinary Xuan Fu masters "draw blood", they are very cautious and dare not rush, but seek safety.

But for Ding Chen, drawing a "top-grade Xuan-level" talisman, whether it is the initial "grinding ink" or the subsequent "drawing blood", can be said to be a piece of cake.

He can do it with his eyes closed!

The next step is the third step in making the talisman: drawing patterns and seal characters.

Ding Chen dipped the talisman pen into the ink he had just ground and mixed, and wrote on the talisman paper.

Every stroke of his, whether fast or slow, sharp or round, was very methodical.

When the pen tip moves slowly, it is like a snail climbing a tree, and it cannot move half an inch for a long time.

When the pen tip moves fast, it is like a gust of wind blowing through the grass, passing by in a flash!

During the entire process of drawing patterns and seal characters, every stroke must be connected and must not be interrupted.

In addition, the length, thickness and thickness of each stroke are also strictly regulated.

If the Xuan Fu Master slightly exceeds the established specifications when drawing the patterns and characters, the talisman will be damaged, the ink will burn, and the paper will be ruined!

You have to know that a talisman, from the time the pen is put to paper to the time it is finished, all the horizontal, vertical, left-falling, right-falling strokes, frames, circles, and dots together, will take at least two or three hundred steps.

Some high-grade talismans even have thousands or even tens of thousands of steps!

How easy is it to ensure that every step is consistent and correct in length, thickness and detail?

Because of this, the step of "drawing patterns and seal characters" can best show whether the Xuanfu Master's skills are profound...

Ding Chen took this step for more than three hours, starting from shortly after nightfall.

During this time, the whole city was quiet at night.

Only Xiao Sanhuo and his party climbed to the top of a tall building early and looked intently towards the location of the [Zunge City within a City].

When a streak of dawn appeared in the eastern sky, Ding Chen had just completed the last stroke.

Just as he was finishing and leaving the table——

"Buzz!"

A particularly eye-catching shadow of words suddenly lit up in the sky above the talisman-making room.

This is actually a huge, red-glowing "Fu" character!

Lights and shadows gathered and dispersed in midair, transforming into the eight trigrams of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui...

"Is this the legendary 'The talisman contains the shadow of the hexagram, and the golden light fills the sky'?!"

On the rooftop, Wang Youyu's pair of triangular eyes with slits widened into a rare wide open position!

It was because the old man was too shocked.

As we all know, "the light of the elixir is like a rainbow, shooting straight into the sky" is the scene when the Xuandan Master "perfectly makes the elixir".

Then at this moment, "the talisman contains the shadow of the hexagram, and the golden light spreads throughout the sky" is the unique landscape of the "perfect talisman" of the Xuanfu masters!

For a moment, the four ministers were all dumbfounded.

It turns out that the special skylight that can "transmit light and change color" designed by [Four Sects United City] specifically for the "big brothers of alchemy" is also available in this talisman-making room.

As long as someone can make a talisman perfectly in the talisman-making room.

The scene of "the talisman contains the shadow of the hexagram, and the golden light spreads throughout the sky" is created. The light emitted through the special skylight will also emit four colors: red, yellow, blue and green, depending on the grade of the talisman.

The green light characters are "mortal-level talismans", and the blue light characters are "spiritual-level talismans".

The golden light character represents the talisman grade of "perfect talisman", which is between the lower and middle grades of the Xuan grade.

The master of Xuanfu who made this talisman deserves the title of "Grandmaster".

And like the one at this moment, the red glowing shadows of the characters indicate that the quality of the perfect talisman has reached the upper level of the Xuan level!

This is a miracle that only a "Grand Master of Talismans" can create...

Just yesterday, Xiao Sanhuo and others witnessed Ding Chen's feat of "perfect elixir making" with their own eyes.

Besides being shocked, the four of them all felt that the young man might just have been lucky and it happened by coincidence.

Now, this "perfect talisman" that was completed just one day later made the four old guys no longer have any jealousy!

Within two days, the elixir and the talisman were both perfectly formed...

It can't be that I'm just lucky or guessing, right?

"This senior actually achieved the 'double excellence of elixir and talisman'?!"

Huangfu Fenhua still finds it unbelievable, as if she were in a dream.

"He is both a great master of the way of alchemy and a great master of the way of talismans."

"It's truly unprecedented and will never be surpassed!"

For a moment, Xiao Sanhuo and the others all felt an unattainable sense of suffocation towards the mysterious and powerful young man...
