MTL - As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Chapter 154 cooperate

  Chapter 154 Cooperation

  Time passed, the chaos of the past was gradually forgotten, and Xiaoqian Mountain returned to its former prosperity. Countless casual practitioners or ordinary people came here to seek opportunities for prosperity.

  However, under this prosperity, there are more forgotten ants at the bottom, like layers of dead bones, guarding this prosperous mountain...

   Half a year after Jiang Ming returned to Xiaoqian Mountain, Lao Guzi suddenly came to say goodbye.

   "Brother Jiang, I really can't go on this road of cultivating immortals. Thank you for taking care of me these years..."

  Jiang Ming patted him on the shoulder without dissuading him, and gave Lao Guzi a pot of spiritual wine as a farewell gift.

   "Brother Jiang, what do you think you are cultivating to the end..." Old Guzi's white hair was messy, and he was a little dazed.

  Jiang Ming was silent, and he couldn't give Lao Guzi an answer.

  The two chatted for a while, until the sun was setting in the west, Jiang Ming looked at Lao Guzi who was going down the mountain lonely, and sighed softly... The road to immortality is based on one breath, and when Lao Guzi loses his breath, he no longer has the motivation to move forward.

  He shook his head, returned to the courtyard calmly, and continued to practice.

This kind of thing happens every day. The Road to Cultivation of Immortals is a road to the sky with unlimited prospects, but this road is also extremely difficult. Even Jiang Ming needs to be cautious and careful in every way, and he has no leisure to sympathize with others. …

  Old Guzi, who had a good friendship, appeared and left in his long life, only a few decades...It was just a small episode.

   "However, after this chaos in Xiaoqianshan, the aftermath brought by it is also beneficial to me. At least many casual cultivators have learned to plan ahead and stock up various elixir talismans in advance!"

"This has made my elixir sell well. The three or four types of elixir that I mainly refine now can already bring me a net profit of more than 300 spirit stones every month, which is enough for me to drink monster meat two or three times a month. Tang, the blood energy of martial arts is steadily changing, becoming more and more condensed and powerful..."

It's just that Jiang Ming doesn't know when the complete transformation will be completed. After all, there are too few people walking this road. Jiang Ming has collected various classics and miscellaneous books. Except for the roughly described path, he can't find a path that can referenced records.

  If it weren't for Xiaolei Yin Jue and Incomplete Breathing Technique, which could bring him real progress every day, Jiang Ming would have some doubts whether this road really existed.

   "Perhaps there is such a practice in the so-called three great caves and six blessed places..."

  Jiang Ming thought, after all, Xiaoqianshan is a place for casual cultivators, and ordinary exercises may still be found, but some rare materials are involved, but it is difficult to find them.

  …

   A few days after Lao Guzi left, when Jiang Ming passed by his small courtyard, he saw another person living in it.

   "May I ask if it's Master Jiang?"

  Jiang Ming was just about to leave, when a figure who had just walked out of the gate of the courtyard quickly stepped forward, greeted Jiang Ming with a smile.

This is an emaciated monk who looks to be in his fifties or sixties, with six levels of Qi training, wearing a plain green robe, his hair mixed with black and gray is neatly combed, his face is clear and his eyes are clear, if placed in the mortal world, Properly a senior expert who lives in seclusion outside the mountains.

  The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Jiang Ming was embarrassed to just shake his face and leave, waving his hand and saying: "You are welcome, fellow Daoist, just call me Lao Jiang!"

  Now Jiang Ming, in Xiaoqianshan, is also an old guy in his seventies...

   "How dare... Master Jiang's name, no one in Xiaoqianshan knows that he is both excellent in planting and alchemy!"

  The skinny cultivator admired him sincerely, and cupped his hands: "I'm at Xiayue Changmu, please take care of Master Jiang from now on..."

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Ming was a little surprised. This guy used to be a Taoist priest who lived in the mountains and forests. He had been a Taoist priest in the common world for decades. There is no bottleneck, and he has cultivated all the way to the fifth level of Qi training in just over ten years, which can be called a late bloomer.

   "This is a lightweight talisman I made, it can be regarded as a meeting gift with fellow Taoists!" Yue Changmu handed over two more cyan talismans and said with a smile.

   "Fellow Daoist is very talented, may I ask where the teacher came from?"

  Jiang Ming looked at Yue Changmu in amazement. Talisman making seems to be a simple drawing of ghosts and symbols, but it is much more difficult than alchemy.

  Alchemy is just a matter of spending money. Although there are some technical requirements, it is basically just practice makes perfect... As long as the family background is strong enough, sooner or later an alchemist will be born.

However, making talismans is different. A talisman requires extremely high talent. You must thoroughly understand the essence of the runes that contain the mysteries of magic, so that you can accurately depict them on the talisman paper, which is equivalent to using a talisman pen on the talisman paper. Cast a spell.

For example, the lightness talisman contains the lightness technique, which is sealed in the talisman paper with runes, and the power of the lightness technique will explode after being activated. The advantage is that it can be cast instantly during battle, which is much faster than casting spells distractedly. , and if

  And if you can’t comprehend the mysteries of these spells and runes, you will never be able to draw talismans according to cats and tigers...

Moreover, the resources needed to make talismans are not even less than alchemy. The most important talisman paper that carries spiritual power, as well as the spiritual ink that contains the true power of talismans, all require a mixture of various rare materials, elixir, and the flesh and blood of monsters. Each kind of talisman needs different materials to make it. It can be said that it is ever-changing, but the requirements are extremely strict. If there is a slight difference, the effect of the refined talisman may be completely different.

   "It's just an occasional inheritance, and I found some fur by myself!" Yue Changmu smiled cautiously: "Now I can only refine two primary life-saving talismans, the light body talisman and the spiritual shield talisman..."

   "You Daoist Yue is really too humble!"

  Jiang Ming said sincerely, and the two exchanged business with each other for a while, Jiang Ming gave back a bottle of Huiqi Pill, and then they left.

   "It's true that people's sorrows and joys are not the same..."

  Jiang Ming returned to the courtyard, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. He has cultivated to the fifth level of Qi training for more than ten years, and even found out how to become a talisman maker by himself.

   "Fortunately, I have lived long enough. This is my greatest capital. Others have practiced it in ten years. I use it for a hundred years and a thousand years, and I can always surpass everyone..."

  Jiang Ming used this state of mind to comfort himself for a long time before he calmed down and continued to pout his buttocks to make a fire and make alchemy.

  This martial arts foundation building is really a bottomless pit, he almost threw all the spirit stones earned from alchemy into it...

  …

   A few days after meeting Yue Changmu for the first time, the other party came to him suddenly.

  Jiang Ming welcomed him into the hospital, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Yue Changmu said calmly:

   "Master Jiang, to tell you the truth... I chose Xiaoqingfeng's cave, and I came here for you."

  Jiang Ming smiled, but he was not surprised, and motioned for him to continue.

In the past few decades, he has become more and more proficient at the advanced Misty Rain Technique that he has shown to the outside world, and there is a tendency to transform towards the Dacheng level. His reputation in the farming industry has also become more and more famous. Many spirit farmers have moved to Xiaoqing Peak. Trying to get the moon first, invite Master Jiang to give them rain...

   But Jiang Ming is also a little curious, is a talisman maker also farming? Could it be that he planted some elixir in the cave and asked himself to give it rain...

  However, what Yue Changmu said next was completely out of Jiang Ming's guess.

"I want to cooperate with Master Jiang to make talismans!" Yue Changmu said slowly: "In the talisman inheritance I have mastered, there is a piece called the Rain-Shining Talisman, which contains the misty rain technique. It's quite popular, but the Misty Rain technique I have mastered can only be regarded as an entry level, and it's still far from a small success. The profit of such a rain talisman is too low, and there is no market..."

"Therefore, I would like to invite Master Jiang to work with me to make a rain talisman that contains the profound mist and rain technique. You only need to cast the profound mist and rain technique when I make the talisman, and compress it within one foot...I will use the corresponding rune, seal it into the rune paper."

"There are many immortal cultivators who do not live in Xiaoqian Mountain. They have their own caves and elixir gardens outside the mountain, and even have their own families. Some of the elixir they plant need to be irrigated by the profound mist and rain technique, but inviting a profound mist and rain technique Many monks go to the mountains to apply rain, but the price is extremely high... If our rain talisman is successful, the sales will be very good, and I can give Master Jiang half of the profit for each talisman."

  Jiang Ming showed a look of astonishment: "How can the talisman be like this?"

   "The essence of the talisman is to seal various spells in it, and cast it instantly when needed. It's just that when making the talisman, the caster is changed from the talisman maker to someone else. Why not?"

Yue Changmu smiled and said: "At the beginning, the success rate must be very low, but after a little practice, there will be no problem... I heard that those big sects make talismans, they all use this method of division of labor and cooperation, but on Xiaoqian Mountain, everyone scattered Xiu regards his talisman inheritance as a treasure and does not want outsiders to spy on it, so this kind of cooperation is rare."

  Jiang Ming was amused, and asked: "Then you are not afraid that I will steal the talisman?"

"I just picked up this inheritance, why should I be afraid? And the talisman making is extremely complicated, how can I learn it just by looking at it?" Yue Changmu smiled calmly: "What's more, Master Jiang is already a master of alchemy. Master, why would you still be distracted to learn the way of my talismans? Our lifespan during the Qi training period is less than two hundred years, so how can we have time to waste carelessly..."

   "Who told you 'we'? You don't have time to kill, but it doesn't mean I don't..."

Jiang Ming secretly thought that he understood why Yue Changmu came to him. He was the lowest among several advanced Misty Rain monks in Lingzhitang, and he was distracted from practicing alchemy. In my eyes, his threat is probably the lowest.

   But Jiang Ming didn't feel disgusted. Who doesn't have a lot of eyes in the world of cultivating immortals?

   "But a rain charm can't sell many spirit stones, right?" Jiang Ming frowned immediately. He gave Lao Guzi rain once, and he only earned some broken spirit stones, not even half a spirit stone.

"Things are rare and expensive!" Yue Changmu shook his head and explained: "Think about it, what is the price of the light-weight technique? The spiritual energy consumed once cast can be recovered quickly, but a light-weight talisman that can be cast instantly , but enough to sell for the price of a piece of spirit stone..."

"The same is true for the misty rain technique. There are no talismans made by the profound mist and rain technique in Xiaoqian Mountain. If we can make it, for those foundation-building overhauls, the profound-level misty rain technique that can be carried around is comparable to inviting The price of a rain master from Lingzhi Church is much lower, they have no shortage of spirit stones, and they don’t even blink when they buy them..."

"According to my speculation, the price of this kind of talisman can at least be sold for two spirit stones a piece. Since the property of Misty Rain Art is mild, the requirements for talisman paper and spirit ink are relatively low, and the cost of materials is only one spirit stone. Making two talismans means three times the profit, even if the failure rate is included, the profit should be more than double!"

  Jiang Ming stared, the profit of this talisman making is too high... Sure enough, technology is popular everywhere!

If ten talismans can be made in a day, the profit will be more than ten spirit stones, and Jiang Ming can get at least five spirit stones... One hundred and fifty spirit stones in a month, which is already half of his main business of alchemy .

What's more, Jiang Ming knows a little about talisman making. Even a junior talisman maker can produce more than 30 pieces a day. Let's get excited, even if you count the failure rate, this income is a bit scary...

  To be honest, Jiang Ming was a little bit moved. After all, he is now hitting the bottleneck of martial arts, and he is short of spirit stones. This kind of work is not risky, but it is worth a try.

   "However, I don't have much time every day. I can only allocate about two hours... If it is possible, I will promise you and give it a try!" But Jiang Ming pondered for a moment before he said.

  This profit is indeed touching, but it is impossible for him to spend all his time on it...

   "Two hours, at most ten talismans can be made!" Yue Changmu estimated.

  Jiang Ming said with a half-smile but not a smile: "What kind of cultivation are you and I? I have made a lot of this kind of thing. I'm afraid this spirit stone will be a life-saving flower..."

  Yue Changmu's body froze, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He was dazzled by the benefits before, and now he came back to his senses.

   "Thank you, Master Jiang, for reminding me!" He cupped his hands very seriously.

  Jiang Ming waved his hand, and reminded: "Let me say yes first, you and I will cooperate, but don't mention my name to the public. Even if someone really finds out, I will work for you, and the earned Lingshi is only 10%..."

Although this profit should be nothing in the eyes of those big monks, Jiang Ming still habitually keeps a low profile, counting as many people as he can fool. If there are people who can't help fooling and want to make trouble...then fertilize the Lingtian .

...

  …

  The next day, according to the agreement, Jiang Ming went to Yue Changmu's cave and began to cooperate in making talismans.

  But soon, a turbulent spiritual rain swept across Yue Changmu's house, drenching the two of them...

  The two of them looked at each other in dismay, and said at the same time: "Let's try it in the yard!"

   Tried again and again, Jiang Ming reckoned that he used the misty rain technique dozens of times, and the two finally managed to succeed once.

  Yue Changmu looked at the water-blue talisman in his hand, also showing joy.

   "Although more than half of the power of the spiritual rain has been wasted, it is already considered an initial success, and it only needs to be adjusted..."

  After three full days, the two finally produced the first complete rain talisman, which contained a complete advanced misty rain technique.

  Then came the production of the rain-shining talismans, and the sales were just as Yue Changmu expected, and there was no need to worry about selling them.

  Jiang Ming finally found another way to make money. He can drink monster beast broth one or two more times a month...

   Talisman making, alchemy, cultivation... Time is also passing by quickly in the busyness of every day.

  …

A year later, Jiang Ming's blood energy became more and more condensed, the red crystal was like glass, and it contained incomparable strength. If he didn't suppress it with the forbidden spirit seal, his whole body would be filled with a faint fragrance, just like a human figure Like elixir, it contains incomparably pure medicinal power...

  Three years later, the blood energy was completely refined to the extreme, as if returning to the original, it began to penetrate into the flesh and veins, reshaping the physical body, and the physical body and the blood energy seemed to form a reincarnation, nourishing each other...

  In the blink of an eye, it was eight years since Jiang Ming returned to Xiaoqian Mountain.

  On this day, Jiang Ming stood in the courtyard, his gaze as calm as water:

   "It should be today..."
