Chapter 12, Xiaopai's helplessness, main business.
In the next few days, Xu Hao seized little time to practice hard, and the villagers of Sanshui Village also renovated Qingniu Temple in these days.
It is the slack season. Everyone has time. When they hear about the food package and the 20-odd work wages, they are rushing to come. Finally, everyone discusses and decides that one person comes to each household, and more than 30 young and strong people come, so the renovation is so fast.
When Xu Hao's spiritual thoughts were completely consumed in the "Tao Te Ching" he woke up from his cultivation state, his goal was a brand new Qingniu Temple. The materials and labor costs cost less than 30 taels. He could only sigh that the world's low prices were.
Then Xu Hao gave Tang Siye 100 taels of silver and asked him to push his house in the village to rebuild and build a three-entry courtyard. He didn't have enough money to look for him! In the future, he only took 50 kilograms of silver, and it was really not possible without a base!
With the "Tao Te Ching" by Yin Shen Zhenren, Xu Hao's career in cultivating immortals has made rapid progress. Not only did he cultivate magic power in the beginning, but Hongyuan also began to guide Xu Hao to practice talismans!
Compared with the martial artists who refine essence and qi, the Taoist priests who practice gods have the worst combat power in the early stages, and it can even be said that they are not much different from ordinary people. So the monks created talismans to improve their combat power.
For famous sects, talismans are useless, because in their opinion, the realm of concentration and foundation building are all realms that lay the foundation. Practicing any talisman and spell will only distract the disciples and influence the disciples to lay the foundation.
At this stage, they would not be exposed to talismans and magic at all. They just tried to improve their magic power. When they reached the realm of controlling objects, their disciples wanted to learn talismans, magic, alchemy, and weapon refining as they wished.
Small sects and casual cultivators do not have enough resources to practice. They can only rely on themselves and work hard to improve their strength, so they can go further on the road to immortal cultivation. Therefore, they will start to learn talismans and improve their combat power as soon as they practice magic power, and start to learn various magic tricks in the foundation-building realm, earning themselves various cultivation resources.
Qingniu Temple is a small sect, similar to a casual cultivator. After Xu Hao practiced his magic power, Hongyuan began to teach Xu Hao to create talismans. Because Qingniu Temple could not support Xu Hao in full study, he could only work and study half-time, using the talismans he created to help him earn resources for his practice.
There are many types of talismans, including defensive Vajra Talisman, Five Thunder Talisman for Attack, auxiliary rejuvenation Talisman, divine movement Talisman, body purifying Talisman for exorcising evil spirits, peace and blessing, and how many talismans are in the world, no one can tell clearly, but they are the ones that ordinary people have the most contact with, and every casual cultivator can have one or two talismans.
The second generation of Qingniu Temple, Xuhe, collected 32 kinds of talismans, and these talismans have different powers, both at the primary level, intermediate level, and advanced level!
Like the body purifying talisman, peace and blessing, and divine movement talisman are all the most basic talismans, and a talisman costs at least 100 silk of magic power.
Like the Rejuvenation Talisman, the Vajra Talisman are all intermediate talismans, and a talisman costs 300 silk of magic power.
The advanced talisman only collects one of the five thunder talismans, but it is indeed the most powerful talisman. It specializes in destroying various evil spirits. Each five thunder talisman costs 1,000 silk magic! It also requires the assistance of other conditions. Even Hongyuan is very difficult to manufacture, so Hongyuan would have the life-saving ace among the five thunder talismans!
At this stage, Xu Hao naturally could not create the Five Thunder Talisman. Instead, he was practicing creating primary talismans such as Ping An Fu. He did not use magic power to create it. Instead, he first learned to draw talismans on yellow paper, and then he could draw talismans as he pleased before he could use magic power to draw talismans.
This is also impossible. In practice these days, Xu Hao has about 1,000 silk magic power in his dantian, which is only enough to draw 10 talismans. If he practices with his magic power, he might not even be able to draw a single talisman.
However, his current cultivation efficiency is not high. With the plug-in of the "Tao Te Ching", he can only cultivate 100 silk magic power every day. After the "Tao Te Ching" disappears, he can only cultivate more than 60 silk magic power every day. In other words, with the recovery of Xu Hao's magic power, he can only draw a talisman for two days on average. For Xu Hao's current magic power, he can't afford to spend a slight amount of magic power!
In order to clearly see his own progress, Xu Hao created a simple data system for himself on a blank paper!
Name: Xu Hao
Occupation: Taoist
Realm: Concentrating Realm
Mana: 10 points (100 silk equals 1 mana)
Practice: Green Ox Visualization Method
Armor: Anti-sting suit
Weapon: electric shock stick
Looking at this string of data, it’s so simple and pale, it’s obvious that it’s a battle with five scumbags!
But Xu Hao was full of confidence. This was just the result of his cultivation for more than ten days. In the future, he would become a top monk in this world!
When Xu Hao used more than half of the yellow paper he bought, he also learned the first talisman, the peace talisman, which has a weak effect of exorcising ghosts. Basically, he wanted to be at ease. The weakest evil spirits were not afraid of such talismans, which could deter the soul of the dead, but even so, the price of the talisman is not low, and the market price per 100 meter per talisman.
From this we can also see that cultivating immortals is a high-paying industry, with income of nearly three taels of silver per month. Only a few hundred people in the entire Anping County town have such income, and this is only the lowest income of monks. Like the Yin Shen Zhenren, writing the "Tao Te Ching"! Even thousands of taels of silver may not be able to buy it.
Xu Hao had just finished his day's homework, but he saw Hongyuan put on a new Taoist robe, pick up his peach wood sword, bring all his equipment, and be fully armed to go out!
Xu Hao immediately asked, "Teacher, are you going to remove the demon?"
But Hongyuan said, "Mr. Wang in the city has passed away. I am going to do a ritual! You and my teacher go there!"
Xu Hao said in surprise: "I want to go too!"
Qingniu on the side said, "Of course, rituals are the master skills of Taoists. How can you not learn? Moreover, the risk of eliminating monsters is too great. If your master had not met you last time, he would have died with a hundred-year-old evil ghost. Qingniu Temple has gone through three generations, and the masters of the previous two generations have died on the way to eliminating monsters. They often stand by the river and don't have any shoes wet.
But the ritual is not at all dangerous and has a good income. You should know that your master’s appearance fee is 10 taels. The entire Anping County is the territory of our Qingniuguan. If it weren’t for this job, our Qingniuguan would have been defeated long ago!"
