Talisman Emperor
Chapter 16 – Little Princess
The young girl in simple clothes did not notice the surrounding gazes at all as she stretched out her hand to pick up the Earthshield Amulet and study it for a moment, then a trace of confusion appeared in her starry eyes. Clearly, he was unable to recognize the structure of the talisman marks on top of the talisman.
Very strange! The marks on this talisman were smooth and natural, the marks were symmetrical and lustrous, the brush technique was even precise and nimble, and had reached a very high standard. How can this be a cheating job? ”
A strong curiosity appeared in the young girl's heart in simple clothes, and she said in a clear voice. "Boss, do you mind if I try the power of this talisman?"
Zhang Dayong was startled, then sighed. “Nona, you don't need to try. I have managed this small shop for 30 years, and have handled many talismans. How could I not be able to identify the authenticity of an Earthshield Amulet? Even you've seen it. The structure of the talisman marks in this Earthshield Amulet was completely wrong, there was no point in trying it out. ”
"Composed! Exactly! Uncle Zhang must be right. The talisman that Chen Xi made today was truly a scam. There's no point in trying it. ”
The surrounding talismans composing the disciples agreed in unison. Their identity was low, and they had never come into close contact with a beautiful young girl, so they naturally firmly grasped all the opportunities to please her.
"How can you know its authenticity without trying?" The young girl in simple clothes smiled lightly, like a lotus bud that bloomed after the rain, beautiful and delicate. As he spoke, he had already arrived at the empty space and with a swing of his white hand, a pure and thick thread of True Essence flowed into the talisman paper.
A shocking sight appeared, the talisman suddenly turned into a soft, ground-yellow light that flared nonstop, then condensed into a huge shield that was like the shape of a turtle. Bright lights coiled around him as it emitted a thick and solid aura.
Whooshing sound!
The indifference to everyone's gazes instantly turned into disbelief, and their appearance was as if they were seeing a ghost.
Zhang Dayong couldn't help but be shocked, it really is an Earthshield Amulet? Could I have been wrong before?
As expected!
As if the guess in his heart was getting an affirmation, the eyes of the young girl in simple clothes suddenly shone, and without hesitation, his left hand was covered completely by the thick True Essence before violently patting his hand onto the turtle-shaped shield.
Bang out!
A loud sound rang out and a fluctuating ripple explosion appeared on the surface of the turtle-shaped shield, and it quickly recovered to its previous state.
If it were an ordinary Earthshield Amulet, it would absolutely be unable to withstand 10% of my strength, this strange Earthshield Amulet is formidable, as expected!
The eyes of the young girl wearing that simple dress became brighter when she saw this, then once again urged his True Essence before flipping his soft hand to carry his wind-piercing ears when it hit the surface of the shield.
Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!
The turtle-shaped shield fluctuated violently, and the spirit energy contained within it became extremely faint, it was already on the verge of collapse.
Can it actually withstand 20% of my strength? Such a basic talisman was enough to be equivalent to the strength of a second-rate talisman!
The young girl in simple clothes was dumbfounded, then a wisp of excitement flowed out from her eyes. He casually destroyed the turtle-shaped shield that could not withstand another blow before arriving in front of the counter and said, "Boss, I want all these Earthshield Amulets!"
Zhang Dayong had long been shocked to the point that he was stunned from the series of unexpected events before, and he suddenly woke up from his shock when he heard it, but he hesitated and remained silent.
Through the test of the young girl in simple clothes earlier, he already felt that Chen Xi Talisman Earthshield this time had strength far exceeding that of an ordinary one, even to the extent that it was capable of being compared to second-rate. talismans. The price ... Shouldn't it be a little raised?
The young girl in simple clothes frowned and said in a displeased tone. "Boss, don't lie about the price. At most I will give you one spirit stone for the Earthshield Amulet. ”
Zhang Dayong made no attempt to hide it when his mind was seen, and smiled brilliantly. “Nona, I can sell this Earthshield Amulet to you, but I can't sell it all for you. Even you know that the talisman mark structure of the Earthshield Amulet has undergone endless years of perfection, and the talisman mark structure has long arrived at the most perfect country. Wanting to change it again was simply an impossible matter. Yet the appearance of this Earthshield Talisman before our eyes was no different from a miracle. Under these circumstances, I naturally had to keep some and use them to fully improve the reputation of my store!
"Think about that . A new structure of talisman marks appeared into the world, what sort of sensational problem was the entire talisman profession? And being able to manage this new type of Earthshield Talisman at the first time possible was the great wealth of my Zhang general store! ”
The more he spoke, the more excited Zhang Dayong became, and his eyes emitted boundless hope, as if he had already seen a glorious future.
The young girl in simple clothes frowned her nose, and she had no choice but to compromise. In the end, he bought 15 Earthshield Amulets for 15 spirit stones.
"Uncle Zhang, what you said is impossible .. right, right?" A talisman craft apprentice walked over with a face full of astonishment.
"Yes, Chen Xi's Earthshield Amulet is made not as hard as you say. Wasn't it just a basic talisman, how could it be called a miracle? "
Other talisman craft apprentices also spoke. The talisman that was originally equivalent to deception suddenly became a magical problem that could move the entire talisman profession. For a moment, they felt unable to wrap up the matter.
Most importantly, this Earthshield Amulet was made by Jinx, Chen Xi. This way, doesn't it mean that this person will rise in status as well?
Zhang Dayong swept over everyone with his gaze then coldly said, "I know that you all think Chen Xi is a curse, you know, and it's useful for him to be worse than all of you and get ridiculed by all of you, right?"
"But I want to tell all of you that if you want to continue working here, then don't let me hear you mention just a few unpleasant comments about Chen Xi. Otherwise, pack your bags and go! ”Zhang Dayong's voice suddenly became very cold and loud.
Everyone is silent like a cricket in cold weather.
Yet Zhang Dayong still felt extremely angry and embarrassed, he was not irritated towards these disciples, but instead hated himself for almost misunderstanding Chen Xi.
Zhang Dayong made a decision, then he called out to the young girl in simple clothes from before, and he felt as if he saw her somewhere.
Clap it!
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Dayong suddenly slapped his forehead, then muttered. "No wonder he looked so familiar. The Jade-severing Palm that he used before was a profound skill that General Qin of the Common Plantation became famous for, he had to be a small ruler of the –th Estate General Qin Hongmian! "
…
“If you want to become a qualified spirit chef, then you have to master eight large parts – ingredients, knife skills, stove, fire spirits, utensils, seasonings, water, and cooking methods. Among them, materials, blade skills, and flames were the most important and the others did not require much of a lesson.
"This Illustrative Material Guide to Food records tens of thousands of medicinal plants, fruits and vegetables, grains, wild beasts, wild beasts, etc. It can be said to encompass everything and lack nothing. All you need to do is familiarize yourself with the different levels of different ingredients. Then understand the attributes, flavors, colors, and substances that can strengthen or counteract them. Only then can you cook a delicacy that is abundant in spirit energy with various effects.
“This collection of Spirit Flames instead records various spirit flames of various attributes from first grade to fifth grade. According to different ingredients, the spirit fire required during cooking is different. Just like this, you will be able to let your dishes achieve the most incredible effect. ”
…
After Chen Xi returned home, she was summoned by Bai Wanqing and she carefully explained the skills the spirit chef had to master. Thus it could be seen how much he cared about Chen Xi's affairs.
Chen Xi would naturally not reject Bai Wanqing's goodwill, and she listened respectfully with a careful attentive expression.
"As for the knife skill, you have already passed the Ma Parents exam, you just have to follow and practice. '' Bai Wanqing smiled happily as she finished speaking, then asked. "Do you have any other questions?"
Chen Xi pondered for a moment then asked. “Yesterday at Clear Stream Restaurant, I heard that old man Ma and the other two were all 3 leaf spirit chefs. Could the spirit chef profession be divided into several different levels? ”
Bai Wanqing replied. "Of course . After all was said and done, a spirit chef provided services to the cultivators, and the dishes were cooked according to the realm of cultivators. The dishes cooked by a 1-leaf spirit chef are very beneficial for Pascanatal Realm cultivators. The 2-leaf spirit chef instead could cook the dishes required by the Innate Realm cultivator. It rose consecutively until an 8-leaf spirit chef who was able to cook a dish that was already capable of providing boundless benefits to the Earthly Immortal, and was comparable to a heaven-ranked spirit pill! ”
Heaven level spirit pills?
The trace of surprise could not be suppressed from appearing in Chen Xi's heart, according to his knowledge, spirit pills were divided into heaven rank, earth rank, profound rank, and yellow rank. Each rank is further divided into low class, middle class, high class, and upper class. Heaven rank spirit pills were the rarest, and in the entire Darchu Dynasty, it could be called an existence that was like phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
When he heard that an 8-leaf spirit chef was able to cook a dish comparable to a heaven-level spirit pill, how could it not cause Chen Xi to be shocked?
"But, progress for spirit chefs is much more difficult compared to an alchemist, Don't mention the 8 leaf spirit chefs, in the entire Darchu Dynasty, there are only a handful of 7 leaf spirit chefs. ”
Bai Wanqing looked at Chen Xi as she said with a smile. “Don't get discouraged, as long as you survive, then you will have hope. But after all, spirit chefs are a servant profession, so only after you obtain enough spirit stones, do not waste too much time to avoid delaying your cultivation. ”
Chen Xi nodded, she had studied talisman crafts and culinary arts all for the sake of letting her younger brother and herself continue to live. His final goal was still to cultivate more and become stronger.
…
In the next few days, Chen Xi continued to cultivate bitterly.
He made talismans and reviewed the Main Guide, Illustrations for Foodstuffs and the Spirit Fire Set during the day; using the Seventh Goldstar Gold Qvent to temper his physique at night, then cultivate the Violet Sky Arts to sleep before dawn. Only then would he use the little time left to enter his sea of consciousness and visualize the Statue of God Fuxi.
The days passed quickly, to the point that it could be described as intense.
His nerves felt stiff the entire time, as he did not dare to slack off for a moment. Ever since the day his grandfather Chen Tianli was killed, his head had always been filled with a great sense of danger, urging him not to dare to waste any time.
What caused Chen Xi to be happy was that she once again made seven or eight kinds of basic talismans with different attributes. Although the structure of the talisman mark was completely different from before, its strength was comparable to a second grade talisman. And when he took them to Zhang's general store, they were all sold for three spirit stones. The price reached nine times over, causing it to produce a great deal.
But his progress in body refinement and qi refinement was still very slow as before, and the underlying cause of this was the lack of a large amount of spirit energy.
Dao cultivation emphasizes on four – words wealth, friends, techniques, and location. Wealth at first, but in this case, wealth is not gold or silver, but rather spirit stones, spirit pills, immortal potions, etc. If one wanted to practice, then one needed to eat fullness; and if one wanted to cultivate, then one needed to absorb spirit energy. Spirit pills, spirit stones, and similar treasures were important forms of assistance.
Friend is in second place, it can be Dao best friend, 1 but mostly it is the relationship between master and disciple. With the guidance of his master, one could reduce the number of detours taken during cultivation, and it was much more efficient than fumbling around on its own.
The so-called techniques were Heavenly Abilities, Techniques, and cultivation methods. Not only can the cultivation methods of the first level shorten the cultivation time, but for the most part they can also prevent one from sinking into obstacles and suffering from qi deviations.
Instead the locations pointed towards the so-called Blessed Immortal Grounds, and the places where the sects were established were located in places where spirit energy gathered. The cultivation there was naturally much better than those mountains that possessed rare spirit energy.
Those who were truly born in famous sects and large clans might have started cultivating since they were young. They ate rare and precious spirit pills, cultivating first-rate methods, occupying the blessed places where spirit veins gathered, and cultivating the first-rate methods, and even having a senior from their sect or clan to guide them earnestly and tirelessly. Their cultivation speed was simply not something ordinary cultivators could compare to.
Chen Xi had no spirit pills, nor did he have a place endowed for him to cultivate, nor was a senior available to guide him. Among the four words wealth, friend, technique, and location, he only occupied the word technique. Every day, he still had to make talismans to obtain spirit stones to maintain his livelihood, so how could his cultivation develop so rapidly?
“I must make old man Ma consider me as his disciple today. Once I become an apprentice spirit chef at Clear Stream Restaurant, I will definitely be able to obtain more spirit stones. If I were to calculate carefully and meticulously, I would be fully able to buy myself the spirit pills needed to cultivate! ”
Chen Xi quietly recalled the Main Guide, Illustration for the Foodstuff and the Spirit Flame Bunch in his mind, and he just stood up and walked out of the house when he made sure that he had no trace of negligence.
“Let's go, great future spirit chef. "Outside the door, Bai Wanqing had a bright smile. He's been waiting a long time.
