I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 67: Talisman Making Entry Level?

"Must it be assisted by the power of thunder and lightning for the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree to successfully blossom and produce Thunder Spirit Rice?

Doesn’t that mean I must first learn a Thunder Skill?"

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

The power of Thunder Skill, he naturally yearned for and anticipated greatly.

But the difficulty of learning and mastering Thunder Skill is also well-known.

Now, the three Thunder Spirit Rice Trees are at a critical stage of growth, and the time left for him to learn Thunder Skill is not much.

"So during this period, I can only use Talismans to aid their growth."

Zhou Changwang sighed, but quickly reached a decision.

Thus, in the evening, after having dinner, Zhou Changwang directly entered the Talisman Room.

The Talisman Room was actually very simple, with only a table and a chair.

But the room was sturdy, with excellent soundproofing, indeed very suitable for drawing Spirit Talismans.

"Today, I strive to draw the Thunder Talisman, so as to save the Spirit Stones needed to buy Talismans."

He knew that Thunder Spirit Talismans were often quite expensive.

Ordinary Basic Talismans could be bought in stacks of over ten sheets for one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone.

But even the cheapest Thunder Talisman costs a Lower-Grade Spirit Stone per sheet.

In such a case, he might as well draw them himself.

After all, in the three volumes of the Basic Talisman Chapter he obtained back then, there were over ten Basic Talismans and several Initial-Tier Talismans’ drawing methods, among them, the Basic Spirit Talismans include Cleaning Talisman, Fireball Talisman, Water Spirit Talisman, Body-Protecting Talisman, Light Body Talisman... and for Initial-Tier Talismans, there are only three types: Wind Blade Talisman, Earth Sinking Talisman, and Thunder Talisman.

In other words, the Basic Talisman Chapter actually contains the drawing method for Thunder Talisman.

Thus saving him from purchasing it again.

So, Zhou Changwang took out the three volumes of the Basic Talisman Chapter, found the page recording the Thunder Talisman, and began to carefully read and memorize the drawing method.

"It’s truly worthy of being a Thunder system Talisman, with its complex and numerous rune structures, genuinely mastering it isn’t an easy task."

Zhou Changwang frowned slightly, but did not give up.

With his previous experience in drawing the Fireball Talisman, he had some confidence in this Thunder Talisman.

Talisman: Talisman Making (Entry Level 1/100)

Fireball Talisman (Entry Level 75/100)

He glanced at the information on the Attribute Panel regarding Talismans.

He understood the recorded Fireball Talisman since he had always been drawing Fireball Talismans, and the (Entry Level 75/100) indicates he successfully drew seventy-five Fireball Talismans in total.

However, what confused him somewhat was the ’Talisman Making’ information beforehand.

It appeared when he successfully drew a Fireball Talisman for the first time.

But no matter how he tried, he couldn’t get this skill to improve.

Unable to figure it out, he chose not to waste time pondering it.

With time, as he drew more Spirit Talismans, he would naturally understand better.

Thus, after half an hour, Zhou Changwang took a deep breath, directly picking up the Talisman Paper, laying it flat on the table, and began formally drawing Talismans.

But before drawing, after thinking for a while, he took out a stick of Spirit Incense from his Storage Bag.

Calm Spirit Incense!

It was a kind of magic incense he bought from the Hexagonal Pavilion.

With the effects of calming and concentrating the mind, restoring the Power of Heart and Spirit.

It naturally had certain auxiliary effects for drawing Talismans.

Raising the Talisman Pen, feeling the Spiritual Power within him begin to subtly circulate, only then did he dip it into the Spirit Talisman Blood Ink, and attach Talisman Ink until the pen tip was full.

Zhou Changwang’s heart and mind calmed, and he directly put pen to paper.

Failure, failure, failure...

Zhou Changwang continuously tried, and continuously failed.

But he didn’t grow agitated because of this.

He already knew that any Magic Talisman, at the beginning, was the most difficult.

Half an hour, an hour, two hours...

Zhou Changwang tried again and again, failing time after time.

Even the Talisman Paper, he didn’t know how many sheets were wasted.

Under the effect of Calm Spirit Incense, his spirit was highly focused, only stopping when his internal Spiritual Power was nearly depleted, then circulating the Cultivation Technique to recover.

Finally, when his internal Spiritual Power was nearly depleted once more.

Buzz~!

Zhou Changwang stopped his Talisman Pen, only to see a strand of Spiritual Light flashing on the Talisman Paper, and then he felt a vague sense of danger emanating from the Talisman Paper.

The Talisman was completed!

The Thunder Talisman was drawn by him.

Quickly looking at the Attribute Panel.

Talisman: Talisman Making (Entry Level 2/100),

Fireball Talisman (Entry Level 75/100), Thunder Talisman (Entry Level 1/100)

Zhou Changwang sighed in relief, then felt an endless exhaustion wash over him.

After continuously drawing Talismans for such a long time, even his resilient mind felt somewhat overwhelmed.

It took a good while before he regained some composure.

"Wait? The ’Talisman Making’ skill’s experience points increased?"

Suddenly, Zhou Changwang paused, looking at the Attribute Panel, unexpectedly seeing the Talisman Making skill, which he couldn’t improve before, had its experience points increased from ’1’ to ’2’.

"Could it be because I successfully drew a new Talisman?"

Zhou Changwang murmured, unable to resist looking at the Thunder Talisman on the table, feeling a slight guess emerging in his heart.

Then he picked up the Thunder Talisman, and after careful comparison, could distinctly feel it was much inferior to the one he previously acquired and used, not only in the immaturity of the strokes but also at least half as powerful.

However, Zhou Changwang wasn’t disappointed by this.

After all, this was the first Thunder Talisman he drew; to succeed, there were inevitably lucky instances, mostly due to chance rather than skill, and as for its power, it wasn’t his current pursuit.

His only slight regret perhaps was the consumption of Talisman Paper.

In mere hours, nearly two hundred sheets of Talisman Paper became waste paper or were turned to ashes from rune structure backlash, dissipating completely.

Afterward, once his internal Spiritual Power recovered somewhat, he started refining the Thunder Talisman again.

After all, there are three Thunder Spirit Rice Trees.

One Thunder Talisman is far from enough.

Thus, about halfway through another incense stick, the second Spirit Talisman was drawn by him.

Then the third, the fourth...

An hour later, ten Thunder Talismans appeared on the table.

"With the Attribute Panel’s influence, I barely have any chance of failure when drawing this Thunder Talisman..."

Zhou Changwang’s spirits were somewhat high.

Compared to his prior continuous failures, naturally, he felt rather pleased.

Yet, the only thing that puzzled him was that the ’Talisman Making’ skill did not improve despite his continued successful drawings.

...

The next morning.

Zhou Changwang got up.

After freshening up, he took out a book from his Storage Bag.

The book wasn’t thick, and on the cover were clearly written four large characters.

"Celestial Essence Eight Techniques"!

It was exactly the Body Cultivation Technique left by his father. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He decided to allocate half an hour every morning, like his father, to practice this Body Cultivation Technique.

Aiming mainly to strengthen the body!
