In the Great World of Martial Arts, You Use the Tao of Talisman To Rule the Ages?

Chapter 3 I am a genius

 Except Chen Lin.

Lao Ba, who is only thirteen years old, also has a hazy sense of energy.

 The two have made similar progress.

 The next day, Lao Ba came over and sincerely shared his cultivation experience.

Chen Lin also told everything about his own cultivation insights and confirmed each other.

 In the afternoon, the two returned to their respective houses to practice.

 Wait until dinner time and then come out, their eyes met with two sad faces.

None of them succeeded.

They are like a pair of brothers among the eight people.

 Apart from Chen Lin and Lao Ba, there is another pair of brothers and sisters in distress.

　　means Lao Er and Lao Qi.

These two people seem to have worse qualifications than Chen Lin.

 Until now, I haven’t felt anything. My daily meditation practice is just sitting.

 This morning, Chen Lin came back from meditating outside.

Just in time, I saw the door of Lao Qi's room open, and he took out many things from it. Among them, he saw talisman, paper, cinnabar and other things at a glance, and he walked in one direction.

 “That’s over there…”

 He went to Lao Ba to ask.

 Laoba half-opened the door and whispered, "Don't you know yet?"

“That Li Tao has already persuaded him.”

 “Persuade?”

"Seeing that Lao Qi had never started practicing, Li Tao told him to stop practicing and send him the talisman materials he had purchased before. From then on, Li Tao, as a monk, would ensure that he and his family would be rich and prosperous for the rest of their lives."

"Li Tao also came to see me the day before yesterday, but I didn't agree. I guess you will be here soon..."

 After saying that, Laoba closed the door.

 Chen Lin stood outside.

 “Is it an outside move?”

 In the next few days, Chen Lin was ready to be called to his door.

 But for some unknown reason, Li Tao didn't come to see him.

Gradually, he put this matter aside and devoted himself to cultivation.

 …

 …

 In a blink of an eye.

  Twenty-fifth day.

The morning sun rises in the east, the sparks recede, the vast sky is gradually lit up, the purple air comes from the east, the auspicious light shines, and the morning glow is like a golden waterfall, filling the sky.

Chen Lin was sitting cross-legged in the morning dew on the mountain, practicing, when he suddenly caught a trace of flowing energy, and the invisible veil that had been covering his body faintly moved.

 “Use your body as a furnace, use your heart as a fire, hold your Yuan as one, and let your Qi move around the sky…”

　　咚!

 My heart vibrated like a bell, suddenly enlightened!

 A mysterious force suddenly arises in the body, flowing in the meridians. Although it is as weak as fire, it can continuously introduce new forces from the outside world.

 The body seems to have built a bridge with heaven and earth.

 Like an arowana in the water, every pore can feel the rich aura of heaven and earth around it.

 “First level of Qi refining!”

 Chen Lin opened his eyes with excitement in his eyes.

I have been stuck on the entry-level bottleneck for more than half a month, and now I finally have a breakthrough!

My heart is filled with excitement, and the magic power in my body feels warm. Not only is it not hot in this June season, it makes me feel comfortable all over.

“Next, I have to stabilize my realm, go back and do another round of fortune, and then I also have to practice the talismans!”

“There are only five days left until we return to the martial arts world. Time is running out. We must get familiar with it and consolidate it as soon as possible…”

 Get up and prepare to return to the house.

As a result, after walking a few steps, I heard a voice.

“Junior sister, you are wrong, this talisman should be drawn like this…”

At the corner ahead, under the trees among the flowers, a pair of dogs and men were close to each other, one behind the other, holding hands and rubbing in front of a piece of talisman paper.

 Chen Lin's face turned dark.

Among the two people, one is the eldest Li Tao, and the other is the sixth eldest and an unruly rich girl.

 They were both the first two to get started.

 They naturally hooked up.

Just as I was about to change the direction and go back, I suddenly heard the two people talking.

“Brother, I saw Li Mingzhang practicing outside again yesterday. He was really working hard..."

"Junior sister, don't worry. He is the second among the eight in age. He is similar to me, but his talent is so much worse than me. Even if he practices Taoism in the future, Master will not choose him to be the true successor."

“What you really need to pay attention to is the thirteen-year-old boy. He is six years younger than me and two years younger than you. Once he enters the Tao, he will be the strongest threat..."

 “What about the others?”

 “There is nothing to be afraid of if you and I join forces.”

 Chen Lin was in the secret place, his face getting darker.

I asked why this guy didn't come to "advise" me before!

The co-author feels that my qualifications are too poor and I am too old, so I will not be a threat to him even if I join the Tao!

 At this moment, it’s not even mentioned, so it’s not something to be afraid of...

grass!

But think about it, of this pair of dogs, one is the oldest and has the best qualifications, and the other has the second highest qualifications and is also younger.

  There is really no need to worry about someone like you who is old and lacks qualifications.

 The truth is the sharpest knife.

 Wanting to understand this, Chen Lin felt a little stuck in his heart.

“The qualification problem is difficult to solve in a short time...but I can straddle both worlds, so I should have some advantages.”

 “Let’s look at the future!”

 …

 Hottage.

 Chen Lin completed a week of luck and consolidated the increased mana.

 He took out the talisman equipment he had purchased before and prepared to officially start learning talismans.

 The formations, elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans are collectively referred to as the Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation. Among them, formation requires qualifications and understanding.

Elixir magic weapon requires strong financial resources to purchase elixir cauldrons, magic furnaces, venues and various training materials.

Only Fu Lu is the most close to the people.

At the beginning, the materials that are practiced only requires common objects such as cinnabar yellow yellow, runes and pens. If this is not available, you can also find other psychic things to replace.

For example, you can use animal blood for cinnabar, animal skins and old bark for talisman paper, and you can use your own fingers for talisman pens.

  There is no requirement for space, a table is enough.

 When you reach a higher level later, you can also draw talismans in the air, send talisman to your body, and hide talisman in your god...

Hey!

 Even the materials are not needed!

 These are all mentioned in "Introduction to Talisman Law".

 Chen Lin read the whole article and saw one word between the lines:

 “Poor skills!”

 “But it suits me just right!”

“Especially considering my situation in the martial arts world, I really can’t even come up with a talisman.”

A stack of yellow talisman paper is spread out on the table, containing spiritual light.

 Open a box of cinnabar and mix it with good spiritual ink. Keep a small piece of ice heart stone on hand to help control mana.

Hand in hand is a 50-year-old mahogany talisman pen, and the hair on the pen comes from the Steppe Wolf King three thousand miles away.

The candlestick in front of you lights a piece of sandalwood of the same type used when the Master was giving lectures, which makes people feel at ease.

These are all purchased by the master with spiritual stones.

"start!"

 …

 Half an hour later.

Chen Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the five useless talismans in front of him:

“The Talisman doesn’t seem to be suitable for me either.”

 You can draw the talisman as you like, and you can draw it however you want.

But a young monk like him must strictly control his magic power when drawing talismans, and accurately draw the spiritual patterns required by the talismans to be effective.

His body, however, has poor cultivation aptitude and poor control over his magic power, which makes it difficult to move through the meridians...

 Can't even draw the Qingfeng Talisman with only six strokes.

“It’s normal that I’m not a genius in talismans. I just need to practice more diligently to make up for my shortcomings.”

 “The greatest growth for a person is to realize his own mediocrity.”

 But never settle for mediocrity!

 The next five days.

Chen Lin devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation and talismans.

 Except for eating, bathing and sleeping, I basically spend the rest of my time practicing, and I am not even in the mood to go out and relax.

 In addition to practicing every day, I also draw talisman.

Even so, his cultivation has not made much progress, it can only be said to be stable.

 It is actually possible to draw five out of the six strokes of the Qingfeng Talisman.

But this is the result of practicing and destroying dozens of talismans...

 “You’re really not a genius!”

On the last night of June in the world of immortality, Chen Lin lay on the bed and completely accepted the reality, keeping his eyes open until the sunrise.

Then…

 Crack!

There was an explosion from the flames in front of me.

 Frostbites in various parts of the body send stinging signals.

 “Back again.”

Chen Lin opened his eyes, and what he saw was the same fire he had set up in the house before "January". He was still wearing the same linen and straw jacket, his palms were chapped and the skin was cracked, and the soles of his feet had several cold-cracked and outward wounds. No blood can flow out.

 The time for cultivating the world of immortality has come, and he returned to the world of martial arts.

From a promising Talisman Master apprentice, he turned back into a struggling young hunter, or woodcutter...

 Excluding the time he traveled to the earth, this was already his second time traveling back to the martial arts world.

Chen Lin adapted quickly this time, added dry firewood to the stove and continued to do what he had not finished a month ago.

 Let's make a fire and cook.

For ordinary people, they can usually only make a fire while cooking.

Fortunately for him, there is always no shortage of firewood, so he can keep himself warm in the house.

 Unfortunately, other things are always lacking.

 Grab a handful of snow from outside, boil it in the only clay pot at home, and then add a handful of brown rice.

 Just wait and see.

Chen Lin huddled up to warm himself by the fire, muttering to himself at the same time.

 He was memorizing the Yanmu Sutra.

He expected that he would not be able to bring anything back from the world of immortality, so he memorized the exercises by heart early on.

He memorized more than 5,000 words of exercises while practicing, and it took him nearly ten days to memorize them.

“…like a thread, like a thread, the fire is passed from generation to generation, endless, concentrating the mind and soul, refining the energy and returning to the origin…”

The gentle chanting is accompanied by the slight sound of the fire devouring the dry firewood, which is invisibly connected with the principle of using the power of wood to help the fire in the "Flame Wood Sutra".

Chen Lin was thinking about it and gradually fell into a trance.

 A feeling of comfort spreads throughout the body, a trace of warmth rises out of thin air in the body, and a familiar power begins to sprout within the body...

Snapped!

 The dry wood burned out and made a final slight crackling sound.

 Like a loud bell piercing my ears!

 Chen Lin, who was in a trance, suddenly woke up.

"This is?"

 He subconsciously checked himself, and a fire-like mana was flowing through his meridians!

“The first level of Qi refining?”

 “Is this the time you have entered Taoism?”

 “Nima…this body of mine is actually a genius?!”
