Chapter 40: Chapter 39: Summon your Daoist Priest.
Translator: 549690339
The sky was completely bright.
At the foot of Qingping Mountain.
Many young men and women were walking up the mountain, their main purpose being to see the popular Daoist priest Xuanqing from the internet and to burn some incense to worship the gods along the way.
An hour later.
A young man with good physical fitness had already arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a ‘signpost’ at the entrance with some precautions written on it and an arrow symbol pointing the way.
The door of the Taoist temple was open.
The youngster, without thinking, pushed the door open and walked forward following the signpost.
In the end.
He arrived at a main hall.
“Layman, hello, scan the code to get incense on the side, two yuan for one stick. Remember to offer incense to the main god of the temple first, and burn three sticks of incense to kowtow?? ”
A crisp and sweet voice sounded, spoken by Yang Ying.
“Oh, okay.”
The young man nodded, scanned the code and fetched the incense. Then he looked around the main hall and asked curiously, “Where is Daoist priest Xuanqing?”
Upon hearing the young man’s words.
Yang Ying smiled faintly and then explained, “Daoist priest will hold a scripture chanting conference at eleven o’clock in the morning and four o’clock in the afternoon today. The venue is in the courtyard of the Taoist temple.” “That’s still several hours away?” The young man muttered.
But since he had come, he thought to wait a few hours to see if the Daoist priest was really as charismatic as in the videos and if he really had martial arts skills!
In the dark.
A pair of bright eyes clearly observed the situation in the main hall.
Xuanqing had not left the main hall.
But he had drawn a Breath Concealing Talisman and hid.
In his view, the faint trace of incense generated by the young man after offering it drifted towards the space above the god tablets, just as before.
However, the incense pearl placed on the god tablet was like a suction machine, absorbing any incense that came near it.
It’s worth mentioning that.
The Gathering Qi Bead was linked to the god tablet’s breath, and it wouldn’t absorb any incense that didn’t belong to the god tablet.
For example, the incense lying quietly above the Three Pure Ones statue would not be absorbed by the Gathering Qi Bead and would slowly dissipate over time.
“Not bad, with this Gathering Qi Bead, I can finally be liberated!”
Xuanqing nodded secretly.
Then.
Before a large wave of incense guests rushing towards him arrived at the Taoist temple, his figure slowly disappeared inside the main hall.
Bedroom.
In front of a pine wood table.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged.
With a thought.
From his game backpack, he took out a thread-bound green skin book, a talisman brush, a stack of yellow paper, a bag of cinnabar, a piece of black ink, two incense candles… and other objects.
“I’ve already succeeded in practicing ‘Treading the Clouds,’ now I need to learn this ‘Five Elements Formation.'”
Xuanqing opened the book and began to read.
Chapter One: Preface
There are five elements in heaven: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, which are nurtured and transformed to create all things.
Wise men observed this and recorded it in a book, therefore….
Wood generates fire; fire hides within, drilling and bursting out, hence wood generates fire.
Fire generates earth; fire is hot and can burn wood; wood, after burning, turns to ashes, which is earth, so fire generates earth.
Water generates wood; because of water being moisturizing, wood can grow, so water generates wood.
The contents of the first preface are not obscure or difficult to understand.
Even.
He had already been exposed to these contents when he attended the Daoist Academy.
“It seems that even though there are divine techniques and methods in the game, the basic structure of the universe, heaven, and earth is the same.” Xuanqing thought to himself in his heart.
However.
There are still many places that cannot be explained, such as the existence of gravity in both worlds, but the results are completely different.
Continuing to flip through.
It introduces the practice direction of “Five Elements Formation”.
This is a secret technique book that is not profound, but it is very suitable for laying the foundation.
Compared with the “Treading the Clouds” introduced before, the content of the Five Elements Formation is more complicated.
It is roughly divided into two parts: [Talisman Making] and [Array Deployment]. And then in these two parts, many details are further refined.
[Talisman Making]:
It is divided into categories such as offense, defense, healing, and illusion.
Some simpler ones are single-attribute talismans, such as Explosion Talisman, Water Spear Talisman, Golden Spear Talisman, Wooden Stake Talisman, etc.
The more complex ones are ‘composite talismans’, which are made using the principles of mutual generativity and mutual restriction among the Five Elements, applying multiple attributes to achieve better effects.
[Array Deployment]:
This can be regarded as an upgraded version of talisman making, mainly using multiple talismans in a specific order to arrange various mysterious formations.
Of course.
In terms of array deployment, it is also similar to talismans. The simple entry-level ones are single arrays, while the more difficult and complex ones are compound arrays and nested arrays.
Close the book.
“Huh-”
Xuanqing took a deep breath.
Indeed.
Cultivation has never been a simple matter. Even with a cheat like him, facing these complicated contents can be overwhelming.
“You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time!”
“Let’s start from the simplest, single-attribute talisman making their practice.”
Xuanqing’s eyes were firm.
With legs and shoulders in line, holding the talisman brush in hand, and thinking about the drawing method of the Rejuvenation Talisman.
This step is not difficult, even ordinary people can achieve it after a period of practice.
But having previously made talismans, he knew that the real key lies in how to steadily infuse mana into them during drawing.
Take a deep breath and adjust your body’s energy to the best condition.
The next moment!
Xuanqing used his heart and mind at the same time, sketching the
Rejuvenation Talisman while mobilizing the mana within his body and steadily entering it onto the yellow paper of the talisman.
His brush movements were very slow.
If people who don’t know about the process saw it, they might think it’s some kind of “slow-motion” performance art.
But only those drawing talismans know how difficult it is.
Fortunately, in the state of “Hang-up Cultivation”, the game character keeps practicing constantly, providing an inexhaustible supply of mana within the body.
Half an hour later.
As the final brush stroke fell.
Swish-
The Rejuvenation Talisman flickered with golden light and disappeared in an instant.
The Rejuvenation Talisman… has been completed!
Xuanqing picked up the Rejuvenation Talisman, looked at it carefully and found that the mana contained in it was very weak, capable of healing only minor injuries.
It’s not that the technique is ineffective, but that the lack of proper materials limits the strength of the talisman.
“According to the records of the Five Elements Formation, this Rejuvenation Talisman should be far more than this.”
“To bring out the power of the Rejuvenation Talisman, I’m afraid I’ll need a Jade Talisman as material, which can withstand a cultivator’s mana!”
Xuanqing pinched the ordinary yellow paper in his hand, pondering in his heart.
However.
Although this ordinary yellow paper cannot show its power, it is more than enough for practice.
“Continue to practice talisman making!”
Xuanqing calmed himself.
Just as he was about to continue practicing with the yellow paper.
Suddenly.
A noisy commotion came from the direction of the main hall.
“Let your Daoist Priest come out!”
