In the Great World of Martial Arts, You Use the Tao of Talisman To Rule the Ages? Chapter 5

 Chapter 5 Another use of spells

 Hungry and hungry, hot porridge is eaten in the stomach.

If it were the first two months, Chen Lin would definitely smack his lips and feel that his stomach is satisfied.

 But now, he was still unfinished, and the vague feeling of emptiness in his heart made him couldn't help but cast his eyes on the remaining brown rice.

 Looked at it for a few breaths.

 Chen Lin shook his head and returned to his body rationally.

“No matter how much brown rice you eat, it's useless.”

“The emptiness in the body caused by practicing Taoism and refining mana last night cannot be replenished by eating this kind of food.”

The monk's mana is composed of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and his own essence. When the monk operates his skills, the two are combined and sublimated in a certain proportion to become mana.

 As for the specific fusion ratio, it depends on the level of the skill.

"The Flame Wood Sutra" is not a top-level skill. Every time you refine a new mana, at least eight points of essence must be invested, and the ratio of spiritual energy is only 20%.

Yesterday, he had a sudden enlightenment and entered the Taoism, but the mana he extracted was very little. If he used it to draw talismans, he could only draw eighteen strokes in one go, combining three Qingfeng talismans.

It is not as good as the body in the world of immortality. Although the qualifications there are poor, there are sufficient medicines and food, the body's energy reserves are sufficient, and the mana after entering the Tao can draw thirty talisman patterns.

 Fortunately, mana is based on essence.

As long as the essence that forms the foundation of mana has not been dispersed, it can be gradually replenished by breathing in spiritual energy, taking elixirs, etc.

 Equivalent to leeks, as long as the root "Jingyuan" is still there, it will grow back.

 It does not mean that you have to refine new mana when you run out of it.

“Mana is not a big problem. It is easy for my body to refine mana. As long as I have enough energy, I can catch up with another body by taking a breath..."

 This is how Chen Lin feels now.

At this time, his sense of the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth is much stronger than that of the immortal world.

  The aura of heaven and earth around him was simply trying to penetrate into his body... He even had to be careful not to let his skills accidentally start running along with his magic power.

Otherwise, if he loses another sum of energy and goes out, he may lose his original source and end up vomiting blood and bedridden.

“If you want to refine new mana next, you have to replenish your body!”

 “Either take supplements or eat big meat!”

 Across the door.

Chen Lin turned his head and stared at the sky in the direction of the mountain.

With no money or power, if he wanted to take supplements and eat meat, he could only rely on the snow-capped mountains next to him.

The mountain next to it is called "Xiaojin Mountain" and stretches for dozens of miles. There are countless treasures, elixirs and strange beasts hidden in it. There are hundreds of hunters at the foot of the mountains. Every few years, a tiger hunting warrior becomes famous overnight. .

 It is said that gold mines were discovered during the previous dynasty, which caused a temporary craze...

But even though it is such a treasure mountain, Xiaojinshan is just a remnant of another big mountain extending deeper.

 According to legend, that is the real treasure mountain.

Chen Lin didn't know much about the deeper mountain. He only knew that the hunters who went in generally had martial arts skills, otherwise it would be easy to get in and out.

Uncle Sheng, who went to the county town to spend the winter before, once boasted that his son had gone there with his martial arts senior brother.

 Chen Lin has no intention of exploring these secrets at this moment.

 He was thinking about eating meat.

“Although I have inherited the memories from the past, I was also a novice hunter before. I was not good at all my skills. If I really want to hunt good things in the mountains, I probably have to rely on the spells I have memorized in my mind..."

  The spells recorded in "Introduction to Talismans" are all entry-level. Although they are suitable for mortals, there are no spells specially prepared for Orions.

but.

 If the mountains don't come, come to me, I'll go to the mountains on my own!

“For example, the person-finding talisman is explained in the book as being used to find people within a certain range.”

“The principle is that after the spell is used, the spiritual power on it will disperse in all directions. When ordinary people breathe, they will absorb the spiritual power into the body. In this way, the user can follow the traces of the spiritual power to find the hidden person..."

 “But most animals can breathe too!”

“Does that mean this charm can actually be used to search for animals?”

The vast snow-capped mountains look lifeless.

 But there is actually a huge ecology hidden in the dark.

 Snow hare, squirrel, serow, fox, ape, black wild boar, blind bear, winter snake, snow eagle, golden eagle...

In addition, there are a large number of medicinal materials hidden in the wind and snow, such as polygala root, schisandra chinensis, adenophora root, asarum, yam, forsythia, bupleurum...

 And martial arts flourished in this world.

It is said that there are strange beasts and species in Xiaojin Mountain, such as the red-horned spiritual sheep, the flying tiger with wings, the jade chalcedony, the dragon's blood treasure tree, etc., all of which are of great benefit to the promotion of martial arts. Anyone who gets any of the above can change the fate of ordinary people's lives.

 An immortal master who doesn't want to be a good hunter is not a good time traveler!

“Ordinary hunters can only rely on experience in the mountains, but I have many spells to help me!”

"Even though it's just an "Introduction to Talisman", many of the methods included have never been seen in martial arts in this world!"

There are so many thoughts in my heart.

Chen Lin turned his eyes back to the wooden board he had just used to draw the talisman.

“Cinnabar can be replaced with animal blood. The more spiritual, the better. Old bark or green leaves can be used for talismans..."

“The mana is enough for the time being. The person-finding and energy-finding talisman only has ten talismans. If it succeeds once, you can draw another seven-stroke zombie slowing talisman.”

“When I catch prey, I can replenish my body, then refine more mana, draw more spells, and catch more prey...a virtuous cycle!”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ulu～～

 My stomach growled again.

 Chen Lin's expression did not change.

 “The good days are yet to come!”

“I just ate now, so I'm not very hungry. Let's go find the talisman materials first!”

 He muttered as if hypnotizing himself.

 Pick up a hatchet and a homemade carrying pole.

 The wooden door was pushed open with a "squeak".

  Fuzz-like snowflakes blow in the wind.

 The warm mana in the body circulates on its own, and a trace of coldness stays on the surface of the skin and disappears soon.

Chen Lin turned to the majestic and undulating Xiaojin Mountain. The snow-capped mountains were shining in the sun. If you look closely, you can see that there are dead trees on the mountain, and the branches are covered with snow.

He touched his still unsatisfied belly and walked towards Xiaojin Mountain step by step.

 Near the mountain village, all the trees have been cut down, the area is bare, and there is no prey.

 To walk a mile.

We have reached the mountain pass.

The mountains are vast, the cold wind is howling, and the peaks behind them stand as tall as a forest.

Chen Lin walked through ankle-deep snow and came to the dead forest where he usually cuts firewood. He knocked here and touched there, looking for old bark suitable for use as "talisman paper."

  In "Introduction to Talisman Techniques", the basic requirements for talisman paper are to communicate spiritually and store magic power, and are not limited to specific forms.

If the magic power of the runes on it can be made to last for a long time, and it can even increase the power of the runes, then it is a good rune paper.

Regardless of whether the "talisman" is bark or stone.

Chen Lin doesn't expect to encounter good talisman materials now.

As long as the basic requirements are barely met and the mana can be saved for a period of time, it will be fine.

 Use mana to test and observe.

 Several dwarf trees were soon selected.

 Chen Lin used a hatchet to scrape off the entire bark of the tree. Under the rough surface were blue and white veins, still showing signs of life. It can be seen that these trees will sprout again in the coming spring.

“However, I have peeled off the bark of these trees, so these trees will definitely not survive the spring, so I simply cut them down and dried them for firewood…”

 He sat in the snow, wielded a hatchet and started chopping down trees.

 The mana in his body was circulating, and heat seemed to be floating around his body. In the rumbling snow, Chen Lin did not feel too cold, and the more he moved, the warmer he became.

Of course, my stomach will growl louder.

 Papa pa pa—

 His ears twitched suddenly.

I heard other sounds coming from the empty mountain snow.

With the hatchet still in his hand, he squinted his eyes and looked towards the mountain pass.

 Several luxurious carriages were parked in the snow.

 There were many domestic servants and maids surrounding him, carefully helping the people in the carriage to land.

There were one man and three women who came, all wearing brocade and fur cloaks. Next to them was a burly man with a bow and a sword. He bowed in flattery and led the way.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 bang!

 The hatchet struck the tree, and sawdust flew into the air.

 Chen Linha, who was in the distance, let out a breath of hot air and felt that the burly figure looked familiar.

Searching in my memory, an answer quickly popped out:

 “Uncle Sheng's son!”

“He just sent Uncle Sheng to the county town yesterday, why did he go into the mountains again today?”
