Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Chapter 430 New Goal: Want to Learn to Make Talismans

After hearing Du Zhuang's estimate, Rong Shu sighed: "It only cost 500,000 points..."

The corners of Du Zhuang's mouth twitched.

What is this nonsense? !

What words!

That sounds quite disappointing!

Rong Shu, who was about to "stop", glanced at the left hall opposite, turned around and strolled in.

The weapons, formations and talismans available for exchange in the left hall, Rong Shu has no shortage of the first two.

It’s just the last “talisman”…

Rong Shu had never studied systematically. He only received a copy of "A Complete Collection of Talismans Commonly Used by Talisman Masters" and a stack of talismans from his master, which he used from time to time in combination with formations.

"Anyway, I'll be staying at the Jixia Academy for decades without being able to leave. So, while I'm trying to comprehend the Nine-Character Mantra, learning a way to make talismans wouldn't be a bad idea, right?"

After making up his mind, Rong Shu asked Du Zhuang, "Du Zhuang, do you have any secrets to recommend for making talismans?"

"Of course! Wait a minute!"

This time, without Rong Shu saying much, Du Zhuang discarded those ordinary talismans and took out half a secret book from a corner.

The cover of the secret book was a little yellowed, and the words on it were a little blurry, but one could vaguely make out the four words "...Compendium of Talismans".

Rong Shu's eyelids twitched slightly, and a sense of familiarity came over him.

She took out her original set of talismans, compared the two, and found a difference.

"This one in the Wanbao Hall is the second volume of the 'Compendium of Talismans Commonly Used by Talisman Masters'."

"When Master gave me this collection of talismans, he also said that this was only the first volume and there would be a second volume. Master didn't tell me at that time. I didn't expect to find the second volume here in the Hall of Ten Thousand Treasures." Rong Shu felt that it was fate, which was truly wonderful.

Now, she has no choice but to learn how to make talismans.

"...The source is Hongchen Sanren."

Rong Shu turned to the last page of the second volume, where a name was left. She looked at Du Zhuang again: "Do you know this Hongchen Sanren?" He didn't seem like the master himself. If it was the master himself, he would have given her the second volume long ago.

"I don't know him." Du Zhuang shook his head. "I think it might be a pseudonym of a senior."

"Senior Sister, does this collection of talismans suit your taste?"

"The talismans written on it are all uncommon. Their effects... well, they're a bit peculiar. They have some of the same magical effects as the elixirs in that box."

How 'strange' can it be?

Rong Shu flipped through a few pages casually——

The Fart Escape Talisman can allow you to instantly travel thousands of miles away, leaving behind a series of fart sounds, and the fart smell left behind will last for three days.

The nonsense talisman will make you talk non-stop for six hours after use, rambling and talking nonsense.

Nightmare Talisman. Using this talisman after falling asleep will arouse the most terrifying things in your heart, and you will start to "talk in your sleep" non-stop.

After using the jumping talisman, you will jump uncontrollably, your hands and feet will not obey your commands, and you will automatically make various dancing poses, which will last for one hour.

After using the Shame Talisman, you will shout out three of the most shameful and humiliating things in your life.

"..."

If it weren't for the identical handwriting, similar title, and the perfect match between the two volumes, Rong Shu wouldn't have believed that this was the second volume of the Complete Collection of Talismans.

Now she could understand why that "Red Dust Wanderer" came up with such a pseudonym.

Just like those authors who write erotic novels, they can write and have fun as much as they want, but they have to keep their pseudonyms tightly covered and dare not let anyone find out.

Because... I have to save my face.

Although the second volume of this collection of talismans... is completely different from the first volume.

But the contents of the talisman encyclopedia are so detailed that it explains how to collect the materials needed to make talismans, how to make talismans, the possible failures in making talismans, and provides corresponding solutions... It is very detailed.

Compared to secretly poisoning or administering drugs, there is also time required to set up the formation in advance.

The talisman only needs to be infused with spiritual energy and the runes activated, and then it can be thrown immediately in the direction of the enemy.

Isn’t this the immortal version of a “grenade”?

Of course, "grenade" also has its disadvantages.

Talismans are disposable consumables.

Throw it away and it's gone.

Unlike formations, it can't be used repeatedly and is more cost-effective.

"Talismans and formations... one can be cast instantly, the other can be used repeatedly... if the two are combined to make a formation that can be cast instantly..." Rong Shu had a flash of inspiration, and an idea gradually took shape.

It seems to be quite promising.

You must learn how to make talismans!

Deng Rongshu is proficient in drawing and making talismans, and may even be able to apply them to formations.

Even if it cannot be completely instant, it is good to reduce the casting time of the formation.

"How many points do I need to redeem this? I want it."

"One hundred thousand points."

"Okay, I'll make another list, and you can help me collect all the materials needed to make the talisman according to the list."

"..."

After exchanging the materials, Rong Shu went to the main hall again, wondering if he could exchange them for some magical skills to practice.

But I was told no.

There are only some insights into the magical powers.

These insights are placed on the shelf, without even a seal, for anyone to read.

Every magical skill is extremely precious and can become a sect's inherited treasure. How can it be displayed casually?

Moreover, even if one wants to pass on the magical skills, in addition to face-to-face teaching, if one wants to record them into jade slips, it will take several years, decades or even hundreds of years. During this period, one cannot be distracted at all. Once there is a mistake, all the efforts will be wasted.

Therefore, there is a saying: "The art of supernatural power can only be understood but not explained."

The Tianjiao Tower has gone through an era and was able to pass on such a powerful divine inheritance as the [Nine-Character Mantra] to Rong Shu. One can't imagine... What kind of person was able to build such a rare and wonderful thing as the Tianjiao Tower?

Adhering to the good principle of "since I'm already here", Rong Shu quickly read through the dozens of insights into magical powers and memorized them in his mind.

I will record it after I get out, and read and appreciate it slowly.

In the end, Rong Shu was busy for most of the day and finished purchasing goods in the Hall of Ten Thousand Treasures, exchanging them for cultivation resources worth 600,000 points.

There are still 800,000 points left to use.

But Rong Shu really couldn't think of what else to exchange, so she asked Du Zhuang to give her a list of the cultivation resources currently available for exchange in the Wanbao Hall.

She took it back to Zhanming Mountain to ask her senior brothers before making a choice.

"Next, should we go to Qionghua Pool first? Or should we go back to Zhanming Mountain..."

Rong Shu is inclined to return to Zhanming Mountain.

After all, it is not easy to enter the Qionghua Pool once. She has to make sufficient preparations before entering the Qionghua Pool to practice.

On the way back, Rong Shu saw several vendors selling her autographs.

"Damn it..." Rong Shu gritted his teeth.

Watching others take away the spirit stones she should have earned was more painful than killing her...

Fortunately, Rong Shu’s pain didn’t last long.

As the number of vendors increased, several signatures of the leader in different handwritings were circulated.

Finally, someone realized that these people were scammers.

"This guy is a liar! Selling fake autographs!"

"Swindler, smash his stall!"

"Give me back my spirit stones! Give me back my spirit stones now!"

"..."

The hawker's newly set up stall was smashed to pieces, and the hawker himself was beaten so badly that he cried for his parents.

Seeing this scene, Rong Shu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally.

"Ah~ Today's weather is so nice~"

Rong Shu hummed a little tune and returned to Zhanming Mountain, where she met Xiao Zian who came looking for her.

"Junior Sister, Feng Qingming has left Liefeng City."

As soon as he opened his mouth and said the first sentence, the smile on Rong Shu's face disappeared.
