Chapter 207: Making Symbols_l

“If you are the top of the true disciples and Grand Uncle Zeng has succeeded in making so Foundation Building Pills, then you should get one.”
Although Lu Jun didn’t understand why Chen Mobai was so confident, thinking about his age, he felt that the youth should have such a sharp spirit.
“Please give these two jars of spirit wine to Inspector Sun, Brother Lu.”
Sun Gaochang had to carry out his duties at the Reward Virtue Hall today, reporting on the spirit stone resource expenditure of the Spirit Plant Departnt this year, so Chen Mobai did not et him.
After receiving his 100 spirit stone benefits from the Spirit Plant Departnt this year, he returned to Small Yang Ridge.
Chen Mobai completed the harvesting of the spirit rice on his personal spirit field, then had the three disciples he hired from the Divine Wood Sect dry it in the sun separately.
The sect’s farmlands had been harvested by Lu Jun and Teng Jie a few days ago, granting Chen Mobai’s account an extra 3100 contribution points. The reason it was more than last year was because 20 more Dew Grass plants had grown in the dicinal field.
This Dew Grass, as a top-rank-1 spirit grass, can be sold for 5 spirit stones per plant in the market.
Chen Mobai didn’t have any experience when he grew them for the first ti, so the yield was diocre.
This year he specially visited the Book Pavilion to learn about the cultivation knowledge inherited from the Divine Wood Sect on Dew Grass. In addition to taking an elective course on “Spirit Grass Planting” from the cultivation sect, the harvest of Dew Grass increased by nearly 20% this year.
The contribution of Dew Grass to the sect is normal, but even without the tenfold effect of spirit rice, the yield of 80 plants from two acres still added 400 contribution points to Chen Mobai’s account. In terms of spirit stones alone, the yield per acre is far higher than that of spirit rice.
If it wasn’t for Chen Mobai’s plan to make spirit wine for spirit stones in the future, given the excellent harvest of spiritual dicine and spirit grass, he might also change the spirit field to a dicinal field, and, like other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, would focus on growing precious herbs, waiting for a sudden fortune after ten or twenty years of harvest.
“Brother Chen, all the rice has been dried.”
A young man with an ordinary face ca into the wooden house of Small Yang Ridge and respectfully reported to Chen Mobai who was about to draw symbols.
You’ve worked hard, Brother Liang, here is your compensation for this year.”
Two other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were outside the door. The three of them were the ones Chen Mobai had hired from Spirit Treasure Pavilion through the Spirit Plant Departnt.
“Thank you, Brother Chen.”
After receiving 15 spirit stones as a reward, the leading Brother Liang hesitated for a mont but summoned the courage to voice his plan.
“Brother Chen, I don’t plan to co back next year.”
“Oh? Why is that? If it’s not enough spirit stones, Brother Liang, we can increase it.”
Chen Mobai put down the green bamboo pen in his hand in surprise when he heard Liang Xinhuo’s words.
Compared to the two other False Spirit Root disciples, who had reached the Qi Cultivation Rank-2 level and had no prospect for improvent, this Liang Xinhuo, although a four-Spirit Root, was still young and ambitious.
Over the past two years, thanks to his dedicated service, Chen Mobai was able to spare so ti to study at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, research talismans, and improve his cultivation technique realm.
If it had been the other two leaving, Chen Mobai would have shown them out without a second thought.
But with Liang Xinhuo, he felt it necessary to try to retain him.
Upon hearing this, Liang Xinhuo expressed his own thoughts frankly.
“Brother Chen, you have superior spiritual-root talent and are one of the Sect’s favored sons. In a few years, there’s even hope of you becoming a true disciple. You are very kind and I am happy to work under you.”
“However, I feel that since I was given the opportunity to join the Divine Wood Sect, even though my spiritual roots are not that good, I would like to seize this chance for immortal cultivation.”
“With the fields I’m farming under your command and the subsidies from the sect, I can get around 50 spirit stones a year. However, after I advanced to the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, these spirit stones were no longer sufficient to support my daily cultivation efforts. To walk further on the path of immortal cultivation, I have decided to participate in the sect’s expedition to Yun ng Ze and take a chance for myself.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai knew that he couldn’t possibly keep Liang Xinhuo.
Even if he was able to offer a high amount of spirit stones, how could he possibly outbid people like E Yun?
Moreover, the opening up of Yun ng Ze is a major strategic move by the sect for the next ten years. With the endorsent of the Gold Core elder, the spiritual stone resources of the Reward Virtue Hall are essentially supplied to this group first and foremost.
Almost all ambitious mbers of the Divine Wood Sect, under the leadership of the newly established Foundation Establishnt cultivators Hong He, Zhou Wangshen, and E Yun, are flocking to Yun ng Ze.
If Chen Mobai hadn’t made a fortune from selling storage bags, he might have been tempted as well.
“If that’s the case, I wish Junior Brother Liang a smooth journey. You can take this talisman.”
As he spoke, Chen Mobai took a Crimson Fla Sword Talisman that he had just drawn on a piece of silver-edged bamboo leaf as the talisman paper from the table.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Chen. If I can return from this expedition, I will repay your kindness.”
Liang Xinhuo knew how much this high-grade Rank-1 talisman could fetch in the sect’s Spirit Treasure Pavilion. He might not be able to afford two of them even with a whole year’s worth of farming, so despite the fact that it was drawn by Chen Mobai himself, he was extrely excited.
After seeing off his capable farming assistant, Chen Mobai was a bit irritated about having to recruit new people next year.
However, this was a matter for later. His main focus now was the upcoming big competition in the sect.
He picked up a bright red block of talisman ink, a unique “Vermilion Talisman Ink” from Giant Tree Ridge, and began to carefully grind it. Thanks to three years of learning “Ink Color Extraction” at the Dance Tool Dao Academy and the various ink-making tools in the immortal sect, Chen Mobai was able to blend this “Vermilion Talisman Ink” to perfection.
The whole block was Rank-2, bright vermilion in color, with only a thin layer of impurities settled at the bottom and froth on the top affecting the quality.
However, if he were to sell this talisman ink in Divine Wood City, everyone would consider it as Rank-2. The reason being, only the cultivator with the deepest understanding of ink-making can make such high-quality talisman ink, and that too only when the state of the material is perfect.
After grinding, Chen Mobai lifted his green bamboo pen with his right hand and dipped it in the talisman ink.
Finally, he began to draw on the silver-edged bamboo leaf laid on the table. Just like a bundle of crimson flas cutting across, it illuminated the entire bamboo leaf and completed a full talisman in one stroke.
Crimson Fla Sword Talisman!
Chen Mobai, with his skills equivalent to a Rank-2 talisman maker of the Tianhe Realm, found no problem in producing the Crimson Fla Single Sword and Dual Sword Talisman. Only the Triple Sword Talisman, which was equivalent to Rank-2 in difficulty, maintained a success rate of only 50%.
Since he had only eight sheets of Gold-Edged Bamboo Leaves, he would only attempt to draw it when he was in his best state.
As he was about to participate in the sect’s great competition for the second ti, Chen Mobai decided to complete the drawing of all the bamboo leaf talisman papers he had accumulated for so additional insurance in his hand.
The Crimson Fla Sword Talisman, as one of the hallmarks of the Divine Wood Sect, could also serve to reveal so of his talisman-making skills. After he becos a true disciple in the future, he can then sell it just like the Jade Bud Spirit Wine to earn spirit stones.
Ti passed quickly, and he drew all the twenty-six Silver-Edged Bamboo Leaves he had collected in the past two years into Crimson Fla Sword Talismans.
He used half of the eight Gold Edge Bamboo leaves.
He had made two of them into Crimson Fla Triple Sword Talisman.
Two of them failed, but he managed to keep the power of the Crimson Fla Dual Sword Talisman using his immortal sect skills..
