Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Talisman born of origin?"

Zhang Jing looked puzzled at this skill characteristic, then information emerged in his heart.

After a long while.

"I see!" A trace of understanding flashed across his face.

The so-called 'talisman born of origin' means that every time Zhang Jing successfully draws a talisman, he can capture a fragment of the origin talisman of that kind in the dark. When the fragment condenses into a complete origin talisman, it will freely switch between virtual and real according to his heart's intent.

The origin talisman is closely connected with his spiritual sense and spiritual power.

With the origin talisman.

To make a talisman again, Zhang Jing only needs to summon the corresponding origin talisman and directly brand the Dao pattern on the spiritual paper.

Theoretically, as long as his spiritual power is sufficient, he can continuously produce corresponding talismans without any possibility of failure.

Upon seeing this.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but look strange.

Why does this thing seem more familiar the more he thinks about it... Movable type printing?

Then a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

With the origin talisman, wouldn't the speed of his talisman making go up? In this way, isn't it possible to complete the task of accumulating nine thousand Dao merits within two or three years?

No need for the origin talisman of high-grade talisman, just need to condense the origin talisman of middle-grade talisman!

Thoughts returned to reality.

A wave of fatigue surged.

"Fight again tomorrow!" Zhang Jing stood up and walked directly toward the cultivation room.

...

Two days later.

In the talisman making room.

Zhang Jing, sitting motionlessly at the table, suddenly laughed.

Three completed Star Attraction Talismans were placed in front of him, with a stack of wasted talismans beside them.

After two days of relentless testing at all costs.

At this moment, Zhang Jing has a relatively accurate judgment on the success rate of making talismans with the first-level Nine Extended Spirit Star Talisman Script skills.

Without activating the Dharma Seeds of the Heart Eye.

The success rate of his Star Attraction Talisman making is about 10%, of course, this rate will change with his state, but overall it remains at a level of 10%.

Ten lots of materials can make one Star Attraction Talisman.

Zhang Jing did some calculations.

Disregarding the depreciation of the Spirit Pen for now.

For ten pieces of spiritual paper, the value is one Dao merit, and the cost of the consumed spirit ink is roughly half a Dao merit, meaning the cost of his Star Attraction Talisman is one and a half Dao merits.

But if it were according to the price of the Thousand Law Pavilion, a Star Attraction Talisman could be sold for two Dao Merits.

However, Zhang Jing considered that if his own Star Attraction Talisman was the same price as the Thousand Law Pavilion, people might not buy it, so for now, let's subtract it to one point nine Dao merits.

In summary.

He, Zhang, when not delaying his cultivation, can earn point four Dao merits by diligently making talismans for a day.

That's twelve Dao merits a month.

The income is not small, considering that the Dao Institute only rewards five Dao merits each month for those who rank from twenty-first to thirtieth in this examination.

According to what Zhang Jing knows.

For those ordinary disciples in the Outer Academy who have not joined the mission team, the resources consumed for two months of cultivation are roughly around ten Dao merits.

Of course, twelve Dao merits are not much to speak of either.

However— that is when not activating the Dharma Seeds of the Heart Eye.

When he is in the heart-eye state, his success rate of making talisman will shoot up to around 30%.

This means that if he spends all his time making Star Attraction Talismans, he can earn four point two Dao merits a day and could rake in a profit of one hundred and twenty Dao merits a month.

Given the actual situation.

Zhang Jing may not necessarily be able to sell all the talismans he makes. But a profit of one hundred Dao merits a month, he estimates there shouldn't be any problem.

The cost of the Spirit Pen could be recouped in two months, the rest would be pure profit.

Also, as he continues to condense the origin talisman, the Spirit Star Talisman Script skill upgrade, and his increasing ability to make middle and even high-grade talismans after his cultivation upgrade, his rate of earning Dao merits will only get faster and faster.

Phew—

Zhang Jing took a long breath.

He indeed made the right choice with this transmission of the Spirit Star Talisman Script!

Coming back to senses.

He calmed down some of his slightly excited thoughts, then started another attempt.

Zhang Jing could be seen gracefully dancing his Spirit Pen across the spiritual paper, dabbing it in Spirit Ink, easily creating elegant strokes.

Unlike his previous talisman making, this time when he was drawing the Dao Pattern on the talisman, his brush left behind a faint trace of the Taoism Rhyme of Abyss Serpent Swallowing the Void.

The existence of this Taoism Rhyme,

made the Star Attraction Talisman in front of Zhang Jing behave quite abnormally, the nature's spiritual energy in the cave dwelling started to spontaneously merge into the talisman.

In just an instant, it gave Zhang Jing a feeling that it was about to explode.

Seeing this, Zhang Jing's eyes jumped, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered in drawing.

The Five Laws Spirit River was revolving around, and among them, the five Ice Light Curse Spell Fish were raring to go, seeming to leap out at any moment to transform into the protective spirit light sheltering Zhang Jing.

However, the next moment,

with a 'snap', in Zhang Jing's surprised gaze, the half-finished spirit talisman in front of him directly disintegrated into fragments.

"It should be because the low-grade spiritual paper is too fragile to withstand the star attraction talisman with the attached abyss serpent swallowing void Taoism Rhyme …"

Zhang Jing guessed in his heart.

It seems that next time he goes to the Thousand Law Pavilion, he needs to buy some middle-grade spiritual paper.

...

...

In a blink of an eye, a month passed.

During this month, Zhang Jing did not receive the notification from Senior Sister Tong. They are either still in rest or waiting for an appropriate task.

No one came to disturb.

Zhang Jing naturally enjoyed staying in his cave dwelling for cultivation and talisman making.

The day was extremely busy and fulfilling.

On this day.

In the cultivation room.

A strong spiritual power fluctuation suddenly erupted, rolling up the spirit fog and flying to the four sides, a gale blew in the cave dwelling.

"Qi Refinement third level!" A light flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

He did not expect that during the process of exhausting his spiritual power and replenishing it over and over again during talisman making, it would greatly promote the improvement of his cultivation.

Together with the auxiliary of Purple Spirit Pill.

Under the joint action of various factors, Zhang Jing was promoted to the third level of Qi Refinement half a month earlier than predicted.

He subconsciously summoned the Five Laws Spirit River.

In an instant, a surging Spirit River appeared in front of Zhang Jing, winding and twisting, with eight Spell Fish swimming in it.

After a slight sensation.

Zhang Jing now clearly understood the change in his Spirit River this time.

The number of laws fish it can contain has increase to twelve.

An increase of four Spells- this was within his expectations; he had guessed it as early as when he just advanced to the second level of Qi Refinement.

However, the changes from the third level to the fourth level of Qi Refinement in the Five Laws Spirit River, Zhang Jing was unable to predict with certainty, but he was looking forward to it.

After all, that's a leap from the early stage of Qi Refinement to the middle stage.

The capacity of the Five Laws Spirit River for magic spells will inevitably increase greatly. Perhaps by that time, his Myriad Law Torrent will take some form.

With a thought in his mind,

a phantom jade talisman slowly appeared.

[Five Zang Solution Inducing Water Yuan Note· Level 3（139/800）]

Skill Feature: Five-law Spirit River (Mid-level)

[Pure Yuan Na Breath Visualization Method· Level 3（399/600）]

Skill Feature: Gather Spirit Light (Low-level)

He glanced at the jade talisman.

Then Zhang Jing's face showed a satisfied color.

According to this progress, the Pure Yuan Na Breath Visualization Method will probably upgrade to the fourth level in half a month, and an additional skill feature will be added at that time.

With the example of Gather Spirit Light, he eagerly anticipates this upcoming new feature.

The jade talisman gradually disappeared.

He estimated the time.

It should be early morning.

Zhang Jing got up immediately and went to the Talisman Making Room.

At this moment, on the table, there was a thick stack of completed talismans, among which were sixty-seven defensive Star Attraction Talismans and sixteen attack Scorching Sun Charms.

All of them were of superior quality.

These were the results of his month-long effort.

Only less than two hundred blank spiritual papers are left.

Zhang Jing planned to go to the Thousand Law Pavilion today, sell some of these low-grade talismans, and replenish some spiritual paper and spirit ink at the same time.
