I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 296 - 152: Talisman Painting Requires Rootless Water! (Part 3)

After Xiaoyu finished her set of performance moves, she smiled and said, "Xiaojun, Da Long, nice coordination!"

Chen Jun and Chen Dalong immediately chimed in with flattery.

"Sister Xiaoyu, it’s because you taught us well."

"Yes, it’s because Sister Xiaoyu is amazing."

Chen Jing watched the two and felt like calling them sycophants.

They seemed to have been the Patriarch’s and Sister Xiaoyu’s followers since childhood.

But what’s the use?

Didn’t he just get favored by the Patriarch upon returning?

At that moment, Chen Dalong spotted Chen Jing and smilingly asked, "Chen Jing, I heard you were offered a 15,000 salary as soon as you returned?"

Chen Jing said proudly, "Of course, because I am talented, you know? The Patriarch invited me back, so studying is important."

Chen Dalong understood the hint and laughed, saying, "Oh really? But Sister Xiaoyu also said, we can become performance Dance Masters and practice martial arts to become the family’s Guardians, with a 20,000 salary a month!"

Chen Jun added, "We’re special students... martial arts deviants, got it?"

"..." Chen Jing suddenly felt like his 15,000 salary was nothing.

In the end, he could only comfort himself that once he learned the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" and taught it to others, he would be a crucial Scripture Reciter, not comparable to a mere Martial Artist.

But at this moment, he saw Chen Dalong courting his girlfriend, "Xiaojie, why don’t you introduce your sister to me? I just added you on WeChat, and from the moment I saw your group photo, I wanted to meet your sister."

Chen Jing was stunned, this guy had already added his girlfriend on WeChat, and now wanted to be his brother-in-law?

He just hoped his girlfriend wouldn’t agree.

Sun Jie, however, smiled and said, "I’ll invite her over to the Chen Family’s place to hang out; Brother Da Long, you should put on a good show then."

To her, although Brother Da Long was quite dark, he was strong, and didn’t he say he could earn 20,000 a month in the future, as a Chen Clan member.

She was well aware of her boyfriend’s family situation. Each family, as long as three generations worked normally within the clan, could easily earn tens of thousands a year.

It was definitely a family with potential.

Hearing this, Chen Dalong enthusiastically said, "I’ll certainly do my best then. By the way, earlier my dad and the Patriarch went bee hunting and shared some Royal Jelly; I’m inviting everyone to my place to have some. Chen Jun, bring your girlfriend along too. Sister Xiaoyu, are you coming?"

"I can’t make it, I have other things to do," Xiaoyu shook her head.

Seeing the Royal Jelly, Chen Jun quickly messaged his girlfriend.

"Royal Jelly?" Sun Jie was surprised. She knew it was a good thing. The Chen Family shared 30 cups of Royal Jelly water daily as a lottery for tourists, and its miraculous effect was already well known.

Before long, Chen Dalong led the group to his home, and after making the Royal Jelly drink, he saw the two couples being lovey-dovey.

He suddenly felt like a third wheel!

...

After Chen Jing left the courtyard, Chen Han began studying the Blessing and Peace Talisman he had just acquired.

Talismans are an indispensable part of the Taoist Sect as well.

However, in modern times, if you look at the Daoist Temples and Temples, the talismans they hand out have no real effect.

After using the jade scroll before, he had already learned how to paint the Blessing and Peace Talisman and gained some understanding of talismans.

Talismans are a secret magical treasure for communicating between humans and spirits, not something to be casually drawn.

There’s a saying that goes, "Draw talismans without knowing the trick, and you’ll only make spirits laugh. If you know the trick, even spirits will be startled."

Furthermore, creating talismans requires a specific sequence; only by following the order can a talisman be made, otherwise, it’s just a wasted talisman.

Talisman painting requires a special talisman pen.

The material used is also important; you can’t just use any paper to scribble.

For painting talismans, generally, yellow paper is used, but silk cloth, boards, or stone can also be used.

Of course, the most important material is cinnabar for painting the talisman...

This information is actually recorded in the Taoist Sect’s talisman painting documents.

However, the information from the jade scroll also included two things not recorded in the Daoist talisman documents.

One is to use rootless water to grind cinnabar!

The second is that after completing the Blessing and Peace Talisman painting, you need to use a special Divine Communication Altar to activate the effect after it’s blessed.

Otherwise, it’s just like those real-life talismans, merely a piece of waste paper.

As for rootless water, it refers to water without source.

In the novel Swordsmen of Shushan, there are many sources of this rootless water, as it’s a Xianxia World.

But in reality, many sources are unattainable.

There is one source that most people can obtain.

That’s rainwater caught directly from the sky, and it must be used immediately to be effective.

If you want to store rootless water for a long time, you need a special jade bottle engraved with talismans.

He naturally didn’t have the method of making such a jade bottle.

Moreover, except for the rootless water, all other materials for the Blessing and Peace Talisman are easy to find.

You can’t just wait for rain, as during this season, it might not rain for 1 or 2 months.

Therefore, he must look for other ways.

But where else can rootless water be obtained?
