Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 280 - 153: Treasures That Strengthen Divine Sense
Hearing Chu Ning say this, Cen Zijin did not ask further, and simply said:
"Perhaps those cultivators do not necessarily see it accurately either.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators of Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands are all familiar with each other, and there aren’t significant conflicts of interest, so generally, there’s not much fighting."
Saying this, Cen Zijin then said to Chu Ning:
"The quality of Fellow Daoist Chu’s talismans is truly good. Since our Cen Workshop officially began selling your talismans, business has indeed improved considerably.
It’s just that people have gradually expressed interest in purchasing intermediate talismans. I wonder if you can make these intermediate talismans?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning pondered for a moment.
He could certainly make Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans, having already decrypted talismans like the Profound Water Spirit Talisman, amongst others.
Since he has already deciphered the Talisman Source, Chu Ning has mastered the talisman making technique.
As for the Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans recorded in the Profound Talisman Treasure Scroll, Chu Ning has already been attempting and can make them.
This is clearly related to his breakthrough to Qi Refining Perfection and also his powerful Divine Sense.
But he found that whether it is the Profound Water Spirit Talisman or the Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans in the Profound Talisman Treasure Scroll, the success rate is indeed still not high.
As for Intermediate Middle Grade Talismans, he hasn’t succeeded yet.
Actually, it’s not impossible for someone at the ninth layer of Qi Refining to make Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans. Thinking of this, Chu Ning had a thought and said:
"Not to hide from you, Fellow Daoist. I can indeed attempt to make Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans, but currently, I am unable to produce them."
Upon hearing that Chu Ning could potentially attempt to craft Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans, Fairy Cen’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Why can’t it be made?"
"There’s a lack of high-level tools," Chu Ning sighed and shook his head.
"My current cultivation at the ninth layer of Qi Refining makes trying to craft those intermediate talismans rather challenging.
I have talisman paper, but with an Upper Grade Talisman Brush and better talisman ink, I think the success rate of crafting intermediate talismans might not be high, but still somewhat possible."
Upon hearing this, Cen Zijin immediately asked:
"Are you serious? If there were an Upper Grade Talisman Brush and high-quality talisman ink, you could create Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans?"
Chu Ning nodded, "I am sixty percent confident."
While saying this, his gaze turned to Fairy Cen, hoping she would agree directly.
He realized only after leaving Cyan Creek Sect that he hadn’t taken enough advantage, like not acquiring a higher-grade brush.
So, the low success rate in crafting Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans is greatly related to this.
If he could seize this opportunity to request a high-quality talisman brush from her, that would be good.
Cen Zijin pondered for a while and then said:
"In fact, within the range of Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, the talisman making technique isn’t considered excellent.
Currently, capable of completing intermediate talisman crafting, as far as I know, only the talisman makers from two alliance leader clans can do it.
Thus, high-quality talisman brushes might be difficult to find."
Saying this, Cen Zijin’s brilliant eyes fell upon Chu Ning.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, do you know the making technique for an Upper Grade Spiritual Brush? If you do, I can help you gather the necessary materials."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning was slightly stunned; he had not expected Cen Zijin to be so attentive.
Thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Although I know the making technique for an Upper Grade Spirit Talisman, I am completely unfamiliar with artifact refining; even with materials, I can’t make a talisman brush."
Saying this, Chu Ning suddenly thought of something and spoke:
"Unless we can find something, Cloud Pattern Bamboo growing on Meteorite Iron Stone."
"Cloud Pattern Bamboo growing on Meteorite Iron Stone?"
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Cen Zijin showed some confusion.
At this moment, Chu Ning explained:
"I once read in a document that Cloud Pattern Bamboo is a superior material for making talisman brush shafts.
And if it grows on Meteorite Iron Stone, its root fibers turn into countless thin threads, just like the strands of a talisman brush.
If we can excavate a piece of Cloud Pattern Bamboo growing on Meteorite Iron Stone, it can directly be used as a talisman brush without need for refining."
Upon hearing this, Cen Zijin, surprised, asked:
"Is there such a statement? I have never heard of it."
Chu Ning wasn’t surprised by these words, as this technique was recorded in Cyan Creek Sect’s Profound Talisman Treasure Scroll.
Since the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands aren’t prosperous in talisman making techniques.
It’s quite normal for Cen Zijin not to know of this technique.
Cen Zijin pondered for a moment and then said:
"About a thousand miles west of here, there is a place called Pinghu Island.
There are numerous Meteorite Iron Stones on this island. I visited once before, and while there are bamboos, I’m not certain if Cloud Pattern Bamboo is among them."
Saying this, Cen Zijin looked at Chu Ning:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I have some matters to attend to in the coming days.
Ten days later, I will come to find you, and we can go together."
"Pinghu Island?" Upon hearing Cen Zijin’s words, Chu Ning frowned slightly.
"I remember that island is not inhabited by cultivators, but is a Demon Beast Island."
Cen Zijin nodded slightly, and looked at Chu Ning.
"What, Fellow Daoist Chu, do you think I, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, can’t ensure your safety?"
"How could that be?"
Chu Ning chuckled.
"I’ve long heard of Fellow Daoist Cen’s profound cultivation and divine Daoist techniques, and with you accompanying me, I naturally feel assured."
"Since that’s the case, then it’s settled." Cen Zijin stood up and headed out of the cave mansion.
"In ten days, I will come here to find you, Fellow Daoist." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Chu Ning escorted her outside, and looking back at Yanfeng, Cen Zijin suddenly said:
"It’s a pity you don’t know alchemy technique; otherwise, this place would be ideal."
"Alchemy?" Chu Ning was clever; hearing this, he started to understand slightly.
