Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 59: Spiritual Sense Talisman

"My first time making talismans, and my success rate actually exceeded forty percent."

Looking at the small stack of talisman papers in front of him, Chu Ning felt both surprised and delighted.

Within that one hour, Chu Ning attempted to draw on 40 sheets and successfully completed as many as 18 of them.

He had been learning a lot about talisman-making knowledge during this time.

Under normal circumstances, a Talisman Maker achieving around a 40% success rate is considered qualified.

A 50% success rate in talisman making is already an excellent standard for a Talisman Maker.

"This Talismanic Spirit Body Talent is truly powerful!"

At this moment, Chu Ning couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Moreover, Chu Ning could clearly feel that with continuous attempts, the success rate for talisman making was still increasing.

Because the success rate for talisman making in the later attempts was significantly higher than in the earlier ones.

If it weren’t for the fact that Chu Ning’s divine sense was already exhausted, he would have wanted to continue trying.

"The real consumption during talisman making isn’t magical power; it’s the divine sense."

Chu Ning thought silently to himself at that moment.

He hadn’t noticed this initially.

But after cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique, his perception of his divine sense became extremely sensitive.

After about five talisman-making attempts, Chu Ning felt the changes in his divine sense.

However, when Chu Ning thought about it, he found it normal.

After all, the spiritual power injected into the spiritual brush wasn’t much.

Yet focusing so intently on one task certainly consumes a great deal of divine sense.

And for most disciples at the Qi Refining Stage,

because they do not cultivate any secret techniques for divine sense, they cannot even clearly sense changes in their divine sense.

Thinking of this, a spark of inspiration suddenly struck Chu Ning.

He hadn’t paid attention earlier, but divine sense is something that depletes unconsciously.

If he employed the divine sense control method from the Refining Spirit Technique, focusing his divine sense during talisman making,

would that make the consumption of his divine sense even less?

The more Chu Ning thought about it, the more he felt this approach was worth trying.

However, feeling the fatigue in his mind, Chu Ning had to temporarily set aside this thought.

Chu Ning began cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique once more, starting to restore his divine sense.

This time, the speed of restoring his divine sense was still not fast.

However, to Chu Ning’s surprise, although it took longer, the effect was good.

The proficiency of the Refining Spirit Technique also increased by 1 point.

"So consuming divine sense and then cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique can enhance the divine sense?"

Chu Ning vaguely thought of this possibility, which made him secretly pleased.

Because this meant there was a way to accelerate the cultivation of the Refining Spirit Technique.

As for whether it was true, that would need to be verified later.

At this moment, it was already midday.

Following his usual schedule, he first cooked some spirit rice to eat.

After a brief rest, he returned to the desk in his room to practice the Talisman Making Technique again.

At this moment, Chu Ning was full of energy, and his divine sense had recovered to its optimal state.

He pondered the idea of spiritual sense talisman-making he had in the morning while holding the spiritual brush to begin talisman making.

He released his divine sense, consciously focusing it on the talisman paper and talisman brush.

As the talisman brush fell, an even more mysterious feeling surged in Chu Ning’s heart.

That feeling was as if every stroke on the talisman paper and every drop of talisman ink on the talisman brush was under his control.

Almost without any hindrance, Chu Ning smoothly completed the production of a Wood Escape Talisman.

Chu Ning didn’t stop and immediately began making another talisman.

Five sheets, ten sheets, twenty sheets...

Sixty sheets!

This time, it took Chu Ning a full sixty sheets of talisman paper before he felt the consumption of his divine sense to the point of slight fatigue.

Despite a somewhat tired expression, Chu Ning’s smile was even broader.

"His own method indeed proved effective.

Controlling the dispersion range of divine sense indeed reduced consumption by one-third!"

And when Chu Ning slightly counted the successfully crafted talismans, his mouth opened slightly in surprise.

Thirty-two sheets!

Chu Ning used 60 sheets of talisman paper and managed to produce 32 Wood Escape Talismans, with a success rate exceeding fifty percent!

Moreover, Chu Ning could even clearly feel that the quality of these 32 Wood Escape Talismans was higher than the 18 sheets made in the morning!

This isn’t just making talismans; it’s like printing them!

Chu Ning felt a bit excited at heart; each talisman was worth 2 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

This means that in just one day, the talismans he made could sell for nearly a hundred Spirit Stones.

As for the minor wear and tear of talisman paper and ink, Chu Ning didn’t care much about it at all.

At this moment, Chu Ning even felt a bit surreal.

Is making talismans really this difficult?

Mu Ling’s rate of ruining talisman paper wouldn’t be intentional, right?

...

At the Outer Sect, Mu Ling, who was holding a brush making talismans, was feeling frustrated, looking at the ashes in front of her.

"Achoo!"

After sneezing, Mu Ling murmured in confusion.

"Is someone talking about me?"

But soon, she picked up that obviously superior-quality talisman brush again and lightly bit her lip.

"I refuse to believe it. I’ve been drawing talismans every day during this time, yet my success rate can’t even reach forty percent. Let’s try again!"

...

In the subsequent days,

Chu Ning holed up in his room, repeating the process of cultivation and talisman making.

Of course, he understood the importance of balancing work and rest.

So he didn’t just practice the Refining Spirit Technique; he also kept up with the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique and Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

To prevent his neighbors from noticing anything.

Chu Ning cultivated the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique and the Refining Spirit Technique in the courtyard.

After all, both could be practiced simply through meditation.

While practicing the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Chu Ning headed to the spirit field.

The only thing that puzzled Chu Ning was.

The speed of cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique varied from fast to slow.

Not every time was as fast as when he released his divine sense.

Sometimes it was as slow as before he had learned to release his divine sense.

Other times it was even faster than the recent divine sense training speed.

Chu Ning tried to figure it out but couldn’t come to any conclusions, so he chose not to think about it too much.

After all, these days, with the continuous use and cultivation of his divine sense,

the progress of the Refining Spirit Technique was overall faster than before.

In five days, it increased by a full 8 skill points.

Of course, not only did Chu Ning’s Refining Spirit Technique improve, but also his success rate in talisman making.

"Seventy percent!

If outsiders found out about this success rate, their eyeballs might pop out from shock."

As Chu Ning walked out of the courtyard, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Although in the past few days, his success rate in talisman making didn’t increase as quickly as on the first day,

it still grew little by little every day.

And after five days, for someone like Chu Ning, who had never been involved with Wood Escape Talismans before,

he could now steadily achieve a seventy percent success rate in talisman making.

And because this talisman making success rate was so phenomenal, Chu Ning wasn’t planning to perform at his best in today’s talisman-making assessment.

Of course, Chu Ning didn’t plan to do too poorly either.

Even though he has a Pseudo Spirit Root, the fact that he is so compatible with Wood Element Skills and Techniques, and shows talent in talisman making, isn’t that going overboard?

And for him, managing this success rate was undoubtedly an easy task.
