C1347 Strange Insects
"I got them by chance."
The elder smiled and said, "These two bugs are extremely unique. They can spit out poisonous mist and kill many beasts."
"Of course, they also have a weakness. They can only spit out poisonous mist and can't fight in close combat or else they lose their value."
"So that's how it is."
Zhou Yan suddenly realized that these were poisonous insects. Once they got close, they would definitely be poisoned to death and no one would be able to stop them.
"I plan to bring these two insects back to the stronghold to breed." The elder said, "Are you willing to return to the stronghold with me?"
"Is that okay?" Zhou Yan was ecstatic.
"Of course not." The old man nodded with a smile.
Zhou Yan was overjoyed. He had long since gotten tired of living in the city. Now that the opportunity had arrived, how could he miss it?
Thus, with the help of the old man, Zhou Yan successfully escaped and returned to the city in a carriage.
In a certain inn in the city.
"Zhou Yan, you're back."
Seeing Zhou Yan return, Fatty Wang immediately welcomed him with a smile.
"Yes." Zhou Yan nodded slightly and went straight to his room to rest. After washing up, he laid on the bed and fell asleep.
Although he had won the intense battle last night, he was still exhausted and needed to replenish his energy.
In a daze, Zhou Yan had a dream.
The dream was blurry and could not be seen clearly. He could only vaguely see a few majestic palaces floating in the air.
"Eh? That's..."
Zhou Yan was surprised and bewildered. He tried his best to open his eyes wide, and finally saw it clearly. In the center of the palace complex, there was a huge pillar that reached into the clouds.
At the top of the giant pillar, there was a huge egg. Its surface circulated with a bright light and emitted a majestic aura.
This aura was extremely thick like the vast ocean. It was so profound that it made Zhou Yan feel breathless.
"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The huge egg trembled slightly and released a dazzling silver light. With a loud rumble, the huge egg cracked open, revealing strands of dazzling silver light.
A while later, the silver light faded away and revealed its true appearance.
It was an egg that was crystal clear and green like jade.
"Qiu ~ ~ ~"
In an instant, a young bird flew out and flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind that blew through the windows and broke through the roof.
All of this was like a slow-motion movie.
Zhou Yan was surprised to find that just as the young bird left the nest, a blurry illusory figure appeared. It was the elder.
At this moment, the elder was sitting cross-legged with both of his hands forming seals. His finger techniques were mysterious and complicated, seemingly slow but actually fast. Finally, he stopped at a single point.
The elder then extended his palm and merged the seal into the baby bird's body.
Weng ~ ~
In an instant, the young bird flapped its wings and flew higher and higher before finally disappearing from sight.
"Sigh."
The elder sighed and shook his head: "Young man, your luck is bad. Newborn birds are the easiest to tame, so I took one and adopted it."
As he spoke, the elder looked around and murmured to himself: "Over the years, apart from me, no one else knows about this place."
"Unfortunately, I'm already at the end of my tether. I won't be able to last more than a few days..."
"Forget it. When I travel to the west on my crane, the secret of this place will be kept forever..."
While they were talking, the old man's figure gradually faded away and disappeared in the sky...
"- Shoot... -"
At this moment, a black shadow flew out from the window and landed on the table. It was two palm-sized black butterflies.
The butterflies flapped their wings and flew out the window again. They landed on the table again and kept flapping their wings as if they were looking for something.
"Hmm? Why are these two little butterflies so weird?"
Zhou Yan muttered to himself as he focused his attention on the two butterflies. Suddenly, he noticed that there was a thin golden line growing out from the tails of the two butterflies.
The golden thread was extremely eye-catching and looked extremely similar to Zhou Yan's hair.
"* Gasp *"
Zhou Yan gasped in shock, his heart beating faster and his heart beating faster: "Could it be that these two butterflies are the gifts that mysterious expert gave me?"
"Forget it, since these two butterflies do not harm me, why not?"
With that in mind, Zhou Yan took out two talisman papers and stuck them on the back of the black butterfly. He said softly, "You guys stay here for the time being. When I settle down, I'll get someone to find you a good mother."
The black butterfly flapped its wings as if it understood something. Then, it flew out and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"What a beautiful butterfly."
As he spoke, Zhou Yan rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "Perhaps I can ask someone to help me create a batch of 'Jade-Patterned Spirit Butterflies' so that I can sell them for money."
With that thought in mind, Zhou Yan immediately made the payment. He found a shop and asked the owner to order the materials for him.
Not long after, the goods arrived one after another. Zhou Yan picked the materials suitable for making jade talismans and prepared to start work.
"Eh? Zhou Yan, why did you buy so many materials?" The shop owner asked curiously.
"Hehe, I have nothing better to do, so I wanted to give it a try," Zhou Yan replied with a smile.
In fact, the shopkeeper did not know that Zhou Yan wanted to make talisman paper, purify the ink, and increase his spiritual nature.
In the Immortal World, talisman papers were divided into five stages: elementary, intermediate, advanced, talisman, and talisman sage.
The brush and brush used to draw the runes were divided into ordinary rune ink, which contained spiritual energy, low-level rune ink, ordinary spiritual energy, intermediate rune ink, Advanced rune ink, runes, and mysterious power.
To make a talisman paper, one had to first turn ordinary talisman ink into ordinary talisman paper, and then burn the intermediate talisman ink into ashes with spiritual fire. Only then could one use it to draw a talisman.
This was the second step and it was called 'Drawing Ink'.0
"So that's how it is. Then I wish you success."
The owner praised and then left.
After a while, Zhou Yan took out a talisman brush, an inkstone, and various other materials.
"The brush and inkstone are both of ordinary quality, so I should be able to succeed."
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, adjusted his state of mind, and focused his mind. He waved the tip of the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and waved it with all his might.
"Swish, swish..."
The brush moved like a dragon and snake, and the tip of the brush was like a blade, accomplishing everything in one stroke.
"Swish..."
As the brush drew, a dazzling light flashed, and complicated patterns appeared on the talisman paper.
Zhou Yan reacted quickly. He hurriedly copied a copy and stuffed it into his pocket. With a bright smile on his face, he muttered to himself, "The ink has already been formed. All that's left is the talisman paper."
"I hope this turtle shell talisman paper won't disappoint me..."
Along the way, Zhou Yan flipped through ancient books and knew a thing or two about talisman paper.
Talisman paper was the ancestor of talismans.
It was said that in ancient times, talisman masters were prevalent. They could use talisman paper to draw talismans, attack magic weapons, pills, magic weapons, spiritual pets...
Talisman papers were made of special materials, so they were tough and durable. They were expensive. Not only were they rare, but they were also difficult to make and expensive.
