Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

For a sixth-tier Qi Refining cultivator, creating a low-grade Thick Earth Amulet does not consume too much mental energy or spirit power.

However, if it’s a middle-grade Thick Earth Amulet, being able to create one a day would be quite impressive.

A middle-grade Thick Earth Amulet can withstand several attacks from a Qi-refining mid stage cultivator, and the spirit power contained within it is naturally quite terrifying.

Given He Song’s level of cultivation at the sixth -tier Qi Refining, his spirit power would be largely drained the moment he finishes an amulet. As such, he would need to recover his spirit power before continuing to create more.

So naturally, it does not require much spirit power.

He continued to draw.

He Song’s gaze was focused, his pen moved like a dragon or a snake, and the patterns of the amulet seal appeared one by one on the amulet paper.

Then, as the last stroke fell.

The amulet paper before him flickered with light briefly.

Immediately, He Song felt some of the spirit power in his body being absorbed by the amulet paper in front of him.

By the time the amulet paper ceased to consume spirit power, the amulet paper in front of He Song had successfully become a low-grade Thick Earth Amulet, worth five spirit stones.

Feeling the decrease of spirit power in his body, a flash of joy appeared on He Song’s face and quickly disappeared.

Fourth time of amulet making.

Success again!

“Two successes, two failures, a chance of fifty percent? No, it can’t be calculated like this, I’ve only drawn four times, I can only truly estimate the success rate when I draw a larger amount.”

Looking at the low-grade Thick Earth Amulet before him, He Song shook his head and cast aside the self-satisfying mood in his heart.

A low-grade Thick Earth Amulet, market price five spirit stones.

But the production materials, amulet ink and amulet paper, combined cost two spirit stones.

If the wear and tear of the amulet pen is taken into account, the cost will be slightly higher.

However, an amulet pen can be used for a long time and doesn’t often break.

Therefore, although the amulet pen is expensive, its actual cost is actually quite low.

It can be said that if an amulet Tao master’s success rate does not reach fifty percent, they might risk making a loss.

Even if they reach a success rate of fifty percent, for every two amulet creations, if at least one is certain to succeed, the profit would only be one spirit stone.

Each time an amulet is created, it consumes the cost of two spirit stones.

A single amulet can be sold for five spirit stones.

If it takes three attempts to succeed once, it would mean losing one spirit stone.

This kind of amulet price.

It is a market price brought about by the intense competition among amulet Tao masters.

There is no alternative.

The number of people who can create amulets is simply too high.

If the success rate can’t be raised to fifty percent, most amulet Tao masters won’t even have the chance to make a living from it.

He Song couldn’t believe that after pondering over the Amulet Tao Introduction for only a year and hand-making amulets himself, his success rate could be as high as fifty percent.

In general.

Normal cultivators learning amulet making usually spend at least two years studying the Amulet Tao Introduction.

One of the reasons He Song only spent a year was because his cultivation had reached the Qi-refining mid stage and he had already mastered the Array Tao Introduction. He had a head start.

Hence, he was much faster than ordinary cultivators.

During practice, the success rate is usually not very high.

If among ten amulet creations, two can succeed, that can already be considered a promising newbie in amulet making.

Most ordinary cultivators can only succeed once in ten amulet creations, or even not succeed at all.

And amulet making.

Also requires spirit stones.

Each amulet creation requires at least the cost of two spirit stones.

Once failure happens, it is a total loss.

Of course, one can continue to study the Amulet Tao Introduction to increase the success rate.

When there are plenty of spirit stones later on, one can then use spirit stones to buy amulet paper and amulet ink to start making amulets.

This is why most cultivators only gradually master the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth after reaching the Qi-refining mid stage.

There is no other way.

They are simply too poor during the Qi Refining Early Stage.

Only when one’s cultivation reaches the Qi-refining mid stage and income increases, can they have the financial capability to learn amulet making.

Earlier, when Meng Guan wrote to He Song, saying that not mastering a particular skill in the Qi-refining mid stage was a late regret, it was because of this.

In the following time.

He Song used up all the six remaining amulet making materials.

However, in the end, out of ten materials for making amulets, only three were successful.

He ended up with three low-grade Thick Earth Amulets.

This result gave He Song a secret delight.

It seemed that by studying Array Skills in advance, as well as having excellent soul attributes, he was more suited to amulet making than ordinary cultivators.

On his first attempt at making amulets, the success rate was already over thirty percent.

With that rate, if he continues to ponder the Amulet Tao Introduction and practices slowly, he might soon be able to increase his success rate for making amulets to over fifty percent.

When that time comes.

It’s time to advertise his identity as an amulet Tao master.

Once everyone knows his status as an amulet Tao master.

He Song’s gaze turned towards the quiet room.

Within the quiet room, in that small cargo storage bag, there were still more than eleven thousand kilograms of spirit rice.

When the time comes, using the convenience of his position to sell all this spirit rice will lead to an income of over eleven hundred spirit stones. With this, he would no longer have to worry about lack of spirit stones in the future.

He put away the three low-grade Thick Earth Amulets on the table. After some thought, He Song decided to wait a while longer.

He would wait until his success rate really reached fifty percent.

Then start taking action.

In the following time, He Song’s life became peaceful again.

During the day, he took care of the Medicine Garden, using the rich spirit Qi of the Medicine Garden for cultivation. His cultivation level gradually increased, slowlv advancing towards the seventh-tier Oi Refining.

At night, he would return home and continue to study the Amulet Tao Introduction.

From time to time, he would bring out the amulet pen without dipping into the amulet ink, drawing on the table, trying to recall the feeling of making amulets.

However.

Due to the shortage of spirit stones, He Song simply didn’t have any spirit stones left for daily practice of making amulets.

Therefore, he could only wait for another year, until he received his annual salary, before making amulets again.

Before that, He Song decided to familiarize himself with the process of making amulets using a pen that had not been dipped in amulet ink, so that he would become more familiar with amulet making.

As for actually making amulets.

He would wait till he got his annual salary, then use it to buy materials and start drawing amulets.

At present, his identity as an amulet Tao master hadn’t been made known, and

He Song himself didn’t know what his current amulet making success rate was.

Under circumstances where he couldn’t explain the source of his spirit stones, He Song decided to wait another year.

After all, there was plenty of space in the small cargo storage bag. Subsequent harvests of spirit rice can also fit in, and he needn’t worry about it spoiling inside.

Rather than taking risks for the sake of some time.

It’s better to move forward according to his own plan.

That way, his safety can be ensured, and there would be no loss of the spirit rice grown..
