Chapter 24: It’s all about robbery in the end!
Once you have mastered the evolution rules between primary lower-level talismans and primary intermediate-level talismans, you will find that the evolution from primary intermediate-level to primary upper-level talismans also has obvious rules to follow!

The enhanced part can be named "Super Version XX".
In order to make it simple, clear and easy to remember, Sun Zecheng simply named it according to the grade of the finished product!

Similar: Fire Bullet Talisman (lower elementary level); Fire Cloud Talisman (middle elementary level); Fire Dragon Talisman (upper elementary level)
Changed to: Fire Bomb Talisman; Intermediate Fire Bomb Talisman; Advanced Fire Bomb Talisman;

Anyway, it's just the different appearances brought about by the increased power and upgrades. The essence is the same: setting fire to people!
After mastering the patterns representing the meaning of upgrading, Sun Zecheng now feels that as long as he has the primary lower-level talismans, he can draw the corresponding primary intermediate and primary upper-level talismans.

However, he soon discovered that he had taken it for granted, and the rules did not apply to every symbol!
For example, the relationship between the lower-level primary rejuvenation talisman and the intermediate-level primary rejuvenation talisman is not a simple "strengthening" or "more powerful" pattern!

The reason for discovering this difference was that Sun Zecheng found that he could not successfully make a lower-level rejuvenation talisman!

Then Sun Zecheng looked up "The Fundamentals of Five Elements Talisman Making" and was surprised to find that the direct difference between the two was not a simple "strengthening" or "more powerful", but that he had never seen the picture.

But even if Sun Zecheng drew the talisman in the same way, he would still fail!
After repeated failed attempts, Sun Zecheng gave in!

He couldn't even make a basic lower-level talisman. It was definitely not because of insufficient mana or spiritual energy or insufficient spiritual power. If he copied it in the same way, he wouldn't make a mistake in making such a simple basic lower-level talisman! After thinking about it, he could only guess that it was because he didn't have the corresponding five elements spiritual roots!

The rejuvenation talisman is a talisman of the wood and water elements. Sun Zecheng only has water spiritual roots and no wood spiritual roots, so he cannot draw it!

With this guess, Sun Zecheng tried to make a gold talisman that he didn't have! As expected, all of them failed!
So that's it! Sun Zecheng was very interested. These were all lacking in exploration and introduction in the original book! The main reason was that Han Li's main business was spiritual plants. Later, he developed alchemy, animal breeding and puppetry. In short, Han Li messed up a lot of things! But he invested very little time and energy in the most cost-effective formations and talismans!
Some of the spells belong to special spiritual roots, such as the thunder spell and the continuous thunder talisman. Sun Zecheng discovered that he could also draw the three spiritual roots of water, fire and earth!
In fact, Sun Zecheng also couldn't understand the five elements of many spells, but it didn't matter. He would experiment, experiment again and again. If it worked, it would work, and if it didn't, it wouldn't!

Fortunately, most of the talismans that Sun Zecheng had used in previous robberies could be made! That was great!
The Gale Talisman may require a wood spiritual root, but it cannot be made anyway. No problem, just buy it.

The Vajra Talisman requires a gold spiritual root, so it cannot be made. Fortunately, it can be replaced with a Stone Shield Talisman, which has a similar defensive power. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages!
Short-distance directional teleportation talisman. My level is not high enough to make such an advanced talisman, so I can only buy it.

What made Sun Zecheng the happiest was that he could make the Escape Talisman! After all, this talisman was complicated. At the beginning, he failed dozens of times and almost thought he couldn't make it. Fortunately, he persisted and tried a few more times, and finally succeeded!
Sun Zecheng originally thought that it took an extraordinary spiritual root or a thunder spiritual root to make the Lianzhu Thunder Talisman, but he didn't expect that it would work just by trying it himself! What a pleasant surprise!
Sun Zecheng wrote down all these and wrote "The Way to Make Talismans" on the cover. After thinking for a while, he added the four words "Science is Success" which is a pun, and named it "The Way to Make Talismans, Science is Success"

After five months of selfless practice, Sun Zecheng mastered all the main talismans that can be made with his three spiritual roots!

Sun Zecheng simply fixed the three golden pens in a row and drew three talismans at a time! After half a month of familiarity, the efficiency was three times higher than before! After another half a month, the materials bought at the beginning were finally used up! Sun Zecheng disliked the poor materials and unstable quality of these talismans made in the early stage, so he sold them all cheaply to the market for a total of 700 yuan, which was actually 720 yuan, but Sun Zecheng casually stuffed the 20 yuan change into the pocket of the market's receiving steward.

It cost me nearly seven hundred spirit stones to buy materials. All in all, I just broke even during the training phase!

The production material cost of this business is actually very low!
The yellow talisman paper that Sun Zecheng bought for practice was 12 sheets for one spirit stone. When he went back to buy goods, because he was once a steward of the market and now a senior who had established his foundation, the younger generations were very discerning and continued to settle the bill at a 10% discount on the internal price. As for cinnabar, the market price was 10 spirit stones per bottle, and the internal price was 8.

During the training stage, the scrap rate reaches 80%, so you can't make any money.

But after half a year of crazy practice, Sun Zecheng's success rate in making lower-level talismans reached 80%, and his success rate in making intermediate-level talismans reached 60%.
It can be said that if Sun Zecheng is willing, it is completely possible for him to make a living by making talismans!

But Sun Zecheng was not interested in becoming a production-oriented monk!

The purpose of making talismans now is not to transform! It's just that there is no robbery to fight. The purpose of making talismans now is to fight robbery in the future!
Once you have seen the ocean, all other waters are but puddles; once you have tasted the joy of robbery, it will be hard to go back to being a producer!
Scientific robbery, huge profits! You tell me to work hard to earn a salary? !
After Sun Zecheng sold all his talismans, he bought another batch of talisman making materials, but this batch of materials was more sophisticated than the previous ones. Especially the talisman ink, the primary and intermediate talismans were replaced with purple talisman ink made from the blood of second-level monsters instead of cinnabar made from the blood of first-level monsters! The market price was 100 yuan per bottle, and the internal price was 80! The talisman paper was also replaced with green talisman paper, one spirit stone for five pieces, and the internal price was two spirit stones for a dozen!
After scientific analysis, Sun Zecheng believes that the upper limit of the carrying capacity is determined by the talisman paper. If the carrying capacity is exceeded, the talisman paper will spontaneously combust! For primary talismans, green talisman paper is enough, and there has been almost no spontaneous combustion! And the talisman is the key! The graphics are drawn by the talisman ink! The function of the talisman is determined by the graphics! And the amount of spiritual energy contained in the talisman also depends on the talisman ink and the infusion of the talisman painter! The talismans made now are prepared for their own use, so they must use good materials!
Sun Zecheng calculated that he spent 200 spirit stones to buy 1,200 pieces of green talisman paper, 1,200 to buy 15 bottles of purple talisman ink, and 100 to buy 12 bottles of cinnabar, which was used to draw elementary lower-level talismans and intermediate-level escape talismans. When he paid the bill, he still needed 500 yuan after spending the 1,000 low-level spirit stones he had seized during the trip to the forbidden area! He also took out five intermediate-level spirit stones!
After buying the talisman materials, there were still 24 mid-level spiritual stones left in his pocket. Since there were still spiritual stones, Sun Zecheng did not consider selling the stolen goods for the time being. Let's go back to Lubo Cave to continue drawing talismans!

In four months, all 1,200 pieces of green talisman paper were used up! There were still two bottles of purple talisman ink and five bottles of cinnabar left.

Final harvest:
Stone Shield Talisman (Primary Upper Level Earth Shield) 150 pieces
Ice Shield Talisman (Primary Upper Level Water Shield) 100 pieces
Thunder Explosion Talisman (Primary Upper Level Thunder) 100 pieces
Fire Dragon Talisman (Primary Upper Level Fire Bomb) 100 pieces
Stone Escape Talisman (Primary Upper Level Earth Escape Talisman) 50 pieces

Escape Talisman (Elementary Intermediate) 150 pieces
160 pieces of Earth Escape Talisman (lower elementary level)
After mad practice, the success rate of intermediate and higher level talismans has improved. The final average success rate is about 65%, while the success rate of lower level talismans is still 80%.

Adding the few cards I bought before and didn’t use, this number is enough for us to fight a scientific robbery or even a battle with three or five people before the invasion of the six evil sects.

After taking a storage bag to hold the talismans and packing everything up, Sun Zecheng felt at ease again.
