Chapter 116: Qin Yun's Persistence!

  "Don't be anxious, I also had high expectations of you." The soft voice of Shui Wenyin, who was sitting beside him, said: "Let's stop for today, get a good rest tonight and we'll continue practicing tomorrow."

  "Sorry, Master!" Qin Yun replied apologetically: "I'd like to try again."

  "Haste makes waste! I think your brushwork is fine, just lacking practice and a calm mindset." Shui Wenyin shook her head: "Listen to Master's words, rest early tonight!"

  Qin Yun also felt that he was impatient and had achieved nothing, so he didn't persist: "I'll listen to Master's words, Master also asked you to rest well and not overwork."

  Shui Wanqing smiled and nodded, then got up and returned to her living quarters in the backyard.

  After Shui Wenyin left, Qin Yun was still unwilling. He thought for a moment and took a set of symbol papers and ink from the desk back to his own room.

  However, Qin Yun did not continue practicing with them, but instead opened the Qian Kun Secret Realm and entered the Small Qian Kun World.

  The lush green meadow was as serene as ever, with a gentle breeze and beautiful sunshine. The soulful swordsman who had clashed with Qin Yun dozens of times still stood by the small river, tall and dressed in white, his expression calm and indifferent.

  Qin Yun appeared more than thirty steps away from his opponent, so when he appeared, the Soul Sword Guest didn't have any reaction at all.

  "Senior, we meet again!"

  Qin Yun suddenly had a mischievous idea and loudly greeted his opponent from afar.

  The sound rolled over the vast expanse of wilderness, and a faint echo seemed to come from between heaven and earth.

  Although he knew that the soul sword guest would not pay attention to himself at all, after shouting this sentence, Qin Yun felt that his mood had relaxed a lot.

  He lowered his head and saw the symbol paper, pen and ink in his hand, as well as a flat wooden case.

  No problem at all!

  Since obtaining the Qian Kun Bu Tian Stone, Qin Yun relied on his own continuous efforts and gradually lifted the mysterious veil of this rare treasure, understanding its functions and abilities more and more.

  Qian Kun Secret Realm is undoubtedly the most powerful divine ability obtained from Qian Kun Supplementing Heaven Stone so far. Without the help of Qian Kun Secret Realm, Qin Yun would absolutely not be able to achieve his current strength in just one or two years.

  In the process of continuous use, he also discovered many properties of Qiankun Secret Realm, such as when entering, if holding something in his hand, it will necessarily appear in the small Qiankun world.

  Qin Yun had tried before, anything except living things could be brought in, he usually only brought his own Qinghu sword.

  This time, Qin Yun did not bring the Qinghua Sword, but instead brought in the tools and materials for refining talismans.

  He wanted to try if he could practice drawing talismans inside to improve his proficiency, and if it was possible, it would definitely save precious materials.

  He sat down directly on the grass, set up his wooden desk, spread out the rice paper, picked up his brush and started practicing.

  Everything is just like what was done in the study earlier, Qin Yun felt no difference between here and the outside world.

  Jù Huǒ Fú is one of the seventy-two basic talismans, composed of five talismanic characters, and its difficulty is not considered very high.

  Because he had copied it dozens of times before, Qin Yun was already familiar with the structure of the talisman, and as soon as he picked up his brush, the red strokes appeared steadily on the paper.

  Perhaps because he no longer had to worry about failing and suffering losses, his mood was exceptionally relaxed, completely not needing him to intentionally control it, the yuan force that he condensed flowed into the vermilion ink through the tip of his brush, the talismans gradually taking shape.

  The two biggest difficulties in refining talismans are first and foremost the control of yuan force.

  The power of the yuan is not used to attack enemies or protect oneself, it does not require how strong the strength is, but requires precise control of the yuan. When writing, one more thread cannot be added, and one less thread cannot be reduced.

  It's actually a matter of mastering the brushwork, requiring that when painting or writing calligraphy, there can be no hesitation or broken strokes, and it must be done with precision and accuracy in one breath, which is difficult to achieve without sufficient practice.

  Qin Yun once again arrived at the original failed position, his brush stroke directly falling down, and when it was about to touch the symbol below, it suddenly turned inward, with a slight pause of his wrist and a light hook of the pen tip as the ending.

  Done!

  He picked up his pen and looked at the finished yellow talisman in front of him, hardly daring to believe it was from his own hand.

  If you let someone who doesn't understand take a look, all they see is that the palm-sized talisman has curved and complicated patterns drawn on it like a ghostly painting, as if a mischievous child had scribbled randomly.

  But to Qin Yun, who had just entered the world of Fu Lu, this yellow talisman was clear and distinct in its strokes, with even ink flow and no signs of stagnation. The five characters flowed smoothly from front to back without any errors, making it an absolutely perfect piece of work.

  But whether it is successful or not, Qin Yun's lack of experience makes it impossible for him to make an accurate judgment, but he can verify it through actual use.

  He put down his brush and almost eagerly picked up the yellow talisman, grasped it in his hand, and with a slight movement of his breath, suddenly slapped it forward.

  Wow!

  A huge fireball condensed in front of Qin Yun's palm and flew forward immediately!

  It flashed across dozens of steps between breaths, fell on the grass and exploded with a loud noise, turning into countless sparks.

  Success!

  Absolute success!

  Qin Yun couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and he jumped up with a loud laugh. All the depression and frustration that had accumulated in his heart disappeared without a trace!

  As he had expected, Fu Lu was able to refine and use in the Small Qian Kun World.

  This means that he can use the Qiankun Secret Realm to practice repeatedly and continuously in the future, without worrying about wasting materials. If ten times don't work, then a hundred times; if a hundred times don't work, then a thousand times, or even ten thousand times!

  Shui Wanying had once told him that a powerful symbol master didn't just need talent, but more importantly, effort. Only through countless practices could one gain even the slightest bit of progress.

  Qin Yun can rely on the secret realm of Qiankun to have ten times more practice time than others, and he can squander materials without restriction. Therefore, his progress in talismans will absolutely not be inferior to anyone else's.

  After a while, Qin Yun's excited mood had subsided a lot.

  One successful talisman refinement does not mean that all subsequent refinements will be successful. A qualified talisman master who refines yellow or cloud talismans with a success rate of 30% to 40% is considered qualified, while an excellent one can reach 50% to 60%.

  Even the most outstanding talisman makers dare not guarantee 100% success, and the higher the level of the talisman, the lower the success rate, and the price is naturally more expensive.

  He then made a second Huǒyào Fú but it was a failure.

  This failure made Qin Yun's mind much calmer, and he found that his mental state had a great impact on the refinement of talismans. Shui Wanjing had also given similar warnings before.

  So Qin Yun didn't rush to continue, but instead waited until his mood had completely calmed down before starting to refine the third piece.

  The third one succeeded!

  The fourth, fifth and sixth hundred sheets of talismans were quickly consumed.

  Gradually, Qin Yun poured all his attention into the brush in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the brush danced like flying. Whether it was success or failure, neither could affect his mood anymore.

  However, after a certain stroke fails, he will stop and think deeply about the reasons behind it, and then continue writing without making the same mistake again.

  In less than half an hour, all the talismans were used up.

  Qin Yun made a final check because he had the experience of succeeding for the first time, so he had the most intuitive judgment about whether the refining was successful or not. He estimated that there should be about thirty-five pieces without any problems.

  By the master's standards, he can be considered a qualified apprentice now.

  To become a true symbol master, one must refine even higher-level cloud symbols.

  All the successfully refined Huo Fu symbols were used up by Qin Yun, and for a time, the grassland was filled with flying fireballs, booming everywhere, burning the grass black in patches, and leaving behind a trail of devastation.

  During use, Qin Yun found that the power of the Huo Yu Fu was very limited. Even a martial artist who had refined his Qi to two or three layers of heaven could easily shatter it with a sword, and the exploding fire points were not very threatening either.

  After squandering everything, he exited the Small Dry Universe and waited for a moment before re-entering.

  Just like the first time, Qin Yun's talisman paper and ink were intact and flawless, and he could continue to refine them without any problems!

  But in this process, Qin Yun also discovered that his dantian true energy consumption speed was actually more than when he fought with the Soul Sword Guest.

  Using the Qian Kun Supplementing Heaven Stone to open the Qian Kun Secret Realm requires Qin Yun to continuously consume his true energy to maintain it. The more abundant his true energy, the longer he can stay in the Small Qian Kun World.

  If it were just cultivating the technique, that would be fine, but when encountering intense battles, the consumption of true energy would increase exponentially. Qin Yun did not expect that refining talismans would consume more than fighting.

  But he didn't mind too much, believing that as his own strength and realm continued to improve, the time it took to support the Small Dry Universe would become longer and longer.

  So he went in and out, until the true energy of his dantian was completely exhausted, before Qin Yun finally stopped with a lingering tone.

  Through continuous practice in the Small Qian Kun World, he fully grasped the technique of making Huo Yu Fu.

  Most importantly, his confidence has greatly increased.

  After recovering three-tenths of his strength through the operation of luck, Qin Yun began to truly start refining the Fire Gathering Symbol.

  This time, as he picked up the brush, he felt a world of difference from before. He almost didn't hesitate at all, and with just ten breaths, he completed an entire Flame Gathering Seal!

  After finishing, he put his hands on one side and started making the second, third, and so on until all the symbol papers were used up, completely forgetting the passage of time!

  Finally, after checking, Qin Yun suddenly found that the success rate exceeded 40%, and as many as 43 talismans were fine!

  In his excitement, he pinched a talisman and casually slapped it forward.

  Terrible!

  At the moment he made his move, Qin Yun suddenly realized that this was not a small Qiankun world, but his own room!

  But it was too late to regret, the fireball released by the Huǒyǐn symbol suddenly flew forward and heavily crashed into the door, instantly blasting the not-so-thick door panel!

  Boom!

  A dull rumble instantly spread throughout the entire Cloud Water Pavilion!
