At this moment.
He Song’s cultivation was at the sixth-tier Qi Refining level.
The spiritual power within his body was naturally much stronger than that of cultivators in the Qi-refining early stage.
Therefore, his control of the spirit power was not comparable to that of Qi-refining early-stage cultivators.
As a result, compared to those amulet Tao masters who started practicing amulet making from the Qi Refining Early Stage, He Song was able to learn the art more easily with his sixth-tier Qi Refining cultivation.
At the same time, since He Song had traveled across dimensions, his soul was inherently strong, and the control he exerted over his own spirit power during amulet making was even stronger than ordinary cultivators.
As such, He Songs first attempt at amulet making was successful!
As He Song’s brush smoothly traced the complete amulet seal pattern on the amulet paper, a flash of light emerged from the paper.
Immediately after that, He Song felt some of his spiritual power within his body being absorbed by the amulet paper before his eyes.
Once the amulet paper stopped absorbing his spiritual power, the paper in front of He Song had successfully turned into a lower-grade Thick Earth Amulet worth five spirit stones.
However, He Song did not care about the formation of this Thick Earth Amulet.
On the contrary, at that moment, He Song was standing still in front of his desk with various insights from his recent amulet drawing experience constantly emerging in his mind.
A thousand readings would reveal the essence.
Hadn’t He Song studied the Amulet Tao Introduction more than a thousand times?
Now that he had successfully drawn a spirit amulet on his first try, his happiness was accompanied by an immense amount of enlightenment gained from the process.
So, that’s how amulet making should be done.
That’s how the Thick Earth Amulet should be drawn.
The power of the Thick Earth Amulet is directly proportional to the amount of spiritual power absorbed at the end.
so…
After a long time.
He Song, who was immersed in his insights, finally came to his senses and cast his gaze upon the Thick Earth Amulet in front of him.
“From now on, I, Amulet Tao Master He Song!”
Picking up the Thick Earth Amulet on the table, a fleeting look of surprise flashed in He Song’s eyes.
His first attempt at amulet making had been successful.
Although it was due to a combination of various factors, for He Song, it was an excellent start.
It is worth mentioning that typically, Qi Refining Early Stage cultivators who can succeed in amulet making one out of ten tries are considered very talented.
But what about He Song?
Although he had studied the Amulet Tao Introduction for a year, that was just theoretical knowledge.
This was still his first practical attempt at amulet making.
The success of his first attempt would bring He Song great morale boost.
Perhaps from this day forward, the success of this amulet making attempt
would greatly enhance He Song’s confidence in amulet making.
With such confidence and a large supply of spirit stones, it would be difficult for He Song’s amulet-making skills not to advance rapidly.
He Song set aside the lower-grade Thick Earth Amulet in his hand, made some minor adjustments to his state, and quickly prepared for his second attempt at amulet making.
Although he already had a successful experience.
He Song still meticulously executed each step of the amulet-making process, conscientiously recalling his actions and the amount of spiritual power output during his first successful attempt.
A moment later.
He Song became focused, lifted his pen, and began drawing the second lower- grade Thick Earth Amulet.
However, despite fully investing himself in the drawing process, his pen tip’s spiritual power suddenly fluctuated just as the Thick Earth Amulet was about to be completed, resulting in failure. His second attempt at amulet making.
Failed!
Looking at the discarded amulet paper in front of him and the crystalline amulet ink on it, He Song shook his head slightly.
“It seems that I still need to fine-tune the flow of spiritual power in my pen tip.
My spirit power output must be stable, and I mustn’t be impatient.”
After some contemplation, He Song quickly figured out the cause of his failure and secretly resolved to correct this mistake.
Following this, He Song closed his eyes to rest once more.
Only after feeling that he had fully recovered to his optimal state did He Song open his eyes.
Placing a sheet of amulet paper in front of him.
He Song picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and the pen tip danced gracefully across the paper.
At the window, the setting sun’s rays that were about to dip below the horizon streamed into the room, casting a golden glow upon He Song’s desk.
Even He Song’s figure was enveloped by the golden sunlight.
At this moment, He Song was completely focused with a lower-grade Ghost Wolf Amulet Brush in hand, drawing amulet seal patterns on the small amulet paper before him.
A short time after, He Song halted his arm movement and frowned at the amulet paper in front of him.
On the amulet paper.
The blood-like amulet ink had already solidified, and He Song’s pen tip remained at the lower part of the paper.
The spirit amulet was clearly unfinished.
However, He Song knew that both the amulet paper and the ink on it were now useless and could not be used anymore.
As for the reason.
He Song had figured it out.
When he was drawing the amulet seal, he had put slightly too much force into one stroke, causing the amulet seal’s pattern to change, and thus the spirit amulet could not be formed.
He put down the amulet pen and sighed softly.
“I thought I was an amulet-making genius, but it turns out that the first success was just a fluke. This second and third attempt truly reflect my real ability.”
Throwing the useless amulet paper aside, He Song picked up the now cold tea and drank it down in one gulp.
But then, he frowned, poured out the tea from the cup, picked up the teapot, and personally brewed a new pot of fine tea for himself.
Atterward,
He picked up the fragrant teapot and returned to his desk.
Failing in drawing spirit amulets twice, He Song needed to calm down and prevent recklessness.
He was naturally cautious and rarely acted recklessly.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Seated by his desk and facing the gradually setting sun outside the window, He Song drank the tea in his cup, one after another.
At the same time, He Song started mentally reviewing the points he needed to pay attention to while drawing spirit amulets.
Spirit power output.
Tracing with the pen tip.
The seamless brush strokes.
And most importantly, a stable mindset.
Amulet making has never been simple; it requires a lot of time for error correction and practice.
Practicing amulet making actually consumes a significant amount of spirit stones. Generally, talented cultivators who have a good comprehension of amulet making and reach the Qi-refining mid-stage can maintain a balance between profit and loss in their amulet making skills.
As their cultivation level and amulet-making skills improve, they will gradually start profiting until they earn more and more.
As for the cultivators with average understanding and unwillingness to work hard,
This period would be extended, with the specific duration depending on their comprehension level, effort put forth, and fluctuating accordingly.
However,
If an ordinary cultivator truly devoted themselves to researching Amulet Tao, they would at least not waste decades like those in array Tao without any talent.
Studying Amulet Tao, as long as you work hard, you will always see rewards.
A short while later.
Feeling that he had returned to his optimal state, He Song put down his teacup and picked up his amulet pen once more.
Placing a sheet of amulet paper in front of him, He Song took a long breath, adjusted his state, and then lifted the pen to start drawing his fourth spirit amulet..
