Did the Crown Prince break his vow today?
"Researching the production of talisman paper? Nonsense!" Qingpingzi reproached sternly. "Instead of properly drawing talismans, you're always engaging in these pointless little paths. How can you justify your demonic gift?"
"Why are you causing trouble? How did I become sorry for my talent? Wasn't my study of talisman paper for the purpose of better drawing talismans?" These words displeased Wu Meng. She couldn't remember the last time someone had disagreed with her research or dared to argue against her.
Which one of her studies is not highly sought after?
For a moment, Wumeng became stubborn and spoke in a harsh tone.
Qingping frowned, about to speak to reprimand, but saw the stubborn look in the little girl's eyes. Thinking that he was already hundreds of years old, he almost got into an argument with a young girl.
"Then tell me about your thoughts?" Qingpingzi silently recited the Clear Heart technique, calming himself down.
"Actually, it's because talisman paper is too expensive, and the quality is not good. The success rate of drawing spells with talisman paper bought outside is at most seven layers, and that's if I buy it from Baolu Tang. If I buy it from other places and it has a success rate of five layers, that's not bad. If I could make talisman paper myself, I should be able to save a lot of spirit stones," Wumeng said.
Thinking of the first time when the talisman paper was used up, I feel heartbroken just thinking about the pile of talisman paper I bought at the Wenbao Pavilion. At that time, I thought of going to Wenbao Pavilion for a stroll and just went in to take a look. Once inside, I was warmly pulled by a servant who enthusiastically introduced this and that, and even offered tea with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.
It's hard to refuse either. I just glanced at their talisman paper, and it looks good. The price is very reasonable too. Although it's 1 spirit stone for 100 sheets, if you buy 200 sheets, you get 20 sheets for free. If you buy 500 sheets, you get 100 sheets for free. Look at how great the discounts are.
I thought to myself, no matter where I buy, I am going to buy anyway. Plus, I am still in the learning stage, so it's okay to buy some as backup. So I couldn't help but spend my spirit stones to buy 500 tickets.
Little did I know, when I went back and let the steward inspect them, only 250 tickets were good. I was so angry that I almost threw those 250 tickets into the bonfire and burned them.
Actually, she didn't intend to study talisman paper herself. After all, as long as she knew how to draw the talisman, it was enough. It was just seeing the pile of silver hemp grass in the space that made the steward study it on her behalf. But she didn't expect the steward to be so slow in efficiency.
She just wanted to study and see, who knew it would take so many days.
"Is it just because of this?" Qingpingzi heard the words and felt that she was making a fuss over a small matter, and his temper was about to rise again, but he had already passed the catastrophe of the Golden Pill and achieved the Golden Pill, so he absolutely couldn't have the same knowledge as a little girl. "Indeed, the talisman paper sold in the outer market is indeed of uneven quality, but this is normal. If they are all top-quality, there would be no profit in selling 100 sheets for 1 spiritual stone."
"Seventy percent, fifty percent success rate is already very good. Should be content."
"Of course, but for me, it's different if it's someone else." Wu Meng looked at him with a smile and exclaimed, "And who just said that my seventy percent success rate is abnormal? Oh, I also think fifty percent is already pretty good."
After hearing these words, Qingpingzi's face turned red. It turned out that this was not something he should have said too quickly. But after being teased like this, he felt his anger subside by half. "Ahem, you should take a look at the quality of the talisman paper I have here. If it doesn't draw a 100% success rate, then it would be a disgrace to my talisman paper."
"Oh, so what is the success rate for you, old man?" Wumeng said with a smile.
"What 'old man'? Call me Master Uncle, don't you understand the importance of respecting teachers and teachings?" Qingpingzi glared at Wumeng, but didn't mention his success rate in drawing talismans.
"If you are dissatisfied with the quality of the talisman paper, there is no need to study talisman paper. I can provide you with practice. Just give me half of the drawn talisman."
Wu Meng heard this and indeed, it was a good plan. If she hadn't been involved in the research yet, she might have agreed to such favorable conditions.
However, now her main goal is no longer to research and create talismans to reduce her own cost. She wants to discover the chemical reaction between silver hemp grass and solid spirit grass.
Yes, it's a chemical reaction. After observing and analyzing the components of the talisman paper these days, she speculates that silver hemp grass and solid soul grass react chemically under certain conditions to form a new substance, which is the main constituent of the talisman paper.
Special analysis was conducted by her on the composition of different quality talismans. The higher the quality of the talisman, the more thorough the chemical reaction, which is also why high-quality talismans have balanced and stable spiritual power.
"No, I'm really curious about how the talisman paper is made, and I already have a rough idea." So Wumeng resolutely refused.
"If you just want to know how the talisman paper is made, there's no need to research it. I can take you to the talisman paper workshop to have a look." Qingpingzi smiled at the response and breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just a small matter like this, it would be easy to solve.
"Huh? Take me to the workshop?" Wu Meng was stunned by the words. Isn't this supposed to be classified information? Didn't they say that ancient people place great importance on secret formulas and such? No, this shouldn't be considered as a big secret compared to drawing talismans.
"Let's go, I'll take you to have a look," Qingpingzi smiled and said, "We just finished harvesting the silver hemp grass last month, so the workshop should be busy now."
Like this, Qingpingzi brought Umo to the paper talisman factory near the Herb Mountain. After visiting the whole process of making paper talismans, Umo had only one thing to say, "Coming here was all in vain."
The front part of the pulping process and the back part of the forming process are very clear, one can say it is crystal clear. But what about the middle part? Who can see what's inside the dark and big digester?
Reluctantly, Wu Meng spoke up, "Senior Qingping, may I use my divine consciousness to observe what's inside the cauldron?"
"There is a formation in the cauldron that isolates divine consciousness, so your divine consciousness cannot penetrate it," Qingping Zi shook his head.
"Then let me ask first, under what conditions does silver hemp and solid spirit grass undergo chemical, uh, refinement?" Umo couldn't help but ask directly.
"Why don't you go up and take a look for yourself?" Qingpingzi smiled.
"Go and have a look?" Wu Meng was puzzled, wondering where to go.
"There." Qingpingzi pointed to a ladder next to the large cauldron stove.
Wu Meng followed his hand and looked over. Sure enough, there was a ladder there. He had completely missed it earlier.
"Climb up and uncover the lid," Qingpingzi laughed.
"Oh, but will it not affect the refining process?" Wumeng pondered and said.
"No, every quarter of an hour, the servants here will come up and stir it, allowing the silver hemp pulp and the solid spirit grass liquid to fully refine," Qingpingzi explained.
"So, they need to extract juice from the Solid Spirit Grass?" Wu Meng, after hearing this, no longer hesitated and climbed up the ladder. The large cauldron was two meters high, and after he climbed up, he exerted some force to move the lid aside, revealing a white liquid with a green tint.
This green one should be the Solid Spirit Grass.
Hmm? Why is it not very hot? Wumeng touched it with her hand and found that it was less than 40 degrees. Then she released her divine awareness to observe and discovered another wave of spiritual energy emanating from the bottom of the cauldron and spreading into the liquid.
Is it temperature and spiritual power?
"Why are you causing trouble? How did I become sorry for my talent? Wasn't my study of talisman paper for the purpose of better drawing talismans?" These words displeased Wu Meng. She couldn't remember the last time someone had disagreed with her research or dared to argue against her.
