Sitting on the slope merchant residence.
After finishing his daily practice, when Shang Xia came out of the secret room, his expression was full of depression.
During this time, Shang Xia spent most of his time dealing with some things that had accumulated during his retreat.
Especially the things from Fu Tang, most of them were Fu seekers who came to admire them.
If it was an ordinary person seeking talismans, Fu Tang would be able to handle it for him.
But there are always some warriors who come with various relationships to ask for talismans, including those who come with heavy gifts, that is, Fu Tang is inconvenient to make decisions for Shang Xia.
In fact, not to mention the ordinary Fu masters of Fu Hall, it was Shang Xia himself, when he saw the gift list offered by those who asked for Fu, he was also moved.
After much consideration, Shang Xia still used the excuse that he had just entered the Fourth Heaven and his cultivation was not yet stable, so he declined most of the people who asked for talismans, and only selected some people with strong relationships or who brought generous gifts to agree.
Of course, all of this was based on not affecting Shang Xia's daily cultivation.
In fact, after more and more people learned that Shang Xia had successfully advanced to the fourth heaven and left Yu Xifeng, many Fu seekers did not even go to the Fu Hall, but directly came to the merchant's residence to ask for a request, half of them really wanted to ask for Fu, while the other half wanted to wait for an opportunity to get acquainted with Shang Xia, the new fourth heaven.
Because anyone with a little knowledge knew that with the superb talisman skills that Shang Xia had shown in the martial arts before him, it was only a matter of time before he advanced to the fourth heaven and then became a fourth-order talisman master.
Speaking of which, when Shang Xia advanced to the fourth heaven that day, the movement was so big that it was almost universally known, and he didn't know how many people were already staring at him overtly and secretly.
Shang Xia was also tired of being troubled, so he announced that he would close the door and thank the guests, and only asked Shang Quan and Shang Tai to select a small number of suitable people from the people who asked for talismans.
Just half a month after leaving Yu Xifeng, Shang Xia encountered an extremely depressing thing in his daily practice.
Although during this time, he was still mainly focused on consolidating his own cultivation, he would still try to refine the Four Seasons Spirit Demon.
However, in this process, Shang Xia found that the efficiency of his refining the Four Seasons Spirit Demon was not only greatly reduced, it could be said that there was no progress.
In the advanced process, the Four Seasons Spirit Demon was refined and integrated into the origin like a moth to a flame, but at this time, the Four Seasons Spirit Demon and Shang Xia's origin seemed to have completely lost their induction.
"Do you still have to go back to Yuxi Peak and take advantage of the significant changes of the four seasons on the mountain there?"
Regarding the stagnation of cultivation, Shang Xia was not without speculation.
Among them, he thought the most likely reason was that in the two realms of war, except for a special zone like Yu Xifeng, there were not only significant changes in day and night, but also the changes in the four seasons.
Shang Xia inferred through advanced potions that perhaps the improvement of his own cultivation, especially the continued refining of the Four Seasons Spirit Demon, was very likely to be related to the significant changes in the four seasons.
Thinking of this, Shang Xia eagerly wanted to return to Yu Xifeng in his heart.
Fortunately, this time he didn't wait long.
About three days passed
, Ren Huan came to the door to meet him.
Shang Xia hurriedly welcomed him in, and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Ren, how is it?"
Ren Huan said with a look of shame: "I'm ashamed, that rank four giant rat skin, in fact, after the small merchant Fu Master began to retreat on Yu Xi Peak, he started to try to make it, because he thought that after you advanced to the fourth heaven, you might immediately hit the rank four Fu making master. But I never thought that I still overestimated myself and underestimated the difficulty of making fourth-order talisman paper......"
After not seeing each other for a few months, the identity between the two has changed drastically.
Shang Xia has now advanced to the fourth heaven, as if he has entered the ranks of high-level martial artists, not to mention in Tongyou Academy, even in the entire Cangyu Realm and Cangling Realm, he is already a veritable master.
Because of this, when Ren Huan saw Shang Xia again, he had already taken the initiative to lower his posture in his words.
Shang Xia felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but he was still relieved: "It doesn't matter, Brother Ren is also trying to make fourth-order talisman paper for the first time, how can he succeed as soon as he comes up? Now is the time to accumulate experience......"
Before Shang Xia finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ren Huan's "forehead", only to hear him whisper: "It's not all failures......"
Shang Xia's expression was stunned, and the next life came: "What?"
Ren Huan touched his nose and said carefully: "A complete fourth-order giant rat skin, when fully utilized, could originally be made into five to six fourth-order talisman papers, but with low means, not only did it only cut into four skins, but in the end, only two fourth-order talisman papers were made, which is really a shame!"
Ignoring Ren Huan's face full of shame, Shang Xia was overjoyed and said: "It's made? And it's still two? Brother Ren, you are already a rank four Fu craftsman!"
Ren Huan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Where? We have rules in the business of making talisman paper, and we must have a success rate of more than half before we can be recognized by our peers. If I want to truly get the recognition of the fourth-order master from my peers, that giant rat skin should be made into at least three fourth-order talisman papers."
Compared with Ren Huan's regretful face, Shang Xia said disapprovingly: "Isn't there a piece of talisman paper missing? With experience this time, there will definitely be no problems next time."
Ren Huan smiled bitterly and shook his head, where would there be so many opportunities to make fourth-order talisman paper?
Not to mention anything else, it was not easy to gather all the various spiritual materials needed to make fourth-order talisman paper.
Not to mention the rest, let's just say that the giant rat skin was peeled off from the fourth-order strange beast, who can deal with it when the idle warrior can deal with it?
There must have been more or less a batch of spiritual materials stored in the Fu Hall for making rank four talisman paper, but after all, Ren Huan had just integrated into the Fu Hall, although the craftsmanship of making talisman paper was good, but when it came to status and qualifications, these opportunities might not be his turn.
It's just that Ren Huan himself knew that right now was his biggest opportunity, and it was also the biggest advantage he had compared to other Fu artisans in the Fu Hall.
That is Shang Xia!
Ren Huan had a friendship with Fu Tang, a martial artist who was most likely to become a fourth-order Fu master!
As long as Shang Xia was willing to speak for him, the batch of spiritual materials stored in the Fu Hall for making rank four talisman paper in the future would definitely be distributed to him.
Thinking of this, Ren Huan himself felt that his luck was really good, and he was glad that he had met Shang Xia and entered the Fu Hall.
Although there is also a deliberate element in this, Ren Huan's own skills in making talisman paper are not good
Get a parole.
The hesitant expression on Ren Huan's face naturally couldn't be hidden from Shang Xia, so he asked with a smile: "Brother Ren, but what is the unspeakable secret?"
Ren Huan thought for a while and said, "I dare not hide it from the small merchant Fu Master, this time I actually came with a request."
Shang Xia said sincerely when he heard this: "Brother Ren, please speak, Shang will do his best."
Ren Huan said: "The small merchant Fu master knows that there should be a fourth-order talisman paper in the Fu Hall."
Shang Xia nodded and smiled: "Tongyou Academy has been established for more than twenty years, and there are naturally some foundations, although there has never been a fourth-order Fu master before, but a few fourth-order talisman papers have been collected from various channels, and even the fourth-order martial talismans are not absent, but most of them have been used."
Speaking of this, Shang Xia's tone paused, and then said: "In fact, long before I advanced to the fourth heaven, the two Fu masters of Fu Hall, Gong and Fan, had said that I could use everything in the Fu Hall to impact the rank four Fu masters at any time."
Ren Huan said sincerely: "The small merchant Fu master is valued by the Fu Hall, and he is the person everyone expects."
Shang Xia smiled and said: "Brother Ren, between you and me, there is no need to say this, right?"
Ren Huan smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, it is for a batch of spiritual materials for making fourth-order talisman paper!"
Ren Huan raised his eyes to glance at Shang Xia, and then said: "Fu Tang can collect ready-made fourth-order talisman paper, so naturally he also has some materials for making fourth-order talisman paper. I am a little selfish, I hope that when Fu Tang distributes these materials, he can also include them."
Shang Xia said strangely: "With Brother Ren's ability to make talisman paper, isn't he qualified to get an allocated quota?"
Ren Huan smiled bitterly, but didn't say much.
Shang Xia already understood in his heart, and said seriously: "I already know about this, just don't worry, brother!"
Soon after Ren Huan left, the two rank three Fu masters Gong and Fan from Fu Hall came to visit together.
Because after Shang Xia came down from Yu Xi Peak, he knew that Fu Tang was going to prepare for the production of fourth-order martial talismans, so these two Fu Tang speakers took out the things at the bottom of Fu Tang's box over the years for him to choose.
Six or seven pieces of fourth-order talisman paper, a small bottle of fourth-order talisman ink, a few strands of sealed evil mist, and a newly made middle-grade sharp weapon-level talisman pen......
Master Gong Fu said apologetically: "Fu Tang has not produced a talisman master for more than twenty years, and the accumulation should have been more, but over the years, there have always been unwilling people who have forcibly tried to make fourth-order martial talismans, hey, it's hard to say......, there is Gong so-and-so among these people who don't measure their own strength, ashamed!"
Shang Xia already felt that it was an unexpected joy when he saw these things, and naturally he didn't take Gong Fu Master's sigh to heart, and said with a smile: "Sir, if it were Shang Xia himself, he would not give up trying. Fu Tang and these seniors were able to leave so many things, Shang Xia was already grateful."
Gong Fu Master sighed lightly and said, "Small business Fu Master, the rest is up to you, you must succeed!"
Shang Xia could feel the high expectations from Master Gong Fu's words, so he said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, Shang Xia will do his best."
Subsequently, Shang Xia had another exchange of Fu masters with Gong and Fan about the experience of making talismans, especially Master Gong Fu told Shang Xia in detail about the process of making fourth-order martial talismans that he had tried three times at the beginning.
Until before the two Fu Masters took their leave, Shang Xia seemed to mention Ren Huan unintentionally, talking about his superb skills in making talisman paper, he was now able to barely make rank four talisman paper, and in time he would definitely become a rank four master.
