62: Chapter 62 The System of Magical Runes

These are the entire set of steps: guiding, gathering, combing, atmospherizing, combining, guiding again, filtering, sealing, and circulating; this is the complete layout process for the Qingyang Qi Chamber feng shui energy field.

The difficulty here lies in the fact that there is no method yet to filter out the needed Qingyang Qi while simultaneously preventing the entry of other Heaven and Earth Qi.

After contemplating his numerous abilities, Wang An decided to place his hope for solving the problem on the talisman inheritance he had exchanged for previously.

He had already basically mastered this talisman inheritance.

[Basic Talismans (Entry Level, 1/100)]

Although it contained the complete process of learning talismans, it did not have advanced talisman patterns, only introductions to a few basic talismans for calming the spirit and suppressing the residence.

In the process of comprehending and learning this talisman inheritance, Wang An discovered that within these talismans, the most important talisman scripts that produced the core functional effects also possessed a small amount of Principles of Law within them.

It was precisely by relying on the effect of the Principles of Law that various functions were created.

Therefore, combining this with the talisman inheritance, Wang An thought of two solutions: blocking and combing.

It was just like Great Yu, who tamed the waters, and his father, who used two different methods to control the floods.

He could arrange a circle of talismans specifically designed to absorb various Heaven and Earth Qi all around the Qingyang Qi Chamber.

Because Wang An discovered that the energy used by these talismans could be replaced by Heaven and Earth Qi. It was just like manipulating Heaven and Earth Qi inside the body, which required the consumption of both Heaven and Earth Qi and True Qi energy.

Talismans were also driven by the True Qi of the human body to produce effects.

Similarly, True Qi was just a form of energy; since True Qi could be used, Heaven and Earth Qi certainly could be used as well.

As for why Taoism did not use Heaven and Earth Qi as the energy for talismans...

It was possible that no one had researched a method to refine Heaven and Earth Qi, or perhaps they lacked the talent of a [Qi Refiner] and were unable to observe and utilize it.

Just like now, if Wang An did not use his skills, how could he guide Heaven and Earth Qi into his body?

His mental power could not leave his body, and once True Qi was released, it would dissipate without a carrier.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, if one wanted to refine Heaven and Earth Qi, if their three-dimensional attributes did not meet the standard, the body would be unable to bear the entry of such energy.

Furthermore, the materials used to bear the talismans, such as yellow paper or lightning-struck wood, could only withstand the injection of gentle True Qi.

However, the energy of Heaven and Earth Qi had different attributes, and without Precision in controlling and guiding it into the talismans, it would only destroy the carrier and the talisman structure.

Therefore, in summary, the materials used for the talismans were too poor, and the talisman structures were too fragile to withstand the impact of Heaven and Earth Qi.

Thus, Wang An could start from these two points: improve the materials used for the talismans, optimize the talisman structures, and increase their resistance to impact.

As for how to distinguish and absorb other Heaven and Earth Qi while not absorbing the Qingyang Qi, Wang An was temporarily unsure; all problems still had to return to experimentation.

He could only carve corresponding talismans based on the Principles of Law he had comprehended for the corresponding Heaven and Earth Qi.

For example, right now, Wang An had already combined and refined Lesser Yang Qi, mountain forest water energy, mountain forest clear energy, and morning dew water energy.

He could only carve corresponding talismans based on these Principles of Law.

He could observe these talismans of different Principles of Law to see if, due to the reasons of the Principles of Law, there was any bias in absorbing energy.

Thereby filtering out different affinities to carry out a reasonable layout.

Furthermore, perhaps he could combine these talismans that exerted different effects into an array to mask the influence of the Qingyang Qi Chamber, which could also be considered making the best use of everything.

As for the specific materials to use for the carrier, it would naturally be the meteorite that had carried the rule talisman fragments.

Since the meteorite could carry that, it would surely be no problem to carry Principles of Law with a lower status.

As for how to enhance the impact resistance of the talismans, he could remove those parts that communicated with the energy field and deities, streamline the talismans, and use the vacated space to strengthen the circulation channels and the overall structure.

He would retain the core talisman Principles of Law, and in the carving, he would include runes for guiding energy entry and storing energy, paired with runes that connected and resonated with the talisman.

In this way, a system of Principles of Law talismans that exerted the corresponding Principles of Law effects would be initially formed.

After Wang An finished his conceptualization, he began to take out yellow paper, cinnabar, and brush and ink to verify his hypothesis.

First, the first step was the selection of the talisman scripts. Given Wang An's current level of comprehension of [Innate Lunar Essence Spirit-Nourishing Mysterious Qi (30%)], the Principles of Law talismans he drew were already taking shape.

Depending on the different levels of comprehension, the power and functions that could be drawn would also differ.

The more and the more profound the Principles of Law contained in the core Principles of Law talisman, the more powerful the effect would be.

With Wang An's current 30% comprehension level, the effect of the drawn talisman was roughly about 30% of the corresponding Wondrous Qi; here, the power of the talisman corresponded to the Wondrous Qi.

After drawing the Yun Shen Talisman Principles of Law he had comprehended, Wang An could clearly feel that the Principles of Law contained within it were faintly communicating with the surrounding Heaven and Earth rules.

However, because there was no energy drive, no concrete effect was manifested.

Wang An continued to draw the energy-guiding talisman script; as a basic symbol of the talisman inheritance, it could smoothly, stably, and fluidly guide energy into the core functional talisman area.

After finishing drawing these two talisman scripts, he picked up the piece of yellow paper with the talismans drawn on it and slowly circulated the True Qi within his body, injecting it into it.

As the energy was injected, it was guided by the energy-guiding talisman script into the core talisman area. When the Yun Shen Talisman touched the energy, it immediately triggered its Principles of Law effect, communicating with the surrounding Heaven and Earth rules.

He could clearly feel it, just like when he normally operated the Spirit-Nourishing Wondrous Qi, feeling his spirit become lighter, only the effect was much worse.

Because this talisman did not have an energy-storing talisman script drawn on it, the effect stopped immediately after Wang An stopped injecting True Qi.

After this piece of paper stopped being used, the talisman paper became somewhat "fatigued" due to the circulation of True Qi energy, and the talisman patterns also had problems such as defects and breaks due to the scouring of the energy, and it could no longer function.

For the second piece of talisman paper, he added an energy-storing talisman script. After finishing drawing it, Wang An filled this piece of talisman paper with True Qi energy.

After using it and timing it, the effect of the entire piece of talisman paper lasted for a total of one hour.

"The duration is too short."

Wang An had some questions: why did this situation occur?

"The talisman inheritance clearly introduces that talismans of the residence-suppressing and spirit-calming types can last for one or two months after being filled with True Qi."

"The duration of this kind of Principles of Law talisman that I can draw myself is so much shorter."

Wang An took the residence-suppressing talisman he had drawn previously, compared and felt the two, and he discovered the difference.

First, there were other talisman script blocks on the residence-suppressing talisman, which reduced the loss of True Qi energy, increased the speed of energy circulation, and reduced consumption during the operation process.

These aspects were what he still needed to learn, combining more functional talisman scripts to reduce consumption and increase duration.

There was another reason that led to the inability to last long; because the Principles of Law talisman scripts were larger and more complex than the core talisman scripts of other talismans, and the entire talisman paper was limited by its material and size, it was impossible to draw too many energy-storing talisman scripts.

However, Wang An's Principles of Law talisman scripts had one advantage.
