Silver Overlord Chapter 553

Chapter 553 - Talisman master

The talisman master heritage from the Taiyi Talisman Manual was too shocking and if he revealed it, it would be a huge problem. So since the beginning, Yan Liqiang never showed anyone this side regarding his capabilities. Even he built this secret room by himself after he came back. No one knew about it. Even if someone came down, they wouldn’t be able to find it. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to go in. If someone tried to forcefully open the stone room, then everything in this room would self destruct the moment the stone door was broken. Nothing useful would be left behind. These were the self-protection means of talisman masters.

The metal rack from before was the work station for talisman masters. It was also the core equipment of this secret room. In the talisman master industry, this metal rack had a special name called talisman stand. The structure of the stand was symbolic of a talisman master’s capabilities because the entire stand was a huge spirit qi talisman equipment. In normal standards, only those who could build a talisman stand could be considered a talisman master. Many apprentices could use talisman stand but they didn’t have the individual capability of building one. Yan Liqiang guessed that counting the Great Han Empire and the nearby countries, talisman masters who could build their talisman stand could be counted with two hands and he was one of them.

The use of the talisman stand was similar. One was to create metal, the second was to structure runes, the third was to mold crystals and the fourth was to form artifacts. These four processes made up the procedure that a talisman master used to create talismans. Every talisman master’s stand had a similar use, but each stand had the distinct characteristics of each talisman master. Yan Liqiang’s talisman stand’s metallic structure looked like the watermelon leaves. The leaves were huge and there were a few fruits borne on them. This was a pocket dimension for storing things and creating metal. Yan Liqiang felt great interest in using this stand.

Although he had quietly become a talisman master, Yan Liqiang still felt ecstatic everyone time he stood before this stand and tried to forge something. It was like using magic. This world was very magical and the most magical thing wasn’t the martial arts and cultivation but the mysterious spirit Qi in this world, rare beast cores, and the unimaginable power system of talisman masters.

He could still manage to understand the theory behind the things of the ironsmith workshop and the manufacturing bureau as the scientific knowledge he knew from his past life was still useful here. He could still act knowledgeable in front of those workers. But everything related to a talisman master was far beyond Yan Liqiang’s understanding of how this world worked.

Up until now, Ye Mo could only barely understand the things talisman masters did. The rare beast cores were sometimes used as batteries and those runes were like the circuits on electric boards. Different circuits had different uses. When the electricity runs through a certain circuit with a functional part, it would create all sorts of magnificent effects. From this perspective, a talisman master was a bit like an electrical engineer.

However, it didn’t matter if he didn’t understand — he just needed to know how to use it, just like how those eating rice didn’t need to know how to farm. Those who drove didn’t need to know how to make a car.

Yan Liqiang focused his mind and took a deep breath before starting.

In the storage area on the stand, there were raw metal pieces. This was the most basic material for low-level talisman masters. Yan Liqiang took two blocks of raw metal equal in weight and placed them in them in the crescent metal container. Then, Yan Liqiang took out two equally-weighted black cloud rocks and placed them in the metal container too. Then, Yan Liqiang took out a fire lizard beast core from the pile and stuck it to the bottom of the container before using his spirit eye and that mysterious energy in his sea of consciousness. He touched the rune on the container and a mysterious but powerful natural spirit Qi and energy rustled about in the room towards the container.

The metal block and the black cloud rock started to float. A palm-sized red fire lizard made completely of energy crawled out from the bottom of the container and spun around the floating items. Then, the lizard suddenly expanded and opened its mouth before eating the floating objects. Afterwards, the lizard grew hotter and lit up in fire. Its color slowly went from red to reddish white…

The temperature in the container seemed very high but all the heat energy was trapped inside the container. Yan Liqiang was standing right next to it but couldn’t feel any heat at all — he just quietly waited on the side.

After about ten minutes or so, the flames on the lizard grew smaller. The lizard’s color returned to red. The lizard opened its mouth and spat out the things in its stomach.

The metal and black cloud rock was gone. What came out was red liquid iron…

Then, the lizard turned back to its original form but the red color on him dimmed down. It went back to the bottom of the container and disappeared. Meanwhile, the liquid iron still floated in the container.

Yan Liqiang’s eyes stared intently at the red liquid and used that energy in his sea of consciousness again. He pointed and the liquid split into four portions. Each portion seemed to be crushed by an invisible hand. It was being pulled and shaped. Eventually, it turned into four arrows.

Another half an hour later, the spirit Qi and energy dissipated while the four arrows cooled down. Then, they fell to the bottom of the container.

The arrow was completely black and was exactly the same size and appearance as the arrow he got from the Shatu person. However, there were just no runes on the arrow.

Yan Liqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and pulled out the four arrows. He looked at each of them carefully before pulling a smile.

“The first step is done. The rest will only take some time. But with my skills, it’s quite hard to make these arrows into that low quality, haha…”
