I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Chapter 115 Improvisation

"Ahem, next time don't display irrelevant information like sexual orientation."

Yuan Feng warned after opening it again.

Then he looked at the scorpion with its tail swinging beside him.

"Show its information."

After he finished speaking, the Book of Wisdom opened automatically.

[Scorpion with tail]

【Level 3 Puppet】

[Weight: 5,888 catties]

[Continuous running speed: 18 miles per hour]

[Explosive speed: 15 meters per second]

[Strength: 10,000 Jin]

Looking at the data displayed in the Book of Wisdom, Yuan Feng nodded.

Its speed is about the same as that of an ordinary horse. In addition to being used for sneak attacks, it can also be used as a mount.

But it is much better than a horse. The puppet does not need to eat grass. When the energy of the demon pill is used up, just replace it with another one.

A third-level demon pill can keep a third-level puppet running continuously for five or six years.

Yuan Feng looked at the wooden box on the scorpion. There was nothing else to see around anyway.

Let the Book of Wisdom show the data of the wooden box.

I took a look at it and unexpectedly gained something unexpected.

[Small World Box (unbound)]

[Space size: 20 meters long, 18 meters wide, 8 meters high]

【Contents not detected】

Nothing was detected inside, it seems that this book of wisdom is not omnipotent.

Yuan Feng was not discouraged by this.

His focus is on the three words "unbound".

"This box can be bound? How do I bind it?"

Normally one would acknowledge the master by dropping blood, but for the sake of caution, he still asked about the Book of Wisdom.

【Blood】

After getting the affirmation from the Book of Wisdom, Yuan Feng bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood on it.

After the blood was absorbed, a wonderful feeling came over me and a connection was established with the wooden box.

After binding, Yuan Feng realized that the shape of this wooden box could be reduced in size.

Shrink the wooden box to be smaller than a fist and easily fit into your pocket.

I felt much more relaxed immediately. Carrying this big box in front of me was still very troublesome even though it was carried by a scorpion.

After obtaining the Book of Wisdom, Yuan Feng no longer had to stay on this level.

Come to the entrance of the fourth floor and walk towards the fourth floor.

On the fourth floor, the space is even smaller, it’s actually just a slightly larger room.

Compared with the previous few floors, it seems much more stingy.

At first glance, Yuan Feng saw Tao Yunwan and the other two.

There were other people around, gathered in twos and threes, discussing something animatedly.

It looks like this is another multi-person test. With so many people, there will naturally be more eyes. It is not easy to get the book on this level.

Compared with others, Yuan Feng only knows the existence of the book and has no other advantages. If he looks for it too blatantly, this advantage will be gone.

So the first thing he did was to meet up with Tao Yunwan and the other two to look for an opportunity.

If there is really no opportunity, don't force it. It would be great to have everything, but you also have to have the destiny to do so.

"What are you waiting for?" Yuan Feng asked the first time he walked over.

"Here~" Tao Yunwan pointed to the rows of tables and chairs next to her, "Wait until everyone is here."

"Everyone? Do we have to wait until everyone is here on this floor?"

"Of course." Lu Qing stepped aside, revealing the wooden sign behind him. "There will be an exam on this floor. The exam will start when everyone is present."

"take an exam?"

Yuan Feng's heart trembled.

He hasn't studied for many years and now he has become a monk, but he still can't help getting nervous when he hears the word "exam".

"What's the test?"

Lu Qing knocked on the wooden sign: "It's written here, the test is about knowledge of talismans."

"Ah?" Yuan Feng was stunned.

He could write the word "Talisman", but he had no clear idea of ​​what it was. Wouldn't he have to hand in a blank paper in this test?

Now he was even more nervous.

Examinations are not scary. What is scary is taking an exam on something you don’t know.

Nu Shi, who was standing by, saw what he was thinking and stepped forward to comfort him, "I don't know talismans either, but it's okay. Brother Lu knows about it. I was just about to ask him to teach me a little bit, and it's just right that you're here, so let's listen together."

"Learning now? Isn't this just cramming?" Yuan Feng was very surprised. The third level wouldn't take up too much time. Everyone would be together soon, so there wouldn't be much time to cram.

"That's better than having no preparation at all." Tao Yunwan advised.

"That's true." Yuan Feng was a man who listened to advice, "Thank you, Brother Lu."

"It's a small matter." Lu Qing waved his hand. "Before I start, let me ask you, how much do you know about talismans?"

"I don't have any understanding at all." Yuan Feng told the truth. At this moment, he had no time to care about his face. It was not advisable to pretend to know something when he did not.

Nu Shi also spread his hands, obviously understanding nothing.

"Don't worry about me. I know a little about talismans. I don't need to listen to simple explanations." Tao Yunwan took the initiative to say.

Lu Qing nodded. He knew that Tao Yunwan was a talented woman, so it was not surprising that she knew about talismans.

"Since you two don't know anything about talismans, I'll start with the basics."

As he spoke, he took out an explosive talisman for demonstration.

"This talisman is divided into talisman paper and rune."

"Talisman paper is a carrier. It needs to be able to carry the power of the rune. There are certain requirements."

"Talisman paper looks like just an ordinary piece of paper, but in fact, it can be made of thousands of materials. Different materials will have different effects on the talisman. Due to the large number of materials and limited time, I will not go into details. If you are interested, you can ask me later."

Yuan Feng and Nu Shi nodded together.

But I have no intention of asking again in the future. It sounds troublesome, so I'd better not study it in detail.

"In addition to different materials, talisman paper can also be mixed with different metals. I will talk about the two most common and most used metals, gold and silver. Mixing gold can make the talisman more powerful, while mixing silver can make the talisman more gentle. The two metals can be adjusted in amount to control the degree of power or gentleness. How to operate it depends on experience."

"Experience is also the most important quality a talisman master needs."

"Next, let's talk about runes. They are the core of the runes' various functions. Different runes have different effects. I don't need to explain this in detail. You should understand it."

Yuan Feng and Nu Shi nodded together.

"There are too many types of runes, so I won't go into detail. Let's take this explosion rune as an example. Look at the characteristics of the font of this rune."

"Features?" Yuan Feng looked at it and only saw the rune font was strong, but no other features. "Strong font?"

"That's right. The softness or strength of the font has a great impact on the effect of the talisman. Just like this explosive talisman, a strong font will detonate faster, while a weak font will detonate slower. There is no advantage or disadvantage in faster or slower. It all depends on the situation."

"Now that you know about talisman paper and runes, let me explain the principles of talismans. In layman's terms, talismans are about leveraging momentum."

"Taking advantage of the situation?"

"That's right." Lu Qing nodded. "No matter how complicated the material of the talisman paper is, or how fancy the runes are, it is still a dead object. If you want to make a dead object exert amazing power, you have to borrow the power of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The method is to use complex runes to imitate the spiritual power trajectory of people or animals casting spells, and then use a little spiritual energy to stimulate it. In this way, you can borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cast a powerful spell."

"Speaking of which, talismans and magic arrays have similar functions."

"That's off topic. Let's get back to the talisman. No matter how much I say, the effect won't be as good as drawing one myself. I'll give you a piece of talisman paper each. Try to draw one based on this explosive talisman."

Yuan Feng and Nu Shi took the talisman papers one after another, eager to try them out.

After Lu Qing handed over the talisman paper, he continued, "I only brought one pen with me when I went out. You can take turns using it. Hurry up, the exam is probably about to start."

With only one pen, there was obviously not enough time to take turns using it. It was the first time for Yuan Feng and the other person to draw, so naturally they couldn't draw fast.

So Yuan Feng took out a pen from his storage bag: "Can I use this?"

Lu Qing looked at it in surprise: "Your writing brush is quite high-end. I didn't expect that you don't know how to write talismans, but you still go out with a talisman pen."

Yuan Feng's pen belongs to Wang Jiashun and is placed in a storage bag. Although it is not used, he is usually too lazy to take it out.

Most of the time I use it as an ordinary brush. It’s a pleasant surprise that it can be used now.
