Chapter 1832: Refining new talismans

Registration for the Rejuvenation Pill auction closed quickly.

Nearly a thousand tycoons worldwide signed up, but only two hundred were successfully selected in the end.

After registration closed, Song Wanting began to arrange for the team to start asset verification. If it was a tycoon ranked on Forbes, it would be based on the latest net worth announced by the Forbes list. But if it was a tycoon who did not appear on Forbes, a series of cumbersome and meticulous asset verification processes would be carried out.

As for Ye Chen, he also began to prepare for the auction. The Rejuvenation Pill didn't need preparation, as it was ready-made. What needed preparation was nothing more than the protective talismans he had promised.

Protective talismans are not difficult to make, but the functions of these things are relatively single.

Some can ward off evil, some can change luck, and some can avoid disasters, but there are almost no all-around protective talismans.

Moreover, according to the records of the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra", the efficacy of protective talismans varies greatly depending on the materials used and the ability of the maker.

If it is a beginner who knows a little bit of Qimen Dunjia and talismans, the protective talismans made often have very weak efficacy.

For example, a protective talisman for changing luck. If the level is average, buying a lottery ticket might win five yuan, and with the blessing of the protective talisman, it might win ten yuan at most.

However, if the person making the talisman is very strong, then a lottery ticket that could win two yuan might win five million.

Moreover, the efficacy of this thing is not like stacking data, layer by layer.

To put it more popularly, the prize level span of a lottery ticket is very large, the least is five yuan, then ten yuan, two hundred, three thousand, hundreds of thousands, and even five million.

This kind of protective talisman can make someone who wins five yuan win ten yuan, because its greatest ability is to add five yuan on the original basis, rather than adding a level on the original basis.

If a person's own luck is already very good and can win a prize of 300,000, then even if he wears a protective talisman, it is impossible to win five million, because the gap between them is too large, far exceeding the ability of the protective talisman itself.

Therefore, if such a person wears a low-level protective talisman, it is at most relying on his own luck to win a prize of 300,000. After coming out of the lottery center, he relies on the help of the protective talisman to pick up five yuan at the door of the lottery center.

That's all.

The protective talisman for avoiding disasters is the same principle.

According to the records of the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra", precious jade can indeed, as folk sayings go, block disasters for the owner, so many folk legends say that precious jade will shatter after blocking a disaster for the owner, which is not groundless.

Because jade, when its quality reaches a certain level and it is worn close to the body by the owner for a certain number of years, will naturally become a protective talisman that can block disasters.

However, what kind of disaster such a protective talisman can block also depends on the efficacy of the protective talisman itself.

If the efficacy is low, it might be able to avoid some minor disasters like head injuries after going out, but when encountering a car accident, it might not play any role at all.

But if the efficacy is high enough, theoretically it can save a life at a critical moment.

Ye Chen rarely made protective talismans before, mainly because making protective talismans requires consuming spiritual energy, and at that time his own spiritual energy was insufficient and very difficult to replenish, so he didn't dare to waste too much spiritual energy on protective talismans.

The few times he made protective talismans were because Qin Gang's family had a disaster of bloodshed, and he used the giant clam he snatched from Yu Jinghai at the auction to make a thunder-startling order, a disaster-startling talisman, and a sea spirit bead bracelet that could calm the mind and replenish energy.

He kept that thunder-startling order, gave the disaster-startling talisman to Qin Gang, and gave the sea spirit bead bracelet to his wife, Xiao Churan.

And that giant clam was huge, and there was still quite a bit left, which Ye Chen had been keeping properly.

Now, his spiritual energy was more than a hundred times stronger than before with the help of the Peiyuan Pill, so he just happened to take this opportunity to refine a few protective talismans, as well as talismans that were more useful to him.

Ye Chen first used a part of the giant clam to refine a few medium-level protective talismans for blocking disasters. With the blessing of this kind of protective talisman, ordinary people can at least avoid death.

However, this is limited to ordinary people.

Let alone experts like himself who have spiritual energy, even martial arts people with relatively strong strength like Wan Pojun, this kind of protective talisman is of no use.

A few protective talismans were refined very easily. Ye Chen made ten in one breath, intending to auction two, and send the rest to his wife and friends around him.

After the protective talismans were refined, Ye Chen prepared to refine a more powerful talisman for himself.

Although the previous thunder-startling order could summon heavenly thunder, if he really encountered an expert, it would be difficult to kill the enemy with one blow as before.

Therefore, Ye Chen planned to upgrade the thunder-startling order.

The original thunder-startling order was refined from ten-thousand-year giant clam and lightning-struck wood, but because Ye Chen had less spiritual energy at the beginning, only a relatively simple talisman was added to it.

Now, Ye Chen's spiritual energy was much stronger, and he could completely stack multiple talismans in this thunder-startling order to multiply its efficacy.

Therefore, Ye Chen spent a lot of spiritual energy to stack the thunder-summoning talisman in the thunder-startling order to ten layers, and also added wind-summoning and rain-summoning talismans. After completion, this thunder-startling order could not only summon stronger heavenly thunder but also summon wind and rain.

Moreover, the thunder-startling order with multiple layers of talismans stacked could also be strong or weak as desired, and could be retracted freely when used.

When using it again, Ye Chen could completely stimulate one layer, multiple layers, or all the talismans according to his own needs.

After the new thunder-startling order was made, it had become more compact and transparent, somewhat like ice-type floating flower jade, but it seemed to be more moist than jade, which Ye Chen loved.

However, he also knew very well that this kind of thunder-startling order should not be used indiscriminately, and should not be used with full force unless it was a last resort. Otherwise, if the commotion was too big, he was afraid it would be difficult to end.

Once he thought that as long as the thunder-startling order was stimulated, even if it was just the most basic layer of talisman, it would be a thunderclap on flat ground, so Ye Chen began to think about whether to prepare a silent weapon for himself.

He is not an agent, nor a special forces soldier, doesn't know how to use guns and doesn't like to use guns. In daily fights with others, it's either the thunder-startling order or just fists and feet. Thinking about it, he always feels that he lacks a reliable means of attack.

Ye Chen couldn't help but recall the ninjas he met in Japan. These ninjas were two extremes opposite to him.

He doesn't carry any weapons when he goes out, while Japanese ninjas wish they could even put weapons in their throats.

In addition to useful darts, sleeve arrows, blow darts, shuriken, there are all kinds of long swords and short blades, and even the tips of shoes have to be stuffed with two daggers, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

Among these weapons of theirs, the one Ye Chen is most interested in is the shuriken.

This thing is about the same meaning as the flying knife of Little Li's flying knife. The weapon is small and capable, easy to hide, and can be unexpected when fired.

So Ye Chen followed this line of thought and found a magic weapon very suitable for himself in the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra", the Soul-Piercing Blade.

The Soul-Piercing Blade and the Thunder-Startling Order are both types of magical artifacts.

The Thunder-Startling Order uses spiritual energy to activate the Thunder-Summoning Talismans within it, drawing heavenly thunder down from the sky; the Soul-Piercing Blade, however, uses spiritual energy to activate the Flying Blade Talismans inside it, transforming that spiritual energy into a silent and invisible flying blade.

What Ye Chen values most is this silence and invisibility.

The reason the Thunder-Startling Order isn't used very often is simply because this thing makes too much noise.

For Ye Chen, if he were to refine the Soul-Piercing Blade, and if he were to encounter provocations from the likes of the Four Great War Kings of the Wanlong Palace again, he wouldn't need to kick stones to shatter them at all; he could silently activate the Soul-Piercing Blade in his heart and take their heads from hundreds of meters away!
