A devil's self-redemption

"There are many talkative people in the family, and I don't want them to know anything about me." Luo Lai walked in the dirty alley with an expressionless face.

"Why hide it? The higher the talent you show, the more resources your family will invest in you, right?" Dafu was puzzled.

Luo Lai told Dafu about the attitude of demons towards half-demons and the fate of half-demons as adults. Dafu also felt that things were a bit tricky.

"Boy, although I am very optimistic about you, it seems that none of the races that are enemies of humans have had a good ending since ancient times." Dafu was pessimistic about the fate of the demons.

"I want to understand as soon as possible how the demons were born and why they are enemies of the human race. These shouldn't be too secretive. It won't be too difficult to understand." Luo Lai analyzed calmly.

Dafu stopped talking, and Luo Lai concentrated on looking for what he wanted.

It took him half a day to walk through all the alleys, and he had a few more volumes in his hands.

One is "The Great Demon Clan" which introduces the origin and development of the Demon Clan, and the other is "Supplement to the Encyclopedia of Everything in the Demon World".

"Boy, stop for a moment." Dafu said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Although Luo Lai was confused, he still stopped obediently.

"Buy the sixth item in the second row of the stall on your right." Dafu's tone was a little urgent.

Luo Lai followed Dafu's instructions and saw a yellowed book, but his eyes did not stay on it. Instead, he looked at other items on the stall.

When the stall owner saw someone stopping to watch, he greeted with a smile: "Which one do you like, little brother?"

"Just take a look." Lao Lai picked up the bottle closest to him, looked at it and put it down, then picked up a gourd and asked, "Boss, how much does this cost?"

"My little brother has a good eye, and he can spot the most valuable treasure in this stall at a glance. This is a treasure used by a demon lord. Although it has been damaged, it depends on my little brother's ability whether it can be repaired. Today we are destined to be together. Receive three thousand magic crystals from my little brother." The stall owner praised the gourd and then reported a number.

"Boss, you must keep this treasure well. Where is the Demon King's treasure here? This is a unique treasure that can only be used by the Demon King." Luo Lai said teasingly.

The stall owner sneered: "Haha, little brother is joking."

Putting down the gourd, Luo Lai picked up the book Dafu mentioned and found that there was nothing strange in it.

"Boss, how much does this cost? Hey! If you offer me another few hundred or thousands of magic crystals, I'll turn around and leave." Seeing that the stall owner was about to talk nonsense again, Luo Lai hurriedly interrupted.

"Hey, how could that be?" The stall owner said without any embarrassment, "Twenty magic crystals."

Luo Lai didn't bargain and bought it after paying the money.

"Boss, where did you get this?"

"Is this..." The stall owner groped his chin and looked at Luo Lai thoughtfully.

Luo Lai understood and took out fifty crystal stones and threw them to him. The stall owner smiled happily and said, "Hey, I collected this from a young man a few days ago, but I haven't seen him in the past few days."

"Does he have any characteristics?" Luo Lai asked.

"I didn't pay attention." The stall owner replied after thinking for a moment.

……

"Dafu, I think this book is very ordinary." Luo Lai did not doubt Dafu's vision, but he really couldn't see anything strange about this book.

"Hey, this book has quite a secret. I'll tell you after I get home." Dafu said mysteriously.

Now Luo Lai lost interest in Taobao and hurried home. There was no one else in the yard at this time. His sister had not been back for several days, so he asked Luo when he had time.

Luo Qu should be going to the family martial arts field for training now.

Go back to the room, take out the ordinary book, and call Dafu in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Dafu, stop being so secretive and tell me quickly."

Dafu chuckled: "Put this book in a brazier and burn it and see the result."

Luo Lai did as he was told, and then... the book turned into a pot of ashes.

"Hey, Dafu, what's going on? I spent twenty magic crystals just to light a fire?" Luo Lai yelled angrily.

"Oh, children are impatient. Look clearly, there is something inside the ashes." Dafu's tone was very relaxed.

Luo Lai turned over the ashes in the brazier, felt the presence of the foreign object, and quickly took it out.

When I took it out, I saw that it was just a piece of paper the size of a palm, with a few words written on it. If I looked carefully, I saw that it was written in Ancestral script.

"Golden cicada..."

"Shut up! Stop reading! Ahhhh!" Dafu yelled crazily to stop Luo Lai just as he spoke.

Luo Lai also broke into a cold sweat and almost finished reading!

"I tell you, if you see words like this in the future, don't read it. If you hear it, don't read it!" Dafu was so frightened that he jumped up from the black stone, dancing and shouting!

"I was wrong, I was wrong! I will never read it out in the future." Luo Lai accepted the criticism humbly and promised not to do the same again, and only then was he forgiven by Dafu.

His eyes fell on the piece of paper again. The five words on it, "Golden Cicada Escapes Its Shell Formation," were all the words on the piece of paper.

"What is this?" Luo Lai looked at the piece of paper in his hand repeatedly. The material looked like gold but not gold, or jade but not jade.

"This is a formation talisman, which is a formation that is forcibly condensed on a piece of paper. It was invented by a nerd. There used to be a Wuji formation sect that offended the nerd, and then he came up with this. It was simple and convenient, and he started selling it. The Wuji Formation Sect was so disbanded that it couldn't survive anymore," Dafu said with a proud look on his face.

"That's nonsense! A good sect disbanded so hastily?" Luo Lai didn't believe Dafu's words.

Seeing that Luo Lai didn't believe it, Dafu said anxiously: "When did I tell a lie? There was an earth-shattering competition between the nerd and that Wuji Formation Sect. At that time, all the famous sects and masters witnessed the whole process. That Wuji competition The Formation Sect was completely defeated, and was completely pushed to the ground by the nerds, no matter it was the killing formation or the defensive formation. So since then, the reputation of the Wuji Formation Sect has plummeted, and no sect has come to them for cooperation, and it didn't take long for them to cooperate. Disbanded.”

After hearing what he said, Luo Lai was a little convinced. This seemed like the style of modern people. If you offend me, I will dig up your family's ancestral graves. The routine of modern Internet literature is absolutely correct.

"What is the function of that talisman?" Luo Lai raised the talisman in his hand.

"Translate those words, don't say the last word." Dafu specially reminded Luo Lai.

"Uh, okay, these words mean to take off the surgery and escape in time." Luo Lai translated to him the meaning of "Jin Chan escapes from the shell".

Dafu then said: "I understand, this is the talisman invented by nerds to escape."

"Then what is the principle of this talisman?"

"It's the Ancestral Inscriptions. Just draw the Ancestral Inscriptions on talisman paper made of special materials. The nerd said that it's very simple as long as you learn the Ancestral Inscriptions. He once made more than a thousand talismans in one day."

"So simple?"

"It is only simple for those who have learned the ancestral script. The Wuji Formation Sect once studied this kind of talisman. They spent endless manpower and material resources and emptied their homes. They wanted to copy this kind of talisman, and the result was naturally It ended in failure, which is probably one of the reasons why the Wuji Formation Sect was disbanded!"

Dafu explained clearly to Luo Lai, but Luo Lai was a little confused: "Can't they admit their mistake to the nerdy senior and turn their hostility into friendship?"

"What the hell are you thinking! That's one of the top ten sects, how could they admit their mistakes like a casual cultivator? Don't they want to lose face? Not only did they not admit their mistakes, they also sent people to arrest the nerd, trying to force him to submit, but the nerd practiced The speed was beyond expectations. Not only were they not caught, but many of them were killed. The nerds guessed that it was probably because they were afraid of his revenge that the Wuji Formation Sect quickly disbanded to preserve its strength. Later, there were people who surrounded and killed the two of us. People from the Wuji Formation Sect!" At the end of the sentence, Dafu gritted his teeth.

Ignoring his emotions, Luo Lai realized that maybe he could also make such a talisman.

"All you really need to do is understand the meaning of the ancestral script and draw it on some special materials? Then can I also draw the formation talisman?" Luo Lai asked with excited eyes.

"That's the theory." Dafu nodded and said.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Luo Lai almost jumped up with excitement and immediately turned around and walked towards the material store.

After a while, he found a store called Yibao Pavilion. It was the largest comprehensive store in the entire Demonic Domain. It not only buys and sells materials and treasures, but also holds auctions from time to time. As long as you have money, most of the things can be bought here. Even if it doesn't have it now, it will get it from other branches as quickly as possible. Therefore, this Yibao Pavilion has constant business every day and has an excellent reputation.

As soon as I entered the Yibao Pavilion, a servant came up and asked, "Is your guest buying something or selling something?"

Hearing his question, Luo Lai thought that he was here anyway, so he got rid of the poisonous weeds that were no longer needed.

So he said: "I will sell some medicinal herbs first."

"Distinguished guest, please come with me. I will take you to the appraiser of spiritual herbs and elixirs in my exotic treasure pavilion." The young man respectfully brought Luo Lai to the door of a room, knocked on the door and said, "Elder Wei, someone wants to sell spirits. Damn, I’ve invited you over.”

"Come in." A confident voice sounded from inside.

The boy opened the door, let Luo Lai into the room, then closed the door and left. Elder Wei in the room saw a half-demon coming in, his expression changed, and there was imperceptible contempt in his eyes, but he went out for professional needs. Still asking: "What kind of herbs does your distinguished guest want to sell? Take them out and let me take a look."

Luo Lai saw his expression and didn't care. He placed more than twenty poisonous weeds on the table in front of Elder Wei.

"These need to be sold. Elder Wei, please take a look at them." Luo Lai did not use honorifics and was not polite to him.

Elder Wei looked surprised. Although the half-demon in front of him was young, he had quite a temper. What he didn't expect was that the spiritual herbs placed on the table were all highly poisonous.

"These herbs, our guest, are a bit special. Please allow me to take a closer look." Elder Wei stood up, leaned down, and watched carefully.

Luo Lai didn't say anything, just watched him quietly as he appraised the spiritual herbs.

After a while, Luo Lai became a little impatient. Elder Wei straightened up and said: "These herbs are highly poisonous. Their quality is not bad, but their value is lower."

"You tell me the number, and I think it's okay and I'll sell it." Luo Lai said very simply.

Elder Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Twenty thousand magic crystals."

"make a deal."

Without any hesitation, Luo Lai agreed. The base price in his mind was 16,000 magic crystals. Since it exceeded his expectations, of course he had to sell it quickly.

Elder Wei thought the half-demon would bargain, but he didn't expect the deal to be concluded so easily.

He just smiled knowingly, stopped talking, and pressed the small bell on his hand. After a while, a boy came in and led Luo Lai to complete the transaction.

After I got the magic crystal, I bought some materials for making talismans and monster furs and left the Yibao Pavilion.

"The old man tricked you. There are two extremely special herbs here. He recognized them, but he still paid the price of ordinary herbs." Dafu couldn't wait to shout as soon as he walked out of the Yibao Pavilion.

"Then why didn't you remind me then?" Luo Lai asked softly.

"There is an old monster here with terrifying strength. From time to time, he uses his spiritual consciousness to scan the entire exotic treasure pavilion. I don't dare to show up." Dafu was a little angry.

Luo Lai didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "There must be many treasures in the Strange Treasure Pavilion. How could there not be an expert in charge? Since those two herbs are special, you should have told me in advance. Since none of us raised any objections, the buyer must be willing to make a profit." This one is cheap, but Elder Wei is still a bit unkind and bullying in his business dealings. Find another store in the future!"

One person and one tree returned home chatting. Before entering, Luo Lai was still thinking, what if he really can't see Mireya? Anol also said that Cadilante has a spirit bag and may have brought back the spiritual stone.

Luo Lai stopped thinking and started preparing to make the formation talisman for the first time.

According to Daifuku, all you need to do is fully understand the meaning of the ancestral script and write it on special materials.

For him, the only difficulty is the materials. He doesn't know what materials will be useful.

Several of the materials Dafu mentioned were too high-end. With his current strength, it was impossible to obtain them. This time he bought more than ten kinds from Yibao Pavilion, so he had to resort to stupid methods and try them one by one.

He first tried the skin of a monster animal called the Greedy Rat. The Greedy Rat is a first-level monster with a greedy temperament and is easy to catch, so this kind of animal skin is very common.

Luo Lai used an ordinary brush and ordinary ink to draw on the skin of a first-level monster beast. This was the cheapest cost.

What he wrote was the Golden Cicada Escape Talisman. When he finished writing the last formation word, the animal skin showed no reaction, which meant that the talisman making failed this time.

If successful, there will be a layer of light floating on the surface of this animal skin, which will disappear after a moment.

Luo Lai changed another piece of monster skin, used his spiritual power on the tip of his pen, and drew the ancestral text again, but there was still no response.

He tried again and again and failed again and again, until the ninth time, this time he used a second-level monster skin called three-color rhinoceros. This skin alone cost him a thousand magic crystals. The highest grade of all the hides he bought.

When he finished painting the last stroke, a faint layer of fluorescence floated on the animal skin.

Seeing such a scene, Luo Lai was overjoyed. He didn't expect the production to be successful so quickly. He originally thought it would take a long time to succeed, but more than an hour had passed.

Dafu said disdainfully: "You are stupid enough. It took you so long to make the lowest level magic talisman. It is a second-level monster skin. It is outrageous that you have been downgraded."
