The Monk

Chapter 33 Buying Talisman

"Who knows what to do? He is a master in the Dan Formation stage. Please pray that you don't run into him after leaving the grassland." Wang Miao had no choice. Zhang was afraid of getting lucky: "It shouldn't be that serious. He was laughing with me just now."

"I hope, otherwise, don't participate in the auction. This place is not far from Tianlei Mountain. You should go back to the mountain quickly. It's important to save your life!" This is a no-brainer, but as soon as the words are spoken, he knows that it will not work. The master of the pill formation stage thought It is too easy to track the foundation-building disciples. If you leave the grassland, your life will be dead in less than half an hour. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Forget it, you stay in the grassland. When the auction is over, I will ask dad By taking you back to Xianyun Valley, he should give Xianyun Valley some face, so he can’t act rashly.”

As they were talking, Wang Ying, the king's grandson, and Qi Du were all present. The king intervened: "Uncle, can you agree? Xianyun Valley has never caused trouble in the world, especially if it offends an alchemy master."

Zhang Ai was also thinking about countermeasures. Seeing a few people in trouble, he smiled and said: "In a few days, people from my sect will come. It's okay. You don't have to worry." Wang Miancai frowned: "Yes, yes, I have forgotten you." It’s a disciple of Tianlei Mountain, haha, then it’s okay.”

A few people talked for a while, and Wang Miao and others once again thanked Zhang Ping for the gift of the sword and left. Zhang was left alone in the world and was afraid of offending the old wizard, so he could only pray that his uncle would definitely come.

With money on him, he went to the market early the next morning. He wanted to learn how to refine spells from Wanfa Sect disciples. It’s strange that not long after he entered the market, some people were pointing fingers at him. Many of them were very angry. Zhang was afraid that he didn’t know the reason and couldn’t figure it out. What’s even weirder is that there are some who are hostile and some who are friendly. Someone ran over and asked: "Good morning, senior brother, are there any magic swords for sale?"

Zhang was afraid to realize that it was the disciples of the Weapon Refining Valley who hated him, because he dealt with magic swords cheaply, disrupted market prices, and touched their interests, which would definitely make him dislike him. Smiling bitterly, you may offend someone unintentionally.

The man was still asking: "Brother, please sell me a magic sword at a cheap price. Several brothers have it." Zhang Awei shook his head: "No more." At this time, several more people came over, also asking for swords. Zhang Awei was distressed. Rejected one by one. Someone didn't give up and suggested, "Brother, I'll provide the materials. Can you please help me refine it? I'll give you the crafting fee. How about fifty spirit stones?" Zhang was afraid that he wouldn't do it, so the man still didn't give up: "Six Ten spirit stones, no, seventy spirit stones will do."

Before Zhang Ping could answer, he found that there were more disciples from the Weapon Refining Valley around him, all of whom were looking at him with eager eyes and angrily. A big black man said in a cold voice: "You can sell things, but don't go too far!" His words were full of threats.

Zhang is afraid of being transparent and selling things cheaply. If he does it occasionally, of course no one will interfere, and many people will call you an idiot and a loser. But if you do it in large quantities, it will affect the livelihood of the low-level disciples of the Refining Valley. , of course they were angry, so they smiled and said: "Sorry, I don't sell things, nor do I refine weapons. I'm here to buy things." After saying this, he got out of the crowd and looked for a stall selling charms. After hearing what he said, the disciples who were seeking swords dispersed with disappointment on their faces. The angry expressions of the disciples in the Weapon Refining Valley subsided slightly, and some of them snorted coldly, meaning that you know the truth.

Zhang is afraid that he is not buying charms, but what he wants to buy is the method of making charms. Although the Wanfa Sect established its doors with talismans and was proficient in this method, it does not mean that others cannot do it. The advantage of the three major sects is to summarize the countless experiences of their predecessors, greatly improve the success rate during refining, improve many details, conduct refining experiments with various materials, and even look for substitute items to form a general and comprehensive cultivation method, and to improve He has unique experience in refining high-level items and has huge effects.

In fact, there are people in every sect who study exotic cultivation techniques such as alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, and even formations. The main reason why it is difficult to develop is that it is too expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it. Refining elixirs requires herbs or demon elixirs; refining weapons requires casting materials, demon beast skins and bones, spirit stones, jade and other items; spells require jade, demon beast skins; formations require blood, either your own blood or demon beast blood. Although it can be replaced by cinnabar, the effect is far inferior; none of the above are easy to find, and the higher the level, the harder it is to find. To take a step back, even if the materials are complete, there is still a risk of refining failure. Therefore, except for the three major refining sects in the Yue Kingdom, which are powerful and rely on refining instead of practicing, there are few people who practice refining.

Zhang Ping doesn't care about this, he simply wants to learn more things to save his life! So what I was thinking about was how to impress the disciples of Wanfa Sect and let them teach them the method of refining the talisman. With this thought in mind, I walked around and looked back and forth at the disciples selling charms.

After a while, his attention was focused on a thin young man. The young man was wearing a gray cloth robe. He was short, fair and thin, with an ordinary appearance. There were five low-level spells in front of him. The charm is as thin as paper, slightly smaller than the palm of your hand, yellow in color, and slightly old. Zhang Ain stepped forward, picked up a piece of paper and looked at it. There were several circular patterns on the surface of the paper-thin talisman, which should be the marks of the magic in the talisman. There was a black star mark in the upper right corner.

The young man was very enthusiastic: "Fellow Taoist, are you buying a spell? Take a look. The one you have in your hand is a fire dragon spell. It is carefully refined with the red wolf skin of a demon beast. It is extremely powerful."

Zhang Ain looked at the young man. With his advanced cultivation in the Qi refining stage, could he use the Fire Dragon Technique? Can you catch the red wolf? If I'm not lying, it should be the weak fire snake technique and the red wolf pup skin. Fire Dragon Technique and Fire Snake Technique are originally the same spell, just like water, the big one is called the sea and the small one is called the lake. Zhang was afraid that he would not reveal it, so he asked the price: "How many spiritual stones are you selling for?"

The young man replied: "Eighty spiritual stones."

The price frightened him, and he thought to himself: "Is it more expensive than the fine iron sword I sold?" He didn't know that after the sword-selling incident yesterday afternoon, he had successfully been labeled as the one who was taken advantage of, and he became famous in the market. fame.

Zhang Bin pinched the talisman and probed into his spiritual consciousness. There was enough fire attribute aura. The young man said: "There is no need to check. You can tell by looking at the appearance. Look at these three swirling patterns, which means that the talisman is a fire dragon spell. Look at the black star, which means that the spell is fire dragon." It’s the best of the one-star spells.”

There are seven levels of talismans. After the talisman is refined, convex pattern marks and star marks will automatically appear on the surface of the talisman based on its spell characteristics and power. The more stars there are, the higher the level and the stronger the power. The color of the stars is also the same, from white to black, showing the strength of the magic power. The most common ones are one to three-star charms, and four-star charms occasionally appear. As for five-star and above charms, it is rumored that they have the power of thousands of thunders, and can fill seas and move mountains, but they have never been seen.

After the young man called out the price, Zhang Zhi didn't say anything for a while. The young man stared closely, trying to figure out what he was thinking, but his face was calm and he couldn't tell anything. The young man was worried that the transaction would fail, so he lowered the price and said, "If you find it too expensive, fellow Taoist, I can sell you another five spiritual stones or seventy-five spiritual stones, okay?"

Zhang Ain was thinking about how to get the young man to teach him the magic of refining the talisman. He was still thinking about it. When he heard that the young man lowered the price of the talisman, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Can he bargain without saying a word? Putting down the Fire Dragon spell, he picked up another one, a gray one-star spell. Looking at the mark, he didn't know what spell it was, so he asked casually: "How many spiritual stones does this have?"

"This one is cheaper, the Ten Thousand Arrows Talisman. The level of the monster skin used to make the talisman is lower, and it costs sixty spirit stones." The young man opened his mouth and answered, extremely proficient.

After asking one after another, he looked at all five charms and didn't say which one he would choose. The young man was a little anxious and pursued: "If you really want to buy it, you can get it cheaper."

Zhang Ai shook his head slowly. He didn't want to talk any more and said directly: "I want to learn the magic of talisman refining. If fellow Taoist can tell me, I will buy these talismans."

The young man was a little surprised when he heard this. How could anyone buy something like this? But if the five talismans are sold, I will have money to collect materials and practice them again, and I have some activity in my heart.
