Chapter 87 Talisman
Chapter 87 Talisman
Originally, Lin Xuan planned to go back to the post house for dinner, but he was caught by a stall on the road and stopped. In fact, it wasn't just him, there were many people around the stall.
Curious as to what treasure could attract so many cultivators, Lin Xuan walked over.
The stall owner was a simple-minded young man, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Surrounded by so many people, he was obviously a little nervous, his face was flushed from suffocation, and there were various talismans on the stall.
Talisman means that the cultivator seals spells in a specific talisman paper, so that when facing the enemy, it does not need to consume spiritual power, and it can be cast instantly. The benefits are obvious.
For high-level cultivators, talismans are nothing, but for low-level monks, they are very valuable and applicable, especially against enemies. One more talisman can sometimes tilt the balance of victory .
But correspondingly, the production of talismans is very complicated, not only requires specific talisman paper, but also consumes a lot of spiritual power, and the success rate is not high, the more advanced the spell, the more difficult it is to make, so talismans are also rare in the cultivation world Precious things.
Lin Xuan walked around the market for two hours, but he didn't see any talismans for sale. He didn't expect that there were so many in this stall. After a rough count, there were nearly a hundred of them.
No wonder it attracts so many practitioners.
Lin Xuan squeezed to the front, but after seeing the talismans displayed clearly, he was disappointed. The talismans sealed with high-level spells had never thought that they could be bought here, let alone the talismans with intermediate spells. nor.
The talismans sold are all sealed low-level spells, and even among the low-level spells, they are the lowest-level and most entry-level ones, such as ice bomb, fire, quicksand, rolling stone, thorns, etc. , There are many types of spells, but these spells can be easily cast by low-level monks at the first level of the agile stage, so what's the use of buying them?
So even though there were so many people around, none of the monks were willing to buy it. After a long time, a voice finally said in a teasing tone: "Stand owner, how do you sell these talismans?"
The young man's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head. His expression made others anxious: "One low-grade marrow washing pill and two pieces."
"Hmph, this kind of low-level spell can be cast easily, and it's so expensive, it's crazy to think about pills."
The crowd also ridiculed and dispersed one after another. The young man blushed even more, sighed, and began to tidy up the stall. He had been here for two days, but he still didn't buy a single talisman.
It's not that low-level talismans are really useless. In fact, it is still a good choice for self-defense for practitioners with low mana. There are two reasons why it is hard to sell.
First of all, monks in the foundation building period will definitely not buy it, because they don't like this kind of low-level spells at all, so they are naturally unwilling to exchange spar or pills for nothing. Although they can also cast the spells in the talismans, they consume spiritual power after all, and the speed is relatively slow. Of course, they want useful talismans, but the problem is that they are poor, with more energy than energy, so they can't afford it. When it comes to grapes, the grapes are sour.
That is to say, high-ranking monks in the foundation-building stage don't want this kind of low-level talisman, and those in the agile stage can't afford it, or think it's not worth it, so they fall into an embarrassing situation where both ends are not flattering.
This simple and honest young man is actually a low-level disciple of Daofu Mountain. From the name of the sect, one can tell that the monks of this sect are good at making talismans.
These talismans are all made by himself, but they are limited to shallow cultivation, and can only seal some lowest-level spells.
In fact, the young man wanted to sell the talisman cheaper so that he could sell it quickly, but the problem was that making talismans was not an easy task, not to mention that it needed to consume specific talisman papers, precious materials such as monster blood, and The success rate is not high.
These nearly a hundred talismans have already cost him all of his wealth. Two talismans and one pill are really not expensive, the cost price.
But the problem is that this kind of low-level talisman is tasteless and not easy to sell.
The young man came earlier than Lin Xuan, and set up a stall for three days. There were countless practitioners onlookers, but none of them were sold.
I was disheartened, and it was time for lunch again, so I closed the stall.
During the whole process, Lin Xuan didn't make a sound, but he had other plans in his heart. He wanted to buy these talismans for no other reason. Although low-level spells are rubbish, as long as there are enough of them, they can be overwhelmingly powerful. .
For example, if these nearly a hundred low-level talismans are used at the same time, even a master in the early stage of foundation establishment will be in a hurry. Even if they can't hurt the enemy, they can buy enough time for themselves to escape.
Of course, in the world of comprehension, except for Lin Xuan, no one has such a luxury. With the ability to purify, Lin Xuan will not be short of anything, and he will not be short of pills. One pill or two is very simple for him.
However, Lin Xuan didn't buy it right away, because taking out fifty marrow washing pills at once was too attractive, so Lin Xuan would not do such a stupid thing that might lead to disaster.
If you want to buy it, you should also be a little secretive.
With such a plan in mind, although Lin Xuan dispersed with the other monks, he did not go far away, but wandered around carelessly. Of course, his mind was already on the talisman-making booth.
It didn't take long for the honest young man to pack up and prepare to leave the square disheartened. Lin Xuan followed behind calmly.
After leaving the market, the number of cultivators around suddenly decreased. Lin Xuan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He quietly hid behind a big tree, and then he took a picture in his arms, and took out the storage bracelet in his arms. Take out something.
This is a film-like thing with human facial features painted on it, which is lifelike. This is not a treasure in the cultivation world, but a thing commonly used by people in the secular martial arts—a disguise mask.
As the name suggests, after wearing it, you can change the appearance of a person, so as to achieve the purpose of keeping secrets. Although in the world of cultivation, there are more advanced methods, some exercises have the effect of changing appearance, but Lin Xuan can't help it. There is no way to learn the current cultivation base, so he has no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
Lin Xuan bought this mask from Secular World on his way to Lingyunmen. This is his first time traveling far to participate in the gathering of cultivators. Of course, he must be fully prepared, and the facts have proved that Lin Xuan's thoughts are not in vain. This The disguise mask will come in handy soon.
