Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 35 Second-Tier Monster Hide!
Triumph City, Lower Town, North District, Market.

Ronan arrived at the butcher shop.

There were quite a few people visiting the shop, making it noisy and chaotic.

This butcher shop is quite large, three times the size of the shops next door.

Five burly men, each 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall, were busy working in the shop.

Inside the shop, live pigs, cattle, and sheep, skinned and gutted, were hung on iron hooks.

“I’m looking for your boss, Tashan Hand.”

Ronan stepped forward and said to a burly man:

"It was Paul Wilson who introduced me here."

"It's that kid."

boom!
The burly man chopped pork on the cutting board while talking to Ronan.

With one slash, bits of meat flew everywhere.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to find the boss."

The burly man said something, then chopped the pork cleaver into the cutting board.

He wiped the grease off his hands with his apron and walked into the shop.

A while later, he came back.

"Come inside, the boss is in the backyard."

Ronan then entered the shop, passing racks of raw meat, his nose filled with the pungent smell of meat.

He held his breath and walked to the end of the shop, where he saw only a small door and went inside.

Stepping out of the small gate and through a corridor, you enter a small courtyard.

A two-meter-tall man was lying on a deck chair, basking in the sun.

He had a pipe dangling from his mouth, constantly puffing out smoke.

The burly man looked to be around forty years old, with a face full of fat and a fierce appearance, exuding a menacing aura.

This person, like him, also had black hair and black eyes, and had a Chinese appearance from his previous life.

Her hair was tied back, and her eyebrows, like two large knives, hung above her brow bone.

His eyes were slightly narrowed as he enjoyed the tobacco, and his pupils gleamed.

When Ronan met him, he summoned Hongmeng and analyzed it.

The information flow in my mind showed that this person had a strength of over 60, but low spirit and zero magic power.

Upon seeing Ronan approach, the man sat up from his recliner, his eyes widening as he looked at Ronan:
"Was it Paul who introduced you?"

"Yes."

"Come with me."

Tashan Hand rose from his recliner and stood before Ronan like a small mountain.

Then, he turned and led Ronan to the side.

As he walked, he puffed on his cigarette. "I haven't seen Paul promoting anti-aging products lately. The two bottles he sold to my wife are almost finished. Could you tell Paul to bring a few more?"

“Okay,” Ronan said.

He did not want to reveal his identity as a pharmacist to this person.

He will tell Paul the truth, and whether Paul can deliver it or not is Paul's business.

Before long, Tashan led Ronan to a dark room.

The odor in the room was even stronger than the one I had smelled in the store.

Pieces of slightly processed magical beast materials were placed in the room.

Ronan's gaze swept across the room for a while, using Hongmeng to analyze various magical beast materials.

The quality of these magical beast materials varies, some better than the Emerald Serpent, while others are of poor quality, making it quite difficult to choose.

"what are you looking for?"

Seeing that Ronan had looked at it for a while but hadn't asked about the price, Tashan then spoke up.

"Warcraft hide".

"How big do you want, and how much are you willing to pay?"

Ronan pondered for a moment, then said, "I only intend to offer two thousand seven hundred valant gold coins." Tashan took the cigarette holder out of his mouth and pointed to the layers of animal hides stacked to the side:

"Two thousand seven hundred Valant gold coins can buy the hide of a Tier 1 low-grade magical beast over there called a 'Woodland Bear.' The amount bought can make one hundred and fifty suits of leather armor."

As he spoke, he pointed to a piece of dull gray monster hide:

"You can also buy a piece of monster hide from a second-tier mid-level monster called 'Ironclad Bull'."

"Use it to make leather armor that can cover the chest area and block one spell attack from a formal wizard."

Ronan looked at the iron-clad bull hide and thought that such a piece could be used to draw six talismans.

However, the higher quality of second-tier monster hides results in talismans with significantly greater power.

Drawing six high-quality talismans is equivalent to drawing dozens of low-quality talismans.

In the book on talisman making techniques he obtained, one type of talisman skin required the use of blood-yellow cowhide.

He can use the method of making talisman hides from blood-yellow ox hides to make talisman hides from iron-armored ox hides.

“This is the one,” Ronan said.

Tashan brought over a burlap sack and packed the iron armored ox hide inside.

Ronan then took out a voucher, borrowed a quill pen and ink from Tashan, wrote down the amount, signed his name, stamped the family crest, and imprinted his fingerprint.

With this certificate, Tashan can go to the Lanny Vault in Midtown and withdraw 2,700 Valant coins.

After exchanging money and goods, Ronan picked up the burlap sack and left the butcher shop.

Afterwards, I went to Tom's pharmacy to buy the magical plant materials needed to make the tanning potion, and then went back to the attic.

……

evening.

Ronan sat at the dining table, poured himself a glass of wine, and moistened his throat.

After working for quite some time, the tanned cowhide was finally finished and hung up to dry.

Three days later, the animal hide was air-dried.

Ronan used his elven dagger to cut the armored bull hide into rectangular talisman pieces.

After the talisman paper is cut, the ink is prepared in preparation for drawing the talisman.

He planned to use all six talisman papers to draw flying sword talismans.

After all, he already possessed tens of thousands of protective and lightness-enhancing talismans, ranging from beginner to master level.

He had enough of both types of talismans.

What he lacks now is long-range attack methods.

If we use these six second-tier magical beast skins to draw flying sword talismans.

These six flying sword talismans are his trump card.

Ronan picked up a wolf-hair brush, dipped it in talisman ink made of cinnabar mixed with chicken blood, and channeled his magic power to connect with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Instantly, the Geng metal energy from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged towards the tip of the brush, and as he wrote, it was injected into the talisman paper.

The reason why high-quality talisman paper produces higher-quality talismans is that it can hold more spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

With the second-tier magical beast skin, Ronan was able to channel more mana, and he also extended the time his brush stayed on the talisman paper to ensure that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was fully infused into the talisman skin.

About half an hour later, the six flying sword talismans were drawn.

The armored bull's hide belongs to the metal element in the Five Elements theory, and is compatible with the metal element of Geng.

More of the Geng metal energy was able to condense within the talisman.

The power of these six talismans was much greater than Ronan had originally anticipated.

Ronan wanted to try the talismans, but he held back because he thought they were very precious.

After storing the six talismans in his storage ring, he went to bed, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique to restore his spirit and magical power.

—When drawing a talisman, a great deal of mental and magical energy is consumed; when using the talisman, the consumption of mental and magical energy is much less.

Ronan faced upwards with his palms facing the sky, breathing slowly.

The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges upon it.

Thanks to the feedback from the natal longevity tree sapling, both his spirit and magical power recovered quite quickly.

His own cultivation level was also gradually increasing.
