"The spiritual material is the same as last time. As for the talisman paper... I want to buy some green frost paper." Shen Luo looked back and said.

"Speaking of it, Mr. Shen is kind to us. The spiritual materials such as floating shadow jade and golden scallops are all right to give to Mr. Shen without charging a penny, but this green frost paper... needs to be purchased with immortal jade, but it is not ours. It can be a private gift from the master." Hearing this, shopkeeper Ma said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Whatever the treasurer of the horse said, regardless of the spiritual material or the talisman paper, it can be calculated according to the original price." After finishing speaking, Shen Luo stood up and took out a gold ingot and the immortal jade, and placed them on the counter.

Shopkeeper Ma didn't mind seeing the gold ingot, but his eyes lit up when he saw the fairy jade.

"What the shopkeeper said last time, one piece of immortal jade can buy ten pieces of green frost talisman paper, right?" Shen Luo asked.

"Ten pieces? That's the price for others. Since Mr. Shen can get immortal jade, we can sell you twelve pieces." Shopkeeper Ma said immediately.

"Then thank you, Shopkeeper Ma." Shen Luo was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Put away this gold ingot, Mr. Shen. Floating Shadow Jade and other things are considered as additions to the talisman paper, and we will give it to you at the discretion." The shopkeeper Ma waved his hand and said proudly.

After that, without waiting for Shen Luo to speak, he turned around and went to the Baibao grid, took out the talisman paper and spiritual materials, and sent them to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out the piece of gold leaf engraved with runes from his sleeve, and placed it on the counter.

"The shopkeeper is well-informed, can you help me hold the eye and see what this thing is?" Shen Luo asked.

"No problem, let's see." Shopkeeper Ma said with a smile.

While speaking, he had already stretched out his hand, but when he was about to pick up the gold leaf, his movements froze suddenly.

"This is..." Shopkeeper Ma hesitated with a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Shen Luo asked.

Shopkeeper Ma looked solemn, turned around and went to the inner hall, after washing his hands, he held a piece of clean cloth and carefully picked up the piece of gold leaf.

He moved his eyes closer, carefully checked the runes on the gold foil from top to bottom, then turned over and carefully checked the back of the gold foil, his face became a little excited.

"That's right, this pattern, this texture, that's right, it must be..." The horse shopkeeper murmured with trembling hands.

"Horse shopkeeper, can you tell me what this thing is first?" Shen Luo looked at it from the side with a puzzled expression, but he also knew that the gold leaf was probably not a vulgar thing.

"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry. I was too excited to see this soul-suppressing golden wat suddenly, and I lost my composure." The shopkeeper Ma said after recovering slightly.

"Soul-suppressing golden wat?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"Wat board is a special object used by Taoist practitioners to perform Taoist ceremonies when they practice Luotian Dajiao or Daochang rituals. Some prayers and sacrifices are often recorded on it, which is used to express heaven. Listen. Because of different functions, there are different types. This kind of soul-suppressing golden wat is very special. It is made of special gold essence, and runes are carved by masters who have attained the Tao. It is specially used to suppress evil spirits and resentful souls. .” The shopkeeper Ma explained.

Hearing this, Shen Luo remembered that when he found the golden wat, it was hanging on the body bag, and now it seems that it was probably used to suppress the dead soul of the corpse.

"It turns out that this thing has such a history, but I don't know if your store will accept it?" Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"Mr. Shen, do you want to sell this item?" Shopkeeper Ma was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked.

"Whether to sell or not... depends on how much it's worth?" Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, then said.

"To be honest, Lubaotang has received a lot of things over the years, but this is the first time I have seen this soul-suppressing golden wat. Mr. Shen is kind to us, so I can't fool you with nonsense, you golden wat The appearance of the wat is very good, and the runes engraved on it seem to be unusual, which are different from the usual soul-suppressing runes. But I can't tell what it is exactly." The shopkeeper Ma said solemnly.

"Frankly, the shopkeeper, how much are you willing to pay for this golden wat?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.

After listening to the horse shopkeeper, he took up the golden wat and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, the expression on his face became more and more entangled.

"Mr. Shen, I really can't confirm the value of this golden wat for the time being. What do you think? Let's mortgage it here with thirty immortal jades, and then send a letter to the real boss of the Lubaotang to let him come Determine the value. If it is less, I will persuade the boss to make up for it later. If it is too much, it will be regarded as repaying the kindness of the young master." The shopkeeper Ma thought for a moment, and then said.

"Thirty Immortal Jade?" Shen Luo couldn't believe his ears when he heard this.

He can only receive one immortal jade every three months in the Bai family, or is it the treatment that other last-class guests do not have at all, this piece of gold foil picked up empty-handed can be exchanged for thirty immortal jades?

"As shopkeeper Ma said, it's changed!" Shen Luo said immediately without hesitation.

For him, this soul-suppressing golden wat is useless at least for now. He has already memorized the runes on it, so it is indeed the best choice to replace it with real immortal jade.

"Young Master Shen is really a cheerful person!" Shopkeeper Ma also clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Horse shopkeeper, this deal has been finalized, can I ask one more question, why is there anything special about this golden wat, and why is it so valuable?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

"Mr. Shen, to tell you the truth, the reason we are willing to take this bet is because we see something different." Shopkeeper Ma hesitated for a moment, but still said.

"I would like to hear the details." Shen Luo said.

"The soul-suppressing golden wat is actually similar to the soul-suppressing talisman, but it contains stronger spiritual power and lasts longer. However, it is a consumable thing after all. It is not easy to use it for more than ten years. And yours This golden wat can be seen to be quite old at first glance, and the runes on it are still impressive, and it can't be seen that it has been infested by evil spirits at all. So we guess, if it is not made of excellent material, it must be the engraved talisman A person's cultivation base is extremely high, and its meaning is extraordinary." Ma shopkeeper explained.

When Shen Luo heard this, he immediately understood.

Chapter 0228 Windfall

This is equivalent to a calligraphy and painting that has been handed down for hundreds of years. Not only is it well preserved, it is also from the hands of famous masters of the previous generation, so it is naturally invaluable.

Shopkeeper Ma asked Shen Luo to wait a while, and went to the inner hall to prepare immortal jade.

"Horse shopkeeper, don't worry yet." Shen Luo hesitated for a while, and stopped him.

"Mr. Shen..." Shopkeeper Ma thought that Shen Luo was about to repent, and suddenly became a little nervous.

"There's no rush to get the fairy jade. I want to buy something more. Let's convert it and get it later." Shen Luo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Ma relaxed and asked him what else he needed with a smile.

Shen Luo recalled silently for a moment in his heart, and then began to report the names of spiritual materials one by one: "Qingluan wood, crimson pearl fairy dew, bollworm gold powder, iron bone holly..."

Shopkeeper Ma frowned slightly when he heard the first name he reported, but the more he listened to the back, his expression became more serious. After listening to Shen Luo's more than a dozen names in one breath, People were already in place.

These things are all used to make high-level talismans such as armor-breaking talismans, flying talismans, and orthodox lightning-falling talismans, each of which is a precious high-level spiritual material.

"Shopkeeper Ma, I don't want all these things, I just want to ask you, what do you have in the shop?" Seeing his expression, Shen Luo hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Shen, you really surprised me. We don't even have half of the things you said, and there are even a lot of them. We haven't even heard of them." Shopkeeper Ma swallowed. , said.

"What are there?" Shen Luo asked hastily.

"Green luan wood, iron bone holly and bollworm gold powder are all available, but there are not many stocks of piercing thorn and crimson pearl fairy dew, and the rest are gone." The shopkeeper Ma thought for a while and replied.

Among them, except for the piercing thorn which is used to make armor-piercing talismans, the other four are all used to make flying talismans. Among them, green luan wood and iron bone holly are the main materials, and the other two are auxiliary materials.

Shen Luo was secretly delighted, and hurriedly asked about the prices of these spiritual materials.

"Green luan wood is the most precious, two pieces will cost one fairy jade. Iron bone holly will cost one fairy jade, as for the bollworm gold powder and crimson bead fairy dew, each will have a fairy jade and a bottle." Ma shopkeeper said .

"Can you take a look at it?" Shen Luo asked, looking around the Baibaoge.

"It's not on the Baibaoge, Mr. Shen is here for a while, I'll go get it right away." After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and entered the inner hall.

After waiting for a while, he came out holding a tray with a few things on it.

Shen Luo glanced at it, and saw a pair of two-foot-long cyan wood on the far left above, but the thickness of the arms was thin, and it seemed to be shrouded in aura, with a thin layer of brilliance, which was not condensed. scattered.

On the right side of the wood, there are ten blue-black tree branches covered with small and oval leaves, glowing with blue-black light, as if they were made of refined iron.

Going to the side, there are two white porcelain vases, one green and one white, about two inches long.

"Besides that, I need to buy ten pieces of purple cloud talisman paper and fifty pieces of green frost talisman paper. Also, is there a talisman refining furnace here?" Shen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"There are some, but the rank is not high, and they can only be regarded as ordinary craftsmen, which cannot reach the level of magic weapons. If Mr. Shen wants to use them to refine talisman ink, it is best to use a few burning talismans Use it together, the effect will be even better." Shopkeeper Ma said repeatedly with his brows and eyes stretched.

"What is the price of the fire talisman?" Shen Luo asked.

"Although this is an attack-type talisman, its power is limited and the price is not expensive. You can buy it for 50 taels of silver. I wonder how many pieces you need?" the shopkeeper Ma asked.

"Let's buy ten first." Shen Luo thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll prepare the goods for you right now." The business made by the shopkeeper Ma is not small, and he is extremely happy at the moment.

After everything was ready, Shen Luo took a little inventory, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and asked:

"How come there are as many as 72 pieces of Qingshuang talisman paper?"

"The Qingshuang talisman paper is calculated based on twelve pieces of immortal jade. Adding the previous one, a total of six pieces are collected, so there are 72 pieces. The purple cloud talisman paper cannot be discounted. There are ten immortal jade, green luan wood and other spiritual materials in total. There are a total of four immortal jades, and a total of twenty immortal jades. As for the rest, they are converted into a total of 800 taels of silver." The shopkeeper Ma explained.

"Then I would like to thank shopkeeper Ma." Shen Luo hurriedly cupped his fists in thanks.

Shopkeeper Ma packed these things up and put them in an exquisite wooden box, and then took ten pieces of fairy jade, put them in a kit, and handed them to Shen Luo.

After Shen Luo collected it, he paid the money and left.

Not long after he left, a beautiful young girl came out from the inner hall, it was Ma Xiuxiu.

However, the moment shopkeeper Ma saw his "daughter", his expression suddenly became respectful.

The girl pinched the "soul-suppressing golden wat" with two green fingers, and looked at it carefully, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her bright eyes.

"Mr. Ma, you really underestimated the value of this thing. Give him ten more immortal jades next time." The girl said, her tone was quite mature, and she didn't have half of her previous cowardly appearance?

"Young Master, there are quite a lot of Thirty Immortal Jade. Could it be that the old slave has misjudged this thing, and this thing is not the Soul-Suppressing Golden Watt?" The shopkeeper Ma asked slightly surprised after changing his previous address.

"You read the thing right, but you underestimated the rank. The soul-suppressing rune on it is of a very high rank. It can reassure the soul, eliminate karma, and even overcome the thousand-year-old ghost and return to the underworld. It's a pity that the quality is not good. It’s complete, but there’s none of the aura inside.” The girl said slightly regretfully.

"This person is able to take out such a valuable thing, does he have a good status?" The shopkeeper Ma pondered.

"Looking at his aptitude and appearance, he doesn't look like a disciple of the Immortal Sect with an orderly inheritance. He probably has some kind of adventure. You have seen the things he bought just now. They are all needed for refining high-level talismans. .Have you ever thought about how he came into contact with these as a mere guest minister of the White House?" the girl said in a deep thought.

"This..." Shopkeeper Ma was at a loss for words when he heard the words.

"Today's matter was just a whim on my mind. I just thought it was a little fun. You don't have to pay too much attention to it. Instead of maintaining the current relationship, if he can really come to us with high-level talismans for sale in the future, then we can make friends with him." It's too late." The girl smiled and said casually.

"Yes." Shopkeeper Ma replied immediately.

After Shen Luo returned to his room in Baifu, he couldn't wait to study the talisman.

Of the five high-level talismans learned in Fangcun Mountain, only the Thunderbolt Talisman and the Flying Talisman can be found as materials for the time being, and you can try to draw them. Of course, the Thunderbolt Talisman is only an alternative material.

At the beginning, he was not in a hurry to experiment with the newly bought talisman paper. Instead, he used ordinary yellow talisman paper for practice, and continued to practice the writing of the two runes repeatedly, trying to get familiar with the operation of the brushwork.

Somewhat similar to the practice of exercises, he has a successful experience in drawing talismans in his dreams, so he is very clear about some key points of drawing in his heart, but it is difficult to achieve the unity of heart, eyes and hands.

Chapter 0229 Bad Reputation

After a lot of practice, his brushwork skills became more and more proficient. He has already done a good job in mind-eye and hand-eye coordination.

In the next two months, Shen Luo would practice drawing [-] or [-] lightning falling talismans and flying talismans every day, in addition to his unshakable meditation practice.

It's not that he is lazy and refuses to practice more, but that every time he draws so many talismans, his mana and spiritual power will be exhausted, and he even fainted a few times.

Until one time, he drew a flying talisman with cinnabar, and just as the rune was formed, a blue light lit up on the talisman paper, but it only flickered for a moment, and then burst into flames.

Seeing this, Shen Luo was overjoyed, knowing that this was the success of the rune, and it was a manifestation of the connection between spirit and spirit on the rune.

It was only because the talisman paper and talisman ink were unqualified and could not bear the aura contained in the high-level talisman at all, so it spontaneously ignited.

Therefore, Shen Luo started to refine the talisman ink, intending to formally draw these two kinds of talismans.

After finally waiting for the thunderstorm, even though he had made sufficient preparations, when he actually started refining, he still suffered a lot.

On weekdays, he has drawn more thunderbolts, and relatively speaking, he has more experience, but this first attempt made him feel very frustrated. After using 38 pieces of blue frost paper in a row, he did not draw any more talismans before the rain passed and the sky cleared. , barely made a picture.

For the next half month, he didn't dare to stop, and continued to practice drawing talismans with the yellow talisman paper, so that he could maintain the feeling of drawing talismans.

After finally waiting for the next thunderstorm, he drew another 21 pictures in a row, but in the end there was only one picture.

Of the remaining thirteen sheets of blue frost paper, Shen Luo used twelve of them to continue drawing the Thunderbolt Talisman, but all of them failed, and only the last one was left to try to draw the Flying Talisman.

Although the sinking talisman paper did not use purple cloud paper, the talisman ink used was the exclusive talisman ink for drawing flying talismans.

Originally, Shen Luo didn't have much expectation for this experiment, but wanted to experience the feeling of being a symbol more closely before drawing on purple cloud paper.

However, unexpectedly, when he tried this time, his hand felt very good, and the rune was drawn in one go, and he successfully drew it directly.

It's a pity that before he could be happy for a moment, white smoke rose from the center of the talisman paper and burned directly.

"Using green frost paper really doesn't work..."

Shen Luo didn't care about the pity, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, fetched the purple cloud talisman paper, tapped the talisman ink, and continued to draw the flying talisman.

It's just that after picking up the pen, the feeling he had before was gone. He drew three pieces of talisman paper in a row, but none of them made a talisman, which made him very regretful. A real flying talisman.

But it was useless to regret, so Shen Luo simply stopped.

After a few days of delay, he tried to draw talismans again, but he used up all the remaining purple cloud talisman papers, but still got nothing, which made him depressed for a while.

During this period of time, Shen Luo received two ghost exorcism missions from the Bai family, only to realize that they were all small matters of evil spirit infection and evil spirit collision. It was easy to deal with, but the rewards were not High, only some silver taels.

It doesn't matter to Shen Luo, he knows that he can't be in a hurry about the realm of cultivation, he just wants to climb up gradually, and never thinks about competing for the first, but this kind of "indisputable" attitude falls on some other guests in the White House, especially In the eyes of Ke Qing, who is slightly stronger than him, he has become a model of not thinking about making progress and dawdling in life.

Some eccentric brothers in the Bai House also criticized him a lot, thinking that he was using Bai Xiaotian's name to stay at the Bai House.

Shen Luo knew this well and didn't care too much about it.

To his surprise, once he bumped into Bai Xiaoyun arguing with his younger brother, and praised him for his strength, how could someone who could call his elder brother Bai Xiaotian a brother and brother be a waste?

However, in the eyes of everyone, Bai Xiaoyun is an ignorant dude. Others will listen to what he says, but few people will really care.
