Chapter 0261 Preparation

"From today, after 28 days, if you wear this mask and go out of the city, you will be able to enter the ghost market when you reach the green pine forest fifty miles west of the city at midnight." Hooking the horse face counted and said.

"After the 28th, at midnight, the green pine forest..." Shen Luo murmured, not quite understanding the meaning of the words, but kept the information firmly in mind.

"There are many kinds of treasures in the ghost market, but most of them are expensive. Take advantage of this month's time to raise more fairy jade, so as not to enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed." Haunting Horse continued.

"Can fairy jade be used in the ghost market?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"Immortal Jade is the common currency of the three realms, it can be used anywhere." Hooking Ma Mian said.

"So that's the case, thank you senior for your guidance." Shen Luo put the mask in his hand on the table, and cupped his hands again and said.

"Prepare well." Hooking Mamian said, and then his figure flickered and disappeared out of thin air.

After Huhun Mamian left, Shen Luo stood on the spot for a while, his face a little cloudy and uncertain.

During this period of time, although he earned some fairy jade from performing tasks, it also cost a lot every time he went out with the soul-hunting horse face. In addition to the loss of drawing the thunderbolt talisman by himself, he now only has more than 30 left on him.

This number is already a considerable amount of wealth for ordinary monks in the bigu period. Even if you are a guest minister in the Bai family, you have to save for three to five years, which is enough to buy a decent magic weapon, but If it is placed in the ghost market, it may not be enough to watch.

While thinking about it, he picked up the grimace mask and looked at it carefully, and vaguely noticed that there was a flow of Yin Qi in it, but it was very obscure.

He tried to inject mana into it, but it was like a mud cow sinking into the sea, and the mask remained motionless.

"Sure enough, there are some tricks. I guess this mask will not be effective until the ghost market opens." Shen Luo secretly said, and put the mask away.

He stepped up to the bedside, took out the stone box from under the bed, and took out all the more than 30 pieces of immortal jade inside.

After a little inventory, I found that it was only 36 yuan, of which 20 yuan was just obtained a few days ago.

After Shen Luo put away the fairy jade, he lowered his head and muttered.

To earn immortal jade in less than a month, the most feasible way right now is to continue to take on the task of exorcising ghosts.

Now that his cultivation has entered the late stage of Qi refining, with the help of the small thunder talisman and the ghost howling ring, and the oblique moon step, his combat power is already considerable. Confidence can handle it.

"Another way is to sell talismans. I have already mastered the little thunder talisman, and the success rate is quite high. The shopkeeper Ma of Lubaotang also said that he is willing to buy the little thunder talisman. It is also a way." Shen Luo thought Turning around, he murmured.

He made plans in his mind, and quickly arranged the plan before the opening of the ghost market. He stopped practicing for the time being, and while accepting tasks, he drew amulets and tried his best to earn immortal jade to prepare for the ghost market.

……

In the early morning of the next day, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and Shen Luo's figure appeared outside the Lubao Hall and walked in.

"I haven't seen Mr. Shen for a while. I came to the door early in the morning, but what do I want to buy?" The shopkeeper immediately greeted Shen Luo warmly when he saw Shen Luo.

"Mr. Shen, please have some tea." Ma Xiuxiu was also in the store, with a slightly shy smile on her face, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Miss Ma, you're being polite." Shen Luo slightly nodded at Ma Xiuxiu, and then turned to shopkeeper Ma.

"A few days ago, shopkeeper Ma once said that the store also bought talismans. What do you think of my talisman?" He didn't beat around the bush, and took out a small thunder talisman and put it on the table.

Shopkeeper Ma was taken aback when he heard Shen Luo's words at first, but he was a man who had been in business for many years, so he immediately recovered, picked up the little thunder talisman and looked at it carefully.

"It's a very good thunder talisman. I heard that Fellow Daoist Shen recently activated a powerful thunder talisman to kill ghosts in Jianye city one after another. Could it be this talisman?" Shopkeeper Ma said with a smile on his lips.

"The manager of the horse is well-informed. Yes, it is this little thunder talisman, which belongs to the low-level talisman." Shen Luo did not hide it, and briefly introduced it.

"Little Thunder Talisman, Little Thunder Talisman..." Shopkeeper Ma's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured.

"The purchase of a talisman generally depends on its power. Can you test the power of this talisman? Don't worry, my lord, no matter whether the shop buys this talisman or not, the used one will be compensated according to the market price." Shopkeeper Ma quickly raised his head. , said.

"Of course." Shen Luo nodded.

"Young master, please follow me. Xiu'er, take care of the shop." Shopkeeper Ma said to Ma Xiuxiu, and walked towards the backyard with Shen Luo.

After a while, the two came back with smiles on their faces.

Seeing the power of the Little Thunder Talisman, shopkeeper Ma immediately agreed to buy it.

Originally, low-level talismans like the Little Thunder Talisman were settled in gold and silver, but at Shen Luo's insistence, the shopkeeper Ma reluctantly agreed to settle in immortal jade. The two bargained in the backyard and decided to exchange fifteen Little Thunder Talismans for one piece The price of Xianyu was purchased.

After the business was settled, Shen Luo didn't stay in the store too long, bought a lot of yellow talisman paper and talisman ink, and quickly said goodbye and left.

"Do you think this price is suitable?" Shopkeeper Ma whispered to Ma Xiuxiu after Shen Luo left.

"Ghosts have frequently occurred in recent years. This little thunder talisman has restraint on ghosts. I think as long as there is a little publicity, most people will find a way to prepare some, and they will not worry about selling them. Besides, you can buy a batch of primordial stones." The expression on Ma Xiuxiu's face changed, she was no longer as shy as before, and her eyes were as bright as a mirror.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements in a moment." Shopkeeper Ma nodded upon hearing this.

"The ghost trouble in Hidden Wind Valley has been calmed down by this sinking. It seems that this person is indeed extraordinary. In the future, keep in touch with him more. Don't be stingy with money and win him over as much as possible." Ma Xiuxiu paused for a moment before continuing.

Shopkeeper Ma hurriedly agreed.

At this moment, a guest came in, and Ma Xiuxiu's face changed into that of a delicate girl again, and she greeted her.

……

Shen Luo left Lubao Hall and soon came to the gate of Baifu.

"sink!"

"It's really him!"

"Have you heard that a few days ago, Shen Luo teamed up with another great power in the soul condensing stage to help the Patriarch and the others destroy the ghosts entrenched there in the Tibetan Wind Valley."

"Because of this task, our Bai family has firmly surpassed the Lin and Du families. Even if they join forces, they will not be our opponents!"

"Really happy!"

Seeing Shen Luo's appearance, the surrounding guests of the Bai family discussed a lot, and their gazes were full of awe without the slightest contempt.

Seeing this scene, Shen Luo frowned, and then relaxed.

He once again deeply realized the difference between the world of cultivating immortals and the ordinary world. All morality and human relations are as weak as white paper. Only with strong strength can he be respected by others, otherwise he can only be reduced to the target of suppression by others.

Chapter 0262 The First Exorcist Family

Shen Luo directly ignored the people around him, his eyes swept over the ghost list, and soon stopped on a task.

"I'll accept the mission from Chengxi Chunxiang Winery." Shen Luo walked to the mission table and said.

"Yes, arrange it immediately." The attitude of the Bai family steward behind the desk was also completely different from before. With a flattering smile on his face, he immediately took out the task booklet and recorded it.

After completing the registration, Shen Luo walked towards his residence under the escort of everyone's eyes.

Back in the house, he took out the talisman paper he had just bought from his pocket, and placed the talisman ink on the table. After calming down, he took a piece of talisman paper and began to draw the little thunder talisman.

He spent the whole day painting, and didn't stop until evening. There was a thick stack of small thunder talismans on his right hand, which looked like more than [-] sheets. There were more talismans on his left hand, but they were all failures. .

"Drawing more than thirty Xiaolei Talismans a day can be exchanged for more than two Immortal Jade, but the speed is not bad." Shen Luo muttered to himself, put away those Talismans, and closed his eyes to rest.

After nightfall, he got up and left the White Mansion, walked towards the west of the city familiarly, and soon came to a large winery, identified himself, and entered the winery.

Half an hour later, bursts of thunder continued to be heard from the villa, mixed with the screams of ghosts, which quickly disappeared in a low voice.

A while later, Shen Luo came out of the winery, his face was quite pale, half of the sleeve of his right hand was missing, and he looked quite embarrassed.

"Without the help of Senior Ma Facing, facing these ghost things alone is indeed a lot of effort." He raised his right hand, and three long scars were scratched on his arm. The flesh was rolled, but there was not much blood.

Although the cultivation base of the ghost this time is not too high, it is just like the early days of bigu, but its traces are secretive, and its actions are like the wind. , for ordinary monks, without two or three bigu stage monks leading the team, it is impossible to take it down.

Fortunately, he had prepared enough small thunder talismans, and eventually he wasted them to death.

He flipped his left hand, and inside he was holding a white ball full of yin energy, which was naturally the thing where the ghost condensed the yin energy.

"In any case, the task is completed, and five pieces of immortal jade are in hand." A gleam of joy flashed across Shen Luo's face, and he quickened his pace towards Bai's house.

In the next few days, he was busy drawing talismans at home during the day, and at night he sometimes took on some tasks that he thought he was sure of. The speed of earning immortal jade was quite astonishing. More than five pieces of immortal jade.

It’s just that after nearly two months of joint extermination led by the three masters, the situation in Jianye City and nearby counties and towns has finally changed a lot. No new ghost troubles occurred.

Of course, the closer the final juncture, the more intense the competition among the three companies, and some seemingly thankless tasks were quickly eliminated.

Naturally, the residents of Jianye City soon discovered this change, and while rejoicing, they gradually resumed their original daily life and work.

Until the day of Lidong, the government officially announced that the ghost plague in Jianye City had been eliminated, and peace had been completely restored inside and outside the city.

The residents held a grand celebration, and all places in the city decorated with lanterns and festoons to celebrate the elimination of ghosts, and everyone laughed heartily.

The three exorcist families, Bai, Lin, and Du, have greatly increased their prestige because they actively exterminated ghosts from all over the world. The Bai family was awarded the title of "No. [-] Exorcist Family" in Jianye City by the government because they exterminated the most ghosts.

……

A study room in the inner courtyard of the Bai Mansion, Baihe City, Bai Jiangfeng, and some highly respected uncles and core disciples of the Bai family gathered here.

A large golden plaque was placed on a large table in the study room, on which was written: "The First Exorcist Family", six majestic gilt characters.

"The hard work of many days was finally not in vain, and the title of the first exorcist family is well-deserved!" Baihecheng said with a hearty smile, looking at the plaque on the table.

When the others heard this, they all showed excitement on their faces.

"The No. [-] exorcist family" is not just good-looking, the Bai family has also received many benefits promised by the government, and its power has increased greatly, even overwhelming Lin, and the Du family is just around the corner.

"Patriarch, the success of the Bai family depends on the joint efforts of the whole family. Those who make meritorious deeds should be rewarded, especially those guest lords, who should be more courteous," Bai Jiangfeng suggested.

"That's right. All of you present will be rewarded later, and those guests who participated in the mission of Hidden Wind Valley will each be rewarded with ten pieces of immortal jade." Baihecheng announced with a big wave of his hand.

"Thank you Patriarch!" The members of the Bai family were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly thanked them.

"Even though the plague of ghosts has been eradicated, everyone must not relax their vigilance. From today onwards, while our Bai family is vigorously developing, we must also start hoarding supplies in case another major change comes. The Lin and Du families need to be more vigilant." Baihe City With a serious face, he said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Everyone in the Bai family agreed in unison.

……

Early the next morning.

"Thank you, Second Elder, for sending it in person, and thanking the Patriarch on my behalf." In Shen Luo's small courtyard, he sent Bai Jiangfeng to the gate of the courtyard, saying words of thanks.

"You are being polite, fellow Daoist Shen. You deserve all of this." Bai Jiangfeng said with a smile, and quickly took his leave.

Shen Luo turned back into the room, picked up a small cloth bag on the table, it was just sent by Bai Jiangfeng, and it contained ten pieces of immortal jade.

Since he no longer has the task of exorcising ghosts, the speed at which he earns immortal jade has been greatly reduced. For the upcoming ghost market, he has to draw little thunder symbols day and night.

In fact, after the disappearance of the ghost, the sales of the Little Thunder Talisman also dropped significantly. Fortunately, the horse shopkeeper was very trustworthy and did not lower the price of the Little Thunder Talisman.After all, many people are still clear about the principle of being prepared.

"Forget it, earn as much as you can." Shen Luo sighed secretly, took all the talismans drawn yesterday, got up and went out, and soon came to the outside of the Lubao Hall, with a sudden look of surprise on his face .

I saw that the door of the Lubaotang store was half closed, the windows inside were closed, and the lights were not lit. The light was dim, as if something had happened.

His heart skipped a beat, Lubaotang is now the only place where he earns immortal jade, nothing can happen, he hurried in.

There was no change anywhere in the store. Shopkeeper Ma and Ma Xiuxiu were standing by the counter, discussing something in a low voice, with serious expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Shen, are you here to deliver the talisman again?" Seeing Shen Luo coming in, shopkeeper Ma hurriedly put on a smiling face and greeted him.

Although Shen Luo felt that Shopkeeper Ma's smile was a bit strange, he was relieved to see that everything in the store was as usual, and took out thirty small thunder charms from his bosom, and handed them over.

"Mr. Shen's skill in drawing talismans is really amazing. He can draw so many talismans every day, even a skilled talisman master is far behind." Shopkeeper Ma took the Xiaolei talisman, took out two pieces of fairy jade and handed it over.

Shen Luo smiled slightly, did not answer, took the fairy jade and put it away.

"Master Ma, at this hour, the store is still closed. Could something have happened?" He looked around and asked.

"Don't mention it, I had bad luck recently, a batch of goods in the store were robbed by a gang of thieves, and the loss was quite heavy." Shopkeeper Ma sighed.

"Where was it intercepted? Is there an official?" Shen Luo asked.

"I was robbed by a group of water bandits in the Lishui River, which is [-] miles away from Jianye City. Naturally, I have reported this to the officials. It's just that the thieves are extremely cunning, and they left without leaving any traces. Someone has been sent to check, but no clues have been found." Shopkeeper Ma shook his head and said.

Shen Luo heard the words and fell silent.

Chapter 0263 Green Pine Forest

If it was intercepted on land, Shen Luo might be able to find some clues with his extraordinary five senses, but this happened on water, and any smell would be washed away once it touched water, and he could do nothing about it.

"The other things in that batch of goods are nothing, and a batch of red snake grass was also lost, these damned water bandits!" The shopkeeper Ma's eyes showed resentment.

"Red Snake Grass? But it is a kind of spiritual grass that is shaped like a red snake and contains high poison? I remember that this grass is just an ordinary spiritual material, and it can only be used to refine several kinds of poisons. It is not very precious." Shen Luo in the classics Seeing the record of this grass on the Internet, he hesitated and said.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Shen is not only proficient in talisman techniques, but also has research on alchemy. You are right, ordinary red snake grass is just a rare spiritual material, but what I Lubaotang bought this time is double-pointed red snake grass. Although it contains strong poison, it also has a strange vitality and spiritual power, which is the spiritual material for refining the condensed essence alchemy, which is very precious." Shopkeeper Ma glanced at Shen Luo in a little surprise, and then continued to speak in an indignant voice.

"Father, since things are lost, it's useless to think about them any more. Let's look at them." Ma Xiuxiu came over with a cup of tea at the moment, put it in Shen Luo's hand, and said in relief.

The horse shopkeeper nodded helplessly, and sighed for a while.

"Congealing Yuan Pill?"

Shen Luo thought of something, and blurted out asking.
