My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

When Chu Ci took out a long catalog, the guy who was in charge of receiving him was delighted, thinking that this was a big business opportunity.

But after seeing the catalogue clearly, he couldn't help but frown:

"Fellow Daoist, our shop does have all the spiritual herbs in your catalog except for the three kinds. However, you requested that they should all be over a hundred years old, which we don't have. The oldest of these spiritual herbs is only seventy years old, and most are between forty and fifty years old."

The shop clerk said helplessly.

This catalogue was written by Chu Ci himself. He made this list by shuffling all the nine recipes of foundation-building pills in "Nine-Nine Returns to One Ascension Art".

The nine kinds of pill recipes are similar, and many of the spiritual herbs are the same. The only difference is a few main ingredients.

The foundation-building stage is a relatively low-level realm, and the materials for refining foundation-building pills are relatively common, so this store has most of the spiritual herbs, but unfortunately they are not of sufficient age.

"If it's not old enough, would you still like to buy it?" The shop assistant saw that Chu Ci was a little dazed and reminded him.

Chu Ci frowned, unable to make a decision for a moment. The age of the spiritual herbs was very important. If they were not old enough, the effect of the pills that were barely refined would definitely be greatly reduced.

In order to understand the nine kinds of foundation-building pills, Chu Ci also specially studied two books, one is "Bai Cao Ji" which talks about various spiritual plants in the world of immortal cultivation, and the other is "Dan Qi Yin" which talks about the experience of alchemy.

Baicao Ji was given to him by Meng Erniu. If this book was taken to the library, it would require 3000 contribution points, but Chu Ci only spent spirit stones to get it.

In addition to the introduction of spiritual herbs, the book also recorded a method of cultivating the spiritual herbs after picking. Chu Ci only took a quick look at it at the time, but he remembered it very clearly.

"Buy these spiritual herbs that are not old enough and plant them first. If we can find spiritual herbs of a higher age in the future, that would be even better. If not, we can use these."

Thinking of this, Chu Ci said proudly, "As long as there are spiritual herbs on my list, I will take them all, even if they are not old enough."

After hearing this, the shop assistant was overjoyed, as this was a huge deal.

He quickly asked other people in the store to help, and took the plants out one by one from behind the counter. The store owner also came out to take notes.

Each spiritual herb is placed in a special jade box to prevent the loss of the spiritual power of the herb.

After a full hour, more than three hundred jade boxes were piled on the long counter.

The shopkeeper let out a long sigh, handed a piece of paper to Chu Ci, and said:

"Fellow Daoist, there are a total of 312 spiritual herbs here. According to your request, except for the Black Demon Grass, Fairy Rainbow Grass and Thunder Barbarian Flower, the rest are all prepared."

These three spiritual herbs are the main spiritual plants needed to refine the foundation-building pills with the attributes of light, darkness, and thunder.

Chu Ci opened the list,

Cold Grass, 30 years old, 10 plants, 160 Spirit Stones per plant...

Ma Qianzi, 40 years, 10 plants, 360 Lingshi each...

...

Chu Ci nodded in satisfaction, writing very clearly and understandably.

"These spiritual herbs cost a total of 7 spiritual stones. Since you purchased a large quantity, I will charge you 2 spiritual stones."

The spiritual herbs Chu Ci bought were not very expensive because they were not very old. On average, they cost about 200 spiritual stones per plant.

"I'll go with your price. I also want to ask if you buy talismans here?"

"Talisman?" The shopkeeper's face changed. Could it be that the man in front of him didn't have any spiritual stones? He had been busy here for more than an hour.

"No, our store only accepts spirit stones." After saying this, the shopkeeper took a few steps towards the door, as if he was afraid that Chu Ci would run away.

Chu Ci naturally saw through the other party's actions, smiled and said: "In that case, use the spirit stones, but I have a lot of useless mid-grade fire-stabilizing talismans in my hands. I was thinking of finding a shop to sell them. Since fellow Taoist doesn't want to take them, I will go to the Wan Fu Shop over there to take a look."

As he spoke, Chu Ci took out two storage bags and placed them on the counter. "Shopkeeper, please check the spirit stones."

"Fire-stabilizing Talisman? ...Middle-grade?" The shopkeeper was obviously stunned. He did not take the two storage bags, but asked Chu Ci: "I wonder how many middle-grade Fire-stabilizing Talismans you have? Can you take them out and let me take a look?"

The Fire-stabilizing Talisman is a first-level talisman used in alchemy and refining. Because it has little combat value, few people make it. But it is very useful for alchemists. If one has this talisman, the success rate of alchemy will be increased by at least 10%. If it is a mid-grade talisman, the success rate can be increased by more than 30%.

The shopkeeper would only go to Wan Fu Fang to buy expensive elixirs when he was refining them.

If these talismans fell into the hands of Wanfufang, he would definitely need to spend a lot more spirit stones.

When Chu Ci saw this talisman in the first-level cultivation talisman book before, he thought that he might need it in the future, so he refined more than a thousand of them.

Hearing the shopkeeper say this, Chu Ci took out a fire-stabilizing talisman from his arms and placed it on the table.

When the shopkeeper saw the talisman, he immediately asked, "How many of these talismans do you have? How many spirit stones do you plan to exchange for them? Our shop also buys talismans, so you don't have to go to the Wanfufang specifically."

In fact, Chu Ci didn't know how much this kind of talisman was worth in the market. He rolled his eyes and said, "Please name a price, fellow Daoist. If the price is right, I will sell all of my more than a thousand fire-stabilizing talismans to you."

"More than a thousand!?" Shopkeeper Zhang showed an expression of disbelief.

Chu Ci didn't say anything, but handed a storage bag to the other party.

The shopkeeper took the storage bag with some doubt, but as soon as he probed his spiritual sense into it, he was immediately overjoyed to find that there were more than 1200 fire-stabilizing talismans in it, about half of which were of medium quality.

The shopkeeper quickly grabbed the storage bag in his hand, fearing that Chu Ci would regret it and said:

"Fellow Daoist, I want all of these talismans. I'm willing to pay 120 spirit stones for a medium-quality one and 40 spirit stones for a low-quality one. How do you think?"

Chu Ci immediately shook his head: "No, no, this price is too much of a loss for me. In this case, I'd better use spirit stones."

"Then...how about I add 5 more for the low-grade talisman and 10 more for the medium-grade talisman..."

After some bargaining, the shopkeeper's face finally turned red: "Daoyou, this is the highest price I can offer. If you still don't agree, please pay with spirit stones."

Seeing the other party's expression, Chu Ci estimated that this price was already his limit, so he agreed.

In the end, these 1200 fire-stabilizing talismans were sold for 145 spirit stones and 45 spirit stones respectively.

All in all, the shopkeeper still had to give Chu Ci more than 40,000.

However, the shopkeeper still accepted the talismans with great joy. In the following ten years, this shop made a lot of money with these fire-stabilizing talismans.

After collecting all the spiritual herbs and stones, Chu Ci strolled leisurely along several busy streets in Huicheng.

Until late at night, Chu Ci went into several shops and bought more than twenty talisman pens and many cultivation items. He also found fairy rainbow grass and thunderman flower, and bought up all kinds of spiritual fruits in every shop.

98 wood spirit fruits, 125 water spirit fruits, 70 wind spirit fruits...

Except for the light spirit fruit and the dark spirit fruit, other spirit fruits are available in Huicheng, but they are mostly several decades old.

In addition, Chu Ci also discovered a kind of blood spirit fruit, which is specially used to strengthen the body. Although there are many of them, they are only available for 10 to 20 years. However, Chu Ci still bought them all at the price.

It was already late at night, and he had gained a lot from this trip. It was time to go back.

Chu Ci took out a mid-grade flying talisman and headed due east.

Now he can fly using spiritual power, but that consumes too much spiritual power, so he still uses the flying talisman.

Shortly after Chu Ci left, a group of people also flew towards him, and one of them was holding something that looked like a magic plate in his hand.
