There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Xu Changshou glanced at the golden token on the counter, picked it up and looked at it. The golden token was very simple, with no words on it.

He scanned it with his divine sense and found it filled with countless merits.

Then, Xu Changshou took out his token, faced the golden token, and with a thought, all five points of merit were transferred into the golden token.

"A total of five merit points, which can be exchanged for five Void Spirit Pills. Here are your pills."

As the old man spoke, he took out a white porcelain bottle from his storage bag at his waist and placed it on the counter.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Xu!"

Xu Changshou picked up the white porcelain bottle, walked out without even looking at it, and opened the lid to take a look after reaching the door.

Five pure white pills lay quietly at the bottom of the white porcelain bottle.

That's right, it's five Void Spirit Pills.

"Five Spirit Pills. Not bad!"

Xu Changshou nodded slightly and put away the Void Spirit Pill.

Including the unrefined Void Spirit Pill within him, Xu Changshou has a total of six Void Spirit Pills. These six Void Spirit Pills are only enough for him to cultivate for thirty years.

The next distribution of merit points will not take until a hundred years later. For a long period of thirty years, Xu Changshou will not have any Void Spirit Pills available.

Yang Mengyao once said that if traded privately, ten million high-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for a little merit. Now, the only way Xu Changsou could think of to earn merit was to buy it privately with spirit stones.

Xu Changshou currently only has 56 million high-grade spirit stones, so he must find a way to earn more money.

Xu Changshou's original profession was painting, and the best way for him to make money was by selling talismans.

To draw talismans, one needs tools, and right now, he is missing a magic brush.

The previous spirit brush was a low-level magic weapon, but now that his cultivation has reached the Refinement of Void realm, he needs to use a spirit brush of intermediate-level magic weapon.

A low-level magic weapon's spirit brush cannot draw a seventh-grade spirit talisman. Of course, if you use a mid-level magic weapon's spirit brush, you can draw any spirit talisman below the seventh grade.

In short, a low-level spirit brush cannot draw spirit talismans that exceed its own level, while a high-level spirit brush can draw low-level spirit talismans.

Therefore, what Xu Changshou needs most right now is a spirit brush of intermediate-level magic weapon quality.

"Junior Brother Xu, have you finished exchanging?" Yang An's voice interrupted Xu Changshou's thoughts.

Xu Changshou smiled and said, "Alright, Senior Brother Yang, I'd like to buy a mid-level magic weapon. How many spirit stones would it cost?"

Yang An laughed and said, "Intermediate-level magic weapons are not cheap. Any one of them starts at one hundred million."

"Starting at 100 million!"

Xu Changshou nodded secretly; this price was barely acceptable.

Xu Changshou glanced at Yang An and asked, "I don't have enough spirit stones on me. Can I borrow some on credit?"

Yang An nodded and said, "Of course, you can get a loan on credit. As long as you have the identity token of the Donghua Immortal Sect, you can get a loan on credit at the weapon shop on Youbi Peak, and there is no interest required. However, as far as I know, each person can only get a loan on credit once."

Do you know where the equipment workshop is?

"know."

"Brother Yang, please take me to the equipment workshop."

"go!"

Yang An led Xu Changshou back to the commercial street they had just left, and soon found a shop selling magical artifacts.

The shop is called Donghua Origin Shop, and it has two large rooms.

After glancing at the signboard of Donghua Artifact Shop, Yang An explained, "Donghua Artifact Shop has two rooms. The left one sells high-grade magic weapons, and the right one sells mid-grade magic weapons. The magic weapon we want can be bought on the right. In the future, when you come to buy magic weapons, don't go to the wrong shop."

"Ok!"

Xu Changshou nodded slightly. High-level magic treasures are sold to cultivators at the Great Completion Realm; they are not qualified to enter.

Yang An continued, "Both of these shops are state-run stores. The prices here are absolutely fair. Let's go in and take a look."

"Ok!"

The two of them stepped into Donghua Origin Shop.

Upon entering the shop, one sees a dazzling array of magical treasures hanging on the surrounding walls, including swords, spears, clubs, axes, hooks, and all sorts of other magical weapons.

Xu Changshou looked around but did not see any magical artifacts resembling spirit brushes.

So he walked toward the counter.

The person in charge of guarding the counter was an old man with purple hair. Xu Changshou could not see through the old man's cultivation level, but it should be the Mahayana realm.

Yang An lowered his voice and whispered in Xu Changshou's ear, "This is Uncle Gong."

"Disciple Xu Changshou greets Martial Uncle Gong!"

Xu Changshou walked over and bowed respectfully.

After glancing at Xu Changshou, the old man surnamed Gong asked, "What is it?"

Xu Changshou said, "Uncle-Master Gong, this disciple would like to buy a mid-level magic weapon in the style of a spirit brush."

"A magic brush?" The old man surnamed Gong looked at Xu Changshou curiously.

Xu Changshou confirmed, "That's right, it's the Spirit Brush."

“There aren’t many magic pens. I think I have some. Let me look for them.”

After the old man surnamed Gong finished speaking, he began rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Before long, the old man surnamed Gong found a bright green spirit pen and placed it on the counter.

"This is……"

"This is the Netherworld Jade Brush."

Xu Changshou reached out and took the magic brush in his hand. The small magic brush was surprisingly heavy.

The elderly man surnamed Gong explained, "The handle of the Netherworld Jade Brush is made of Netherworld Ancestral Jade, which is incredibly tough and heavy, making it an excellent material for crafting spirit pens. Furthermore, the brush tip is made from the hair of a Green-Eyed Azure Hill Wolf. Of course, the Green-Eyed Azure Hill Wolf used here is a Saint-level one…"

At this point, the elderly man surnamed Gong stopped and did not say anything more.

Xu Changshou examined it carefully and determined that it was perfectly fine for drawing talismans, so he asked, "Uncle Gong, how much does this spirit brush cost?"

The old man surnamed Gong stroked his beard and smiled, "One hundred and sixty million."

"I want it, but I don't have enough money on me. Can I borrow some?" Xu Changshou asked.

"can!"

The old man surnamed Gong nodded and smiled, "If you want to borrow this, you must pay a minimum deposit of forty million and guarantee to repay the remaining amount within a thousand years. If you cannot repay it within a thousand years, the spirit pen will be forcibly taken back, and the deposit will not be refunded!"

"I need a loan!" Xu Changshou said.

"and many more!"

Yang An pulled at Xu Changshou and said, "Junior Brother Xu, don't be impulsive. Why don't you choose another magic weapon? The Spirit Brush's attack power is limited. You borrowed so much just to buy this. I don't think it's worth it."

Xu Changshou smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yang, I understand your good intentions, but right now, what I need most is this spirit brush. I have a great use for it, so I must buy it."

"All right!"

Seeing Xu Changshou's firm stance, Yang An said nothing more.

"Are you sure you want to borrow money?" the elderly man surnamed Gong asked again.

Xu Changshou nodded: "Confirmed."

The old man surnamed Gong took out a piece of animal hide and quickly drafted an agreement on it.

"If there are no problems, you can take 40 million first, then sign the agreement. Once you sign, the Netherworld Jade Pen will be yours."

"it is good!"

Without saying a word, Xu Changshou paid 40 million high-grade spirit stones, then looked at the agreement, found no problems, and signed it.

After signing, the Netherworld Jade Pen was obtained.
