The reason why he purchased the materials for drawing low-level talismans was actually because Zheng Chen needed some low-level talismans for self-defense, and on the other hand, he wanted to make some progress in the cultivation of talismans.
The most important role of practicing talismans is not reflected in the talismans, but in the blessing of magic weapons.
If a magic weapon of the same grade is placed with some reasonable spells, its power will be greatly increased, or even doubled. Its importance is self-evident.
Although Zheng Chen's Li Yun Sword has not been completely refined and has only gone through some rough refining, there are still ways to increase its power. For example, after being inlaid with fire crystals, the power of Li Yun Sword has been greatly improved.
, it would be great if some more charms could be drawn in it.
At the Dharma Research Conference, Zheng Chen saw many first-, second-, and even third-grade magic weapons, and most of them had talismans sketched on them. This was enough to show the importance of sketching talismans on the magic weapons. That’s why Zheng Chen had the idea of on the Liyun Sword.
I also sketched out the idea of a talisman. After all, Zheng Chen will still need to rely on the Li Yun Sword for a long time in the future.
However, practicing the art of talismans requires a lot of money, because the accumulation of experience in talismans requires a large amount of gold ink and talisman paper, and these things are not ordinary things, they are all materials for cultivation, and they are also used to cultivate the world.
There are a large number of monks practicing this technique, making the price of gold ink and talisman paper a bit expensive.
Zheng Chen actually has some wealth now. Not only does he have more than a hundred spiritual stones, but he also has several bottles of elixirs. He can buy some gold ink and talisman paper that can be bought with warm jade, gold and silver, and it is not even half a problem for him.
Unknowingly, Zheng Chen arrived at the drug store where he bought Peiyuan Pill last time.
Standing at the door of the drug store, Zheng Chen paused for a moment, then walked in with the attitude of giving it a try.
The business of this drug store is still good. Zheng Chen did not receive any reception when he entered it. The two clerks were already very busy. The customers in the room were all whispering something. Businesses were being discussed or had already happened.
achieved.
First, I walked around the shop. Most of them were low-level medicinal materials or elixirs. They were considered precious to a monk of Zheng Chen's level, but they were not valued by Zheng Chen, nor by him.
I want to purchase materials containing soul power.
Therefore, Zheng Chen pulled a Zhike waiter to his side and asked in a low voice: "Can the shopkeeper be in the back room?"
When he heard the word "back room", the Zhike clerk's originally somewhat resentful expression immediately improved. He nodded with a flattering smile and said, "Yes, sir, please come with me."
Since you know the back room, you must have gone in there, and most of the people who can enter the back room are monks of some status, so the knowledgeable clerk in the drug store has such a friendly and even flattering expression.
Sure enough, the old shopkeeper was indeed in the back room, but he was just relaxing with his eyes closed, and his fingers were tapping the table with some regularity, looking very leisurely.
When Zheng Chen came last time, his cultivation level was too low and he didn't see through the old man's strength. This time, his cultivation level has greatly increased, and his eyesight has naturally improved a lot, but he can just see through the old man's mid-level spiritual gathering cultivation level.
The old man could indeed recognize Zheng Chen, but he couldn't see Zheng Chen's cultivation level at a glance like last time. He seemed a little surprised. He was even more respectful than before, and he even filled a cup of tea for Zheng Chen himself.
.
The old medicine shop owner has been through the world for a long time, and his moves are very vicious. Although Zheng Chen has hidden his cultivation, he intuitively senses that there is an aura in Zheng Chen that is far better than his own. He knows that Zheng Chen is no longer the same person as before.
The boy who came to buy the Peiyuan Pill.
When he learned that the guest had left, Zheng Chen said bluntly to the old shopkeeper: "Old sir, I came here this time to ask if there are any materials containing soul power in this drug store. Of course, I don't want to buy anything of this grade.
Materials containing high soul power and a little low-level spiritual essence will suffice."
The old shopkeeper was startled at first, then pondered for a moment and said: "Materials containing soul power are very rare in the world of cultivation. Even if they are of low quality and contain little soul power, they are difficult to find..."
"Old sir, you can relax. Now that I'm here, I won't buy things with empty words." Zheng Chen waved his hand, signaling to the old shopkeeper not to waste time. He came prepared.
The old shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, and stopped playing tricks, and simply said: "In this Zhengyangfang City, we are probably the only pharmacy that can produce materials containing soul power, and there are many kinds to choose from, but
, these materials of extraordinary value are not in the shop, but are elsewhere. The young master only needs to take out ten low-grade spiritual stones and show them to me, and I can take the young master there to choose."
Zheng Chen did not hesitate, and with a slight thought, ten low-grade spiritual stones suddenly appeared on the table.
The room was suddenly filled with spiritual light, which made the reddish complexion of the old shopkeeper stand out.
The old shopkeeper is only at the middle stage of Spirit Gathering. Although he is in charge of this medicine shop, he rarely sees spirit stones on weekdays. Even if he does, he doesn't dare to line his own pockets and still has to hand it over. But he saw ten spirit stones at once.
, for him, it is very rare, so it is normal for him to show some excitement.
You must know that the spiritual power contained in a low-grade spiritual stone is enough for a monk in the early stage of gathering spirits to break through to the late stage of gathering spirits, which is the pinnacle of the later stage.
After the spirit stone was put away by Zheng Chen, the old shopkeeper took Zheng Chen out of the medicine shop and directly out of Zhengyangfang City.
After walking about ten miles from Fangshi, Zheng Chen asked impatiently: "Where are we going and how far is it?"
The old shopkeeper said helplessly: "There is still about sixty miles to go. There is no official road on this road and it is very bumpy and bumpy. The carriage cannot move, so we can only walk. Let's hold on. With our strength, we can walk on these mountain roads."
It’s nothing.”
Zheng Chen looked into the distance and said, "Looking in this direction, are we going to enter the monster forest?"
The old shopkeeper said: "Yes, it is the Monster Forest, but don't worry, sir, we are not going deep into the Monster Forest, we are just in a valley on the periphery."
Zheng Chen frowned slightly and said: "According to what I heard, there are many tough bandits on this mountain road. If you and I go like this, we might get into trouble."
The old man in charge of the shop said calmly: "Most of the gangsters on the road know me and won't embarrass us."
"Even if we are allowed to pass, it will still be a bit troublesome." Zheng Chen said as he continued to move forward.
The two of them were speechless and headed south, gradually entering the monster forest.
Although the road was not far, it was indeed uneventful. However, the old shopkeeper still had some energy. The gangsters along the way did not embarrass the two of them, and even greeted the old man warmly, which made Zheng Chen couldn't help but wonder.
The old shopkeeper and those gangsters were originally members of the same family.
Seeing that he was about to reach the target location in more than ten miles, Zheng Chen, whose spiritual awareness had improved a lot, suddenly noticed some unusual smells, and there was actually a smell of blood in the air.
Without thinking much about it, they just thought it was the smell of blood left by wounded beasts or monks. They continued on the mountain road for a few miles, and both Zheng Chen and the old shopkeeper heard the sounds of fighting not far ahead.
Originally, they didn't want to cause trouble and bypassed the fight ahead, but the road ahead was the only way to go, so the two had no choice but to move forward.
In a forest with tall trees, Zheng Chen saw a seemingly middle-aged woman and a little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old, surrounded by more than twenty sturdy men...
