Chapter three hundred and twentieth return to the old business
Shi Mu came to the house outside the cave, glanced around, and landed on a black stone house on the edge of the house.
As soon as he activated the true energy in his body, he punched out in the air, and a fist shadow shrouded in red flames condensed out of the air, carrying a scorching heat wave, and struck a stone house not far away.
"Boom"!
Rocks flew everywhere, and a hole several feet wide was suddenly punched through one wall of the house. The other wall opposite to it was also punched through.
Shi Mu was overjoyed. After his cultivation reached the late Xiantian stage, his strength also made rapid progress. He casually activated his true energy to leave his body with a punch, and he punched through two sides that seemed as hard as iron.
It has the power of a stone wall as thick as a foot.
His eyebrows suddenly raised, and he closed his eyes to sense it.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, waved his sleeves, and recited a spell.
The next moment, a red light flashed in front of him, and six fireballs the size of a basin emerged around him, bombarding the stone house like meteors.
There was a loud rumble and a burst of flames!
There was a violent vibration in the stone house, and large pieces of rubble wrapped in flames flew out in all directions. The stone house was riddled with holes. It only managed to hold on for a few breaths before it collapsed.
When Shi Mu saw this situation, he looked satisfied.
His magic power has not improved, but the power of the fireball technique is much greater than before. The reason is that as the Red Ape Fire Sutra enters the ninth level, his elemental sensitivity to the fire attribute has increased.
Quite a few, now it is almost six degrees, and it has exceeded my elemental sensitivity to the power of space.
At this moment, as long as he closes his eyes, he can clearly feel the fire elements contained in the air, and he can freely mobilize these elements to launch Qi or magic attacks.
Speaking of it, most of the credit for the reason why I was able to advance so successfully should be attributed to the Huoyuan Peach King. No wonder it attracted the strong men of the earth level to fight with bloodshed.
"Stone, your strength seems to have improved a lot after your breakthrough!" At this moment, Cai'er flew over from a distance.
During the time when Shi Mu was in seclusion, Cai'er was bored and volunteered to go out, saying that she wanted to look out for Shi Mu.
"What's the situation outside the city now?" Shi Mu asked.
"It is said that Ao Kui has not appeared for a while, but those monsters are still lingering nearby." Cai'er said.
Shi Mu nodded, turned around and walked towards the underground cave, Cai'er followed.
A moment later, Shi Mu was in the Yinghuo Formation. He looked around and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
During the period of self-isolation, the fire spirit stones in the array have been replaced several times. At this time, most of the last batch has been consumed, and the light has dimmed a lot.
If you want to continue to stay in this kind of city for a while, continue to use this formation to practice, and consolidate your realm, you must purchase some more Fire Spirit Stones.
As a result, earning spiritual stones has become a top priority right now.
Shi Mu checked the items in the Chen Miao Ring. Currently, in addition to some previously confiscated magic weapons and spiritual weapons, there are also some spiritual herbs, elixirs, and ore materials that can be exchanged for spiritual stones.
Among these things, except for those few spiritual weapons, I'm afraid the other items won't fetch much.
And those spiritual weapons are all things that can increase his strength, and he is not willing to sell them casually now.
At this moment, Shi Mu's eyes flashed and landed on a large pile of animal skins in the corner of the space inside the Chenmiao Ring.
It seems that now, I can only continue to do my job.
It was not difficult for him to draw some talismans, but this place was not as good as Dongzhou Continent. He decided to go to the city to explore first and see what was going on here.
Upon thinking of this, he stood up and walked outside.
"Shitou, are you going out again?" Cai'er asked.
"Well, I have something to do."
As Shi Mu spoke, he quickly left his residence and came to the shopping streets in the city, where he began to walk in and out of each shop.
It was not until evening that he walked out of the street and walked towards his residence in the north of the city.
In the Dust Ring, there are already a lot of animal skin talisman papers, and some materials for drawing mid-to-high-level talismans.
Through walking around in these shops and talking to people intentionally or unintentionally, he already had a good understanding of the talismans of Xihe Continent.
Wars between monsters and barbarians in Xihe Continent are relatively frequent, and talismans are effective against enemies quickly and often have a life-saving effect. Therefore, the demand for talismans among the barbarians is still considerable.
As he had expected before, compared to the strong demand, barbarian talisman masters were very scarce. There were so few barbarians with this talent that the price of talismans was once very expensive.
However, this situation has changed somewhat after the emergence of the Mingyue Western Sect. Since the Mingyue Western Sect is mainly composed of warlocks and soul masters, there are far more people who are good at making talismans than barbarians. Among the major barbarian tribes in Xihe Continent,
Today, more than half of the talisman business in the world is in the hands of the Ming Yue Sect, which also allows the supply and price of talismans in Xihe Continent to be controlled to a certain extent.
But even so, the ones circulating on the market are basically low- and middle-level talismans, and the price is almost ten times that of Dongzhou Continent. High-level talismans are often expensive and unmarketable. Once they appear, they will be used by major barbarian tribes.
Rush to buy.
Shi Mu thought about this, with a hint of excitement on his face.
The situation outside the city is complicated now, and it has been a long time. Naturally, there are many people who can't wait to leave the city. The requirements for talismans are naturally increasing. He only needs to refine some mid-to-high-level talismans, and the spiritual stones he earns will be enough for him.
The Yinghuo Formation for many days to come has been spent.
Shi Mu walked through a street intersection, and a large group of people gathered in front of him, talking a lot.
His eyes flashed. This was the place where the city lord's palace issued an announcement. With so many people gathered around, something must have happened.
He pondered for a moment, walked over, and blended into the crowd.
A new notice was posted on the notice board, and Shi Mu's expression changed slightly.
The content of the notice is that a reward is offered to find the person who hunts and kills the red-ringed python.
"Stone..." Cai'er glanced at Shi Mu worriedly. Shi Mu's expression was calm, as if he didn't see what was happening in front of him.
Shi Mu mingled among the crowd, listening to the discussions of the people around him.
It turned out that Marshal Zhu Jiaojiao's siege of the city for more than a month had greatly affected the operation of various things in the city. The Lord Youcan finally couldn't sit still and decided to catch the culprit in order to put an end to the matter as soon as possible.
Shi Mu looked at it for a while, then quickly turned around and walked out of the crowd, heading towards his residence.
…
Five days later, in a room of the residence.
Shi Mu looked tiredly at the pile of talismans on the table, with a hint of excitement on his face.
In the past few days, he had been drawing intermediate talismans day and night. The result of five days of hard work was the more than 40 intermediate talismans in front of him.
Although they are all golden talismans, fire spear talismans, and Luoteng talismans, they seem to be ordinary mid-level talismans in Dongzhou Continent, but in Xihe Continent, the effect is several times higher than those totem talismans.
Shi Mu put away all the talismans and walked out again.
Half a day later, he returned to the cave and found that all the talismans had been sold out.
Excluding the cost of painting materials and other costs, I earned almost three to four thousand spiritual stones. Although it is not much, I can still earn twenty thousand spiritual stones in a month.
He did not sell these talismans to Tianwu Baoxuan. The chamber of commerce was too powerful, so Shi Mu subconsciously did not want to provoke them, and he did not want them to know too many of his secrets.
He sold all the talismans to the shop where he first inquired about Ling Tianfeng.
The thick-browed shopkeeper's name was Ailamu, and he had a pretty good impression at the time.
He has reached an agreement with the other party that he will sell the talismans produced here in the future, but the other party must keep Shi Mu's secret, and he needs to collect fire attribute spiritual stones and various talisman drawing materials on Shi Mu's behalf.
Collecting materials is just a trivial matter, and hiding things is something he wants even more. If other shops know that Shi Mu, a talisman master, is there, how can such opportunities to earn spiritual stones be left to his shop.
…
One month later.
In the stone house, Shi Mu stood in front of the stone table, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
Then, he took a piece of exquisite animal skin talisman paper from the side and placed it in front of him.
The talismans this time were all high-grade animal skin talismans that he purchased at a large price, intending to refine high-level talismans.
After several previous refining attempts, he now has a lot of confidence in high-level talismans and can give it a try.
While thinking about it, the magic pen lit up with light and fell on the talisman paper.
…
Five days later, Shi Mu looked tired and had a lot of stubble on his face, but his face was quite excited.
There were more than a dozen talismans placed on the table, with auras flashing on their surfaces, and they were all high-level talismans.
Eight cyan wind shadow talismans and three khaki earth escape talismans.
Because he had already tried the Wind Shadow Talisman before, this time with the blessing of his spiritual eye, he had a high success rate and drew eight in total.
The Earth Escape Talisman is also one of the five-element talismans recorded in the "Qiantian Talisman Sutra". It consists of a total of thirty-five runes, and the runes are circuitous and intertwined. If it were not for spiritual eyes, I am afraid that none of them would be successful.
Even so, Shi Mu only managed to draw three of them after destroying a dozen animal skins.
Shi Mu kept two Wind Shadow Talismans and one Earth Escape Talisman for himself, and then gave the rest to Ellamu.
When Elamu took these eight high-level talismans, he looked at Shi Mu as if he was looking at a monster.
Not long after, news spread that there were high-level talismans in Ellamu's shop. This matter naturally attracted the attention of some powerful people in the city.
However, Ailamu is also a shrewd person, and he is even more silent about Shi Mu's whereabouts, not even revealing the slightest bit.
After three months of this, the spiritual stones obtained by Shi Mu from drawing talismans had reached a small scale, once again reaching 60,000 to 70,000, and the majority of them were fire attribute spiritual stones, which were enough to maintain the Yinghuo Formation for less than half a year.
Shi Mu informed Ellamu that he would stop drawing the talismans and concentrate on practicing.
Although Elamu was a little reluctant, he did not dare to offend Shi Mu, the financial owner.
