Chapter 153: Difficulties

For three months in a row, Shen Li has been intoxicated in the world of runes, at first he was interested and curious, and he didn't feel anything, but now he has achieved something, Shen Li really feels almost crazy, every day he opens and closes his eyes are runes.

So, in addition to maintaining the necessary time to draw talismans every day, Shen Li began to return to his normal life.

Every time he cultivates alone, it is inevitably boring, so Shen Li often goes to the academy to listen to lectures, the teaching of Taibai Academy is not as disciplined as other schools, but very casual, for example, today there will be an elder to give a lecture on a certain aspect, and the students will spontaneously arrive at a palace to listen to the elder's lecture.

In the academy, there are often lectures by some senior tutors and even inner elders, and Shen Li will not miss most of them, because although his martial arts talent is high, he is relatively lacking in theoretical knowledge, and after listening to the explanations of these tutors, many problems in cultivation will be solved, which will benefit Shen Li a lot.

Compared with before, Shen Li's life really began to become calmer, every time he said that he was painting talisman cultivation, or listening to lectures, and living a peaceful life, his attainments in talisman and martial arts also began to improve by leaps and bounds, especially in martial arts, and after a few months, Shen Li was promoted again and reached the realm of the third stage of the True Martial Realm.

The same is true on the rune path, perhaps because of Shen Li's accumulation, Shen Li's entry on the rune path can be said to be a thousand miles, and after five months, making a rune is no longer a challenge for Shen Li.

So, Shen Li asked Su You for a second-grade rune scroll and began to challenge to a higher difficulty.

Fortunately, Shen Li had such a teacher as Su You, if not, he would not have been able to get so many rune scrolls, even if it was just a low-level rune of the first or second grade, but if it was above the market, it would be worth a lot.

This rune is called the Qi Benefit Rune, which has the effect of replenishing qi, and belongs to the lower level of the second-grade rune, after getting the rune, Shen Li began to make difficulties, because the second-grade rune is not as good as the first-grade, with his current ability, if he does not use special rune paper and ink, he can't draw it at all.

Looking at the materials needed for the rune, Shen Li is head is big for a while, making this qi talisman requires a total of three materials: ink jade, hundred-year-old mulberry, and nectar, and these three are rare materials, Shen Li will have no place to find them for a while, and he is not familiar with this Taibai City, so he doesn't know where to sell them.

In desperation, Shen Li could only suppress the idea of making this rune, and when he found the materials, he began to make it.

This said, there was an inner elder who held a lecture, the content was the absorption of the vitality of heaven and earth, Shen Li naturally would not be absent, and during the period, he met Yang Xu and sat in one place.

When they were done, the two walked out together.

"How are you doing, I haven't seen you for so long," Yang Xu asked with a smile.

"I'm so busy learning runes that my brain is about to explode. Shen Li smiled bitterly.

"Don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know the blessings, I don't know how many people in this world want to become a talisman like you, but they don't have that qualification at all. Master Fu, what a noble profession. Yang Xu rolled his eyes and said with emotion.

"Maybe, but I've been really struggling with it lately. ”

"What's wrong?"

"I want to make a rune, but I don't know where to start. Shen Li shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"What material, tell me about it. ”

"Moyu, hundred-year-old mulberries and nectar, can you get them?" Shen Li's eyes flashed with a glimmer of brilliance.

"No, you can't. Yang Xu shook his head, but then said, "But you can go to the Shang Palace and have a look, maybe there are these things." ”

"Shang Palace?" Shen Li was stunned.

"Haven't you heard of it?"

"Nope. Shen Li shook his head honestly: "I basically don't know anything about this Taibai Academy. ”

"I'm really convinced, the Shang Palace is a place similar to a bazaar that is spontaneously organized by the students of the academy, where the students can exchange pills, materials, runes and other things to meet their needs. ”

"There is still such a place, why don't you take me over to see it?"

"Good. Yang Xu nodded in agreement, and took Shen Li all the way east.

The area of Taibai Academy is huge, and there are countless palaces, if you want to cross the academy, you have to walk for at least more than an hour.

However, the two of them walked very quickly, and the distance was not far, and they arrived at the place in less than a quarter of an hour.

It is said to be the Shang Palace, but it is actually outside the palace, exactly like the market, with stalls on both sides of the road, and there are many people, just like a small market.

Looking at the many stalls and the students bargaining with each other, Shen Li was amazed and walked all the way inside, looking around to see if there was anything he needed.

"Gold and silver are basically useless here, because the students who can enter the Taibai Academy are basically the children of big families, with strong property, and they don't care about a little silver taels at all. Yang Xu said as he walked.

"Then how do you trade?" asked Shen Li.

"Swap, exchange with something equivalent. ”

"It's really funny. Shen Li was amazed, and then his footsteps stopped, and his eyes suddenly fell on a stall on the left.

There was a white cloth on the ground, and there were not many things on the cloth, just a few pale black stones, but Shen Li recognized that this was the black jade needed to make the Qi Talisman.

There was a person sitting cross-legged in front of the stall, not very old, with a white complexion, and his breath was not strong, at most he was only the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the First Martial Realm.

"How do you change this ink jade?" Shen Li greeted and asked.

"What do you have?" the man asked lightly, raising his eyebrows.

But a simple question made Shen Li directly stunned on the spot, what did he have? Unfortunately, he didn't have anything, he stayed in the academy for five months, and he could have anything rare to draw with one mind?

Looking at Shen Li's embarrassed expression, the man sneered: "If you don't have anything, just leave, don't affect my business." ”

"Ahem"

Shen Li looked embarrassed, thinking that he was really in a hurry, and he actually forgot about this stubble.

"You are a congenital powerhouse, Master Su's apprentice, and you can't even take out a decent thing?" Yang Xu also looked at Shen Li with a strange expression.

"I used to have it, but before I came, I thought I wouldn't use it, so I left it all at home. Shen Li said helplessly.

"Then you can only go?" Yang Xu spread his hands, indicating that he was helpless.

"Forget it, come back another day. Shen Li waved his hand helplessly, and was about to leave, but as if he suddenly remembered something, Huo Ran turned his head and said to the person who was setting up the stall: "Is the purple smoke stone changed?"

At this time, Shen Li remembered that he still had a lot of purple smoke stones on his body.
