There was only one bunk in the wing room that could accommodate six people, and Gu Changqing turned out a yellow bag under the bed against the wall.

When I opened the bag, there were two books, a pen, an inkstone, half a bowl of cinnabar, and five or six pieces of yellow paper.

Two books, one is called "Daozang Talisman Collection", which is a must-read book for all cultivators, and this book records many spirit runes, and the transformation charms, ghost collection charms and fire exorcism charms drawn by Gu Changqing are all from this book.

Spirit runes are the most commonly used by Taoist priests and can be regarded as an instantaneous spell.

Under normal circumstances, Taoist spells need to be recited and the Dao seal can be cast, and the spell takes a certain amount of time to form.

Store spells in runes, and spells can be instantaneous.

However, unlike ordinary spells, spells that can be stored in talismans are not called spells, but spells.

The spirit runes are equal to the grades of Taoist priests, and they are also divided into nine grades.

Of course, there are also many non-graded charms recorded in the "Daozang Charm Collection", such as the shape-shifting charm, which is called a basic charm.

Runes, like spells, are tiered by the amount of mana they consume.

For basic spells or runes, the maximum cost will not exceed 10 points.

The maximum consumption of the nine products will not exceed 100 points.

The maximum consumption of eight products will not exceed 1,000 points.

The maximum consumption of seven products will not exceed 10,000 points.

By analogy, the maximum consumption of a product will not exceed 10 billion.

Another book is called "Shangqing Taoist Sutra", which is also a must-read book for Taoist priests.

There are various spells recorded in this book, and like the spirit runes, there are nine grades.

These two books are also one of the focuses of the Dao Gong Division's assessment.

The assessment of the Dao Gong Division is divided into two parts, the first part is the literary examination.

The content of the essay test is to make three basic spiritual runes and release three basic spells.

The second part is the martial arts test, that is, the actual combat.

Gu Changqing entered the Taiyi Guan Dao, and only got these two books in his hands.

As for the pen, inkstone, cinnabar, and yellow paper in the bag, they are necessary for making spiritual runes.

The core of the talisman is cinnabar, and only spells drawn with cinnabar have mana.

What Gu Changqing thought was that he had to rely on copying the Heavenly Dao Qing Talisman to earn enough for the assessment fee of the Dao Sect.

The assessment fee of the Dao Gong Division is two yuan, that is, two thousand yuan, and the assessment time is in October of each year.

It's July, and he has less than three months to prepare.

In other words, he must earn 2,000 yuan in three months.

According to his thoughts, a copy of the Heavenly Dao Blue Talisman could be sold for five hundred wen, and he only needed to draw four of them.

Originally, it cost him one hundred and seventy-eight mana to copy the Heavenly Dao Blue Soul Talisman, but now he only needs to spend one hundred and fifty mana.

Previously, the Heavenly Dao Blue Talisman allowed him to get five hundred texts, and he used three hundred of them as mana, so that he could make two Heavenly Dao Blue Talismans.

Three days later, the old man came to Taiyi to get the spirit talisman, and if it was the same as last time, he would also exchange it for five hundred words.

Lying on the bed and reading a book for a while, Gu Changqing fell asleep, he was really tired in the past two days.

Early the next morning, he didn't see the Lord come back, and Gu Changqing didn't wait long, so he could only postpone the matter of the water ghost's excess.

After saying hello to Ma Taiping, he rushed straight to Emei County.

The first thing he had to do was to exchange the 500 Wenbao banknotes for five 100 Wenbao banknotes.

It's still a big deal.

Gu Changqing went in but only saw Xiao He sitting on the counter, and Shopkeeper Liu was still not there.

"It seems that Shopkeeper Liu is very attentive to his baby son, and he is not at the counter today. ”

Xiao He glanced at him strangely and said, "You haven't heard?"

Gu Changqing said strangely: "What did you hear?"

"Something happened to the shopkeeper Liu's son. ”

"What can happen to a newborn child?"

Xiao He stretched out his head and said mysteriously: "I have hit the evil spirit, I was born without any movement, like a piece of wood, several groups of Taoist priests have come in the past two days, but I haven't found out what the reason is, and even the deputy seal officer of the Dao Jar Division is helpless." ”

The Dao Gong Division was the most important yamen of the Ming Dynasty, and was set up in all provinces, provinces, prefectures, and counties.

The chief official of the Dao Gong Division is called the Zhengyin Officer, and the county-level is awarded seven products, which is the same level as the county order, and there is a deputy seal officer under it, from the seven products, and the Tsing Yi and the purple clothes are awarded to the eight products.

Generally, after passing the assessment of the Dao Clan, there are two options, the first is to enter the Dao Priest as a Dao Soul Pawn.

The Dao Lingchu is equivalent to the official establishment of the Dao Gong Division, which is a nine-grade Taoist priest, and is controlled by the Tsing Yi envoy and the purple Yi envoy.

The second option is to continue to return to Taoism and learn the Tao, and can participate in the imperial examinations of the imperial court.

For example, Ma Taiping and He Yong of Taiyiguan, they both passed the assessment of the Dao Gong Division and received the Nine Rank Dao Gong, but none of them entered the Dao Gong Division.

In Emei County, in addition to the county order of the seventh product and the official seal of the seventh product, the deputy seal official of the seventh product has the highest mana.

Gu Changqing didn't expect that the son of Shopkeeper Liu was helpless even as the deputy seal officer, I am afraid that there is something strange in this.

He didn't ask too much, there are powerful people everywhere these days, where can he manage so much as a small person.

After exchanging five hundred-hundred-year-old banknotes with Xiao He, Gu Changqing found a place where no one was around, and turned the three-hundred-year-old banknotes into three hundred mana.

Now he only has these three hundred mana left.

Originally, there was still a balance of fifty, but last night I helped Ren Yi test all the Dao heart.

He took the remaining two hundred treasure bills and came to North Street.

There is a place on North Street that is frequented by Taoist priests, called Daobao Pavilion.

The Dao Treasure Pavilion is a shop outside the Dao Gong Division, which sells all the items related to the Taoist priest.

Spells, spells, and spells are the focus.

Of course, there are also finished runes.

Gu Changqing came to the Dao Treasure Pavilion to buy materials for making the Heavenly Dao Blue Talisman.

Last night he took a cursory look and found that cinnabar was seriously in short supply, and he had to buy some more.

In front of the door of the Dao Treasure Pavilion, there are two young men in black robes, with a white crane embroidered on the chest of the robe.

Walking into the inner hall, there are four display cabinets, which are divided into magic cabinets, charm cabinets, spell cabinets and finished product cabinets.

In front of each of the four counters stood a person, dressed in a cyan robe, with a white crane embroidered on his chest.

This is the Tsing Yi envoy of the Taoist Division, from the Eight Grades of Taoism.

Gu Changqing walked to the talisman cabinet, and the Tsing Yi envoy asked, "What do you want to buy?"

"Cinnabar. ”

"What kind of cinnabar?"

"Let's get down, take two taels. ”

Cinnabar is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the higher the grade, the better the effect of the spirit rune drawn, but the price is expensive.

Normally, one tael of cinnabar can make ten spirit runes, but even if it is a low-grade cinnabar, one tael will cost five yuan.

Gu Changqing didn't dare to buy more, so he only bought two taels.

Counting the remaining less than half a tael of cinnabar, even if the copying fails during the period, these are enough to make two Heavenly Dao Blue Talismans.

After buying cinnabar, Gu Changqing walked around the counter.

This talisman cabinet is not only sold with cinnabar, but also with brushes, inkstones, and yellow paper.

These are all materials for making runes, and the better the quality, the better the effect of the runes.

Of course, at the center of the counter are secret scriptures, all of which are spells that cannot be passed down.

Gu Changqing noticed that one of the scriptures called "Three Rules of Mao's Charms" was actually priced at 990,000 yuan.

He shook his head and thought to himself, just three charms actually sold for 990,000 yuan, and the world of rich people really didn't understand.
