Chapter 37: Red Shell Village

If you want to make a talisman, of course, it can't be made out of nothing, and it can be made out of thin air, on the contrary, because this talisman technique is dedicated to the five elements, and the materials used are made of special materials, which has long been a rule, although Shen Shi is not very old, but he has been half-forced by his father to learn the way of this talisman for many years since he was a child, and he certainly knows the materials used to make talismans.

First of all, it is necessary to have a special rune pen, which is usually made of tenacious and rich spiritual materials, especially the bones of demon beasts, the higher the level of the demon beast can swallow the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the stronger the ability of the demon beast to swallow the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and the better the rune pen made of animal bones; Therefore, the rune paper must also be made of spiritual materials to withstand spiritual power, and because the five elements of the spell are different, the power is different, and the rune paper used in the five elements spells of different grades is also different, such as the most common first-order spell "fireball technique", "water archery technique", etc., because the power is the least and the spiritual power required to infuse is also the least, so the rune paper required is also the most ordinary "yellow rune paper", and if it is a second-order and third-order five-element spell that has suddenly become more powerful, if you want to make the corresponding rune, the rune paper used must also be changed to "red rune paper", "Green rune paper", and so on, of course, the grade of rune paper is high, and the cost of materials used is also rising.

In addition to these two most important materials, the "cinnabar" used in the drawing of rune runes is also needed to make talismans, which is not too rare, Shen Shi remembers that in the past, when selling rune pens and rune paper on the first floor of Xilucheng Tian, the store often gave one or two bottles directly as an additive.

There are roughly a few materials, but the main rune pen and rune paper, because they all need to be made of spiritual materials, so the price is very expensive in the past, and the rune is difficult and complicated, and it is difficult to make, so in Shen Shi's memory, the price of the rune has always been not low, even if ordinary casual cultivation knows that this thing sometimes saves time and effort, but it just can't afford it.

At this moment, the green board and white strip in front of him clearly wrote the four big words "materials are self-prepared", Shen Shi's heart sank, and then he looked down carefully, and sure enough, he saw that there were a few words at the end of the note with a little pointing, which was nothing more than a rune pen and rune paper by himself, but it was available on the island in the door, and the lowest-level rune pen and yellow rune paper were combined, about five rune papers, and five spirit crystals, as for the cinnabar required to draw runes, it was also generously gifted by friendship.

Seeing the end, especially when he saw the price code, Shen Shi's face was really dark, and he turned around and left, these five spirit crystals don't sound particularly expensive, but they can't stand the rune pen rune paper These things are consumables, needless to say, rune paper, draw one less one, rune pen, especially low-level rune pen, because the material is not tough enough, so it is very easy to wear, and it is often used less than twenty times It should be broken.

Under this premise, the price of five spirit crystals is too expensive, not to mention that the rune has always been known for its complexity and difficulty, and it is very easy to make mistakes in drawing the rune array on weekdays, once the rune is wrong, the entire rune paper will be wasted, so Shen Shi only had a slight calculation in his heart, so he saw that this thing could not be done at all, so he had to give up.

"Profiteer, ......" When he walked back under the whiteboard in front of him, Shen Shi had a calm face, and secretly cursed the Lingxiao Sect's magic hall in his heart.

There were still a lot of young people standing in front of the whiteboard, Shen Shi raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that Sun You, He Xiaomei, Jiang Hongguang and the other three were still standing there, so he walked over and said, "What's the matter, do you see anything suitable?"

He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang both shook their heads slightly, Sun You sighed, and said: "After watching it for a long time, I feel that the tasks on this are almost the same, and it seems that it is really the ones that my uncle told us to do." ”

Shen Shi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Or...... Shall we take a look?"

The other three looked at each other and nodded.

※※※

"What, full?"

Sun You was a little stunned and looked at the smiling senior sister in front of him.

This senior sister is dressed in the clothes of a disciple of Lingxiao Sect, with a slender figure and beautiful appearance, she looks five or six years older than them, it is the season of youth and beauty, and she looks very good-tempered, standing in the White Crane Hall and responsible for receiving these newcomer juniors, many teenagers like to run over to talk to her and ask.

When Sun You and the others came over to her to register a few tasks mentioned by their uncle, and just when they said the first alchemy that they thought was the best after discussing it repeatedly, the senior sister smiled and told them that the Dantang only accepted forty people today, and now it was full.

"This is too fast...... Sun You Shen Shi and the others looked at each other, and a trace of not a good premonition floated in their hearts, Shen Shi hurriedly took a step forward and said, "What about picking up shells, is it the task issued by the Array Hall?"

The senior sister glanced down at a booklet in her hand, smiled slightly, and then said, "The array hall needs thirty people, it's full." ”

Shen Shi was silent, He Xiaomei was anxious beside him, and said, "What about the beast, the task issued by the Spirit Beast Palace?"

Glancing at the record book, the senior sister smiled and said, "Oh, it's too unfortunate, the Spirit Beast Hall has to accept forty people, and it's full." ”

"This ......" The four teenagers stood aside, speechless for a moment.

After a while, Sun You muttered and said, "Hell, how can it be so fast, there are obviously so many tasks on that whiteboard, why does it seem that everyone is desperately squeezing into these places?"

He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang were silent, and they seemed to be confused and puzzled, but Shen Shi inexplicably thought of the few words he heard when he was separated from his father:

In addition to this, Sun You in front of him was born in a family, and he would be taken care of by some hints, so what about the people from other families?

Taking a deep breath, he couldn't talk about the gloom in his heart, but Shen Shi still felt an inexplicable pressure, just how many things he had experienced, he didn't lose confidence, he just secretly clenched his fists.

"I said, why don't you go to the Red Mussel Clan to have a look?" Shen Shi smiled and said to the other three partners.

Sun You thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems that there is no way, the other tasks seem to be very troublesome, why don't you go over and take a look first, if it is really not easy to do any shrimp peeling over there, let's come back?"

He Xiaomei nodded and agreed, but Jiang Hongguang seemed to be a little hesitant, but in the end, seeing that the other three seemed to be interested in going over, he agreed to go over and have a look together.

The residence of the Red Mussel clan is on the east side of Qingyu Island, some distance from Qingyu Ji, but the road on the island is smooth and easy to walk, and it did not take the four of them much time to walk to the seaside village that is directly known as "Red Mussel Village".

In the distance, I saw a flat beach covered with dozens of strange houses, large and small, mostly with four thick logs driven into the sand, and there were wooden houses six or seven feet above the ground, and ordinary people could even walk directly under these houses.

At this moment, looking at the figures in that small village, strange red clam clansmen with red clam shells can be seen everywhere, but in addition, there are actually more than a dozen newcomer disciples and teenagers similar to Shen Shi Sun You and others are also here.

Seeing this scene, Shen Shi and the others were stunned, Sun You was a little incredulous, and said in amazement: "No, there are so many people robbing here? I haven't heard that the task on the island will reach such an outrageous level before?"

Shen Shi pulled Sun You, who was still in a daze, and walked forward quickly, while saying, "Don't come quickly, I'll really not even be here later......"

Sun You was startled and hurriedly followed, He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang were also surprised, followed behind the two of them, and walked quickly towards Hongbang Village.

When they first stepped into the Red Clan Village, to be honest, the four teenagers were still a little nervous, after all, this was the first time they had close contact with these "demon clans" since they were young, but looking at the red clam people walking around them, although they were not very hospitable, they didn't seem to have any murderous and vicious appearances, most of them were looking like they were entering the water and not violating the river, and these teenagers were slowly becoming bolder.

In addition, the teenagers who had already circled in front of them made people feel how bold they were, so they also walked quickly towards the crowded place over there. Shen Shi glanced to the side a few times along the way, only to see that most of the people in the Red Mussel Village were leisurely, and the few people who looked clever even took this opportunity to set up a few stalls on the side of the road, on which some corals, pearls, and all kinds of strange ores and even rare sea beast bones were placed, all of which were rare things produced from the sea, and it seemed that they were preparing to do business with these human disciples.

But now is obviously not the time to watch these things carefully, a group of four people hurried to the middle of the village, only to see that there is a place similar to an altar, and a strange-looking sea beast statue is enshrined in the middle, I don't know what kind it is, anyway, Shen Shi didn't recognize it at first sight.

Under the altar, there were more than a dozen teenagers in a circle, and there were a few red clam clansmen standing in the middle, the one headed by was an old man, who looked a little familiar, Shen Shi thought about it, and remembered that it was the old man and the young man who had seen it in the herring fish set before, and his eyes turned, and sure enough, he saw that the red clam girl was also standing behind the old man. In addition, there were three or four Red Mussel Clansmen standing beside them, who looked taller and taller, all of them were adult men in the clan, and they all looked very happy with smiles on their faces at this moment.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze. The old man laughed, signaled the young people around him to be quiet, and then stroked his beard and smiled, "Everyone can come here, isn't the so-called just to earn spirit crystals?" This thing is very simple, everyone see," he said, waving his hand, and two middle-aged red clam men next to him had already carried two large frames of bamboo cages up, and the sound of "trembling" inside was endless, as if there were many unknown insects crawling.

The eyes of many teenagers fell, and the boys didn't feel anything, but the faces of several girls in the crowd suddenly became a little unnatural, and He Xiaomei, who was standing next to Shen Shi, looked at her body stiffened suddenly, and her eyes were inexplicably a little afraid.
