Chapter 4 The Human Heart

Outside the shop of the Immortal Society, you can feel the difference, whether it is in and out of the crowd or the lively scene, it is far better than other places, and after really walking in, Shen Shi felt that his eyes were bright, only to see that the lobby of this branch was extraordinarily spacious, the windows were bright and clean, the light was bright, and many monks walked around and lingered among the many counters inside, or looked or asked, their expressions were different or happy.

And in those counters, there are countless spiritual materials, looking at it, there are many kinds and almost everything, but all the spiritual materials that can be related to the cultivation of the truth, although it cannot be said that there are all of them, but they are relatively ordinary, including most of the commonly used spiritual grasses, spiritual pills, formations, talismans and even spiritual weapons, etc., almost can be seen here, and from time to time you can also see some rare and rare treasures, which have aroused the coveting of countless scattered cultivators, of course, the price of similar such treasures and spiritual materials is also amazingly high.

Just walked through the crowd for a while, and looked at a few counters, Shen Shi could see that the shops here in the Immortal Society were indeed much better than those on the street outside, not to mention the complete variety of various spiritual materials, especially on some common and commonly used ordinary spiritual materials, with his insight, he could see that the quality of the things here was higher than that in the shops outside, and after turning around, Shen Shi had not found any fakes in them.

It seems that the Immortal Society is famous, and it is really worthy of its name. But if you really want to talk about it, although the spiritual materials here of the Immortal Society are genuine and of good quality, in terms of price, compared with the impression that Shen Shi had walked before, it seems that it is still one to two percent more expensive than in the shops outside.

It's not surprising to think about it, the contrast between the two sides is so obvious, those small shops outside can't compare to the Immortal Society in terms of spiritual material goods, so if the price is not lower, where can this business continue?

Don't underestimate the little price difference in the middle, among the monks in the world, the number of monks accounts for more than half of the total number of monks, and they are all relatively embarrassed and difficult in cultivation, even if it is a little difference in the price of spirit crystals, there will be people who care very much, so there are also a lot of businesses in those small shops outside. However, for many years, the best and truest spiritual materials are in the shops of the Immortal Society, which is already a recognized truth in the Hongmeng cultivation world, so many times, only within their ability, most monks are still willing to come to the Immortal Society to buy various spiritual materials.

For Shen Shi, with his knowledge and experience of various spiritual materials honed by his childhood, in fact, as long as he has patience, he can also buy things of acceptable quality but cheaper in those small shops outside, but right now in this Broken Moon City, the spiritual materials he wants to buy to make talismans, such as rune paper and rune pens, seem to have no other homes to sell except for the Immortal Society.

He turned his mind like this, and looked at the counters in this spacious and spacious lobby, only to see that on the many counters, the elixir, magic weapons, spiritual weapons, etc., such as spiritual materials, were dazzling, and there were some rare things, exuding aura and precious light, which attracted countless amazements, and even he couldn't help but stop and look at a few times on the middle page, which made people sigh in their hearts, this immortal society really didn't know how many treasures and spiritual materials had been gathered, and this was just one of their many branches, thinking of the many branches of this huge chamber of commerce, all over the vast Hongmeng world, the financial and material resources that the immortals would secretly have, thinking about it deeply, it was terrifying and terrifying。

However, these things are not Shen Shi's turn to worry about, what he is thinking about now is to buy the much-needed rune paper and rune pen first, so after looking at four or five more counters, suddenly his eyes lit up, but he saw the word "rune" on a counter against the wall on the east side of the lobby.

Shen Shi immediately walked over, only to see that this counter was placed against the wall, and there was a person standing inside, dressed in a gray robe, with a kind expression, who should be the guy who took care of the counter. Compared with those most popular counters such as elixirs, spirit grasses, magic weapons, and spiritual weapons, the popularity of Fu Gong here is relatively much colder, and the reason is well known. However, Shen Shi glanced at it, and saw that there were also four or five monks in front of the counter looking around, and one or two of them would ask the guy a few words from time to time, and the guy would also answer questions with a gentle smile.

Seeing Shen Shi walking to the counter, the guy turned his head and smiled at him, greeted him very politely, and asked him to take a casual look first, and then the guest over there asked him something, and he quickly turned around to answer the question over there.

Shen Shi looked at the counter here, and saw that the counter in front of him was actually made of transparent crystal, and the lower part was hollowed out, and he could see that there were many kinds of finished talismans placed inside, and there were many kinds of five-element spells, including the six first-order five-element spells that Shen Shi would know now, and the finished talismans could be seen here.

Looking at the twisted and intricate runes on those yellow rune papers, Shen Shi felt a sense of kindness for no reason.

In the long row of counters in front of him, there were almost all kinds of first-order spell runes, and behind the guy, there was also a transparent cabinet that was also made of crystal, and there were five or six layers of shelves inside, and there were also a lot of runes, but after Shen Shi took a look, he found that the runes in the standing cabinet were actually some second-order and third-order high-level five-element spells.

Shen Shi took a deep breath and looked at the high-level talisman in the crystal cabinet, his eyes couldn't help but become a little eager, but then he shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly. The power of the second-order Five Elements Spell is completely different from that of ordinary first-order spells, and it can already cause threats and damage to the cultivators of the Ning Yuan Realm, but what corresponds to these powerful powers is that the effort and energy required to practice these high-level Five Elements Spells is also staggering.

There are many sentient beings in the cultivation realm under the heavens, and there are few people who deeply cultivate these five elements techniques, and they also have roots. When Shen Shi first practiced those first-order Five Elements Techniques, he also thought about going over the stage in the Qi Refining Realm, and when he reached the Ning Yuan Realm, he had no intention of continuing to cultivate the higher-level Five Elements Techniques.

It's just that three years have passed, and he has experienced so many ups and downs in the middle, and when he saw these talismans again at this moment, he was indeed a little hesitant in his heart. As for these high-level runes, although he looked eager, he had no intention of buying them in his heart, firstly, these high-level runes were far more difficult to make than first-order ordinary runes, so the price was also high and scary, any of the second-order runes were more than ten times that of the first-order magic runes, and the only few third-order runes were hundreds of times higher, which made Shen Shi shake his head while being speechless.

However, the most important reason is another reason, the talisman, if the monk himself does not know this kind of spell, it is impossible to urge the talisman of the same kind to be cast. This restriction is extremely restrictive, so looking at the wide variety of talismans in this counter, most of the monks who come and walk around actually see the most widely circulated talismans such as fireball and ice archery.

He looked here for a long time, and the guy at the counter seemed to have finally finished dealing with the somewhat verbose guest next to him, walked up to him, and asked with a smile: "This guest officer, do you want to buy some talismans?" All the talismans in the shop of this association are made by the master talisman made by the master of the guild, and there is no problem with the quality, you can buy them with confidence." ”

When he smiled and said these words of assurance, his tone was relaxed and natural, as if he was saying a natural fact, and in fact, all the people around him, including Shen Shi, did not show any doubts in their expressions, the reputation of the Immortal Society under ten thousand years has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, Shen Shi's purpose was not to use these talismans, so he smiled and said, "Is there a talisman pen and paper, uh, and cinnabar?"

The guy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a little more strange look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Shi, the person who can manage the talisman counter naturally understands the way of talismans, of course he knows how difficult it is to make talismans, and the guest in front of him looks at most about twenty or so, and he looks young, he really doesn't look like a person who can make a small success in talismans.

Perhaps, this is another young man who doesn't know the height of the sky and thinks too highly of himself, thinking that he can master this talisman making method by learning it casually, and then earn countless spirit crystals by selling talismans?

But the monks in the world are like carps crossing the river, endless, but I really haven't heard of how many people have succeeded in this way, as far as he knows, even those skilled talisman masters who are enshrined in the Immortal Society are often immersed in this path for more than ten years or even decades before they can master talismans, and the probability of failure is also not low.

However, although he turned such a thought in his heart, this guy was still very polite and polite on his face, and the person who came out of the fairy club has always been very educated to the guests, so he nodded at the moment and smiled: "Yes, you wait a minute." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the edge of the counter, took out a large wooden box from the lowest layer, and opened it in front of Shen Shi, only to see that the mechanism in the box was exquisite, and there were several layers of lattices, which were full of rune pens with slightly different shapes, colors and materials, and then he bowed his head and bent down, and went to the other side of the counter to go to a jade plate, which contained various colors of rune paper, which was also placed in front of Shen Shi.

Then, he showed a polite and gentle smile, looked at Shen Shi, and said with a smile: "The goods in this store are all here, you can see if you have what you like, just choose it." ”

Several other monks beside Shen Shi who were also watching at this counter turned their heads to him at the same time at this time, the same monks, how could they not know what the intention of buying the talisman pen and rune paper was, for a while, those monks looked at Shen Shi with different expressions, some were surprised and surprised, some shook their heads in amazement, but more, there was still obvious contempt and ridicule, among them, there was a tall monk who looked half a head taller than Shen Shi, and even laughed directly, with a sneer next to him, and sneered: " Boy, don't have too much appetite at a young age, where is the path of cultivation so easy to walk, be careful and fall to death if you are not careful. ”

Shen Shi frowned, turned his head and glanced at the tall monk, thinking to himself how this person was so tasteless, and he cursed people to death as soon as he opened his mouth without knowing him. However, he has a calm and cautious temperament, and he is in a strange situation at the moment, and he is about to wait for the sect to send someone to pick him up and pick him up, so after pondering for a while, he didn't bother to pay attention to this person, so he turned his head as if he hadn't heard it, and asked the guy, "What are these talismans made of, and what is the price?"

The guy was also patient, pointing to the talisman in the wooden box and explaining it to him in detail, and the tall monk was glanced at by Shen Shi but ignored the past as if it were air, and he also looked grumpy, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, and then looked at Shen Shi's gaze, there was a little disgust.

Shen Shi listened to the guy's introduction for a while, and after thinking for a while, he picked out two peach wood rune pens from the wooden box, this kind of rune pen is steady and tough, although the grade is not high, and the reputation is not as good as those precious famous wood, but it is very suitable for making low-level runes, and at the same time, the pen quality is tough and just suitable for drawing a large number of runes.

When the guy introduced the rune pen, he actually focused on the rune pen made of a few famous trees, and the boasting between the words was very beautiful, because the famous wood was very valuable, and the rune pen made was naturally expensive. However, after seeing Shen Shi choose the peach wood rune pen, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and when he looked at Shen Shi again, he was a little faintly impressed. Then, he took out a porcelain bottle from the counter and handed it to Shen Shi, and said with a smile: "This bottle is cinnabar, the rules of our store, anyone who buys a rune will give a bottle, but if you want it later, you need to spend Lingjing to buy it." ”

Shen Shi nodded, this rule was almost recognized in the cultivation realm, and he also understood, so he asked, "If you buy cinnabar again, what is the price?"

The guy glanced at him, thinking that a bottle of cinnabar could draw at least fifty talismans, and if the success rate was higher, it could even reach sixty, but even if those talisman masters came to make talismans, this bottle of cinnabar could be used for several months, thinking that this kid was really too high-spirited, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.

However, there was no need for him to remind others of these words, he just smiled faintly at the moment: "Although cinnabar is not a valuable thing, it has always paid attention to quality, and this cinnabar is actually thicker and purer than other places, so if the guest officer wants to buy it again, one spirit crystal can buy three bottles." ”

Shen Shi pursed his lips, thinking that back then, in the first floor of Tianyi, one spirit crystal could buy five bottles of cinnabar...... But there was no other choice at the moment, he thought about it, but nodded and said, "Then buy three more bottles." ”

The man smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, just leaned over and took out three more bottles of cinnabar, and at this time, the eyes of several monks next to him were already full of mockery, as if they had seen a big fool.

The guy put away the wooden box of the rune pen, and then took the jade plate with all kinds of rune paper, and said, "What do you see of these rune papers?"

Shen Shi swept his eyes, and saw that the rune paper in this jade plate was stacked neatly, and there were several colors, of which the largest number accounted for more than half, which was earthy yellow rune paper, and basically all the first-order runes were painted on this yellow rune paper. In addition, there is also a blue rune paper with a blue color, which is prepared for the second-order rune, and a stack of rune paper with a clear blue and warm color, which looks very strong and distinctive, and it looks like it stands out from the crowd in this jade plate, but it is a blue rune paper, which is prepared for the extremely rare third-order rune.

I have to say that this immortal society is really powerful, even if it is a branch, there is such a rare thing.

However, Shen Shi's current strength, naturally he still can't touch these high-grade spiritual materials, he nodded, pointed to the large number of yellow papers, and said with a smile: "I buy this." ”

The guy smiled, and then smiled and took a stack of yellow rune papers, looked at about twenty sheets, and asked with a smile, "How many do you want to buy?"

Shen Shi thought about it, and for some reason, for no reason, he suddenly remembered in his mind a few years ago, when he went to the rune shop on Qingyu Island to buy rune paper, he vaguely remembered the appearance of the senior brother who was still stuck in the Qi Refining Realm for several years, and he also remembered the surprised look he had at that time, but he couldn't remember his name.

For a while, Shen Shi suddenly felt some inexplicable emotion, and after being silent for a while, he smiled and said, "Let's have fifty sheets." ”

The guy raised his eyebrows, revealing a little stunned, and the few monks standing on the side also had different expressions after hearing this number at this moment, and they all turned their heads to look at Shen Shi. Especially the tall monk, who was already planning to leave, heard this sentence at this moment, his steps paused, and he slowly turned around, looking at Shen Shi with a little surprise, and at the same time, the corner of his eye swept over the rune paper on the jade plate, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
