Chapter 37: Fu
Originally, Lin Xuan planned to go back to the post house to eat, but on the way, he was attracted by a stall and stopped, in fact, it was not only him, there were many people in front of this stall.
What kind of treasure can attract so many cultivators, with curiosity, Lin Xuan walked over.
The stall owner was a naïve young man, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, surrounded by so many people, obviously a little nervous, his face was flushed, and there were all kinds of talismans on the stall.
The talisman refers to the cultivator sealing the spell in a specific rune paper, so that when facing the enemy, it does not need to consume spiritual power, but also can be instantaneous, and the benefits are obvious.
For high-level cultivators, talismans are nothing, but for low-level cultivators, they are very valuable and applicable, especially for enemies, one more talisman can sometimes tilt the balance of victory.
But correspondingly, the production of runes is very complicated, not only to specific rune paper, but also to consume a lot of spiritual power, and the success rate is not high, the more advanced the spell, the more difficult it is to make, so the rune is also a rare and precious thing in the cultivation world.
Lin Xuan walked around the market for two hours, and he didn't see any talismans for sale, but he didn't expect that there were so many in this stall, and after a rough count, there were nearly a hundred.
No wonder it attracts so many cultivators.
Lin Xuan squeezed to the front, but after seeing the talisman clearly laid out, he was greatly disappointed, the talisman sealed with high-level spells had never thought that it could be bought here, not to mention for the time being, there was not a single talisman with mid-level spells.
The talismans sold are all low-level spells of sealing, and even among the low-level spells, they are the lowest-level, the most entry-level ones, such as ice bullet technique, flame technique, quicksand technique, rolling stone fall, thorn technique, etc., the variety is rich, but these spells are low-level monks at the first level of the agility period, and they can also be easily cast, so what's the use of buying them?
So don't look at the crowd of so many people, but none of the monks are willing to buy, and after a long time, a voice finally said in a mocking tone: "Stallholder, how do you sell these talismans?"
The young man's face turned even redder, his head lowered, and his expression made everyone else anxious: "Two pieces of the lower grade marrow washing pill." ”
"Hmph, this kind of low-level spell can be cast easily, and it is so expensive, I want to go crazy thinking about pills. ”
The crowd also laughed and dispersed, and the young man's face turned even redder, sighed, and began to clean up the stall, he had been here for two days, but he still hadn't bought a single talisman.
It's not that low-level talismans are really useless, in fact, they are still a good choice for self-defense for cultivators with low mana, and there are two reasons why they are difficult to sell.
First of all, the monks in the foundation building period will definitely not buy it, because they don't look down on this kind of low-level spell at all, and naturally they are not willing to spend the spar or elixir in vain, secondly, if it is a low-level cultivator in the spirit period, although they can also cast the spells in the talisman, but after all, it consumes spiritual power, and the speed is slow, and there are good talismans of course they want it, but the problem is that they are poor, they have more than enough heart and insufficient strength, so they can only eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.
In other words, this kind of low-level talisman is not wanted by high-level monks in the foundation building period, and those in the agility period cannot afford it, or they feel that it is not cost-effective, so they fall into the embarrassing situation of not pleasing both ends.
This honest young man is actually a low-level disciple of Daofu Mountain, and from the name of the sect, you can hear that the monks of this sect are good at making talismans.
These talismans were all made by himself, but they were limited to shallow cultivation, and could only seal some lowest-level spells.
The young man actually wants to sell the talisman cheaper, so that he can sell it quickly, but the problem is that talisman making is not an easy job, not to mention that it requires the consumption of specific talisman paper, as well as precious materials such as demon beast blood, and the success rate is not high.
These nearly 100 talismans have already cost him all his net worth, and two talismans and one pill are really not expensive, the cost price.
But the problem is that this kind of low-level talisman is a chicken rib and is not easy to sell.
The young man came earlier than Lin Xuan, and set up a stall for three days, and there were countless cultivators onlookers, but none of them were sold.
Frustrated, plus it's time to eat at noon, close the stall.
During the whole process, Lin Xuan didn't say a word, but he had other plans in his heart, he wanted to buy these talismans, for no other reason, although the low-level spells were rubbish, as long as there were enough of them, they would be overwhelmingly smashed, and they would have great power.
For example, if these nearly 100 low-level talismans are used at the same time, even if they are masters in the early stage of foundation building, they will be in a hurry, and even if they can't hurt the enemy, they can buy enough time for themselves to escape.
Of course, in the cultivation realm, except for Lin Xuan, no one would have such luxury, with the ability to purify, what Lin Xuan lacked, and there would be no shortage of pills, one pill or two, it was a very simple matter for himself.
However, Lin Xuan didn't buy it immediately, because taking out fifty marrow cleansing pills at a time was too attention-grabbing, so Lin Xuan wouldn't do such a stupid thing that might lead to disaster.
If you want to buy it, you have to be a little more secretive.
With such a plan in mind, although Lin Xuan dispersed with the other monks, he did not go far, but wandered around the neighborhood casually, of course, his mind was all on the talisman making stall.
It didn't take long for the honest young man to pack up in frustration and prepare to leave the square, and Lin Xuan followed silently.
After leaving the bazaar, there were suddenly fewer cultivators around, Lin Xuan saw that no one was paying attention to the surroundings, and quietly hid behind a big tree, and then took out an item from the storage bracelet in his arms.
This is a film-like thing, with people's facial features painted on it, lifelike, this is not a treasure in the cultivation realm, but a thing commonly used by people in the secular martial arts - a disguise mask.
As the name suggests, after bringing it, you can change the appearance of the person, so as to achieve the purpose of secrecy, although in the cultivation realm, there are more advanced means, and some exercises have the effect of changing shapes, but with Lin Xuan's current cultivation, there is no way to learn it at all, so he has to retreat to the second.
This mask was purchased by Lin Xuan on the way to Lingyun Gate in the world, this is the first time he has gone far away to participate in the gathering of cultivators, of course, he must be well prepared, and the facts have also proved that Lin Xuan's mind is really not in vain, this disguise mask is about to come in handy.
