Chapter 33 Buying a Talisman

"Who knows what to do? He is a Jindan-stage master. You should pray that you won't run into him after leaving the grassland." Wang Miao had no other options. Zhang Pa was optimistic: "It shouldn't be that serious. He was just smiling at me."

"Let's hope so. Otherwise, don't attend the auction. This place is not far from Tianlei Mountain. You should hurry back to the mountain to save your life!" This was a last resort, but he knew it wouldn't work as soon as he said it. It was too easy for a Jindan-stage master to track down a foundation-building disciple. If he left the grassland, he would probably die in less than half an hour. After thinking for a while, he said, "Forget it. You stay in the grassland. After the auction is over, I'll let Dad take you back to Xianyun Valley. He should give Xianyun Valley a chance. Some face, can't act rashly. "

While they were talking, Wang Yuan, Wang Ying and his grandson were all there. Wang Yuan interrupted and said, "Can uncle agree? Xianyun Valley has never caused trouble in the martial arts world, especially to offend a master of Jindan. "

Zhang Pa was also thinking about countermeasures. Seeing that several people were in trouble, he smiled and said, "Someone from my sect will come in a few days. It's okay, you don't have to worry." Wang Miao then opened his frown: "Yes, yes, I forgot that you are a disciple of Tianlei Mountain. Haha, then it's okay."

After a while of talking, Wang Miao and others thanked Zhang Pa for the gift of the sword again and bowed and left. Zhang Pa was left alone in the world. He offended Wu Laoguai and could only pray that his uncle from the sect would come.

With money on him, he ran to the market early the next morning. He wanted to find a disciple of Wanfa Sect to learn how to make talismans. Strangely, not long after entering the market, someone pointed at him, and many of them were very angry. Zhang Pa didn't know the reason and couldn't figure it out. What was even more strange was that there were those who hated him and those who were friendly. Someone came running over to ask, "Good morning, Senior Brother. Do you have any magic swords for sale?"

Zhang Pa realized that the ones who hated him were probably the disciples of the Weapon Refining Valley, because he was selling magic swords cheaply, disrupting the market price and affecting their interests, so they must be displeased with him. He smiled bitterly, and accidentally offended someone again.

The man was still asking, "Senior Brother, please sell me a magic sword cheaply. Several of my fellow disciples have one." Zhang Pa shook his head, "No more." At this time, several more people came running over, also asking for swords, and Zhang Pa rejected them one by one in distress. Someone was not giving up and suggested: "Brother, I will provide the materials. Can you help me refine it? I will give you the labor fee, how about fifty spirit stones?" Zhang Pa refused, but the man still did not give up: "Sixty spirit stones, no, seventy spirit stones should be fine."

Before Zhang Pa answered, he found that there were more disciples of the Weapon Refining Valley around him, all staring at him angrily. A big black man said coldly: "You can sell things, but don't go too far!" His words were full of threats.

Zhang Pa knew clearly that if you sell things cheaply occasionally, of course no one will interfere, and many people will call you an idiot and a money-loser; but if you sell in large quantities, it will affect the livelihoods of the low-level disciples of the Weapon Refining Valley. Of course, they will be angry, so he smiled and said: "Sorry, I don't sell things or refine weapons. I'm here to buy things." As he said this, he got out of the crowd and looked for a stall selling talismans. The disciples who were looking for the sword dispersed with disappointment after hearing what he said. The angry expressions of the disciples in the Weapon Refining Valley subsided slightly, and some of them snorted at Zhang Pa, meaning that you should know what's best for you.

Zhang Pa didn't want to buy a talisman, but the method of making a talisman. Although the Wanfa Sect was established with talismans and was proficient in this art, it didn't mean that others couldn't do it. The advantage of the three major sects is that they have summarized countless experiences of their predecessors, greatly improved the success rate when refining, improved many details, conducted experiments on refining multiple materials, and even found substitutes to form a general and comprehensive method of cultivation. They also have unique experience in refining high-level items and the effect is huge.

In fact, alchemy, refining, talismans, and even array formations and other strange cultivation techniques are studied by people in any sect. The main reason why they are difficult to develop is that they are too expensive and ordinary people can't afford it. Alchemy requires herbs or demon pills; refining tools requires casting materials, demon beast skin bones, spirit stones, jade and other items; talismans require jade and demon beast skin; arrays require blood, either one's own blood or demon beast blood. Although cinnabar can be used instead, the effect is far worse; all of the above are not easy to find, and the higher the level, the harder it is to find. To put it another way, even if the materials are complete, there is still the risk of failure in refining. Therefore, in Yue State, apart from the three major sects of refining, which are powerful and use refining instead of cultivation, few people practice refining.

Zhang Pao doesn't care about these. He simply wants to learn more to save his life! So he is considering how to impress the disciples of the Wanfa Sect and let them teach the method of refining talismans. With this idea in mind, he strolled around and looked back and forth at the disciples who sold talismans.

Not long after, he focused on a thin young man. The young man was wearing a gray cloth robe, not tall, innocent and thin, with an ordinary appearance, and five low-level talismans in front of him. The talisman is as thin as paper, slightly smaller than the palm, yellowish in color, and slightly old. Zhang Pa walked forward and picked up a piece to look at. There were several loops on the surface of the thin talisman, which should be the mark of the spell inside the talisman. There was a black star mark in the upper right corner.

The young man was very enthusiastic: "Daoist, you want to buy a talisman? Take a look. The one in your hand is the Fire Dragon Spell, which is carefully refined with the skin of the monster red wolf. It is extremely powerful."

Zhang Pa looked at the young man. With his high-level Qi Refining cultivation, could he use the Fire Dragon Technique? Could he catch a red wolf? If he was not lying, it should be a weak Fire Snake Technique and the skin of a red wolf cub. The Fire Dragon Technique and the Fire Snake Technique are actually the same magic, just like water, a large one is called a sea and a small one is called a lake. Zhang Pa did not expose it, and asked the price: "How many spirit stones are you selling for?"

The young man replied: "Eighty spirit stones."

This price scared Zhang Pa, and he thought: "Is it more expensive than the fine iron sword I sold?" He didn't know that after the sword selling incident yesterday afternoon, he had successfully been crowned as a sucker and became famous in the market.

Zhang Pa held the talisman and probed into his mind. The fire attribute was full of spiritual energy. The young man said, "No need to check. You can tell by looking at the appearance. Look at these three spiral patterns, which show that the talisman spell is the Fire Dragon Spell. Look at this black star, which shows that it is the best one-star talisman."

Talismans are divided into seven levels. After the talisman is refined, it will automatically show convex pattern marks and star marks on the surface of the talisman according to its spell characteristics and power. The more stars there are, the higher the level and the stronger the power. The color of the stars is the same, from white to black to show the strength of the magic. The most common ones are one-star to three-star talismans, and four-star talismans occasionally flash. As for talismans above the five-star level, it is rumored that they have the power of ten thousand thunders and can fill the sea and move mountains, but they have never been seen.

After the young man called the price, Zhang Pa didn't speak for a long time. The young man stared at him closely, trying to guess his intention, but Zhang Pa's face was calm and he couldn't see anything. The young man was worried that the deal would fail, so he lowered the price and said, "If you think it's too expensive, I can give you another five spirit stones. How about selling it to you for seventy-five spirit stones?"

Zhang Pa was thinking about how to get the young man to teach him the magic of refining talismans. He was still thinking about it. When he heard the young man lower the price of the talisman, he couldn't help but laugh secretly. Can you bargain without saying anything? He put down the Fire Dragon Spell and picked up another one, a gray one-star talisman. He looked at the mark and didn't know what spell it was. He asked casually, "How much spirit stones is this one?"

"This one is cheaper, the Ten Thousand Arrows Spell. The monster skin used to make the talisman is of a lower grade. Sixty spirit stones." The young man answered as soon as he opened his mouth, very skilled.

After asking one after another, he looked at all five talismans and didn't say which one he chose. The young man was a little anxious and asked, "If you really want to buy it, you can get a lower price."

Zhang Pa shook his head slowly. He didn't want to ask any more questions. He said directly, "I want to learn the magic of refining talismans. If you can tell me one or two, I will buy all these talismans."

The young man was a little surprised when he heard this. How can you buy goods like this? But if the five talismans were sold, he would have money to collect materials for further cultivation, and he felt a little moved.
