"The guy at the talisman shop is right. It really can't work without a talisman pen."

Zhou Shu threw the brush aside and sighed.

There are more than a dozen brushes scattered on the ground, all of which he made in the past two days. In the past, he was very familiar with brushes, and he could make them quickly and well. In the past world, these would have been considered high-quality brushes, but in this world

In terms of drawing symbols, they are completely useless.

Because they cannot accept spiritual power at all.

The brushes are made of ordinary materials and cannot communicate with spiritual energy. They are like a blocked water pipe that cannot allow spiritual energy to flow through. How can it be used to draw junius_sam patterns and communicate with talisman ink and talisman paper?

Zhou Shu was a little frustrated.

The method of drawing the thunderstorm talisman has been deduced thousands of times in his mind. The talisman pattern is deeply engraved in his heart. Every key point is clear. He is 80% sure that he will succeed in drawing the talisman the first time, but there is no talisman.

Pen, unable to write.

"I can only try my luck in Fangshi again."

After passing through the city center, Zhou Shu walked towards the free stall area.

In addition to large and small merchants, Qingxiafang City also has many small vendors, including casual cultivators and ordinary people. Most of them sell goods in the corners of the city, similar to a market. There is a mix of fish and dragons here, and occasionally you can find some good things.

, but the order is also very chaotic. A casual cultivator like Zhou Shu who is at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm may be deceived and intimidated at any time.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, he wouldn't have come here.

In a place like Sanyuanzhai, the cheapest talisman pen costs one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones. There is no way he can afford it, but here, he still has a slight chance of buying it.

But after looking around for half an hour, I found nothing. Talisman pens are really not that easy to find.

Suddenly, Zhou Shu took a few steps quickly, and his eyes stopped on a spread out yellow cloth.

On the yellow cloth, there is a large stack of talisman paper, several bottles of talisman ink, and nearly ten pens of various kinds placed beside it.

The pen seemed to be covered by a blinding formation, with only a small part exposed, making it difficult to see clearly.

Although so many talismans may seem strange, in a place like this, if there is only one chance in a thousand, it is worth stopping and taking a look.

When the stall owner saw the customer, he immediately stood up and greeted him warmly, "Hey, little brother, just come to my place. You can pick whatever you like!"

The stall owner is about thirty years old, and his cultivation is at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm. He has a loyal face and a diligent manner, but there is a hint of cunning in the corners of his eyes.

"Thank you, I just want to take a look at the talisman."

Zhou Shu nodded and was about to pick up a talisman pen and take a look.

"etc--"

The stall owner stretched out his hand to cover the talisman pens and said with a naive smile, "Little brother, don't blame me, Old Zhu, for being nagging. These talisman pens are magic weapons and are very precious. It would be difficult for me if I accidentally break them."

Zhou Shu raised his head and stared at him, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I'm just taking a look, it won't be damaged."

"Okay, little brother, just watch it. The ugly thing is ahead. If it is really damaged, you will have to pay for it."

Lao Zhu moved his hand away, with a faint smile on his face, thinking to himself, he will make another profit today.

These pens are not talisman pens, they are just ordinary brushes disguised, and he also set up some ingenious mechanisms inside the pens. As long as Zhou Shu inputs the spiritual power test, the brushes will immediately break and break into several pieces, and then

He took the opportunity to make a claim again.

He had used this trick many times, and novices fell for it from time to time. The Zhou Shu in front of him was obviously a newcomer, and he looked like he was also a casual cultivator, so it was best to deceive him.

However, Zhou Shu picked up the talisman pen and really only looked at it before putting it back.

Lao Zhu looked stunned, "Little brother, why don't you give it a try? If you don't try the talisman pen, you won't be able to tell whether it's good or bad."

"No need." Zhou Shu stood up, shook his head and smiled.

He saw the expressions of the stall owners one by one, and he had already noticed something strange. When he picked up the talisman pen, he almost burst into laughter. There was almost no difference between this and the one he made himself. Even the material was the same.

Green bamboo, the most common wolf hair, there is no need to try it.

That deceit is completely used to deceive people.

"Hey, little brother, this talisman pen is only sold for five middle-grade pieces. If you don't buy it, you will lose a lot!"

Things that are worthless are worth five mid-grade. The hearts of profiteers are really not that ordinary.

When Lao Zhu saw Zhou Shu was about to leave, he suddenly became anxious. After waiting for several days, he finally waited for a new person, but he was still not fooled. How could this work? He grabbed the talisman pen that Zhou Shu had taken and input a little spiritual power.

Snap, the pen immediately broke into three pieces.

"Why is it broken? You must have broken it just now. Pay me the spiritual stone!"

Lao Zhu strode to Zhou Shu and shouted angrily.

A chill flashed through Zhou Shu's eyes, and he looked at Lao Zhu calmly, "If you can't cheat, why don't you just rob me?"

Lao Zhu had a sinister look on his face, staring at Zhou Shu, and released his spiritual pressure without any concealment, squeezing towards Zhou Shu.

"My talisman pen was made by a master refiner, and you broke it like this, and you still want to leave? Stop blabbing, there are five middle-grade spiritual stones, and you can't even think of leaving if one is missing!"

A crowd of people had gathered around, pointing at the two of them.

"Lao Zhu, that black-hearted man, is bullying newcomers again. He is really used to it."

"I bet that kid can only hold on for five breaths before asking for mercy."

"Looking at how poor he is and how little he has gained, Lao Zhu is really hungry and not selective about what he eats."

The spiritual pressure rushed towards Zhou Shu's face, and Zhou Shu's body felt uncomfortable. The force came from all directions, and he was like a small boat in the storm, being blown around.

But he tried hard to persevere.

He knew that although it was a chaotic place, it was not unattended, so Lao Zhu did not dare to actually kill people here. The most he could do was apply pressure and intimidate.

Perseverance will bring about a turnaround.

Lao Zhu was a little annoyed. Every time like this, the newcomer couldn't stand the spiritual pressure and would beg for mercy and pay for it within a few breaths. But this guy is really tough.

It seems that I need to add more spiritual power.

Lao Zhu activated his spiritual power with almost all his strength, and his spiritual pressure immediately increased several times.

The air in front of the two people seemed to be a little distorted, as if transparent smoke was rising, becoming blurry.

Beads of sweat began to ooze out of Zhou Shu's forehead, and waves of irresistible force pushed desperately into his body. His body seemed to be torn apart, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Lao Zhu had a look of pride on his face and yelled, "I tell you to be tough, but no matter how hard you are, you have to lie down for me! I will let you go if you pay me the spiritual stone!"

But Zhou Shu's expression remained indifferent. He was as stubborn as bamboo, he would rather break than bend and be unyielding.

In the past, he would not have looked down upon opponents at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, but now he was unable to resist. This humiliation made him very uncomfortable.

A pair of eyes with a chilling coldness stared at Lao Zhu indifferently, and a few words quietly popped out of the corner of his mouth, "I won't give even one."

Lao Zhu suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a chill that penetrated his heart and spleen seemed to have penetrated directly into his bones. He involuntarily took a step back, but quickly stepped forward again, his face flushed and he roared,

"A kid at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm can't even withstand spiritual pressure, yet he dares to speak so brazenly, I will destroy you now!"

He raised his hand.

At this moment, he was not completely bluffing, but actually had a hint of murderous intention. Because from Zhou Shu's eyes, he saw not only unyielding and hatred, but also an unspeakable feeling, like a ghost, which made him feel

Deep fear.

"What are you doing around here!"

Several cultivators in blue shirts patrolled over, their eyes piercing through the crowd like knives, and they said in a cold voice, "I've given you a place to set up stalls, and you're still causing trouble here?"

Lao Zhu quickly retracted his hand and bowed to several cultivators, "It's okay, it's okay, we were just joking, how dare we cause trouble?"

"You know the consequences of daring to violate the rules in Qingxiafang City."

The crowd of onlookers also quickly dispersed, not daring to stay for a moment. They knew that these blue-shirted cultivators were all law enforcement disciples of Qingxiafang City. Although their cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining Realm, they could not be messed with.

In such a big place, Zhou Shu was soon the only one left.

All the clothes were soaked with sweat, as if they had been soaked in water, and there was a pool of sweat on the ground.

Zhou Shu glanced at Lao Zhu who was leaving, thoughtful in his heart. He also clearly felt the murderous intention before.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.
