Chapter 9 Three Wishes
In the evening, Zhou Shu opened the door and walked towards Qingxiafang City.
The city is brightly lit and it is the busiest time.
In order to attract customers, merchants use their own unique skills. Not to mention the constant shouting, many merchants use tricks to create various strange-shaped ice sculptures and sand pillars to attract customers to watch.
In front of an elixir shop, a cultivator even cut himself bloody with a knife, and then used the elixir himself to demonstrate the therapeutic effects. Everyone was dumbfounded.
However, the chain of the elixir fell off and he was swallowed three times in a row, but the blood continued to flow. The cultivator's face turned pale with anxiety, which attracted a lot of ridicule from the audience.
It was the first time Zhou Shu came to Xiuxianzhefang City. He was quite curious and looked everywhere, but he didn't stop.
Not long after, he found the place he was looking for, a talisman shop.
In front of the door hangs the ancient characters "Sanyuanzhai". The railings at the door are quite mottled and have a bit of an antique yellow color. It looks like it has been there for many years.
After entering the door, there was a faint woody fragrance lingering inside, which made me feel happy. A blue-shirted waiter came over with a smile and saluted, "Sir, if you are looking for anything, as long as it is related to talismans, we have it all."
Zhou Shu nodded slightly, "Let me take a look at the talisman."
"Could your guest be a talisman master?" The waiter's eyes lit up and his attitude became more respectful.
Talisman master, like alchemy master, weapon master, etc., is a unique profession in the world of immortality.
Talisman masters make talismans, alchemy masters refine elixirs, and weapon masters refine weapons...each has its own strengths, and they are all very popular. Compared with ordinary cultivators, they have a higher status. It's just that it's not that easy for cultivators to become these professions. Talent
, financial resources are indispensable.
Zhou Shu had no expression, "I just want to try my hand, I'm not a talisman master yet."
There was some disappointment in the boy's eyes, "Oh."
Zhou Shu smiled calmly and waved his hand.
He has been a genius for a long time, even if he doesn't understand anything, there is a faint sense of confidence in his movements.
Seeing Zhou Shu's confident expression, the clerk's heart warmed up and he said unconsciously, "It seems that the guest has a plan in mind! If the guest becomes a talisman master, our store can provide materials at a discount, as long as the talisman is sold to our store first.
That’s fine.”
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Easy to say, easy to say."
The waiter made a gesture and led Zhou Shu into the store.
He whispered a few words to the shopkeeper, who quickly came over and bowed his hands to Zhou Shu, "I am Hua Ruo'an, the shopkeeper of Sanyuanzhai. Little brother, you look very unfamiliar. You just came here.
Qingxiafang City?"
The shopkeeper in front of him was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Zhou Shu raised his hand and returned the courtesy, "Zhou Zhou Shu, it is indeed my first time here."
"Looking at your cultivation, you should have become a cultivator not long ago, right?"
Hua Ruo'an glanced at him and said with a smile, "When I first started cultivating immortals, I already had the will to follow the path. My little brother's ambition is really not small. I'm optimistic about you."
Zhou Shu looked indifferent, "Just trying it casually to make Shopkeeper Hua laugh."
Hua Ruo'an shook his head, with a sincere look on his face, "No, no, I mean it sincerely. There is a shortage of talismans in Qingxiafang City recently. If Brother Zhou succeeds in drawing talismans, he must sell them to a small shop."
What he said was indeed true.
Qingxiafang City is backed by the Qingyuan Mountains. Most cultivators rely on hunting monsters to maintain their practice. Things like talismans are also in short supply, but there are fewer and fewer talisman masters. Occasionally, they are poached by the sect.
The Shao Talisman Shop could not find a Talisman master to maintain its business, and it even closed down.
As the shopkeeper of a talisman shop, when I see cultivators who want to make talismans, regardless of their level of cultivation, I must first win over them. This is also the principle of doing business.
Zhou Shu thought for a while, chin slightly, "I'll do my best."
Hua Ruo applauded and smiled, "Haha, this is the best. Man, take Brother Zhou to see the talisman materials."
The waiter led Zhou Shu to the store.
This store is much larger than Zhou Shu imagined. In addition to the special talisman area, the talisman material area is also divided into three parts, filled with various materials.
"Sir, please take a look at the talisman brush first. The so-called beginning of the talisman path begins with the talisman brush. A good talisman brush is the most basic condition for drawing talismans."
The clerk pointed at the talisman pen on the wooden stand in front of him and boasted, "This talisman pen is called the 'Jingxin Brush'. You must have noticed that the body of the pen is made of second-grade nanmu, which is perfectly compatible with cultivators."
There will never be any obscure feeling in the spiritual power. The pen tip is made from the fur of the first-order demonic beast, the velvet rabbit. It is a cub of the velvet rabbit that has just turned one full moon. It is soft, strong, tough, and flexible, and the four elements of the talisman pen correspond to each other.
It’s all complete. Coupled with the careful refining by the master of weapon refining, Bu Shiren, it also comes with the rare talisman formation of ‘quiet mind’. Using it to draw talismans is absolutely comfortable and natural, and you get twice the result with half the effort!”
"It is indeed a good pen."
Zhou Shu waited for the clerk to finish speaking, and then praised him, "But how many spiritual stones is the cheapest talisman pen here? It doesn't have to be that good."
"This is the cheapest talisman pen, a must-have for beginners," the clerk nodded quickly, "Sir, you only need 400 medium-grade spiritual stones to get it. It's not expensive at all."
Zhou Shu was startled, feeling that he heard something unexpected. He pretended to be calm and said, "Um...man, are the pens for drawing talismans so expensive?"
The clerk was stunned, and his face turned a little pale, "The Talisman Pen is not an ordinary first-level magic weapon. It is very difficult to refine. The Talisman Master must also rely on the Talisman Pen to communicate and guide spiritual power perfectly, so as to draw the Talisman accurately.
Is it possible to draw a talisman with just a brush, and then can the talisman drawn be used? Sir, you are really joking."
"oh."
Zhou Shu nodded and thought about it.
That was what he originally thought. He could just use a brush to draw talismans, and the talisman brush was not in his consideration range at all, but now it seems that this is not the case.
If talisman pens are so expensive, then the requirements are a bit too high for him now.
Four hundred medium-grade spiritual stones are still the cheapest. The talisman pen is really not an ordinary magic weapon. One medium-grade spiritual stone is equal to a hundred low-grade spiritual stones. It is impossible for him to have so many spiritual stones. Unless he can
... Touching the storage bag on his waist, he shook his head again. He would not sell it until it was completely exhausted.
The waiter next to him was also thinking, and something strange seemed to be roaring in his heart, "How dare this guest officer know nothing and come to draw the talisman without any preparation?... It's really depressing. The previous love was really in vain.
Fortunately, I reported to the shopkeeper that I had discovered a future Talisman Master. Now the reward is gone and I have to be laughed at by others."
Zhou Shu paused for a moment, "Take me to see the talisman paper and ink first, and then we'll talk about the talisman pens."
I definitely can't afford a talisman pen now, but I can't give up just yet.
Most of the waiter's previous joy was gone, and he said feebly, "Okay."
"Sir, this is the talisman paper area. When you come to practice, just use the simplest one. Yellow sunflower paper is made of first-level yellow sunflower grass. One low-grade spiritual stone contains five pieces. The spiritual power it contains is not
There are many, but it can adapt to most talismans..."
Zhou Shu nodded, "I want it, ten of them."
"Okay, ten pieces of Huangkui paper..." the clerk drawled, took out the talisman paper and wrapped it up.
"This is the Fu Mo area. You probably know, sir, that the Fu Mo contains a lot of spiritual power and is the most critical part of the talisman. The first time I draw a talisman, I usually draw a magical talisman. I use this kind of wind to draw the grass juice and
It’s a talisman made of cinnabar.”
After the waiter finished speaking, Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "No, I want the thunder-type talisman."
As soon as he finished speaking, not only the waiter was stunned, but also the guests in the Fulu District not far away turned their attention here.
Zhou Shu soon added, "The talisman made from thunder fruit is the best."
The two talisman drawing methods he knew were thunder talisman, thunderstorm talisman and thunder gun talisman. They were marked on the back, and it was best to use thunder talisman ink made from thunder-inducing fruit.
This time even shopkeeper Hua Ruoan was alerted and came over.
The guy next to me was already dead, and a voice in his heart was shouting, "You are a novice, and you still want to draw thunder talismans. Are you sure you are not here to tease me?"
Thunder-type talismans are extremely powerful, but the difficulty of drawing the talisman ranks among the top five among many kinds of talismans. The failure rate is extremely high, and most talisman masters do not dare to draw them easily.
Zhou Shu, a novice who had never drawn a talisman before, didn't even know what a talisman pen was, yet he asked for thunder-based talisman ink and even talisman ink made from thunder fruits. This left the clerk completely speechless.
