After accepting the magical weapon, Hou Jiuming didn't stay long. After all, he had just acquired the magical weapon, and he wanted to find a place to test its power quickly.
Ji Huan also expressed his deep understanding of this, and after being polite, he let him go.
…………
The moon is rising, the upper reaches of the Hua River, far away from Linjiang City, is a place without people or boats.
Hou Jiuming stepped on the jade bone boat, floating steadily above one meter on the river.
After he left Ji's grocery store, he immediately returned to the stall, closed the stall, and headed straight out of the city.
When we arrived at a deserted land, we naturally took out the jade bone boat.
Under the blessing of magic power, the jade bone boat expanded from a form that could be held in one hand to a white bone boat that was three meters long, one meter wide, and pointed at both ends.
The enlarged jade bone boat does not look as exquisite as when it was shrunk. The bones, hull, and planks of the boat can be easily distinguished as being made of bone.
In the middle of the ship, there are several grooves.
Judging from the size, it should be used to store spiritual stones.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a medium-grade spiritual stone, otherwise he would have to try it.
However, with the infusion of mana, the power of the jade bone boat also appeared.
Its speed is many times faster than the light body technique.
Standing on it, if you don't turn on the protection, your face will be blown and deformed.
Starting from outside Linjiang City, it was about forty miles to where he was now, and the time available was less than half a cup of tea.
From this we can see how fast this is.
After feeling the Jade Bone Boat, Hou Jiuming took out the Phantom Blade again.
With the blessing of mana, the Phantom Blade is like an elf in the night, silently hovering around it and slowly turning.
"Go~"
His consciousness noticed a fast-swimming fish, and Hou Jiuming gave a low shout. As if there was another half of the phantom blade, it shot away at a speed invisible to the naked eye under the cover of the night.
During this time, there was only a very slight noise.
If you don't listen carefully, you won't notice it at all.
"Pfft~" The moment he entered the water, there was a sound that penetrated the water.
With splashes of water, a stream of bright red blood spread in the water.
Afterwards, under the control of Hou Jiuming's spiritual consciousness, the Phantom Blade broke through the water and returned to him.
And it was only at this time that where the Phantom Blade originally entered the water, a one-foot-long carp that had been split in two from its mouth to its tail and had not completely lost its vitality struggled to surface.
"What a magic weapon!"
Even though he had already guessed in his mind, after the actual test, Hou Jiuming was still surprised by the speed and sharpness of the Phantom Blade.
When he looked at the carp that was split into two, the wound gradually changed color, and the body that was still twisting became stiff, he became even more satisfied.
"Whether it's speed, sharpness, or concealment, it's all beyond imagination. Next, let's look at the Thousand-fold Shield!" Thinking of this, his consciousness moved, and the Thousand-fold Shield stacked in the storage bag appeared instantly.
As soon as it appeared, a spell with rich spiritual light struck it.
"Buzz~" The thousand-fold shield, which was originally like a dead thing, seemed to come to life with the blessing of magic power. It buzzed for a while, and then repelled like a magnet.
Nine hexagonal diamond-shaped shields separated instantly and surrounded Hou Jiuming.
And after entering a certain position, they emitted a faint light and connected with each other to form a light curtain, shrouding him in it.
"Hahaha~" Just feeling the power emanating from it, Hou Jiuming laughed out loud.
Because this power is countless times stronger than the protective shield he held up by himself.
Next, he began to try the defensive power of the Thousand Layers Shield.
First, he took out the Green Bamboo Sword and instilled the mana in the later stage of Qi training, from the first level to ten to ten, as a test.
Forget it, the Thousand-fold Shield was indeed made by a famous master. Even if he used the Green Bamboo Sword at 100% power, it would only cause the light curtain to shake slightly.
He even used the phantom blade in the end and continued attacking for a while before he was able to break through.
It can be seen from this that the Thousand Layers Shield is indeed extremely powerful in defense.
After all, how can one be attacked continuously in a battle?
Unless you meet someone with a higher level than yourself.
But in that state, continuous attacks are not required.
After testing all the magical weapons, Hou Jiuming piloted the jade bone boat and flew happily on the Hua River for a while. He did not return to Linjiang City until he was satisfied.
After a night of silence, the next day, Hou Jiuming prepared a batch of high-quality talismans and planned to sell them to Ji's grocery store at a low price.
After more than a month of deductions, the current level of primary talismans has already reached the proficiency level, and the success rate of mid-level talismans has reached 60%.
If you draw ten pictures, six will be successful.
This is only mid-range.
Elementary high-grade talismans have increased from a pitiful 1% at the beginning to 20% now.
He now has more than a hundred high-grade talismans stored in his storage bag.
If it weren't for the distressed materials, this number would only be higher.
After everything was ready, Hou Jiuming locked the door and went straight to Fangshi.
During the day, there are still some people around Tianhua Temple.
In order not to attract attention, he observed for a while before entering the market.
Compared to the market at night, it is much deserted during the day.
After Hou Jiuming entered, he went straight to Ji's grocery store.
He had made an agreement with Ji Huan last night that a batch of talismans would be sold during the day.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the door, Ji Huan greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Hou, you really kept me waiting."
"Really, I came here early in the morning." While joking, Hou Jiuming entered the grocery store, and under Ji Huan's false guidance, he sat on the tea table.
As soon as he sat down, Ji Huan couldn't wait to say, "Have you brought the talisman? Take it out and let me see it."
Hou Jiuming understood his eagerness.
Talismans are an indispensable reserve material.
This is especially true for a family like theirs.
Because they not only have to ensure that the items in the store are complete, but they also have to use them themselves.
Therefore, the gap is much larger than that of ordinary people.
Now, Hou Jiuming sells a batch of them to them at a low price. If Ji can still succeed in the negotiation, then even if his cultivation level is low, he will be able to impress the family members.
It was precisely because of this that Hou Jiuming did not deliberately show off and directly took out the two hundred various mid-grade talismans he had prepared.
These are all the high-quality talismans he has in stock.
"Tsk~tsk~" Even though he had been prepared, Ji was still a little surprised when he saw so many middle-grade talismans, "Fellow Daoist Hou has hidden all the secrets. I didn't expect to take out so many middle-grade talismans at once.
It seems that everyone underestimates you."
Before that, even Ji Huan thought that although Hou Jiuming had become a mid-level Talisman Maker, he had only just stepped into it.
But now looking at the thick talisman in front of me, this idea has disappeared.
Being able to take out so many middle-grade talismans at one time shows that the other party is by no means as simple as coming in and out of a middle-grade talisman maker.
