Originally, Lin Xuan planned to go back to the post house for dinner, but his attention was attracted by a stall on the road and he stopped. In fact, it was not just him, there were many people surrounding the stall.
What kind of treasure could attract so many cultivators? Lin Xuan walked over with curiosity.
The stall owner was a naive young man, about 23 or 24 years old. Surrounded by so many people, he was obviously a little nervous and his face turned red. There were various talismans on the stall.
Talismans refer to cultivators sealing spells in specific talismans. In this way, when fighting enemies, they do not need to consume spiritual power, and they can be cast instantly. The benefits are obvious.
To a high-level cultivator, a talisman is nothing, but to a low-level cultivator, it is a very valuable and practical thing, especially against the enemy. One more talisman can sometimes tip the balance of victory.
.
But correspondingly, the production of talismans is very complicated. It not only requires specific talisman paper, but also consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and the success rate is not high. The more advanced the spell, the more difficult it is to make, so talismans are considered rare in the world of cultivation.
Precious things.
Lin Xuan walked around the market for two hours, but did not see any talismans for sale. He did not expect that there were so many stalls. 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 talismans clearly displayed, he was disappointed. Talisman that sealed high-level spells had never thought that he could buy them here. Put aside for the moment, there was also a talisman for mid-level spells.
nor.
The talismans sold are all sealed low-level spells, and even among the low-level spells, they are the lowest and most entry-level ones, such as Ice Bullet Technique, Fire Technique, Quicksand Technique, Rolling Stone Falling, Thorn Technique, etc.
, the types are rich, but these spells can be easily performed by low-level monks on the first level of the agility stage. What's the use of buying them?
So even though there were so many people gathered around, no monk was willing to buy it. After a long time, a voice finally said in a teasing tone: "Stall owner, how do you sell these talismans of yours?"
The young man's face turned redder and his head lowered. His expression made others anxious: "Two pills of low-grade marrow cleansing pills."
"Hmph, such a low-level spell can be cast easily, and it's so expensive. I'm going crazy thinking about elixirs."
Everyone laughed and dispersed. The young man's face turned even redder. He sighed and began to clean up the stall. He had been setting up the stall here for two days, but he still hadn't bought a single talisman.
This is not to say that low-level talismans are really useless. In fact, they are still a good self-defense choice for cultivators with low magic power. There are two reasons why they are difficult to sell.
First of all, monks in the Foundation Establishment stage will definitely not buy it, because they do not like this kind of low-level spells at all, and naturally they are not willing to spend crystal stones or elixirs in exchange. Secondly, if they are low-level cultivators in the Smart Stage,
Although they can also cast the spells in the talisman, it consumes spiritual energy and is slow after all. Of course they want useful talismans, but the problem is that they are poor, have more than enough ambition but not enough energy, so they can only eat a lot of food.
The grapes are said to be sour.
In other words, high-level monks in the foundation-building stage don't want this kind of low-level talisman, but those in the agile stage can't afford it, or they think it's not cost-effective, so they fall into an embarrassing situation where both parties are unhappy.
This honest young man is actually a low-level disciple of Daofu Mountain. From the name of the sect, you can tell that the monks of this sect are good at making talismans.
These talismans were all made by him, but his cultivation level was limited and he could only seal some of the 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 making talismans is not an easy task, not to mention that it requires the consumption of specific talisman paper, as well as precious materials such as monster blood, and
The success rate is not high.
These nearly a hundred talismans have cost him all his wealth. Two talismans and one pill are really not expensive at cost.
But the problem is that this low-level talisman is useless and not easy to sell.
The young man arrived earlier than Lin Xuan and set up the stall for three days. There were countless cultivators watching, but not a single one was sold.
Frustrated, and it was lunch time, I had to 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 low-level spells were rubbish, as long as there were enough and they were thrown down overwhelmingly, they would still have great power.
.
For example, if these nearly a hundred low-level talismans are used at the same time, even an expert in the early stages of foundation building will be in a hurry. Even if he cannot hurt the enemy, he can still buy himself enough time to escape.
Of course, in the world of cultivation, no one except Lin Xuan has such luxury. With the ability to purify, Lin Xuan will not be short of elixirs. One or two pills is a very simple matter for him.
However, Lin Xuan did not buy it immediately, because taking out fifty marrow cleansing pills at once would attract too much attention, and Lin Xuan would not do such a stupid thing that might lead to disaster.
You have to be a little secretive when buying.
With such a plan in mind, Lin Xuan dispersed with the other monks, but he did not go far, but wandered around casually. Of course, his mind was completely focused on the stall making talismans.
It didn't take long for the honest young man to pack his bags and prepare to leave the square. Lin Xuan followed behind calmly.
After leaving the market, there were suddenly fewer cultivators around. Lin Xuan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He quietly hid behind a big tree, then took a look in his arms and took it from the storage bracelet in his arms.
Take something out.
This is a film-like thing with human facial features painted on it, lifelike. This is not a treasure in the world of cultivation, but a thing commonly used by people in secular martial arts - a disguise mask.
As the name suggests, after wearing it, you can change a person's appearance, thus achieving the purpose of keeping secrets. Although in the world of cultivation, there are more advanced means, and some exercises have the effect of changing one's appearance, Lin Xuan has no choice but to use it.
There was no way to learn his current cultivation level, so he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
This mask was purchased by Lin Xuan in the secular world on his way to Lingyun Sect. This was his first time traveling far away to attend a gathering of cultivators. Of course, he had to be fully prepared, and the facts proved that Lin Xuan's thoughts were indeed not in vain.
