"Mr. Ding, would you please take a look at this thing? Although this junior thinks it is a thousand-year-old elixir, I am not very sure. I hope that Mr. Ding will give you an identification of the year." Shopkeeper Tian said in a humble tone, and then Handed over the brocade box.

"Thousand-year spirit grass?" Ding Lao couldn't believe it when he heard the words, but he still took the brocade box.

"Please take a closer look! Is it really the thousand-year-old Huang Jingzhi?" Shopkeeper Tian said in a hurry, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

The old man didn't say anything, but squinted his eyes, looking intently at the shape, color and even texture of the contents in the box, and put the box under his nose from time to time, sniffing lightly a few times.

This medicinal herb was produced by Han Li, so he knew whether it was a thousand-year-old panacea, so he sat on the side with a calm expression all the time, turning a blind eye to the old man's actions. All he thought about was how to bargain with Wanbaolou.

Shopkeeper Tian, on the other hand, was the opposite of Han Li. He watched the old man's every move without blinking. complicated look.

Finally, Mr. Ding gently put the box on the table, then twirled his beard with his hand and closed his eyes for a moment of meditation, then opened his eyes, and calmly said in a very sure tone: Congratulations to the shopkeeper, this is indeed Huang Jingzhi, who is more than a thousand years old. , and it is a top-quality thousand-year-old medicinal herb that has not been unearthed for a long time, and its medicinal properties have not been damaged in the slightest. This old man can guarantee it! "

Shopkeeper Tian was overjoyed when he heard that, and then he sent the old man down the stairs, then happily picked up the box containing the spirit grass, and looked at it several times.

"Shopkeeper Tian, it's time for you and me to talk about the transaction!" Han Li saw that the other party seemed to have forgotten that the master of the spirit grass was still sitting at the side, so he couldn't help but reminded him.

"Oh... ah!... I'm so confused, I hope brother Li will forgive me!" After a moment of stunned shopkeeper Tian, he remembered that this spiritual herb didn't belong to Wanbaolou, and his face blushed slightly.

"Hehe, it's nothing! But how do you plan to trade, seeing that shopkeeper Tian likes this thing so much, I'm sure you won't disappoint me!" Han Li said with a light smile, slightly pushing the other party.

At this time, shopkeeper Tian's expression returned to normal, and he put the things in his hand back on the table, and said: "Since Brother Li can take out the thousand-year-old spirit grass, he must not be an ordinary immortal cultivator. Then I don't need to do business." If you have lied to my brother, I will give you a fair price!"

When he said this, he thought about it for a while, and then continued in a very sincere tone: "This spiritual grass can be exchanged for any two treasures in the brocade box that I have shown Brother Li, or it can be exchanged for the treasure in the last brocade box alone." Things. If you still don’t like it, then this building can also sell the spirit stone that you are absolutely satisfied with. Buy the spirit grass. Brother Li, what do you think?”

Han Li sensed the sincerity in the other party's words, and after tossing and turning in his heart a few times, he also felt that the price was reasonable, and it didn't exceed his limit, so he secretly agreed with half or eight percent. But before that, he still wanted to see what was in the last brocade box

But before Han Li opened his mouth, shopkeeper Tian lifted the lid of the last brocade box tactfully, pushed it in front of Han Li, and said with a smile: "This box contains the treasures of the town building of this building." Treasure. However, it depends on whether you know the goods or not!"

Han Li's curiosity arose. He looked into the box and was stunned. Inside the brocade box was a solitary talisman with a pattern of a long golden brick painted on it. It was glittering and lifelike.

After seeing this object clearly, Han Li's mind kept spinning, and he immediately thought of his talisman with the small gray sword painted on it. Could it be the same thing

"Treasure Fu?" Han Li took a deep breath and asked uncertainly.

Shopkeeper Tian's astonishment flashed across, and then he said in surprise: "I didn't expect Brother Li to recognize this thing! It stands to reason that few cultivators know about this treasure. You really see it a lot, brother." I am so knowledgeable, I admire you!"

After hearing this, Han Li smiled wryly, then shook his head, and sighed: "Your Excellency thinks highly of Li, this talisman is only famous, and very little is known about it. But since shopkeeper Tian can If you take this thing out, you must know a thing or two about talisman treasures, and I hope you can enlighten me!"

What Han Li said was true. He really wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly understand the ins and outs of the "Treasure Talisman", so as not to be confused all the time.

Shopkeeper Tian looked at Han Li in surprise. He felt that this was not something that needed to be kept secret, but that few people knew about it, and it was not worth offending the big customers in front of him. Everything about "talisman treasures" was revealed.

The "treasure of talisman" really has a lot of origin, it is actually a strange item that can only be made by monks above the alchemy stage.

It is a high-level monk who forges a magic weapon. It seals part of the power of the magic weapon into a special talisman, which allows other cultivators to temporarily use the power of the magic weapon. It has the dual characteristics of both a talisman and a magic weapon. , known as the "pseudo magic weapon" by immortal cultivators who know its existence, and is highly sought after by them.

This kind of "false magic weapon" is very special. To make it, a monk above the alchemy stage is required, but to use it, any level of immortal cultivator can do it. Even an immortal cultivator with three or four levels of cultivation techniques like Master Jin Guang killed by Han Li can use it to a decent degree.

It's just that the immortal cultivators before the Foundation Establishment Stage don't know the art of condensing, and using talisman treasures can only exert one-two tenth of the power of talisman treasures, which doesn't seem to be much higher than top magic weapons.

After the establishment of the foundation, the immortal cultivator can use the method of condensing the mind and mind, and can fully display the power of the "talisman". Although the power cannot be as earth-shattering as the real magic weapon, it is enough to despise all others Instruments and the like. Therefore, all monks after the Foundation Establishment Period hope to have a "Treasure Talisman", which will give them the upper hand in the battle and make them look down on others.

Although the power of the "treasure talisman" is astonishing, the power of the magic weapon in it will be consumed continuously when used. If the power is exhausted, the talisman will be completely useless. Therefore, how to control the use of the magic weapon's power is a problem that should not be underestimated.

In addition, the production of "fubao" is not a simple matter.

Because the magic weapon is originally something that can only be refined by monks in the alchemy stage, not only is it rare in quantity, but also has to be tempered day and night in the monk's true essence to increase its power, so it is not easy to show it to others, so let alone use it. What kind of "treasures" did it make

You must know that making a "talisman" is equivalent to a self-destructive behavior that divides a part of the power of the magic weapon. Every time a "talisman" is produced, the owner of the magic weapon has to be tempered for a long time before the power can be refined again. But it is a typical behavior of benefiting others at the expense of oneself. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no monk above the alchemy stage would do such a stupid thing.

But as the saying goes, things are impermanent. Refining "talisman treasures" is a seemingly stupid act, and most high-level monks will do it crazily before the deadline. The purpose is to leave a considerable amount of help to future generations or younger generations.

You must know that the magic weapon left by the predecessors, after a long period of condensing and then being inherited by others, the new owner will not be able to fully unite with the magic weapon, and the original magic weapon will lose most of its power. Only when the alchemy stage is reached. Otherwise, you can only stare blankly at the magic weapon without being able to use it. In this way, rather than leaving the magic treasure intact, it is more suitable for their descendants to refine the "talisman treasure".

However, there are many restrictions on refining "Treasure Talisman".

First of all, the power of the magic weapon that can be sealed by each "treasure treasure" can only be one-tenth of the power of the magic weapon at most, and it can only be reduced and cannot be increased. Therefore, even if the "talisman" is sealed according to the same magic weapon, its power is uneven and different.

Secondly, refining the talisman will not only reduce the power of the talisman, but also cause the owner of the talisman to lose a lot of vitality, so it is impossible to continuously refine the "talisman". Every time a talisman is refined, the owner of the magic weapon has to rest for three to five years before recovering his vitality. This is assuming that he does not waste his true energy and does not plan to refine the magic weapon again, otherwise the time will be even longer.

Therefore, such scenes often appear in the world of cultivating immortals.

The most valuable thing left by a high-level monk before the deadline is a magic weapon with greatly reduced power and several "treasures" that seal the same power ", this has to be said to be a very helpless thing!
