Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 75: Jade Talisman

Views:

This is a flying sword.

The material is dark red, the hilt is very long, and there is a strange pattern on it, like black leaves.

The two times he came before, he also saw people selling treasures unearthed from ancient cultivators’ caves. The materials were very similar, and most of them had such patterns on them.

Some people speculate that the ancient cave is actually the remains of a small sect, and the pattern is the symbol of the sect.

The stall owner was a bald monk. He must have used some means to conceal his cultivation level, so it was impossible to see through his cultivation level.

The other party glanced at Chen Lin, nodded and said: "Yes, it came from the ancient cultivator's cave, first-grade medium-quality, with slight flaws. If you want to buy it, ten medium-quality spirit stones will be enough."

Chen Lin shook his head and put the flying sword back.

Ten medium-grade spirit stones, and there is a small gap on the flying sword, which is a bit expensive.

Seeing Chen Lin's actions, the bald monk laughed and said, "Daoyou, please don't compare the magic tools used by ancient cultivators with those used today. The magic tools of ancient cultivators generally have auxiliary effects. This flying sword can produce a soul-stirring sound after being activated, which can greatly disturb the enemy's mind in battle."

"Oh, there is such an effect?"

Chen Lin was shocked. If it had attributes, then the price would be really cheap.

He immediately picked up the flying sword again, poured his magic power into it, and then the flying sword began to vibrate and make a buzzing sound.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no soul-stirring effect as the other party said.

Chen Lin put away his magic power and looked at the other party.

The bald man said expressionlessly: "I've already said that this sword has flaws. It can only exert its full power after being repaired. If it were intact, how could I sell it for ten spirit stones!"

Chen Lin was speechless.

He threw the sword back angrily and planned to go to other stalls to have a look.

At this time, the bald man called him and said, "If you don't like the flying sword, you can still take a look at other things. All the treasures on my stall are from the caves of ancient cultivators. Look at this precious sword, and the defensive shield. There is also a earth escape talisman here. If you want them, I will sell them at a discount!"

"Earth Escape Talisman?"

Hearing about the earth escape talisman, Chen Lin turned his body back and squatted down again.

He had used the Earth Escape Talisman before, which was very useful. He had always wanted to buy one, but unfortunately he had never come across one.

"Where is the Earth Escape Talisman? Why don't I see any talismans on your stall? And how can a talisman be preserved underground for so long?"

After taking a quick look around the stall, Chen Lin didn't see a single talisman. He could not help but glare at the other party, thinking that he was being played a trick on him.

The bald man slowly picked up a piece of yellow jade in the corner.

"Yes, that's it. I told you that talismans are made of talisman paper. The ones used in ancient times were talisman jade."

"Jade Talisman?"

Chen Lin was stunned.

He had actually heard of such a talisman, but had never seen one.

But immediately, his face darkened and he said, "Even if it is really a talisman, it is broken into pieces. Can it still be used?"

The jade piece was covered with cracks. Not to mention using it, Chen Lin felt it would break even if he shook it hard.

These things of the other party don't seem to be obtained by himself in treasure hunting. It feels like junk collected from outside.

The bald man said seriously:

"It can definitely be used, but the effect may be a little worse. Moreover, the jade talisman of the ancient monks is not disposable, it can be used many times. The cracks you see are not caused by being broken, but by being consumed after being used many times."

Chen Lin sneered and didn't accept the other party's lies at all.

The goods on the stall have no quality assurance at all, it all depends on the buyer's eyesight, and there is no such thing as after-sales service. He doesn't know the quality of such things at all, so he doesn't dare to buy them.

"Forget it, you should keep it and sell it to someone else!"

After saying this coldly, Chen Lin got up and left.

"Three middle-grade spirit stones. Just three middle-grade spirit stones. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"Two pieces, two pieces of middle-grade spirit stones, take them away, Daoist friend!"

"One, a middle-grade spirit stone!"

"Buy one, get one free. In addition to this jade talisman, you can pick any other item at random. This is a bloody price. I guarantee you won't suffer a loss or be cheated!"

Seeing that Chen Lin was really about to leave, the bald man suddenly became anxious. He lost his previous coolness and shouted loudly.

Chen Lin's face turned dark.

This guy really asks for an exorbitant price!

It is probably just as he thought, that it is just the junk collected from the ancient cultivator's cave, and he is trying to fool people here!

Glancing to the side, I saw that there were quite a few stalls like this today, all selling defective products.

"How about ten low-grade spirit stones?"

Chen Lin picked up the jade talisman again. It would be nice if he could buy it at a low price as a research item.

He has never studied the ancient cultivators' things.

"Okay, since you are so sincere, let's be friends. Ten low-grade spirit stones are ten low-grade spirit stones!"

Wow, that’s too high!

When talking about ten medium-grade spirit stones and ten low-grade spirit stones, Chen Lin didn't know how to complain.

Could this guy have just guessed what he had

Although he knew he had been cheated, he had to buy it since the price had been given. There was no need to get into a dispute over ten low-grade spirit stones.

He took out the spirit stone, lowered it under the other party's cunning gaze, then turned around and left with the jade talisman.

"Fellow Daoist, don't pick another one. It will be cheaper!"

Chen Lin almost vomited blood, but he ignored it and continued to browse other stalls.

Then he saw many strange and peculiar things, all of which were priced exorbitantly, and he took advantage of every opportunity.

In the end, he picked and chose, and actually selected a few things, of course, they were all very cheap.

As someone with a "talent for production", he should explore a wide range of areas, and maybe he will come across something that can bring out his talent.

After buying some junk, Chen Lin walked around the store again, but unfortunately he was unable to find a suitable method for making talismans.

There are few such inherited items, and the raw materials are too expensive for him to use.

After leaving the market town somewhat disappointed, Chen Lin returned to his residence.

He decided that if the price of talismans did not go up after a while, he would leave.

However, the number of cultivators who have come here recently is too numerous, and if one travels to Pingyang City by land, one will have to pass by the ancient cultivator's cave residence near Maple Leaf Lake.

There are many people over there, and it is even more likely that you will encounter monks from Kaiyuan City. In order to avoid trouble, it is better to wait until the cave is explored and the monks leave before leaving.

As for taking the water route, he had never thought about it.

He suspected that the Duling River in the west of the city might be connected to the pond where he got the strange fruit. There was a dragon monster there that hated him to the core!

Without having to make talismans or refine puppets, Chen Lin had a rare moment of free time.

He makes elixirs whenever he has free time, and spends most of his time studying magic.

He had almost mastered the art of dodging, and was very flexible in dodging and evading. He also discovered that this spell was very suitable when used in conjunction with the Aurora Sword Technique. If used in close combat, the effect would probably be quite sharp.

In this way, the number of first-level spells he mastered reached nine.

Low-level exorcism skills, cleaning skills, dodging skills, and a stun skill.

The intermediate ones include the defensive Vajra Shield, the mental deterrence and spying techniques, and the five elements fireball and water arrow techniques.

It can be said to be very comprehensive.

For a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, mastering so many spells is already quite good.

Of course, except for the dodging technique, he learned all of them with the help of the enlightenment pill. Otherwise, it would take him several years to practice so many spells.

As for the first-level advanced spells, they can only be practiced in the later stages of Qi training, and the current mana is not enough to support them.
