Chapter 11 The Ghost Market Purchasing Talismans

After Xu Dao left the stone house, he soon noticed a gloomy feeling in the air, he shuddered, and quickly stepped out of the place where the Dao boys lived.

After walking away completely, Xu Dao looked back and saw a little bit of ghost fire emerging from the ground, then floating on the slate, lining up, and drifting silently to the stone houses.

Xu Dao looked down, and clearly saw these ghost fires drifting by, and trails of water appeared on the ground, as if someone was walking wetly.

Xu Dao didn't dare to observe too much, he tightened the Taoist robe on his body, and then led the two skeletons to the courtyard in the White Bone View.

The Liaoyuan is the courtyard responsible for supervising the rules, inspecting the Quartet, and receiving foreigners in the White Bone View. It is also called the "Liaoyuan".

When Xu Dao went down the mountain, it was the task he took in the Liaoyuan, and now he still needs to go to hand over it again to receive the talisman money he deserves.

Fortunately, there are people guarding the courtyard at twelve o'clock a day, and Xu Dao is not in a hurry.

Xu Dao did not go to the brightly lit halls in the middle, but silently got into a dim small hall.

About half an hour later, he led the white bone skeleton out of the hall.

The task Xu Dao received three months ago was to help the Taoists in the temple deliver letters. The task was not difficult, but it was time-consuming and labor-intensive. It often took three to five months to get off the mountain.

This kind of task delays cultivation, and there are not many people who receive it, but the reward is relatively rich, which coincides with Xu Dao's previous thoughts.

He walked out of the dormitory and secretly touched his sleeve.

Xu Dao now has a total of twelve talisman coins in his hand, three of which are his original savings, three are regular coins that he has not received in three months, and the rest are quest rewards and scraps from the dead. of a coin.

This money is placed in the Daotong, and it is already considered a small asset.

In addition, there is a red-eyed fox in Xu Dao's hand, and he should get a few new talismans when he sells the flesh at the ghost market.

With these talismans, Xu Dao's next retreat and practice are also guaranteed.

As he combed through, his emotions were stirring, and he hurriedly led the skeleton to the trading location in the view.

Xu Dao could not wait to retreat, and then break through to the realm of qi refining in one fell swoop!

In the gray fog, he wandered around and slowly walked into a dark street.

As soon as he entered the street, the fog suddenly became thick. Xu Dao could see a lot of people coming and going around, stepping on and off in the fog, gloomy and gloomy, but he couldn't tell how many people were around.

This is the place where the Taoists and disciples in the White Bone Temple trade privately, the "Ghost Market".

This place is only open at night, and no one knows how long this foggy street is. They only know that everyone who comes and goes is ghost-like, taciturn, and there are even ghosts and ghosts that haunt the street from time to time. .

Many pale-faced Taoists walked past Xu Dao, all of them with a blank face, as if wearing a mask.

Xu Dao was also sullen at this time, swaying in the street like a dead man.

"Whee!"

Suddenly, a strange boy's laughter sounded in Xu Dao's ears, and when he turned his head, he saw a gray shadow fluttering.

It was a crow flying by with a boy's head in its mouth, and the head under the crow's mouth continued to laugh until it finally disappeared into the fog.

"It's not surprising that this is a ghost market." Xu Dao suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to walk through the street.

He walked with his head down, and the two skeletons around him followed suit, and the sense of horror it brought to others was not too much.

Simple stalls are randomly placed on both sides of the street, and the items traded on them include medicines, talismans, ores, vegetation, as well as the bones and fur of monsters.

It's not the first time Xu Dao has come here, but every time he sees all kinds of things on the booth, he is still amazed.

Because he was carrying a red-eyed white fox, many Taoists also focused on him and stared at the fox in his hands, but the Taoists were silent, and no one stopped him to ask.

Xu Dao walked along and saw a lot of spiritual materials that could be used as talismans.But although these things have spirituality, they are only fetal breath-level materials, and are only suitable for use by Dao children in the fetal breath realm, or for drawing fetal breath-level talismans.

And when Xu Dao came to the ghost city this time, what he wanted most was the spiritual material of the qi refining level, which could be used to make the talisman ink of the qi refining spell.

After he got the characterless jar, he tried many times, and he felt faintly that if he wanted to condense a rune, Qi-refining-level rune ink was essential.

If he only uses the rune ink of fetal breath level, he may be stuck in the last step of condensing rune.

As for Xu Dao, he has always been brave and diligent about cultivation. He didn't want to do it any more, and even delayed the time and made a big mistake.

Suddenly, Xu Dao paused and looked at something on a certain booth, "Ghost-faced scorpion venom!"

The deep black liquid was contained in a three-inch high jade bottle, which was as heavy as metal, and slowly released a breathtaking light.

Xu Dao of this kind of venom has heard people say that as long as ordinary people are scratched by this venom, their organs will rot and die in three breaths.

If a talisman is drawn with this venom, the poison talisman made can easily poison a monster in the Qi-refining realm.If the person who draws the talisman is careless for a while, it is very likely that he will poison himself.

In addition, Xu Dao glanced at the other things on the booth, and suddenly he breathed heavily: "Three-step snake bone, golden tortoise weasel body fluid, corpse canine teeth, red cloud pine resin..."

Most of the items on this booth are actually qi refining grade materials!

And one of the materials called "Red Cloud Pine Resin" is extremely suitable as a talisman. As long as it is mixed with cinnabar and ground evenly, it can be used to make most of the Qi-refining spells.

Standing in front of the stall, Xu Dao bowed slightly, pointed to the red cloud pine resin, and said, "I have seen the Taoist priest, what is the price of this item?"

The stall owner was closing his eyes and resting, his face was stabbed with strange runes twisted like tadpoles, from forehead to cheek to neck, everywhere.

This person has a deep temperament, and most of the materials on the stall are at the Qi refining level, so he must be a Taoist at the Qi refining level.

The stall owner heard the sound, so he slowly opened his eyes.Xu Dao looked over, and suddenly his eyes were stagnant, and he actually saw the rune in the other's eyes.

The white parts of this person's two eyeballs are all covered with rune veins that look like bloodshots, and they are densely packed like fine insects, which are quite strange and infiltrating.

"Is this stall owner a member of the Fuyuan?" Xu Dao speculated in his heart.

The stall owner didn't speak, just stretched out two fingers in reply.His fingers were also painted with runes.

When Xu Dao saw it, he pondered and said, "Twenty talismans?"

The stall owner nodded.

Seeing the other party's answer, Xu Dao's mood suddenly sank, and he asked about other materials on the booth, and suddenly found that as long as the materials on the booth were at the qi refining level, the price was not lower than fifteen talismans.

If Xu Dao had to buy Qi-refining-level rune ink, he would have to find a way to see if he could buy some leftovers.

He frowned secretly, "What if I buy some scraps and I can't even draw a complete rune?"

And even if he sells the red-eyed white fox again and spends money to buy Qi-refining-level Fumo, his retreat and practice will become a problem again.

The quiet room used for independent practice in the White Bone View also needs to be rented.

Xu Dao pinched his sleeve, and suddenly felt the poverty of being a mere Dao boy.

Just when he was tangled, Xu Dao suddenly heard an exclamation...
