The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 46 Purchasing Talisman (please recommend, please collect)

As soon as he entered the Baibao Pavilion, a beautiful female cultivator came to greet him.

However, when she felt the aura of the late stage of Qi training faintly emanating from Xu Zhiyu, her pretty face immediately changed, and she quickly said to Xu Zhiyu politely:

"Fellow Taoist, what do you want to buy?"

"Is your manager here? Invite him over."

"I will help you ask our steward now to come and talk to you. Please wait a moment."

"Yeah" Xu Zhiyu nodded slightly.

When the beautiful female cultivator saw this, she immediately asked someone to come over and serve tea to Xu Zhiyu first. Then she turned and went upstairs to ask their steward here.

a while.

A middle-aged man came down from upstairs.

This person is the steward of the Baibao Tower, his name is Zhang Changnian, and he has a cultivation level of five floors.

When he saw Xu Zhiyu, he immediately said with enthusiasm:
  "It turns out to be Xiaoyou Xu. I wonder what you want to buy when you come to my Baobao Building?"

Xu Zhiyu is a frequent visitor here. In the past, the materials for drawing magic talismans were basically bought here, and the quantities were large, so he was basically the manager and received them, and they got to know each other after going back and forth.

When he came here before, Xu Zhiyu didn't deliberately hide his identity, so the manager directly addressed him as Xu Xiaoyou. Firstly, there was no need. What he bought were all commonly used materials, but in larger quantities. Secondly, this market belonged to a family of all kinds of arts, and with this big tree as its back, there were no secrets in the market at all.

Xu Zhiyu stood up first and bowed, without showing off. Hearing this, he said directly:
  "Senior Zhang, it's not convenient to talk here. Can you go to a quieter place?"

Manager Zhang glanced at the hall and found that it was full of people and was indeed not a good place to talk. Hearing this, he nodded and took Xu Zhiyu up to the second floor.

On the second floor of Baibao Pavilion, there is a tea room.

"Can you talk now, little friend? Is there another big business to take care of us?" Manager Zhang said with a smile.

"Senior Zhang, is there any talisman in your pavilion?" Xu Zhiyu asked directly when he saw that there were only two of them and the steward had activated the sound-isolating formation.

"Oh, of course we have this." Manager Zhang's eyes lit up after hearing this. This is a big deal.

"I wonder if I can take a look?" Xu Zhiyu asked eagerly after hearing the affirmative answer.

"Don't worry, let me explain the talisman to you first. This will also make it easier for you to make a choice."

"This couldn't be better. I'm all ears, junior." Xu Zhiyu will not miss the opportunity to increase his knowledge.

"A talisman is a golden elixir or purple mansion monk who seals part of the power of his talisman into a talisman and leaves it to his descendants. The user can activate the talisman in battle, thereby exerting a power equivalent to part of the magic talisman. A special talisman. If an ordinary monk can possess a talisman, he can almost become invincible in a martial arts fight in the same realm."

"This is a saying that is widely circulated in the market, and you must be aware of it. This statement cannot be wrong, but it is still a bit misleading. Now let me tell you in detail."

"Since the talisman is named after a talisman, it means that it is essentially a spiritual talisman, but it is extremely powerful. As a talisman maker, you must also know that since it is a spiritual talisman, it has a lifespan limit, especially for defensive talismans. obvious."

Xu Zhiyu didn't interrupt when he heard this, but just nodded. Then I heard Manager Zhang continue to say:
  "The same is true for talismans. A intact talisman can be used about ten times. If the power is exhausted, the talisman will be completely useless."

"At the same time, making talismans is not a simple matter. Magical treasures are so rare. They can only be refined and used by monks in the Zifu period, and the quantity is rare. Making a 'talisman' will cause the power of the magic weapon to be lost. Every time one is made, The owner of the magic weapon needs to re-temper it for a long time to recover it."

"Secondly, refining the talisman will not only reduce the power of the talisman, but also seriously injure the owner of the talisman. Therefore, it is impossible to continue to refine the talisman. Every time the talisman is refined, the magic treasure The master will have to rest for several years before he can regain his strength. This is assuming that he does not waste his true energy and does not plan to re-temper the magic weapon, otherwise the time will be even longer." "So, high-level monks before the end of the day, After making preparations for death, the most valuable thing left behind after death is often a magic weapon with greatly reduced power and several "talisman treasures" that seal the same power!"

"In addition, the power of a talisman varies greatly depending on the number of times it is used. Take the 'talisman' made by a monk in the golden elixir stage as an example. When it is first used, it may reach 50% of the power of the maker's full strength, and then it will gradually decrease. , by the last time, the power of the 'talisman' may only be the full blow of the monks on the fifth level of foundation building. If it was made by Zifuqi, it might be at the level of the first level of foundation building."

"It is so difficult to make a 'talisman treasure', so it is rarely spread in the world. Those who get it often regard it as a treasure and never want to show it to others."

"What is circulating on the market now are basically talismans made by monks in the Zifu period, and they have been used more than six or seven times. Like the legend in the market, some qi-training monks use 'talisman' to kill foundations, or even The news about Zi Mansion are all rumors. It’s not that there aren’t such powerful talisman treasures, but that kind of talisman treasures basically won’t escape.”

"Having said so much, little friend, don't blame me for talking too much. Little friend, please wait a moment while I go get the 'talisman'. Let me state in advance that we only have the talisman made by the Zifuqi monks here." After finishing speaking, Manager Zhang went to the treasure house to get something.

"Senior, go on your own. I'll be waiting here." Xu Zhiyu hurriedly stood up to see him off.

After a while, Manager Zhang appeared in front of Xu Zhiyu again, but with a few more brocade boxes in his hand. He walked to the table and laid out the boxes from left to right.

"My little friend, please come over and take a look." Manager Zhang called Xu Zhiyu after placing the brocade box.

Xu Zhiyu stood up and came to the first box. Manager Zhang immediately opened the box and explained:

"This is the Xuanyang Sword Talisman. The maker is a senior from our sect who has a cultivation level as high as the ninth level of the Purple Mansion. Once this treasure is activated, thousands of sword shadows will pour out. It is extremely powerful, but The power to open mountains and cut off water is a rare offensive weapon."

"Senior Zhang, how many times has this thing been used? How do you judge it? How powerful is it now? How much does it cost?" Xu Zhiyu was not moved by the manager's rhetoric. As a businessman, even if it is a rusty magic weapon, others will praise you lavishly. So although he was very excited, he still asked calmly.

"In its heyday, this treasure was enough to inspire a blow from a seventh-level cultivator of the Purple Mansion. As for the number of times the talisman has been used, it is not difficult to judge. Every time it is used, there will be an additional crack on the talisman. Nine is the ultimate number. After the tenth use, it turned directly into fly ash. This treasure has been used eight times. The ninth activation above is basically equivalent to a full blow from a monk on the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. The last activation is approximately equivalent to the full strength of a monk on the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. The first-level monk struck with all his strength. This item is worth three thousand spiritual stones."

Xu Zhiyu looked at the next two boxes without comment, and Manager Zhang continued to explain:
  "The golden light gun talisman was made by a senior monk on the sixth level of the Purple Mansion. When it was new, it was worth a blow from a second-level monk in the Zi Mansion. It has been used seven times now, and the eighth time it is used with the Xuanyang Sword Talisman. The power of the ninth time is very different. The ninth time is almost the same as the last power of the Xuanyang Sword Talisman. But the power of the last time is almost the same as that of a monk on the second level of Foundation Establishment. The price of this item is 3,500,000 spirit stones. .”

"The last talisman is called Haoguang Mirror, and it is a defensive talisman. The maker is unknown, and our Baibao Pavilion also collected it from casual cultivators. However, after careful identification by our appraiser, it is inferred that it should be from Zi The hand of a monk in the early stage of the mansion. When activated, it can form a light curtain. When activated brand new, it can withstand the all-out attack of a monk in the first level of the Purple Mansion for six hours. It has been used seven times now, and the eighth activation can block attacks from the fifth level of the foundation for three hours. The ninth attack can block an attack from a monk at the third level of Foundation Establishment for two hours. As for the last attack, it can only block an attack from a monk who has just entered the Foundation Establishment level for one hour. This item is worth two thousand spiritual stones."

After speaking, Manager Zhang did not urge Xu Zhiyu to make a decision. He just returned to his seat and picked up the spiritual tea to taste.

Xu Zhiyu said in his heart that he has learned a lot!

But this also gave him a hard time. He didn't know which one to choose. He looked at this one and looked at that one. He liked them all and wanted them all. But as soon as he touched the storage bag on his waist, his thoughts became lighter. I couldn't help but sigh: "I'm still poor!"

After a while, Xu Zhiyu made up his mind and said to Manager Zhang:

"Senior Zhang, I choose Xuanyang Sword and Talisman."

"Have you thought about it?" Manager Zhang confirmed.

"Think about it!" Xu Zhiyu said firmly.

"Okay, Xu Xiaoyou is also a regular customer. I have decided to give you a VIP token of our pavilion. If you bring this item to our pavilion for consumption, you will get a 10% discount." Seeing that the business has been completed, Manager Zhang said in a good mood.

"In that case, I'd like to thank you, senior." Xu Zhiyu bowed and saluted.

After delivering the spirit stone, Xu Zhiyu took the talisman and quickly returned to his room in the family's weapon refining shop.

He couldn't wait to verify certain things. If it was as he suspected, then, hehe!
