Chapter 1439: Purchasing Talisman Materials

Um, the Lu Materials Pavilion is to the right of our street, about fifteen streets away; as for the distance to go forward, it's about ten li.

Upon hearing that, the guide named Xiao Rong repeatedly visualized the route in his mind, then immediately pointed north and outlined the general route to that place.

Then hold on tight.

Having obtained the approximate location of the Lu Materials Pavilion, Lin Feng waved his hand and, taking the guide with him, rushed northward.

Afterwards, no need to say more; under his swift flight, in the blink of an eye he crossed the ten-li distance and appeared at a crossroads.

Meanwhile, Xiao Rong stared at the street that suddenly appeared before her, and quickly kept turning her head to recall the situation in this area.

Soon, she pointed to the most conspicuous five-story building beside the crossroads and said, "Mr. Xiao Yan, that is the Lu Materials Pavilion."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng looked up and indeed saw on the topmost floor of the five-story building a plaque engraved with the three gilded characters "Lu Materials Pavilion".

Immediately, he lowered his gaze and examined the doors of floors one through five.

Through observation, he discovered that the upper two floors of the Lu Materials Pavilion currently have no one entering or exiting.

As for the third floor, the number of people there is also relatively scarce.

However, the entrance and exit of the lowest two floors are extremely bustling.

Almost every second, there is a constant flow of figures coming and going.

Even behind them, there are people queuing up waiting to enter.

And this scene clearly shows that the Lu Materials Pavilion is extremely busy.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, it is said that in the Lu Materials Pavilion only the first floor can be freely entered and exited, while the second floor requires a cumulative expenditure of one hundred thousand low-grade spiritual liquid to enter. As for the third floor, one needs to spend one million low-grade spiritual liquid to enter. The higher floors follow the same pattern: in short, starting from the second floor, each higher floor requires ten times the cumulative spending to gain entry."

Meanwhile, Xiao Rong, seeing her boss observing the customer flow of the Lu Materials Pavilion, immediately stepped forward and shared the information she knew.

"Oh, no wonder the fourth and fifth floors have no one at all; ten million and one hundred million low-grade spiritual liquid—only those renowned forces in the Eastern Region would probably spend that much."

Upon learning this rule, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel somewhat amazed.

The fifth floor of the Lu Materials Pavilion requires a hundred million low-grade spiritual liquid!

And after absorbing such a huge amount of spiritual liquid, I could at least break through several stars of strength.

Afterwards, Lin Feng slightly shifted his gaze and swept his eyes over the bustling first and second floors again.

Immediately, he turned his head and asked, "Can customers who haven't spent anything enter directly and then spend enough amount?"

"Uh, Mr. Xiao Yan, I recall that's not allowed."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Rong's expression changed slightly; after cautiously glancing at the man beside her, she then spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"Isn't it possible?"

Seeing that the most direct solution was impossible, Lin Feng let out a soft hum and then calmly said, "Well, it seems we can only start from the first floor."

As soon as his words fell, he immediately, with a smile beside him, turned into a stream of light and shot forward.

Thereafter, he slowly entered along the queue at the entrance of the first floor of the Lu Materials Pavilion.

However, upon entering, Lin Feng discovered.

This place differs from the trade house he previously visited; it is not a place that values privacy.

At a glance, the interior of this huge building is filled with rows of transparent crystal counters.

Roughly estimated, there are no fewer than several hundred.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, the trading method here differs from some trade houses; we need to pick suitable items ourselves, then call the shop assistant behind the outer cabinet to settle payment and take the items."

Having said that, Xiao Rong immediately pointed and continued explaining: "Outside here are the lowest-grade first-grade talisman materials; the counters further back have material grades that gradually increase. On the first floor, the highest-grade material is third-grade talisman material, corresponding to the Pellet Formation Realm. Between each first-grade counter there is a three-zhang-wide passage separating them, while a normal passage is two zhang."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng's gaze swept over the interior, and in a few flashes he arrived before a counter.

Looking at the astonished clerk behind the counter, he said, "How are first-grade talisman paper and ink sold?"

As for the way of talismans, he had already learned a lot from the information obtained from Liuxi's storage bag.

Therefore, regarding what he needed to buy, he naturally would not feel confused.

And the talisman paper and ink he mentioned are actually two important materials that constitute talismans.

Talisman paper is the body of the talisman, carrying the energy sealed by the talisman master inside.

As for talisman ink, it is like the human circulatory system, responsible for transporting and controlling the energy in the talisman paper, determining how it bursts forth!

Of course, besides that, making talismans also requires a talisman brush.

Such a talisman brush serves as the bridge between the talisman master's body and the talisman during creation.

Through it, the talisman master can successfully seal a certain elemental technique into it.

Then, when needed, it can burst forth violently!

However, since Lin Feng already obtained a talisman brush from Liuxi, I...

Therefore, I now naturally have no interest in looking at these anymore.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Lin Feng's voice, the clerk who had been astonished by his amazing speed finally reacted.

Immediately, she hurriedly explained: "The worst is one drop of low-grade spiritual liquid for two sets, while the better is one set."

"Give me five hundred sets of good materials, configured according to the several popular types of first-grade talismans on the market."

Having said that, Lin Feng directly flung out five hundred drops of white spiritual liquid and a low-level storage bag.

Seeing that, the clerk hastily bowed slightly and then checked whether the spiritual liquid's condition was qualified.

Afterwards, she quickly turned and went to the material pile placed in the open space behind the counter to select items.

After all, the materials on the counter are not many; gathering five hundred portions would leave nothing left.

Therefore, to avoid frequent restocking,

they usually take the materials here for orders with larger quantities.

"Customer, here are your items and points card; please keep them safe."

Not long after, the clerk who had finished handling everything handed over a white card and a low-level storage bag.

Seeing that, Lin Feng inhaled to draw the items in, checked that there were no problems, then nodded and proceeded further into the shop.

And immediately after, in the area for second- and third-grade talisman materials inside, he went on a massive shopping spree, respectively purchasing a large batch of materials for second- and third-grade talismans.

Thus, he successfully managed to gather enough to reach the consumption quota of one hundred thousand low-grade spirit liquids.

After finishing these, he stood in the middle area of the first floor and asked, "Where is the staircase leading to the second floor?"

"Yes."

In response to his question, Xiao Rong, who was still immersed in shock, suddenly snapped out of it, quickly nodded, and answered truthfully.

"Alright, I got it."

Lin Feng lightly nodded, then, using his qi, brought Xiao Rong along, and soon stopped before the staircase guarded by four men.

"Gentlemen, to enter the second floor you need to spend one hundred thousand low-grade spirit liquids; please show your points cards."

Seeing the two people approach him, one of the four guards immediately stepped forward and clasped his hands.

Hearing that, Lin Feng took out his points card, which the shop clerk had already exchanged for a green one.

"Please."

Upon seeing the card in his hand, the several people quickly made way.

Seeing this, Lin Feng once again brought Xiao Rong and they vanished from the spot in an instant.

"What incredible speed!"

And seeing the man before them vanish before they could react, the several guards' eyes flashed with astonishment.

Such a level of speed—I have seen some strong experts display it before.

But for such a young cultivator to possess this kind of speed—

They have guarded this staircase for so long, yet this is the first time they have seen such a thing.

As for Lin Feng, he naturally doesn't have the leisure to worry about what those people are thinking.

After entering the second level, seeing the still-present layout of the downstairs infirmary and the bustling hall, he quickly, just as before, purchased a large quantity of talisman materials.

Then he once again grabbed the shocked, speechless Xiao Rong and rushed straight to the third floor.
