Chapter 61: Buying Talismans

"Qiao Shijie... Qiao Shijie... Qiao Shijie..."

Tai Xu Sect, Xiuzhu Peak, Hongde Garden.

At the entrance of a gorgeously decorated main hall, an inner sect disciple wearing a dark green Daoist robe ran over in a panic.

The palace gate opened, and a woman wearing a red dress walked out.

It wasn't anyone else, but the granddaughter of True Person Yude, Linglong.

"What's wrong?" Linglong's pupils flashed with some displeasure.

The disciple said: "Qiao Shijie, didn't you ask me to watch He Pingsheng? He broke through to the seventh layer of Qi Condensation, and just now he went out..."

"Went out?" Linglong's pupils lit up and she said: "Great... where did he go?"

"Matou Mountain market!"

"However... he didn't go alone, but went with Zhao Linger, Xu Kunlun, and Tian Xiaoqing!"

Hearing this, the smile that had just risen on Linglong's face retreated immediately; she looked at the disciple in front of her and said: "I know, Junior Brother Qin, you go down first!"

"Yes!"

Junior Brother Qin bowed respectfully and left.

A trace of gloom flashed on Linglong's face immediately: "Damn it... actually went as a group? Forget it, I'll let you off this time; anyway, it won't be long before this Cuiping Mountain trial begins; since you've broken through to the seventh layer of Qi Condensation, you'll definitely participate in the trial, right?"

"Wait until you get to the trial ground, and this girl will deal with you again!"

"Let you know the consequences of refusing me, Linglong!"

Bang...

The tall red door of the side hall was slammed shut by her!

Two hours later, two yellow cranes landed at the entrance of the Matou Mountain market.

"Whoa... so many people!" Xu Kunlun looked inside and was startled.

He Pingsheng was also startled.

There were simply too many people here.

"I understand!" Xu Kunlun reacted instantly and said: "Look... the Cuiping Mountain trial is about to be held, these disciples are all here to prepare for the upcoming trial!"

Once said like this, everyone nodded.

This so-called Cuiping Mountain trial wasn't just participated in by the Tai Xu Men.

The entire Dao Xuan Alliance, dozens of sects, and hundreds of families were participating.

There were many people!

"Let's go, let's go... it's lively with many people, and there are many things!"

The four of them walked into the Matou Mountain market together.

Not only were there more guests here, but there were also more people setting up stalls.

"Let's go to the street stalls and take a look first!"

Xu Kunlun took the lead and walked toward the street stalls.

The so-called street stalls were stalls set up by individuals in the open space at the entrance of the Matou Mountain market; this thing occupied a very small area, just a piece of cloth.

And the stall owners were also messy, five flowers and eight gates.

There were loose cultivators from nearby, disciples from various families, and disciples from major cultivation sects.

"Do you want elixirs... very cheap... three spirit stones each..."

"Qi Gathering Pills, Qi Gathering Pills!"

He Ping knew this stall owner; years ago, he had even bought an incomplete cultivation technique from this person, which he later strengthened into the Qi-refining cultivation technique, 【Profound Heaven Meditation True Art】.

However, usually, couldn't these Qi Gathering Pills be bought for two spirit stones each?

How come the price went up?

He Pingsheng wasn't interested in these elixirs and continued walking forward.

Flying swords, magic tools, talismans, elixirs!

There were all kinds of items, and he even saw people selling treasure bags and selling wine.

There were even people setting up stalls on the street selling 【Storage Bags】, such heaven-defying items.

That stall selling storage bags was surrounded by people; He Pingsheng swept out with a spiritual sense, but discovered that he couldn't see the stall owner's cultivation at all.

Needless to say, it was likely a Foundation Establishment disciple.

In such a situation of three layers inside and three layers outside, He Pingsheng used his spiritual sense, not afraid of others discovering it.

With so many people, who knows whose spiritual sense scanned over?

"Heavens, a storage bag!" Xu Kunlun looked with envy and said: "This is truly a good thing; having this thing is much more convenient than a treasure bag!"

"Isn't it!" Zhao Linger also followed: "Unfortunately, it's too expensive; under normal circumstances, only those Foundation Establishment seniors can afford it!"

It wasn't that they couldn't afford it.

Mainly, the source of spirit stones for Qi Condensation disciples was limited, and limited resources should be placed on the blade to buy elixirs and other items that could improve cultivation.

So few people wasted spirit stones on storage bags.

Although storage bags were precious, they were just an auxiliary tool; they didn't help with cultivation itself.

"When I have money in the future, I will definitely buy one!" Xu Kunlun took his gaze back and looked at He Pingsheng: "Junior Brother He, I think you can consider it; you are an elixir refiner, and you elixir refiners are all oily!"

He Pingsheng smiled and said: "My spirit stones aren't enough yet, I'm already accumulating them; wait a few more years!"

Everyone chatted and laughed, walking all the way over.

He Pingsheng asked curiously: "What are you all going to buy?"

Zhao Linger said: "I want to buy a low-tier defensive magic tool!"

Tian Xiaoqing said: "Me too!"

Xu Kunlun said: "Master bestowed us some offensive low-tier magic tools back then, but defensive ones weren't bestowed, so we need to buy them ourselves!"

"However, defensive magic tools are the most expensive!"

"Let's see if we can buy one!"

"What about you, Junior Brother He!" Everyone looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng said: "I don't need defensive magic tools, I want to buy some talismans to try!"

"I heard this thing is very useful!" 【61-6

"Alright!" Zhao Linger said, "Then you go ahead and browse; we're going to check out the shops over there. Let's split up and meet back here later!"

The Matou Mountain market was bustling with noise and excitement, and any form of fighting was prohibited inside, so there was no need to worry about safety issues.

He Ping walked over to a street stall and squatted down.

This stall was not large, but it had many talismans laid out on it.

"Little brother, are you looking to buy some talismans?" The stall owner was a Daoist nun who looked to be about thirty years old.

He Ping said, "Uh... Senior, what kind of talismans do you have here?"

The Daoist nun smiled and said, "We are all Qi Condensation disciples, so let's skip the 'Senior' title; I can't handle that. I am a disciple of the 【Heavenly Talisman Mountain】!"

"I have some common talismans here, take a look!"

"This is a 【Fireball Talisman】, this is an 【Ice Needle Talisman】, this is a 【Binding Talisman】, and this is a 【Lightning Talisman】..."

He Ping asked, "How is their power?"

The Daoist nun said, "Take this Fireball Talisman for example; it is equivalent to the attack of a 【Fireball Technique】 cast by a seventh-layer Qi Condensation disciple!"

In plain language, it was just so-so.

Since the attack of a Fireball Talisman was about the same power as a common person's spell, why would anyone buy this thing?

It was very simple: instant casting.

Sometimes, when someone else's attack has already reached your head and there is simply no time to cast a spell, you can directly take out a Fireball Talisman and slap it forward, which is equivalent to unleashing a single strike of power.

Additionally, when spiritual power is exhausted, these low-tier talismans can also be used for emergencies.
