Vol 2 Chapter 4: Human heart

Outside the Shenxianhui shop, you can feel the difference, whether it is the crowds or the lively scene, it is far better than other places, and after really walking in, Shen Shi feels that his eyes are bright again, and only see this branch. The lobby is extraordinarily spacious, with bright windows and bright light. Many monks walk around among the many counters inside, looking or asking, their expressions vary from happiness to worry.
And in those counters, there are countless spiritual materials. Looking at it, there are many types and almost omnipresent. Although there are not all spiritual materials that can be related to cultivation, they are relatively ordinary and include most commonly used spiritual materials. Some of the spirit grass, spirit pills, formations, talisman and even magic weapons of the spirit, etc. can be seen here, and some rare and rare treasures can be seen from time to time, which has attracted the coveting of countless casual practitioners, of course similar to this The price of other treasures is amazingly high.
Just walked in the crowd for a while, looked at a few counters, and Shen Shi could see that the shops in the Shenxianhui were indeed much better than those on the street outside. The variety of spiritual materials is complete, especially There are some common and commonly used ordinary spiritual materials. With his insight and vision, he can see that the quality of the things here is higher than that of the shops outside, and after a round, Shen Shi has not found any fakes. Goods appear.
It seems that the immortal will be famous, and it is indeed well-deserved. But to speak of it, although the spirit materials of the Shenxianhui are genuine and of good quality, the price is compared with the impression that Shenshi has walked before, and it seems to be 10 to 20% more expensive than those in the foreign shops.
It is not surprising to think about it. The contrast between the two sides is so obvious. The small shops outside are no better than Shenxianhui in spiritual goods. Then the price is not lower. Where can this business continue?
Don't underestimate the little difference in the price. Among the monks in the world, the most number accounted for more than half of the total number of monks. They are all relatively embarrassed and difficult cultivators. Even if it is a difference in spiritual crystal prices, some people will care very much. , So there is a lot of business in the small shops outside. However, for many years, the best and most authentic spiritual materials have been in the Shenxianhui shops. This is a recognized truth in the Hongmeng cultivation world. Therefore, in many cases, only within their ability, most monks are still willing to come to the Shenxianhui to purchase Kind of spiritual material.
As far as Shen Shi is concerned, based on his knowledge and experience of various spiritual materials, as long as he has patience, he can also buy decent quality but cheaper things in those small shops outside. It’s just now. In Yuecheng, he wanted to buy the talisman paper, talisman pen, and other spiritual materials for making talismans, but it seemed that there was no other store to sell except for the gods' meeting here.
Turning his mind like this, he looked at the counters in this spacious and large lobby, and saw that on the counters, there were a lot of counters, elixir, magic weapons, etc., such as spiritual materials. It was really dizzying and some rare things. , Exuding spiritual energy and precious light, attracted countless surprises, and even his middle page could not help but stop and glance at it, which made people sigh that this would really know how many treasures and spiritual materials it has gathered, and this is just It's just one of their many branches. Reminiscent of the many branches of this huge chamber of commerce spreading across the vast world of Harmony, the financial and material resources owned by the Fairy Society in secret, thinking about it in depth, it is simply terrifying.
But these things are not in Shen Shi’s turn to worry about. What he thinks right now is to buy the much-needed talisman paper and talisman pen. After looking at four or five counters, suddenly his eyes light up, but I saw the word "Fulu" on a counter near the wall on the east side of the lobby.
Shen Shi walked over immediately, and saw that this counter was placed against the wall, and there was a person standing inside, wearing a gray long gown, with a kind look, and he should be the guy who took care of this counter. Compared with the most popular counters such as the elixirs, grass, magic weapons, and other popular counters, Fulu's popularity here is relatively deserted, and the reason is well known. However, Shen Shi glanced at it, and saw that there were four or five monks walking around in front of the counter. One or two of them would ask the guy a few words from time to time, and the guy smiled gently and answered questions.
Seeing Shen Shi walking to the counter, the guy turned his head and smiled at him, greeted him very politely, and asked him to take a look at first, and then the guests over there asked him something, he Hastily turned around to answer the question over there.
Shen Shi looked at the counter here, and saw that the front of the counter was actually made of transparent crystal, and the lower part was hollowed out. You can see that there are many kinds of finished talisman in it. There are many kinds of five element magic methods, including The six first-order five-element spells that Shen Shi knows now can see the finished talisman here.
Seeing the twisted and complicated runes on the yellow rune paper, Shen Shi felt cordial for a while.
In the long row of counters in front of him, there are almost all kinds of first-order magic talisman, and behind the guy, standing against the wall is a transparent cabinet also made of crystal. There were five or six layers of shelves, and many talisman urns were also placed, but after Shen Shi looked at it, he found that the talisman in the cabinet were actually second-tier and third-tier high-level five-element spells.
Shen Shi took a deep breath, looked at the high-level talisman in the crystal cabinet, his eyes could not help but become a little eager, but then he shook his head slightly and smiled secretly. The power of the second-tier five-element spells is completely different from the ordinary first-tier spells. It can already cause threats and damage to the cultivators of the condensed element realm. However, corresponding to these powerful powers, it is necessary to practice these high-level five-element spells. The effort and energy put in is also staggering.
There are so many sentient beings in the world of cultivation, and few people practice this five-element technique in depth, and they also have roots. When Shen Shi first practiced those first-order five-element spells, he also wanted to pass the Qi Refining Realm first, and when he reached the Ningyuan Realm, he had no plans to continue to practice higher-level Five-element Spells.
Only three years have passed, and so many ups and downs have been experienced in the middle. At this moment, when he saw these talismans again, he did indeed hesitate in his heart. As for these high-level talismans, although he looked eagerly, he had no intention of buying them. For one thing, these high-level talismans were far more difficult to make than the first-order ordinary talisman, so the price was also high and scary. The second-order talisman was anything you wanted. One is more than ten times the first-order magic talisman, and the only third-order talisman is hundreds of times higher, making Shen Shi speechless and shaking his head.
But the most important thing is another reason. Together with Fulu, if the monk doesn't know how to use this kind of magic, it will not be able to motivate the Talisman to cast the same spell. This restriction is extremely restrictive, so looking at this counter there are many kinds of talisman, but the monks who walked around actually saw the most widely spread talisman such as fireball and ice archery.
He watched here for a long time, and the guy at the counter seemed to have finally finished dealing with the verbose customer next to him. He walked up to him and asked with a smile, "This guest officer, do you want to buy some talisman? Our shop All the talisman in the store are made by the master talisman enshrined by this association. There is no problem with the quality. You can buy it with confidence."
When he smiled and said these assurance words, his tone was relaxed and natural, as if he was saying a matter of course, but in fact, all the people around, including Shen Shi, did not show any doubt in their expressions. The gods would The reputation of goodwill for thousands of years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, Shen Shi's purpose was not these talismans, so he smiled and said, "Is there any talisman talisman paper, uh, cinnabar?"
The man was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly he looked at Shen Shi with a strange look. The person who can manage the talisman counter naturally has an understanding of the Tao of talisman. Of course, he knows how difficult it is to make talisman. It's a matter, and the guest in front of him looks at most twenty or so, and looks young. It really doesn't look like a character who can make a difference in talisman.
Perhaps, this is another young man who doesn't know the heights of the sky and thinks too much of himself, thinking that he can master this talisman-making method by just learning it, and then earn countless spirit crystals by selling talisman?
However, the monks in the world are endless like the carp of the river, but I have never heard of how many people have succeeded in this way. As far as he knows, it is the masters of the masters who are enshrined in the gods. All of them have been immersed in this way for more than ten years or even decades before they can make a talisman, and the probability of failure is also not low.
However, even though I thought about this in my heart, this guy was still very polite and polite. The person who will come out of the gods has always been very educated to the guests. He nodded and smiled: "Yes, wait a minute. ."
Turning and walking to the very edge of the counter, I took out a large wooden box from the lowest level and opened it in front of Shen Shi. I saw that the mechanism in the box was exquisite, and it had several layers of lattices, which were filled with shapes, colors and materials. They all had slightly different talisman pens, and then he bowed his head down again, went to the other side of the counter and went to a jade plate with talisman paper of various colors, which was also placed in front of Shen Shi.
Afterwards, he showed a polite and gentle smile, looked at Shen Shi, smiled and said: "Our store's goods are all here, you can see what you like, just choose it."
The other monks who were also watching the goods at this counter beside Shen Shi turned their heads at the same time and looked at him at the same time. They are also monks, and they don’t know what they mean by buying talisman paper. Over time, those monks looked at Shen Shi with different expressions. They were surprised and surprised, and some shook their heads in amazement, but more often, they were obviously contemptuous and mocking. Among them was a monk who was tall and looked half a head taller than Shen Shi, even He laughed directly, with a sneer beside him, and said with a sneer: "Boy, don't have too much appetite when you are young. It's so easy to walk on this road of cultivation. Be careful if you fall to death if you are not careful."
Shen Shi frowned, turned his head and glanced at the tall monk, wondering why this person was so ignorant, and cursing people to death when he opened his mouth. However, he was calm and cautious. In addition, he was in a peculiar situation at the moment, and he was about to wait for someone from the sect to come and pick him up. There was really no need to go too far, so after a moment of indulgence, he didn't bother to pay attention to this person, and turned his head as if he hadn't heard. Come, ask the guy: "What material are these talisman pens made of, and what are the prices?"
The guy was also patient and explained to him in detail by pointing to the talisman in the wooden box, while the tall monk was glanced at by Shen Shi but ignored the past as if it were air. He also seemed to be grumpy, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. , Snorted coldly, and then looked at Shen Shi's eyes, and there was a bit of disgust.
Shen Shi listened to the guy's introduction for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he picked two bi-peach wood talisman pens from the wooden box. This type of talisman pen was stable and tough. Although it was not of high grade, it was not as famous as the precious woods. , But it is very suitable for making low-level talisman, and the pen quality is also suitable for a large number of drawing talisman.
When the guy introduced the talisman pen, he actually focused on the talisman pen made of several famous woods. The boasting words in the rhetoric are very pleasant, because the famous woods are expensive, and the made talisman pens are naturally expensive. However, after seeing that Shen Shi had selected the Bi Peach wood talisman pen, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and when he looked at Shen Shi, he was somewhat admired. Afterwards, he took out a porcelain bottle from the counter and handed it to Shen Shi, smiling: "This bottle is cinnabar. It is the shop's rules. Anyone who purchases a talisman will give a bottle as a gift, but if you need it later, you will need to purchase it with Lingjing. "
Shen Shi nodded. This rule is almost universally recognized in the cultivation world, and he understands it, so he asked: "If you buy cinnabar again, what is the price?"
The guy glanced at him and thought that a bottle of cinnabar can draw at least fifty talismans. If the success rate is higher, it can even reach sixty. But even if those talisman masters make talisman, this bottle Cinnabar has been able to be used for a few months, and I thought that this kid is still too high-spirited, not knowing the height of the sky.
However, he didn’t need to remind others of these words. He just smiled and said:
Although cinnabar is not a valuable thing, but our association always pays attention to quality, this cinnabar is actually thicker and purer than other places. If the official wants to buy it again, one spirit crystal can buy three bottles."
Shen Shi curled his lips, thinking that in the first floor of the sky, a spirit crystal could buy five bottles of cinnabar... But there is no other choice at the moment. He thought about it, and nodded: "Then buy again. Three bottles."
The buddy smiled slightly and didn't say much, but he leaned over and took out three bottles of cinnabar. By this time, the gazes of the cultivators next to him were full of mockery, as if they saw one. Big fool.
The guy put away the wooden talisman box, and then took the jade tray with the talisman paper of various colors, and said, "Then these talisman papers?"
Shen Shi's gaze swept away and saw that the talisman paper in this jade plate was neatly arranged in piles, and there were also several colors. Among them, most of them accounted for more than half of the talisman paper. It was yellow talisman paper, basically all of them. The order Fulu is painted on this yellow paper. In addition, there is also green talisman paper, which is prepared for the second-order talisman, and a stack of orange and blue talisman paper. It seems that the spiritual energy is very strong and unique. This jade There is quite an outstanding appearance in the plate, but it is blue talisman paper, which is prepared for the extremely rare third-order talisman.
I have to say that this fairy club is really strong, even a branch, there is such a rare thing.
However, Shen Shi's current strength is naturally unable to touch these high-end spiritual materials. After he nodded, he pointed to the numerous yellow papers and smiled: "I buy this."
The guy smiled, with such a look, and then smiled and took out a stack of yellow talisman paper, looked at about 20 or so, smiled and asked: "How many do you want to buy?"
Shen Shi thought for a while. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the situation in his mind several years ago when he went to the talisman shop on Qingyu Island to buy talisman paper. He vaguely remembered the brother who had been stuck in the Qi Refining Realm for many years. He still remembers how he was surprised at the time, but he can't remember his name.
Suddenly, Shen Shi sighed with inexplicable emotion. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Come on fifty sheets."
The guy raised his brows, revealing a look of stunned expression, and the cultivators standing aside, after hearing this number, looked different at this moment, turning their heads to look at Shen Shi. Especially the tall monk, who was already planning to leave. Hearing this sentence, he paused in his footsteps, and then slowly turned around, looking at Shen Shi with a little surprise, at the same time there was a light from the corner of his eyes. Passing over the talisman paper on the jade plates, a faint greed flashed in his eyes.
