Chapter 705: Purchase of Thousand-Year-Old Ebony
After returning to his residence, Xu Changshou had a good sleep. When he woke up the next day, he changed into Wang Hai's appearance and came to Dadongfang Market.
In two months, he would go to the surface world to hunt the thunder-horned rhinoceros. Before leaving, Xu Changshou planned to prepare some talismans for self-defense.
There are only a few types of talismans that need to be prepared: attack, defense, and escape.
As for the talismans for escape, one is the Wind-Turning Talisman and the other is the Flying Boat Talisman. Xu Changshou often buys the skin of the Earth Demon King with wind attribute, so he has no shortage of these two kinds of talismans.
Therefore, there is no need to prepare talismans for escape.
As for attacking talismans, you must be prepared.
Although Xu Changshou has the Sword Heart Talisman and the Thunder Heart Talisman, both of these talismans consume a lot of his own spiritual energy.
If there are only a few opponents, only one or two, the Sword Heart Talisman and the Thunder Heart Talisman can easily solve the problem. However, if you encounter groups of enemies, the Sword Heart Talisman and the Thunder Heart Talisman cannot be used.
In addition to the Sword Heart Talisman and the Thunder Heart Talisman, Xu Changshou also has many other means of attack, such as the Immortal Trapping Talisman, the Dao Breaking Talisman, and the Soul Sealing Talisman.
These kinds of talismans are all very powerful. No matter which one it is, with his current level of cultivation, it will be an unstoppable attack against the perfect demon cultivator of the Earth Demon King.
After considering for a long time, Xu Changshou finally decided to prepare more spirit-sealing talismans.
The Soul Sealing Talisman can seal the opponent's spiritual energy silently, making it impossible for him to use Taoism and spiritual energy. During the battle, any Soul Sealing Talisman can be used to easily defeat the opponent.
The reason why I plan to use the Soul Sealing Talisman is because it is not only powerful but also not easy to be discovered by teammates.
When the soul-sealing talisman seals a person's spiritual energy, only he himself knows that his spiritual energy has been sealed. As long as he does not say it, outsiders will not be able to see it.
His opponent this time is a demon. The demon cannot transform, so it cannot speak. Its spiritual energy is sealed, so it cannot speak.
The soul-sealing talisman was obtained by Xu Changshou during his Golden Elixir period. A third-grade soul-sealing talisman requires ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wood, while a fourth-grade soul-sealing talisman requires a special ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wood.
Therefore, in order to draw a spirit-sealing talisman, one must first have a special thousand-year-old spiritual wood.
Because the opponent is a thunder-horned rhino that can release lightning, you have to prepare some lightning-inducing talismans. The fourth-grade lightning-inducing talismans also need to be drawn with special thousand-year-old spiritual wood.
Finally, there are the defensive talismans.
There is no doubt that the best one is the fourth-grade Earth Shield Talisman.
The fourth-grade earth shield talisman requires the skin of the earth-attributed earth demon king to draw the talisman, and you also have to buy some earth-attributed earth demon king skins.
The skin of the Earth Demon King with earth attribute and the special thousand-year-old spiritual wood are two materials that must be bought. In addition, you also need to buy some sundries and daily necessities.
Xu Changshou strolled around the Dadongfang Market. After a short while, he had bought almost all the necessary sundries and daily necessities.
If you want to buy leather, you can go to Shopkeeper Ji. Xu Changshou came to Dadong Market mainly to see if he could find any special thousand-year-old spiritual wood.
In the Dadong Market, ten thousand year old spiritual wood often appears. Special ten thousand year old spiritual wood is extremely rare. The ones that can be seen occasionally are just scraps weighing one or half a pound.
Xu Changshou had bought some before, but they were almost used up.
"Huh? That's... Ten Thousand Year Old Ebony!"
Soon, Xu Changshou's attention was attracted by a piece of ebony wood.
This piece of ebony wood is only as thick as a child's arm and about half a foot long.
Xu Changshou took it in his hand and weighed it. It was very heavy. Such a small piece weighed ten kilograms.
I glanced at the stall owner, who was a young man of about 27 or 28 years old with a weathered look.
At this moment, the young man's eyes also fell on Xu Changshou, and he said with a smile: "My fellow Daoist, this is ten thousand year old ebony, do you want it?"
Xu Changshou put the ebony wood back in its place and asked casually, "How much?"
"Thirty thousand." The vicissitudes of life young man said with a smile.
"Thirty thousand, so expensive!"
Xu Changshou couldn't help but frown. The things on the stalls were all priced randomly.
This special thousand-year-old spiritual wood, which can be used normally, has a clear price tag. One pound is about two thousand medium-grade spiritual stones.
This one weighs about ten kilograms and costs about 20,000 yuan. He asked for 30,000 yuan, which is too expensive.
"Thirty thousand is too expensive, make it cheaper."
"Twenty-eight thousand."
"No, it's still expensive!"
Xu Changshou shook his head slightly and made a move to leave. The weathered young man quickly stopped him and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, how about 25,000?"
Xu Changshou still shook his head and held up two fingers: "The most I can offer is 20,000, not a penny more."
The weathered young man frowned, "Twenty thousand is not enough. Look carefully, this is ten thousand year old ebony, the main material for forging top-grade magical instruments. Let's talk about it, a random top-grade flying sword would cost more than a hundred thousand, right?"
"hehe!"
Xu Changshou smiled and said, "That's true, but the ebony you have isn't enough for a flying sword, so naturally it's going to be sold at a discount. Stop talking nonsense. If 20,000 is enough, I'll take it. If not, I'll go shopping."
"Okay, I'll sell it to you at a loss."
The weathered young man gritted his teeth and handed the thousand-year-old ebony wood to Xu Changshou. Xu Changshou readily paid 20,000 spirit stones and left.
After buying the ten thousand year old ebony, Xu Changshou left Dadong Market directly and came to the fur shop owned by Manager Ji.
Before entering the fur shop, Xu Changshou transformed himself back to his own appearance. Whenever he bought fur from Shopkeeper Ji, he used his own appearance.
Once you get to know someone well, it’s easy to talk to them.
Seeing Xu Changshou enter the shop, Shopkeeper Ji came out to greet him with a smile: "Xu Xiaoyou, welcome, welcome. Is it still the same old custom?"
"No."
Xu Changshou waved his hand and said with a smile: "This time I want the skin of the Earth Demon King with the earth attribute, and it has to be incomplete."
"Hold on!"
Shopkeeper Ji went deep into the counter and soon came over with a storage bag and handed it to Xu Changshou.
Then, he politely poured tea for Xu Changshou.
Xu Changshou took a look at the storage bag. Inside the bag, there were four or five pieces of broken leather, all of which were earth-attributed, some large and some small.
After a rough look, I found that the largest one was the skin of the black steel pig, which could hold at least a hundred talismans.
However, Xu Changshou used leather with earth attributes in order to draw earth shield talismans, but there was no need to draw so many earth shield talismans.
As your cultivation level increases, the power of the Earth Shield Talisman will increase, so no matter what stage you are in, you should not draw too many Earth Shield Talismans.
When his cultivation reaches the great perfection of Nascent Soul, the earth shield talismans he draws will be more powerful. By that time, the earth shield talismans he draws now will not be powerful enough.
But this time, we are carrying out a dangerous mission, so in order to be prepared, we cannot draw too little.
Xu Changshou planned to prepare thirty earth shield talismans.
When his cultivation reaches the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, he will also need this kind of talisman. He can prepare a few more, fifty in total, which will be enough for use during the Nascent Soul period.
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou picked up a smaller one. He secretly calculated that this one was more suitable and could probably cut forty or fifty talismans.
