After the cooling time of Energy Recovery Talisman passed, Li Yuan re-equipped it. The recovery bonus of Spirit Qi Backflow was put back, and the battery life of Talisman Making was restored to full status.
This afternoon, Talisman Making completed the task early, Li Yuan went out Station and walked around in the direction of Fangshi.
There are more people on East Street than half a month ago.
It's not just a little bit more, it's a whole new level.
The stalls were lined up from East Street to the end of East Street, with almost no space in between. Sheds were also set up in several side alleys, selling everything. The number of monks walking on the road was nearly twice as dense as before, some carrying storage bags, some carrying cloth bags, and a few mortals pushing carts squeezed among the crowd.
Li Yuan walked slowly along East Street, scanning the atmosphere of the monks coming and going.
Most of them are still Qi Refining Early Stage and the mid-term Rogue Cultivator, which is almost the same as before.
But there are a few obviously deeper breaths in it.
Qi Refining Late Stage.
At least three.
There was a man standing in front of the drug store at the entrance of North Alley, holding a cup of tea in his hand, talking to the shopkeeper about something.
The other one walked past Li Yuan, not walking fast, and glanced at the stalls on both sides without stopping at Li Yuan.
The third one was sitting in a newly opened shop in the middle of East Street. His breath was so low that he almost missed it if he didn't feel it carefully.
In the past, there were very few Qi Refining Late Stage monks in Fang City. Basically, only those from the Wang Family family were able to reach this level. Now you only see three of them on one street.
When passing by the Wu's Talisman Materials shop, the shopkeeper was talking to a Rogue Cultivator monk at the door. Li Yuan took a few steps closer and heard a few words.
"...Auction, the day after tomorrow."
Auction.
Li Yuan didn't stop to inquire and continued walking forward for a while. He heard a similar statement next to another stall.
"The day after tomorrow in the courtyard west of Fangshi. I heard that there are several rare materials, as well as Medicinal Pill who can assist in breakthroughs."
"Let's just watch the excitement, don't even think about buying it."
Li Yuan wrote down this information, turned around and walked towards Station.
Auction. Open the day after tomorrow. There are precious materials and breakthroughs Medicinal Pill.
No wonder there are so many people in Fang City, and several Qi Refining Late Stage monks have come.
Li Yuan wants to take a look.
But Auction has a problem.
The auction items were placed on the stage, and the bidders sat below. The items were unhandled and could not be seen or touched. He could not reach out and put his hands on them to check whether there was Affix like he did when visiting a stall.
Even if you hold up the sign and take a picture, it is not appropriate to touch the item immediately after you get it under the nose of a group of people.
When we returned to Station, Captain Wang happened to come back from outside.
The two met across from each other at the entrance of the courtyard.
Captain Wang walked a few steps toward the stone house, took out a folded paper page from his sleeve, and handed it over.
"Auction's list was given to me by Fangshi Steward's Office."
Li Yuan takes it and expands it.
There are more than thirty lots listed on the two pages. The starting price and brief description are marked behind each item.
The items at the top of the list are indeed ridiculously expensive. A Breakthrough Pill that helps Qi Refining Sixth Layer has a starting price of 600 Spirit Stone. A spirit medicine that can extend life for ten years has a starting price of 500.
These things have nothing to do with him.
Li Yuan Turn back.
The prices of the lots in the middle section have dropped, ranging from tens to one or two hundred Spirit Stone. There are various types of First-Order Law Artifact, Medicinal Pill, Cultivation Method, and mineral materials.
Captain Wang leaned against the wall and watched Li Yuan flip through the list.
"Except for the first few valuable items that have to go through the auction process, you can buy most of the rest directly if you want them."
Li Yuan looked up at him.
Captain Wang put his hands into his sleeves. "You are the Talisman Making division of Guard Squad, and your output has always been good. You still have some respect for this. You choose from the list, and I will have someone go to Steward's Office to get it for you at a price that is 20% higher than the base price."
Li Yuan is not polite, lowers his head and continues reading the list.
His eyes stopped on two things.
The first one, Fiend Detection Disk.
The description on the list is simple: after infusing spiritual power, the concentration and distribution of Fiend Qi within a certain range can be detected, and it is also effective for Fiend Qi hidden in objects or organisms. The starting price is thirty Spirit Stone.
The second piece, Azure Cloud Talisman Brush.
Description on the list: Made of Azure Cloud Spirit Wood, the pen tip uses Third-Order Monster Beast as the core, and the spiritual power transmission is extremely smooth. It is suitable for drawing First-Order Mid-Grade and above Talisman. The starting price is fifty Spirit Stone.
Li Yuan Write down the locations of these two items and close the list.
"Both of these." He turned the page to that page and pointed with his finger.
Captain Wang came over and took a look.
"Fiend Detection Disk and Azure Cloud Talisman Brush."
He nodded.
"Okay, a total of ninety-six yuan Spirit Stone."
Li Yuan counted out Spirit Stone from the storage bag and placed it on the stone table next to it.
Captain Wang gathered Spirit Stone, waved to a Guard Squad monk outside the courtyard door, and whispered a few words. The monk nodded, and quickly walked out of the courtyard door with Spirit Stone.
"I'll deliver it to you before tomorrow."
Inside the wooden box is Fiend Detection Disk.
The palm-sized copper disc is somewhat similar in appearance to Spirit Detection Disk, but the arrangement of Spirit Pattern on the disc is completely different. The Spirit Pattern of Spirit Detection Disk is the perception Spiritual Qi fluctuates, Spirit Pattern of Fiend Detection Disk is specifically for Fiend Qi. There is a dark gray pebble embedded in the center of the disk, and the surface is glowing with a very light purple light.
Li Yuan picked it up and weighed it. It was steady and the workmanship was much finer than Spirit Detection Disk.
It's a pity that there is no Affix.
Li Yuan puts Fiend Detection Disk into the storage bag.
Inside the bag is Azure Cloud Talisman Brush.
The barrel of the pen is slightly longer than any one used by Li Yuan now. It is dark blue in color, and the wood is delicate and moist. There is a layer of natural texture on the surface, which extends from the base of the pen to the tail of the pen like water waves. The pen tip is slender, and the core is made of extremely fine silver-white hairs, which is tighter than ordinary pen tips.
The touch feels calm and solid in the hand, and the moment the spiritual power pours into the pen barrel from the fingertips, the smoothness of the transmission is not on the same level as the pen I used before.
There is almost no attenuation of the spiritual power after it reaches the tip of the pen, and as much as it is poured into it reaches the tip of the pen.
Put your fingertips on the penholder.
[Equipable item detected: Azure Cloud Talisman Brush (complete)]
[Affix preview: Spirit Ink Efficiency Boost (white)--Spirit Ink's spiritual channeling efficiency is increased by 30% after infusion of spiritual power, and the stability of Spirit Pattern on Talisman Paper is increased by 20%]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Use this Talisman Brush to successfully draw five different First-Tier Superior-Grade Talisman (0/5)]
[The current Equipment Slot is full (5/5), do you want to replace the current equipment?]
White Trait. Spirit Ink Efficiency Boost.
The efficiency of spiritual guidance and the stability of Spirit Pattern are both improved.
Although it is a good thing to have Affix, Li Yuan feels like a toothache.
After being made permanent, the equipment disappears and you have to buy a good Talisman Brush again.
But this is far from permanent.
Li Yuan has no equipment, just use Azure Cloud Talisman Brush as a tool.
Spread out a piece of Green-Veined Paper, dip it in Spirit Ink with Azure Cloud Talisman Brush, and write.
Fireball Talisman.
The loss of spiritual power from the pen barrel to the pen tip is much smaller. When I used an old pen, the spiritual power would attenuate by about 10% from the fingertip to the pen tip, and then dissipate a little more when it reaches the paper. Azure Cloud Talisman Brush has almost no attenuation, and as much as it is poured into it will be reflected on the paper.
The drawn Spirit Pattern is clearer. The edges of the lines are sharper than before, the distance between Spirit Pattern and Spirit Pattern is more precise, and the quality of the entire rune surface has been visibly improved by one level with the naked eye.
The six paths Spirit Pattern are completed in one go, and the heart of the talisman is closed.
Good pen.
After Talisman Making finished, Li Yuan took out Monster Meat from the storage bag, grilled it, ate it, and then practiced cross-legged exercises.
The direction outside the window in the direction of Fangshi is busier than before, and you can hear voices and footsteps sporadically. Auction will open tomorrow, and the atmosphere in Fangshi is different from usual.
Li Yuan closed his eyes, Spiritual Qi poured into his body and sank into his Dantian.
