"Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Shen. I'll go fetch them right away," Taoxiang agreed, rising and heading out.
"You've collected the materials for the Minor Teleportation Talisman so quickly? Not bad. Just hand them straight to me. The Minor Teleportation Talisman is an immortal talisman, and with your talisman-making skills, the chances of failure are high..." Fire Spirit Child's voice rang out.
Shen Luo was not so proud or arrogant that he insisted on drawing the talismans himself. Since Fire Spirit Child had volunteered, all the better. He immediately nodded.
Taoxiang soon brought over the materials: two stalks of netherworld grass and three pieces of soul condensation stone, along with a considerable quantity of wind-floss vine and hundred-wheel flower, which were not particularly precious.
Shen Luo examined the spiritual materials. The netherworld grass was a small, silvery-gray plant, only half a foot tall and utterly unremarkable in appearance; the soul condensation stone was a jade-green crystal that looked much like a wood-attribute crystal, yet gave off a cold, sinister aura.
"Two stalks of netherworld grass should be enough to make three Minor Teleportation Talismans. There are three pieces of soul condensation stone, but unfortunately, they're all small. They'll only allow two attempts at the Artifact Soul Conversion Secret Technique," Fire Spirit Child judged.
Shen Luo nodded slightly at this. These would suffice for now.
He paid the Immortal Jade, then soon rose and left to visit the other shops.
Over the next two days, Shen Luo visited the city's spiritual-material shops one by one, following Zhou Ming's recommendations. Unfortunately, apart from the first day, he found little.
Just as Shen Luo was beginning to feel disappointed, Zhou Ming sent him a heartening piece of news that day: a lead on nine-heavens metal essence had actually surfaced in the city.
