"Is it possible that Mr. Shen doesn't know the difference between these talismans?" Shopkeeper Ma looked a little surprised when he heard this.
"I'm really not sure about this, please give me some advice from the shopkeeper." Shen Luo said.
"Then let's make a fool of ourselves... the talismans are divided into high and low levels, and so are the talismans. Among them, the commonly seen Yellow Talisman Paper, which is Yellow Memorial Paper, is the most common and the most inferior." Shopkeeper Ma laughed twice and said.
"I know this well. The Magic Power and the aura of heaven and earth that Yellow Talisman Paper can bear are limited, so we can only draw low-level talismans. If we forcefully draw high-level talismans, the talisman paper will not be able to bear it. The line started to burn. But what's the difference between Azure Frost Paper?" Although Shen Luo knew that Azure Frost Paper was better than Yellow Talisman Paper, he didn't know what the advantage was.
"I wonder if Daoyou Shen has ever heard of the word 'Azure Texts and Green Memorials'?" Shopkeeper Ma asked.
"Of course I have heard of it. Azure Texts and Green Memorials refers to the memorials and blessings dedicated to heaven when Daoists hold fasting festivals. Why did the shopkeeper ask this?" Shen Luo nodded and said.
"This Azure Frost Paper also has an alias, it's called Green Memorial Paper." Shopkeeper Ma stroked his beard and smiled.
"So, this Green Memorial Paper is the talisman used to write blessings?" Shen Luo said suddenly.
"Yes, when this kind of talisman paper was first made, it was originally used to write Azure Texts and Green Memorials. It was used to express the heavens and hear Tongtian. It's just that a spiritual material called Spirit-Prayer Incense was mixed in during the production. Therefore, drawing talismans on this paper can easily attract the aura of heaven and earth, and the chance of forming a talisman is naturally higher." Shopkeeper Ma said.
"Then Purple Cloud Talisman Paper, what do you have to say?" Shen Luo asked.
"The reason why this type of talisman paper is named 'Ziyun' is because its main material is a kind of spiritual material called Purple Spirit Crimson Grass. Its growth environment is harsh and its stock is very rare. However, this grass is good at absorbing spiritual energy and storing energy. After being made into talisman paper, it also retains this characteristic. It can withstand greater power than Qingci talisman paper, so it is often used to draw high-level talismans." Shopkeeper Ma said.
"I've learned a lesson. I wonder how to sell these two kinds of talismans?" Shen Luo asked immediately.
"Green Memorial Paper is not too expensive. You can buy ten copies of one Immortal Jade, but if you change it to Purple Cloud Paper, you can only buy one." Shopkeeper Ma said, stroking the beard on his lips.
"Only Immortal Jade can be used. Can't gold and silver be used?" Shen Luo frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Shen, these two items are different from ordinary spiritual materials. They can only be purchased with Immortal Jade." Shopkeeper Ma shook his head and said.
Shen Luo naturally does not have Immortal Jade at the moment, and of course it can no longer be borrowed from Bai Xiaotian, so if you want to try to draw several other high-level talismans, you can only put it on hold for now.
"The talismans I can draw at the moment are enough with Yellow Talisman Paper. Using such high-end talisman paper would be a waste of resources." Shen Luo said with a smile without changing his expression.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. These talismans are here, they can't grow wings and fly away. When Fellow Daoist Shen learns the essence of talismans as soon as possible and can draw high-level talismans, it won't be too late to come to us to buy them." Shopkeeper Ma calmly took back the wooden box and said with a smile.
After that, Shen Luo deliberately looked at some spiritual materials and found that there was only one like "Lightning-Struck Wood", which was suitable for refining Pure Yang Talisman Sword. Unfortunately, Immortal Jade also needed to purchase it, so he had no choice but to give up.
After Bai Xiaotian helped him buy Floating Shadow Jade and other items, the two left Treasure Record Hall.
"Where did you get this Immortal Jade?" Shen Luo asked on the way back.
"Immortal Jade is different from gold and silver, and ordinary people cannot come into contact with it. However, sometimes when the family accepts a request to subdue a demon, the other party will also use Immortal Jade as a reward. As for other things, go to some sect to offer it as an offering, maybe you can get it." Bai Xiaotian said.
"Shopkeeper Ma said before that they also buy the drawn talisman, but I don't know if it can be settled with Immortal Jade?" Shen Luo rubbed his chin and asked again.
"What are you thinking about? Stop dreaming! Unless it's a high-level talisman, is it possible? Ordinary low-level talismans can only be settled in gold and silver, and they have to be offensive talismans to be worth anything." Bai Xiaotian rolled his eyes at Shen Luo, and immediately poured a basin of cold water on it.
Shen Luo chuckled, thinking that the talismans Falling Thunder Talisman and Flying Talisman were both of high grade. If they could be sold, they would definitely be settled by Immortal Jade. Unfortunately, he had no money left to buy the talisman paper and materials needed to draw the talismans.
The two chatted for a while, and the carriage passed the Zhenhuai Bridge again.
Shen Luo opened a corner of the car curtain and looked outside. He saw that all the people watching the excitement on the bridge had dispersed. The body on the water bank in the Water-Warm Pavilion's backyard seemed to have been taken away by his family.
He slowly withdrew his gaze and was about to put down the sedan curtain in his hand, when he was suddenly startled.
Because he saw a rather familiar flower pattern on the back of the River-Quelling Water Beast at the end of the bridge.
"Flower of the Other Shore..."
Shen Luo thought to himself, but when he wanted to see clearly again, the carriage had already crossed the bridge and turned towards the street on the right.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xiaotian saw that he had a strange look on his face and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that the River-Quelling Water Beast on the other end looked a little strange, so I took a second look." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell the truth.
"That thing is a few years old, and there are quite a few along the river when Ye City was built. It is said that when Ye City was first built, there were two floods in the Qinhuai River, which submerged less than half of the city. Later, after inspection by the Yin Yang Immortal Master, he said that the water veins were too strong and evil spirits were rampant. That's why the government ordered the construction of many river-suppressing water beasts to suppress the water veins. Don't tell me, the Qinhuai River has really calmed down since then, and there have never been any major floods." Bai Xiaotian did not doubt that he was there and explained to Shen Luo.
"So, that immortal master is also a real expert." Shen Luo said thoughtfully.
After the carriage traveled for a while, Shen Luo suddenly remembered something and asked again, "Do you know how the investigation on Spring Autumn Temple is going?"
"There is no progress yet. After my father sent a letter to the Weak Water Sect and several other immortal cultivating sects, he immediately sent people to go there to coordinate the investigation. When the results arrived, they found that the entire Spring Autumn Temple had been burned to the ground, all traces had been wiped out, and nothing could be found." Bai Xiaotian sighed and said.
"What about Gu Hualing and Wang Qingsong? Have you investigated the information about these two people?" Shen Luo frowned.
"Wang Qingsong started his career very early and rarely interacts with outsiders. The only people who know his details are probably Daoist Luo, Fengyang Zhenren and his great uncle. It's a pity that their lives and deaths are unknown. The clue has been cut off. As for Gu Hualing, it was Wang Qingsong who brought him into the mountain gate. Regardless of whether his identity was fake at the time, there is no trace now." Bai Xiaotian thought for a moment and said.
"So, so many of Spring Autumn Temple's disciples died in vain?" Shen Luo said with a slightly cold expression.
