"Anyway, I'm very grateful for Mr. Shen's rescue today." Shopkeeper Ma quickly saluted.
The two of them talked and walked into the shop again.
"Shopkeeper Ma, I came here today to buy some more talisman paper and spiritual materials." Shen Luo sat down and expressed his intention.
At this time, Ma Xiuxiu served him a cup of fine fragrant tea, and then retreated into the inner hall with slightly red cheeks. The whole time, he only dared to glance at Shen Luo from the corner of his eye.
Shen Luo didn't pay attention to the little girl's subtle movements, and kept scanning the labels on the bag.
"What kind of talismans and spiritual materials are Mr. Shen going to buy today?" Shopkeeper Ma asked.
"The spiritual materials are the same as last time. As for the talisman paper... I want to buy some Azure Frost Paper." Shen Luo said with a look back.
"Normally speaking, Mr. Shen has been kind to us. The spiritual materials Floating Shadow Jade and Golden Fan Scallop can be given to Mr. Shen without charging a penny. It's just that Azure Frost Paper... needs to be purchased with Immortal Jade, but it is not a personal gift that we can decide on." Hearing this, Shopkeeper Ma said with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Whatever Shopkeeper Ma said, regardless of the spiritual materials or talisman paper, just calculate it according to the original price." After saying that, Shen Luo stood up and took out a gold ingot and the Immortal Jade, and placed them on the counter.
Shopkeeper Ma Seeing the gold ingot was nothing, but as soon as he caught a glimpse of Immortal Jade, his eyes lit up.
"What did the shopkeeper say last time? One Immortal Jade can buy ten Azure Frost Talisman Papers, is that right?" Shen Luo asked.
"Ten pieces? That's the price for others. Since Mr. Shen can get Immortal Jade, we can sell twelve pieces to you." Shopkeeper Ma said immediately.
"Then thank you Shopkeeper Ma." Shen Luo said with great joy after hearing this.
"Mr. Shen, please put this gold ingot away. Floating Shadow Jade and other items can be considered as additions to the talisman. We decide to give it to you." Shopkeeper Ma waved his hand and said boldly.
Having said that, without waiting for Shen Luo to speak, he turned around and went to the treasure box, took out the talisman paper and spiritual materials, and sent them to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out the piece of gold foil engraved with runes from his sleeve and placed it on the counter.
"The shopkeeper is well-informed, can you help me to see what this thing is?" Shen Luo said.
"No problem, let's see." Shopkeeper Ma said with a smile.
As he spoke, he had already reached out his hand, but when he was about to pick up the gold foil, his movements suddenly froze.
"This is..." Shopkeeper Ma hesitated with a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Shen Luo asked.
Shopkeeper Ma With a solemn look on his face, he turned around and went to the inner hall. After washing his hands, he took a piece of clean cloth and carefully picked up the piece of gold foil.
He brought his eyes closer and carefully inspected the runes on the gold foil from top to bottom. Then he turned over and carefully inspected the back of the gold foil. His expression became a little excited.
"Yes, this pattern, this texture, yes, it must be..." Shopkeeper Ma murmured with his hands trembling slightly.
"Shopkeeper Ma, can you first tell me what this is?" Shen Luo looked on with confusion, but he also knew that this gold foil was probably not a common thing.
"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry. When I suddenly saw this Soul-Calming Golden Tablet, I was so excited that I lost my temper." Shopkeeper Ma finally came back to his senses and said.
"Soul-Calming Golden Tablet?" Shen Luo said in surprise.
"The Wat Board was originally a special object used by Daoist practitioners to perform Daoist rituals when performing Luotian Jiao or Daoist rituals. Some prayers and sacrificial words are often recorded on it, which is used to represent heaven. Because of different functions, there are also different types. This kind of Soul-Calming Golden Tablet is very special, it is cast from the special Metal Essence, and the runes are carved by a Daoist master himself, specifically used to suppress evil spirits and resentful souls." Shopkeeper Ma explained.
Shen Luo After hearing this, he remembered that when he found this golden wat, it was hanging on the body bag. Now it seems that it was probably to suppress the soul of the dead body.
"So this thing has such an origin, but I wonder if your store will accept it?" Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully and asked.
"Master Shen, do you want to sell this thing?" Shopkeeper Ma was delighted when he heard this and asked hurriedly.
"Whether it is for sale or not... depends on how much it is worth?" Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and said.
"To be honest, Treasure Record Hall has collected a lot of things over the years, but this is the first time I've seen this Soul-Calming Golden Tablet. Mr. Shen is kind to us, so I can't fool you with nonsense. Your golden wand is of excellent appearance., the runes engraved on it seem to be unusual, and are different from the Soul-Calming Runes that we usually see Taiyi. But I can't tell what they are specifically." Shopkeeper Ma said solemnly.
"Speaking directly from the shopkeeper, how much are you willing to pay for this golden wat?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.
Shopkeeper Ma After listening, he picked up the golden wat and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, the expression on his face became more and more tangled.
"Mr. Shen, I really can't determine the value of this golden wat for the time being. What do you think? Let's mortgage it here for thirty Immortal Jade, and then send a letter to this Treasure Record Hall real My boss, let him determine the value. If the payment is less, I will convince the boss to make up for it later. If the payment is more, I will repay the kindness of the young master." Shopkeeper Ma thought for a moment before speaking.
"Thirty Immortal Jade?" Shen Luo heard this and could hardly believe his ears.
He can only receive one Immortal Jade every three months at the Bai Family. Is this a treatment that other low-level guests do not have at all? This piece of gold foil picked up with bare hands can actually be exchanged for thirty Immortal Jade?
"Just as Shopkeeper Ma said, I changed it!" Shen Luo said immediately without any further hesitation.
This Soul-Calming Golden Tablet is of no use to him at least at the moment. He has already memorized the runes on it. Now it is indeed the best choice to replace it with the real Immortal Jade.
"Master Shen is such a refreshing person!" Shopkeeper Ma also touched his palm and said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Ma, the deal has been decided, can I ask one more question, why is there anything special about this golden tablet, and why is it so valuable?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.
"Mr. Shen, to tell you the truth, we are willing to take this gamble because we see something different." Shopkeeper Ma hesitated for a moment and then said.
"I would like to hear the details." Shen Luo said.
"Soul-Calming Golden Tablet actually has similar effects to Soul-Calming Talisman, except that it contains stronger spiritual power and lasts longer. However, it is a consumable thing after all. It is not easy to be used for more than ten years. And this golden wat of yours, at a glance It has been there for some years, and the rune writing on it still retains its aura, and it cannot be seen that it has been infected by evil spirits at all. So we guess that if it is not made of excellent material, it must be that the person who carved the rune must have a very high level of cultivation, and its meaning itself is extraordinary." Shopkeeper Ma explained.
Shen Luo When I heard this, I immediately understood.
