"Is this for sale?" Jiang Yun pointed at the screen on the table.
"Oh, fellow Daoist also wants to buy a copy of the Divine Stone. I'll take you there."
After Hou Kun finished speaking, he took Jiang Yun and started walking into the city along the road.
"Fellow Daoist, let me give you a piece of advice. Only the official Shenshi Linben from the Ziyang Sect's Shenfu Pavilion is the genuine product. Many other products claiming to be Jindan or even Yuanying cultivator products are basically fakes."
Jiang Yun nodded in agreement. It was true that the Ziyang Sect's members could see the divine stone every day, while other cultivators rarely saw it, let alone copy it. Being able to copy a painting was already a good thing.
"The Ziyang Sect's law enforcement agency in Ziyang Immortal City is called the Demon Suppression Division. Because the Ziyang Sect's unique spells are the most harmful to demonic cultivators, Ziyang Immortal City is also the most targeted city by demonic cultivators among the six cities."
Hou Kun said this and pointed to a notice board on the roadside. Jiang Yun looked in the direction of his finger and saw a row of wanted posters posted on it.
"Wanted
Target Name: Gu Ying (Demon Monk)
Age: Unknown
Cultivation: Late stage of Qi Refining (suspected to be perfect)
Gender: Male
Height: about seven feet, slender figure, strong muscles and bones.
Appearance: The prisoner has a deep face, a piercing gaze, a chest-length beard, and long hair. He often wears a black robe embroidered with strange runes, which is eye-catching. His right arm has a scar that runs deep into his bone marrow.
The demon monk killed thirteen members of the Lu family near Huayang Market and then fled and disappeared.
Reward: Anyone who can provide clues and assist in the capture of this demonic cultivator will be rewarded with 500 low-grade spirit stones. Those who can directly capture or kill the criminal will be rewarded with 1,000 low-grade spirit stones. The opportunity to join the Demon Suppression Division or other Ziyang departments will also be granted.
Warning: This demonic cultivator is extremely dangerous. Please do not act without authorization if you do not have the full power of Qi Refining.
Publishing Agency: Ziyang Town Demon Division"
The first thing Jiang Yun saw was the wanted poster in the center, which had a rather abstract drawing of a human face on it.
"After completing these tasks, you can bring your credentials to the Demon Suppression Division in the city to exchange for bounties, and even have the opportunity to join the Demon Suppression Division or the Worship Hall. Therefore, some monks make a living by being bounty hunters."
Hou Kun stared at the wanted posters with envy. He had no idea how many times he had thought about them. He hoped that one day he would be able to run into a wanted monk in the city and exchange him for the bounty.
"Can I enter the Hall of Worship by completing bounty missions?"
Jiang Yun looked at these abstract wanted posters and asked curiously:
"Yes, the Worship Hall and the Demon Suppression Division are both institutions of the Ziyang Sect. Many of the bigwigs in the Demon Suppression Division are originally cultivators from the Worship Hall. So if you catch their eye, there's a chance you can get in."
Hou Kun suggested another way to enter the worship hall, but judging from what the other party said, this way was too dangerous and few people tried it.
"Can ordinary people provide information about demonic cultivators?"
"Well, most of them are family members of cultivators who were harmed by demonic cultivators. They provide evidence of bounties and issue orders through the Demon Suppression Bureau. Of course, the Demon Suppression Bureau will also send people to verify. Ordinary fights will not be accepted."
It was the first time that Jiang Yun saw a bounty hunter. In the Biyun Sect, he had never heard of such an organization within the sect. The Ziyang Sect was indeed worthy of being the number one sect to suppress demons.
"Fellow Daoist, we've arrived at the Divine Talisman Hall. I won't go in, but considering your fine wine, I'll give you a suggestion. It's best to buy something from the same series."
Jiang Yun nodded with a hint of doubt and looked towards the Divine Talisman Hall's gate. Sure enough, the familiar lines of Zixiao Stone were carved into the top decoration of the gate. The Divine Talisman Hall's gate was magnificent, with the ancient lines set against the tall door frame, giving people a sense of solemnity and mystery.
"It really is worthy of being called the Divine Talisman Hall," Jiang Yun sighed. None of those in the Biyun Sect could compare.
As Jiang Yun entered the shop, he saw copies of the divine stone neatly arranged on the walls on both sides of the lobby. Although all were copies of the Ziyang divine stone, they were all different and varied, a dazzling sight.
"Fellow Daoist, would you like a copy?"
A clerk in the lobby saw this and came up to ask, this person turned out to be a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
"Well, since it's your first time here, let me introduce myself."
Jiang Yun looked at the various types of Linben in front of him and asked:
"Alright, fellow Daoist, please take a seat!" Jiang Yun followed the other party to a corner of the lobby. As soon as he sat down, a mortal maid brought him spiritual tea. Jiang Yun lifted the teacup and sniffed it, and a faint spiritual aura filled his nostrils. It truly was a shop specially opened by the Ziyang Sect.
"Fellow Daoist, please have some tea first, and let me explain slowly."
Jiang Yun nodded, and the cultivator opposite began to introduce the situation of the divine stone.
"So that's how it is," Jiang Yun finally understood why Hou Kun reminded him to buy the same series.
Hou Kun only had a limited understanding of the text, but there were so many copies that it could be said that almost every cultivator in the Ziyang Sect had copied it. However, the truly valuable copies were those made by masters of talismans, or even grandmasters, or by highly advanced Jindan cultivators, or even Yuanying Zhenjun.
"The cheapest copies made by Qi Refining Talisman Masters are priced at 100 low-grade spirit stones per copy, depending on the standard length. Those made by Foundation Establishment Masters range from 800 to 1,000 spirit stones. Those made by Golden Core True Immortals start at 3,000 spirit stones, and those made by Nascent Soul True Lords start at 100,000 spirit stones. These are the treasures of our Divine Talisman Hall, and we usually only sell them at auctions."
"Okay, give me two from the same series, one for a Qi Refining cultivator and one for a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
Jiang Yun calmly explained that the same series refers to paintings by two cultivators with similar styles, usually a master and a disciple. It could even be something like someone who copied something in the Qi Refining Stage and then copied it again after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
