"Okay, I happen to have some imitations of the works of Master Lin Chengsi and his apprentice in the Hall of Enshrinement. Senior Lin Chengsi is also a master of talismans. These two require a total of 1,500 low-grade spirit stones. What do you think? Would you like to take a look?"
Jiang Yun thought about the tens of thousands of spirit stones in his storage bag and nodded.
"Fellow Daoist, please take a look. These two are exactly what Master Lin Chengsi and his apprentice copied. They are perfect for novice talisman masters."
Jiang Yun looked at the crooked lines on the two pieces of rice paper and asked curiously:
"This can only be copied from the sacred stone. Is it okay to copy it?"
The clerk smiled and said:
"As long as you can copy it successfully, it's fine."
He had seen too many novice monks asking this question, but it was so difficult. Not to mention how much the monk understood about the pattern, even if he really copied it stroke by stroke without his own understanding, it would be just a piece of waste paper. If he had his own understanding of the pattern of the magic stone, even if he copied it from an ordinary copy, it would be effective.
"Okay, just these two, and some Purple Sun Talismans."
Jiang Yun didn't know much about the pattern copy, he just wanted to go back and try it himself.
"Fellow Daoist, there are first-level and second-level talismans, and each level is divided into three grades: high, medium, and low. The first-level low-grade one costs 10 spirit stones, the medium-grade one costs 50 spirit stones, and the high-grade one costs 100 spirit stones. The second-level low-grade one costs 300 spirit stones, the medium-grade one costs 600 spirit stones, and the high-grade one needs to wait in line, starting at 1,000 spirit stones. However, there are high-grade Ziyang talismans for sale at the annual auction. I wonder which grade you want."
The clerk said enthusiastically that this is a potential big customer.
"Uh," Jiang Yun didn't expect the price of a second-level talisman to be so high, and immediately said:
"Ten first-grade, top-grade pieces, please. Do you sell any talisman inheritance here?"
"Sorry, our shop doesn't sell talisman inheritance. If you have a special skill, you can try to join the Worship Hall, which has the talisman inheritance."
After paying the spirit stones, Jiang Yun put the things into his pocket and walked out of the Divine Talisman Hall. Hou Kun, who was waiting for him at the door, hurried over to meet him.
"Fellow Daoist, I wonder where to go next. Do you want to go to the outer city market?"
Jiang Yun thought for a moment and said:
"I'm going to buy a talisman pen, talisman paper, and other raw materials for drawing talismans."
"Okay, fellow Daoist, you've chosen the right place. Ziyang Talisman Sect is flourishing, and the talisman pens and materials are all of the best. If you don't mind the price, you can go to the Ziyang Sect's Xianbao Building. The items there are all top-grade, though a bit more expensive than usual."
Jiang Yun thought for a moment and said:
"Okay, I don't know how to join the Ziyang Sect's Worship Hall."
Jiang Yun and Hou Kun talked as they walked. After Hou Kun's introduction, Jiang Yun finally understood the conditions for entering the worship hall.
"The first type is those with extremely high attainments in the art of talismans. This can usually be demonstrated by drawing talismans at the city gates. If one can defeat the talisman master from the Zhang family's side sect, they can basically join."
"The second type is cultivation. Even those who have passed the Foundation Establishment stage can join."
"The third type is other immortal cultivation techniques, which generally require higher skills, such as alchemy and magic arrays."
After hearing these three conditions, Jiang Yun immediately thought about himself and decided to study talismans carefully when he returned this time.
Jiang Yun then followed Hou Kun to the Immortal Treasure Building. There, he bought a second-grade talisman brush, some talisman paper, and spiritual ink. All together, they cost nearly 5,000 low-grade spirit stones. The most expensive item was the second-grade talisman brush, a prerequisite for drawing second-grade talismans. It accounted for the bulk of the cost.
Next, Jiang Yun followed Hou Kun to the outer city market of Ziyang City. But Jiang Yun saw that it was almost dusk.
Hou Kun, who noticed Jiang Yun's action, said quickly:
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you find an inn to stay for the night? In Ziyang City, cultivators are not allowed to wander the streets at night. Violators will be punished by the Demon Suppression Division."
He himself also had to go back. In Ziyang City, no one was allowed to wander around at night unless there was something special going on. The rules were especially strict in the outer city.
"Okay." Jiang Yun saw that the process was almost over. He already had some understanding of Ziyang City. He nodded and agreed immediately.
Hou Kun led Jiang Yun to an ordinary inn in the inner city. Jiang Yun gave him a spirit stone, which made Hou Kun overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. And Jiang Yun started his first night in Ziyang City in this ordinary room.
