Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 51 Search
Li Zhen found a shop selling talismans in the market. The owner of the shop was a young female cultivator. From the aura emanating from her, it could be judged that she was a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training.

"What kind of talismans do you want to buy, little Taoist friend? All the talismans sold in our store are here!" The female cultivator pointed to the cabinet behind her and introduced them. She did not look down on Li Zhen because of his young age.

The cabinet looks a bit like the cabinet in a pharmacy, with a name on each drawer.

Li Zhen took a quick look and found that they were all ordinary five-element talismans and there were no talismans with special functions.

This is not surprising, as most cultivators have five elements spiritual roots, and drawing talismans requires learning this spell.

This talisman shop has so many kinds of talismans, which is very comprehensive.

"I want to become a talisman maker, and come here to buy talisman maker's books and talisman pens!" Li Zhen said to the female cultivator.

Although the fairyland's talisman-making manuals and even talisman pens can be purchased with credit points, what he lacks most is credit points. In addition, if he wants to have the identity of a talisman maker in this world, he must have a reasonable origin.

"To become a talisman maker, you need talent. Our store has a set of introductory books on talisman makers written by Wang Yibin, a mid-grade talisman maker, which are most suitable for beginners. If you buy this first-level low-grade talisman pen, you will get 20 sheets of low-grade talisman paper for free. If you don't have the talent to be a talisman maker, our store will not accept returns. Have you thought this through?" the female cultivator introduced in a warning tone.

The female cultivator has seen too many cultivators who want to become talisman makers, but becoming a talisman maker is not that easy.

Even though talisman making is considered relatively simple among the hundred arts of cultivation, it is difficult to find a low-grade talisman maker among ten cultivators, and it is difficult to find a middle-grade talisman maker among a hundred low-grade talisman makers. The number of high-grade talisman makers decreases as you go up in level.

The female cultivator thought that Li Zhen was too young and wanted him to think it over carefully.

"How many spirit stones do you need in total?" Li Zhen asked without any hesitation.

"The introductory book costs 15 spirit stones, and the talisman pen costs 10 spirit stones!" The female cultivator sighed in her heart and replied.

This amount of spirit stones was really not much for Li Zhen, but he still bargained with the female cultivator for a long time, and finally got it for 24 spirit stones.

He left the shop with a jade slip and a box containing a talisman pen and twenty pieces of talisman paper. He did not put these things into the Dragon Heart Space, but held them in his arms.

On the way home, many monks saw what he was holding in his arms and looked at him with sympathy.

Many of the cultivators among them had the same idea as Li Zhen, risking all their wealth and finally not being able to get back their capital.

24 spirit stones are not enough to learn how to make talismans. You also need to buy some spirit materials to make talisman ink. And 20 sheets of talisman paper are not enough. A talisman maker needs to practice a certain kind of talisman at least a hundred times before he can barely get started. And this is for cultivators who have a talent for talisman making.

Li Zhen ignored the gazes of these cultivators. His origins were very clear. He was sent by a disciple of Shifang Valley, so it was not surprising that he had some spirit stones in his hand.

As long as he didn't leave the market, he wouldn't have to worry about being robbed by the monks.

And his actions today will let the monks in the market know that he has started making talismans.

When he arrived at the wooden house, he saw three monks standing in front of it, including Manager Zhao from the Spiritual Field Management Office.

"Manager Zhao, is there anything I can help you with?" Li Zhen asked Manager Zhao.

"These two are monks from the Lin family. They want to enter your house to check and need your cooperation!" Manager Zhao said, pointing at the two monks beside him.

Li Zhen was stunned. He didn't expect that it was the Lin family who came.

He was considering whether to escape, but then he changed his mind and realized that if he could really prove that he had killed the old shopkeeper, he would not wait here but would have sent monks to capture him long ago.

"I don't quite understand the rules. Does the market allow this?" Li Zhen did not open the door immediately, but asked Manager Zhao.

"It's not that our Lin family doesn't know the rules. The owner of Jubao Pavilion disappeared. You went to Jubao Pavilion the day before. The Lin family has investigated you and hopes that you will cooperate!" The Lin family cultivator said in a deep voice.

Manager Zhao gestured to Li Zhen to open the door. There was no comparison between Li Zhen and the Lin family, and he also hoped that Li Zhen could be more sensible.

After seeing the attitude of Manager Zhao, Li Zhen realized that the market town was not as he had imagined. The market town also had to consider the influence of major forces.

He opened the door silently, but when he entered, the Dragon Heart Space moved slightly and put away the 'Small Inverted Five Elements Formation'.

Two Lin family monks followed him into the house and took out a compass.

The Lin family monk walked around the room with the compass. The room was not big, so he finished the search quickly. The Lin family monk approached Li Zhen again, and the compass stopped in front of Li Zhen for a moment.

"Thank you for your cooperation, young man!" The Lin family cultivator nodded and said.

The two Lin family monks turned and left, but Manager Zhao did not follow them immediately.

"Brother Li, be careful not to offend family monks in the market. The Lin family, for example, is one of the partners of the market. Of course, such a thing would not happen normally. The disappearance of the owner of Jubao Pavilion has caused a great loss to the Lin family. They are a little anxious. Not only you, but any monk who has had contact with Jubao Pavilion recently has been investigated!" Manager Zhao explained to Li Zhen, considering that Li Zhen has the background of Shifang Valley.

"Thank you Manager Zhao for telling me!" Li Zhen said with a bow.

After seeing off Manager Zhao, Li Zhen closed the door. He took out the 'Small Inverted Five Elements Formation' again and activated it.

Although he was forcibly inspected today, he also saw that people in the market were still reasonable. At least no one broke into the room by force today.

Of course, even if the two Lin family monks broke into the door by force, they would not be able to find the spiritual objects related to the old shopkeeper, because those spiritual objects were all in Li Zhen’s dragon heart space.

"What kind of spiritual object left the tracking mark?" Li Zhen muttered to himself helplessly.

His cultivation was too weak, and he was simply unable to find the spiritual object that left the tracking mark among so many spiritual objects. This required him to be more careful when using any of the old shopkeeper's spiritual objects in the future. Even if he used them, he had to take them back to the Dragon Heart Space immediately after use.

Li Zhen sat down cross-legged and took out the introductory book on talisman makers written by Wang Yibin, a mid-level talisman maker.

Although he did not know the title of the middle-grade talisman maker Wang Yibin, he could tell from the expression of the female cultivator in the talisman shop that the middle-grade talisman maker had a high status in the market.

He placed the jade slip in front of his forehead, and the information inside was immediately transmitted to his brain.

There are only three types of talismans recorded in the introductory book on talisman makers written by Wang Yibin, a mid-level talisman maker. They are the fireball talisman, the diamond talisman, and the light body talisman.

Li Zhen also has these three kinds of talismans, and he has learned the fireball technique, the Vajra technique, and the light body technique, and his magical level is not low.

However, what he learned was the magic from the fairyland. Now seeing the talismans from this world, he wondered what the difference would be between the two.

Apparently he was overthinking it, as he discovered that the patterns on the three talismans were no different from those on the talismans from the Immortal Kingdom.

Talismans are spells solidified on talisman paper, and spells are the means by which cultivators create them through the study of the laws of spiritual power of various attributes with the help of runes of various attributes.

As they are both immortal cultivation civilizations, there will be no difference in the laws of spiritual power, and there will not be much difference in the spells and talismans.

Each type of talisman, such as the Fireball Talisman, the Vajra Talisman, and the Light Body Talisman, corresponds to a method of making talisman ink. This is the most precious knowledge in this book.

Li Zhen had no plan to buy talisman ink in this world, and he would not even buy low-grade talisman paper in this world.

This kind of low-quality talisman paper and ink is produced in the Immortal Country in factories on fully automatic production lines, which makes the talisman paper and ink quite cheap.

Li Zhen activated his spatial magical power, his figure disappeared in the room, and then appeared on the bed in the bedroom of his home in Yunxi County.

He first looked at his ID bracelet. There was no new information from the school, and his parents had not left him a message.

He calculated the time it took him to travel through time, which was about twelve hours.

I took the initiative to send a message to my parents to let them know that I had passed the quarantine.

His parents were in the spiritual planting area at the moment, so Mother Li left some food for him to eat by himself.

Li Zhen ate his meal quickly, and then he came to the spiritual plant area and saw his parents performing the "Little Cloud and Rain Technique".

Although he cannot cooperate with his parents by joining them, it is enough to reduce their workload.

"Has your spiritual power reached the second level of Qi training?" Father Li asked uncertainly.

The spiritual power consumed by Li Zhen when performing the "Small Cloud and Rain Technique" is not the total amount of spiritual power of the first level of Qi training.
