Fairy Eye

The next day.

Baibaotang.

Inside the spacious trading hall, several female servers were patiently explaining things to customers who came to buy goods.

The beautiful woman in her forties saw off a customer who had just completed a transaction, only to see a tall young man in a black robe walking towards her from the opposite square.

He didn't have a topknot; his jet-black hair covered half of his face, and you could vaguely see some of the dark spots that weren't covered.

"It's him?"

The woman was about to turn around, but upon seeing the person who had come, she involuntarily stopped, a look of surprise on her face.

"Junior Brother Han, you've really changed a lot in just three days! Your transformation is so great that I almost didn't recognize you."

When the man in the black robe was about two zhang away from the shop entrance, the woman called out with a smile.

"Hello, Senior Sister Fang, please don't make fun of me." Han Lin smiled awkwardly, stepped forward, and clasped his hands in greeting.

This woman's surname is Fang, and her given name is Ning. She is currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining, just one level away from becoming a steward-level being.

According to the rules of the Guiyuan Sect, once you reach the seventh level of Qi Refining, you can take on the role of steward. Regardless of the department, your contributions will be higher than those of ordinary members.

"Hehe, this isn't a joke, it's the real deal! Junior Brother Han, is there anything you want to buy today? Senior Sister will recommend something to you?"

Fang Ning smiled broadly, showing no sign of disgust. Instead, she would occasionally wink at Han Lin, making him extremely embarrassed.

"I'd like to buy some talisman paper, talisman brushes, monster blood, and a set of ordinary writing materials. Could you please recommend some to me, Senior Sister?" Han Lin's face flushed slightly before he calmed down and said.

"Talisman-making supplies? Junior brother actually wants to learn talisman-making? That's truly remarkable! But junior brother, we have everything else you need here, except for demon beast blood, which we don't sell here." Fang Ning glanced at Han Lin with some surprise and said as she walked inside.

"No beast blood?" Han Lin asked in surprise.

"Yes. The blood of demonic beasts is usually supplied to the Immortal Talisman Hall managed by the Sixth Elder, and is not sold here at the Hundred Treasures Hall. If you need it, Junior Brother, I suggest you go to the Red Maple Valley Gathering to take a look."

"Understood."

Han Lin nodded. "Then let's buy some other supplies first."

"Okay, junior brother, come with me."

Fang Ning led Han Lin to the talisman supplies area, then took out a series of talisman brushes and began to explain them to Han Lin.

The style of the talisman brush is similar to that of an ordinary calligraphy brush, but the materials used are obviously different. First of all, the brush handle is made of fine steel, and some are even made of precious jade.

The bristles used to make the brush are also extraordinary, said to be made from the hair of various kinds of mythical beasts.

Moreover, not all beast hairs are suitable; only wolf hairs are most appropriate, and only a small portion from the neck can be used.

Because of the different types and qualities of wolf hair brushes, as well as the differences in the fineness of the craftsmanship of the brushes themselves, the price of each brush varies.

The cheapest option costs 300 contribution points, while the most expensive costs tens of thousands, which made Han Lin feel a pang of pain.

If possible, he would like to buy the best one, because according to "Huang's Talisman Making Experience", the quality of the talisman brush will greatly affect the success rate of talisman making.

Unfortunately, he simply doesn't have the financial resources right now.

"Let's buy this one that costs 300 contribution points." Han Lin had no other choice but to glance at the black talisman pen in his hand.

"Okay, how many talismans do you want to buy, Junior Brother?" Fang Ning wasn't unhappy and took out a long pencil case to help pack them up.

"How much is it?"

"A dozen talismans cost one hundred sheets. Buying them individually costs one point of contribution per sheet, while buying a whole dozen costs ninety-one dozen," Fang Ning said with a smile as she deftly packed the talismans.

"Then let's have a dozen, and a set of ordinary writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones." To be honest, talisman paper is quite expensive, a dozen costs about one low-grade spirit stone.

"no problem."

Fang Ning packed up the talisman brush and got busy again.

In the end, Han Lin spent exactly four hundred contribution points, no more, no less.

Han Lin chose to use four spirit stones to offset the price, and also gave him forty contribution points as a refund. Including the ten points left over from last time, he now has fifty contribution points to use.

After the transaction was completed, Han Lin didn't linger, worried that he wouldn't be able to resist Fang Ning's temptation and would end up wasting some more money.

He then left Baibaotang quickly, accompanied by Fang Ning's warm farewell.

"This guy is quite interesting. He's such a grown man, yet he still gets red-faced so easily." Fang Ning smiled charmingly at Han Lin's retreating figure, then turned and walked into the house.

When Han Lin returned to the No. 504 residence in Galaxy Valley, it was still early, and since it was an odd-numbered day, the Red Maple Valley gathering was not open.

He sat down on one of the four seats in the courtyard, took out the book "Huang's Insights on Talisman Making," and turned to the third to last page.

Then, he took out paper and pen and placed a piece of white paper over the surface of the book pages.

Then, with keen insight, he began to carefully copy the hidden landscape patterns inside the pages of the book, being extremely cautious with each stroke.

After a short while, the copy was completed. Han Lin looked at the copied picture with both surprise and some confusion.

In the upper left corner of the landscape painting, the words "Huang Family Treasure" were clearly written.

On a bare, rocky mountain in the very center of the landscape painting, there is a bullseye mark. Could this be a treasure map?

However, apart from the words "Huang Family Treasure", there are no other clues above.

Finding the treasure's location based solely on this landscape painting is simply a pipe dream. After all, the world is vast; he can't possibly compare every single inch of it, can he?

"The Huang family..."

"According to Fu Jiu, the person selling this book is a disciple of a fallen family. Could that person be a descendant of the Huang family?"

"If that's the case, then all I need to do is find that descendant of the Huang family, and wouldn't I have a chance to find the place corresponding to the treasure map?"

A sudden inspiration struck Han Lin, and he was secretly delighted.

He didn't believe that the well-hidden landscape painting was a joke played by some senior. It was most likely genuine.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to meet Fu Jiu and see if I can get information about the whereabouts of that Huang family descendant from him."

Han Lin's eyes flickered slightly as he secretly began to make plans.

"However, my cultivation level is really too low. Even if I find that rogue cultivator, I probably won't gain any advantage."

"If this map is exposed, it could even lead to our deaths. It seems we can't be too careless about this matter."

Han Lin frowned slightly as he thought about his situation.

"Well, since the treasure map is in my hands anyway, it's best not to rush things! It's more appropriate to inquire about this matter after I have a certain level of self-defense capabilities."

After a struggle with his conscience, Han Lin forcefully suppressed his greed.

I decided to first find a way to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and then it wouldn't be too late to plot for the treasure after I've learned some advanced spells.

Afterwards, Han Lin put everything on the table into the Tongtian Treasure Vault, then returned to his bedroom and began to cultivate cross-legged.
