Linfeng City, East Gate.
The two large lanterns hanging above the city gate had been broken for an unknown amount of time and no one had repaired them. They were swaying slightly in the cold wind and rain, making a "crunching" sound, which was particularly strange in the dark night.
Ling Xiao was leaning against the city gate alone, surrounded by darkness, full of darkness and coldness that wanted to engulf him.
The thin raindrops hit my neck, making it cool.
He silently tightened his collar.
He stayed at Chenjia Mountain all day long to study the Five Thunder Dharma. He said goodbye to his master just before midnight and came down the mountain.
"The Five Thunder Zhengfa has no magic as a basis. It is a talisman drawn out of thin air. It is truly magical!"
Recalling the learning process of Five Thunder Zhengfa, Ling Xiao was secretly shocked.
Under the guidance of Xuanjizi and Laohuaishu, his progress is still not smooth.
There is no spell as a basis, which means that if you want to improve the success rate of making talismans, the only option is to keep drawing this path.
The production cost of thunder talismans is particularly high, three times that of ordinary first-level high-level talismans!
For talisman paper, you must use second-level talisman paper.
Blood ink must use precious thunder attribute blood ink.
The same goes for the talisman pen. The material used for making it must be a thunder attribute material!
No wonder Qingfeng Guan's family has great achievements, but still lives in poverty.
The consumption of making talismans is already so high, so it is strange that the Taoist priests also need to help the poor people.
Now it was Ling Xiao's turn to have a headache.
Talisman paper and blood ink are okay, you can buy them if you have money.
Talisman pens are a big problem.
Lightning attribute materials are extremely rare and naturally destructive, making them most suitable for making offensive magic weapons. No one would ever use this material to make a "talisman pen"!
Can't buy it, absolutely can't buy it.
You can only collect the materials yourself.
Ling Xiao rubbed his temples and sighed softly.
We can only go to the black market and ask around to see if there are any lightning-property materials suitable for making pens. I will also ask Mrs. Xia He to help me keep an eye on it tomorrow.
Fortunately, Xuanjizi agreed to help him make talisman pens as long as he provided materials.
In the early stage of practice, you can only use mystical tricks. In this way, you can only make the talisman in Qingfeng Temple, which is quite troublesome.
Just hearing the sound of wheels, a carriage came speeding through the wind and rain.
Ling Xiao cheered up and stopped the carriage.
…
The black market is still the same black market, but in Ling Xiao's opinion, it has changed.
The biggest change is that the number of stalls on both sides of the street has been greatly reduced.
After shopping around, he was helpless.
Not only are there few stalls, but the products sold at the stalls are almost rubbish. It is hard to find even a single piece of high-grade material, let alone missing items!
In the distance, he saw a large flag fluttering in the wind, with the word "Xiao" written on it. Occasionally, a monk came forward and took out some materials to talk.
The royal family’s hand in purchasing materials actually reached out to the black market!
What kind of world is this?
Isn’t the black market a place outside the law?
Ling Xiao was speechless and could only walk into various shops.
However, when the shopkeepers heard the words "Thunder Attribute Material", they all shook their heads like a rattle.
"I don't have the materials. Are fellow Taoists interested in thunder-attribute magic weapons? Just the materials? Okay, I will definitely inquire for you, but as for the deposit..."
After you pay the deposit, the store will help search for it. If it is not found within a month, half of the deposit will be refunded and the contract will be voided.
If it exceeds two months, the deposit will not be refunded, and the store will not bother to look for it.
What an overbearing clause!
Ling Xiao turned around and left.
A deposit of 250 is required for a shop.
If you pay it in, it will really be two hundred and fifty!
He turned to the door of Fuxiang Pavilion.
"Yetai, come in and play!"
The young ladies were waiting for customers at the door again, greeting them warmly, and all kinds of aromas filled their nostrils.
"I'm looking for someone."
Ling Xiao pushed them away and went straight to the fifth floor.
He came to see Master Tiger.
As a senior builder, this person must have extremely rich sources of materials, and he might be able to buy lightning attribute materials from here.
To his surprise, the door to Tianzi No. 8 was open, but there was no sound. There were two old men standing at the door.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
If I remember correctly, the two old men at the door were the bodyguards of the seventh princess Xiao Yue!
The eyes of the two old men suddenly burst into light, and they seemed to recognize the black rabbit mask on Ling Xiao's face.
It seems that the elite team left a deep impression on them at first.
"Are you here to join the shogunate?"
"How did you know the princess was here?"
"Why don't the rest of your team come?"
The two of them asked questions one after another, their eyes burning like fire, as if they wanted to see through all of Ling Xiao's secrets.
Hearing this questioning tone, Ling Xiao felt very unhappy.
I never thought about joining the shogunate. There should be a limit to your selfishness, right?
"You have the wrong person."
Ling Xiao replied stiffly, came to the hall, sat down, and waited quietly.
Even the restrictions in Room 8 were turned on, and it was unknown what Master Hu and Xiao Yue were plotting.
When the old man retorted, he suddenly felt angry in his heart, but considering the royal family's face, he didn't want to get angry on the spot.
The atmosphere was depressing.
After sitting for a long time, the restriction covering Room 8 was finally opened, and the three people walked out.
Master Hu and Xiao Yue were among them, and the last one surprised Ling Xiao.
The top singer in Fuxiang Pavilion, Liu Junhuan!
She lost her demeanor of causing harm to the country and the people, only put on light makeup, and her charm became youthful, as pure and lovely as the girl next door.
In Ling Xiao's mind, he inexplicably thought of his first love.
It has to be said that Liu Junhuan is truly a beauty made in heaven. No matter how she dresses, she can't diminish her beauty.
Compared with Liu Junhuan, Xiao Yue seems ordinary.
The two girls held hands and seemed extremely close. Xiao Yue said as they walked: "Master has no intention of joining the shogunate, and I don't force it. I just wonder who made your spiritual wine? I just tasted it, and Xiao Yue has endless aftertaste!"
"Hehe...that wine is really good!"
Master Tiger shook his head, triumphantly.
Liu Junhuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your Highness doesn't know something. His old man is very secretive about the origin of the precious spirit wine. The little girl asked him many times, but he kept silent! Master Hu, now that Your Highness is asking, you still have to keep it a secret." What?"
Master Tiger's expression froze, he scratched his head, and was about to say something when he suddenly noticed someone in the hall. The rabbit mask on his face looked very familiar...
"It's you?!"
Master Tiger was startled and opened his mouth wide.
"Huh?"
Xiao Yue and Liu Junhuan were both startled, and their eyes naturally fell on Ling Xiao, with different expressions for a moment.
"It's you?" Xiao Yue was slightly surprised.
"Mr. Xuantu?" Liu Junhuan was also surprised.
These two women have such good memories, they actually remember Ling Xiao, whom they only met once!
Ling Xiao secretly raised his eyebrows, then calmly raised his hands and said, "Xuantu has met the Seventh Princess. Wish you a happy princess." He nodded to Liu Junhuan again, and then looked at Master Hu.
When the latter saw his deep gaze, he was startled and couldn't help but laugh twice, looking very guilty.
Just now, Master Tiger did have the idea of telling the origin of tiger bone wine.
It turned out that when Cao Cao arrived, Ling Xiao was actually in the lobby and almost got caught!
Tiger bone wine is extremely effective. Even if it was not brewed by Ling Xiao, it must be extremely important and secret.
Taking the initiative to expose other people's secrets is a taboo in the world of immortality. It doesn't matter if the other person doesn't know. Once they know, it's easy to form a deadly feud!
Thinking of this, Master Hu felt fearful and subconsciously took a step back, wanting to stay away from Ling Xiao.
He didn't want to experience this little lunatic's methods again!
Master Tiger's performance was naturally not concealed from everyone present.
Xiao Yue and Liu Junhuan were both surprised. They secretly guessed whether there was any grudge between them?
Ling Xiao just glanced at Master Hu coldly, then looked away, and instead said something shocking.
"Is Her Majesty the Princess asking about tiger bone wine? There is no need to look far away in this matter. I gave him the wine."
