Big dreamer

"Of course not. I am very grateful to Mr. Shen for helping me out today." Shopkeeper Ma bowed quickly.

The two talked and walked back into the shop.

"Shopkeeper Ma, I came here today to buy some more talisman paper and spiritual materials." Shen Luo sat down and stated his purpose.

At this time, Ma Xiuxiu brought him a cup of fine tea, and then with a slightly red cheek, she retreated into the inner hall again, and only dared to glance at Shen Luo with the corner of her eyes.

Shen Luo did not notice the subtle movements of this little girl, and his eyes were always scanning the labels on the treasure box.

"What talisman paper and spiritual materials are you going to buy today, Mr. Shen?" Shopkeeper Ma asked.

"The spiritual materials are the same as last time. As for talisman paper... I want to buy some Qingshuang paper." Shen Luo retracted his gaze and said.

"In theory, Mr. Shen has done us a favor. It's fine to give spiritual materials such as Floating Shadow Jade and Golden Scallop to Mr. Shen without charging a penny. But this Qingshuang Paper... needs to be purchased with fairy jade, so it's not something we can give privately." Shopkeeper Ma said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"What's wrong with what you said, Shopkeeper Ma? Whether it's spiritual materials or talisman paper, just calculate it according to the original price." After saying that, Shen Luo stood up and took out a gold ingot and the fairy jade and placed them on the counter.

Shopkeeper Ma didn't think much of the gold ingot, but when he saw the fairy jade, his eyes lit up.

"What did the shopkeeper say last time? One fairy jade can buy ten pieces of Qingshuang talisman paper, right?" Shen Luo asked.

"Ten pieces? That's the price given to others. Since Mr. Shen can afford the fairy jade, we can sell you twelve pieces." Shopkeeper Ma said immediately.

"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Ma." Shen Luo was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Mr. Shen, please keep this gold ingot. The floating jade and other things are all added to the talisman paper. I will give them to you." Shopkeeper Ma waved his hand and said generously.

After that, he turned around and went to the treasure box without waiting for Shen Luo to speak, took out the talisman paper and spiritual materials, and handed them to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo suddenly remembered something and took out the gold foil engraved with runes from his sleeve and put it on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, you are knowledgeable. Can you help me take a look and see what this thing is?" Shen Luo said.

"No problem, let's take a look." Shopkeeper Ma said with a smile.

As he spoke, he had already reached out his hand, but when he was about to pick up the gold foil, his movement suddenly froze.

"This is..." Shopkeeper Ma's eyes flashed with an unbelievable look, and he hesitated.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Shen Luo asked.

Shopkeeper Ma had a solemn look on his face. He turned around and went to the inner hall. After washing his hands, he held a piece of clean cloth and carefully picked up the gold foil.

He put his eyes close to the gold foil and carefully checked the runes on it from top to bottom. Then he turned over and carefully checked the back of the gold foil. His face became a little excited.

"Yes, this pattern, this texture, it must be..." Shopkeeper Ma murmured with a slight tremor in his hands.

"Shopkeeper Ma, can you tell me what this is?" Shen Luo looked confused, but he knew that this gold foil was probably not a vulgar thing.

"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry. I was too excited when I suddenly saw this soul-soothing golden scepter and lost my composure." Shopkeeper Ma came back to his senses and said.

"Soul-soothing golden scepter?" Shen Luo said in surprise.

"The Hu board was originally a special item used by Taoist practitioners to perform Taoist rituals during the Luotian Grand Ceremony or Taoist rituals. It often records some words of prayer and sacrifice to express their wishes to the gods. There are different types because of their different functions. This kind of soul-suppressing golden Hu is very special. It is made of special gold essence and engraved with runes by Taoist masters. It is specially used to suppress evil spirits and resentful souls." Shopkeeper Ma explained.

When Shen Luo heard this, he remembered that when he found this golden Hu, it was hanging on the corpse bag. Now it seems that it is mostly used to suppress the dead souls.

"So this thing has such a history, but I wonder if your store will accept it?" Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"Mr. Shen, do you want to sell this thing?" Shopkeeper Ma was delighted to hear this and asked hurriedly.

"Sell or not...it depends on how much it is worth?" Shen Luo hesitated and said.

"To be honest, Lubaotang has collected a lot of things over the years, but this Soul-soothing Golden Scepter is the first time I have seen it. Young Master Shen has done us a favor, so we can't fool you with lies. Your Golden Scepter is in excellent condition, and the runes engraved on it seem to be unusual, and they are different from the Soul-soothing Runes we usually see. But I can't tell what it is specifically." Shopkeeper Ma said solemnly.

"Shopkeeper, frankly, how much are you willing to pay for this Golden Scepter?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Ma picked up the Golden Scepter and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, his expression became more and more entangled.

"Young Master Shen, I really can't determine the value of this Golden Scepter for the time being. How do you think about this? Let's mortgage it here with thirty fairy jades first, and then send a letter to the real boss of Lubaotang to let him determine the value. If he gives less, I will persuade the boss to make up for it later. If he gives more, it will be considered as repaying the favor of the young master." Shopkeeper Ma thought for a moment before speaking.

"Thirty immortal jades?" Shen Luo could hardly believe his ears when he heard this.

He could only receive one immortal jade every three months in the Bai family, a treatment that other low-ranking guests did not have at all. This piece of gold foil that he picked up with his bare hands could actually be exchanged for thirty immortal jades?

"Just as Shopkeeper Ma said, change it!" Shen Luowei hesitated again and said immediately.

This soul-suppressing golden wat is of no use to him at least at the moment. He has already memorized the runes on it. Now it is indeed the best choice to replace it with real immortal jade.

"Master Shen is such a cheerful person!" Shopkeeper Ma also touched his palm and said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Ma, the deal has been finalized. Can I ask one more question, why is there anything special about this golden wat and why is it so valuable?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

"Mr. Shen, to tell you the truth, we are willing to take this gamble because we see something different." Shopkeeper Ma hesitated for a moment and then said.

"I would like to hear the details." Shen Luo said.

"The soul-suppressing golden wat is actually similar to the soul-suppressing talisman, except that it contains stronger spiritual power and the effect lasts longer. However, it is a consumable thing after all. It is not easy to be used for more than ten years. And yours This golden scepter seems to be quite old at first glance, and the runes on it are still very impressive, and there is no sign that they have been infected by evil spirits. So we guess that if it is not made of excellent material, it must be the engraved rune. A person's cultivation level is extremely high, which has extraordinary meaning in itself," Shopkeeper Ma explained.

When Shen Luo heard this, he immediately understood.
