The ancestor of talismans

"Fellow Daoist Ye, how much are these wood chips?"

Xu Changshou weighed them for a while and asked.

Ye Xinghe stroked his beard and said with a smile: "They are all waste materials. Give me two hundred spirit stones."

"Okay!"

Xu Changshou gave Ye Xinghe two hundred spirit stones without hesitation.

For Xu Changshou, whether the thousand-year-old spirit wood is waste or not, the function is the same. Buying these scraps is much more cost-effective than buying a whole piece of thousand-year-old spirit wood.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, if you still have waste materials here in the future, can you sell them all to me?" Xu Changshou said.

Ye Xinghe smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoist Xu, these wood chips are what we have accumulated for hundreds of years. If you want to buy more, there will be no more."

"Is that so..."

Xu Changshou couldn't help but frown. His plan to collect waste materials fell through.

You know, Wanbao Pavilion has such a big business, and it took hundreds of years to accumulate such a small amount of waste materials, not to mention other small shops.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, if you really need thousand-year-old spirit wood, I recommend you to go to a place." Ye Xinghe suddenly said.

Xu Changshou was surprised: "Where?"

"Go to the Xiuxian Guild."

"Xiuxian Guild."

Xu Changshou scratched his head, looking confused.

I have never heard of the Xiuxian Guild.

Seeing him like this, Ye Xinghe smiled and explained: "The so-called Xiuxian Guild is a construction organization jointly developed by the five major Xiuxian sects in Dongyu. Only after reaching the foundation-building stage can you enter the Xiuxian Guild."

"I see!"

Xu Changshou nodded slightly.

He had just built his foundation not long ago, and after building his foundation, he had been in seclusion in the sect, so it was normal that he had never heard of this Xiuxian Guild.

Xu Changshou thought for a moment and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, what is the role of this Xiuxian Guild?"

Ye Xinghe said, "The Xiuxian Guild is a platform in the Dongyu Xiuxian world, providing various information for cultivators. Cultivators can post tasks in the Xiuxian Guild and accept tasks. For example, if you want to buy a thousand-year-old spiritual wood, you can post a message in the Xiuxian Guild. Of course, after completing the task, the Xiuxian Guild will get a share of the reward."

Xu Changshou: "How much can it be divided?"

Ye Xinghe: "Generally, it is 50-50. If it is a more dangerous and fatal task, the cultivator will be rewarded more, maybe 30-70."

Xu Changshou curled his lips: "This Xiuxian Guild is really deceptive."

Xu Changshou was speechless. What Xiuxian Guild is, to put it bluntly, it is a tool for the five major immortal gates to make money.

The Xiuxian Guild does nothing, just provides information, and wants to take half of the reward. This is simply sucking blood.

Of course, the Xiuxian Guild was jointly opened by the five major immortal sects, and the intelligence agency is the top of the five major immortal sects. They are naturally blessed with information.

If the foundation-building cultivators want to make money and issue tasks, they can only do so in the Xiuxian Guild. There is no better channel except the Xiuxian Guild.

Xu Changshou then realized that after becoming a foundation-building cultivator, he still could not avoid the fate of being exploited, but this kind of exploitation is more secretive and invisible.

Ye Xinghe covered his lips with his index finger: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the people in the Xiuxian Guild hear it, otherwise it will be troublesome."

"Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Ye, I'll take my leave."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, take care."

...

After leaving the Wanbao Pavilion, it was already dark.

Xu Changshou had a lot of things to do and didn't plan to return to the sect in the short term.

So he came to Pingyang Post Station and found a room to live in.

After entering the room, Xu Changshou took out the formation and simply arranged it before letting Hongyi come out.

"Hongyi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Here's the Soul-Calming Pill for you."

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Changshou threw the pill to Hongyi. She took it and took a look: "Five pills. You don't need so many. Three pills are enough."

Xu Changshou smiled and said: "I was afraid you wouldn't have enough, so I bought two more."

"Thank you, Master."

"Okay, you're welcome. When will you go into seclusion? Where will you go into seclusion?"

Hongyi said: "I can go into seclusion in the Soul-Calming Jade. I have to go into seclusion right away. The sooner the better."

Xu Changshou asked: "Are you sure you can break through the evil spirit realm?"

Hongyi Hongyi nodded: "With these pills, I will definitely be able to break through the evil ghost realm."

Xu Changshou asked again: "What is the difference in breaking through the evil ghost realm?"

Hongyi thought for a while and said: "After breaking through the evil ghost realm, your strength will definitely increase."

"How strong is it? Can you fight against a foundation-building cultivator?"

Hongyi smiled: "Dealing with a foundation-building cultivator is definitely a piece of cake. Strengthening strength is one aspect. After breaking through the evil ghost realm, I will no longer be afraid of the sun and can walk in the sun without restraint."

"Okay!"

Xu Changshou nodded with satisfaction.

When Hongyi was in the ghost swelling realm, although she could see the sun, her strength would definitely be discounted if she was in the sun.

In addition, long-term sun exposure would be harmful to her.

Only when she reaches the evil ghost realm can she truly be fearless of the sun.

At that time, Hongyi will become a great helper to Xu Changshou, and he can ask Hongyi to help him do many things.

Of course, Xu Changshou is not worried about Hongyi's rebellion or slaves bullying their masters.

He and Hong Yi signed a master-servant contract. No matter how strong Hong Yi is, he cannot break the contract, otherwise he will be punished by heaven.

"The last question, how long will the retreat take?" Xu Changshou asked.

Hong Yi said seriously: "At least half a year, at most three to five years."

"Well, you can retreat with peace of mind, I will protect you."

"Thank you, Master. I'll take my leave."

Hongyi flashed and entered the Soul Nurturing Jade.

Hongyi began to retreat, and Xu Changshou also began to busy himself with his own things.

He took out the bag of broken wood pieces, took the thousand-year-old Jianmu in his hand, looked at it, weighed it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This thousand-year-old Jianmu is too small, only three taels. According to this weight, at most three sheets of paper can be made.

Thousand-year-old Jianmu is harder than ordinary thousand-year-old spiritual wood, and can be used to draw wooden thunder talismans.

The wooden thunder talisman can kill a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building in seconds. Although there are only three of them, it can be used as a trump card for Xu Changshou at present.

Xu Changshou took out the bronze spiritual mortar, pounded all the three or two thousand-year-old Jianmu into powder, and put them separately.

Then, pound the ordinary thousand-year-old spiritual wood.

Those ordinary thousand-year-old spiritual woods are not the same kind of wood, but they can be mixed together.

As long as they can be crushed and made into pulp, they can be made into paper. The functions are the same, but the colors are slightly different.

Soon, all the 20 kilograms of thousand-year-old spiritual wood were crushed and put into the Tong Ding by Xu Changshou, and boiled into pulp.

Xu Changshou took out the bamboo curtain, fished out the pulp, and turned it into pieces of talisman paper.

The three thousand-year-old Jianmu talisman papers were also made.

Then, Xu Changshou used the fireball technique to quickly dry the talisman paper.

When Xu Changshou drew the three wooden thunder talismans, it was already dawn outside.

After a busy night, he finally had one more trump card.
