Chapter 175: Third-Order Talisman
Lin Jing knew that it must be because of the last incident when he, posing as the Elixir Valley Heir, “sent” a few elixir medicines to Elder Yu.
This act had left a very good impression on Huang Qingling.
Now, encountering this imitator who claimed to be a Symbol Master’s successor and set up a stall just like the Elixir Valley Heir, she immediately felt uncomfortable.
So…
She hadn’t even met this “Symbol Master’s heir” and already she harbored a poor impression of him.
“It’s just…”
“Isn’t this just someone using the name of the Elixir Valley Heir to deceive others…”
Li Qingqing also chimed in from the side.
“Brother, do talismans have something like that ‘Pure Talismans’ similar to
Pure Elixir Medicine?”
Li Tangyu shook his head and said,
“No, the highest quality for talismans is the superior talismans.” Afterward, he looked thoughtfully at the stall in front of him.
“Let’s go have a look…”
“Okay…”
“I want to see just what kind of impressive talismans he has here,” said Huang Qingling as she walked ahead.
Lin Jing and the others followed suit, arriving at the stall.
They saw many talismans on display, including various First Rank and Second Rank talismans.
In the center of the stall, there was a delicately crafted wooden box.
Inside the wooden box lay a talisman that was unlike the others; it was a bit larger, and the entire talisman emitted a faint golden glow.
“A Third Rank talisman…” Zhang Yuan spoke up directly.
“You have quite an eye, friend. This is indeed a Third Rank talisman.”
Lin Jing looked up to see the stall owner.
The stall owner appeared quite thin, with a dirt-yellow robe hanging loosely on his frame, not fitting very well.
The stall owner was smiling at this moment, gazing at the group.
“May I ask what kind of talisman you are looking for? I have all kinds here.”
Hearing the stall owner speak like this, Huang Qingling wasn’t pleased and then said, “You have every kind of talisman here?”
“Of course…”
The stall owner lifted his head and spoke, exuding great confidence.
At this point, Li Tangyu opened his mouth:
“Fellow cultivator, I wonder how much you are selling this Third Rank talisman for.”
The stall owner paused for a moment before responding,
“This Third Rank talisman… it’s not for sale…” “Not for sale? Then why display it at all?”
Huang Qingling spoke up directly, countering,
“Look at your stall, you’re even copying the Elixir Valley Heir. When the Elixir Valley Heir sets up a stall, no matter what the Pure Elixir Medicine is, it’s for sale.”
“But you, on the other hand, display them but don’t sell them…”
However, the stall owner didn’t get angry, instead, he looked at Huang
Qingling and said plainly,
“Fellow cultivator, you misunderstand…”
“The reason why I do this is actually to wait here for the Elixir Valley Heir, hoping to exchange this talisman for a few Pure Elixir Medicines from him…”
As he explained, everyone suddenly understood that this was his way of seeking out the Elixir Valley Heir.
Then the stall owner continued,
“It was also a month ago when I heard about the Elixir Valley Heir’s deeds that I came to Nanshan Market, hoping to exchange some elixir medicines from the hands of the Elixir Valley Heir.”
“But now, having set up shop here for already half a month, the Elixir Valley Heir has never appeared.”
“Sigh…
After saying this, the stall owner even heaved a sigh.
Upon hearing this, Huang Qingling also realized that his intention was to seek out the Elixir Valley Heir in this manner. “May I ask if you, fellow cultivator, have ever seen the Elixir Valley Heir?”
Huang Qingling nodded and said,
“I have seen him, but…
However, before Huang Qingling could finish talking, the stall owner interrupted:
“I don’t know, friend, if you can get in touch with the Elixir Valley Heir, I want to buy a few Elixirs from him…’
Huang Qingling fell silent for a moment before saying:
“That Elixir Valley Heir is very mysterious, I don’t even Imow who he is, let alone how to contact him.”
“The only times I’ve seen him were in this black market.”
The stall owner seemed somewhat disappointed.
Just then, Lin Jing spoke up and asked:
“May I know, fellow daoist, what kind of Elixir Medicine you plan to exchange for this Third Rank Talisman?”
The stall owner selling the Talisman replied:
“For this Talisman, I plan to exchange for one Pure Detoxification Elixir, and one Pure Accumulation Pill,”
“In addition to these two Elixirs, there needs to be one more Pure Foundation Building Elixir… ”
After hearing this, Li Tangyu slightly frowned and said:
“The other Elixirs are manageable, but the Pure Foundation Building Elixir is too hard to find…
The stall owner took the wooden box in hand, showed it to everyone, and then said:
“Please, look, friends, this Talisman is made from the fur of a Golden Core Demonic Beast, and inscribed by a Golden Core Immortal. The Talisman itself gleams with a golden light that doesn’t dissipate, and occasional flashes of lightning arcs can be seen.”
“This Talisman is none other than a Superior Extinguishing True Heaven
Thunder Talisman, its power is quite formidable. Even when facing a Golden Core Cultivator, this Talisman can at least severely injure, if not endanger their life.”
“If we’re talking value, this Talisman is not cheap at all. Exchanging it for the
Elixirs I mentioned earlier is more than enough.”
As he said this, the stall owner furrowed his brows and added:
“But…’
“Those Pure Elixir Medicines are really too hard to find, otherwise I wouldn’t only exchange it for so little.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
This Third Rank Talisman is indeed as the stall owner described. Although it’s a consumable item, its materials are not easier to find than Third Rank Elixirs.
The stall owner mentioned a few Elixirs that Lin Jing could actually produce,
He had both the Pure Foundation Building Elixir and the Pure Accumulation Pill on him right now.
However, he didn’t have the Pure Detoxification Elixir, because most of what he refined was the Gathering Yuan Pill he needed, and he didn’t make many other Elixirs.
Given time, he could definitely refine it though.
But upon seeing this Third Rank Talisman, Lin Jing was tempted as well.
Especially considering his upcoming plans, having this Third Rank Talisman would be very beneficial.
“Forget it, we can’t afford this Third Rank Talisman, let’s buy some other Talismans instead…” Qing Qing said.
The others also nodded in agreement.
“Moving on…”
“They bought some Second Rank Talismans from this stall owner.” “Some were for attack, some for defense, and others had special functions…”
After purchasing the Talismans, they wanted to see if there were any Magic Artifacts worth their attention.
However…
After another round in the black market, they didn’t find any Magic Artifacts that were a good fit.
So, after some discussion, they decided to leave the black market.
The next day.
Lin Jing spent the entire day in the System Space, constantly trying to refine a Pure Detoxification Elixir.
No one disturbed him the whole day.
Unfortunately, by nightfall, when Lin Jing came out of the System Space, he still hadn’t succeeded in refining the Pure Detoxification Elixir.
Seeing that time was running short, Lin Jing could only go to the black market to see if he could replace the Detoxification Elixir with other Pure Elixir Medicines.
If that really didn’t work out, he would have to see then.
Next…
Lin Jing changed into a different set of clothes and used The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon to alter his appearance and aura, disguising himself before leaving the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Lin Jing headed straight for the Fang Market outside..
