"Don't tell me that Young Master Shen doesn't know the difference between the charms?" Shopkeeper Ma was surprised.
"I'm not sure about this. Please enlighten me," Shen Luo said.
"Then, I'll show you my incompetence … The charms are divided into different grades, and so are the charms. Among them, the yellow paper is the most common and inferior one. "Shopkeeper Ma laughed embarrassedly as he explained.
"I'm clear about this. The yellow charms are limited in the amount of magic power and the aura of heaven and earth. Therefore, it can only be used to draw low-level charms. The charms won't be able to withstand the magic power and will burn on their own if they are forced to draw high-level charms. So, what's the difference between the charms? "Shen Luo knew that the charms were superior to the yellow ones, but he didn't know what the difference was.
"Shen Daoyou, have you ever heard of the phrase 'Green Words and Green Chapters'?" Shopkeeper Ma asked.
"Of course I've heard of it. The phrase 'Green Words and Green Chapters' refers to the Taoist rituals. Why is the shopkeeper asking this? "Shen Luo nodded and said.
"The charms are also called 'Green Words and Green Words'," Shopkeeper Ma stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"So, this' Green Words and Green Words' is used to write Taoist rituals?" Shen Luo suddenly asked.
"Yes, this kind of charms were originally used to write 'Green Words and Green Chapters'. They were used to communicate with heaven and earth. However, a kind of spiritual material called 'Wishing Spirit Incense' was mixed into the charms. Therefore, it is easier to draw the aura of heaven and earth. Therefore, the success rate of the charms is higher, "Shopkeeper Ma said.
"What about the Purple Cloud Charms?" Shen Luo asked.
"The reason why this kind of charms are called 'Purple Cloud' is that the main material used to make it is a kind of spiritual material called 'Purple Spirit Red Grass'. Its growth environment is harsh, and its stock is very scarce. However, this grass is good at absorbing spiritual energy. After it is made into charms, it retains this characteristic. It can withstand more power than the 'Green Words and Green Words' charms. Therefore, it is often used to draw high-level charms, "Shopkeeper Ma said.
"I'm enlightened. How much are these two kinds of talisman paper? "Shen Luo immediately asked.
Shopkeeper Ma stroked his beard and said, "Green Word Paper isn't too expensive. One immortal jade can buy ten of them. But if you change it to Purple Cloud Paper, you can only buy one."
Shen Luo frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Only Immortal Jade can be used? Can't gold and silver be used?"
Shopkeeper Ma shook his head and said, "Young Master Shen, these two things are different from ordinary spiritual materials. They can only be purchased with immortal jades."
Shen Luo naturally didn't have any Celestial Jade at the moment. Of course, he couldn't borrow any from Bai Xiaotian. Therefore, he could only put aside the matter of trying to draw several other high-level talismans.
"Yellow Charm Paper is sufficient for the charms that I can draw at the moment. Using such high-grade charms would be a waste of God's gifts. Shen Luo's expression remained unchanged as he said with a smile.
"It's fine, it's fine. These charms are here. They can't grow wings and fly away. It won't be too late for Shen Daoyou to come here and buy them after you've learned the essence of charms and can draw high-level charms. "Shopkeeper Ma calmly put away the wooden box and said with a smile.
After that, Shen Luo deliberately looked at some spiritual materials and found that only the Thunderbolt Wood was suitable to be used to refine the Pure Yang Talisman Sword. Unfortunately, it also required celestial jades, so he could only give up.
After Bai Xiaotian helped him buy the Floating Image Jade and other items, the two of them left the Treasure Recording Hall.
"Where do you think I can get immortal jades?" Shen Luo asked on the way back.
"Immortal jades are different from gold and silver. Ordinary people can't come into contact with them. However, sometimes when the family accepts a request to subdue a demon, the other party will also use immortal jades as a reward. As for other places, you can go to some sect and be a consecrator. Maybe you can get it. "Bai Xiaotian said.
"Shopkeeper Ma said that they also buy the charms that are drawn. I wonder if they can use immortal jades?" Shen Luo rubbed his chin and asked again.
"What are you thinking? Stop dreaming! It's only possible if it's a high-level charm, right? Ordinary low-level charms can only be sold in gold and silver. Moreover, they have to be offensive charms to be worth some money. "Bai Xiaotian rolled his eyes at Shen Luo and immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him.
Shen Luo chuckled and thought about the Lightning Talisman and the Flight Talisman in his heart. These talismans were not low-level talismans. If he could really sell them, he would definitely be able to pay with Celestial Jades. Unfortunately, he did not have any extra money to buy the talisman paper and materials needed to draw the talisman.
The two of them chatted casually as the carriage passed by the Zhenhuai Bridge.
Shen Luo lifted a corner of the carriage's curtain and looked outside. She saw that the people who had gathered to watch the excitement on the bridge had already dispersed. The corpse on the shore of the backyard of the Water Heating Pavilion seemed to have been taken away by the family members.
He slowly retracted his gaze and was about to put down the carriage curtain when he was suddenly shocked.
Because he saw a familiar flower pattern on the back of the River Suppressing Beast at the end of the bridge.
"Red Spider Lilies …"
Shen Luo muttered in his heart. When he wanted to take a closer look, the carriage had already crossed the bridge and turned into the street on the right.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xiaotian saw his strange expression and asked.
"Nothing. I just thought that the River Suppressing Beast looked a little strange, so I took a second look." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and didn't tell the truth.
"That thing is quite old. There are many of them along the river in Jianye City. It's said that when Jianye City was first built, there were two floods in Qinhuai River and half of the city was submerged. After a Yin Yang Celestial Master investigated, he said that the river was too strong and the evil spirit was rampant. Therefore, the government ordered to build many River Suppressing Beasts to suppress the river. Since then, Qinhuai River has been well-behaved and there haven't been any major floods. "Bai Xiaotian didn't suspect anything and explained to Shen Luo.
"If that's the case, then the Celestial Master must be a real expert." Shen Luo said thoughtfully.
After the carriage had traveled for a while, Shen Luo suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know about the Temple of Spring and Autumn? How's the investigation?"
"There's no progress for now. After father sent a letter to the Ruoshui Sect and a few other cultivation sects, he immediately sent people there to cooperate with the investigation. When they arrived, they found that the entire Temple of Spring and Autumn had been burned down. All traces were obliterated and nothing could be found. "Bai Xiaotian sighed and said.
"What about Gu Hualing and Wang Qingsong? Have you investigated them?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.
"Wang Qingsong entered the sect very early and rarely interacted with outsiders. The only people who know about him are probably Master Luo, Master Feng Yang, and Martial Granduncle. Unfortunately, their lives are unknown, so there's no clue. As for Gu Hualing, he was brought into the sect by Wang Qingsong. Whether his identity was fake or not, there's nothing we can find now. "Bai Xiaotian thought for a while and said.
"So, so many disciples of the Temple of Spring and Autumn died in vain?" Shen Luo said with a cold expression.
