The streets were bustling with people. Every shop was bustling with activity. It was an extraordinarily lively scene.
Wang Changsheng noticed that the people on the streets were dressed in a variety of clothing. Some were bare-chested, some were wrapped in a piece of animal skin, and some were wrapped up tightly, not revealing a single bit of skin. What was even more outrageous was that a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was wearing a pink dress, which made him look very strange.
"Chen's Forging Shop is a century-old shop. Customers can provide materials to forge their weapons, and the price is quite reasonable. It's okay to forge high-grade magic weapons, but it's a bit difficult to forge top-grade magic weapons. The Song's Bookstore is a 200-year-old shop. They sell maps of the islands around Xing Luo Island and the locations of the demon beasts. The Hundred Fragrance House sells all kinds of spirit tea, but the price is not cheap. Cultivators who come from powerful families can buy it at a discount. The Hundred Herbs House sells healing pills for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Building Stage, but you have to pre-order in advance. The price is a bit cheaper compared to the big shops …" Han Guang pointed at the shops on both sides of the street and introduced them one by one.
Han Guang's comments were pertinent. There were many cultivators walking in and out of the shops he introduced, and it was very lively. Obviously, Han Guang was not an actor.
After listening to Han Guang's introduction, Wang Changsheng nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, his expression changed and he stopped walking. He asked, "Tell me more about the Heavenly Charm Pavilion."
"This …" Han Guang's face showed an awkward expression, as if there was something that he did not want to say.
"If you want to be paid five spirit stones, tell me the truth," Wang Changsheng said indifferently.
After hearing this, Han Guang's expression changed. After thinking for a while, he said, "The Heavenly Talisman Pavilion sells various low and middle grade talismans to the public. Although the price is slightly higher, because the quality of the talismans is good, the business is not bad. However, since the few talisman masters of the Heavenly Talisman Pavilion were transferred away half a year ago, the newly transferred talisman masters are not good enough. The Heavenly Talisman Pavilion's business has shrunk by a lot."
Wang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. He then asked, "The Heavenly Charm Pavilion is not the only shop that sells charms in Xingluo City, right? If I want to buy talismans, which shop should I go to? "
"The Water Shadow Sect's Thousand Talismans Hall is right across from the Heavenly Talisman Pavilion." Han Guang hesitated for a moment before replying truthfully. After he finished speaking, he cautiously glanced at Wang Changsheng with a somewhat nervous expression.
It was not a good thing to talk bad about the Taiqing Palace in front of the Taiqing Palace disciples. He was just a casual practitioner, and he could not afford to offend the disciples of these big sects.
Just as Han Guang was feeling anxious, Wang Changsheng spoke, "How far are we from the Heavenly Talisman Pavilion? Bring me there quickly."
Han Guang nodded and continued to lead Wang Changsheng forward.
After the time it took to eat a meal, Wang Changsheng followed Han Guang to a silver pavilion that was over two hundred feet tall.
The Heavenly Talisman Pavilion had a total of five floors. The first floor was a spacious hall where five or six customers were choosing goods. Seven or eight green-clothed attendants stood at the door with their hands folded behind their backs.
Opposite the silver pavilion was a blue pavilion that was over ten feet tall. A large number of cultivators were entering and exiting the blue pavilion, creating a very lively atmosphere. It was a clear contrast to the deserted silver pavilion.
"Senior, this is the Heavenly Talisman Pavilion. The first floor sells low-level charms, the second floor sells mid-level charms, and the third floor is where you can order charms." Han Guang pointed at the silver pavilion and introduced.
"En, this is your reward." Wang Changsheng nodded and took out five spirit stones and handed them to Han Guang. Under Han Guang's grateful gaze, he walked into the silver pavilion.
As soon as Wang Changsheng entered the hall, a green-clothed attendant walked over and respectfully said, "Martial Uncle, how may I be of service to you?"
"Yi, you can speak the Song language?" Immortal Wang let out a light cry of surprise, a hint of surprise flashing past his face.
"Disciple only knows the daily language. I don't know anything else. What does Martial Uncle want to buy? Disciple can help introduce a few things to Martial Uncle," the green-clothed attendant said enthusiastically.
"No need. Who is in charge here? Take me to see him." Wang Changsheng shook his head and ordered without any trace of politeness.
"Manager Huang is in charge here. She is on the fourth floor. Martial Uncle, please follow me." The green-clothed attendant did not dare to be negligent and led Wang Changsheng to the fourth floor.
When they passed by the second and third floors, Wang Changsheng discovered that there were no customers on the second and third floors. The green-clothed attendants in charge of receiving customers were gathered together and chatting.
The fourth floor was a spacious hall. When Wang Changsheng walked up to the fourth floor, he saw a man and a woman chatting casually.
The man was over forty years old. His appearance was ordinary, but his body emitted a faint killing intent. The woman was a woman in her forties. Her facial features were gorgeous and her figure was voluptuous.
Both of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage. The one with the highest cultivation level was the middle-aged woman, who was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Seeing Wang Changsheng come up, the two stopped talking. The green-clothed attendant who came up with Wang Changsheng quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in the middle-aged woman's ear.
After the middle-aged woman heard this, she nodded and smiled at Wang Changsheng. "So it's Junior Brother from the headquarters. How can I help Junior Brother?"
Wang Changsheng heard this and did not answer. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man.
"Junior Brother Li is also a disciple of our sect. You are not an outsider. Junior Brother, if you have something to say, please say it." The middle-aged woman smiled and said.
"Oh right, I am the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Talisman Pavilion, Huang Jingmei. This is Junior Brother Li. How should I address you?"
"Junior Brother Wang Changsheng. I have been ordered to take up the post of Talisman Crafting Master." Wang Changsheng replied truthfully. After he finished speaking, he took out a blue token and threw it to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman took the blue token and looked at it. She nodded and carefully looked at Wang Changsheng. She smiled and asked, "What kind of Talismans does Brother Wang know how to draw?"
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng thought for a moment and said the names of several intermediate Talismans.
"Junior Brother really knows how to draw these intermediate Talismans? What is the success rate? "The middle-aged woman's eyes were full of doubt. She obviously did not believe Wang Changsheng.
Generally speaking, Talisman Crafting Masters had to cultivate Talisman Crafting Techniques. Talisman Crafting Masters with a higher level of Talisman Crafting Skills generally did not have a high cultivation level. Wang Changsheng looked young, but he was already at the late Foundation Establishment stage. This was already very rare.
It was hard to believe that Wang Changsheng knew how to draw seven or eight intermediate Talismans.
The middle-aged man's eyes were also full of doubt. He obviously did not believe Wang Changsheng.
Seeing this situation, Wang Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "If Senior Sister Huang does not believe me, I can draw it now. I'll have to trouble Senior Sister to prepare a quiet room and ten dozen intermediate Talisman Papers for me."
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman's beautiful eyes turned and she said with a smile, "No need. I believe Brother Wang. How about this! Junior Brother has just come from the headquarters. I'm afraid you're not familiar with the local situation. You can go to the 5th floor's 5th Talisman Crafting Room. Hmm, I'll provide you with a hundred dozen intermediate Talisman Skins every month. Junior Brother's monthly Contribution Points will be based on the number of Talismans you hand in. What do you think? "
"No problem." Wang Changsheng nodded in agreement.
The middle aged woman nodded when she saw this, and then she instructed the green clothed attendant at the side. "Li Yang, take Junior Brother Wang to the number 5 talisman crafting room on the fifth floor. You don't have to wait in the hall in the future, stay on the fifth floor and serve Junior Brother Wang!"
After speaking, the middle-aged woman took out a silver jade tablet and handed it to Wang Changsheng. She said, "Brother Wang, the 5th Talisman Crafting Room is fully equipped. You won't be disturbed when you craft Talismans inside. There's also a small Spirit Returning Formation inside. It has the effect of speeding up Fa Li recovery and calming the mind. This is the key to open the door. It's also needed to activate the Spirit Returning Formation."
Wang Changsheng nodded and took the silver jade tablet. He followed the green-clothed attendant who had a happy expression to the 5th floor.
Looking at Wang Changsheng's departing figure, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and released a soundproof cover to cover him and the middle-aged woman. He said, "Senior Sister Huang, can this Brother Wang from the headquarters really draw so many intermediate Talismans? Do you want me to find you a Talisman Crafting Master in the headquarters who can draw intermediate Talismans? "
"I don't know. But, if the headquarters sent him to the Star Sea, this person most likely has some ability. Of course, we still have to make preparations. Junior Brother Li, help me find a Talisman Crafting Master who can draw intermediate Talismans. If this person doesn't have any ability, find an excuse to dismiss him and replace him with someone else," the middle-aged woman said while shaking her head.
Then, she suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, what about the matter I asked you to investigate? Where were Elder Zhao and Elder Li who were originally working in the Heavenly Charm Pavilion transferred to? Is there someone who covets my position and deliberately transferred them away? "Her face was covered with frost as she spoke.
"I've checked. Elder Zhao and Elder Li were transferred to the outer sea. The outer sea has a higher demand for Talismans and can also sell them at a better price. As for whether someone deliberately transferred them away, I don't know for the time being. Do you want to continue investigating?" the middle-aged man said slowly.
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman's face showed a touch of hesitation. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "Forget it! This matter ends here, there's no need to investigate further. In any case, there are many people coveting my position, so it's useless to find out who did it. It wouldn't be good if we accidentally found out something we shouldn't know. This is your reward. "Saying so, she took out a heavy storage pouch from her sleeve and threw it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took the storage bag, opened it and glanced at it. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Zhou, if you want to investigate something in the future, don't forget to look for me! If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first! "
After saying that, he got up and walked downstairs.
The middle-aged woman looked at the middle-aged man's back and then looked at the stairs leading to the fifth floor. Her face showed a thoughtful expression.
Wang Changsheng followed the green-robed attendant to the fifth floor. The first thing that entered his eyes was a rather spacious hall. The ceiling of the hall was inlaid with moonstones that were emitting bursts of white halos. The entire hall was brightly illuminated.
More than ten stone tables were placed in the hall. Animal skins, charm brushes, cinnabar and other charm-making tools were placed on top of the tables. A person was sitting at each stone table. Some were busy drawing Talismans. Two or three people were gathered together, and discussing something in a low voice.
There was a half-feet-wide corridor in the upper right corner of the hall. It was unknown where it led to.
A tall bald man saw Wang Changsheng and the middle-aged man. He frowned and said a few words that Wang Changsheng couldn't understand.
Wang Changsheng saw this and raised his eyebrows. Then, he moved his gaze to the green-robed attendant beside him.
"This Martial Uncle said that this is an important place for charm-making. So, no one is allowed to trespass," the green-robed attendant hurriedly explained.
"You tell them that I am the new charm-making master," Wang Changsheng instructed the green-robed attendant. He took out the silver jade token that the middle-aged woman had given him and shook it in front of everyone.
The green-robed attendant nodded and explained a few words to the bald man. The bald man's complexion eased a lot. He pointed at the corridor behind him and said a few words.
"Martial Uncle Wang Changsheng, this Martial Uncle Song said that the number five charm-making room is in the corridor. You will see it once you walk in," the green-robed attendant explained to Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng heard this and nodded towards the bald man. Then, he lifted his foot and walked towards the corridor.
Wang Changsheng hadn't walked far when he saw a stone room with an open door. The door of the stone room was engraved with a golden "Five" character.
He walked into the stone room. There was a space of forty to fifty feet inside. There was a stone table and a few stone chairs. There was a round stone door in the upper left corner. There was a groove in the middle of the stone door.
Wang Changsheng quickly walked over and put the silver jade token in the groove. He injected his magic power into it. A silver light flashed and the stone door opened automatically with a "Peng" sound.
There was a stone room of more than a hundred feet inside. There was a round stone table and a few stone chairs. There was also a white magic circle of ten feet in the upper right corner of the stone room. There were several grooves on it. It seemed that this was the Spirit Returning Magic Circle that the middle-aged woman had mentioned.
"You stay outside. I will call you if something happens," Wang Changsheng instructed the green-robed attendant. Then, he closed the stone door.
Wang Changsheng walked towards the white magic circle. He took out a few spirit stones and put them in the grooves on the magic circle. He injected his magic power into the silver jade token and shook it at the magic circle under his feet.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed from the silver jade token and submerged into the magic circle.
The white magic circle suddenly exuded a bright white light. A white mist emerged out of thin air and rushed towards Wang Changsheng's body.
Wang Changsheng felt refreshed as the white mist approached his body. However, he didn't use his magic power. So, there was no change in his magic power.
It didn't take long for the white mist to enter Wang Changsheng's body. Wang Changsheng felt refreshed and full of energy. The spirit stones in the grooves also turned greyish-white.
Wang Changsheng nodded. He was very satisfied with the environment here.
Compared to the Golden Dragon Palace where he had lived before, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this charm crafting room was relatively thin. But, it was fortunate that there was a Spiritual Returning Array. It could speed up the recovery of his magic power and calm his mind. It was enough for him to draw charms. If he wanted to cultivate, he would have to go to a place where spiritual energy was more abundant. But, he had to learn the language of this place before that.
Thinking up to this point, Wang Changsheng took out a blue storage pouch, opened it, and poured out the contents.
Five pieces of middle-grade spirit stones, three jade slips, and three sets of clothes. These were all the things inside the storage bag.
