"Cultivators passing by, come and taste the special eight-winged fly larvae of Hundred Insect Village. There are deep-fried, pan-fried, and crispy fried ones. The taste is excellent, and it has the ability to quickly restore Spirit Qi. At the same time, our shop also provides the golden whips of adult Tiger-Wolf Beasts, which can strengthen Yang and tendons. It's a must-try for Dual Cultivation partners!"
On the street, a servant in blue was shouting loudly. Behind him was a three-story building with a plaque that said "Hundred Insect Taste". It seemed to be a restaurant.
Ye Kong was amused and asked, "Ancestor, so there's a restaurant in this market. I didn't expect it."
Ancestor Acheron sneered, "What's so strange about that? You can't abstain from food until you reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Cultivators in the Aura Refining stage also need to eat."
"I thought they all eat Fasting Pills."
"Many cultivators can't get rid of their desire for good food. How can Fasting Pills be as delicious as food? Not to mention the Aura Refining stage, even many cultivators in the Yuanying stage like to make some small dishes to drink. These dishes and spirit wine have the effect of nourishing and cultivating Primordial Qi. "
Ye Kong nodded and said with a smile, "Ancestor, since we're here, why don't we go in and have a taste of the cultivator's food?"
Ancestor Acheron knew that he was reluctant, so he sneered back, "I wonder how many dishes you can cook with your 14 spirit stones."
Alas, a hero is stumped by a lack of money. Ye Kong shook his head helplessly and continued to walk forward.
In the Hundred Insect Stronghold's market square, most of the shops sold insects, followed by spirit grasses and medicinal herbs. There were also a few shops that sold magic tools, but it was clear that business was slow. It seemed that magic tools were very expensive, so there were very few buyers.
Ye Kong really wanted to buy a flying Dharma artifact, but he was so poor that he could only go in and take a look, then come out.
"Low-grade flying sword, can be used for fighting and flying, 150 spirit stones."
"Low-grade Dharma artifact, Qinghong Silk, can fly extremely fast, and has the effect of binding immortals, 210 spirit stones."
Ye Kong's heart itched, but when he thought of the few spirit stones he had, he could only shake his head and leave.
The beast bone Dharma artifact he used was too trashy. the shop didn't sell this kind of thing at all, so he probably could buy three for 10 spirit stones.
As he walked forward, his eyes lit up.
"Soul Banner (Lifeless Soul), created by a Core Formation Ancestor. It can store thousands of living souls. It is extremely powerful and exquisitely crafted. Five hundred spirit stones."
"Wow, this soul streamer is so expensive. I wonder how much money my Hundred Soul Streamer can sell for?" Ye Kong suddenly had an idea to sell Xia Hui's Hundred Soul Streamer.
"Trash!" Patriarch Acheron opened his mouth again and scolded, "How can your trash banner compare to theirs? The other one was made by a Core Formation cultivator, but yours was made by a middle Aura Refining cultivator. Although you have living souls, they're all mortal souls. How can you compare to the other one? "
Although Ye Kong still wanted to take out the Hundred Soul Streamer for the shopkeeper to appraise, he still shook his head and walked out of the shop after recalling the scene of him being laughed at.
"Spirit stones! I want Spirit Stones! " Ye Kong shouted in his heart. In the past, he always wanted to come to the market square, but when he came, he found that he was so poor that he couldn't buy anything.
"Don't worry, it's just the beginning." Patriarch Acheron comforted him and said, "Aren't you here to buy talisman papers? If you really know how to make talismans, you can also make a lot of money. "
"Yes!" Ye Kong patted his head. There were too many things in the market square. He was so dazzled that he actually forgot his main purpose.
His purpose was to buy talisman papers and to find medicinal pills for his mother's face.
"But why haven't I seen any shops that sell talisman papers and medicinal pills after walking so far?" Ye Kong was somewhat puzzled. These should be the best selling things in the market square, so why didn't he see them? Could it be that his words were true? Barbarian cultivators' skills in making talismans and concocting pills were too poor?
This market square had a T-shaped structure. There was a long plaza in front and a straight street at the back.
Ye Kong walked all the way to the end of the street and didn't see a single medicinal pill shop. It seemed that there was a shortage of medicinal pills here. However, at the last shop at the end of the street, he found a shop that sold talismans.
"Cloud Talisman Pavilion, such a big name. Could it be that the Cloud Talisman Sect opened it here?" Ye Kong frowned. When he saw the two words "Cloud Talisman", it made him recall the story of Zhang Wude. Wasn't the Cloud Talisman Sect the country's guardian immortal sect of Wu Country?
Walking into the Cloud Talisman Pavilion, Ye Kong found that there were many cultivators looking for talismans that were suitable for them.
"I want that Earth Escape Talisman."
"Ten Spirit Stones."
"Oh, and that Ice Needle Spell."
"Ice Needle Spell is inferior-middle-grade. Forty Spirit Stones."
This Cloud Talisman Pavilion's business was really good. Although it was the last shop in the market, its business was the best. Not only was it filled with cultivators, but there were also people who constantly took out their Spirit Stones to buy talismans.
It made sense. Compared to Dharma artifacts, talismans were cheaper. Although they could only be used once, they could use Ice Needle this time and Firebird the next time. They didn't have a single function like Dharma artifacts.
Furthermore, talismans had functions that Dharma artifacts didn't have. For example, the Earth Escape Talisman could be used to escape if one couldn't win. There was also the Divine Strider Talisman, which stuck to one's leg and allowed one to run very fast without feeling tired.
Therefore, low-level cultivators liked to carry a few talismans with them in case of emergencies.
However, although the Cloud Talisman Pavilion's business was good, there were also discordant voices.
A northern cultivator in a scholarly robe shouted indignantly, "The talismans you are selling are not authentic Cloud Talisman Sect's talismans! I bought a Firebird Spell the last time and released it. There were only over fifty firebirds! The authentic Cloud Talisman Sect's Firebird Spell has 108 firebirds, not one less! "
When this northern cultivator shouted, the noise in the shop quieted down. A few cultivators who wanted to buy talismans also stopped.
At this moment, a short bald man walked out of the back room and scolded fiercely, "Who the hell are you! Do you understand! The Firebird Spell has 56 firebirds! How can there be 108 of them? "
When this person came out and shouted, they immediately heard the barbarian cultivators talking to each other. "Since Perfected Bald Eagle has come out, I'm afraid it can't be wrong."
"That's right. Perfected Bald Eagle is the best Talisman Master of our barbarian race. How can he be wrong?"
"That's right. I heard that Perfected Bald Eagle has cultivated in the Cloud Talisman Sect for 50 years and is highly regarded. The talismans he makes are the most authentic Cloud Talisman Sect's talismans."
When a few cultivators in the crowd said this, someone immediately followed and said, "The talismans I have been buying here, the Firebird Spell has 56 firebirds, right?"
The short man called Perfected Bald Eagle smiled smugly and raised his hand to take out a black token. He said loudly, "Everyone can take a look. This is the proof of being a disciple of the Cloud Talisman Sect. The talismans produced by this shop are definitely authentic Cloud Talisman Sect's talismans. At the same time, I guarantee with the reputation of the Cloud Talisman Sect that the inferior-middle-grade Firebird Spell has 56 firebirds! 108 firebirds, that's the inferior-high-grade Firebird Flame Spell! "
"Nonsense!" Patriarch Acheron couldn't help snorting angrily and scolding, "This kid is talking nonsense. The Firebird Spell has 108 firebirds, but he made the Firebird Flame Spell. I've never f * * king heard of it!"
Ye Kong also laughed. "Fan Jiushe used the Firebird Spell on me that day. It's indeed powerful. I almost died under that talisman. I remember clearly that there are 108 firebirds."
Although Ye Kong knew the truth, he wouldn't be so bored as to look for trouble, so he kept his mouth shut.
Most of the cultivators present were barbarian cultivators. They had bought talismans from Perfected Bald Eagle since they started cultivating. They were used to using fake talismans and thought that the authentic ones were the standard.
Of course, some cultivators knew that Perfected Bald Eagle's talismans were not authentic. However, when they saw that Perfected Bald Eagle's realm was at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment, they chose to shut up.
At most, they wouldn't buy it. There was no need to offend such a powerful cultivator. They wouldn't even know how they died.
Even the noisy northern cultivator felt a chill. He thought that the waiters here were all at the early-stage of Qi Refinement. He didn't expect the boss to be at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment. A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was close to the Core Formation realm. How powerful was he? A Qi Refinement cultivator like him couldn't compete with him at all.
"I also … heard it from someone. Maybe … the Firebird Spell has 56 firebirds," the northern cultivator said hesitantly.
"Hmph, you're talking nonsense. You're ruining my business. If the market square didn't forbid violence, I'd kill you right now!" Perfected Bald Eagle snorted angrily and walked back into the inner room.
Once Perfected Bald Eagle left, the northern cultivator also fled in panic. The Cloudglyph Pavilion returned to its bustling state.
Many barbarian cultivators continued to choose the talismans they needed.
Perhaps only when they faced an opponent who used the authentic Firebird Spell would they know how many firebirds there were in the Firebird Spell.
However, at that time, their chances of survival would be slim as they used inferior talismans.
Of course, none of this was what Ye Kong cared about. The life and death of the barbarian cultivators had nothing to do with him. Besides, even if he stood up, would anyone believe him?
"Give me a dozen blank talismans." Ye Kong walked to the counter and said to the salesperson inside.
"One spirit stone."
He handed over a spirit stone and took the blank talismans. He counted them and found that there were 12 of them. There was no problem with the quantity.
"Thank you." Ye Kong took the talismans and walked out of the Cloudglyph Pavilion's door.
Alright, now that he had the talismans, the Psychic Talisman Brush, and the seeds of the low-grade spiritual herbs, he could officially start making talismans.
"Fellow Daoist Zaji, I'm here to trouble you again." Ye Kong went to the door and found Zaji. He smiled and said, "I want to find a place to rest. I wonder if there's such a place in the market square."
"Of course there is." Zaji was quite polite. He pointed to a corner and said, "Go there. There's a place to rest temporarily."
Ye Kong walked in the direction he pointed and found that it was also an Illusion Array. It could be said that there was an array within an array, and this array's defensive ability was much stronger.
"Two spirit stones a day for a single room. One spirit stone a day for a multi-person room."
Sigh, why is it like Earth, where money is needed everywhere. Ye Kong sighed. He handed over a spirit stone and received a small golden talisman.
He walked to the side of the array and shone the golden talisman against the Illusion Array. Immediately, a circular door opened.
Inside, a manservant led Ye Kong to his room. With a glance, Ye Kong was very satisfied. The so-called multi-person room did not mean that many people lived in one room. Instead, many people lived in a small building. Everyone had their own bedroom, but the living room was shared.
Of course, there was no bed in the cultivator's bedroom. There was only a cushion for people to meditate. In front of the cushion was a short long table that could be used to put things.
