Three Hundred and Twentieth Chapters Return to Old Business
Shi Mu came to the house outside the cave, looked around, and landed on a black stone house on the edge of the house.
As soon as he stimulated the true energy in his body, he punched out in the void, and a fist shadow surrounded by red flames condensed out of thin air, carrying a wave of scorching heat, and bombarded a stone house not far away.
"Boom"!
Rocks splashed, and a hole several feet in size was pierced on one wall of the house, and the other wall opposite to it was also pierced through.
Shi Mu was overjoyed in his heart. After his cultivation level advanced to the late Xiantian stage, his strength had also improved by leaps and bounds. He casually urged his true qi to leave his body with a punch, and he pierced through two sides that seemed as hard as iron. It is enough to have the power of a stone wall as thick as a foot.
He raised his brows suddenly, closed his eyes and sensed.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, waved his sleeves, and chanted a mantra.
The next moment, a red light flashed in front of him, and six fireballs the size of washbasins emerged from his body, bombarding towards the stone house like meteors.
There was a loud bang, and the flames blazed!
There was a violent vibration from the stone house, and a large piece of rubble wrapped in flames flew out in all directions. The stone house was riddled with holes, and it collapsed after holding on for a few breaths.
Seeing this situation, Shi Mu showed satisfaction.
His mana cultivation has not improved, but the power of the fireball technique is much greater than before. The reason is that with the Red Monkey Fire Sutra entering the ninth floor, his sensitivity to fire elements has increased again Quite a few, now it's almost six degrees, which has surpassed his elemental sensitivity to the power of space.
At this moment, as long as he closes his eyes, he can clearly feel the fire element contained in the air, and he can freely mobilize these elements to launch true energy or mana attacks.
Speaking of which, most of the credit for being able to advance so successfully should be attributed to this Huoyuan Peach King, no wonder it would attract all the strong people at the ground level to fight for their heads and blood.
"Shitou, after your breakthrough, your strength seems to have improved a lot!" At this moment, Cai'er flew over from a distance.
During Shi Mu's retreat, Cai'er was idle and bored, so she volunteered to go out, saying that she wanted to watch out for Shi Mu.
"How is the situation outside the city?" Shi Mu asked.
"It's said that Ao Kui hasn't shown up for a while, but those monsters are still lingering around." Cai'er said.
Shi Mu nodded, turned around and walked towards the underground cave, Cai'er followed.
After a while, Shi Mu was in the fire formation, looked around, and couldn't help but smile wryly.
During the period of my retreat, the fire stones in the formation have been replaced several times, and at this time, most of the last batch has been consumed, and the light has dimmed a lot.
If you want to stay in this kind of city for a period of time, continue to use this formation to cultivate and consolidate your realm, you must buy some fire spirit stones.
As a result, earning spirit stones has become a top priority right now.
Shi Mu checked the items in the Dust Ring. Currently, apart from some previously confiscated magic weapons and spiritual weapons, there are also some spiritual herbs and ore materials that can be exchanged for spiritual stones.
Among these things, apart from those few spiritual artifacts, I'm afraid the others won't sell for much.
And those few spiritual weapons are things that can increase strength, and he is not willing to sell them casually now.
At this moment, Shi Mu's eyes flashed and landed on a large pile of animal skins in the corner of the inner space of the Dust Miao Ring.
It seems that now, we can only continue to do what we have done.
It is not difficult for him to draw some talismans, but this place is no better than Dongzhou Continent, so he decided to go to the city to inquire first and see the situation here.
With this in mind, he stood up and walked outside.
"Shitou, are you going out again?" Cai'er asked.
"Well, I have something to do."
As Shi Mu said, he quickly left his residence, came to the shops and streets in the city, and began to go in and out of each shop.
It wasn't until evening that he walked out of the street and walked towards his residence in the north of the city.
In the dust ring, there are already a lot of animal skin talisman papers, and some materials for drawing middle and high-level talismans.
Through walking around in these shops and talking with people intentionally or unintentionally, he has gained some understanding of the Talismans and Talismans of Xihe Continent.
The wars between the monsters and barbarians in the Xihe Continent are relatively frequent, and the talismans are quick to take effect against the enemy and often have the effect of saving lives. Therefore, the demand for talismans by the barbarians is still not small.
As expected, compared to the strong demand, barbarian talisman masters are very scarce. There are so few barbarians with this talent, which once made the price of talismans very expensive.
However, this situation has changed after the emergence of Mingyue Western Sect. Since Mingyue Western Sect is mainly warlocks and soul masters, there are far more people who are good at making talismans than barbarians. Today, more than half of the talisman business in the world is in the hands of the Mingyue Sect, which also makes the supply and price of talismans in Xihe mainland under certain control.
But even so, the low- and mid-level talismans on the market are mainly low- and middle-level talismans, and the price is almost ten times that of Dongzhou Continent. scrambling to buy.
Shi Mu thought about this, with a hint of excitement on his face.
The situation outside the city is complicated now, and it has been a long time. Naturally, there will be many people who can't wait to leave the city. The demand for talisman will naturally only increase. Many days of surplus fire will be spent in the next few days.
Shi Mu walked through a street intersection, and a large group of people surrounded him, talking a lot.
With a flash of his eyes, this is the place where the City Lord's Mansion made an announcement. With so many people around, something must have happened.
He pondered for a moment, walked over, and blended into the crowd.
A new notice was posted on the notice board, and Shi Mu's face changed slightly.
The content of the notice is to offer a reward to those who hunt and kill the Chihuan Python.
"Stone..." Cai'er glanced at Shi Mu worriedly, Shi Mu looked calm, as if he didn't see what was in front of him.
Shi Mu mixed in the crowd, listening to the discussions of the people around him.
It turns out that Marsh Viper Jiaoshuai's siege of the city for more than a month has greatly affected the operation of various things in the city. The Youcan City Lord finally couldn't sit still and decided to catch the culprit in order to calm the matter as soon as possible.
Shi Mu looked at it for a while, then quickly turned around and walked out of the crowd, walking towards the direction of the residence.
...
Five days later, in a room in the residence.
Shi Mu looked wearily at the pile of talismans on the table, with a hint of excitement on his face.
In the past few days, he has been drawing intermediate-level talismans day and night, and the result of five days of hard work is these forty or so intermediate-level talismans in front of him.
Although they are all middle-level talismans such as Jin Gang Talisman, Fire Spear Talisman, and Luo Teng Talisman, which seem to be common in Dongzhou Continent, in Xihe Continent, they are several times more effective than those totem talismans.
Shi Mu put away all the talismans and walked out again.
Half a day later, he returned to the cave, and those talismans were sold out.
Excluding the cost of drawing materials, he earned almost three or four thousand spirit stones. Although it is not much, after a month, he can earn 20,000 spirit stones.
He didn't sell these talismans to Tianwu Baoxuan, that chamber of commerce was too powerful, Shi Mu subconsciously didn't want to provoke them, and he didn't want the other party to know too many secrets about him.
He sold all the talismans to the shop where he had inquired about Ling Tianfeng.
The thick-browed shopkeeper was named Ailamu, and he had a pretty good impression at the time.
He has reached a consensus with the other party that he will sell the talisman made here in the future, but the other party must keep it secret for Shi Mu, and he needs to collect fire-attributed spirit stones and various talisman materials on behalf of Shi Mu.
Collecting materials is just a trivial matter, and he is even more eager to hide things. If other shops know that Shi Mu is a talisman master, such opportunities to earn spirit stones will not be reserved for his shop.
...
a month later.
In the stone room, Shi Mu stood in front of the stone table, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.
Afterwards, he took a piece of exquisite animal skin talisman paper from the side and placed it in front of him.
This time, the talisman papers were all high-grade animal skin talisman papers that he bought at a huge price, and they were intended to refine high-grade talismans.
After several consecutive refining attempts, he now has a lot of confidence in asking himself about high-level talismans, so he can give it a try.
While thinking about it, the magic brush lit up and landed on the talisman paper.
...
Five days passed, Shi Mu's face was exhausted, and a lot of stubble had grown on his face, but his expression was quite excited.
There were more than ten talismans placed on the table, all of them were high-level talismans.
Eight cyan Wind and Shadow Talismans, and three khaki Earth Escape Talismans.
Because he had tried the Wind Shadow Talisman before, this time he had a high success rate under the blessing of the spiritual purpose, and he drew a total of eight pieces.
The earth escape talisman is also one of the five-element talismans recorded in the "Qiantian Talisman Classic". It is composed of thirty-five runes, and the runes are intertwined. If there is no spiritual eye, I am afraid that none of them will succeed.
Even so, Shi Mu only drew three after destroying more than a dozen animal skins.
Shi Mu kept two Wind Shadow Talismans and one Earth Escape Talisman, and then handed over the rest to Ailamu.
When Ailamu received the eight high-level talismans, he looked at Shi Mu as if he was looking at a monster.
It didn't take long for the news that there were high-level talismans in Ailamu's store, and it spread all of a sudden. This matter naturally attracted the attention of some strong people in the city.
However, Ailamu is also a shrewd person, and he kept his mouth shut about Shi Mu's whereabouts, not even revealing the slightest bit.
After three months of this, the spirit stones obtained by Shi Mu's painting talismans have reached a small scale, reaching 60,000 to 70,000 again, and most of them are fire-type spirit stones, which are enough to maintain the fire formation for half a year.
Shi Mu notified Ailamu, and then he will suspend drawing talismans and concentrate on cultivation.
Although Ailamu was somewhat reluctant, he didn't dare to offend Shi Mu, the benefactor. (To be continued.)
