Chapter 26: Ink Master

Chapter 26: Ink Master

Several people walked through the bamboo forest, parted ways in front of Fangshi, and went separately.

In the bamboo forest, an inconspicuous hill gradually dissipated into smoke and dust, and two cultivators appeared. They were all dressed in black, with strange black masks on their faces. They looked at each other and shook their heads regretfully.

"Liu San, I haven't harvested anything for two days. It seems that casual cultivators rarely go out of the market alone, so it's difficult."

"Yeah, the master will be angry again if this goes on."

The first cultivator said harshly, "How about arresting some sect disciples?"

"No, master finally found such a good place, and we must not startle the snake! If you arouse the vigilance of the various sects, you will not be able to accomplish anything if you harm the master, and you and I will die without a place to die."

"well……"

The two sighed, their bodies shook strangely a few times, and they quickly sank into the soil and disappeared.

Zhou Shu naturally couldn't feel the situation behind him, he walked quickly towards Fangshi.

The materials on the body must be disposed of quickly, especially the python marrow. The longer this rare talisman ink material is stored, the more spiritual energy will be lost, and the value will decrease.

If his previous storage bag is still there, it can isolate most of the aura, and the storage time of the python marrow can be much longer, but that thing is no longer there.

Walking to Sanyuan Zhai, before entering the door, a familiar guy has already greeted him, smiling very warmly, "Young master Zhou, you are here again, what do you need to do?"

Zhou Shu nodded, "Help me find an ink master, should your store have one?"

Ink master is a person who specializes in dealing with talisman ink materials and configuring talisman ink. It is the same profession as talisman master, but its status is far inferior. This is because ordinary people can also be ink masters. Of course, most outstanding Ink masters are all cultivators.

The clerk made a gesture of invitation, and laughed repeatedly, "Of course. Mr. Zhou was joking, why is there no ink master in this shop, please come with me."

Walking into Sanyuanzhai, Zhou Shu casually scanned, "Is Manager Hua not here today?"

"The shopkeeper Hua went out to do some business, but he hasn't returned yet. Don't worry, I promise to take care of the young master's orders." The waiter patted his chest, as if he regarded himself as the shopkeeper.

"Then thank you very much."

Under the guidance of the buddy, the two went straight into a side hall.

The side hall was not small, and there were at least five people busy in it. On many tables, there were fresh materials, including spiritual herbs and monster flesh, mixed together, which filled the hall with a strange smell.

The guy walked over quickly and said a few words, and after a while, an old man approached slowly.

The old man looked seventy or eighty years old, with wrinkles on his face, gave Zhou Shu a slight salute, and said calmly, "Guest officer, I don't know what material you want to deal with?"

Although the old man was a mortal, he looked humble and wise, as if he was holding a pearl of wisdom, which actually gave Zhou Shu a sense of unfathomable depth, and he was slightly taken aback.

This kind of feeling can only be felt when meeting his teacher in the previous life, and the previous Liu Yubai had never given it to him. That kind of indescribable wisdom seems to indicate that he has reached perfection in his own field. He looks plain on the outside, but he is full of confidence in his heart. There is nothing he can't solve.

First there was Wu Ming, and then there was this mortal old man. Fangshi is indeed a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.

The clerk thought that Zhou Shu was worried, so he quickly introduced, "Young Master Zhou, Mr. Xu is the most famous ink master among us. Although he is not a cultivator, the talisman ink that he configured would be praised even by a talisman master in the Foundation Establishment Realm." of."

Zhou Shu nodded slightly, and returned a salute, "Master Xu is a wise old man at first glance, so I don't have much to worry about."

For such an old man, no matter whether he is immortal or not, he respects him extremely.

The old man's body froze. Although he was respected in the Sanyuan Zhai, no cultivator guest had ever called him Master Xu. It was a great courtesy to call Master Xu Mo, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.

But he quickly calmed down, and said with a slight smile, "Hehe, Mr. Zhou praised you absurdly, little old Xu Shan, it's not worth mentioning."

Zhou Shu smiled, took out the jade bottle and handed it over, "This is the material that I will deal with next, Master Xu, please have a look."

Xu Shan took the jade bottle with both hands, looked at its color and smelled its smell, then took out a jade spoon, poured out a drop of python marrow, and inspected it carefully.

After a while, he slowly raised his head, "Young Master Zhou is so skillful, he even got the python marrow of the Jinhuan Kui Python."

Although his voice was not loud, the surrounding ink masters were startled and gathered together one after another.

"What, is it really the python marrow of the Jinhuan Kui Python?"

"It's a rare and good talisman ink material. I really want to try it."

"That's a very rare Tier 2 monster. Judging by the cultivation of this guest officer, I don't know how I got it..."

"But the python marrow is very difficult to prepare. It can't even be compared to the thunder fruit. If you are not careful, it will be completely destroyed."

Obviously, python marrow is a very rare material, and it is very difficult to prepare talisman ink. Several ink masters were a little itchy to see it, but they dared not try it.

Zhou Shu smiled lightly, and praised, "Master Xu is really good at it, I admire it."

He took out the materials, but he didn't specify what it was, and it was meant to test the old man's level, because the python marrow of the Jinhuan Kui Python was extremely rare, and it was difficult to identify, but Xu Shan said it easily.

This made him admire Xu Shan even more.

Xu Shan put the python marrow back into the jade bottle, stared at Zhou Shu, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Zhou, the python marrow of Jinhuan Kui Python is very rare and of great value. Do you really feel relieved to let the old man prepare talisman ink?"

Zhou Shu nodded, "I have confidence in Master Xu, just do it."

The Mo masters on the side also chimed in, "Here, if Xu Mo master can't do it, we can't do it."

There are two cultivators here who have even reached the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm.

"good."

Xu Shan said calmly, "Python marrow is rich in three types of spiritual energy, gold, water and soil, and also has strange poisons. There are also several directions for talisman inks that can be prepared. There are more than twenty types in total. May I ask which one Mr. Zhou needs? "

Zhou Shu thought for a while, "Water and soil are fine, if enough, it's better to have the same bottle?"

Mo Shi beside him suddenly frowned, "Guest officer, your requirements are too high."

"That's right, with so little python marrow, and two kinds of talisman inks, it's really a good idea."

"Even if there is only one kind, there is a great chance of failure, how about two?"

Zhou Shu didn't know much about Fu Mo, and when he heard the discussion, he said apologetically, "Master Xu, you don't need to care about my request. If you put the python marrow down, the effectiveness will also be lost, as long as you don't waste the material."

Xu Shan smiled slightly, a faint gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said confidently, "Young Master Zhou's request, I understand, I will get the talisman ink after five days."

Zhou Shu cupped his hands, "I won't bother you then, thank you Master Xu."

The clerk led Zhou Shu out, and immediately there was a burst of noisy discussion behind him, which fell silent after a long time.

Walking to the main hall, the clerk saluted, "Young Master Zhou, according to the rules, we make talisman ink in our store. If the production is successful, our store will charge a certain fee."

"Please tell me." Zhou Shu smiled and nodded. There is no free lunch in the world, and no one will help you work for free.

The guy had a weird smile on his face, "The fee is not Lingshi, it's something else."
