Chapter 1723 Borrowing Money (I)
This old man's vision is really very broad. Chen Xuan glanced at the words of the old man in white robe, and continued to choose to listen to the afternoon. Because this old man in white robe has brought too much shock to Chen Xuan now, and this shock happened to be not in the book.
Chen Xuan also followed the old man in white robe and sat down in front of the tree opposite the old man in white robe, intending to listen quietly to the world in the mouth of the old man in white robe. Seeing Chen Xuan's behavior, the old man in white robe praised this boy in his heart.
"Then I will come to you. Chen Xuan, do you know what a real talisman maker is?" The old man in white robe had a strong sense of pride in his eyes. Chen Xuan seemed to know that this old man was so proud that he was probably a talisman maker.
Because this old man looked like this, he should also be an amazing talisman maker. In fact, Chen Xuan was still very happy in his heart, because if this old man was a high-gambling talisman maker, then the probability of becoming a talisman maker in the future was basically certain.
Sure enough, the old man's next words made Chen Xuan's heart almost happy. The old man in white robe took a look at Chen Xuan's expression, then smiled and said calmly.
"You should know that I was the most powerful talisman maker in this world a thousand years ago. But what makes me very regretful is that the talisman making in this world is getting worse and worse."
"The level of talisman makers is getting worse and worse. It seems that a great sage is really needed to make some changes."
When the old man in white robe came here, he looked at Chen Xuan with a smile on his face. Chen Xuan certainly understood what the old man in white robe meant. But Chen Xuan was even more excited, but his face was still normal.
Because Chen Xuan had seen it in the book a long time ago, the current talisman makers are indeed difficult to compare with the previous ones. Including many formulas and many talisman making methods left by the previous talisman makers, they have also perished in the torrent of time.
In fact, making talismans is not an easy thing. The requirements for talisman makers and fire are extremely high. In addition, the requirements for paper for making talismans are also very high.
The formula of each piece of paper used by the talisman maker is very precious, and even each material on these precious formulas seems to have reached a high price.
And Chen Xuan knows that these precious materials are just a drop in the bucket compared to the formulas. Sure enough, the talisman maker is something that only rich people can play.
At this time, the old man in white robe seemed to have completely seen through Chen Xuan's thoughts, and then he smiled mysteriously at Chen Xuan and continued.
"For thousands of years, the formulas are all in my mind, and the refining methods are also in my mind. Fire, I have a unique fire of returning to the soul, which can only be used when I am a spirit body. That is to say, this fire can only be used by spirit bodies, and it is not on the fire ranking list."
"But I have no money, to be precise, I have no materials!"
"Remember that Chen Xuan, you have not reached the first-level Taoist master yet? I don't have the materials for the gathering talisman!" The old man in white robe smiled and said to Chen Xuan. This expression is as annoying as it can be.
Chen Xuan looked up at the blue sky and pretended not to hear it. The breeze beside his ear kept reminding the two of them to be silent, but one looked up coldly. The other was serious and had an unfathomable smile, which really turned the picture into a funny and beautiful picture.
"Okay! I'll help you, old man, find a way!" Chen Xuan's tone was very helpless, just like a hero who lost a battle with a cock. And his words were not as respectful as when they first met.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Chen Xuan, it's really that the expression of the old man in white robe is too much to ask for a beating.
"Boy, you are so rude? Do you know that I am thousands of years older than you? Your grandma's leg, you are so presumptuous in front of me, you are simply..."
Before the old man in white robe finished his ruffian scolding, Chen Xuan coldly spit out a word to shut up the old man in white robe...
"Your body..." After Chen Xuan finished this sentence, he looked at the old man in white robe with a look of watching a good show. The old man in white robe just had a glaring expression.
Suddenly he stopped and turned into that mysterious look again. It was as if the furious and childish old man that Chen Xuan had just seen had never existed.
"Okay, okay... I won't argue with you. I'm going back to sleep! Remember your materials. If you don't get them, you can continue to soak in your Daoist Perfection! Then we'll see if you dare to be stubborn!"
When the old man in white robe said the last sentence, he resumed his glaring expression, but Chen Xuan seemed to have a smug smile in his eyes, and then he continued to talk to the old man in white robe.
"Then your body..." After finishing, he still kept winking at the old man in white robe. The old man in white robe was speechless and helpless. He simply ignored Chen Xuan and disappeared directly into the void.
At this time, the blue mist in the air above the Chen Mansion's courtyard disappeared, and was replaced by a weak and pale mist. Soon, even the pale mist disappeared in the breeze.
At this time, Chen Xuan found that the sky was completely dark, with only a few lonely stars hanging in the sky. Chen Xuan leaned against the tree, as if he had not stood up for a long time.
The leaves fell to the ground and were blown up by the breeze. Chen Xuan looked at the tree opposite him, as if the white-haired old man was just dreaming, because the tree opposite him seemed to have no leaves fallen.
It was exactly the same as what Chen Xuan had seen before, with no trace of human or spirit existence. Chen Xuan raised his eyes and the cloud mark just now seemed to still be hanging on it.
That cloud mark separated it into two halves, but this cloud mark was obviously not as deep as before. Chen Xuan knew that it seemed that what had just happened was not a dream, and he was indeed very short of money now.
Chen Xuan did not say much, but began to think under this tree. Since he wanted to become stronger and wanted to impact the first-level Taoist master. Then the force-gathering talisman must be inevitable, and the current market price of the force-gathering talisman outside is very high.
This price is very scary, it seems that I still need to find this white-haired old man to make it. But what is the formula of this force-gathering talisman, the old man in white robe has not told me yet.
Is it possible to make the formula myself? Impossible, let alone the formula, it would be a miracle if I could get all the materials for this old man. Unexpectedly, the angry voice of the old man in white robe came out of Chen Xuan's mind again, as if he was deeply disturbed by someone in his sleep. The old man in white robe didn't say much, but just roared furiously.
"Chen Xuan, you bastard, you actually want me to help you refine the power-gathering talisman. Old man! I must owe you. Do you know how much I made a talisman a thousand years ago?"
"No... that's not right! Do you know what the price was for me to refine the talisman a thousand years ago? How priceless it was? Not only do you want me to help you refine the talisman now, you even want me to help you refine the talisman of the gift level"
"It's just like insulting me, you..."
"Do you still want your body?"
Chen Xuan heard that the old man in white robe was getting more and more arrogant, and before the old man in white robe could say something more arrogant, he quickly blocked the old man's mouth with this tried-and-tested sentence!
Then he added...
"By the way, old man, do you have the formula for the power-gathering talisman?"
Chen Xuan's tone softened immediately after he finished this sentence. After all, he was asking someone to do something, so of course his tone couldn't be too arrogant. The old man in white robe was almost angry when he heard this.
What do you mean by "have or not"? What kind of existence is he? How could he not know the formula of a low-cost talisman like the Gathering Force Talisman? It was not that the old man in white robe was bragging, but the preparation of the Gathering Force Talisman, the old man in white robe could make it with his eyes closed at that time.
And now he was actually suspected by this kid who didn't know anything about it. This really made the old man in white robe sigh that thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.
"Son, listen to me, twenty blue grass, twenty worry-relieving flowers, five forgetful plums! Come to me again after you have collected them! I'm going to sleep, hum!"
Then the old man in white robe appeared in Chen Xuan's mind, shook his long sleeves, and walked away angrily. Next, it was Chen Xuan's turn to swear.
Damn, these twenty plants are not particularly precious, so precious that they can't be seen. But they are not the waste that everyone has flooded, right? The price of this blue ghost grass and worry-relieving flower is also very high, thousands of star coins are needed. Twenty plants each, wouldn't that be tens of thousands of gold coins? It's really scary.
But what about the Wangchuan plum?
This is even more terrible. There is not even a Wangchuan plum in this Wulan City. And where is the Wangchuan plum? In the Secret Forest, that place is very scary. Moreover, the Wangchuan plum is nothing to those big families and big sects who practice. According to legend, they can even cultivate Wangchuan plum themselves.
But their technical knowledge is not open to people in their own families or sects! Chen Xuan, like this, may only go to the Secret Forest in person. According to legend, the Wangchuan plum blooms on the banks of the Wangchuan River in the Secret Forest, and the water in this place on the banks of the Wangchuan River has a special substance. But those big families may also have those powerful talisman makers who directly refine this material.
But Chen Xuan does not have such conditions, he can only go to the Mysterious Forest in person. And the Secret Forest is just in the subordinate territory of Wulan City, which is a place that no one cares about and can't manage.
