He even inadvertently acquired a special Second Rank Monster Core. The only thing to mention is that the materials for making Third Rank Talismans are a bit scarce. "However, to draw a Third Rank Talisman, I still lack a Third-Rank Talisman brush." "If I don’t have one, I’ll have to make do with a Second-tier Top Level Talisman brush." Lu Changsheng pondered to himself. The Talisman brush he currently uses is of Second Rank high-grade quality. It is naturally no problem to use it for making Second Rank Talismans. But if I want to make Third Rank Talismans, I must upgrade the Talisman brush. Yet, in Jiuxiao Immortal City, there are no Third-Rank Talisman brushes for sale. So, he planned to collect the bounty from the Heavenly Sword Sect tomorrow to see if there might be a Third-Rank Talisman brush available. Lu Changsheng went to the Hundred Dawn Chamber and spent eight hundred Spirit Stones to buy detailed information about Ling Zixiao from the ’Zi Xiao Formation Pavillion’. Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, at the early stages of Foundation Establishment. Three years ago, she came to Jiuxiao Immortal City alone. Relying on her high-grade Second Rank Formation skills, she earned Spirit Stones by setting up formations for others. But because of her Dragon Roar Physique, she has been constantly seeking various Yin-cold attribute Spiritual Medicines and treasures of heaven and earth. The information also mentioned that it was estimated Ling Zixiao could only live for another half a year. "In just three years, she has made a name for herself in Jiuxiao Immortal City through her knowledge of formations, which is indeed extraordinary." "If it weren’t for the setback of the Dragon Roar Physique, this woman would likely have the potential to reach Core Formation." Lu Changsheng muttered to himself as he read through the information about Ling Zixiao. He gained some understanding of this woman. He knew that such a woman was not the naive and innocent type. If he wanted her to be the mother of his child, it would not be easy. He did not think too much about it and returned home to take out two Technique Jade Slips. Through his Divine Sense, he imprinted the secret technique "Dragon Invocation Technique" into the two Technique Jade Slips. After all, in a trade like this, you definitely couldn’t let someone see the entire secret technique at once. So he split the technique into two parts and imprinted it onto two Jade Slips. "This woman, under the backlash of Yang Qi due to the Dragon Roar Physique, can only rely on Yin-cold Spiritual Medicines to prolong her life. Now that her lifespan is less than a year, her physical condition is probably not very optimistic. Relying solely on the ’Dragon Invocation Technique’ to plunder Yang Qi and the Origin Source of the Spiritual Body is likely not enough to solve the problem." "Moreover, the Dragon Invocation Technique is incredibly domineering and is an Energy Drain Technique, which inflicts considerable harm on the body of a female cultivator..." Lu Changsheng thought of her situation, his eyes narrowing slightly. He took out another Technique Jade Slip and imprinted several secret techniques into it. If she was willing to become the mother of his child, Lu Changsheng was also willing to pay a certain price to help her as much as possible. After all, she was indeed a rare talent worth paying a certain price for. The next morning. Lu Changsheng left Jiuxiao Immortal City. He changed his identity and appearance, reissued an identity plaque, and went to the Enforcement Hall of Jiuxiao Mountain to collect the bounty. Now that the auction had ended, and he had almost finished purchasing the items he needed. There was no need to delay the bounty on these two Robber Cultivators any longer. Upon arriving at the Enforcement Hall, Lu Changsheng declared he had slain the ’Male and Female Demon Duo’ on the wanted list, and immediately a disciple of the Enforcement Hall led him to a side hall. Lu Changsheng took out the coffins from his Storage Bag, opened the coffin lids, revealing the corpses of the two Robber Cultivators. The disciple first took out a white pearl and placed it on the foreheads of the two, quietly sensing. He then released a Demon Beast that sniffed at the two bodies. After confirming their identities, he asked Lu Changsheng to wait and called an Executor from the Enforcement Hall. "Indeed, these are the Male and Female Demon Duo, Fang Qianduan and Huang Qixia." "Fellow Daoist, by slaying these two the bounty totals forty-eight thousand, each point of bounty money can be exchanged for one Spirit Stone, or for equivalent value in Elixir Medicines, Magic Artifacts, secret techniques, or treasures of heaven and earth," the Executor said to Lu Changsheng after inspecting the bodies. "Forty-eight thousand in bounty money," Lu Changsheng responded with a slight nod. He acknowledged that the two were worth forty-eight thousand Spirit Stones. It was not a very high amount. But it was not small either. Moreover, such bounty money could be exchanged for many scarce commodities not available on the market. It was not something that could be measured with a one-to-one Spirit Stone conversion. "Do you have a Third-Rank Talisman brush for exchange?" Lu Changsheng asked aloud. "A Third-Rank Talisman brush?" The shopkeeper hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, was somewhat surprised. Because talisman pens, unlike other magic artifacts, did not possess combat capabilities aside from talisman making. They were needed only by talisman masters. It was also rare for people to exchange for a third-rank talisman pen. "Are you a third-rank talisman master?" The shopkeeper asked, his tone now more polite. Even within the Heavenly Sword Sect, they would treat a third-rank talisman master as an honored guest, offering them a guest elder’s stipend. "Elder is joking, I am merely acquainted with a second-rank talisman master and wish to gift them a third-rank talisman pen," Lu Changsheng said indifferently. "We have third-rank talisman pens." Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper asked no further questions. He immediately took out an album, which displayed several third-rank talisman pens. However, these talisman pens were all quite expensive. The cheapest ones cost fifty thousand in bounties. "Elder, is there any way to make up the remaining bounties besides completing more bounty tasks?" Lu Changsheng inquired. If that was the case, he found it rather troublesome. "If you’re only short two thousand in bounties, you can pay four thousand spirit stones, and I’ll make up the difference for you," the shopkeeper stated. "Two spirit stones for one bounty, that’s fucking extortion!" Lu Changsheng cursed inwardly upon hearing this. But the thought of undertaking tasks for a mere two thousand bounties did not appeal to him. After all, finding criminals wasn’t so easy. "Thank you for your trouble, Elder." Lu Changsheng took out four thousand spirit stones and exchanged them for the cheapest third-rank talisman pen. For him, a third-rank low-quality talisman pen would suffice for a long period. "I didn’t expect that someone would exchange for a talisman pen; it’s quite rare." After Lu Changsheng had left, the shopkeeper shook his head slightly. Most bounty hunters would use their bounties to exchange for rare elixir medicines or some sort of exotic treasure. Few people exchanged for magic artifacts. Let alone talisman pens. But he didn’t pay it much mind. "Finally, everything is ready." "Later, I can try drawing a third-rank spirit talisman." "If I use the third-rank spirit talisman as the main and supplement it with second-rank spirit talismans, the power of the talisman formation could go up another level." Lu Changsheng was not too grieved about parting with his four thousand spirit stones. After all, money is meant to be spent. He left Jiuxiao Immortal City, changed his identity, and arrived at the ’Zi Xiao Formation Shop’ in the Inner City District. "May I ask what the customer would like to purchase?" As soon as he entered, he was greeted. "I have an appointment with Ling fellow daoist; please notify them," Lu Changsheng spoke. He did not conceal his cultivation aura, so upon hearing his request, the shopkeeper was very cordial and invited him to sit and wait to the side, then went upstairs to inform. Find your next adventure on empire Before long, a woman dressed in a light blue skirt, her appearance elegant and calm, with a graceful figure, Ling Zixiao, descended from upstairs. "Fellow Daoist Ling, we had an agreement at yesterday’s auction, hence my visit today," Lu Changsheng said, greeting Ling Zixiao with a clasped hand. "Please, fellow Daoist." Ling Zixiao, recognizing Lu Changsheng’s identity upon hearing him, immediately invited him with a graceful, composed smile to the guest hall on the second floor. Even though she was extremely eager to know about the secret technique Lu Changsheng had mentioned before that could solve her Dragon Roar Physique issue, she still maintained a calm composure like a chrysanthemum, pouring him some spiritual tea. "Fellow Daoist Ling, you can take a look at this secret technique and see if it can solve the issue with your Dragon Roar Physique," Lu Changsheng, after taking a sip of the spiritual tea, took out a jade slip and said.
