Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

"Dark Talisman is for sale, but the boss's temper is a bit weird. Don't make a counter-offer after you ask the price, otherwise, he will never sell the Talisman to you again."

Beibing wrote on the slate.

"Okay, thanks! I'll leave now. If you need help with anything, you can always come to me."

After Qin Niu chatted with her for a few words, he came out of the store and went straight to the Dark Rune store.

This store gives a very bad impression.

The shop signboard is a piece of granite standing at the door of the shop, with four words of dark runes crookedly engraved on it.

This piece of granite has square holes and long strips on it. At first glance, it looks like the stone door frame that was removed when someone demolished the old house.

Let’s take a look at the decoration outside the store. The walls are mottled and the lower parts are covered with moss.

There is not even the simplest decoration.

There is a long wooden cabinet inside the store, which is a bit like a bookcase, but more like a medicine cabinet for storing traditional Chinese medicine.

Because this long wooden cabinet has rows of drawers.

The floor inside the house is uneven mud.

Customers don't even need to enter the store. They just need to stand outside and take a look, and they will immediately feel that this store is unreliable.

Making talismans is an extremely rigorous matter.

No matter the materials or the process of drawing the symbols, there can be no mistakes in each stroke.

This shop can't even write a sign, but can it draw a talisman?

The first time Qin Niu went to the city to buy talismans, he didn't even enter the store.

Looking at it from a distance, he rejected it directly.

If it hadn't been for Beibing's introduction this time, I wouldn't have known that this shop sold high-level contract talismans.

After entering the door, he saw a middle-aged man about fifty years old standing on an old long desk carving a piece of wood.

This is a large piece of wood as thick as an adult's waist.

The middle-aged man frowned and used the carving knife in his hand to carve on it with great concentration.

When he noticed that a customer was coming in, the middle-aged man did not raise his head to greet the customer, but was concentrating on carving on his own.

"Boss, do you have any high-level contract talismans to buy?"

"Yes! One hundred and twenty taels of silver."

The boss still answered without raising his head.

"Get me five."

Because it was introduced by Bei Bing, although the price was quite expensive, Qin Niu was eager to get it, so he held his nose and accepted it.

The key is to have good quality.

With his current net worth, it is completely acceptable to spend an extra one hundred taels of silver to buy such important cultivation materials.

"Hold on!"

The middle-aged man replied indifferently, still concentrating on carving the wood on the long desk.

Qin Niu subconsciously looked at the man's sculpture.

There are some very smooth lines carved into the wood.

The man carves every line with consistency. It’s just that the lines are deep and shallow, thick and thin.

"What's the use of carving so many lines?"

Qin Niu wondered secretly.

As time passed, the man's sculptures were gradually completed.

"This, is this the wind?"

Qin Niu couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at the completed carving pattern.

The man ignored him, but picked up a piece of cloth and hung it next to the wooden sculpture. There was no reaction from the strip of cloth.

The man couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

"You want five high-level contract talismans, right?"

He made Qin Niu wait for so long and showed no intention of apologizing.

On the contrary, because the carving work did not achieve satisfactory results, he made a face and spoke in a very rude tone.

"Correct."

Qin Niu didn't care about him.

The man opened a drawer on the row of cabinets and took out five wooden boxes.

Each box is engraved with a very strange symbol, a bit like a ghost drawing. But after a few more glances, you will feel that your soul is attracted by an invisible force.

"A total of six hundred taels of silver. You can check it now. It will not be returned or exchanged after leaving the store."

With such an arrogant attitude towards doing business, he actually didn't close the business. This person either relies on his skills to make a living, or because the profits of the talisman are high, selling a high-level contract talisman can last for three years.

"I'll inspect the goods first."

Qin Niu took the wooden boxes and opened one of them.

I saw that the talisman was black, not the most common yellow. The runes painted on it appear dark red.

It looks a little evil.

Those who are timid may not dare to carry it with them.

After Qin Niu read all five boxes, he murmured in his heart.

Will these five high-level talismans work?

Beibing is definitely trustworthy, and the stores she recommends should be pretty much everywhere.

The grocery store recommended by her grandfather last time was very reliable.

"Okay, I want all five."

Qin Niu gritted his teeth and spent six hundred taels of silver to buy all five talismans.

"Besides the high-level contract talismans, do you have any other special talismans here? For example, the invisibility talisman."

After he used an invisibility talisman, he fell deeply in love with the special talisman.

Having one can save lives at critical moments.

"Humph, it was Old Man Bei who introduced you, right? Only Old Man Bei can make the invisibility talisman, and he probably hasn't fully mastered it yet."

The old man Bei mentioned by the middle-aged man should be Bei Bing's grandfather.

"Okay, come back next time if you need anything. Goodbye."

Qin Niu didn't say much, put the talisman away close to his body, and left the dark talisman shop.

"Do you want an Earth Escape Talisman worth one thousand taels of silver?"

The middle-aged man asked towards his back.

"want."

When Qin Niu heard that there was an Earth Escape Talisman to buy, and it only cost one thousand taels of silver each, he agreed without thinking.

He was asked to spend nine taels of silver per acre of fertile land, but he kept waiting.

Now let him buy an Earth Escape Talisman, even if it costs a thousand taels a piece, he will be very happy.

This kind of consumption concept is really not something ordinary people can have.

"Hold on!"

The middle-aged man went into the house and took out a yellow wooden box.

It's only three inches long and two inches wide.

"Here, it's this talisman. When activated, it can give you the ability to escape to the ground for a short time, and you can escape five miles away in an instant. But be careful to avoid stone ground. It can only escape on dirt ground. If it encounters stone ground, It doesn’t work.”

The middle-aged man briefly introduced the functions of the talisman.

"It's already very powerful. Here, here are one thousand taels of silver."

Qin Niu spent a lot of money without batting an eyelid.

What should I do if I get scammed?

Unless this talisman shop doesn't want to open, with his current ability, he can completely close this small shop.

"Don't breathe when you escape, close your eyes and hold your breath."

"Okay, thank you boss for your advice."

Qin Niu had never used the Earth Escape Talisman before. After buying it, he kept it close to his body. Wait until your life is in danger before using it.

This kind of life-saving thing doesn't have to be the best.

Coming out of Xiulianfang City, he saw many shops on the street with low-price signs.

However, the price drop was not large, only less than 20%.

If you wait patiently for a while, store prices may drop to the bottom.

Qin Niu only bought clothes and shoes for the three maids, and then returned home.

The main purpose of entering the city this time is to purchase contract talismans.

There are no particularly high-end goodies to buy in Black Tiger City itself.

However, the black market is an exception.

There are some nice special items there sometimes.

He originally wanted to take a piece of demon feather to explore the black market, but finally decided that the risk was too great and decisively gave up.

……

When he got home, he gave the clothes and shoes to his maid without mentioning them.

The next day, Qin Niu took his wife, concubines, and Xiaoqing to the mountains to practice.

You cannot practice in the mountains only on rainy days.

It rained for two days in a row, so they rested at home for two days.

Qin Niu was looking forward to a day when it would rain heavily.

He could take the opportunity to go to the cave in the mountain and try to get the fire lotus. (End of chapter)
