A seal of immortality

Chapter 563 Auction

Walking on the bustling street, Wang Changsheng had a thoughtful look on his face.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Five Poison Sect to recruit disciples, sneak into the Five Poison Sect, and wait for the opportunity to steal the follow-up exercises.

However, according to what the middle-aged man said, the Five Poisons Sect recruits disciples once every 20 years, and it needs to be recommended by people inside the Five Poisons Sect, and the Five Poisons Sect just recruited a group of disciples half a year ago.

Wang Changsheng was not familiar with the place where he was born, so it was impossible for someone inside the Five Poisons Sect to recommend him to join the sect. What's more, the "Secret Code of the Five Poisons", as the secret teaching of the Five Poisons Sect, must be stored in a heavily guarded place. With his current strength, it would be very difficult for him to steal a classic in a sect's important place.

In this way, there seems to be only one way left—robbing, looking for high-level monks who practice the "Secret Code of Five Poisons", killing people to seize treasures, and maybe getting the follow-up exercises of "Secret Code of Five Poisons" from the other party .

With Wang Changsheng's cultivation at the early stage of alchemy, plus the beast soul talisman refined by the sixth-level fire dragon spirit, Wang Changsheng is capable of fighting even against mid-stage alchemy monks.

Thinking about this, Wang Changsheng went into a bookstore and bought a map of the area around Wuxian Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, he walked into a large shop and bought a large amount of talisman-making materials.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Changsheng left Fangshi, turning into a black light and leaving through the sky.

······
The Qingmiao Mountains are located in the south of Shaoyang Prefecture and are named for the large number of Qingmiao trees.

On the west side of the Qingmiao Mountain Range, there is a Qingmiao Valley. Qingmiao Valley is a square city that provides accommodation and various cultivation resources for cultivators who come and go.

The location of Qingmiao Valley is very unique, thousands of miles to the east is the Five Immortals Mountain Range, thousands of miles to the west is the main altar of the Poison Dragon Sect, and thousands of miles to the north is the main altar of the Poison Sage Sect, the Hundred Poisons Mountain Range .

At the beginning, in order to compete for the ownership of the Qingmiao Mountain Range, the three sects fought fiercely, killing and injuring many disciples. Later, the three parties reached a settlement and jointly established the Qingmiao Valley, and the management rights belonged to the three sects.

Because it is a market jointly established by the three sects, with a strong background, no one dares to cause trouble in Qingmiao Valley, coupled with some measures to encourage foreign cultivators to come here to do business and the special geographical environment of Qingmiao Valley, Qingmiao Valley is booming year by year From time to time, some rare things flowed out of the market, attracting more immortals to trade here.

A month later, a small unremarkable shop in Qingmiao Valley suddenly had a new owner, a young man in white with handsome features.

As soon as the young man in white took over the shop, he immediately changed the name of the shop, from "Chen's Groceries" to "Qianfuxuan".

The store sells all kinds of junior and intermediate talisman seals, most of which are primary talisman seals.

What surprised the shopkeepers of several nearby shops was that the young man in white never interacted with the neighbors around him, and he just kept reading a thick ancient scroll on weekdays.

Occasionally, the young man in white did not show much enthusiasm when a customer came to the door. The shopkeepers around him were not surprised because they had already seen it with the Celestial Eye Technique. The young man in white was a late-stage foundation-building monk. Most of the guests are monks in the Qi refining period. It would be strange if a monk in the late stage of Foundation Establishment greeted a monk in the Qi refining period with a smile on his face!

The young man in white is naturally Wang Changsheng.

The reason why Wang Changsheng came here to open a shop was naturally not to earn a little bit of Lingshi.

Firstly, Qingmiao Valley is not very far from the main altar of the Five Poison Sect. Opening a shop in Qingmiao Valley is convenient for inquiring about the whereabouts of the high-ranking monks of the Five Poison Sect; secondly, it can also take time to learn about formations.

Wang Changsheng had roughly read some ancient books on formations before, but he didn't know much about formations. If he wanted to draw formations, he had to be proficient in the way of formations.

In the past, Wang Changsheng relied on a large number of talismans to win the battle, but after entering the alchemy stage, the junior and intermediate talismans were of little use. The power of an ordinary magic weapon was far greater than the power of hundreds of intermediate talismans.

The only high-level talismans that Wang Changsheng can draw now are shadow-transforming talismans and spirit-transforming talismans. These two high-level talismans are auxiliary types and cannot inflict serious damage on the enemy.

In this way, Wang Changsheng could only target the beast soul talisman and formation talisman.

The beast soul talisman needs the spirit of a monster to be refined, and every time it is used, it will consume the spirit of the monster. If the energy of the spirit is exhausted, this beast soul talisman will be scrapped.

The formation talisman is different, as long as you are proficient in the way of formation and have a good blank talisman paper, you can draw it.

When Wang Changsheng was in the Song Dynasty, when Wang Changsheng left the sect to practice, the talisman saved him many times. He also studied the talisman for a while when he went to Xingchenhai. , now it is time to study it carefully.

It is not possible to draw a formation talisman just by reading a few formation books, you have to try a lot.

The refining principle of the beast soul talisman is basically the same, after refining the spirit of the monster, it is sealed into the talisman paper, but the powerful beast soul talisman has stricter requirements on the talisman paper.

Array symbols are different. Array symbols are another form of expression of arrays. A set of arrays may have only one attribute, or may have multiple attributes.

For example, the wind and fire formation is an attack formation with two attributes. To draw the wind and fire formation into a formation symbol, it is necessary to draw thousands of wind attribute runes and thousands of fire attribute runes. These runes Draw on different talisman papers and sacrifice at the same time, you can set up a set of wind and fire formations, and the falling stone formation is an earth attribute formation, and you need to draw hundreds of earth attribute runes.

Learning how to draw formation symbols requires the purchase of a large amount of materials for making symbols for practice. It is impossible for Wang Changsheng to go to the market every now and then. As a result, he simply bought a shop, and while secretly inquiring about the whereabouts of high-ranking monks, he learned formation techniques way.

In this way, Wang Changsheng stayed in Fangshi for two years.

In the past two years, he has consulted a large number of formation classics, and his understanding of formation has deepened day by day.

During this period, he also inquired a lot about the Five Poisons Sect from other people.

Before the death of the former leader of the Five Poisons Sect, he entrusted the orphan to ask two elder guardians to support Qu Yun, the saint of the Five Poisons Sect. However, one of the guardians planned to become the leader himself after he entered the middle stage of Yuanying, which caused dissatisfaction with the other guardian. , but in order to maintain the overall situation, the two sides did not openly tear their skins apart.

Of course, these things are all based on Wang Changsheng's own conclusions and judgments based on the information he has inquired about.

It is a bit regretful that although Wang Changsheng also met several monks at the alchemy stage of the Five Poison Sect, but they were all traveling together, and all of them were above the middle stage of alchemy, so he naturally couldn't make a move.

In the past two years, "Thousand Fuxuan" has gradually become famous in the market, because "Qianfuxuan" sells a wide variety of talisman seals, and you can buy a few intermediate talisman seals every now and then. Once the news spread, Some low-level monks often go to Qianfuxuan to buy talisman seals.

The shopkeepers of several big shops also sent people to check, but these people couldn't see Wang Changsheng's real cultivation at all, they only thought that Wang Changsheng was an ordinary foundation cultivator, and a big shop even invited Wang Changsheng to make talismans for them, but they were rejected Wang Changsheng refused.

On this day, Wang Changsheng opened for business early as usual.

What is placed on the shelf is not talismans, but a large number of yellow wooden signs. The name of the talisman is written on the wooden sign. Which kind of talisman to buy and how much to buy, tell Wang Changsheng, and Wang Changsheng will take it out of the storage bag. .

From time to time, immortal cultivators come into the store to buy talisman seals.

Wang Changsheng didn't stand up to greet them, but sat behind the counter reading a book and let them choose by themselves.

These immortal cultivators have become accustomed to this and don't care about it.

Not long after, these immortal cultivators selected the talisman seals, reported the name and quantity of the talisman seals to the counter, and Wang Changsheng took them from the storage bag.

After paying off the Lingshi, they walked out with smiles on their faces.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, how are you doing these days!" A bold voice sounded.

Wang Changsheng looked up, and a middle-aged man with a rough face came in.

"Hey, it's Fellow Daoist Huo, didn't you say you were transferred back to the main altar? You're here again so soon?" Wang Changsheng said with a smile on his face.

The middle-aged man was a disciple of the deacon of the Poison Sage Sect, and he was a bold man. It was from this man that Wang Changsheng heard a lot of news about the Five Poison Sect.

"Isn't this the once-in-a-century large-scale auction going to be held? The higher-ups were worried that there would be chaos, so they sent a group of people to patrol the city to ensure that the auction goes smoothly." The middle-aged man said carelessly.

"So, there are quite a few good things in this auction." Wang Changsheng smiled lightly and said casually.

As early as two months ago, news spread that the Green Miao Valley would hold a large-scale auction, but Wang Changsheng didn't have much interest in it.

He just wanted to get the follow-up exercises of "The Secret Code of Five Poisons" as soon as possible, and he was not very interested in other things.
