Chapter 164: The Secret of the Rune Treasure
"Elder Ding, can you please take a look at this thing for a long time? Although the younger generation thinks that it seems to be a thousand-year-old elixir, he is not very sure in his heart, and he still hopes that Elder Ding will sign the year. Shopkeeper Tian said in a humble tone, and then handed over the brocade box.
"Millennial Spirit Grass?" Ding Lao was a little incredulous when he heard this, but he still took the brocade box.
"Please take a closer look! Is it really a thousand-year-old Huang Jingzhi?" said the shopkeeper Tian with a strong suppression of excitement in his heart.
The old man didn't say anything, but narrowed his eyes, looked at the shape, color and even texture of the things in the box with great interest, and put the box under his nose from time to time, sniffing it a few times.
This herb was spawned by Han Li single-handedly, so whether it was a thousand-year elixir or not, he naturally knew it in his heart, so he always sat on the side with a calm expression, turning a blind eye to the old man's actions. All he was thinking about was how to bargain with Wanbaolou.
Shopkeeper Tian was the opposite of Han Li, he watched the old man's every move without blinking, the demeanor of not being surprised when he met Han Li was completely gone, and his face was full of anticipation, anxiety and other complicated expressions of gain and loss.
Finally, Ding Lao gently put the box on the table, then twisted his beard and closed his eyes and pondered for a while, before opening his eyes and saying calmly in a very affirmative tone:
Congratulations to the shopkeeper, this is indeed more than a thousand years of Huang Jingzhi, and it is also the best millennium grass that has just been unearthed not long ago and has not been damaged in the slightest.
Shopkeeper Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, and then sent this old gong down the stairs, and then picked up the box containing the spirit grass with joy, and looked at it several times.
"Shopkeeper Tian, isn't it time for you and me to talk about the transaction!" Han Li saw that Fang seemed to have forgotten that the master of the Spirit Grass was still sitting on the side, and couldn't help but give a reminder.
"Oh...... Yes!...... I'm really confused, I hope Brother Li will forgive me!" After Shopkeeper Tian was slightly stunned, he remembered that this spiritual grass did not belong to Wanbaolou, and his face couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Hehe, it's nothing!, but how do you plan to trade, seeing that Shopkeeper Tian loves this thing so much, he must not disappoint Zaixia!" Han Li said with a chuckle, squeezing the other party slightly.
At this time, the shopkeeper Tian's expression returned to normal, and put the things in his hand back on the table, before saying:
"Since Brother Li can take out the thousand-year-old spirit grass, he must not be an ordinary immortal cultivator. Then I don't have to do the trick of deceiving my brother, just give your excellency a fair price!"
When he said this, he thought about it for a while, and then continued in a very sincere tone: "This spirit grass can be exchanged for any two brocade box treasures that I showed Brother Li, or it can be exchanged for the contents of the last brocade box alone. If you still can't look at it, then this building can also sell you absolutely satisfied spirit stones. Buy the spirit grass. Brother Li, what do you think?"
Han Li felt the sincerity in the other party's words, and after tossing and turning in his heart a few times, he also felt that the price was quite reasonable, and he didn't exceed his own bottom limit, so he secretly had the intention of agreeing seven or eight points. But before that, he still has to see what the bottom of the final brocade box is?
Before Han Li could speak, the shopkeeper of Ketian had already lifted the lid of the last brocade box and pushed it in front of Han Li, and said with a smile: "What is in this box is the treasure of this building. However, it depends on whether my brother knows the goods or not!"
Han Li's curiosity was aroused, and he looked into the box, and he was immediately stunned, there was a lone talisman in the brocade box, and there was also a pattern of a long golden brick painted on it, which was shining golden and lifelike.
After seeing this object clearly, Han Li's mind kept spinning, and he immediately thought of his own talisman with a small gray sword painted on it, could it be the same thing?
"Fu Bao?" Han Li let out a deep breath and asked uncertainly.
Shopkeeper Tian was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:
"I really didn't expect that Brother Li would be able to recognize this thing! It stands to reason that few immortal cultivators should know about this treasure. Brother Tai is really well-informed, I admire it!"
After hearing this, Han Li smiled bitterly a few times, then shook his head and sighed:
"Your Excellency thinks too highly of Li, and this talisman treasure is only famous in the next place, and you really know very little about it. However, since Shopkeeper Tian can take out this thing, he must know a thing or two about Fu Bao, and I hope to teach him!"
What Han Li said was all sincere, he really wanted to take the opportunity to thoroughly understand the ins and outs of the "Fu Bao", and he was confused all the time.
Shopkeeper Tian looked at Han Li with some surprise, feeling that this was not something that needed to be kept secret, it was just that fewer people knew about it, and it was not worth offending the big customer in front of him for this, so he agreed very happily and told everything about the "Fu Bao" one by one.
The "Fu Bao" thing really has a great origin, and it is actually a strange item that can only be made by monks above the Dan period.
It is a high-level monk who refines the magic weapon, and seals part of the power of the magic weapon into a special talisman paper, so that other immortal cultivators can also temporarily use the power of the magic weapon, so that it has the dual characteristics of both the magic weapon and the magic weapon, and is jokingly called the "pseudo-magic weapon" by the immortal cultivators who know its existence, and is highly sought after by them.
This kind of "pseudo-magic weapon" is very special, and it requires monks above the knot stage to make it, but it can be used by immortal cultivators of any class. Even an immortal cultivator with a three- or fourth-layer exercise like the Golden Light Master that Han Li had killed could use it in a similar way.
It's just that immortal cultivators before the foundation building period don't know how to condense the art, and the use of rune treasures can only exert one-tenth of the power of rune treasures, which seems to be not much higher than the top magic weapons.
And after building the foundation, the immortal cultivators can use the mental condensation method, and can give full play to the power of the "rune treasure", although the power cannot be as earth-shattering as the real magic weapon, tsunami and landslide, but it is enough to despise all other magic weapons and the like. Therefore, after the foundation building period, everyone wants to have a "rune treasure", which will give them the upper hand in the battle and be proud of others.
Although the power of the "rune treasure" is amazing, it will constantly consume the power of the magic weapon stored in it when it is used, and if the power is exhausted, the rune treasure will be completely invalid. Therefore, how to control the use of magic weapons is also a problem that should not be taken lightly.
In addition, the production of "rune treasure" is not a simple matter.
Because the magic weapon was originally something that could only be refined by monks in the Dan period, not only was the quantity scarce, but it was always tempered day and night in the monk's true yuan to increase its power, and it was easy not to take it out to show people, let alone what "rune treasure" to make with it.
You must know that the production of "rune treasure" is equivalent to the self-damage behavior of dividing part of the magic weapon power, and every time a "rune treasure" is made, the owner of the magic weapon has to re-temper it for a long time before refining the power again, which is a typical behavior of benefiting others and harming oneself. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no monk above the end of the Dan period would do such a stupid thing.
But as the saying goes, things are impermanent. The seemingly stupid act of refining the "rune treasure" would be done by most high-level cultivators frantically before the deadline came. In order to leave a lot of help for future generations or younger generations.
You must know that the magic weapon left by the predecessors, after a long time of condensation and then inherited by others, the new owner will not be able to achieve complete unity with the magic weapon, and the power of the original magic weapon will lose most of it, which also requires this person to also reach the Dan period. Otherwise, you can only stare at the magic weapon dryly, and you can't use it in the slightest. In this way, it is more suitable for their juniors to refine the "rune treasure" than to leave the magic weapon intact.
However, there are also many restrictions on refining "rune treasures".
First of all, the power of the magic weapon that can be sealed by each "rune treasure" can only be one-tenth of the magic weapon power at most, and it can only be reduced but not increased. Therefore, even if the "rune treasure" is sealed according to the same magic weapon, its power is uneven and varied.
Secondly, refining the rune treasure will not only reduce the power of the magic weapon, but also make the owner of the magic weapon lose a lot of vitality, so it is impossible to continue refining the "rune treasure". Every time the talisman treasure is refined, the owner of the magic weapon has to rest for three years and five years to recover his vitality, and this is still under the condition that he does not waste the true yuan and does not plan to re-refine the magic weapon, otherwise the time will be even longer.
Therefore, such a scene often occurs in the immortal cultivation world.
Before the deadline comes, after the high-level monks have passed the preparation before the sitting, the most valuable thing left behind after their death is often a magic weapon with greatly reduced power, and several "rune treasures" sealed with the same power, which cannot but be said to be a very helpless thing!
