Chapter 234: The Master of Talismans Without Writing

"Talisman?" The deacon was slightly stunned, obviously a little surprised.

Ye Yunqi added: "Yes, the talisman technique, the talisman pen, talisman paper and talisman ink must all be of the best quality."

Now that Ye Yunqi has mastered the fourth-grade talisman technique, the knowledge of distinguishing the quality of materials has naturally been instilled, so he doesn't have to worry about being fooled.

The deacon smiled and said, "How dare I fool you? I will definitely give you the best. Follow me."

Then he led Ye Yun to a counter, where many disciples were busy trading.

Some disciples who were assigned tasks worked as waiters here, selling talisman paper.

More and more disciples from the sects are constantly selecting talisman papers. The most popular ones now are the talisman papers used on the battlefield.

Such as the defensive talisman paper like the Golden Bell Talisman that Ye Yunqi had just practiced, or some offensive talisman papers such as fireball and wind blade techniques.

The reason is naturally self-explanatory.

Ye Yunqi was, after all, a deacon and a third-rank craftsman, so naturally he had some small privileges.

Without even having to speak, the butler said, "Amon, come here, come here."

"Deacon Chen, are you looking for me?" The waiter called Amon hurriedly put down his work and walked over.

Deacon Chen nodded and said, "Well, this is Deacon Ye, a third-grade craftsman! You know about the magic water, right? The magic water that you bought some low-level magic water for women last time was made by Master Ye."

Amon's eyes lit up and he said with a wry smile, "Deacon Chen, please stop joking about this. Later, they looked down on me and didn't want my things, so I used them myself."

"No wonder you look a bit more handsome recently..." Deacon Chen said with a smile, "I thought it was..." Deacon Chen wanted to say that he was just feeling elated because good things were about to happen, but when he thought about the fact that the other party was rejected, he stopped talking.

Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Master Ye is here to pick out some magic supplies. Can you recommend a few for him?"

Then he explained to Ye Yunqi: "Master Ye, this guy is also a half-baked talisman master. He is an apprentice to the sect's talisman master. He is more familiar with these things, so let him recommend a few to you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunqi also felt a bit favorable. This was a kind of mutual admiration between skilled craftsmen. To be chosen by the talisman master as an apprentice, he must have some talent.

He is still just a novice now, but who knows, he may become my colleague and a first-class talisman master in a while.

"Thank you, Amon." Ye Yunqi said politely.

“I dare not.” Amon was so nervous that he could see the cold sweat on his forehead. “Then I will dare to recommend one or two to Master Ye.”

Then his eyes wandered over the counter, and he quickly selected the target and introduced it to Ye Yunqi: "Although this foxtail pen is rated as a first-grade mid-grade, it is actually infinitely close to a first-grade top-grade. It may even be upgraded if it is nourished by spiritual energy in subsequent use. However, it is only priced at a first-grade mid-grade now, which can be said to be good value for money. For a novice talisman master, it is a rare fine product that can be used until he advances to a second-grade talisman master."

"As for talisman paper, beginners can use this green bamboo paper. It is of mediocre quality, nothing outstanding but it won't go wrong either. It is mainly produced in the territory of Sanqing Sect and the price is extremely low."

"This is the Fu Mo that I'll use..."

When it came to things related to talismans, Amon seemed to get excited and he introduced the things in front of him incessantly, with a bit of fondness in his eyes from time to time.

Ye Yunqi was already a fourth-rank talisman master, so he naturally had an excellent vision. He glanced at what Amon introduced, and the conclusion he came to was almost the same as what Amon said.

Thinking about it carefully, Amon himself was also a half-baked talisman master who had just started. Naturally, he was most concerned about these beginner's things.

Especially the fox-tail pen. When Ye Yunqi looked at Amon, it was as if he was seeing his beloved woman. However, the price was beyond the ability of a half-baked talisman master like him to afford. He could only watch from afar and could not take it in.

Now, having reluctantly introduced him to Ye Yunqi, he actually felt somewhat proud of it?
Ye Yunqi was a little confused, but respectful.

However, these are extremely useful things for novices, but they are far from enough for him, a fourth-grade talisman master.

So Ye Yunqi quickly interrupted Amon when he was introducing Fu Mo: "Amon is right, but I didn't come here to pick up these beginner's items."

"To be honest, I am actually a talisman master. I am not a beginner, but a very powerful one."

Ye Yunqi said this with a solemn vow.

Amon stopped talking and looked at Ye Yunqi with some suspicion.

Deacon Chen who was accompanying him was also surprised again, then he patted his head and apologized, "It's my fault for not asking carefully. I didn't expect Master Ye to be a talisman master as well, hahahaha..."

Deacon Chen laughed awkwardly. Who could have thought that a technician who was leaning towards alchemy would suddenly say that he was a talisman master?
Moreover, how could a talisman master not have talisman pens, talisman paper, and talisman ink and need to purchase them all?
But, after all, the other party was a third-grade craftsman, and there were differences in status among the deacons. Deacon Chen did not express any doubts, but instead blamed himself.

Amon asked, "Master Ye, I wonder what level of talisman pen, talisman paper and talisman ink you want to buy? Let me take a look for you."

Ye Yunqi pondered for a moment and said, "The higher the grade, the better. However, my contribution points are limited. Let me see. The total of these three items should not exceed 30,000 contribution points."

Ye Yunqi's contribution points are now extremely abundant. As the fame of the magic water grows, the sect is constantly making purchase requests to Ye Yunqi.

It is useful for personal use or for foreign trade.

I heard that there was a master in the sect who had established his foundation and realized the meaning of Tao after using the third-level magical water.

Although it is a pity that the person has already successfully established his foundation, his understanding of the Tao now cannot be transformed into building the Tao foundation.

But it has been proven that the magic water can enhance the understanding of the great Dao.

It plays a certain role in promoting the birth of Taoism and laying the foundation.

In this case, if the Sanqing Sect was not a righteous sect that wanted to maintain some face, if it were the evil sect, Ye Yunqi would have been locked up in a small dark room and used as a ruthless magic water maker.

Deacon Chen was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but shake his head slightly in his heart.

Craftsman, are you so rich?

As a deacon, the most contribution points he used was when he broke through the foundation building stage, using thousands of foundation building pills.

I have never had over ten thousand contribution points.

I sighed slightly in my heart.

Amon had lost all idea of Ye Yunqi's wealth, and just smiled awkwardly: "Master Ye, at this price, one can get the stuff of a fourth-grade talisman master. I, Amon, really don't understand this."

Amon is just a half-baked talisman master of low quality. He is the best at entry-level stuff, but he has only heard of second-grade stuff and has only done so a little bit. At this price, he really can't recommend anything.

"Fourth-grade Talisman Master?" Deacon Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then said, "Master Ye, how about taking a look at the second- and third-grade ones? I really don't have anything from a fourth-grade Talisman Master here."

"No?" Ye Yunqi frowned slightly. Sanqing Sect was a Nascent Soul Sect after all, so how could it not have something of the fourth grade?
Deacon Chen and Amon looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

Finally, it was Deacon Chen who spoke up: "Master Ye, you don't know that the Sanqing Sect has fourth-grade items, but I don't have any here. I just provide a convenient exchange point for the sect's disciples, and at most I can entertain some Jindan elders. Even so, I don't actually have any third-grade items here. The Jindan elders first send me a message, and then I apply to the sect for transfer. If Master Ye needs third-grade items, I can still find it for Master Ye. If it's fourth-grade, then, I can't do anything about it. Master Ye has to go to the sect to apply for it himself." Ye Yunqi knew it very well. At most, he could only try the third-grade talisman technique. But after all, he was a fourth-grade talisman master. He couldn't use it, but he couldn't be without it!

If the sect doesn’t have fourth-grade items, or if I can’t afford it, then so be it.

Now, my contribution points are enough for this fourth-grade item.

Then why don't I buy the things used by a fourth-grade talisman master?
When my cultivation level is higher, or the things I have are more suitable for, I can try the less demanding things in the fourth-grade talisman paper.

Thinking about it now, Ye Yunqi immediately threw the third-grade stuff out of his mind and said, "Then how can I ask the sect for fourth-grade supplies? I can't just ask the sect master for this little thing? Or ask Patriarch Duanmu? That doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"

Deacon Chen was speechless.

He just said that.

But I really didn't expect that Ye Yunqi really wanted something of the fourth grade.

Although Ye Yunqi is a third-grade master craftsman, it is well known that whether it is the magic water or the spiritual food technique, it is ultimately inclined towards alchemy.

Although elixirs, weapons, talismans and arrays are all four major skills, they are not interconnected!
Even though both alchemy and weapon refining use fire, there is a huge difference between them.

Not to mention talismans and alchemy.

Even though Ye Yunqi just claimed that he was a talisman master, a very powerful talisman master.

In Deacon Chen's opinion, he might be a little more powerful than Amon.

Perhaps I have gotten started? After all, they are all craftsmen, and their spiritual power has long been honed. If there is a corresponding inheritance, getting started should not be difficult.

In addition, Ye Yunqi was very wealthy, so Deacon Chen felt that the second-grade supplies were enough.

Going up further, to the third rank, Deacon Chen can only say that some people in Master Ye are stupid and have a lot of money. Does he really think that just because he can become a third-rank craftsman, he can have third-rank skills in all his skills?
But now Ye Yunqi opened his mouth and said it was the fourth rank.

To put it bluntly.

Deacon Chen still thought Ye Yunqi was teasing him!
"Well... actually..." Deacon Chen said with some embarrassment, "It's my fault that I didn't explain it to you clearly just now. Although you can apply for fourth-grade supplies from the sect, it requires more than just contribution points. You also need to prove that you won't waste such supplies. I hope you can understand the sect. Fourth-grade supplies are hard to come by and should not be wasted easily."

This rule was not made up by Deacon Chen to fool Ye Yunqi.

But it is a rule that does exist.

It’s just that Deacon Chen didn’t expect Ye Yunqi to buy fourth-grade supplies, so he didn’t explain it in detail.

After all, the Sanqing Sect is only a fourth-grade sect, and its top combat power is at the Nascent Soul stage.

A fourth-grade material that can reach the Nascent Soul realm and influence Nascent Soul battles is extremely precious to the sect and cannot be wasted.

"I see. I can understand that, but I don't know how to avoid waste so that I can apply for fourth-grade supplies? You can't ask me to draw a fourth-grade talisman paper!" Ye Yunqi said with some embarrassment.

I already have the skills of a fourth-grade talisman master, but due to the limitations of my own cultivation, it is really difficult for me to draw it.

The most important thing is that I have nothing in my hands!

How to draw talismans without pen, ink, paper and inkstone?
If he had excellent writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, Ye Yunqi might as well try the fourth-grade talisman paper.

At least you need fourth-grade writing brushes, ink and paper.

But if he wants fourth-grade pen, ink and paper, he needs to draw fourth-grade talisman paper first, so Ye Yunqi might as well give up!

The third rank is enough for now.

After hearing what Ye Yunqi said, Deacon Chen thought to himself: According to what he said, it seems that he can't draw fourth-grade talisman paper, but this is normal! That's fourth-grade! Let alone fourth-grade, Master Ye now has nothing like pen, ink, and paper, so whether he can enter the grade or not is still up for discussion!

After all, if a person wants to master a skill, the first thing he needs to do is to practice enough.

Ink and paper can be used up.

A pen can also become worn out.

But the probability of all the pen, ink and paper being gone at the same time is extremely small.

Deacon Chen had no time to reply when this thought came to his mind.

Then I heard Amon say, "No need for the fourth rank."

"Hmm?" Ye Yunqi looked at Amon.

Amon's eyes sparkled as he said, "However, you need third-grade talisman paper. As long as you can draw third-grade talisman paper, you can buy fourth-grade pens, ink and paper. My great-grandmaster spent many years collecting a set of fourth-grade pens, ink and paper. In the past, I have seen the scene of my great-grandmaster drawing with a fourth-grade spiritual brush from afar, but unfortunately, I have never seen fourth-grade ink and paper."

Ink and paper are things that are used less each time. Even Amon's master would not normally use them.

As for the spirit pen, it was made from a refining tool. As it was a fourth-grade item, it was naturally not that easy to wear out. You only needed to provide enough spiritual energy during daily use, and the damage to the spirit pen would be negligible.

Therefore, talisman masters will purchase the highest quality talisman pens they can afford.

Buy some high-end paper and ink as backup.

As for daily life, of course, use suitable paper and ink.

"I didn't expect your master to be a third-grade talisman master. It's a pity that I didn't get to meet him." Ye Yunqi said politely, but in his heart he was thinking that he could still draw third-grade talisman paper if he tried hard, and then said, "Then, who should I look for?"

"Ok?"

Amon and Deacon Chen were both a little confused.

Ye Yunqi added: "I mean, who should I ask to apply for the fourth-grade supplies, and who should I ask to draw the third-grade talisman?"

Deacon Chen has fallen into self-doubt.

And Amon said quickly: "Master Ye, you can ask my master for this matter."

"Then let's go find your master." Ye Yunqi was just about to leave when he suddenly asked, "By the way, we don't need to prepare the pen, ink and paper for drawing talismans ourselves, right?"
