Chapter 79 - 79: 079 Auction_l
The first one was: The Spirit Calming Talisman.
It was somewhat like the Body Freezing Talisman, but while the Body Freezing Talisman immobilized the body, the Spirit Calming Talisman immobilized the spirit.
The second-level mid-grade Spirit Calming Talisman was effective on those below the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If it were those below the third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, once hit by the Spirit Calming Talisman, they would essentially be at the mercy of others.
The only method to break it was to attack with the Divine Sense.
The second one was: The Dragon Slaying Talisman.
The name might be a bit exaggerated, but the power of this talisman was immense. The ordinary Dragon Slaying Talisman was comparable to a full-strength attack of the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If it were a premium Dragon Slaying Talisman, it could potentially be a threat to the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Under unexpected circumstances, it might even be able to kill someone of the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, creating this talisman was difficult and hard to draw.
The third one was: The Mysterious Heavenly Shield Talisman.
As the name implies, this kind of talisman could form a Mysterious Heavenly Shield when used. The defensive power of the Mysterious Heavenly Shield was astonishing and very flexible. It could be sustained for a while, unless the enemy was too strong and could break the shield in one blow.
Su Yu planned to practice these three second-level mid-grade talismans for the next three months to see if he could get the hang of them.
With a calm mind and concentrated spirit, Su Yu touched the spirit beast’s blood with his talisman brush and as soon as the brush came into contact with the talisman paper, Su Yu’s mana and spirit merged into it. Concentrating hard, he began to draw the first Spirit Calming Talisman.
Not even fifteen minutes later, a burnt scent of spirit beast’s blood emerged as Su Yu’s brush made a slight mistake and the first piece of talisman paper was spoilt.
Su Yu set down his talisman brush and meditated in a cross-legged posture, regaining his mana and divine sense.
Half an hour later.
Su Yu stood up, picked up the talisman brush again, and exclaimed, “Again.” Several days passed, and Su Yu ruined nine pieces of second-level mid-grade talisman paper.
Finally, on the sixth day, he successfully drew his first Spirit Calming Talisman.
Although Su Yu lost quite a bit in order to make this Spirit Calming Talisman, when he saw the finished talisman on the paper, a smile of delight appeared on his face: “Finally, it’s done.”
Looking at the proficiency panel, the proficiency level of the Spirit Calming Talisman appeared to be around 11%.
That is to say, his chance of success in drawing one was about ten percent.
If he was to draw a talisman with his own material, he’d surely lose money.
But for Su Yu, as long as he could increase his proficiency level, he would easily earn back ten to a hundred times his initial investment.
Following that, while Su Yu was drawing the Spirit Calming Talisman, he began to attempt the new talisman, the Mysterious Heavenly Shield Talisman. The Mysterious Heavenly Shield Talisman was a bit easier than the Dragon Slaying Talisman, which was the most difficult among the three.
After another twenty days passed, he successfully mastered the Mysterious Heavenly Shield Talisman, with a proficiency level just above 10%.
While continuing to practice the Spirit Calming Talisman and the Mysterious Heavenly Shield Talisman, Su Yu mainly focused on the Dragon Slaying Talisman.
It was not until three months later, when the Spiritual Palace auction arrived, that he succeeded in drawing his first Dragon Slaying Talisman.
As for the second-grade lower-class puppet beast
He simply didn’t have time to forge it.
When Su Yu emerged from the secret chamber, he received his Dao-Body Puppet into his Dantian. He checked his Qiankun Bag. Originally, he had 11,200 lower-grade Spirit Stones left, but now, he only had 4,000 left.
The Dao-Body Puppet fused with the Puppet Soul and could automatically devour materials to advance.
It hadn’t stopped doing so throughout this period.
Besides, Su Yu had been purchasing a large number of materials for second-level mid-grade talismans. The cost of the materials for a second-level mid-grade talisman was approximately one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones.
The price of a second-level mid-grade talisman outside, on the other hand, was over five hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones each.
But you couldn’t possibly buy them.
Even if it were presented to a big power, they would overpay and bring the materials to ask the talisman master to make it.
Mainly, the materials for talismans of this level are quite scarce and expensive, but the success rate is not impressive.
Therefore, there aren’t many in Bai Yue Immortal City who have reached the middle level of the second rank in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
The third rank
Su Yu had only heard of its existence but had never seen it himself.
“I prepared sixty sets of materials for the talismans and used up forty-eight of them. Of those, three Fixing Spirit talismans, two Mysterious Sky Shield talismans, and one Dragon Slaying talisman were successfully drawn. In total, I completed six talismans.” Su Yu muttered to himself incredulously.
To him, this success rate was simply appalling.
But if other middle-rank talisman makers of the second rank learned that he managed to advance to the middle stage of the second rank and successfully draw six medium-grade talismans within just three months, they would probably scream in shock.
Especially considering that the three types of talismans Su Yu chose were not ordinary talismans of middle grade second rank.
He walked out of his room’s door.
The golden sunlight shone down on Su Yu, who closed his eyes slightly.
Then, he opened his eyes and muttered, “I’m out of money again.”
He examined his Qiankun Bag. The few middle-grade second rank talismans definitely couldn’t be sold, and he certainly couldn’t touch the second-rank human-shaped puppet either. There were plenty of other miscellaneous items, but they weren’t worth much money.
As for the over thirty lower-grade second-rank talismans that were his ultimate resource, he couldn’t touch them either.
In the end, Su Yu’s gaze fell on a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill and an ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill. “Let’s sell one of ordinary quality,” Su Yu decided.
After some thought,
he returned to his room, summoned the avatar puppet, and had it transform into an unknown old man. Wearing a magic artifact as a hat, and carrying the ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill, he quietly left and headed towards the Spirit Hall.
As for Su Yu himself, he headed to Wutong Dange.
Spirit Hall.
The avatar puppet, disguised as an elder and wearing a hat, entered the grand hall. Immediately, a Spirit Hall disciple came to greet him respectfully, “What can I do for you, senior?”
“To auction an item.”
The avatar puppet merely released a shred of a Foundation Establishment realm aura, and the disciple immediately shivered with respect and quickly led him to the second floor to meet with a Spirit Hall manager.
This Spirit Hall manager, in the ninth layer of Qi Refinement realm, was quite respectful in front of the avatar puppet: “May I inquire as to what item the senior wants to auction?”
The avatar puppet waved his hand to reveal the jade box with the Foundation Establishment Pill. His raspy voice behind the hat said, “It’s a Foundation Establishment Pill. Its quality is not outstanding, but it’s better than average.”
The Spirit Hall manager’s pupils contracted, his gaze at the avatar puppet full of awe: “Is the senior a second-rank pill master? Please wait a moment while I invite a higher authority to attend to you.”
The avatar puppet’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he still nodded slightly.
A short while later,
a familiar voice came from outside, causing the avatar puppet to pause. He turned to look, and astonishingly, it was an ‘old acquaintance’, the hall manager of the true hall, a first realm Foundation Establishment cultivator and a lower-rank second level Pill Master, Hu Xiu.
“Fellow Daoist wants to auction a Foundation Establishment Pill?” Hu Xiu walked in from outside, smiling broadly as he looked at the puppet wearing the hat, his attitude fawning.
“I have yet to ask for your Daoist name? Recently, in our Bai Yue Immortal
City…”
Bang!
Before he could even finish his ingratiating speech, an oppressive aura descended upon Hu Xiu. In an instant, Hu Xiu’s face turned pale white, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his mind buzzed, crashing completely.
The avatar puppet coldly reproved, “Are you done talking nonsense? If so, shut
“When was it decided that visiting the Spirit Hall in your Bai Yue Immortal City to auction something would require examination by you people?” The avatar puppet’s anger was rising, and he barked out angrily.
Bang!
Frightened by this sudden outburst, Hu Xiu shrieked, stumbled backward, and almost fell on his buttocks: “Ah!” Hu Xiu was completely stunned:
