After asking a few more times, Master Tianjing saw that no one came up. Although he had expected this, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

When he was about to put away the remaining puppet beasts, another person suddenly stood up and walked over.

This cheered up the old Taoist, who looked at the newcomer with some surprise and asked, "Fellow Taoist, do you also have a soul stone?"

The person who came forward was Yin Mo, who had already made up his mind. He silently flipped his palm, and a green crystal appeared in his hand.

However, this crystal was as big as an egg, and the cold and gloomy aura emanating from it could almost be seen with the naked eye, which was far from comparable to the crystal that the old Taoist had taken out.

When Master Tianjing heard this, he was startled at first, then he was filled with joy and said with a smile:

"Daoyou, this soul stone is so big, it is really rare to see it."

"How about this, you can pick two of these puppets and take them away. I won't let you suffer any loss."

"Just two?" Yin Mo heard this, chuckled and shook his head.

"What's wrong, fellow Daoist, do you think it's too little? I wonder how many you plan to exchange for?" Taoist Master Tianjing was not angry at all and asked in a friendly manner.

"Let's exchange this soul stone for all of your remaining puppets." Yin Mo said calmly.

"Six! Don't you think that's too greedy, fellow Taoist?" Upon hearing this, the old Taoist frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, whether it's greedy or not, the real person should know it very well."

"This soul stone is not just about size. Besides, such a large soul stone, for a real person..." Yin Mo stared at Real Person Tianjing and stopped talking before he finished.

After hearing this, Master Tianjing's expression changed slightly. He looked at Yin Mo deeply for a few times, then said in silence for a moment:
"Well, such a large soul stone is indeed rare to see."

"I need something like this as well. Let's do the exchange as you said."

When the other cultivators heard the old Taoist say this, they were also a little surprised, and they all looked at the egg-sized crystal in Yin Mo's hand a few more times.

You should always pay more attention to something that can be exchanged for several rare puppets at once.

Yin Mo's expression remained unchanged as he handed over the crystal. Then he lowered his head slightly and flicked his sleeves, and all six puppet beasts disappeared.

But the other cultivators did not notice that Yin Mo's lips moved slightly when he lowered his head. A trace of suspicion flashed in Tianjing Zhenren's eyes.

After Master Tianjing announced the end of the exchange, the monks left the attic one after another. Yin Mo and the other three also joined them and left Jinglong Pavilion.

The three of them remained silent the whole way until they crossed two streets and were a little away from the attic. Then the Fire Dragon Boy spoke in a mature tone.

"I have another appointment, so I won't be with you."

"If there's something you need to take care of, do it."

"We live not far away, and we will have a chance to get together again later." Lu Luo said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take my leave now!"

The Fire Dragon Boy said this bluntly, nodded to Yin Mo, and then walked towards another street.

"This fellow Daoist Huolong is such an interesting person!" Yin Mo looked at the boy's departing back and suddenly smiled and said.

"Fellow Daoist Huolong accidentally ate a strange herb when he was young, so his appearance and body shape have always remained that of a boy."

"But he is a generous and straightforward person, which is rare among the few fellow disciples I know. In the Ancient Sword Sect, he is the only elder who is friendly to our Luoyun Sect."

Yin Mo raised his eyebrows after hearing this, but he was thinking in his heart:

"It sounds like the other elders of Ancient Sword Sect don't think highly of our Luoyun Sect."

"By the way, Junior Brother Yin, what are your plans next? Do you want to go back to your residence and rest now, or go somewhere else for a walk?" Lu Luo asked after looking around.

"I need to buy some special materials, so I plan to visit a few nearby markets. Maybe I'll find something unexpected."

Yin Mo answered without hiding anything.

"It just so happens that I also plan to go to the auction house to send some things for auction. So Junior Brother Yin and I will part ways here."

Lu Luo heard that Yin Mo wanted to act alone and said without objection.

So, Yin Mo and Lu Luo immediately parted ways and took action separately.

……

The several markets in Tiantian City are very large, at least several times larger than the markets of the three major sects in Yunmeng Mountain.

Yin Mo walked on the streets of the market town west of Tiantian City, constantly looking at the shops on both sides.

The purchase of materials mentioned by Yin Mo and Lu Luo was not empty talk.

He did plan to purchase some rare talisman-making materials in order to refine some high-level talismans.

Although he already had a large amount of spirit beast skins and blood, he still needed some other auxiliary materials to refine high-level talisman paper and high-level cinnabar.

In this way, in order to increase the success rate, in addition to improving his talisman-making ability, he must also change to a better talisman-making pen.

The original talisman-making pen should have been eliminated long ago.

However, although the materials for making talismans are easy to buy, it is not easy to find a satisfactory talisman-making pen.

The first two shops also sell talisman-making pens, and some even have rare top-grade talisman-making pens.

But after looking at it, Yin Mo just shook his head and left.

These talisman-making pens may be suitable for making ordinary high-level talismans, but they are obviously not enough to draw secret talismans such as summoning talismans.

Although the Five Elements magic talismans are considered high-level talismans, the power of most high-level spells is not as strong as that of magic weapons.

Therefore, once a cultivator has reached the stage of Dan, he will basically give up on practicing the Five Elements magic.

However, that doesn't mean that high-level spells are completely useless.

As far as Yin Mo knew, there were many powerful five-element spells. Once they were cast, even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would not dare to resist them.

However, these spells are not only difficult to practice, but also quite tedious and troublesome to comprehend.

With such time and energy, it would be better to use magic weapons directly to attack.

However, Yin Mo vaguely heard other monks talking about the fact that the Mulan people's mages seemed to have broken through this limitation.

They have developed many powerful "spiritual arts" that can be performed instantly.

This allows low-level mages to compete with ordinary monks without the need for magical weapons or talismans.

When a high-level magician uses magic weapons in conjunction with spiritual arts, he becomes even more powerful and can easily defeat a cultivator of the same level.

Because of this, when several major forces in Tiannan joined forces to fight against the Mulan people, they could only protect themselves and could not truly defeat them.

Ever since his Nascent Soul was formed, Yin Mo began to carefully study several of the most basic advanced spells.

Although he had mastered three or four of them, his casting speed was still quite slow. He believed that if he used these spells in battle, unless his opponent had an unbreakable solid defense, he would probably be defeated many times by monks of the same level during the casting process.

However, it is very effective to suddenly use high-level talismans in conjunction with magic weapons when fighting against the enemy.

If he released twenty or thirty high-level attack talismans in one breath like he was casting low-level talismans, even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would have no choice but to run away immediately.

But such an attack was only a momentary idea, because each attack would consume tens of thousands of spirit stones, and no one dared to use them so extravagantly.

In addition, high-level talismans are also extremely precious in the world of immortal cultivation, and most of them have auxiliary properties.

While Yin Mo was thinking, he walked through the streets of the market, constantly looking at the larger magic weapon shops and grocery stores on both sides.

Generally speaking, only large stores may sell top-quality talisman-making pens.

As for those smaller shops, there is no need to ask. Nine times out of ten, they will not have this kind of special magical instrument, let alone the top-notch one.

Perhaps some of the small shops really do have treasures hidden in them, but Yin Mo is unwilling to waste time searching for them one by one.

After all, in a city like Tiantian City, even if he didn't do anything else, it would be impossible for him to visit all the shops in more than ten days.

In addition to Yin Mo, there were other cultivators on the street going in and out of various shops, buying what they needed with different expressions.

Most of the cultivators on the street are foundation-building cultivators, and occasionally there are a small number of Jindan cultivators.

As for the Qi Refining cultivators, apart from the local cultivators in Tiantian City, there are very few Qi Refining cultivators from outside.

Yin Mo disguised his cultivation level once again to appear to be in the middle stage of the Jindan period. Therefore, although he met many cultivators on the road, he was only stared at a few more times with a little awe by those cultivators in the Foundation Establishment period.

As for the Jindan cultivators, if they don’t know each other, they will just walk straight past each other.

In this way, Yin Mo did not attract much attention. He leisurely strolled through one large store after another.

When Yin Mo came out of an attic disappointed again, most of the day had passed.

He watched the sky gradually darken and the shops light up their moonstones one after another. He wondered whether he should go back to where he lived or visit a few more shops.

However, at this moment, there was a noise coming from the front, as if someone was arguing, which attracted the curious attention of some monks nearby.

Yin Mo frowned, immediately put his hands behind his back, turned around expressionlessly, and planned to go back.

But before he had taken a few steps, he heard an angry voice shouting, "What's going on?"

"Are all the cultivators in your Luoyun Sect so shameless? You want to leave after breaking something without paying for it?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't compensate you. It's just that I just bought other things in this store, and I really don't have that many spirit stones on me."

"Besides, this Fire Cloud Talisman is only of the primary or intermediate level. How can it be priced at three hundred Spiritual Stones? A hundred or so Spiritual Stones at most should be enough."

"And I've left my sect's token here. I can borrow some spirit stones when I return to the inn."

The other man's voice sounded angry and loud.

Yin Mo stopped and listened. The voice seemed familiar, as if it was someone from the Luoyun Sect.

He thought about it and decided to go over and take a look.

After all, he is now one of the three elders of Luoyun Sect, and he can't just pretend not to know and leave.

A moment later, Yin Mo walked to a small grocery store and saw a dozen monks watching, and there seemed to be a few people arguing inside.

One of them was dressed in black and had an angry look on his face. He was Sun Huo from Huoyun Peak who I had met at the Sword Testing Conference.

After not seeing each other for just twenty years, the appearance of this young man named Sun Huo has not changed much, but his cultivation has obviously improved.

Standing opposite him were three local monks with unfriendly faces, who looked like the owner and clerk of the store.

At this time, a monk with a short beard who looked like a shopkeeper in the store rolled his eyes and said to Sun Huo:

"A worthless token, what can I do with it?"

"Even if you don't want this token, I won't chase you to Xi Country after returning to Luoyun Sect."

"Stop talking nonsense. Since you don't have any spirit stones, take out the things in your storage bag and use them as collateral for me."

"As for that Fire Cloud Talisman, do you think it's just an ordinary intermediate talisman? It was made by our Tiantian City Talisman Master himself."

"Charging you 300 spirit stones is already very cheap. Are all the cultivators of Luoyun Sect so poor?"

After saying these words, the shopkeeper glanced at the wooden box held in the hands of the clerk next to him, and a look of regret appeared on his face, as if he had really suffered a great loss.

"Okay! The things are yours, you can say whatever you want."

"You can say that an ordinary Fire Cloud Talisman was made by a talisman master." After hearing this, Sun Huo laughed angrily.

"Why? Can you tell that this talisman was made by the master himself?"

"Or do you really not want to compensate for the loss of our store? Then don't blame me for notifying the city's law enforcement officer."

The shopkeeper sneered and threatened unceremoniously.

After hearing this, Sun Huo's face turned pale and red.

The law enforcement officer of the Nine-Nation Alliance has arrived, and he knows who he will favor.

Moreover, this matter seems to be unclear. It seems that I have really suffered a loss this time!
His face changed from gloomy to bright for a while, then Sun Huo stomped his feet and slammed the storage bag on his waist.

Suddenly, a large number of talismans of various colors appeared in his hands. Although the level was not high, it was enough to temporarily offset two or three hundred spirit stones.

"Although these talismans are not of high level, they are enough to temporarily offset two or three hundred spirit stones." Sun Huo said gritting his teeth.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression eased a little: "That's about it!" Then he reached out to take the talisman.

"Oops, this one is wrong!" Sun Huo glanced at the talisman in his hand, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly took out a torn yellow talisman paper and handed it over.

"Humph! You're so concerned about a tattered blank talisman paper? You Luoyun Sect are really poor."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled sarcastically, and reached out to take the talisman again.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared among them and snatched the talismans.

Sun Huo was startled, and the shopkeeper took a few steps back and asked angrily, "Who is it? What do you want to do?"

"Nothing! I just heard you say this and that about our Luoyun Sect. I want to ask you, do you dare to say it again in front of me?"

The monk who suddenly appeared said expressionlessly.

After he finished speaking, an astonishing aura burst out from his body, forcing the nearby monks to involuntarily take a few steps back.

Some of those with lower cultivation levels even fell to their knees.

Although the two Jindan cultivators who were passing by were in better condition, they were also frightened by this momentum. One of them even cried out in disbelief: "Yuanying cultivator! Senior, you..." (End of this chapter)
