Then, he spent fifty low-grade spiritual stones to purchase one hundred basic runes.

After walking out of the True Talisman Hall and looking at the only twenty-eight low-grade spiritual stones left in his pocket, Meng Zhou shook his head and thought to himself, these spiritual stones are really worthless.

When passing by the square, Meng Zhou's heart moved and he turned around and walked in.

After walking around twice, Meng Zhou stopped in front of a middle-aged monk's stall and asked, "How do you sell these talisman materials?"

The middle-aged monk hurriedly said: "Three copies of a low-grade spiritual stone!"

Meng Zhou pouted and said, "Are you sure?"

The middle-aged monk hesitated and said nothing. Meng Zhou said:

"Looking at the talisman papers you have, they vary in size and texture, and the raw materials used are from four different sources, right?

And your talisman ink is red, green, and there are countless sources of materials!"

The middle-aged man defended: "But I can guarantee that their quality is no worse than the talisman materials provided in the True Talisman Hall!"

Meng Zhou sneered, "Are you kidding me that I don't understand, or are you kidding me that I haven't been to the True Talisman Hall?"

As he spoke, there was a stack of talisman papers in his hand, one hundred of them neatly cut, like banknotes. Just holding them in your hand was a pleasure.

He waved it in front of the other party and said: "I just came out of the True Talisman Hall, so don't fool me with your layman's words. Please give me an honest price!"

The middle-aged man said: "Four copies of a low-grade spiritual stone!"

But Meng Zhou remained unmoved. He finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Four and a half, really no more! You have to let me earn some, right?"

Meng Zhou said: "That's just nine parts of two low-grade spiritual stones, right?"

The middle-aged man's face twitched, but he still nodded: "Yes!"

Meng Zhou pointed out twenty low-grade spiritual stones: "Give me ninety copies!"

When the middle-aged man saw that he bought so much at one time, his expression finally softened a lot, and he just assumed it was a small profit but a quick turnover.

After completing the transaction, Meng Zhou hurried back without any further delay.

Returning to the stone room of Zuowang Pavilion, Meng Zhou took out five copies of both talismans.

Two hours later, Meng Zhou rubbed his wrist and looked at all ten cleansing charms that had been drawn successfully, and murmured:

"It seems that the problems that trouble other Talisman Makers have no impact on me."

In terms of quality alone, the talisman paper and ink he bought at the street stall were no worse than those from the Zhental Talisman Hall.

But for talisman makers, a very important factor that affects their payment success rate is the stability of the talisman paper and ink.

Not to mention the different materials used to make talisman paper and ink, the same material has different origins and different producers, which will reflect subtle spiritual differences in the final product.

This difference has nothing to do with quality, but it will definitely affect the success rate of making talismans.

A big force like the True Talisman Hall, with its stable material origin and fixed process flow, finally achieved strict quality control and completely crushed individual talisman makers like middle-aged men.

…

After this big purchase, Meng Zhou stayed at home for several days without leaving home.

During the day, he made talismans and deciphered stone rubbings.

Practice continuously at night and make efforts every day.

On the evening of the fourth day, when Meng Zhou sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, he began a new day of practice.

The progress of cultivation is "96/100 at the fourth level of Qi training".

As the water nourishing and moisturizing techniques of the Dacheng Realm circulate in the body over and over again, the mana increases little by little.

Soon, the abundant mana broke through a layer of obstacles.

Five levels of Qi training, breakthrough.

Meng Zhou did not stop and continued to practice until the magic power of the Water Nourishing and Moisturizing Technique was in the body for twenty-two days.
