Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

Chapter 2317: Golden Armor Talisman
 

Origin Jade.

Not Source Stone.

Those two pieces of Origin Jade were worth two hundred Source Stones.

“We will take you to the outer sect market, then you can leave on your own, how about that?”

Han Muye’s gaze fell on the Daoist, and he asked.

The Daoist nodded repeatedly, took a few steps to get into the carriage, and then sat opposite Han Muye gasping for breath.

“The times have really changed…”

The times have changed?

Han Muye lightly smiled and nodded, a light Flowing Light shimmering on a green talisman in his palm.

The Flowing Light activated the talismans on the carriage, causing the air around to slightly stir, and then dissipate.

It was only a moment after the carriage left that several figures landed on the road.

“That Conjoined Path Cultivator from the Yun Qing Dao Sect disappeared right here.”

“There was a fluctuation of talismans, someone must have intervened to save that person.”

The elderly leader furrowed his brows, holding a Blue Longsword and pointing it forward.

“Let’s head to the Phoenix Cry City market and see.”

…

By the time Han Muye and the others’ carriage arrived at Phoenix Cry City, the disciple named Yang Qin from the Yun Qing Dao Sect had already left.

Phoenix Cry City was a large city inhabited by hundreds of thousands, among whom many had a profound presence.

Throughout his journey, Han Muye had already seen several cultivators above the fifth level of the Rebirth Realm.

Wu Quan was very clever, after some inquiries, he led Han Muye to stop in front of a three-story shop.

This shop named “Jade Talisman Pavilion” specialized in the business of Talismans.

“Do you wish to customize talismans or buy them directly?”

“Our Jade Talisman Pavilion has the best Talisman Masters within ten thousand miles, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

The approaching shop assistant was all smiles.

Han Muye looked into the shop, where he could see many green jade talismans displayed.

“See what you think about this talisman in my hand.”

Han Muye took out two jade talismans and spoke.

The assistant, having seen cultivators come to sell jade talismans before, wasn’t surprised. He took the talismans, sensed them, and then smiled, “Senior, this jade talisman is finely carved, the Source Power is distributed evenly, and the layout of the soul power is stable. It is indeed a fine talisman.”

Looking at Han Muye, the assistant handed back the jade talisman, “If you wish to sell this talisman, our Jade Talisman Pavilion can offer twelve hundred Source Stones for it.”

One jade talisman, valued at twelve hundred Source Stones.

Carving such items required intense practice, and sensing the power of runes wasn’t something ordinary people could achieve.

Most importantly, the infusion of the soul power, which required the strength of the Soul Hidden Realm.

that is to say, every Talisman Master belonged to the Soul Hidden Boundary.

“I have five talismans with me.” Han Muye took out all five talismans.

The assistant’s face showed surprise, and he bowed to Han Muye, “Please wait a moment, Senior.”

He then returned to the back hall of the shop, and shortly after, a Daoist in a pale gray robe, who appeared to be in his fifites, walked out.

“Fellow Daoist, are you also a Talisman Master?”

“Haha, I am Guo Huai De, the resident Talisman Master of Jade Talisman Pavilion.”

The Daoist smiled broadly, walked up to Han Muye, looked him over, and saluted, “Your Talisman crafting methods are extremely refined, clearly showing extraordinary skill. I happen to have some challenging talisman issues I’d like to consult you about.”

Seeing Han Muye’s expression, the Taoist waved his hands, laughed, and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not without compensation, if Fellow Daoist can solve my problem, a thousand Source Stones for one question, how about that?”

A thousand Source Stones for one question?

That could work.

Han Muye, who was in need of Source Stones, would not refuse such an opportunity to make money.

Seeing Han Muye nod, Guo Huai De smiled and gestured for Han Muye to walk towards the rear hall.

Upon reaching the rear hall, one could see blocks of green jade laid out, along with various carving knives and books.

Guo Huai De introduced them, saying this was where the Talisman Masters of Jade Talisman Pavilion usually resided.

Jade Talisman Pavilion was the largest talisman-controlling power within ten thousand miles, housing over a dozen Talisman Masters who were usually stationed in various locations.

Jade Talisman Pavilion at Phoenix Cry City was just one near Nine Mystic Mountain, and Guo Huai De was just one of the Talisman Masters there with rather mediocre cultivation strength.

“Nine Mystic Mountain, being disrupted by the True Dao Sect in the talisman market, makes Jade Talisman Pavilion somewhat reluctant to operate here,” Guo Huai De explained as he took out two talismans and handed them to Han Muye.

“Fellow Daoist Han, have you seen these talismans from the True Dao Sect?”

“Crude carving methods, messy soul infusion,” Guo Huai De remarked with a hint of disdain in his voice.

Han Muye took the talismans, feeling them, and indeed they were from the True Dao Sect—carved by low-level cultivators then infused with soul power extracted by an array from a Dao merge cultivator.

In the eyes of a proper Talisman Master, these techniques were utterly unacceptable.

The reason Guo Huai De invited Han Muye was because Han Muye’s technique in talisman refinement was many times better than that of the True Dao Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Han, here is a talisman I refined—this golden armor talisman always fails to function at the critical moment. Could you possibly analyze it?” Guo Huai De took another talisman and looked towards Han Muye.

Han Muye took the talisman Guo Huai De refined, channeling a faint Source Power into it, revealing all its secrets.

Golden armor talisman—once refined, it would transform into a set of golden armor which none under the fifth level of the Rebirth Realm could break.

Especially since this armor could also enhance strength and speed, significantly increasing the wearer’s combat strength.

However, as Guo Huai De mentioned, the talisman failed to operate at the most crucial moment, resulting in an armor that could not materialize.

Running the calculations in his mind, Han Muye gained a thorough understanding of the talisman.

“Fellow Daoist Guo, the refining of this golden armor talisman isn’t wrong, but your own cultivation isn’t sufficient. Refining this talisman in the Half-Step Physique Hidden Boundary results in inadequate Physical Strength Comprehension,” Han Muye stated, eyes resting on Guo Huai De as he handed back the talisman. “Actually, Fellow Daoist could use another method, turning the golden armor talisman into a golden shield talisman. Although the power of the talisman would be lesser, it is relatively easier to create a successful one.”

Guo Huai De’s cultivation was not in the Soul Hidden Boundary; rather, he specialized in talismans, enhancing his soul power with secret techniques.

Such methods were common among talisman masters, albeit with the downside of an unstable foundation.@@novelbin@@

In today’s Supreme Realm, not many possess the strength of the Soul Hidden Realm; they could only rely on secret techniques to enhance their soul power or depend on ancient practitioners, who lacked physical strength, to craft talismans with their soul power.

“Thanks for the guidance, Fellow Daoist,” Guo Huai De said cheerily, handing over a small bag of Source Stones and then handing a jade token to Han Muye.

“Fellow Daoist Han, if you refine talismans in the future, you can directly sell them at Jade Talisman Pavilion with this token.”

“I, Jade Talisman Pavilion, won’t earn a margin, so you stand to profit more.”

Having this token allowed direct sales at Jade Talisman Pavilion without needing to buy and resell.

Han Muye pondered for a moment, took the token, and left.

“Looks like another cultivator who has awakened from ancient times,” Guo Huai De remarked with a smile as he watched Han Muye’s departing figure.

“Let’s see his abilities first; once True Dao Sect makes a move, I, Jade Talisman Pavilion, will step in and recruit him.”

With a light chuckle, Guo Huai De turned, looking at his own talisman with increasing joy.

“Turning the golden armor talisman into a golden shield talisman is not a bad choice.”

…

After Han Muye left the Jade Talisman Pavilion, Wu Quan approached nervously.

“Ancestor, that Yang Qin from Yun Qing Dao Sect has been captured.”

Handing a scroll to Han Muye, Wu Quan lowered his voice, “Yang Qin passed this to me while being pursued, asking me to hand it to the Ancestor.”
