Chapter 164 – The Secret of the Runic Treasure

　　”Elder Ding, would you please take a look at this item? Although I feel as though it’s a thousand year old spirit medicine, I’m not very sure in my heart, and I still hope that Elder Ding will give an appraisal of the year.” Boss Tian said in a humble tone before handing over the brocade box.

　　”Thousand year spirit herb?” Elder Ding was a little incredulous at the words, but still took the brocade box.

　　”Please take a closer look, your old man! Is it really a thousand year old Yellow Essence Cheese?” Boss Tian forced down the great excitement in his heart and said with some urgency.

　　The old man did not say anything, but squinted his eyes, looking intently at the box’s form, color, and even texture, and from time to time put the box under his nose, sniffing it a few times.

　　This medicinal herb had been spawned by Han Li, so whether it was a thousand year old elixir or not, he naturally had a number in his mind, so he always sat calmly on the sidelines, treating the old man’s actions as if they were invisible. What he was considering was only the question of how to bargain with Wan Bao Lou.

　　Boss Tian was the opposite of Han Li, he watched the old man’s every move without blinking, that kind of calm demeanor that he had when he met with Han Li had completely disappeared, and at this time, his face was filled with expectations, anxiety, and other complicated feelings of loss.

　　Finally, Ding Lao gently placed the box on the table, then twisted his beard in his hand and closed his eyes in contemplation for a while before opening his eyes and calmly said in a very affirmative tone, “Congratulations to the shopkeeper, this is indeed a thousand years or more of the Yellow Essence Cheese is not true, and it is still just unearthed not long ago, the medicinal properties have not been damaged in the slightest the very best of the thousand years of the medicinal herbs, this point the old man can make a guarantee! ”

　　Tian Boss’s face was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he sent this old man down the stairs, and then he couldn’t help but pick up the box containing the spirit herb, and looked at it several times again and again.

　　”Shopkeeper Tian, shouldn’t you and I talk about the transaction!” Han Li looked to the party seemed to have forgotten that the owner of the spirit grass was still sitting on the sidelines, and couldn’t help but speak out to remind a sentence.

　　”Oh …… ah! …… I’m so confused, I hope Brother Li will forgive me!” After Boss Tian slightly froze, he then remembered that this spirit grass did not yet belong to Wan Bao Lou, and his face could not help but gently redden.

　　”Hehe, it’s nothing! But how does Your Excellency intend to trade, seeing as Boss Tian is so fond of this item, I’m sure he won’t let me down!” Han Li said with a light smile, slightly squeezing the other party.

　　At this point, Boss Tian’s expression returned to normal and placed the item in his hand back on the table before saying, “Since Brother Li can take out a thousand year old spirit herb, I’m sure he’s not an ordinary Immortal Cultivator either. Then I don’t need to use the same set of deception of doing business to deceive brother, so I’ll give Your Excellency a fair price!”

　　When he said this, after a little thought, he continued in a very sincere tone, “This Spirit Grass can be exchanged for any two of the brocade box treasures that I have shown Brother Li, or it can be exchanged individually for the last item in the brocade box. If you still can’t see any of them, then this building can also offer spirit stones that will make you absolutely satisfied. Buy the spirit grass. Brother Li, what do you think?”

　　Han Li sensed the sincerity in the other party’s words, and after turning it over in his mind a few times, he also felt that the price was quite reasonable, not exceeding his own bottom limit, so he secretly had the intention of agreeing to it for seven or eight minutes. But before that, he still want to look at that last box is loaded in the end what is it?

　　But Tian Boss not waiting for Han Li to open his mouth, has been the last brocade box lid lifted, and pushed to the front of the Han Li, said with a smile: “This box is loaded with, but the building’s treasure of the town hall. However, it is to see if you know what you’re looking for!”

　　Han Li’s curiosity rose, his eyes glanced towards the box, and he was suddenly dumbfounded, the box even held a lone talisman, and above it was painted with the pattern of a long golden brick, glittering with golden light and lifelike.

　　After taking a good look at this object, Han Li’s mind turned non-stop, immediately associating it with his own talisman that had a small gray sword drawn on it, could it be the same thing?

　　”A talismanic treasure?” Han Li let out a deep breath and asked in an uncertain opening.

　　Boss Tian’s stunned expression flickered before he said in surprise, “I really didn’t think that Brother Li would be able to recognize this item! Logically, this treasure should be known to very few Immortal Cultivators. Brother Li is truly knowledgeable, I admire you!”

　　Upon hearing this, Han Li laughed bitterly for a few moments, then shook his head and sighed, “Your Excellency thinks too highly of Mister Li, this talismanic treasure is only known to me, and I really know very little about it. However, since Mr. Tian was able to take out this item, he must know a thing or two about talismanic treasures, I hope to teach you!”

　　These words Han Li said all true words, he did want to take the opportunity to thoroughly understand the ins and outs of the “talismanic treasure”, and also save the confusion that has been going on.

　　Tian shopkeeper some unexpected look at Han Li, think this is not what need to keep things secret, just know less people, and is not worth it to offend the big customers in front of you, very quickly agreed, and a one out about the “talismanic treasure” everything.

　　”Rune treasure” this thing is really a great origin, is actually more than the JieDan stage cultivators can make a special item.

　　It is the refinement of magic treasure of high-level cultivators, part of the power of the magic treasure is sealed into the special talisman paper, so that other cultivators can also temporarily make the power of the magic treasure of a special talisman, so that at the same time it has the dual characteristics of the talisman and magic treasure, by the cultivators who know of its existence jokingly referred to as the “pseudo-magic treasure,” and is highly sought after by them.

　　This “pseudo magic treasure” is very special, the production of which requires a cultivator above the JieDan stage, but the use of which can be used by cultivators of any class. Even cultivators with three or four layers of techniques like the Jin Guang Shangren that Han Li killed can use it in a similar fashion.

　　It was only that cultivators before the Foundation Establishment Stage did not know the art of condensation, so using a talismanic treasure could only utilize one-twelfth of the power of a talismanic treasure, which didn’t seem to be that much higher when compared to a top-tier magic weapon.

　　And after the foundation stage cultivators can use the mind condensation method, can put the “talisman treasure” power not the slightest surplus of all play out, that power although can not be like the real treasure as shocking, tsunami avalanche, but also enough to defy all the other magic weapons and so on. Therefore, after the foundation stage cultivators, everyone wants to have a “talisman treasure”, which will allow them to prevail in the fight, can be proud of others.

　　Although the power of “talismanic treasure” is amazing, but the use of it will constantly consume the power of the magic treasure that exists within it, if the power is consumed, the talismanic treasure will also be completely useless. Therefore, how to control the use of the power of the magic treasure, this is also a problem that should not be taken lightly.

　　In addition, the production of “talismanic treasures” is not a simple matter.

　　Because the magic treasure is the original JieDan stage cultivators can only refine things, not only the number of rare, and always in the cultivator’s true essence within the day and night quenching in order to increase its power, easily will not be taken out to show people, so not to mention to use it to make what “talismanic treasure”.

　　To know that the production of “talisman treasure”, but the equivalent of the magic treasure power to part of the self-loss behavior, each production of a “talisman treasure” out, the treasure owner has to re-quenched a long time in order to refining the power back again, which is typical of the benefit of self-inflicted damage to the behavior. Therefore, under normal circumstances is not that JieDan stage or above cultivators will do this kind of silly things.

　　But as the saying goes, things are unpredictable. Refining “talisman treasure” this kind of seemingly stupid action, most of the high-level cultivators before the end of their lives, will go crazy to do. In order to be able to leave a considerable amount of help to their descendants or younger generations.

　　To know the former legacy of the treasure, after a long time condensed and then re-inherited by others, the new owner is unable to do with the treasure completely unity of mind and spirit, the original power of the treasure will be lost in half, which also requires that the person must also reach the JieDan stage to be able to do. Otherwise can only dry eyes looking at the magic treasure, and can not use the slightest. In this way, compared to leave the magic treasure intact, or refine “talisman treasure” for their offspring more suitable.

　　However, there are many limitations to refining talismanic treasures.

　　First of all, each “talisman treasure” can seal the power of the magic treasure, at most can only be one tenth of the power of the magic treasure, can only be reduced not increased. Therefore, even according to the “talisman treasure” sealed by the same magic treasure, its power is also uneven and different.

　　Secondly, refining talismans would not only reduce the power of the talisman, but would also cause the owner of the talisman to lose a lot of vitality, so the scenario of continually refining “talismans” was impossible. Every time a talismanic treasure is refined, the owner of the treasure has to rest for three to five years to recover his vitality, and this is still in the case that he does not waste his true essence and does not intend to re-temper the treasure, or else the time will be even longer.

　　This is why the Immortal Cultivation World often has a scenario like this.

　　Before the end of the high-level cultivators, through the preparation before sitting down, the most valuable thing left behind after his death, is often a great reduction in the power of the magic treasure, and a number of sealing the same power of the “talismanic treasure”, which can not be said to be a very helpless thing!
