Of course, in the past six months, Su Chen has not completely gained nothing in spiritual materials.

He often went out to perform various errand tasks, and needed to travel between counties and traverse the mountains and rivers. Once, when he was crossing a small river, he actually stepped on a small piece of blue water-like stone in the stream.

Another time while resting in the woods, I accidentally touched a small piece of dead tree in the sycamore tree that came from somewhere. I magically discovered that there was a faint blue wood spiritual reaction inside it.

The spiritual energy they contain is very weak, but after all, it is also a spiritual energy reaction, rather than a dead stone, dead wood, etc. that is completely unsavory.

These were purely picked up by passing by and accidentally, and were caught off guard by surprise.

Su Chen has been surprised to find that there are actually a small amount of spiritual materials in Wu County. It is just the naked eye of the secular mortals, and there is no way to distinguish between spiritual materials and non-spiritual materials and has no idea.

Even if the master has extraordinary perception, he may not notice their existence.

If Su Chen had not obtained "Xiaoyaoyou" and knew that the immortals really existed, he began to pay special attention to spiritual materials and often used his extraordinary perception to explore what he encountered, he was afraid he would not know at all that he could actually find a small amount of spiritual materials between these mountains and wilderness.

The only thing he regrets is that these unintentional spiritual materials were too fragmented and fragile.

If the spiritual energy is too weak, the spiritual energy cannot be retained.

Su Chen once tried to make the sycamore wood a piece of spiritual ink, but after grinding it into powder, the spiritual energy inside actually collapsed and disappeared.

Several other spiritual materials such as small pieces of water spirit stones, but they are not a complete spiritual talisman system. They cannot be made into a spiritual talisman at all, and they are not of much use to him for the time being.

This surprised Su Chen, and there were a few more regrets.

"It's too difficult to collect these spiritual materials. How long does it take to collect a set of spiritual talisman tools? In the past, I often heard people in the world that Hanshan Zhenren rarely stayed in Taoist temples. The dragon was not seen at the head and tail, and liked to travel around to make friends with heroes from all over the world.

At that time, I always felt that the life of a real person was extremely leisurely. Now that I think about it carefully, it was not that at all. I was afraid I was very tired and ran around thousands of miles apart, busy collecting materials for talismans, so I didn’t have the time to go out for fun.

And I have to do this by myself. Others can’t see the spiritual materials and can’t help at all.”

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh.

If he had not experienced the hardships of obtaining spiritual materials in person, he would not have thought of the pain of Hanshan Zhenren running around all year round.

...

On this day, Su Chenfeng rushed to Lou County, a hundred miles away from Gusu County, and sent letters and a batch of cheap dried herbs to a pharmacy shop owner under the name of the Medicine King Gang.

Lou County is one of the thirteen counties in Wujun. It is a bit far from the bustling water business road of the Grand Canal, which transports the north and south. It is naturally not as lively and prosperous as the crowded crowds of Gusu County. It is much inferior and quieter and more peaceful.

After finishing this errand mission, Su Chen was about to return to Gusu City. Walking on a quiet old alley in Lou County, he accidentally saw an old-sized pen shop with a very old plaque.

This old pen shop is hidden in the corner of the old alley. If you are not careful, you will miss it and you will never notice it.

Su Chen came to Lou County several times, and this was the first time he noticed this inconspicuous old pen shop.

"Li's pen shop!"

"The ancestors have been passed down for five generations, and a century-old man!"

Su Chen looked at the plaque of the old pen shop and felt aroused.

"Ling Pen, Ling Ink, Ling Paper, Ling Ink" is the four major pieces of writing and drawing a spiritual talisman, but it is too difficult to collect it, almost all relying on luck. I don't know if this century-old pen shop has what he wants.

Su Chen did not go in immediately.

It would be fine to find spiritual materials in the wild mountains, but they would not be seen.

However, in such a store that is run by someone, he is still very cautious and cannot leave traces that can track himself down to avoid being targeted.

Su Chen turned to another street, found a corner of no one, changed into a linen long gown, put on a bamboo hat, lowered the edge of the hat, and then walked into this century-old pen shop.

This is not big, even a bit decaying old pen shop. In front of the counter, there is a middle-aged shop owner who is fiddling with an old abacus to calculate the incoming and out accounts of the past few days.

"Shopkeeper, can there be a talisman pen here?"

Su Chen used a hat to cover his face, preventing the shop owner from seeing his face clearly, and his voice became much deeper.

"Do you want the talisman pens used by Taoist priests? Our shop is the oldest pen shop in Lou County. It has been passed down from generation to generation and is best at making various pen tools, including various brushes used by scholars and scholars, talisman pens used by Taoist priests, and judge pens used by martial artists in the martial arts world. They are all furnished at the counters of small shops, and the guest officials can choose at will!"

The middle-aged shop owner asked casually without raising his head.

"oh!"

Su Chen nodded and walked through the counters several times.

The cabinet is filled with various talisman pens, which are very cheap. The worst-class ones only require ten copper plates, and the slightly better ones only have forty or fifty copper plates.

He looked carefully and was not satisfied.

Just looking at their categories and colors, they are some of the most common folk bamboos. The talisman pens made of rabbit hair, chicken hair, pig bristles, etc. are far from the spiritual pens he wants to find.

Ordinary people cannot tell whether this material is a spiritual material or not.

However, Su Chen has been exposed to a small amount of spiritual materials in the past six months. With more experience, he naturally has some points of his eyesight. Basically, he can see 30% of his confidence at a glance, and then touch it with his hand to completely determine whether it is a spiritual material.

Su Chen could easily see that the quality of these talisman pens at the counter was too far apart, not the spiritual pen he wanted.

The middle-aged shop owner saw Su Chen's eyes slightly picky and looked down on ordinary people, so he couldn't help but get interested.

He put down the abacus and account book, looked up and asked with a smile: "This young man is quite eye-catching. This talisman is not something that ordinary people use. Only Taoists can use it when drawing talismans. Could it be that the young man is a new brother of our White Lotus Sect, who is preparing to learn to draw the White Lotus Taoist Talisman?"

"Huh... the shopkeeper is also a Taoist priest in White Lotus?"

Su Chen was stunned by the shop owner's question.

He has been in the world for more than two years and often comes to Lou County to deliver letters and goods. Naturally, he knows that Lou County is the territory of the White Lotus Sect. The head of the White Lotus Sect is an island in Dianshan Lake in Lou County. It is quite influential in the world, but it is also low-key in dealing with things.

This White Lotus Sect believes in King Guangming and the Mother Wusheng, and is not popular with the government. It has always been mysterious and low-key in Wujun.

The Hanshan Taoist Temple outside Gusu City believes in the Three Pure Immortal Lords, which is the orthodox Taoist sect recognized by the Tang Dynasty court, and is naturally very different from the White Lotus Sect.

The 13 counties of Wujun are divided into all the five major gangs in Wujun.

Only in Lou County, the White Lotus Sect is the strongest local force. Its business is just as hard as oil and water.

With the strength of the five major gangs in Wujun, they cannot intervene, and any permanent branch will be eliminated by the White Lotus Sect. The Medicine King Gang can only operate a medicine shop here to sell medicinal materials, and cannot develop branch and disciples.

Even the Hanshan Taoist Temple, which is well-known in Wujun, does not have much appeal in Lou County.

Most people in Lou County believe in the White Lotus Sect and regard themselves as Taoist priests of the White Lotus.

The Medicine King Gang warned his disciples that when walking in Lou County, you must not offend the Taoist priests of the White Lotus Sect.

Su Chen has always been low-key and never deals with disciples of the White Lotus Sect. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel silent, without answering his yes, nor denying that he was not.

"Young man, don't be nervous. My family disciple of the White Lotus Sect often goes to the White Lotus Confession Hall in Dianshan Lake to follow Master Mao's Dundu's teachings!

The brothers of our White Lotus Sect are all family members, and often the brothers of the White Lotus Sect come to our store to buy talisman pens. What kind of talisman pens do you want, even if you say it is cheaper to sell them to you!"

The middle-aged shop owner may have thought that Su Chen was a young disciple who was more vigilant to join the White Lotus Sect, so he couldn't help but be kinder and quickly said.

"Shopkeeper, don't there be any better talisman pen?!"

Su Chen didn't want to talk about the White Lotus Sect more, so as not to reveal flaws.

The middle-aged store owner happily took out several boxes of high-end talisman pens from under the counter.

The materials and workmanship of these talisman pens are more exquisite, and are mostly made of red sandalwood, wolf hair and weasel hair. Of course, the price is much higher, ranging from five hundred copper plates to one tael of silver.

This is already the high price in the talisman pen.

After all, who is in Lou County who is full and can buy flowers for a month's income, and buy a talisman that can only draw Taoist talismans and has no other use?

Many of the disciples of the lower class of the White Lotus Sect are ordinary people, and most of them are not well-off and will not spend this in vain.

Su Chen held these talisman pens in his hand and used his perception to sense them, but there was no sense at all. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's still not possible, isn't there anything better?"

He was a little disappointed. It seemed that the so-called century-old pen shop in Lou County could not find the spiritual pen he wanted.

"I don't even look down on this level?"

The middle-aged store owner was surprised and couldn't help but ponder: "If you want to be better, then there is only the treasure of the small shop! But the price is quite expensive, can you afford it?"

"First take it to see if it is the talisman pen I want. The price is also mentioned. Even if the money is not enough now, I will save enough money in the future and come back to buy it."

Su Chendao.

"All right!"

The middle-aged store owner quickly took out a golden talisman pen from an old iron-locked wooden box under the cabinet and gave Su Chen a look.

This golden talisman pen is extremely exquisite. The pen holder is made of gold and stone, and the tip of the pen is a tuft of unknown golden animal hair.
