Zhao Sheng felt relieved and showed a hint of apology, "It seems I have misunderstood Mr. Wei. Hmm, I will accept this talisman. How many spirit stones do you want for it?"
Actually, first-order talismans themselves are not expensive; what's costly is the method of refining them.
Mr. Wei rubbed his hands joyfully and tentatively asked, "How about one thousand spirit stones?"
Zhao Sheng curtly said, "That's a bit expensive."
Wei Youquan's face stiffened, and he exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Not at all expensive. This Blood Refining Talisman is not comparable to those ordinary first-order talismans—it can condense essence blood, you know."
This essence blood, for us cultivators, is really a case of 'use one drop, lose one drop.'
Not to mention those fellow Daoists who follow the path of body refinement—think about sacrificial refining of blood artifacts, amplifying the power of talismans, feeding spiritual insects. Which of these can do without essence blood?"
