The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

After seeing Matthew agree, the faces of the three of them showed joy.

"It's great that Brother Li can join us. Let's set off in five days." He Yi laughed.

"No problem, I'll be waiting for you here in the morning five days later." Matthew nodded.

After Matthew chose to join them, the relationship between the several people seemed to have become closer, and they were talking and laughing in the private room.

A few hours later, the four of them came out of the private room together.

After Matthew said goodbye to the three of them, he walked towards the inn.

"Is this Fellow Daoist Li reliable? He seems to be very young." Cui Ping said after Matthew disappeared on the street.

"Whether he is young or old, this person's cultivation is truly in the middle stage of foundation building." Meng Rui responded softly.

"Yes, we were forced to come here. After Xu Daoyou's troops were dismissed, there was no one we knew well here, so we had no choice but to choose him." He Yi shook his head and said.

"Well, I hope his cultivation is not achieved by stacking pills." Now that the matter has been decided, Cui Ping is just grumbling.

On the way to the inn, Matthew stopped after passing a shop, turned around and walked in.

There are only two words written on the sign at the door of this store, Magic Circle.

When he passed by this store before, Matthew didn't pay much attention.

Just recalling the scene of using the eight-door golden light array to kill Huang Ling and the Four Evils, Matthew felt that it would be more appropriate to purchase another array.

"Sir, our store sells various magic circles. What kind of effect do you want?" As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper with two small beards greeted him enthusiastically.

"I want to buy a defensive array." Matthew said.

The eight-door golden light array is an offensive array. If it is combined with a defensive array, the effect will definitely be better.

"Yes, please come with me over here." The shopkeeper nodded and greeted Matthew to the side.

When he came to the counter, the shopkeeper took out a thick book and placed it in front of Matthew.

"Iron cable formation, shield gate formation..."

After opening the booklet, the shopkeeper introduced the magic circles on it to Matthew one by one.

Although they were all defensive formations, Matthew looked down on them.

The magic formation introduced by the shopkeeper only had four formation flags at most. Although he didn't know much about the magic formation, he also knew that the fewer the formation flags, the weaker the power of the magic formation.

"They are all ordinary goods. Doesn't your store have decent arrays?" Matthew said with a look of dissatisfaction after reading the introduction of more than a dozen sets of arrays.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he moved his hands for a moment, looked up at Matthew, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the guest officer is a good magic circle, so you should tell me earlier."

After speaking, he took out a much thinner book from under the counter.

"Water Wave Formation, a sixteen-pole formation flag, which requires medium-grade spiritual stones to use. It can withstand the full attack of the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen monks for at least three hours. The price is two thousand spiritual stones per set."

"The formation is made of thick earth and has sixteen formation flags. It requires medium-grade spiritual stones to be used. It can withstand the full attack of the Foundation-Building Dzogchen monks for at least five hours. The price is three thousand spiritual stones per set."

......

The prices of the arrays introduced by the shopkeeper were a few hundred spirit stones per set. When he took out the second booklet, the price immediately soared to several thousand spirit stones.

The shopkeeper only introduced a few sets and then stopped.

Matthew knew that the other party wanted to know whether he had the ability to buy it.

With his current financial resources, it would be difficult to purchase a more powerful magic circle, unless he was willing to exchange many of his elixirs for spiritual stones.

Matthew would not do such an almost stupid thing.

After pondering for a while, Matthew said: "I want a set of thick earth mountain array and a set of light binding array, whichever is the lowest price."

"The Thick Earth Mountain Formation costs three thousand spirit stones, and the Light Binding Formation costs five hundred spirit stones. If you want both sets together, I'll give you three thousand three hundred spirit stones." The shopkeeper stroked his mustache. smiled.

"It's expensive." Matthew shook his head and said after hearing the quotation.

"Sir, the price is absolutely fair. Our store has been on Black Turtle Island for nearly a hundred years. You can definitely rest assured..."

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Matthew had already turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that the businessmen who came to the door were about to run away, some shopkeepers shouted anxiously.

"My guest, please stay."

"Just tell me the lowest price. I don't have time to chat with you here." Matthew said calmly after stopping.

After a cup of tea, Matthew walked out of the shop.

After some haggling, he finally bought two sets of magic circles for the price of [-] spirit stones.

The light binding formation was given to him for free.

Matthew is quite satisfied with this result.

Back at the inn, Matthew took out all the formation flags. After getting familiar with them, he used liquefied iron essence to temper the formation flags in his hand.

After doing these things, two days have passed.

There are only three days left before the appointment.

Matthew did not waste these three days. He began to draw talismans in the room.

Those elementary talismans are of little use anymore, Matthew wants to draw the intermediate talismans.
