Chapter 3, turn your face away

What are you doing?" The old man in the green robe was taken aback, "Could it be that these few things have also become extinct?"

"This... I do not know what cultivation techniques are used." The old man in the green robe was taken aback. "I cannot cultivate these techniques, and moreover, one cannot discern how someone cultivates merely by their appearance; I cannot know how he cultivates."

"So foolish!" Wei Su rolled his eyes and said

"Are you an idiot!" The old man in the green robe finally lost his temper completely, "Do you know what is the most important thing in the cultivation world? It is experience! I have gone through so many generations of masters, how much experience do I have? You... you..."

The old man in the green robe was quite perplexed, "Turn your face?"

"You don't even know the cultivation methods, yet you still have the audacity to say that experience is the most important thing in the realm of cultivation"

"Have you become so foolish that your head is filled with water from my urine?" Wei Su was somewhat taken aback by this.

"Just give me a random prescription, let me see if you are really that sharp." Wei Suo, who had been deceived by the local bumpkin into losing thirteen low-grade spirit stones, was so poor that he was even considering going without underwear, and he immediately spoke with shining eyes.

I really can't take it anymore," Wei Su said, shaking his head as he fastened his belt

"Pretend, just pretend to be strong," Wei Suo said with a cold smile as he looked at the old man in the green robe. "Please turn your face away from the trouble and the picture book."

"Is that really the case? Then I will change it again. First-level fireball talisman, silver candle grass, fire tail flower, crushed to make talisman paper, using fire scorpion blood to draw the talisman, the runes are like this..."

What do you want? Ever since this ghost-raising jar was broken by my opponent in the hands of my fifty-sixth master, I have not come out. If you hadn't happened to damage the sealing runes while not destroying the array that provides me with spiritual energy, I wouldn't be able to emerge today. Let me think... it's been at least ten to twenty thousand years, right?

Really? The eyes of the old man in the green robe suddenly sparkled with golden light. It is important to note that alchemy and artifact forging are closely guarded secrets of major sects. In the entire Lingyue City, there are very few alchemists and artifact masters. If this old man truly possesses extensive knowledge of many alchemical formulas and forging techniques, then this time he would indeed strike it rich

The old man in the green robe was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into ecstatic laughter.

Green-haired old man, how long have you been stuck in this broken jar?

Indeed, since the first generation of my master forged me, it has been several tens of thousands of years; do you understand my significance now

Well, I just urinated, and you are too ugly; I can't even urinate looking at your face

I apologize, but if my memory and the records are correct, the Three-Night Flower has been extinct for three thousand years already said Weisuo with an expressionless face

I know many methods for alchemy and the crafting of talismans and magical artifacts The old man in the green robe was on the verge of tears

After the heavy rain outside, the air is fresh. In the distance, a few wild cats run across the rooftops, and numerous silver wild grasses sway gently in the wind

Of course it is true, one could say, in the midst of fate, this lowest-tier magical artifact of mine, a seemingly useless item, has coincidentally ushered in the most glorious era. I will surely be recorded in history, becoming a legend in the realm of cultivation. Damn! You!" The old man in the green robe raised his hands to the sky, filled with immense excitement and grandeur, but before he could finish speaking, a stream of urine came pouring down on him.

Old Ghost, the three things you mentioned, aside from the Fire Scorpion which is somewhat challenging, the other two are everywhere on the streets. If these three things could produce a Fire Talisman, then I might as well buy a duck egg and hatch a hen, right? Let's be straightforward, turn your face away.

It is impossible not to be sharp! The old man in the green robe puffed out his chest, "I understand now, the Three-Night Flower went extinct three thousand years ago, and the Silver Candle Flower was still rare ten thousand years ago, but now it is abundant. This is because time has passed too long, and everything has changed! Are there still Iron Wire Grasses? Are there still Glazed Fruits? Are they plentiful? The Fire Earth Dragon hasn't gone extinct, has it? There are many, right?"

If hanging oneself were an option, the old man in the green robe would have done it long ago. What exactly do you mean? Even if you want to humiliate me again, at least let me understand it clearly

"I have seen many things, but I have never seen anyone as ignorant as you!" The old man in the green robe was nearly driven mad with anger. "The Ghost Raising Jar itself is not a particularly powerful treasure; what is truly formidable is me. Do you have any idea how many things I have seen and learned over these tens of thousands of years? As early as twenty thousand years ago, I was already a treasure that many sought to seize. You, you, you..."

As for the rune, I see no need for it. Wei Suo began to loosen his belt again

"Alright, I will make you understand clearly." Weisuo looked at the old man in the green robe with a gaze of disbelief and suddenly pushed the window open.

Green-haired old man, do you still want to pretend? Are you saying that your talisman is real?

You still do not understand. Are the cultivation methods of the Daoist world from tens of thousands of years ago the same as those of today? They are not the same. The old man in the green robe, however, did not lose his temper; instead, he spoke hurriedly, "The tides of time have changed, and the affairs of the world have transformed. The cultivation methods and alchemical formulas in the Daoist world have undergone countless evolutions over these tens of thousands of years. Cultivators from tens of thousands of years ago relied on the spiritual veins of heaven and earth for their cultivation, while later cultivators mostly relied on spiritual herbs and demon pills. I obtained this alchemical formula from a small sect at that time, which was not very useful back then because the Silver Candle Flower and Fire Tail Flower were quite rare. However, now, these two items seem to be growing everywhere."

Indeed! In Wei Suo's eyes, a golden light suddenly burst forth. "Green-haired old man, it seems you must know a lot of techniques. Quickly tell me a few techniques; no need for the extremely powerful ones, as I probably won't be able to learn them. Just a little better than the Heavenly Dao True Solution of the Heavenly Dao Sect will suffice."

"You say silver candle grass is quite rare?" Wei Su moved a stool and looked at the old man in the green robe, "Green-haired old ghost, your acting skills are quite good. That bumpkin you tricked today, you learned that from me, didn't you?"

I understand! Hahaha

What exactly are you saying? Although the silver candle grass is somewhat rare, there is absolutely no possibility that this talisman has any issues. When my master was refining this talisman, he discovered that the blood of the fire scorpion could provide me with nourishment

"Big brother, what must I do for you to believe me?" The old man in the green robe was utterly speechless. "What I said about the talisman is truly real. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. If what I said is false, then throw me into the cesspit and let me soak there for ten thousand years"

"Old green-haired man, are you deliberately trying to deceive me into drinking scorpion blood? Do you think that by drinking it, you can restore your vitality? Do you think you can deal with me? Do you really take me for a fool? If you want to trick me, at least come up with a better story, alright?"

Wait a moment, green-haired old man, what are you saying? Tens of thousands of years?

Once I give you a prescription, you will have to obediently ask me for whatever I want to drink. The old man in the green robe thought bitterly for a moment, realizing that with the intelligence of the person before him, anything too complex or profound would be beyond their understanding. Thus, the old man in the green robe recalled the simplest prescription in his mind: "Returning Qi Powder, with a ratio of three parts Xiao Lu Grass, four parts San Ye Flower, and three parts Huo Ju Root, it can be easily refined."

"No way?" The old man in the green robe had his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg. The wild grass that was vigorously growing in the crevices of the roof stones, with stems resembling small mallets, was nothing less than genuine silver candle grass.

Really? Wei Su pointed at the few paintings of beautiful women hanging by the bedside, "Green-haired old man, quickly tell me, how does this beauty compare to the beauties from tens of thousands of years ago? What was your dual cultivation technique like back then?"
