Chapter 2328: 1084, Triple-striped Talisman
The Jade Talisman Pavilion in Jinling City was completely different from the one in Phoenix Cry City.
A six-story building with a broad expanse of land, clad in green jade, it radiated a gentle luster of jade, giving one a warm feeling at heart.
This six-story building was where the Jade Talisman Pavilion sold its talismans, and there was always at least one Talisman Master in residence.
Behind the tall building laid a series of pavilions, each one the dwelling of a renowned Talisman Master.
These Talisman Masters usually cultivated at their residences, and when it was their turn to preside over the Jade Talisman Pavilion, they would go to the third floor to refine talismans.
They would craft the talismans in public within the Jade Talisman Pavilion and then sell them.
...
This public talisman crafting was more of a display of strength.
Some Talisman Masters would preside over the Jade Talisman Pavilion for two or three days, and some would even sit for a month or even longer.
The Jade Talisman Pavilion attracted numerous cultivators by showcasing talisman crafting from a variety of Talisman Masters, who almost never repeated their displays over the course of a few years.
Especially those Talisman Masters who were famous throughout the Jade Talisman Pavilion and even the entire Jinling City, once they took their seats in the Jade Talisman Pavilion, cultivators from all over would come to seek talismans, filling the entire pavilion.
The Talisman Master to greet Han Muye was called Yu Tang, and he was also a well-known Talisman Master in the Jade Talisan Pavilion.
While leading Han Muye and his group, Talisman Master Yu Tang described the sights within Jinling City and the rules within the Jade Talisman Pavilion.
“Fellow Daoist Han, with your talisman crafting abilities, a place has already been prepared for you in the Jade Talisman Pavilion in Jinling City,” Talisman Master Yu Tang turned to Han Muye and said with a smile.
Han Muye’s talismans had been seen quite often in the Jade Talisman Pavilion, as he would refine them and then turn them over to the Pavilion for sale.
His talisman crafting skills had also been recognized by many Talisman Masters in the Jade Talisman Pavilion.
Following Talisman Master Yu Tang, Han Muye arrived at the Jade Talisman Pavilion.
The six-story building, with a jade hue slipping through and runes flowing, cast an enigmatic look in the eyes of Wu Quan and other disciples of the Nine Mysteries Dao.
Even Yun Lang Daoist standing aside showed a few more shades of sentiment in his expression.
This jade pavilion was clearly a treasure handed down from ancient times, which must have possessed an extremely strong power in the past but now served only as a pavilion.
Seeing this pavilion, Han Muye thought of the Nine Mystic Sword Pavilion.
Entering the Jade Talisman Pavilion, one could see that it was expansive, seemingly extended by spatial power.
However, this was just an illusion; in the Land of Truth, the thought of controlling spatial power was unimaginably powerful.
Currently, the Jade Talisman Pavilion was submerged in tranquility, despite every floor of the pavilion being crowded with people.
All eyes were focused on the great hall in the middle, where a spectral play of light and shadow displayed the figure of one who was in the midst of refining a jade token.
“That’s Talisman Master Xiong Ceng,” Yu Tang said in a low voice, pointing towards the light and shadow.
Han Muye directed his gaze to the light and shadow, observing the white-robed, long-bearded elder who was seriously and intently engraving talismans.
The green jade token before the elder was almost taking shape, with mysterious powers interweaving within it.
“Green Vine Spirit Talisman,” Han Muye murmured softly.
This talisman was similar to the Binding Talismans of the cultivation world, but unlike them, the Green Vine Spirit Talisman could be used for a long time and also retract its power into a green vine cane.
Such talismans were not something that the average cultivator at the fifth level of the Rebirth Realm could use; they were mostly carried by cultivators at the seventh or eighth levels.
Talismans of this caliber, known as Soul Jade Talismans, were the rudimentary form of those weapons imbued with runes.
“Good vision, is this fellow Daoist also a Talisman Master?” the gray-robed Daoist standing nearby turned to look at Han Muye and asked with a smile.
Han Muye smiled and nodded as a gesture, then remained silent.

In everyone’s gaze, the talisman transformed, runes drifted, and slowly solidified into a piece of green jade token.
It was complete.
Once a talisman took shape, someone would step forward to take it away.
Moments later, a clamor rose from the third floor, and soon after, it spread that the jade token had been sold for thirty thousand Source Stones.
Such a jade token, worth thirty thousand Source Stones.
Truly a fortune.
However, Han Muye knew that crafting such talismans was no easy task, one could not do it without their soul power having reached the Soul Hidden Boundary.
Moreover, the skill level required for talisman craftsmanship was extremely high.
According to the conversations of the cultivators nearby, there were only a little more than ten Talisman Masters in the whole Jade Talisman Pavilion who could craft talismans of this level.
The Soul Jade Talisman was difficult to craft, and a Talisman Master wouldn’t craft many in one day, so as not to deplete too much of their soul.
Especially those cultivators who had awakened from ancient times, though their soul strength was colossal, they almost couldn’t recover their soul consumption through cultivation because they were incompatible with today’s power of heaven and earth.
That meant every bit of soul energy spent could only be replenished with precious pills or treasures – there were no other means of recovery.
This was also why people like Yun Lang Daoist were reluctant to expend too much soul strength in battles.
Even with substantial soul strength, one couldn’t afford to deplete it recklessly.
Taking advantage of the moment Talisman Master Xiong Ceng had finished crafting, Yu Tang brought Han Muye to the third floor.
“Haha, I’ve long heard of Fellow Daoist Han Muye from Nine Mystic Mountain, it’s great that you could visit the Jade Talisman Pavilion.”
The tall and imposing Talisman Master Xiong Ceng had a face full of smiles.
“Come now, everyone, this Fellow Daoist Han crafts extremely exquisite talismans. Those of you who have needs, please request Fellow Daoist Han to craft them.”
Xiong Ceng then turned to look at the cultivators scattered around the third floor.
His words caused these cultivators to all look up at Han Muye, yet for a time, none of them spoke up.
These people had been competing for the talismans produced by Xiong Ceng and were staying there with the hope of requesting talisman crafting from him.
As for entrusting the crafting to someone else, especially to a person whose name they had never heard before, no one was willing.
Talisman crafting, especially commissioned ones, meant paying some Source Stones as a deposit even if the crafting turned out to be unsuccessful.
“Cough cough, Fellow Daoist Han’s talismans have been for sale in our Jade Talisman Pavilion for many years now,” Yu Tang had to speak up upon seeing that no one wished to request Han Muye to craft talismans.
If no one requested Han Muye’s services that day, wouldn’t it be awkward?
Hearing Talisman Master Yu Tang speak, a young man in black armor stepped forward and gave Han Muye a salute.
“Talisman Master Han, I wish to purchase a Three-patterned Cyan Armor Talisman.”
The three-striped talisman was the level just below the Soul Jade Talisman, already capable of forming an illusory form.
But then again, it made sense that the cultivators who came here today to request talismans were neither interested in cultivation abilities nor wealth, and none of them cared for low-level talismans.
“Three-striped talisman?” Yu Tang frowned slightly and looked at Han Muye.
He had seen other talismans crafted by Han Muye, but they were all single or double striped with simple attributes and he did not know whether Han Muye could craft a three-striped talisman.
In fact, such talisman purchase requests were usually selected by the Talisman Master from among dozens or even hundreds based on their area of expertise. Requests for a single designated Talisman Master to craft like today, were very rare.
“Three-patterned Cyan Armor Talisman?” Han Muye remained composed and nodded, “I can craft that talisman.”
“However, my fee for crafting talismans is likely going to be higher by two tenths.”
Higher by a fifth?
His statement took those around him aback.
The black-armored young man laughed heartily and said loudly, “As long as Talisman Master Han can craft it, it doesn’t matter if the price is a fifth higher, or even fifty percent more.”
