Chapter 69: Manager Hou’s Request
"Hehe, Xiao San is currently busy in the main hall, so I brought these over for him.” Manager Hou exclaimed with a friendly smile.
"Oh, thanks for the trouble, Manager Hou.” Shen Luo did not feel surprised by Manager Hou’s appearance, just as he reached out to take the wooden plate, he was prevented by Manager Hou.
"Master Shen is a distinguished guest, how can we let you do this yourself.” Manager Hou said, positioning the food on the table neatly, then stood aside, waiting to collect the bowl.
Shen Luo was already hungry, so he didn’t bother going through the formalities, quickly finishing the food. After wiping his face, he picked up the yellow paper, cinnabar, dog blood, and other things from the wooden plate. After giving them a quick glance, he noticed many things he hadn’t recognized before.
The crimson cinnabar contained traces of fiery Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, the black dog’s blood bore a type of positive energy similar to Yang Gang Qi, and though the talisman paper didn’t contain similar vital energy, it gave a sense of being rich in substance, unlike ordinary paper.
Although the spiritual Qi contained within the cinnabar was extremely weak, the Yang Qi in the black dog blood was also quite thin, the quality of the talisman paper was not high, there were quite a few broken points on the surface. These materials can barely be used to make low-level talismans like Small Thunder Talisman. If they are to be used to create more advanced talismans in the future, I’m afraid it would be somewhat difficult.
"These materials are all used for talisman inscription by the Taoist priests. Master, could it be that you are proficient in this Dao?” After putting away the bowls and chopsticks, Manager Hou asked tentatively without leaving.
"I wouldn’t dare to say proficient, I know a bit or two.” Shen Luo put down a box of cinnabar in his hand, responding casually.
"Master can draw talismans? I have a parchment here. Could Master help me draw it? I am willing to thank you with a heavy reward,” said Mr. Hou, his face lighting up, immediately pleaded.
