Chapter 1462: Chapter 1462: Exorbitant Taoist Talisman
"My na is Wyatt Barnes."
Wyatt said with a smile.
"You... you are Wyatt Barnes?!"
Hearing Wyatt’s response, the elderly man was montarily stunned, then quickly looked at Wyatt’s waist. When he saw the external disciple token hanging there, his eyes lit up. "You’re the external disciple who killed an Earth List expert in the life-and-death duel in the external area yesterday?"
"The elder has heard about it too?"
Wyatt smiled slightly, indirectly admitting it.
"Good, good... outstanding Martial Dao talent, and yet so polite. Truly a rare find."
The old man showed a kind expression on his face.
"You’re too kind, elder."
Wyatt replied humbly with a smile.
"My na is Jerry Garcia. If you have anything you need in the future, feel free to co to
here at the Hall of rit... if I’m not on duty, you can find
in the Inner Sect. If it’s within my ability, I will definitely help."
The elder said with a warm smile.
"Thank you for your generous offer, Elder Garcia."
Wyatt hadn’t expected such a promise from the elder, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude, his heart filled with warmth.
After all, he had rely greeted the elder out of politeness.
After exchanging another round of pleasantries with the elder, Wyatt left the second level of the Hall of rit and headed to the third.
Arriving at the third level of the Hall of rit, Wyatt saw that there was a counter at the entrance, similar to the one on the second level.
Behind the counter sat two middle-aged n, evidently the managers of the third level of the Hall of rit.
Feeling their spiritual strength, Wyatt could tell their abilities were far inferior to Jerry Garcia from the second level.
"These two are probably on par with external elders... likely either external elders or inner stewards."
Wyatt vaguely guessed their identity.
"Leave your storage ring here and go in."
One of the middle-aged n glanced at Wyatt and said indifferently.
Wyatt nodded, placed his storage ring down, and walked into the third level of the Hall of rit.
Upon entering the third level, Wyatt looked around and was slightly moved... because inside the third level, there were three distinctly divided areas, each filled with a multitude of valuable goods.
The three areas were respectively the Pill dicine area, Spiritual Artifact area, and Taoist Talisman area.
Wyatt first went to the Pill dicine area, gathering a number of ’Three-Star Healing Pills’ and ’Three-Star Sensing Pills.’ Additionally, he bought so extrely pricey Four-Star Saint Realm Pills.
The rit points he spent caused him so heartache.
A single Four-Star Saint Realm Pill cost at least ten thousand rit points.
Despite feeling the pain, Wyatt wasn’t surprised.
According to what he knew, the best alchemist in the Moon Radiance Sect was only a Three-Star Saint Refiner who could at most craft Three-Star Saint Realm Pills.
The rarer Four-Star Saint Realm Pills were acquired by the Moon Radiance Sect through other ans at considerable cost, hence their hefty price tag.
The pile of pills Wyatt purchased amounted to nearly two hundred thousand rit points.
Leaving the Pill dicine area, Wyatt entered the Spiritual Artifact area, only to find that a majority of the artifacts were Earth-grade and mostly inscribed with ’Saint Markings.’
Of course, the price varied depending on the Saint Markings inscribed.
Spiritual artifacts without Saint Markings were naturally the cheapest.
Artifacts engraved with basic One-Star Saint Markings were slightly more expensive;
Those with better-quality One-Star Saint Markings were even pricier;
And those inscribed with multiple One-Star Saint Markings were yet more expensive.
However, these artifacts paled in comparison to those bearing Two-Star Saint Markings.
Even Two-Star Saint Markings were categorized into varying levels of quality.
Here, Wyatt saw many Earth-grade spiritual artifacts comparable to the ’Gale Hamr’ and ’Weighty Sword,’ and even artifacts superior to them—bearing two or more Two-Star Saint Markings.
Naturally, their price was also exorbitant.
So of the pricier ones cost nearly a million rit points.
"Spiritual artifacts really are money pits... Anyway, I have the ’Sunshot Bow’ and the ’Weighty Sword’ I took from Sail Fenning, so I don’t need to buy any additional spiritual artifacts for now."
Wyatt clicked his tongue in disdain and left the Spiritual Artifact area to explore the Taoist Talisman area.
The Taoist Talisman area specialized in selling talismans.
Each type of talisman was accompanied by detailed explanatory text.
"Two-Star Golden Energy Talisman—once activated, it forms a layer of golden energy defense over the user’s body for the duration of one quarter-hour. It can withstand attacks from Martial Artists and Taoist Cultivators at the late Entering the Saint Realm stage or below, but can be breached by Martial Artists or Taoist Cultivators at the peak of the Saint Realm stage and above."
Noticing the description of one talisman, Wyatt clicked his tongue in amazent.
With this talisman, even an ordinary person could survive the attacks of late-stage Saint Realm Martial Artists and Taoist Cultivators for a short quarter-hour, remaining completely unhard.
"This is definitely a treasure."
Wyatt’s eyes lit up as he turned to check the price of the Two-Star Golden Energy Talisman.
"Twenty thousand rit points?"
Upon seeing the price, Wyatt’s mouth twisted involuntarily. "A single-use talisman costing twenty thousand rit points? They’re not selling things—they’re robbing people!"
Only now did Wyatt truly understand why people said ’Talisman Makers’ were one of the two most money-hoarding professions in the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
The other being ’Saint Marking Inscribers.’
As he browsed through the Taoist Talisman area, one talisman after another appeared before Wyatt’s eyes.
Their descriptions entered his vision one by one, leaving Wyatt montarily dazzled.
"Two-Star Divine Travel Talisman—once activated, it boosts the user’s speed to rival that of late-stage Saint Realm Martial Artists or Taoist Cultivators for one quarter-hour."
The Divine Travel Talisman was primarily used as a life-saving asure.
Aside from Two-Star Divine Travel Talismans, the third level of the Hall of rit also had nurous ’One-Star Divine Travel Talismans,’ but only a handful of ’Three-Star Divine Travel Talismans.’
One-Star Divine Travel Talisman—once activated, it boosts the user’s speed to rival that of early-stage Saint Realm Martial Artists or Taoist Cultivators for one quarter-hour.
Three-Star Divine Travel Talisman—once activated, it boosts the user’s speed to rival that of peak Saint Realm Martial Artists or Taoist Cultivators for one quarter-hour.
"Peak Saint Realm speed?"
Wyatt’s eyes glead with excitent. "I must buy a few of these talismans for personal safety."
Only, after seeing the price of the Three-Star Divine Travel Talisman, Wyatt seed as though he had been doused with cold water, his enthusiasm entirely extinguished. "Thir... thirty thousand rit points? This is outright robbery!"
Wyatt couldn’t help but mutter a curse.
Despite grumbling, Wyatt picked up a Three-Star Divine Travel Talisman. Even though it hurt, this was undeniably a valuable item.
It might even save his life in a critical mont.
"Another thirty thousand rit points gone... coupled with that pile of Saint Realm Pills, that’s fifty thousand rit points."
Wyatt finally felt the sting of ’spending money like water.’ For a mont, he even regretted his generous offer yesterday to return half the bet to all those external stewards and disciples.
Of course, that regretful thought was quickly suppressed.
What’s done was done.
On second thought, those actions might actually benefit him in so way—at the very least it earned him goodwill in the external area.
"Then there’s this Three-Star Golden Energy Talisman, capable of defending against peak Saint Realm Martial Artists and Taoist Cultivators’ attacks for a quarter-hour... twenty thousand rit points. Though cheaper than the Three-Star Divine Travel Talisman, it’s still ridiculously priced."
Wyatt couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Three-Star Taoist Talismans indeed commanded high prices.
Among them, the Golden Energy Talismans, being defensive items, were less expensive than the Divine Travel Talismans.
Not just that—the price difference between the Two-Star Golden Energy Talisman and the Three-Star Divine Travel Talisman was a full ten thousand rit points.
A Two-Star Golden Energy Talisman cost twenty thousand rit points.
A Two-Star Divine Travel Talisman cost thirty thousand rit points.
"One-Star Taoist Talismans are still quite affordable, only costing two or three thousand rit points... but the effects are diocre. Aside from the One-Star Divine Travel Talisman, which boosts speed to rival early-stage Saint Realm Martial Artists or Taoist Cultivators, the One-Star Golden Energy Talisman can only defend against attacks from early-stage Saint Realm Martial Artists or Taoist Cultivators."
To Wyatt, those One-Star Taoist Talismans held little value.
Defense talismans, speed talismans—and naturally attack talismans.
The attack talismans ca in an assortnt of varieties, and Wyatt found himself dazzled by the selection.
But soon, Wyatt confird one thing.
That was—the attack talismans were even pricier than the Divine Travel Talismans, with only Two-Star attack talismans available for sale; there weren’t any Three-Star ones.
Two-Star attack talismans—once activated, they could unleash an attack comparable to late-stage Saint Realm Martial Artists or Taoist Cultivators.
Martial Artists and Taoist Cultivators below the late stage of the Saint Realm, unless extrely gifted enough to fight across levels, would be gravely injured, if not killed outright, upon being struck by the Two-Star attack talisman.
"The price of a Two-Star attack talisman is the sa as a Three-Star Golden Energy Talisman... outrageous."
Wyatt clicked his tongue repeatedly.
Nonetheless, Wyatt took a Two-Star attack talisman, intending to purchase one.
After a short while, Wyatt had chosen items worth a total of seven hundred thousand rit points in the third level of the Hall of rit.
Fortunately, there was no one else present in the third level, or soone would undoubtedly be left awestruck and envious.
However, when Wyatt brought these items to the entrance of the third level to settle the bill, even the two Inner Sect stewards were left dumbfounded.
"You... you’re sure you want to buy all this?"
One of the Inner Sect stewards asked in disbelief.
He had to ask.
Even for Inner Sect disciples, such a level of extravagance was unheard of.
Let alone this young man wearing an external disciple token on his waist—clearly just an external disciple.
"Swipe the card."
Wyatt spoke indifferently, making a seven hundred thousand rit point transaction from the crystal panel. As the points deducted, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
Upon witnessing seven hundred thousand rit points credited to the account, the two Inner Sect stewards exchanged bewildered glances, each seeing inexplicable shock mirrored in the other’s eyes.
Since when were external disciples so... wealthy?
