Chapter 4116 Name Your Price

Seeing that old man's bunch of unequal treaties just now made me furious. I should have learned my lesson; I was going to have to face the consequences sooner or later. Why did I have to get beaten up like this? I feel like I don't even have my own backside anymore.

When he saw that I had taken out the money and the two bags of medicine, Old Li's eyes lit up at the sight of money.

He first put away the two bank cards and the medicine packet, and then a smile appeared on his face.

He walked towards me and reached out his hand. I jumped in fright and tried to dodge, thinking he was going to hit me again.

However, no, the old man grabbed my arm and helped me up from the ground. He even carefully patted the dust off my clothes and said with a smile, "Good disciple, did Master hit you too hard? Master apologizes, don't be angry, Master won't hit you again."

Now, looking at this old man's smiling face, I feel a little creeped out, as if he's plotting something.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, Master. I've given you all the money. I don't have a single penny left. Master, I've been losing a lot of fights lately. Do you have any amazing skills you could teach me? I don't want to embarrass you when I travel the world, right?" I said with a smile.

Anyway, the money is gone. I hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the 1.5 million I had just earned before it was gone. If he could teach me some tricks, I would feel a little better.

"Sigh, my apprentice has grown up. It's time to teach him more skills. Would you like to learn how to draw talismans in mid-air?" Old Li looked at me.

"I want to learn, Master must be teaching me good things." I agreed without thinking.

"What's the use of drawing talismans in mid-air?" I asked quickly.

“Drawing talismans in mid-air is a very profound cultivation technique. It can create many talismans, which can be used to draw void barriers or transform into talisman swords to defend against enemies. For now, I will teach you these two methods of drawing talismans in mid-air. You can learn them slowly first,” Old Li said with a smile.

"Master, why don't you teach me more? It's too much trouble to teach you little by little." I was a bit unhappy.

"It's not that your master is unwilling to teach you, it's just that your current cultivation level is not high enough to reach the realm of cultivating higher methods. It would be useless to learn now, as the destructive power would not be sufficient." Old Li smiled meaningfully, and I could tell that he meant that he would only teach me the rest after I had earned more tuition fees.

As he spoke, Old Li waved his hand, his fingers moving rapidly through the air, instantly conjuring a void talisman.

The void rune floated in mid-air, forming a transparent barrier that rippled like water.

"You try, kid, see if you can break through this barrier."

Old Li called out, and I immediately drew my Victory Sword and slashed fiercely at the void barrier.

I used at least 80% of my strength in this sword strike, but instead of shattering the void barrier, I was forced back several steps by a huge rebound force.

"How was it? Pretty impressive, huh?" Old Li looked at me with a smile.

"Amazing, Master is truly awesome!" I was very happy; these few small goals had finally paid off.

Then, Old Li waved his hand and drew a talisman in mid-air again. The talisman immediately turned into a golden light and crashed straight into the void barrier.

The golden light struck the void barrier, producing a tremendous sonic boom. The golden light and the void rune vanished into nothingness simultaneously.

The enormous sonic boom shattered all the windows in the room, scattering debris everywhere.

Everyone present was startled, and my eardrums instantly started ringing.

This move is truly formidable.

Of course, this was a technique my master used. Even if I learned it, I probably wouldn't have such power.

"Master, this is all money! Please don't break the glass!" Uncle Tiger said with heartache.

"You brat, did you see that? This technique of drawing talismans in mid-air is very useful. This void barrier can intercept enemies, buy you time to escape, and also block their attacks. As for the power of those talisman arrows, they won't be any less powerful than your hidden talisman daggers." Old Li was very proud of himself.

I kept nodding, thinking that it was a worthwhile investment and that this trick would definitely come in handy in the future.

After telling me about this, Old Li's gaze immediately fell on the slovenly Taoist priest and his companions.

He walked straight toward them with his hands behind his back.

"Senior Li, we were just eavesdropping, we shouldn't get beaten up, right? We didn't hear anything, right?" The slovenly Taoist priest panicked and kept blinking at the people behind him.

They all nodded and echoed each other, but it was of no use.

"Don't be afraid. I only discipline my own disciples. You haven't done anything wrong, so I won't hit you..."

At this point, Old Li changed the subject and continued, "By the way, Xiao Jie just reminded me that I saved you in the Netherworld. Shouldn't you do something to show your appreciation?"

"Senior Li, I didn't..."

The slovenly Taoist priest opened his mouth to argue, but Old Li slapped him across the face, sending the priest flying into the air and hanging directly on the courtyard wall.

Upon seeing this, everyone else trembled with fear.

Zhang Qing'an immediately stepped forward and said with righteous indignation, "Senior Li, I think this money should be given. If it weren't for you saving us, we would have died in that Netherworld long ago. Name your price."

"You're the one who knows what's good for you. I won't ask for more. Each of you will contribute thirty million, and we'll call it even." Old Li waved his hand generously.

"Yes, I have one. I happen to have a card with 30 million in it. Please keep it safe, old man." Zhang Qing'an respectfully handed over the bank card with both hands.

I must say, Zhang Qing'an was quite perceptive. He knew that my master was the kind of person who would really take action. If I didn't hand over the money, I would definitely get beaten up, so it was better to hand it over voluntarily.

He's so old, it wouldn't look good if my master spanked him.

My master didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.

The others exchanged glances and quickly handed over the thirty million to Old Li.

The disheveled Taoist priest, who was hung on the wall, still handed over all the money, even though he had been beaten.

We have no idea what Old Li needs so much money for. It's enough to support a young widow, or even to open several nursing homes.

After collecting everyone's money, Old Li was very happy and immediately said to me, "Little Jie, there's nothing to do tomorrow. I'll teach you the method of drawing talismans in the void."
