2263 Switch Your Wager
Qiao Mu glanced at Jiang Hong, not understanding why the latter was fuming mad.
Didn't she just say that drawing a yellow talisman in two hours wasted too much time? Did she jab this Great Master Jiang Hong's sore spot?
"Alright." Qiao Mu reluctantly said, "Two hours it is."
She could just draw faster. In any case, the contest would be decided whenever someone finished drawing. There was no need to be nitpicking with her!
Jiang Hong said solemnly, "Since it is a contest, we naturally should be wagering something."
After saying this, she took out 24 jade talismans from her sleeve. She injected them with spiritual energy, making them light up.
Everybody let out surprised gasps.
Jiang Hong dismissed everyone's fervent gazes and explained, "This yellow-rank defensive talisman matrix consisting of 24 jade talismans is worlds apart from the previous defensive talisman matrix, which was formed with paper talismans."
"They're jade talismans!!" Everybody's gazes were burning up as they stared at the jade talisman matrix.
"Jade talismans can be used for the entirety of one's lifetime as long as they are not destroyed. If you go to the Talisman Practitioner Association regularly and request for them to be injected with talisman energy, you can use them long term."
The whole place let out surprised gasps at this statement.
Jiaqing Academy's fire spirit specialty mentor also stared at the jade talismans fervently. "Are you selling this jade talisman matrix?"
"This is my wager!" Jiang Hong proudly proclaimed.
Yet Qiao Mu waved her petite hand vigorously in distaste. "I don't want that. Switch your wager!"
Everyone: …
They suddenly really wanted to thrash this little lady to death!
Mo Lian chortled as he looked at his wifey with a smile. His gaze was so devoted, as if the land and time had stopped at that moment.
The fire spirit specialty mentor suddenly took out a pair of crimson rocks from his inner world and placed them in front of Qiao Mu. "How about I exchange this pair of dragon fang souls for this talisman matrix?"
"Even though dragon fang souls are a type of divine-rank material and can greatly improve a divine weapon's attack speed, two pieces won't accomplish much." Mo Yu shook his head and deadpanned, "Their total value doesn't measure up to the jade talisman matrix. This deal would be a total loss. You have to add something more!"
The fire spirit specialty mentor was obviously taken aback. He naturally did not expect there to be an expert here.
However, he truly coveted that jade talisman matrix. Thus, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine, I'll add two pieces of this. What do you think?"
This fire spirit specialty mentor took out another two palm-sized jade pieces that were shining.
Everybody looked at each other, unclear on what these objects were.
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and then spoke evenly, "These two pieces of jade look to be alright, but since we don't know what they are, we will only find out after using them. Fine, they can count."
The fire spirit specialty mentor had been paying attention to Mo Lian's expression the whole time after he took out these two pieces of jade.
Seeing that Mo Lian's expression didn't falter and hearing his analysis, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
He had obtained these two pieces of jade many years ago when he was undergoing practical training deep inside a nameless mountain range. It had been so dangerous that besides himself, everyone else had gotten wiped out.
However, he had just been holding on to these two pieces for so many years, unable to sell them!
Everyone who saw these two jade pieces at first would be mesmerized by its appearance, but after the dazzling light on the jade disappeared, everyone had no idea what these two things were.
Hence, no one had been willing to buy them off him all this time.
