Chapter 4: Selling Talismans
As soon as he walked out of the wooden house, he found that most of the neighbors were looking at him with gloating eyes, and at the same time, their eyes were full of pity and disdain.
He walked out of the alley quickly, as if he didn't notice the eyes of the people around him.
Such an encounter may be unbearable for the original person who had been under the care of the master before.
But for him, an old fritter who has been struggling in the previous world for half his life, he can completely ignore it.
Of course, he didn't forget to take off the notice on the door before leaving. This was useful.
After he passed the corner of the alley and was no longer visible, the neighbors began to talk about him.
"This child is so pitiful. He will be kicked out of Fangshi after today. I wonder what his master will think when he comes back?"
"Tsk, tsk, you are really worried about unnecessary things. Is it possible that his master will ask you for help when he comes back? If you have this free time, you should think about ourselves!"
"What's wrong with us? Aren't we living well?"
"What the heck, our rent is about to expire, and you still don't think of a solution. Do you think Song'er and I will follow you and live a life of fear and uncertainty outside Fangshi?"
The above is a conversation between a couple living in this alley, started by Xu Feng, and finally transferred to himself.
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel like this guy has changed a lot after not seeing him for a few months."
Another person just noticed some changes in Xu Feng's demeanor and asked the monk in the next room with some doubts.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? He has just recovered from a serious illness. He must look a little different! But I just don't know what he is doing now? Could it be that he left Fangshi early?"
"I don't know. Maybe Master Liu Fu made an explanation before he left, asking him to go to the inner area to find someone to dismantle the spirit stones and pay the rent." Another person guessed.
"You're talking nonsense. If his master takes action on his own, I believe that with his reputation as a Talisman Maker, he might be able to borrow a year's rent.
But now his master has been missing for several months. Who do you think would lend more than a hundred spiritual stones to someone who might not be able to get them back? Who could be so stupid as to do that? "
Xu Feng naturally did not hear these discussions. At this time, he had already followed the alleyway to the main road, which was the only way to the inner area of Fang City.
It was more lively here. There were many casual cultivators setting up stalls on both sides of the street. There were no shops here. They were all free trading places. When he passed by, he could hear all kinds of shouts.
"Come and see, fresh monster meat just caught from the monster forest, killed and slaughtered, one pound of spiritual stone."
"Today is a discount sale. Buy one and get one free on the spiritual items at the stall. Don't miss it if you pass by."
"The incomplete copy of the Golden elixir technique is a high-level technique that can be practiced to perfection. It absorbs spiritual energy faster than ordinary techniques. Fellow Taoists, come and take a look. It is not expensive and only costs fifty spiritual stones."
"Freshly picked elixirs are most suitable for making elixirs. Fellow Taoists, take a look."
"I have all the first-level talismans and seals. Fellow Taoist, if you need anything, I will show it to you."
Finally, Xu Feng stood in front of a stall selling talismans and seals. He began to bend down and look carefully at the items on the stall. He found that the stall owner had customers and greeted him warmly.
"Fellow Taoist, I don't know how to sell this communication talisman?"
At first, he did not directly ask about the price of the small fireball talisman and the ice sword talisman, but first asked about the other talismans and seals on the stall.
"I wonder how many fellow Taoists need?"
"How much do ten pieces cost?"
"If there are ten pieces, fellow Taoist, please give me thirty spirit stones."
"No, this is too expensive. How about fifteen spiritual stones?"
"Haha, fellow Taoist, you should look at something else. I really can't buy it at this price!"
The stall owner felt a little unhappy when he heard Xu Feng bargaining like this. He felt his realm again and found that he only had the third level of Qi Refining.
I thought he was just a poor guy, so my attitude was not so enthusiastic. I made a haha and let him see by himself, then turned around to attract other customers who passed by his stall.
Xu Feng pretended to look through it for a while, and then asked with satisfaction the prices of the small fireball talisman, ice sword talisman, and wooden shield talisman.
He found that it was quite different from what he expected. In the end, with the boss's eyes asking for a sword, he quickly left the stall area and walked towards the inner area of Fang City, where the Fu Pavilion where his master often went was.
After walking for about two quarters of an hour, he came to a busy street.
At the end of this place is a tall stone arch, five or six feet high. In the middle of the stone arch, there are three characters "Shopping Street" engraved on it.
It is said that these three words were written by a strong person in the golden elixir himself and then asked a craftsman to engrave them on them. The Qi Refining monks will feel dizzy after reading them.
Without verifying the authenticity of this matter, he walked directly into the stone gate.
On both sides of the street here are shops. They are extremely luxuriously decorated and can be said to be magnificent. They are completely different from the street stall area just now. I don't know how much higher the grade is.
At the same time, the monks traveling here are all in the middle or late stage of Qi training. It takes a long time to meet a third-level Qi training shrimp like him.
Looking at the dazzling array of shops, Xu Feng searched for a long time before he found a talisman shop called Jufu Pavilion at the end of the street and walked in.
"What do fellow Taoists need?"
An old man who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining came up to him. He had an old-looking face, but his attitude was not indifferent because of his low level of cultivation. Instead, he greeted him with a smile and asked enthusiastically.
"Shopkeeper, do you accept talismans?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked him up and down, and then asked tentatively:
"We do accept talismans, but we have to look at the quality. Daoist friend, are you a talisman maker?"
"Senior, you are joking. I can only be considered an apprentice talisman maker now. This time, I am following the order of my master to sell the talismans he has drawn recently."
Xu Feng did not tell the truth. He did not want to expose the fact that he was a talisman maker. His current strength was too weak, so he could only use the tiger skin as a banner.
"Oh, in that case, then take out all your talismans and let me see them. I will estimate the price for you according to the quality."
The shopkeeper did not react much when he heard that Xu Feng was not a talisman maker. He just asked casually and did not expect a positive answer.
The hundred arts of cultivating immortals cannot be mastered casually, otherwise there would be array masters, alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman makers everywhere in this world.
"Twenty small fireball talismans, twenty-five ice sword talismans, and twenty wooden shield talismans. Please check them, shopkeeper."
After taking them, the shopkeeper took out one talisman from each of the three stacks, and then lightly tapped the three talismans.
Then you can see that the talismans that were originally lying quietly on the table are flashing with light, as if they will explode in the next moment.
After measuring the distance between himself and the talismans, Xu Feng felt that it was not safe enough, so he quietly moved back a few steps.
