“One thousand taels of gold.”

Chen Mobai had done some research in the market. The average price of a lower-grade first-order talisman was 100 taels of gold, the average price of a mid-grade first-order talisman was 1,000 taels of gold, and the average price of a high-grade first-order talisman was one spiritual stone.

So, he instinctively quoted the average price.

Only after he finished speaking did he realize why he hadn’t had any business before. He hadn’t marked the prices, forcing people to ask. Naturally, business wouldn’t be good.

“I’ll buy as many as you have.”

The woman in the yellow dress’s eyes lit up after hearing this, and she pointed at the “Green Arrow Talisman” that Chen Mobai had laid out on his stall.

Chen Mobai had six left, but her words made him suspicious, and he didn’t dare to sell them all.

“There are only two left.”

“Here, these are gold notes.”

The woman in the yellow dress took out two large notes from her sachet. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but since he had already spoken and set up his stall, he couldn’t go back on his word.

He took out another talisman from his bag, along with the one on the blanket, and gave them both to her.

“My name is Zhuo Ming, I’m a talisman maker. We can exchange ideas in the future.”

After saying this, the woman in the yellow dress took the two Green Arrow Talismans, packed up her stall, and left with her belongings.

Chen Mobai was left in confusion.

At this moment, another thin young man with a long beard came over. He squatted down at Chen Mobai’s stall and began to pick through the remaining lower-grade first-order spiritual talismans.

“She could probably sell that Green Arrow Talisman for two or three thousand taels each.”

The bearded young man suddenly said. Chen Mobai stroked his chin, completely clueless about what had just happened.

“A few days ago, Qi Er followed a team of rogue cultivators to hunt Snow Rhinoceros in Dream Swamp. He used a mid-grade first-order talisman, breaking the beast’s legs and making a great contribution.”

After he finished speaking, Chen Mobai finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that it was because of the Green Arrow Talisman he had given to Qi Er. So when Zhuo Ming saw him finally set up a stall, she couldn’t help but take the initiative and pick up a bargain.

“How many do you have left? Pack them all for me.”

The bearded young man explained before pointing at the five lower-grade first-order talismans on the blanket.

Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. According to his original pricing, it should be 100 taels each, but now it seemed that his talismans had made a name for themselves through Qi Er. Perhaps he should raise the price.

“May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?”

“Lu Shu.”

The bearded young man waved his hand and gave his name.

“To be honest, I have no idea what price I should set for my talismans in the market. Could you give me some advice? These five talismans can be considered as a consultation fee.”

Lu Shu was taken aback by Chen Mobai’s idea, then he clicked his tongue in admiration.

“Where did you come from, rogue cultivator? Judging by your cultivation, you should be a Qi Refining sixth layer cultivator, you should know all about these things.”

“When I was young, I accidentally saw a cultivation method carved on the wall of a cave. I stumbled upon cultivation and only recently found this Nanxi Market. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t even know about spiritual stones before.”

Chen Mobai’s words made Lu Shu nod. He then picked up the five lower-grade first-order talismans on the blanket, asked about their effects and power, and began to set prices.

“This one is a Binding Talisman…”

The two of them asked and answered, spending nearly half an hour.

“I’ve made a profit. If these five talismans were sold on the island in Dream Swamp, they would be worth at least a thousand gold. I’ll give you this book as a return gift.”

Lu Shu took a book from his blanket and threw it to Chen Mobai. The latter took a look and saw that it was “Shenmu Sect’s Talisman Making Insights”.

“Judging by the style of your talismans, you should have a wood spiritual root. The Shenmu Sect is a top talisman making sect in the East Wilderness. They recruit a batch of disciples every ten years. With your cultivation at such a young age, if you master these talisman making insights in advance, you might be able to join the Shenmu Sect and get a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Chen Mobai originally thought that this book was useless to him. Even if he wanted to learn talisman making, he would only study the skills of the Earth Origin Star. But after hearing Lu Shu’s words, he was stunned and couldn’t believe it.

“Foundation Establishment Pill? Does the Shenmu Sect actually distribute Foundation Establishment Pills to their disciples?”

“Of course, otherwise how could they be a major sect in the East Wilderness? Isn’t it because they have a Golden Elixir ancestor who can get the third-grade alchemist from Huitian Valley to share the Foundation Establishment Pills he refines with them?”

Lu Shu misunderstood Chen Mobai’s meaning. What he meant was, isn’t the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill better used to refine Elixir Pills, which are more efficient and less wasteful?

But Chen Mobai quickly came back to his senses. Isn’t this even better!

This is not the Earth Origin Star, maybe the resources and spiritual herbs here are abundant, and they just want to waste them!

He immediately picked up the book “Shenmu Sect’s Talisman Making Insights” and asked Lu Shu when they would be recruiting disciples next.

“According to the ten-year cycle, it should be next year.”

Lu Shu wasn’t sure, after all, he planned to join Liu Jia Mountain to learn puppetry, and selling talismans was just for living.

“Thank you.”

Chen Mobai stood up and thanked Lu Shu. The latter was a bit puzzled as to why he was so formal, but he nodded in acceptance.After making a profit of five talismans from a second-hand book, Lu Shu closed his stall, saying he was going to try his luck in the Dream Swamp, hoping to hunt some monsters.

Compared to setting up a stall in the market, hunting monsters is the legitimate way for cultivators in the Tianhe realm to earn resources.

A lower-grade first-order spirit beast, if sold in the Heavenly Meal Building with its meat well preserved, is worth at least one spirit stone.

For this reason, after hunting a Snow Rhinoceros with a team using a green arrow talisman, Qi Er received two spirit stones. It was like a pie falling from the sky, a huge profit.

After Zhuo Ming and Lu Shu left, Chen Mobai set up his stall for a while longer.

Soon, the cultivators in the market who had heard the news rushed over and bought all of his nearly one hundred lower-grade first-order talismans. After receiving Lu Shu’s advice, Chen Mobai raised the price of each talisman to 200 taels of gold.

After selling everything, along with the gold ticket given by Zhuo Ming, he went to the silver shop of the Five Elements Sect and exchanged it for two spirit stones.

Leaving the market with his gains, Chen Mobai returned to the Water Mansion. He took out the introduction to the Eastern Wilderness Sects that he had bought earlier and began to read carefully about the Shenmu Sect.

The Shenmu Sect, a branch of the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect, split from the Five Elements Sect fifty years ago when the ancestor of the Mixed Yuan passed away. The sect is located in the Giant Wood Ridge, with a fourth-grade upper-class spirit vein. Their unique skill is the “Longevity Sutra”. After practicing, each breakthrough in a major realm can extend life by one cycle.

This technique is good, it prolongs life.
