After changing into casual clothes, Chen Mobai picked up his phone and headed out. As he walked, he placed an order for talismans on his phone, grateful that he had cultivated his divine sense and was not afraid of bumping into things.

He went to the Mu Ling Talisman Shop again. After selling the Ascending Spirit Powder to Chan Si’s senior sister, he now had a substantial amount of legitimate money. He scanned through the talismans that he had previously wanted but couldn’t afford.

He bought all the talismans of the First Grade Lower and First Grade Middle, spending a total of 11,600 Good Deeds.

Then, he bought two “Wooden House Talismans,” a First Grade Upper talisman. He was planning to go to the Dream Swamp to battle with the demonic beasts and train. There was a possibility that he might not be able to return to Qingguang Island. If he had to stay on a deserted island, having this talisman would at least protect him from the wind and rain.

He also bought five “Recovery Talismans” that could restore spiritual power and remove negative effects. In Nanxifang Market, they were valued at 2 spirit stones, but in the Dream Swamp, they could be sold for 3 spirit stones. Here, they were priced at 500 Good Deeds. Ignoring the exchange rate, it was a 60-fold profit, which was incredible.

Unfortunately, the shop only had 5 in stock.

There was also the “Grass and Wood Soldiers Talisman” that he had previously wanted. Although it was most powerful in places with lush vegetation, Chen Mobai knew that there were also many water plants in the Dream Swamp, so it could still be useful. However, the shop only had 3 in stock, which was too few.

After a series of orders, Chen Mobai almost bought out the entire Mu Ling Talisman Shop.

Except for the mediocre “Wood Spirit Talisman” and the second-grade “Wood Thunder Talisman,” which was the shop’s treasure.

He spent money happily, but it seemed that the shopkeeper was scared. They directly sent a message through the Immortal Gate website’s backend:

[Dear customer, is there a problem with your emotions? Do you need to shop to vent? Although our talismans have good effects when used, they cannot cure a depressed mood.]

What does this have to do with anything!

Chen Mobai replied directly:

[Your talismans are great and very popular in my hometown. I’m going to wholesale them and sell them in my hometown.]

[Thank you so much! Your purchase has allowed me to earn enough money to send my younger siblings to college this year. I will pack your items separately and send them via express delivery.]

The shopkeeper was quite good, efficient.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai started browsing the Immortal Gate website’s flagship stores for talismans, elixirs, and magical tools that would be released in the next month. He set the date for purchasing the three treasures of Foundation Establishment on the 18th and 26th of this month. He also paid special attention to talismans similar to the “Mysterious Yang Purple Fire Talisman.” Unfortunately, offensive talismans were not popular in the Immortal Gate. The only one he saw was the “Golden Light Sword Talisman,” which would be released on the 15th. However, this talisman was of the Second Grade Upper and could be used three times. Its price was almost comparable to one of the three treasures of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Mobai thought he was already rich, but after seeing this, he realized he was still poor.

Helpless, he could only turn back to the Mu Ling Talisman Shop and grit his teeth as he bought the shop’s treasure, the “Wood Thunder Talisman.”

[Dear…]

The shopkeeper sent another message through the backend. This Wood Thunder Talisman had been on the shelves for two years and had only been sold once before Chen Mobai bought it.

This talisman cost 50,000 Good Deeds, more expensive than buying all the First Grade talismans.

The shopkeeper was afraid that Chen Mobai had made a mistake, so they specifically confirmed it with him through the backend.

[Please send the talismans I just bought along with this one.]

There were many shops selling talismans on the Immortal Gate website, but there were only a few that offered free shipping in Danxia City. Chen Mobai was sentimental and had a good impression of this Mu Ling Talisman Shop. He had used their talismans once and felt they were good, so he didn’t want to waste time looking at other shops.

[Thank you so much for your generosity. As a token of appreciation for being such a big customer, I’ll give you a “Wooden House Talisman” with three rooms and one living room.]

The shopkeeper was good, understanding.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai sent another message.

[I’ve already bought two of those Wooden House Talismans, and one room is enough for outdoor use. Three rooms and one living room are too wasteful. I noticed that your “Wood Spirit Talisman” has been on the shelves for two years and hasn’t sold a single one. How about giving me that talisman instead?]

[…]

The shopkeeper replied with ellipses, seemingly speechless.

While Chen Mobai was muttering to himself about how stingy the shopkeeper was, they sent another message.

[Okay.]

The shopkeeper was really good, easy to deal with.

After completing his purchase, Chen Mobai went to a hot pot restaurant. As soon as he walked in, he saw many classmates sitting in groups of two or three. When he entered, Lu Hongsheng immediately waved at him. The classmates sitting around this table, as well as a few others he usually got along with in class, had already taken their seats.These were the classmates Lu Hongsheng usually hung out with.

“Old Chen, I heard from the class monitor that Yan Bingxuan will also be here today.”

As soon as he sat down, Chen Mobai heard a surprising piece of news.

“Didn’t she drop out?”

“She did drop out, but the bond between classmates still exists. The class monitor called her. She initially said she wouldn’t come, but somehow, she said last night that she would.”

Lu Hongsheng whispered the secret he had learned from the class monitor.

Chen Mobai thought of Yan Bingxuan refining her ice spiritual root. Wouldn’t that be a perfect opportunity to consult her about the ice breath technique?

Just as they were talking, the beautiful Yan Bingxuan walked in. She looked around, hesitating where to sit. The class monitor, Mo Simin, who was in charge of reception, immediately went up to greet her and finally led her to a table full of girls.

“See, didn’t I tell you she would come?”

Lu Hongsheng pointed at the seated Yan Bingxuan, looking smug, as if showing off his accurate information.

Chen Mobai ignored him, opened the class group chat, found Yan Bingxuan’s avatar, and directly sent her a private message about his difficulties in practicing the ice technique.

Then he put down his phone.

After a while, Yan Bingxuan looked up and met his gaze. Chen Mobai nodded, indicating it was him.

【I’m not good at explaining things in words. If you have time after dinner, I can let you feel my ice spiritual power.】

Chen Mobai saw her reply and felt the warmth of friendship.

Just then, another group of young boys and girls walked in. Upon asking, it turned out they were also senior high school students, here for a farewell dinner after their college entrance examination.

“Wow, Old Chen, look, she’s so beautiful.”

Chen Mobai, who was browsing the Immortal Gate website, was called by Lu Hongsheng. He looked up and was stunned.

“What a coincidence?”

Qing Nv, who had just walked in from the door, was not wearing a mask or hat this time. Her stunning beauty attracted everyone in the room. After she came in, she also saw Chen Mobai, paused for a moment, and then came over to greet him.
