Huai’s Pawnshop.

Zhao Huai felt increasingly better after mastering the Sword Drawing Skill.

He glanced towards the shop entrance and business was still slow.

He couldn’t help but think about the prospect of reaching the Initiation Stage.

He had been in possession of the Initiation Pill for a few days now, and the only reason he had not immediately consumed it to achieve a breakthrough was because he was waiting for the right opportunity.

However, this breakthrough needed preparation. It was best to adjust both the physical and spiritual states to their peak and then use panacea for assistance.

Zhao Huai estimated that it would be time for his breakthrough when the medicinal herbs prepared by the Madam were ready in a few days.

With the medicinal herbs as catalysts and in a secluded and peaceful location, a breakthrough aided by the Initiation Pill would be more reliable.

After all, there was only one Initiation Pill, which could not be wasted. So, all factors needed to be carefully considered.

Feeling idle, Zhao Huai took out a sheet of aged yellow talisman paper from the black ring, dipped his brush in ink, and began to experiment with new talisman.

He had already mastered several fundamental talismans like the Fire Thunder Talisman and the Five Elements Talisman.

He could draw them single-handedly and without the need for paper or pencil. The Water Thunder Talisman and the Earth Suppressing Thunder Talisman used to suppress the demonic qi within Li Yanqing were examples of this.

However, this practice required quite a bit of proficiency and demanded high-quality True Qi.

Drawing talismans with paper and a brush conserved True Qi.

You could draw as many as you want in advance, provided you had enough materials.

Of course, drawing talismans directly also had its advantages in terms of convenience and adaptability.

However, Zhao Huai once read about a more potent method in the Three Thousand Thunderbolt Technique.

But, this was a more advanced method.

There were also theories that different cultivators with different constitutions used different types of talisman.

As Zhao Huai was engrossed in drawing talisman, customers finally arrived at the door.

“Is anyone there? Shopkeeper?”

A female voice asked.

Zhao Huai stopped his task and looked up to answer:

“Of course there is, do you wish to pawn or sell something?”

Selling meant bringing valuable items to pawn in exchange for money. Those items usually included treasures, land deeds, house deeds, etc.

“Thanks, shopkeeper.”

“Looking at you, it’s clear that you are not an ordinary person. You must be a disciple of a Sect. It’s been a while since I saw someone of your caliber,” Zhao Huai said with a smile.

Meeting a formidable cultivator after a long time, he naturally wanted to curry favor and try to acquire some valuable information.

Just as the girl was about to turn around and leave, she heard Zhao Huai’s words, and her expression remained unchanged. She smiled and replied:

“Indeed.”

Most disciples of a Sect were arrogant and indifferent to ordinary mortals. This girl, however, was different.

She was relatively approachable.

“Why do you need dog blood?” Zhao Huai asked, puzzled.

The woman in the green dress stared at Zhao Huai and explained slowly: “Naturally, it’s for exorcising demons. Recently, the demons have reemerged, wreaking havoc everywhere. The Sect sent us disciples down from the mountain to exterminate these demons one by one.”

Acting as though he understood, Zhao Huai said, “I see, that truly is a good deed.”

“Shopkeeper, you meet many people in your business. Have you sensed any movements from the demons?” asked the woman in the green dress, seemingly gaining information as well.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Huai replied, “Jinzhou seems safe. Is there any activity in the vicinity regarding demons?”

The woman in the green dress nodded, “A powerful demon appeared in Jingyang Town, causing many deaths. Many people were abducted by the demon. The way they died was pitiful.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai was somewhat surprised.

“Jingyang Town? Isn’t that near Jinzhou?”

“Yes. So it should be wandering around somewhere near Jinzhou,” the woman in the green skirt replied, furrowing her brow.

“If you sense anything, you must inform the officials. They will contact the

Sect, which will then send people. We’ll take action at that time.”

Having heard the woman’s instructions, Zhao Huai nodded and complimented. “Ah, it’s good you guys are taking action. This demon has truly killed many.”

Looking at the back of the woman in the green skirt receding away, Zhao Huai couldn’t help but wonder.

The incident in Jingyang Town was no small matter.

A town usually has about two thousand people, but it was uncertain how many had perished.

The fact that disciples of the Initiation Stage were dispatched implied the issue was serious, as normally the cultivators at the Initiation Stage were pivotal to the Sect and wouldn’t be sent out casually.

It seemed Yan Jing spoke the truth.

Recently, he really should not venture out.

But he couldn’t fathom why the demons had suddenly become so rampant?

Could it be related to the four demons he encountered last time?Emerging from n0v@lbin☆, this material harbors clandestine details.
