Although the market was peaceful throughout the year, the area outside was still chaotic, and even he, as an introvert, heard about the deaths of no less than ten loose cultivators due to dangers.
Therefore, cultivation was a high-risk profession, but ordinary people who served the market still flocked to it, eager to cultivate.
After all, people are never satisfied, and isn’t he the same?
One day, Chen Mo visited again, with a smile on his face, “Brother Zhou, I want to exchange some Vajra talismans with you. This time it’s a big deal, so 1 need more Vajra talismans to boost my confidence.”
A big deal usually meant greater danger, but a huge gain if one survived and returned. Seeing this, Liang Sheng didn’t say much and exchanged talismans with Chen Mo at a 20% discount from the market’s private trading price.
Chen Mo was also relieved to have saved a few spirit stones this time. Over the year, he had saved at least one year’s worth of cave mansion rental fees.
Of course, there were better things in the market, but Chen Mo naturally wanted to make the most proper preparations with the least amount of spirit stones.
However, after exchanging the talismans, he still planned to persuade Liang Sheng, because the price of talisman materials had been rising continuously in the past year, becoming increasingly unreasonable.
In fact, this was Liang Sheng’s own doing. Although he didn’t supply many each time, he had been a little too frequent over the year, and as a result, he had exchanged a lot of talismans, causing a significant loss in income for the Three Sects and Six Orders shops.
So, the Three Sects and Six Orders didn’t just sit back; they controlled the price of talisman-making materials at the source, increasing the cost of making talismans while keeping the price of selling talismans in the shop the same. As a result, there were significantly fewer private talisman transactions.
Liang Sheng shook his head upon hearing this, “Daoist Chen, you don’t have to persuade me. I’m naturally timid, and I’m only at the Qi Cultivation Third Level, so I’m not in a hurry to go out. Safety first.”
The lower the cultivation realm, the easier it was to breakthrough the bottleneck. It seemed that Liang Sheng really didn’t need to rush at this moment, but Chen Mo said meaningfully, “Brother Zhou, time flies, and we should cherish it, or else we will regret it later.”
But his words naturally couldn’t persuade Liang Sheng, so he had no choice but to give up and let everyone make their own choices. After receiving the Vajra talismans, he turned and left.
Liang Sheng watched Chen Mo leave, and then calmed down, picked up the wolf-hair brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and began to draw talismans on the talisman paper.
Liang Sheng’s wolf hair brush moved like a dragon and snake, and in a short time, the talisman paper flashed with a faint light, and the talisman was successfully made.
Vajra Talisman.
After that, he successively drew Heart Clearing talismans and Body Purification talismans…
All with a 100% success rate.
The number he made was not many, as he still needed to be low-key when selling these talismans in the market. It was best not to attract attention from those with ulterior motives; he naturally had to be cautious and only exchange a similar amount of spirit stones.
Next, Liang Sheng’s expression became serious because he was about to draw a Fireball talisman, a low-level talisman that he had never drawn before in the secular world.
The Fireball talisman could instantly release more than a dozen Fireball Techniques with considerable power. If used properly, it would give a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Fivefold a hard time and could even change the course of a battle.
Compared to the Vajra talisman and others, the value of the Fireball talisman was several times higher, as attack talismans were naturally more expensive than auxiliary and defensive talismans.
One reason was due to its function, and the other was that the success rate of attack talismans was lower compared to auxiliary and defensive talismans of the same level.
Over the past year, his success rate in refining Fireball talismans had reached 10%. However, today, when he was drawing the final stroke, his Qi was disrupted, and the talisman paper ignited without fire.
Failure again.
Liang Sheng didn’t mind; he cleaned up his workspace, took out a new piece of talisman paper, concentrated on calming his Qi, and began drawing the talisman again.
When he was drawing the Fireball talisman and felt impatient and agitated, Liang Sheng would draw other talismans. There were no obstacles to drawing Qi Refining stage talismans that he couldn’t draw in the secular world at this moment.
As for other spells and seals, Liang Sheng naturally did not slack off, as they were life-saving skills. How could he not practice diligently?
In the absence of news about the Foundation Establishment Pill, he prepared to maintain this lifestyle, not attracting attention and quietly waiting.
Unfortunately, wherever there were people, there was Jianghu. This time, Chen Mo encountered an accident after returning from his mission.
When Chen Mo returned, Liang Sheng was startled, as Chen Mo’s face was pale and his body’s Qi was unstable.
However, no matter how Liang Sheng asked, Chen Mo remained silent and only said that he needed to rest and recuperate for a while and didn’t need to go on missions to compete for resources.
Seeing this, Liang Sheng naturally didn’t ask any further questions. Still, looking at Chen Mo’s condition, he took out a few Body Purification talismans to remove the hidden injuries in Chen Mo’s body.
The effect of the first talisman was not significant, but after Liang Sheng used ten Body Purification talismans in a row, Chen Mo’s Qi gradually stabilized, and his face regained some color.
Liang Sheng even used a Heart Clearing talisman, which improved Chen Mo’s mental state, and Chen Mo was naturally grateful for this.
One day, a loose cultivator visited Liang Sheng’s cave mansion to buy some talismans, and Liang Sheng naturally didn’t decline. However, after collecting the spirit stones, he noticed that there were a few faint gazes on Chen Mo’s cave mansion.
Was someone watching Chen Mo?
It seemed that Chen Mo’s so-called big deal had attracted the attention of others, and now people were coming to his door. Still, this was the market, where Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators sent by the Three Sects and Six Orders were present, so no one dared to cause chaos in the market.
But what if Chen Mo couldn’t endure it? Once his body recovered and he went out to carry out missions and search for resources, anything could happen. However, Chen Mo was still recuperating at this time and shouldn’t be going out of the market for a short period of time, so Liang Sheng acted as if he hadn’t seen anything; better not to meddle in the matter.
At this moment, the few people who had been staring at Chen Mo’s cave mansion noticed Liang Sheng but didn’t pay any more attention when they saw that he didn’t care and returned to his cave.
A few days later, those cultivators who had been watching disappeared, and Chen Mo only emerged after a few more days, immediately asking Liang Sheng to exchange some Vajra talismans when he saw him.
“Are you sure you want to go out?”
Hearing Liang Sheng’s words, Chen Mo naturally sensed that Liang Sheng had detected something unusual, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded.
“This time it really is a big deal. Even though it’s dangerous, 1 have to give it a try. After all, if 1 get it, the resources 1 need to break through the Sixth Level of Qi Training will be more than enough.”
Hearing this, Liang Sheng stopped trying to persuade the other party, as everyone had their own fate. However, at this moment, Liang Sheng handed Chen Mo two talismans.
Chen Mo looked at them with surprise.
“High-Quality Fireball Talisman?”
