t necessarily choose this place; he could look for other hiding places.The old monster, who was half-fish and half-human, obeyed and opened his cave. He came out with Lu Xiaoteng.Let me know if you ha..."Brother Lu, you're joking. We don't have much money on hand. We're rushing to raise spirit stones to buy martial arts techniques, so where would we get extra spirit stones to buy consumable talismans Those are only affordable for disciples from powerful families." Luo Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.

Lu Xiaitian also wanted that alchemy furnace. It could be used all the way to a high-level alchemist. He wouldn't have to worry about the furnace for a long time afterward. Besides, after getting rid of the black-robed elder, he immediately began to refine Qi Gathering Pills.

However, he was also worried that if the talismans weren't enough at the time and he failed to eliminate the old man in black robes all at once, selling his belongings would be almost all he could do to gather over a hundred spirit stones. If he failed, he wouldn't have another chance to try again.

He was only at the second level of Qi refinement, he couldn't possibly understand the true strength of a Grand Perfection in the Qi Refinement Stage. However, Luo Yuan was a master at the sixth level of Qi refinement, so he definitely knew more than him.

Then Lu Xia Tian asked, "Brother Luo, to be honest with you, I have a Qi Refinement Stage Great Accomplishment enemy, who is probably at the eleventh level of Qi Refinement. Although he doesn't know my whereabouts, I still need to buy some talismans for self-defense, just in case. In your opinion, how many talismans are needed to deal with a Qi Refinement Great Accomplishment expert"

"A Grandmaster at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage" The siblings' faces changed drastically upon hearing this.

"Right, my master was harmed by him. The things I have now are also left to me by my master. I didn't want to sell them, but there's no other way to protect myself."

Lu Xia Tian chuckled bitterly, "I wouldn't normally lie to people casually, but with so many around seeing me sell martial arts techniques and even mid-grade Yuan Qi Dan, some already see me as a hot potato. I had to come up with a suitable excuse to dispel some of their misguided ideas. Firstly, I want to show the world that these are all my possessions, and secondly, after exchanging for talismans, with talismans on me, it's not like I'm easy to mess with."

As expected, when Lu Xiaotian said this, a few people around him showed a hint of fear in their eyes. It's unclear whether they were afraid of Lu Xiaotian's powerful Qi refining master behind him, or the large number of talismans he was about to exchange for.

Luo Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "This is hard to say. I'm currently at the sixth level of Qi Refinement. A few casual cultivators at the early stage of Qi Refinement wouldn't even be in my eyes. But if there were one or two more, it would be quite troublesome. Things could easily end up in a mutual destruction scenario. And if they used better spiritual artifacts, I'd only have to flee in embarrassment."

"By analogy, a master at the eighth or ninth level of the later stage of Qi Refining should be able to withstand five or six people like me. A Grand Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage might have seven or eight. However, they would likely find it quite difficult. As for talismans, although their power is slightly less than that of a cultivator casting spells directly, their advantage lies in their fast casting speed. However, I estimate it would take one or two hundred low-grade spirit talismans to threaten the life of a Grand Perfection of Qi Refining."

“If the opponent has powerful defensive artifacts, it could be more difficult.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"If the opponent has offensive artifacts, what good are defensive ones" Lu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and asked. Back when he sparred with Situ Jing, the other party only used a few low-grade talismans, yet he was left flustered. A cultivator at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage could be so powerful.

“Without a magic tool, how is this possible If there were no magic tools, it would be much easier. I estimate that around a hundred talismans should be enough to take his life. After all, the body of a cultivator is still mortal flesh. Even being hit by the lowest-ranking fire ball talisman could cause severe injuries.” Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said.

Hearing Luo Yuan say this, Lu Xiaottian's heart became more resolute. If he faced the black-robed elder himself, he wouldn't feel any interest in opposing him. As long as the other party controlled that golden flying sword with one strike, he could take his life. Even with these talismans, it might not really be effective, at most it could only injure the black-robed elder. However, the other party was now in a state of primordial spirit, which was easier to deal with than barehanded. In this way, selling the earth-based martial art technique in his hand, plus the spirit stones on his body, would be enough.

“Thank you, Brother Luo, for clearing things up. How about this: I’ll take your alchemy furnace, but not in exchange for that native-style technique. Instead, I'll offer this water-system technique.”

“Water-based martial arts We don't need that.” Luo Yuan shook his head regretfully.

Lu Xia tian explained, "Listen to me, you use spirit stones to buy the Huitu Zhenjing. If you're short of spirit stones, use other equivalent spiritual items to make up for it. Then I'll use this water system exercise method to exchange for your alchemy furnace. Anyway, Miss Luo Qing is also running a stall. If she doesn't need the water system exercise method, she can sell it at the stall. Maybe it will sell better than an alchemy furnace."

"I see. That works then." Luo Qing readily agreed, just as Lu Xia Tian had said, the martial arts technique was easier to sell than the alchemy furnace she held.

Luo Qing spread the package on the ground, "Which things do you like You can choose from inside."

"What I want most, of course, is Spirit Stones. As for Earth-attribute martial arts, I'll keep them for now. Since there's still some time this afternoon, let's set up a stall again. Brother Luo, you should also ask your friends for help. However, no matter the outcome, I will sell the martial arts to you by evening." Lu Xiaodao said.

"Very well, I shall go and gather spirit stones."

Luo Yuan's face was anxious, and he hurried away with the wind at his feet, looking for familiar friends to raise spirit stones.

Lu Xiaitian took some time to help Luo Qing set up their stall and asked her about Wangyue City.

By evening, Luo Yuan returned with a face full of joy, having procured another seven spirit stones. However, the stall hadn't been very successful, selling only one Qinglang Hao brush all afternoon. The siblings counted their earnings, finding they only had thirty spirit stones, still three short of what they needed.

“Why don't we set up one more stall The night market in Moon Viewing City is also very lively, and there might still be people who want to buy.”

Luo Qing said with some reluctance, "There are only a few Qinglang毫 pens used for drawing talismans on the stall. There are also two pieces of Xue Lingmu used for talisman ink. Taking one is worth less than three spirit stones, taking both, she would lose out a bit. Usually, her and her brother wouldn't mind, but now that they've bought martial arts techniques and are in debt, they have nothing left. At this moment, Luo Qing was helpless, she could only be thrifty."

"No need, let's just settle this. I'll get another Blue Wolf's Hair brush and we're even." Lu Xia Tian saw the awkwardness between Luo Qing and her brother, and gave a calm smile.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“That's really thanks to Brother Lu, I will definitely repay you in the future!” Luo Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this.

Lu Xia tian returned the salute, completing the exchange. He was satisfied as he put the alchemy furnace into his bag. Adding up his previous savings, he now had one hundred and eight spirit stones, enough to buy over a hundred low-grade talismans.

“Sister, if it weren't for your full support, Big Brother wouldn't know when he could buy a suitable martial arts manual. Now that we are both as poor as beggars, you will probably have to endure a hard life with Big Brother.”

After Lu Xiaoxiao left, Luo Yuan held the Huitu Zhending as if it were a priceless treasure. However, when he looked at Luo Qing, his face was full of shame.

Luo Qing, on the other hand, let out a relieved laugh. “What’s the point of us siblings talking about this Cultivation is difficult. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Xiaottian happened to have Qi Refining Stage cultivation techniques, and we could buy them at the shop, who knows when we would be able to gather enough spirit stones.”

“Besides, I still have a book here that could sell for dozens of spirit stones. As long as we sell it, we’ll have spirit stones to use.” Saying that, Luo Qing raised the water-system martial arts manual in his hand.

"Oh, venerable Immortal, you've come again. How is it Is the power of our talismans satisfactory"

The shopkeeper of the Spirit Talisman Shop was a portly middle-aged man, a worldly martial artist. He was originally counting his takings when he saw Lu Xia Tian arrive and his eyes lit up. In business, one must have bright eyes, good memory, and quick reflexes. He remembered Lu Xia Tian coming in the morning, so this time it was considered a returning customer.

Lu Xia Tian now understood why there were so many ordinary people living in Wangyue City, a city for wandering cultivators.

Part of them were indeed the relatives of wandering cultivators within the city. There was another type of person, similar to the middle-aged shopkeeper before us, who did some menial and basic work. It only cost a shop to hire someone like this shopkeeper with mundane gold and silver, while hiring a cultivator would require spending spirit stones. The cost difference between the two was immeasurable; it truly was a profitable deal.

"Well, is there a discount if you buy more" Lu Xia Tian asked.

"This, Immortal Lord, you know that our shop's talismans are all clearly priced, honest and fair. The prices haven't been lowered."

The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled cautiously, saying, "Although cultivators within Moonlit City cannot harm mortals, I still hold a deep reverence for them."

“Other loose cultivators on the street also sell talismans, with lower prices, but fewer in number. I found it troublesome, so I came to your shop. I want to buy nearly a hundred talismans. If your shop doesn't have that many, I’ll just have to look elsewhere.”

Lu Xiaotian frowned. Previously, when he set up a stall with Luo Qing, Luo Qing knew he was going to buy a lot of talismans and specifically told him that even in the shop, buying in bulk could be negotiated. Lu Xiaotian naturally didn't want to be an easy target who paid readily for spirit stones.

“Nearly a hundred talismans” The middle-aged shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly said, “Immortal, please wait a moment, I’ll go notify the head of our firm. When the time comes, Immortal, you can speak directly to the head.”

"Alright, I'll wait for you a moment." Lu Xia Tian nodded.

“Excuse me, young sir. I am the head of this trading company. My clerk told me you want to buy nearly a hundred talismans Is that really true”

Soon, an old man with white beard and kind eyes walked out from the back door of the shop. He smiled kindly and asked:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Nature is true, which talisman here is most effective against a spirit" Lu Xiaoteng asked.

The most effective way to deal with Yuanshen is naturally the Lei Ling Fu. Thunder magic exorcises evil spirits and has a restraining effect on souls and ghosts. However, the difficulty of making Lei Ling Fu is higher than that of elementary fireball spells and earth shield spells, so the price is also several times more expensive. Ordinary primary fireball talismans and earth shield talismans only cost one piece of inferior spirit stone. But a primary Lei Ling Fu costs five.

The white-haired elder's heart skipped a beat. Among cultivators, it was common for them to fight over treasures, sometimes even going so far as to leave their opponents severely injured. However, this young man specifically buying thunder spirit talismans to target escaping souls was exceptionally ruthless. two large armies of merfolk, to the Dragon King's faction, were not even fatal, but they made the already bleak situation even more unpredictable.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like tra...
