Chapter 34: Chapter 29 How Many Spirit Stones Are You Willing to Spend_l

Hearing Lin Yi’s refusal, Li Yuan Qing’s face didn’t display any change. He nodded and said, “In that case, I won’t insist. Your Raging Fire Talismans are quite good. How many do you have? Take them all out. I’ll pay you the highest market price.”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled, so he reminded him, “Senior Brother, even if my Raging Fire Talismans have great power, they can only inflict damage at the Qi Refining Realm. I’m afraid they won’t serve much purpose for you.”

Senior Brother Li was a disciple under the Golden Sword Zen Ren, and with his cultivation levels reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, the use of talismans meant for the Qi Refining Realm would likely prove insignificant to him.

“I don’t plan to use them one by one. While hunting monster beasts, I’ll use these talismans for supplemental attacks,” Li Yuan Qing explained briefly.

Without questioning further, Lin Yi took out a set of Raging Fire Talismans from his bag, “Alright, this batch of Raging Fire Talismans, a total of a hundred, are all here. Senior Brother, wouldn’t you want some protective amulets?” Lastly, he didn’t forget to advertise his amulets.

Without even sparing a glance, Li Yuan Qing accepted the stack of Raging Fire Talismans and put them into his Storage Bag. He said nonchalantly, “My cultivation is of the aggressive kind, my sword Qi stops at nothing, the best defense is offense.’

Having said that, he took out a talisman emanating a mysterious aura from his Storage Bag, “There are 150 spirit stones in this Storage Symbol, which can be used around ten times more. I’ll give it to you.”

“Senior Brother, this is too much, especially gifting me a Storage Symbol, I can’t accept this,” Lin Yi quickly put up a hand, even though his Talisman was of the Great Achievement Level, in the talisman shop in Qing Yun City, the buyback price is a maximum of around one Spirit Stone. Possibly, even the talisman shop won’t sell it for one and a half Spirit Stones each.

Moreover, he didn’t expect Li Yuan Qing to actually use a Storage Symbol to pay the Spirit Stones. This kind of talisman, especially for low ranking cultivators or Loose Cultivators, was rarely bought because it was somewhat insignificant.

A Storage Symbol costs twenty spirit stones and can only be used a hundred or so times. It equals to the cost of twenty spiritual pearls per use, resembling the dreadfully high-interest loans, thus not many low-ranking cultivators bought it.

“It’s no problem. If you think it’s too much, just give me a few more talismans next time,” Li Yuan Qing spoke with indifference. As the direct disciple of the Golden Core Zen Ren and frequently hunting monster beasts, he certainly wasn’t short on Spirit Stone resources.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Hearing this, Lin Yi no longer refused. He gave a fist and palm salute, then accepted the Storage Symbol. The patterns drawn on it were more profound than those of the Raging Fire Talisman or other basic talisman papers. Simply studying this talisman wouldn’t allow one to reverse engineer the method of creating Storage Symbols.

“No need for formalities, I should get going,” Li Yuan Qing waved off, put the monster beast meat on the table into his Storage Bag, and then left the small market.

Pretending to also leave the small market, Lin Yi walked some distance, slapped on a Swift Movement Talisman, activated Gale Step, and chased after the direction Li Yuan Qing left in, hoping Senior Brother Li wouldn’t fly too fast.

The Outer Sect of Liu Yun Sect was allowed to use flying swords for traveling, but after entering the Inner Sect, unless you were a Golden Core Zen Ren, all must land from their swords and enter on foot. Otherwise, they would be directly shot down.

After a frantic chase, finally, not far from the Inner Sect, he spotted Li Yuan Qing, who was leisurely cruising with his flying sword. It seemed more like he was out for a leisurely stroll. Lin Yi hurriedly yelled, “Senior Brother Li, please hold on… I’m down here.”

Li Yuan Qing looked around, with a puzzled expression on his face. After Lin Yi’s reminder, he finally noticed Lin Yi running hysterically on the mountain trail. He flew down quickly, landing, “Why are you in such a hurry to catch up with me? What is it?” he asked.

“Senior Brother Li, there were too many people around earlier, so it wasn’t the right time to bring up this. So, if my words offend you in any way, please forgive me. I’d like to hire you for a job, and I’m wondering how many Spirit Stones I need to prepare,” Lin Yi saluted with a fist and palm, then stated his intentions.

Li Yuan Qing slightly knitted his brows, and with a flick of his finger, a transparent light curtain appeared around them. He looked calmly at Lin Yi, asking, “Are you trying to kill somebody, or do you need protection? My sword only slashes at those who deserve to be killed.”

“I certainly wouldn’t dare to cause blood to stain your sword, Senior Brother. It’s just for protection. The target isn’t a Foundation Building Cultivator,” Lin Yi quickly explained. It was in his plan to hire a strong cultivator to ensure a high success rate.

Before this, he hadn’t considered Li Yuan Qing. Given his high status as a disciple under the Golden Core Zen Ren, Lin Yi didn’t believe he could afford him.

However, today, Li Yuan Qing purchased many talismans and had such a

magnanimous demeanor, so he decided to give it a try impulsively.

“When I was buying talismans, you could have tried to leverage them to increase my chances of agreeing. But you didn’t. This pleases me.” At this point, Li Yuan Qing didn’t respond to whether he would agree, instead, he brought up the matter of purchasing talismans.

Lin Yi silently rejoiced and saluted again, “Senior Brother has treated me well. I wouldn’t dare to use cunning tricks.”

At the time, he had indeed contemplated on gifting the talismans to Li Yuan Qing before making his request. However, he later decided that sincerity mattered most.

“When is the day of action? If I happen to be occupied, I can only apologize,” Li Yuan Qing asked. His face still showed no change, his tone remaining indifferent.

“The exact date hasn’t been determined yet. Once it’s decided, I will inform Senior Brother in advance.” Lin Yi shook his head. Whether his plan could be executed depended on the situation at Sinong Palace.

Today, Li Yuan Qing had hinted at an imminent shift in power at Sinong Palace. This had allowed Lin Yi’s plan to proceed smoothly. Next, he had to see if things would unfold as he envisioned.

Li Yuan Qing then tossed over a talisman, “This is my Sound Transmission Talisman, it’s a one-time use. After setting the date, transmit the message to me.” Saying that, he took off on his flying sword, heading towards the Inner

Dec L.

Lin Yi quickly saluted as he watched Li Yuan Qing leave. Turning around, he looked at the Sound Transmission Talisman in his hand, a smile crossing his face. With Li Yuan Qing joining, success was now only a step away.

Afterward, he returned home. Taking out the Storage Symbol from his pocket, his face bore an expression of contemplation. This tool was truly a luxury that low-level cultivators could not afford. Many Qi refining cultivators didn’t have many Spirit Stones saved up and wouldn’t likely use twenty Spirit Stones to buy it.

The reason why the Storage Symbol was so expensive was due to the rarity of its required materials and the incredible difficulty in its creation. The failure rate for junior Talisman Masters could be as high as ninety-five percent. As for higher level Talisman Masters, since there weren’t many cultivators buying it, they wouldn’t bother creating this non-essential talisman.

Another key reason was that the Basic Talisman Manual did not include the Storage Symbol. It must be purchased from a talisman shop. The price in the previous owner’s memory seemed to be over a hundred Spirit Stones, but he didn’t know the specific price.

Learning a Storage Symbol involved a Scripture Jade Slip, which had some usage limitations. After learning it, you couldn’t teach it to others.

Therefore, according to the novice talisman craftsmen, no one was making this talisman. With the high failure rate and the cost of learning and obtaining materials for a talisman reaching hundreds of spirit stones, it was just not worth it.

Even now with his Great Achievement Level novice tailsmen crafting ability and the [Talisman Craftmanship Novice] 20% success rate, he didn’t want to make this talisman just yet. Studying the talisman and obtaining materials were too expensive, there weren’t many buyers, and it was hard to make a profit.

He decided to focus on crafting basic talismans to earn more spirit stones to meet his daily cultivation needs before considering anything else..
