Looking at the innocent face of the burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator, along with his expectant gaze, and the stack of "Tier One Talisman Making Inheritance" he pulled out from behind him, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.
"So, this is the kind of Tier One Talisman Making Inheritance, and it costs one Lower Grade Spirit Stone per book..."
Initially, he thought this talisman-making inheritance was sothing quite remarkable.
However, on second thought, not every Tier One Talisman Maker can craft all Tier One Talismans.
Although Tier One Talismans are used at the Qi Refining Level, they cover a wide range with a plethora of types.
Many talisman makers only know how to create a small portion of them.
As for the burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator in front of him, although he could only craft talismans related to Basic Five Elents Magic, he could barely be considered a Tier One Lower Grade Talisman Maker.
Therefore, his written thods and experiences in talisman making could be called a Tier One Talisman Making Inheritance, even if it was far from what Qi Chuan had envisioned.
"Why don’t you buy a few more? I can give you a twenty percent discount, how about that?"
As Qi Chuan felt speechless inwardly, the burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator looked at him eagerly and spoke again.
"No need, thank you." Qi Chuan shook his head slightly upon hearing this.
Seeing this, the burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator’s eyes dimd instantly, filled with a look of disappointnt.
"However, selling for only one Lower Grade Spirit Stone per book, should I buy one to try my hand at talisman making?" Qi Chuan suddenly thought to himself.
After all, he possessed the Hundredfold Critical Strike; taking the path of talisman making would certainly work for him.
Although this "Tier One Talisman Making Inheritance" contains only five of the most basic talismans, it could serve as practice and act as a stepping stone into talisman making.
Moreover, talismans like the Fireball Talisman and Water Arrow Talisman, when crafted by the burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator, could only reach Tier One Lower Grade, not worth much Spirit Stone.
But in his hands, it would be a different story.
After all, his Basic Five Elents Magic had already reached the Great Success Level, and a talisman maker’s mastery of relevant magic could provide a boost to talisman making.
For instance, two talisman makers of the sa level crafting a Fireball Talisman, one has only Entry Level mastery of the Fireball Technique while the other has Perfection Level mastery. Undoubtedly, the latter would produce a talisman of higher quality.
Moreover, with his Hundredfold Critical Strike, his talisman-making skill could continuously improve.
In this case, even crafting the most basic talismans like the Fireball Talisman, he could craft a Tier One Upper Grade Talisman or even a Tier One Top Grade Talisman.
While a Tier One Lower Grade Fireball Talisman is cheap, a Tier One Upper Grade or Tier One Top Grade Fireball Talisman is extrely valuable.
"Originally, I needed large amounts of Spirit Stone for cultivating the second and third layers of the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body, as well as purchasing Gathering Essence Pills to enhance mana. Although I currently have a bit of savings, they will soon be depleted."
"I could completely elevate my talisman-making skill and then produce a large number of Tier One Upper Grade or Tier One Top Grade Fireball Talismans and other talismans, sell them, and exchange for Spirit Stone to support my cultivation."
Upon thinking of this, Qi Chuan found the Tier One Talisman Making Inheritance for one Lower Grade Spirit Stone per book very practical.
"I’ll take one, after all."
So, Qi Chuan took out a Lower Grade Spirit Stone and handed it to the burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator, saying.
"Alright, alright, thank you!"
Seeing the Lower Grade Spirit Stone, the burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator’s eyes lit up instantly. He quickly expressed his thanks, then imdiately picked up a copy of the Tier One Talisman Making Inheritance and handed it to Qi Chuan, afraid he might regret it.
"Let also give you a few talismans."
The burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator thought for a mont and took a Fireball Talisman and other Five Elents Talismans from his stall, offering them to Qi Chuan.
"...No need, thanks."
Qi Chuan glanced at the five crudely made Tier One Lower Grade Talismans, fell silent for a mont, then finally shook his head, saying.
Such talismans are not powerful and utterly useless to him.
After pocketing the Tier One Talisman Making Inheritance, Qi Chuan turned and headed toward the market’s exit in the valley, leaving without hesitation.
"Such a wealthy cultivator, to even refuse free talismans."
The burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator, gazing at Qi Chuan’s departing back, muttered to himself with a hint of lant.
...
Qi Chuan used the Floating Technique to fly out of the market in the valley, but after leaving the hilly area near the market, he dispelled the magic and landed.
Maintaining the Floating Technique continuously was quite the mana drain. At the Qi Refining Level, almost every cultivator was cautious in their mana usage.
If he kept flying using the Floating Technique, he might run out of mana before reaching the Wind Moon Sect.
Upon landing, Qi Chuan chose his direction, heading toward the Wind Moon Sect.
As a cultivator, even traveling on foot was relatively fast.
Nevertheless, as he continued, Qi Chuan wrinkled his brow slightly and cast a glance backward.
In that direction, he could sense a foreign presence, a cultivator employing the Invisibility Technique trailing behind him.
The opponent’s actions made their intent quite clear.
"Who would have thought, a simple trip to the market, would bring a minor nuisance along?"
"Is it soone from Qingfeng Pavilion, the Loose Cultivator who sold the inheritance, or perhaps another opportunist in the market?"
Upon realizing this, Qi Chuan sighed slightly, contemplating within.
Who this Tribulation Cultivator was, Qi Chuan had no idea; he rely quickened his pace.
However, as he accelerated, he sensed the hidden Tribulation Cultivator also sped up, persisting in pursuit.
"Could it be that I was too low-profile?"
Realizing the other wouldn’t give up, Qi Chuan sighed once more and halted.
He sensed the Tribulation Cultivator behind him wasn’t strong, rely at the Qi Refining Third Layer.
Such a small fry dared to provoke him?
Qi Chuan turned, speaking calmly: "Co on out, I’ve noticed you."
"Heh heh... since you’ve discovered , I might as well not hide."
A gruff voice echoed.
Soon after, not far away, an initially invisible airspace revealed a burly figure gradually, appearing robust.
It was none other than the burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator who had sold him the Tier One Talisman Making Inheritance.
"It’s you?"
"I didn’t expect you to sell talismans and have such a side job."
Staring at the burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator, Qi Chuan spoke with a calm deanor, slightly surprised yet not entirely.
"Heh heh, selling cheap, common Tier One Lower Grade Talismans doesn’t earn as much as being a Tribulation Cultivator, does it? You even refused the talismans I gifted, you seem like a wealthy man."
"Enough nonsense, hand over your Spirit Stones, and I’ll let you die a quick death."
The burly, robust middle-aged Loose Cultivator smiled warmly, then inserted his hands into his robe, producing a stack of Fireball Talismans and a stack of Water Arrow Talismans, eyes fixed on Qi Chuan.
In his view, given the young age of the opponent, his cultivation must be insignificant.
With so many talismans in hand and his own cultivation at the Qi Refining Third Layer, he was confident this task was a walk in the park.
To this, Qi Chuan was left speechless.
He realized he had been too modest and unassertive, leading the other to misjudge him as weak.
Indeed, in the Cultivation Realm, when possessing strength, one must assert oneself when necessary, rather than cautiously treating ants with care.
Thinking thus, jade-like glows gradually erged on Qi Chuan’s skin, eventually enveloping his entire body.
The resplendent glow gave Qi Chuan an ethereal, dignified appearance, like a jade figure, exuding a mysterious aura.
Whoosh!
In Qi Chuan’s eyes, even jade tints seed to cast forth, his gaze locking onto the distant burly middle-aged Loose Cultivator. Bending his knees slightly, power gathered, and with an explosive sound, the ground cracked before he transford into a streak of jade light, surging forth.
