What slightly reassured Chu Ning was that nothing unusual happened that night.
After getting up in the morning, Chu Ning continued cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique and also practiced the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique and Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique once each.
He had fully recovered his state.
[Refining Spirit Technique, First Layer 145/1000]
Taking a glance at the progress of his Refining Spirit Technique, Chu Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.
Yesterday, amidst his frantic talisman-making and divine sense cultivation, his Refining Spirit Technique skill level surprisingly increased by 4 points in just one day.
Normally, it would only increase by 2 points.
However, Chu Ning also felt that such high-intensity use and recovery of divine sense still left him feeling fatigued.
Obviously, this thod wasn’t sustainable.
The intensity could be reduced a bit, and it should be fine.
By mid-morning, Chu Ning opened the shop doors, and indeed, cultivators who wanted to buy talismans but couldn’t the day before ca in.
Chu Ning took the opportunity to gather so information and learned that a beast disaster occurred again last night.
However, this attack wasn’t limited to the Yangling Li Family; so neighboring cultivation clans were also attacked.
Fortunately, everyone was more prepared this ti, and the attacks were repelled by various major cultivation clans before dawn.
Additionally, the losses suffered by the clans were clearly not as severe as those of the Yangling Li Family.
At the sa ti, Chu Ning also learned that indeed many loose cultivators had already appeared near Yangling.
In fact, that morning, Chu Ning sold more talismans to a few passing loose cultivators.
After selling most of the talismans he had, Chu Ning closed the doors to make more.
Moreover, he didn’t open the shop doors again that afternoon.
During half the day and most of the evening, Chu Ning crafted quite a few Basic Middle Grade Talismans and Basic Lower Grade Talismans.
Only on the morning of the third day did he reopen the shop and resu selling talismans.
Compared to the day before, the clientele had changed significantly.
The previous day, most custors were people from various major cultivation clans.
They hadn’t bought anything on market opening day and ca knowing Chu Ning would restock, even when it wasn’t market day.
Today, however, the primary custors were loose cultivators from other regions, so the purchasing volu was naturally less than the previous two days.
Chu Ning wasn’t bothered and took the opportunity to draw so more Basic Lower Grade Talismans.
After all, another market opening day was coming, and he wasn’t sure if the other Cyan Creek Sect shops would open.
Chu Ning, anyway, was prepared to conduct normal business operations.
Rather than fighting and struggling outside, he would rather sell talismans safely in the market.
On the third day, the market reopened, and still, no one from Cyan Creek Sect had returned.
Chu Ning continued to open as usual, though the crowd was noticeably smaller than usual.
However, with several consecutive days of offering high-quality Basic Middle Grade Talismans, his talisman shop quickly gained a reputation in the area.
As a result, people continued to co by sporadically to purchase talismans.
By midday, seeing that the market was quiet, Chu Ning prepared to pack away the talismans on the counter.
At that mont, more than a dozen figures approached from the distance down the street.
Upon closer look, it was mbers of his own sect.
At the forefront was Gu Xiaoqing, alongside a tall and sturdy cultivator, followed by Shen Zhengquan, Luo Yiping, Lu Miaoying, and others.
Additionally, there were over ten others wearing Cyan Creek Sect robes, likely disciples who ca to provide reinforcents.
Yet, for so reason, Du Han wasn’t among them.
Chu Ning saw them, and naturally, everyone else also noticed Chu Ning holding True Talismans.
"Chu Ning!" Luo Yiping was the first to shout.
He quickly rushed over, pointing at the talismans in Chu Ning’s hand and angrily exclaid:
"You have so many talismans in hand, yet you told us the other day that you were out?
Do you know how difficult our situation was this ti? If we had so talismans, we definitely wouldn’t be in such a sorry state."
On hearing Luo Yiping’s words, Chu Ning couldn’t help but look at the group in astonishnt.
With their late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, plus the presence of Du Han, almost at Qi Refining Perfection.
And considering the group that followed, it was evident the sect had sent reinforcents.
Yet, in facing so low-tier demon beasts, how could they be so helpless?
However, when Chu Ning looked at the others.
Shen Zhengquan’s face was also full of anger, and his robe had four or five torn holes.
Even Gu Xiaoqing had slightly ssy hair, and at this mont, she looked at Chu Ning with her delicate brow furrowed.
"What, nothing to say?"
Luo Yiping stared intently at Chu Ning, his voice filled with rage.
Although Chu Ning didn’t understand why they were in such a state.
But since Luo Yiping was venting his anger on him, Chu Ning certainly wouldn’t admit fault.
In front of so many fellow sect mbers, he wouldn’t accept bla for lacking sect loyalty.
Chu Ning calmly t Luo Yiping’s gaze, "These talismans are ones I drew myself."
"Hah!" Luo Yiping imdiately scoffed.
"Do you really take us for fools?
You sold so many high-quality talismans at this Talisman Workshop, and it seems you also sold a lot over the past two days. You think these were all made by you?"
Shen Zhengquan’s voice chid in at this mont.
"Junior Brother Luo, let it be, let’s wait for Steward Lin and Senior Brother Du to return and inform them."
Gu Xiaoqing hesitated slightly, then sighed softly and looked at Chu Ning with her bright eyes.
