After handing over the refined talismans to the Treasure Tower Master, Lu Qing took his leave.
Although he valued Spirit Stones greatly, professional tasks were best left to the professionals.
In terms of selling talismans, the Treasure Tower was far more skilled than he was.
He just needed to ensure a sufficient supply, and he didn’t want to involve himself too much in the other aspects.
Moreover, after cultivating in the Cave Mansion for a night and feeling his cultivation improve.
Lu Qing now wanted to continue his closed-door training even more.
He aimed to break through the bottleneck soon and enter the Golden Core Fourth Transition realm.
After returning to the Cave Mansion, Lu Qing put up a sign refusing visitors.
Immediately after, he activated the Defensive Array within the mansion and entered a closed-door state.
This time, he planned not to emerge unless something extremely important came up.
Otherwise, he would remain in closed-door training until he broke through.
While Lu Qing was in closed-door training, the Treasure Tower was also taking action.
First, they removed all the talismans previously on sale from the shelves, replacing them with talismans refined by Lu Qing.
Additionally, they sent some talismans to branch towers in other districts for trial sales.
Next, they just had to wait for customers to arrive.
However, there was a minor incident when they removed the talismans previously on sale.
The talisman makers whose talismans were taken down all came forward to ask what was happening.
Among them, Master Qiu reacted most intensely.
"Zi Yuan, what’s the matter here? Why were all the talismans I refined removed from the front hall?!"
Master Qiu immediately approached Zi Yuan, who had recently been promoted by the Treasure Tower Master to manage the front hall affairs, and asked aggressively.
"Master Qiu, please calm down. This is the Tower Master’s intention. Our tower is introducing a batch of new talismans.
The talismans currently on sale will be temporarily paused.
Once the new talismans bee popular and the sales stabilize, the original talismans will gradually be put back on sale."
Zi Yuan explained patiently with a smile.
"Introducing a batch of new talismans! Are these talismans refined by the chief Talisman Maker?" Master Qiu’s expression changed.
"Indeed, it’s the talismans refined by Senior Lu." Zi Yuan nodded.
Master Qiu fell silent immediately.
But soon, his momentum picked up again: "Even if you’re introducing Mr. Lu’s talismans, there’s no reason to remove ours from sale!
You do know that the talismans I refined are among the highest quality and best-selling talismans in the tower!"
"This is a mand directly from the Tower Master, and Zi Yuan is just following orders."
Despite Master Qiu’s overbearing demeanor, Zi Yuan still patiently responded with a smile.
But in her heart, she couldn’t help but feel disdain.
This old fellow dares to speak.
Every time he refines talismans, he demands the most and rarest materials.
As a result, the talismans he produces are naturally of decent quality.
But with such high costs, even if the tower sells them, it hardly makes any profit.
Instead, this old fellow, with his share, gets to feast fortably.
What’s worse is that not only does he act this way himself, but his disciples and apprentices do as well.
They like to use good materials and often waste them, even pocketing some for themselves.
Previously, the Tower Master tolerated this because the tower indeed lacked excellent Talisman Makers.
Now that they have Senior Lu, this old fellow’s good days are numbered.
Zi Yuan was well aware of the inside story, but she certainly had no intention of kindly reminding Master Qiu.
She just perfunctorily attributed all the reasons to the Tower Master’s orders.
In short, Master Qiu and his group’s talismans were inevitably being put off the shelves temporarily.
As for when they would be restocked for sale, the date was yet to be determined.
Then, after being perfunctorily dealt with by Zi Yuan, and having failed to achieve his demands, Master Qiu indeed grew impatient.
With a wave of his sleeve, he said, "I can’t reason with you, I’m going to find the Tower Master now!"
