Several days later.Ruyi Tower. “Brother Lu, I’ve gathered some information. Three hundred miles away from Ruyi County, there’s a gathering of Rouge Cultivators at Niutou Mountain. They’re holding a trade gathering, and it’s expected to last for another five or six days.” “If you’re interested in attending, take this communication talisman to Niutou Mountain. Someone will open the formation and let you in.” Hong Yi knocked on the door and spoke to Lu Changsheng. As he spoke, he took out a brown talisman. “Thank you, Brother Hong. I’m sure you went through a lot of trouble to get this. Here are three low-grade first-class talismans I’ve drawn myself, consider them a token of gratitude.” As Lu Changsheng said this, he handed Hong Yi three low-grade first-tier talismans. This communication talsiman was a basic talisman and wasn’t particularly valuable. However, the fact that the other party had gone out of his way to get them for him meant that he had put in some effort. Of course, when it came to mutual favors, Lu Changsen wouldn’t let the other person lose out. Besides, Hong Yi also had a certain status in the secular world, and Lu Changsen was willing to maintain that relationship. Who knew, in the future, when his children settled in the secular world, he might have to trouble Hong Yi. Hong Yi was a little jealous when he saw Lu Changsheng’s three talismans. But he still waved his hand and said, “Brother Lu, you’re too kind. This really didn’t cost me much.” “Brother Hong, with you being so polite, I won’t be able to ask for your help in the future.” Lu Changsheng said as he handed the talismans to Hong Yi. “In that case, I’ll graciously accept!” Seeing this, Hong Yi accepted the talisman without refusing. Then he clasped his hands and said, “Brother Lu, I still have some connections in Ruyi County. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask.” Now that Lu Changsheng had become a talisman master and was so generous, Hong Yi naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship with him. “All right, if there is anything in the future, I will not hesitate to ask,” Lu Changsheng cupped his hands. “By the way, Brother Lu, if you go to such a gathering, you have to be careful.” “These gatherings of Rouge Cultivators are a mixed bag, with no great cultivators to keep things in check. It’s common for them to target lone cultivators.” “If Brother Lu is going to sell the talismans, if the quantity is not large, I can trade with Brother Lu on behalf of the Ruyi Marquisate and accept them all.” Hong Yi added, noticing that Lu Changsheng had taken out three talismans. He speculated that Lu Changsheng probably had a lot of talismans and probably intended to sell them. In the secular world, many prominent people knew about cultivation and practiced it themselves. The Ruyi Marquisate was no exception, as it had more than one cultivator. However, they were all Qi Refining level cultivators, slightly better than ordinary Rouge level cultivators. Of course, there was a demand for talismans, as they were essential items. Even though he could buy low-level talismans elsewhere, buying from Lu Changsheng wasn’t just about getting a bargain. It was a way to deepen their relationship and exchange benefits. Lu Changsheng was currently a first-tier low-grade talisman master. There was hope for him to advance to the second tier, or even become a first tier high-grade talisman master in the future. If he could draw first-tier high-grade talismans, it would be a game changer. It would also help his position in the Ruyi Marquisate to have a connection with a first-tier high-grade talisman master who could provide him with a stable source of talismans. If their relationship improved in the future, and Lu Changsheng could provide him with a large amount of talismans at a lower price than the market, he would make a substantial profit. He might even be able to compete for the position of heir to the Marquisate. “Thank you for your concern, Brother Hong. I will be careful about this.” “I don’t have many talismans. They are mainly for my own protection. But if Brother Hong needs any, I can sell you some at a discount.” Lu Changsheng smiled and took out ten first-tier low-grade talismans.

When he revealed himself as a first-tier talisman master in the Lu Family, he had accumulated nearly five hundred talismans. In those six months, he had accumulated about five hundred talismans with the materials provided by the Lu family every month. In other words, he now had nearly a thousand talismans with him. It was a rather exaggerated and astonishing number. Among these talismans, about half were low-grade, and the other half were medium-grade. If they were converted into spirit stones, it would be about two to three thousand spirit stones. Of course, if they kept a low profile, such things wouldn’t be revealed. If Hong Yi wanted them, he was willing to sell them at a low price. After all, Lu Changsheng himself was aware that it was simply impossible to sell nearly a thousand talismans at this Rouge Cultivator Trade Fair. He didn’t dare to do it either. “How can I accept this? Just follow the market price,” Hong Yi said. He wouldn’t be greedy for small benefits from the beginning. “Brother Hong, take a look and see if you can use these talismans,” Lu Changsheng handed the talismans to Hong Yi. “I didn’t expect Brother Lu to be able to draw healing talismans! It looks like Brother Lu will soon become a mid-level talisman master!” Hong Yi exclaimed when he saw one of the talismans. Although he didn’t understand how to draw talismans, he was aware of their prices. For example, a low-grade first-class talisman would cost between 1 and 2 Spirit Stones, depending on the difficulty. And a healing talisman, being a low-grade talisman of two spirit stones, had a higher drawing difficulty. “I only managed to draw a few,” Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said When he first considered making money, most of the first-order low-grade talismans in his hands were of higher difficulty. “I’ll take all these talismans, but I don’t have that many Spirit Stones with me right now. I’ll have to go back and ask my father for spirit stones before I can trade with Brother Lu.” Hong Yi was a little embarrassed to speak. Even though he was the son of the Marquis of Ruyi, he didn’t have many spirit stones. Besides, he couldn’t save up spirit stones because he had to cultivate regularly. “It’s not urgent. Brother Hong, take these talismans first. I plan to ride to Niutou Mountain to attend the trade meeting and visit home on the way.” “The spirit horse will be temporarily left with Brother Hong, and I’ll come back for it later.” Lu Changsheng said generously. He wasn’t afraid that Hong Yi would hold a grudge against him because of these talismans. If the other party really did, then he would use these talismans to see a person’s true nature. “Thank you, Brother Lu. Rest assured, I will take good care of the spirit horse.” Hong Yi replied, folding his hands. He took these talismans back without spending any money, which made it easier for his father to believe that he had a close relationship with the talisman master Lu Changsheng. “No problem, Brother Hong.” Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, then took a horse and rode towards Niutou Mountain in Nanyu Prefecture. He didn’t have a beast pouch, and he didn’t know if he could ride the spirit horse into Niutou Mountain. To avoid this trouble, he decided to ride a horse instead, not worrying about losing it. After riding the spirit horse for so long and becoming a cultivator, riding an ordinary horse was no challenge for him. The next day, as dawn broke on a slightly chilly day, Lu Changsheng rode his horse from Ruyi County to Niutou Mountain. First, he found a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain and left the horse there. Then he climbed the mountain by himself and reached an uninhabited place, where he put on the human skin mask he had bought in advance from his storage bag. Suddenly the handsome face turned into that of a young man with sallow skin and some dullness. Next, he put on a large black cloak and hood. With the hood covering his entire body, his facial features and hair were completely hidden, making it impossible to discern his appearance. After completing these preparations, Lu Changsheng continued to climb up the mountain, heading for a slope on the north side of Niutou Mountain. According to the villagers, this slope is shrouded in white fog all year round, but Lu Changsheng saw faint spiritual fluctuations through his Spiritual Eye technique and knew immediately that it was a formation. “This should be it.” Lu Changsheng looked at the mist in front of him and knew that this was his destination. He took out the communication talisman Hong Yi had given him and activated it with his spiritual energy. Suddenly, the talisman flew out of his hand and disappeared into the fog on the slope. Lu Changsheng waited calmly for about a cup of tea time. He saw the fog roll away in front of him, revealing a narrow mountain path that seemed to go on forever. After examining the path for a while, Lu Changsheng took a step forward and entered the path.
