I could feel that Lin Yi's father's breathing was already a bit hurried, although he was trying his best to hide it, it couldn't escape my senses.
The old man's expression was calm, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. However, I felt that his excitement wasn't because of the peach wood talisman, but because he seemed to have found the correct direction of cultivation.
Using this chance, Lin Yi's father and the old man got to know each other. Only then did they find out that the old man was called Dong Yingdong.
The audition had already started, the guests started to walk in one after another. At this moment, a young man carried a very exquisite leather case over. The young man was around thirty years old, wearing a well-ironed suit, he was very handsome.
"Elder Dong, the money is here, five hundred thousand, please check it," the young man said.
"Huzi, it's been hard on you," Elder Dong said.
Elder Dong opened the case, and handed it in front of Lin Yi's father, "Boss Lin, please check it."
Elder Dong only opened the case a little, he probably didn't want others to know that the case was full of money to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Lin Yi's father carefully avoided the angle, opened the case and checked it, then nodded, "No problem. It's five hundred thousand. "
Lin Yi's father was about to take out the money in the case, and put it into his bag, but Elder Dong stopped him. However, Elder Dong reached out and stopped him. "A box isn't worth much. Consider it my meeting gift to you. So much money, it's too eye-catching, you have to be careful. "
Lin Yi's father didn't refuse, and thanked him, "Then thank you, Elder Dong."
Although Lin Yi's father took Elder Dong's case, he gave Elder Dong an extra normal talisman.
"There's one more," when Elder Dong checked the talismans, he found that the number didn't decrease, but increased.
"Elder Dong is our first customer today, this talisman is Elder Dong's opening gift to us," Lin Yi's father smiled.
"Then thank you," Elder Dong didn't hold back, and accepted it.
Lin Yi's father closed the case, and wasn't in a hurry to deposit the money in the bank.
Coincidentally, there was someone in the crowd who knew Elder Dong. As soon as he saw Elder Dong, he immediately greeted him.
"Elder Dong, why are you here?" The person who came was about the same age as Elder Dong, but his hair was white and he had a weak aura. However, I am dressed like a Daoist. There are many people coming and going at the scene, but I haven't seen anyone with real cultivation. Cultivators like Zhao Daozhang naturally didn't notice.
"Hehe, we have a great harvest today," Elder Dong immediately started talking about our talismans.
"Are you serious?" The man didn't believe him.
"Why would I lie to you, Old Yi?" Elder Dong said snappily.
"That is true. But is this talisman really as good as you say? "The old man surnamed Yi asked suspiciously.
Elder Dong took out an ordinary amulet and handed it to the old man surnamed Yi. "Take a look for yourself. You don't even believe my words. "
"Eh?" Elder Yi had just received the amulet, so he could naturally sense the pure Yuan Qi within it. Although they can sense Yuan Qi with their cultivation, it is very difficult to obtain such pure Yuan Qi.
The old man surnamed Yi felt the pure Yuan Qi within the amulet, and asked excitedly. "Where did you buy it?"
"Here, right here," Elder Dong pointed at our stall.
The old man surnamed Yi immediately walked over. "Hello, this humble one is Yi Dazhu, Dong Yingdong's good friend. Do you have more of these talismans here? "
Lin Yi's father hurriedly introduced himself excitedly. "I'm called Lin Jingwei. We still have a large supply of amulets here. "
"How many do you have, I want them all!" This Yi Dazhu was much more forthright than Dong Yingdong.
"You want them all? Do you think those are cabbages? "Dong Yingdong smiled.
"How much for one?" Yi Dazhu asked.
"Ten thousand," Lin Yi's father said calmly.
"Ah, it really isn't cheap. But this amulet is really worth this price, "Yi Dazhu was speaking the truth, this kind of amulet was not something that an ordinary cultivator could make. Moreover, even if a cultivator with similar cultivation as me made this amulet, the price would definitely not be lower than mine. I'm afraid it is not something that can be bought with money.
"Actually, this is not their best amulet. Originally, they had a better one. But now, it is already in my pocket, "Dong Yingdong said with a laugh.
"Let me see!" When Yi Dazhu heard that there was something better than an ordinary amulet, how could he resist the temptation?
"No, it is already in your hands, how can I get it back? One hundred thousand for one. The most important thing is, there are only four of them. Don't even think about it. " Dong Yingdong acted like he was protecting a treasure, and retreated a few steps, avoiding Yi Dazhu's outstretched hand.
"Old Dong, you are too mean. We have been friends for so many years, you got something good, but you didn't even share it with me, "Yi Dazhu said with dissatisfaction.
"Alright, Old Yi, you know what? I really don't know what to do with you. " Dong Yingdong had already prepared one for Yi Dazhu, and took out a peach wood amulet from his pocket. He handed it to Yi Dazhu.
Yi Dazhu received it, and opened his eyes wide, "This, this … Xiao Lin, did you make this amulet?"
Yi Dazhu suddenly grabbed Lin Yi's father's arm excitedly.
"Ah? No, no, Old Yi, you might have misunderstood. If I had this ability, would I still need to set up a stall here? "Lin Yi's father chuckled.
Yi Dazhu let go of Lin Yi's father's hand, and sighed, "Ai. What a pity. Oh yeah, you should know where this senior is. Can you introduce me to this senior? "
Lin Yi's father subconsciously looked at me, then quickly covered it up and said, "About this, it isn't easy for me to meet that master, but the next time I see that master, I can pass on your request."
Yi Dazhu glanced at me. Fortunately, my age was very confusing. Although Yi Dazhu looked at me, he didn't think that I was that master. In their impression, this master's image should be white haired.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Yi Dazhu didn't dare to offend Lin Yi, a master who could make such a powerful amulet made them very afraid. Although Lin Yi's father was an ordinary person, this was an ordinary person who was related to a master, so he wasn't an ordinary person.
Yi Dazhu and Dong Yingdong looked like people with a certain status in society, but compared to cultivators, they could only be considered as beginners. Moreover, what was the status in the secular world compared to the world of cultivation? Unless it was a cultivation family. In today's world, there weren't many true cultivation families. The world of cultivation was ruined, so how much power could those cultivation families have left?
That night, from Daoist Zhao's words, I had a certain understanding of the current cultivation world. True cultivators were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. This was also the reason why I dared to ask for ten thousand renminbi for an ordinary amulet. Jin City was the provincial capital, and even the most prosperous area of the city only sold for three to four thousand renminbi per square meter. The average price of a commercial house in Jin City was only around a thousand renminbi. Ten thousand renminbi was a lot of purchasing power. After all, this was 2003.
Dong Yingdong and Yi Dazhu looked a little depressed as they couldn't get any information about the master from Lin Yi's father. Although Yi Dazhu didn't buy all of our amulets, he still bought more than twenty Vitality Amulets. He bought two hundred thousand renminbi worth of items in one go, it could be said that he spent a lot of money.
Although Yi Dazhu and Dong Yingdong didn't buy all of their Vitality Amulets, many people who were attending the Daoist Culture Conference rushed to buy more amulets. Most of the people who came to the Daoist Culture Conference didn't know anything about cultivation. However, there were still a few who had some insight. Although there weren't any masters, there were a few who were at the beginner level like Yi Dazhu and Dong Yingdong. Naturally, they could see the benefits of the Vitality Amulets. The price of ten thousand renminbi made many people give up, but there were still some who didn't lack money. After a while, we didn't have many amulets left.
At this time, a group of people came, surrounding a Daoist priest. I immediately felt the fluctuation of Vitality from this Daoist priest. However, his cultivation wasn't high, and he was a lot weaker than Daoist Priest Zhao. However, compared to Yi Dazhu and Dong Yingdong, he was a lot stronger, and he could be considered to have built his foundation. However, looking at his oily face, I guessed that he spent most of his time outside of cultivation. He wasn't as carefree as Daoist Priest Zhao! He was about forty or fifty years old, and I guessed that he didn't have any hope of advancing on the path of cultivation.
However, he still had some insight, and he saw the amulets on our booth. He immediately squeezed out of the crowd and walked to our booth.
"Your talisman crafting skills are pretty good. Did you make it? " The Daoist priest walked to the booth and looked down at Lin Yi's father. He felt that Lin Yi's father was just an ordinary person, and he was asking the obvious.
"Daoist priest must be joking, how could I make Vitality Amulets? At most, I can make some scribbles. "Lin Yi's father laughed.
"Haha, you are also a very interesting person. Your talisman crafting skills are pretty good. Recently, I have been busy cultivating, and didn't have time to craft talismans, but there are too many people coming to my temple to ask for talismans. In order to satisfy the needs of these people, I have no time to cultivate. Your talismans are pretty good, how about you provide talismans for my temple in the future, what do you think? "The Daoist priest said.
"Aiya, you are rich. This is Daoist Priest Hongyi from Mount Mo Laojun Temple, an expert. Since he took a fancy to your talismans, you won't have to worry about sales in the future. "Immediately, someone looked at Lin Yi's father with envy.
Lin Yi's father didn't change his expression, and calmly asked, "Of course this is a good thing. However, this talisman was not made by me, but by an expert cultivator. It is not cheap, if Daoist priest gives a suitable price, then it is not a problem. "
"Oh?" Daoist Priest Hongyi softly said, "How much do you want to buy one of these talismans?"
"This kind of talisman costs ten thousand each. There is also a peach wood talisman that costs a hundred thousand each. This is the price set by that expert, I don't dare to change it. "Lin Yi's father said.
"No way, you dare to ask for ten thousand for such a talisman? Are you sure you are not crazy about money? "Immediately, someone in the crowd said loudly.
"That's right, even if you ask for a consecrated talisman in an ancient temple, it wouldn't cost ten thousand, right?"
"That's right, that's right."
This group of people didn't notice that Daoist Priest Hongyi's face was a bit ugly. The so-called consecrated talismans in the temple had always been competing with Daoist Priest Hongyi's talismans, okay? Although they wanted to help Daoist Priest Hongyi suppress the talisman's price, they couldn't use such a method, right?
"Shut up!" Daoist Priest Hongyi shouted.
The surrounding people finally quieted down.
"Did I say that this talisman is not worth ten thousand? Did I say that this talisman is too expensive? This talisman's craftsmanship is on par with mine, a talisman can save a life at a critical moment. Can the talismans you ask for from those ancient temples do that? "Daoist Priest Hongyi questioned.
"Daoist priest, can this talisman really do that?" Someone asked.
Daoist Priest Hongyi smiled disdainfully and said, "If you don't believe me, you can buy a talisman and do an experiment. You can take the talisman and let a car hit you directly. If you die, I will compensate you with my life."
"Ah?"
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
"That. Can you give me a discount? Can you give me a wholesale price? " What surprised everyone was that Daoist Priest Hongyi was actually negotiating with Lin Yi's father. Was this still the same Daoist priest with the aura of a transcendent being?
I couldn't help but chuckle.
Daoist Priest Hongyi glanced at me and didn't care. His old face seemed to blush a little. However, his old face was like an iron plate, and there wasn't any obvious change.
Daoist Priest Hongyi quickly said, "How about this, after I finish today's report, I will find a secluded place to have a chat with you. What do you think?"
"Then I will respectfully wait for your arrival." Lin Yi's father naturally wanted to establish a connection with Daoist Priest Hongyi. Although Lin Yi's father couldn't see through Daoist Priest Hongyi's cultivation, he could naturally see his status among these people.
Lin Yi's father waited for Daoist Priest Hongyi to leave, then a smile appeared on his face, "Coach Xiao Huang, it seems that we don't need to worry about the talisman's sales."
I nodded, "I will go in and listen. Do you want me to accompany you to the bank first? "
With so much money in the box, I was a little worried. I also didn't know if anyone had their eyes on this place. If someone had their eyes on this place, Lin Yi's father would be in danger if he went out with so much money. Adding the money that Yi Dazhu and Dong Yingdong had spent to buy the talismans, the total was about a million. With such a large amount of money, it was indeed very risky.
Lin Yi's father naturally understood my meaning. With me here, he felt more at ease. After hearing what I said, he was a little nervous. He took out a tissue and began to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"Then I'll accompany you to the bank," I smiled.
Lin Yi's father was a little embarrassed, "Coach Xiao Huang, am I too useless?"
"It's okay, it's better to be careful." I shook my head. I helped Lin Yi's father carry the box. With Lin Yi's father's current state, I was afraid that he would tremble all over if he had to carry so much money.
