The middle-aged man burst into tears. As if sensing something, the baby also burst into tears. His sorrowful voice spread far and wide.
… …
"Hey, Dad, why are you here?" At this moment, a familiar voice pulled Wang Changyuan back to reality.
Wiping his tears, Wang Changyuan turned his head, forced a smile on his face and said, "Dad is afraid that you are tired, so I came to see you."
Seeing his father's red eyes, Wang Changsheng knew that his father must have thought of his mother, but he didn't ask.
"Dad, are you here to get the talisman? I only drew 26 talismans, but I can definitely make up for yesterday's talismans today. "In order not to make his father too sad, Wang Changsheng quickly changed the topic.
Wang Changsheng didn't follow his father's suggestion. With a large supply of blank talisman paper, he tried to make other types of talismans, but without exception, all of them ended in failure. He had no choice but to draw the fireball talisman that he was most familiar with. After spending 5 dozen blank talisman paper, he only drew 22 fireball talismans. The success rate decreased a lot, it seems that he still needs to practice more.
"26 talismans it is, don't work too hard, take it slow, Dad is not in a hurry, your health is important." Wang Changyuan said with concern.
"Got it." Wang Changsheng nodded and secretly made a decision. It seems that I still can't be too hasty. I will first draw 30 fireball talismans, then learn how to draw other types of talismans. He was still a bit hasty yesterday.
"Dad, look at me, what's different about me?" Wang Changsheng suddenly thought of something and said mysteriously to his father.
"Different? Nothing … Hey, you broke through the fourth level of refining qi and entered the fifth level? " Hearing this, Wang Changyuan looked up and down at his son, but didn't find anything different. But when he used his divine sense to scan his son's dantian, he unexpectedly found that his son broke through.
"Hehe, I broke through a few days ago when I was making talismans, I forgot to tell you." Wang Changsheng laughed, his face was also somewhat proud.
Seeing this, Wang Ming Yuan smiled with relief. He patted his son's shoulder and praised, "Well done. Father still has something to do, so I'll leave first. You craft the talismans well. Don't put down your cultivation. If you need anything, tell the black-clothed guards outside." After saying this, Wang Ming Yuan took the talismans on the table and left.
"I will work hard, Mother," Wang Changsheng said solemnly as he looked at his mother's portrait.
Look at the refreshing ones.
Chapter 15
Two-headed python
Have a crush on you.

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the depths of the Yue Yang Mountain Range, there was a hidden pool. The pool was not big, only about ten square meters. The pool was dark, and the situation under the water could not be seen clearly. 【..】
There was a palm-sized flower growing on the stone wall of the pool. Every petal had a different color.
Not far from the pool, there were three cultivators dressed differently. The leader was a dark-skinned middle-aged man, Li Fugui. On his left stood a woman in red who looked to be in her thirties, and on his right stood a man with a long sword on his back.
He was a burly man dressed in martial arts attire.
"What do you think, Chen Daoyou, Fellow Yu? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Li Fugui said to his two companions with a slight smile.
"It really is a seven-colored flower. Although it hasn't fully matured, it can be used as medicine." The woman in red nodded and looked at the seven-colored flower with a burning gaze.
"Fellow Li, we've arrived at our destination. There's no need for you to hide anything! You should tell me and Fellow Daoist Chen about the situation of that Demonic Beast! "The man with a sword on his back said.
"Of course. There is a two-headed python at the bottom of the pool. Its strength is comparable to a cultivator at the ninth stage of qi refining. It can use the Icicle Technique. As for whether or not it has a companion, I don't know," Li Fugui said truthfully.
"Whether or not it has a companion, we'll know once we try." The burly man in martial arts attire snorted and was about to unsheathe the long sword on his back.
"Wait, Fellow Yu, let me try first. If it doesn't work, you can try again. If there is more than one two-headed python at the bottom of the pool, it will be troublesome." At this moment, the woman in red said.
"This … Okay!" The burly man in martial arts attire hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"Then I'll have to ask the two of you to work together and freeze this pool." After saying that, the woman in red began to chant and her hands quickly formed hand seals.
Hearing this, Li Fugui vaguely guessed what the other party was going to do. He also started to chant.
After seven or eight breaths, the woman in red pointed at the pool with her right hand and shouted, "Freezing Technique."
As she shouted, a white light flashed from her hand and disappeared into the pool. Then, the water in the pool froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the pool still didn't change.
At this time, Li Fugui and the burly man in martial arts attire also cast a Freezing Technique. A layer of ice condensed on the surface of the frozen pool. For a moment, the cold air was pressing.
Seeing this, the woman in red hurriedly took off a leather bag from her waist and took out a small red monkey that was half a foot tall.
"Go, pick that spiritual medicine for me." The woman in red took out a green fruit from nowhere and gave it to the little red monkey. She pointed at the seven-colored flower on the stone wall and ordered.
The little red monkey finished the green fruit in two or three bites. Its face showed a trace of satisfaction and walked quickly toward the pool.
"Chen Daoyou, I didn't expect you to have a spirit beast. No wonder you want to try." Seeing the little red monkey, Li Fugui said with an envious tone. Few individual cultivators could have a spirit beast. There was no other reason. They couldn't afford to buy or raise it.
The burly man in martial arts attire didn't speak, but his face showed an envious expression.
Under the expectant gaze of the three people, the little red monkey walked to the ice layer and soon walked near the stone wall. It climbed up without any changes. Seeing this, the three people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The little red monkey quickly climbed toward the seven-colored flower. It soon climbed to a place less than one meter away from the seven-colored flower.
But at this moment, with a "kacha" sound, a crack appeared on the thick layer of ice. More and more cracks appeared, and soon, they covered the entire layer of ice.
"Not good, come back." The woman in red saw this and hurriedly ordered the little red monkey to come back, but it was too late.
"Bang!" The thick ice layer broke. A black shadow flashed out from the bottom of the pool and quickly attacked the little red monkey. It splashed a few feet high.
All this happened too fast. The little red monkey didn't have time to react and was swept away by the black shadow.
After the waves, the three people saw the true body of the black shadow. It turned out to be a black python that was fifty or sixty feet tall. The black python had two heads and its body was covered with dark scales. It exuded a cold breath. Its green eyes stared at the three uninvited guests in front of it.
"Little Red!" The woman in red lost the connection with the spirit beast. She was furious. She took out a blue flying knife and threw it out.
"Let's attack together." Li Fugui was not willing to fall behind. He took out a green flying knife from his sleeve and threw it forward. He made a gesture with both hands and pointed at the black python. The green flying knife turned into a green light and blasted toward the black python.
At the same time, the muscular man also controlled the long sword on his back to attack the black python.
For a time, the black python was flashing with various colors. Even if it had thick skin, it couldn't withstand the joint attack of the three people. A few scales on its body also fell off.
The black python let out a roar and opened its bloody mouth. A dozen white lights flew out of its mouth. The white lights turned out to be crystal clear ice cones, exuding bursts of cold air. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of the three people.
Seeing this, the woman in red's face changed. She took out a green talisman and put it on her body. She spat out, "Light Body." Then she stomped on the ground with her toes. Her whole body glowed with green light and quickly retreated. Several ice cones were inserted in the position where she was standing.
After dodging the fatal blow, the woman in red let out a sigh of relief. She subconsciously looked at her two companions. The big man in black was desperately waving a cyan short sword, forming an airtight cyan wind. There was an icicle stuck in his left shoulder. The icicle had a few traces of dark red on it.
On the other hand, Li Fugui was wrapped in a layer of golden light. He was safe and sound. He was the most relaxed among the three.
"Vajra Talisman? I didn't expect Mr. Li to have a defensive talisman. No wonder you dare to attack the double-headed python. "Seeing this, the woman in red flashed a trace of surprise in her eyes. She said in an envious tone.
Speaking of which, the life of a rogue cultivator was very difficult. In order to maintain their cultivation, they had to take risks to hunt demon beasts. Every time, they were risking their lives. There were almost no life-saving methods. Defensive magic tools were too expensive. Few rogue cultivators could afford them. Defensive talismans were cheaper, but they were very difficult to buy.
"Hehe, I was lucky to buy one." Hearing this, Li Fugui smiled. His face was full of pride. At the same time, he rejoiced in his heart. If he hadn't bought a Vajra Talisman yesterday, even if he didn't die today, he would have been seriously injured. Subconsciously, the three words' Gathering Immortal Residence 'flashed through his mind.
"Don't talk nonsense. Quickly get rid of this beast. It won't be good if it attracts other people," the muscular man reminded.
"Let's lure this beast out first. If we can't beat it and it escapes back to the bottom of the pond, it will be troublesome." Li Fugui nodded and suggested.
"Let me do it." The woman surnamed Chen volunteered. She took out a talisman that was flickering with a faint red light. She threw it forward. The red talisman spontaneously combusted. It turned into a fist-sized red fireball and flew toward the belly of the double-headed python.
The double-headed python was busy fighting against the three magic tools on its head. It didn't notice the woman surnamed Chen's move.
The red fireball hit the two-headed python's abdomen and immediately exploded. Suddenly, the two-headed python's abdomen was surrounded by flames. Although this fireball couldn't burn it to death, the high temperature was unbearable.
The body of the double-headed python quickly sank back to the bottom of the pond. With a few "puchi" sounds, a large amount of white fog rose near the pond.
"This beast won't come out!" Li Fugui saw this and whispered in a low voice.
Seeing this, the woman surnamed Chen and the muscular man also frowned slightly.
At this moment, a "bang" sound was heard. A huge wave flew out of the white fog and rushed toward the three people.
Li Fugui was better off. With the help of the golden light shield, he was safe and sound. However, he had one hand on the golden light shield. His face was pale. It was obvious that he wasn't feeling well. The woman surnamed Chen and the muscular man were sent flying. The woman surnamed Chen was better off. She flew back a dozen meters and fell on the grass.
The muscular man fiercely hit a big tree and fell heavily. Although the muscular man was strong, he still spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was incomparably pale.
At the same time, more than a dozen icicles flew out of the white fog. Most of them hit the golden light shield. Fortunately, the golden light shield was relatively sturdy. In addition, Li Fugui was constantly replenishing his spiritual power. He was barely able to block this wave of attacks. However, his face was getting paler and his forehead was sweating like a bun.
Li Fugui didn't have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He suddenly realized that the sky had darkened. He subconsciously raised his head and saw a black python more than ten feet tall standing in front of him. It opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite him.
Look at this refreshing thing!

A Little Famous
Falling in Love with You

This discovery scared Li Fugui out of his wits. At this time, even if he removed the Vajra Talisman, he wouldn't be able to escape. 【..】
The bloody mouth was already above Li Fugui's head. Just as it was about to swallow Li Fugui into its stomach, a blue light came from afar and fiercely struck the area between the two python's heads.
This was the most vulnerable part of the Two-Headed Python. It didn't even have many scales. Now that its most vulnerable part had been attacked, the Two-Headed Python was in so much pain that it wished it was dead. It opened its bloody mouth again and quickly left Li Fugui's head.
Li Fugui didn't dare to remove the Vajra Talisman. He also didn't want to escape at this time. That was tantamount to courting death. He took out two red talismans from his sleeves. His face flashed with a hint of reluctance as he threw them forward.
Two crimson fireballs flew towards the Twin-Headed Python at high speed, bringing with them blazing heat.
"Boom boom!" The red fireballs exploded and submerged most of the two-headed python's body.
The two-headed python was severely injured. It roared angrily. Ignoring the flames on its body, it turned around and quickly crawled towards the pool.
"Don't you think it's too late to leave now?" As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light came from behind Li Fugui and fiercely struck the two-headed python's abdomen, splitting it in two. The upper half of the python's body fell heavily to the ground, sending a cloud of dust into the air.
Seeing this, Li Fugui heaved a sigh of relief. He removed the Vajra Talisman, turned around, and cupped his hands.
"This time, it's all thanks to Chen Daoyou and Fellow Daoist Yu. Otherwise, this Li would have most likely died here."
"We were originally working together to hunt monsters. Even if Fellow Daoist Li didn't say it, we would have done it. But then again, Fellow Daoist Li's two fireball talismans seem to be more powerful than ordinary ones. I don't know where Fellow Daoist Li bought these talismans. This one also wants to buy a few."
The man surnamed Yu said with interest.
"That's right! Fellow Daoist Li, you bought your Vajra Talisman there too, right? Why don't you introduce it to this little sister? "The woman surnamed Chen echoed.
They often went deep into the mountains to hunt monsters. It was very dangerous, and they couldn't afford magic tools. If they had powerful offensive or defensive talismans in their hands, their safety would undoubtedly be guaranteed.
"To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoists, I bought these talismans from a small store in the west of the city called the Immortal Gathering Abode. You can take a look around there, but I can't say if you'll be able to buy more." Li Fugui didn't conceal this and replied truthfully, as this was originally an agreement he'd reached with the store owner.
He helped the shop owner advertise that he would save two spirit stones. Li Fugui secretly decided to go back to Immortal Gathering Residence to buy a few more talismans.
"Immortal Gathering Residence?" Hearing this, the two nodded and secretly remembered this name.
… …
A month quietly passed. Nothing major happened in the Yueyang Mountain Range, but there was one place that became the topic of discussion in the market, and that was Immortal Gathering Residence.
Nobody knew when it started, but this small shop had a large number of elementary talismans for sale. Occasionally, one could even buy a defensive talisman. Not only that, but people were surprised to find that the talismans sold in Immortal Gathering Residence were more powerful than those sold in other places. This news spread in a small circle, and it caused a huge uproar.
Some low-level cultivators immediately flocked to Immortal Gathering Residence.
As the number of returning customers increased, some cultivators even sold spiritual medicines or refining materials to Immortal Gathering Residence. Immortal Gathering Residence's business became more and more prosperous. Not only did they open the second floor, but they also increased their manpower.
Early in the morning, on a barren mountain southwest of the market, two young women stood beside a huge yellow rock. The older woman wore a white palace dress. She had a slender figure and snow-white skin. She was a complete beauty. The other woman wore a blue dress. Her eyebrows were curved, and there were two small dimples on her face. She was very lovable.
"Elder sister, we're finally back. I missed father and the others so much," the younger woman said with a smile.
"Is that so? The day before yesterday, I heard someone say that she wanted to stay at cousin's house for a few more days. Now you miss father? Could it be that you want father to arrange a marriage for you? "The older woman pretended to be reminiscing and softly laughed.
"What marriage? How could I have one? " When the blue-clothed woman heard this, her cheeks turned red and she hurriedly denied it. She seemed to have thought of something and said, "Elder sister, do you think we should go home first or go to the market first? I brought back a lot of good things." When she finished speaking, the blue-clothed woman's expression became somewhat excited.
"Let's go to the market first! Anyway, the market is closer. Moreover, I heard father say that the family's situation is not very good. Let's sell our things to the family's shops! It can also be considered a gift from us. "The older woman pondered for a moment and slowly said.
In this regard, the blue-clothed woman did not object.
Then, the two began to chant. Bursts of azure light appeared under their feet. With a light tap of their feet, they appeared several meters away and quickly rushed toward the market.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the two entered the market and slowly walked toward the western part of the city.
In front of the Juxian Residence, there were many people going in and out. Most of them were cultivators in plain clothes. A few words could be heard from time to time.
"Waiter, I want five Fireball Talismans."
"Give me two Light Body Talismans, three Fireball Talismans, and five Water Arrow Talismans."
"Shopkeeper Wang, have the Vajra Talismans I want arrived? I need them urgently!"
"Shopkeeper, how much are these Seven Star Grass seeds?"
Looking at the extremely noisy shop, the blue-clothed woman's small cherry mouth opened wide and said in surprise, "Elder sister, did we go to the wrong place? Is this really a shop opened by our family?"
The white-clothed woman did not answer. Her eyes were full of doubts. In her memory, the business of the Juxian Residence opened by her family was not very good. It could be said that it was deserted, but the scene in front of her now …
"Fellow Daoist Song, I'm sorry that the goods you want have not arrived yet. I'm sorry to have let you come here in vain. I'll immediately send someone to inform you when the goods arrive." At this time, Wang Mingzhan accompanied a gorgeously dressed man walking out with a face full of smiles.
"Father?" Seeing Wang Mingzhan, the two women said in unison. Their faces showed a touch of shock. Is this shop really opened by our family?
"I didn't expect that Wang Daoyou not only has a good business, but the two daughters are also very beautiful. It's really enviable." Seeing the two, the man couldn't help but praise them.
Hearing the man's words, the two women's faces showed a touch of red.
"When it comes to beauty, who can compare to the two beauties of the Song Family? I'll skip the pleasantries. I still have things to deal with, so I won't see you out." Wang Mingzhan replied politely, then said to the two women, "Come in with me."
"Could it be that these talismans were drawn by the two of them?" A touch of doubt flashed through the man's eyes, and he muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
When the customers in the shop saw the two women, especially the young cultivator, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The older woman's face didn't change much, but the blue-clothed woman fiercely glared at these people.
"You went to celebrate Grandmother's birthday. Why didn't you stay for a few days and come back so soon?" Wang Mingzhan walked into an inner room, looked at the two women with a face full of affection, and said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Hehe, Father, isn't it because your daughter misses you?" The blue-clothed woman replied with a smile. She was very witty.
"Smelly girl, don't be rude!" Wang Mingzhan glared at the blue-clothed woman, but everyone could hear the affection in his voice.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do at Grandmother's place. Your daughter was thinking of coming back earlier to see if I could help." The older woman said seriously. She pondered for a moment, then said, "Father, my sister and I have only left for a month. How did the family business become so good?
Also, weren't you in charge of purchasing before? How did you become the manager of the Gathering Immortal Residence? "
"Changxue is still the sensible one. Changyue, learn from your sister. Don't just play all day long." Wang Mingzhan nodded his head and said to the blue-clothed woman.
In response, the blue-clothed woman didn't answer. She stuck out her tongue in protest.
"Your second uncle asked me to be the manager. As for the business, it's from …" Wang Mingzhan didn't hide anything from his own daughter, and told her everything that had happened in the past few months.
"So it's like that. With a talisman crafting genius like seventh brother, no wonder the business is so good." After hearing Wang Mingzhan's words, Wang Zhangxue suddenly understood.
That's it for you.

To be honest, Wang Zhangxue's impression of seventh brother was not bad. However, she only knew that seventh brother was diligent in cultivation. She had never thought that he could craft talismans. 【..】
"Seventh brother is actually so good at crafting talismans. Someday, I'll have him teach me." Wang Zhangyue supported her chin with one hand.
"Don't disturb your seventh brother. Also, regarding your seventh brother's talisman crafting, you can't leak it. This is a family secret. Otherwise, you'll be severely punished." Wang Mingzhan's face revealed a trace of seriousness.
"I understand." Wang Zhangxue nodded. Her father was in charge of purchasing goods. After being influenced by him for many years, she naturally understood what a skilled talisman craftsman meant to the family.
"Right, you two stay here for the next few days. When the people escorting the talismans arrive, you can go back with them." Wang Mingzhan was somewhat worried.
"There's no need! Father, sister and I aren't weak scholars. I'm in the seventh layer of Qi Refining, not to mention sister, who's in the eighth layer of Qi Refining. "Wang Zhangyue pouted with a complacent expression.
Hearing this, Wang Mingzhan glared at her and was about to reprimand her.
Seeing this, Wang Zhangxue hastily said, "Okay, okay. Don't make trouble for father. At worst, sister will accompany you. Didn't you say you were bored at home?"
Wang Zhangyue also noticed Wang Mingzhan's expression. She didn't object and lowered her head in grievance.
Seeing this, Wang Mingzhan nodded with satisfaction. After a few more words of advice, he went out to greet the guests.
In a hidden place in the market, a man and a woman were sitting cross-legged on the ground. The two of them were motionless with their eyes slightly closed. They were facing a seemingly thick stone door. Suddenly, with a loud rumble, the stone door slowly opened. A woman wearing a purple palace dress walked out.
She had a faint smile on her face.
At the same time the stone door opened, the two people sitting cross-legged on the ground opened their eyes at the same time. They hastily stood up and revealed a trace of joy on their faces. They respectfully said, "Welcome back Ancestor."
The purple-clothed woman nodded with satisfaction and casually asked, "You two are filial. That's right, during my seclusion, did anything major happen in the market?"
"Thanks to Ancestor's blessing, everything is fine. Our clan's disciples have also remembered Ancestor's teachings and have been diligently cultivating." The middle-aged man wearing a green scholar's robe respectfully replied.
The woman in red standing to the side showed a trace of hesitation on her face. She seemed to want to say something. All of this fell into the purple-clothed woman's eyes.
"What, Yao 'er, do you have something to say?" The purple-clothed woman said faintly.
"Replying to Ancestor, there is something I would like to ask Ancestor." The woman in red bit her jade lips and summoned her courage to speak.
"What is it?"
"Grandson heard from Zijun that about a month ago, a small shop in the market called Gathering Immortal Residence suddenly had a large number of talismans for sale. This number increased day by day. Moreover, the power of the talismans was greater than that of other shops. They took a lot of our business. Do you want to suppress them?" The woman in red clothes asked.
She carefully asked.
"Have you investigated the details of this shop thoroughly?"
"Replying to Ancestor, we have investigated it thoroughly. It was opened by a local cultivator surnamed Wang. The Family has a Foundation Establishment cultivator overseeing it. There are rumors that this family has invited a Talisman Master. Some of our clan's elders have suggested that we go and ask for this Talisman Master. With our Family Li's reputation as the number one cultivator clan, they wouldn't dare to refuse.
With this Talisman Master, our Gathering Treasures Pavilion's business will definitely become even more prosperous. "
"Idiot, if someone else has a Talisman Master, you want to go and ask for it. Let's not talk about whether they will give it to you or not. Even if they do give it to you, what will the other cultivator clans think? If the Song Clan has an Alchemist next time, will you also go and ask for it? Do you want to make our clan an enemy of all the local cultivator clans? Moreover, although I don't care much, I know that our clan has always been in the spirit medicine business.
Do you think that just because you are my great-granddaughter, you can casually fool me? "The purple-clothed woman glared at the red-clothed woman and scolded her with an extremely cold tone.
"Ancestor, please forgive me. Yao 'er doesn't dare." The red-clothed woman's expression greatly changed and she hastily knelt on the ground. A layer of sweat seeped out of her forehead.
"Ancestor, Yao 'er was only confused for a moment. Ancestor, please forgive Yao' er for the sake of our clan!" The middle-aged man also knelt and pleaded for leniency for the red-clothed woman.
Seeing this, the purple-clothed woman's expression relaxed and she said, "I'll let it go this time. I'll punish you to face the wall for a year."
Hearing this, the red-clothed woman let out a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew to face the wall to reflect on her past.
"This child's desire to control is too strong. Fortunately, I didn't let her become the clan leader. Otherwise, who knows how much trouble she would've caused."
"Yao 'er's intentions were good, but her methods were wrong. That's right, Ancestor, what should we do about this Gathering Immortal Residence?" The middle-aged man's tone changed and he changed the topic.
"Not only can we not suppress them, we should instead help them."
"What? Help them? " The middle-aged man's expression slightly changed. In his opinion, not suppressing the Gathering Immortal Residence's business was already good enough. How could they help them?
"Although our clan is the number one Immortal Clan in this area, we claimed this title ourselves. Others don't agree with us, especially the Chen and Song Clans. They have always been secretly opposing our clan, and there are even signs of them joining forces. Roping in some small clans won't do us any harm.
In addition, the better the Gathering Immortal Residence's talismans sell, the more low level cultivators it will attract. As one of the managers of the market, our Family Li will benefit even more. Most importantly, no matter how large their business is, without a Core Formation cultivator, they won't be able to suppress our Family Li. "The purple-clothed woman slowly said.
"Grandson understands what to do. Since Ancestor has come out of seclusion, Grandson will take his leave." With that, the middle-aged man respectfully withdrew.
"Gathering Immortal Residence? I seem to have heard of it somewhere before. "The purple-clothed woman muttered to herself and shook her head. Soon after, she also left.
The Wang Clan. After finishing the last talisman, Wang Changsheng put down his brush and stood up to stretch. Beneath his feet was a large amount of discarded talisman paper.
Due to the large amount of talisman paper he had, Wang Changsheng's progress had been great. In addition to the three talismans he had drawn at the beginning, he was also familiar with simple talismans such as the Light Body Talisman, Spirit Travel Talisman, and Water Shield Talisman. His success rate was not low.
At the beginning, he only drew thirty talismans a day. Wang Changsheng was able to complete his task on time. Occasionally, he would even draw a few extra talismans. But as the talismans sold like hotcakes, more and more cultivators ordered them. The number of talismans required each day increased and Wang Changsheng began to feel a bit overwhelmed. Not only was he mentally exhausted, he also lost a few kilograms.
Fortunately, his father discovered this in time and allowed him to have a good day's rest.
Drawing talismans for a long time was a bit tiring, but it was not without harvest. Wang Changsheng broke through again a few days ago and advanced to the sixth layer of Qi Refining. In addition, the sales of talismans sold like hotcakes in exchange for a large amount of spirit stones. Wang Mingyuan began to distribute spirit stones to his clansmen and took back the blank talismans in their hands. Because of this, Wang Mingyuan won the favor of some people within the clan.
However, the losses had yet to be made up. Therefore, Wang Changsheng still needed to draw a large amount of talismans.
"Father, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it." Taking advantage of his father's visit, Wang Changsheng spoke of the idea hidden in his heart.
"What idea? Let's hear it. "Wang Mingyuan replied with a smile. He liked this son of his even more. Because of the hot sales of talismans, he earned a large amount of spirit stones for the clan. The voices of opposition within the clan suddenly became much smaller. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be able to make up for the losses in spirit stones in a month. And this was all thanks to his son.
"Father, I want to promote the art of talisman making in the Training Hall. I want to select a few clansmen who have talent in talisman making and train them. This will be very beneficial to the development of the clan. Most importantly, they can help me share some of the tasks. Drawing seventy to eighty talismans every day is really too tiring." At the end of his speech, Wang Changsheng revealed a bitter expression, looking very pitiful.
"En, this matter involves too many things. Let me discuss it with your grandfather. In the meantime, if you are tired, then rest. Don't force yourself. Your health is important." Hearing this, Wang Mingyuan raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself for a moment before slowly opening his mouth.
Wang Changsheng nodded his head. Seeming to have thought of something, his face revealed an awkward expression. He said: "Father, there is another matter I want to discuss with you."

"What do you want to say? Father is not an outsider. [Full text reading …] "
"Father, I want to go out for a walk and relax. In a few days, aren't the finished talismans going to be transported to the market? I can just follow the transport guards. Nothing will happen. "At the end of his speech, Wang Changsheng's expression was somewhat perturbed. This month had been very stifling for him. Every day he stayed in his room, if he wasn't making talismans, he would be meditating and cultivating.
In the end, he was still a sixteen year old youth. How could he endure this?
Hearing this, Wang Mingyuan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing his son's hopeful gaze, he lightly sighed and said: "Okay, but you must listen to the guard's instructions. You can't run around by yourself. Also, you absolutely can't leave the market alone."
"No problem. When the time comes, bring me along. It just so happens that I want to buy something." When Wang Changsheng heard this, a smile crept up the corners of his mouth. He looked very happy.
Seeing this, Wang Mingyuan also smiled slightly. After chatting with his son for a while, he left.
"In a few days, when I go to the market, I have to make a few more talismans." Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng calmed his mind, picked up the talisman pen on the table, and put a piece of talisman paper in front of his eyes …
In a secret room of the Wang family, Wang Mingzhi sat upright and still, holding a black chess piece in his hand. He looked at the black and white chess pieces in front of him with a hesitant expression. Opposite him, the one-armed old man held a cup of fragrant tea and slowly tasted it.
"No, no, Uncle Jiu, I really can't play this game anymore." Suddenly, Wang Mingzhi threw away the black chess piece in his hand and said somewhat dejectedly.
"It's not the end yet. How can you admit defeat so easily?" The one-armed old man put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly.
"But sometimes, it's not necessary to know the winner or loser at the last moment." Wang Mingzhi smiled bitterly and continued: "But then again, I really didn't expect my nephew to learn how to make talismans. If my nephew hadn't drawn a large number of talismans in a short time, my second brother wouldn't have a chance.
Second Brother has no chance of winning at all. It seems like I haven't paid enough attention to my nephew! "
"Mingzhi, don't blame Uncle Jiu for not reminding you. Bright Vision's son is now the treasure of the whole family. Don't do anything stupid. Otherwise, Uncle Jiu won't be able to save you." The one-armed old man seemed to have thought of something and warned with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, Uncle Jiu. I'm not that stupid. No matter what, he's still my nephew. Besides, my second brother sent a team of black-clothed guards outside. Isn't that to guard against me?" Wang Mingzhi said with some dissatisfaction.
"It's best that you understand this. No matter who becomes the patriarch, their surname will be Wang. Besides, Bright Vision's losses were too big. It's still uncertain whether they can make up for the losses within the time limit. If it's yours, it won't run away. If it's not yours, it won't be snatched away. Take it easy."
Hearing this, Wang Mingzhi was silent for a while. After a while, his face was gloomy and uncertain. He slowly said: "Uncle Jiu, let's play another game!" After saying that, he set up the chess game again.
"You're worth teaching." The one-armed old man smiled slightly.
Two days later, the sky was still gray. At the foot of Demon Subduing Mountain.
Wang Mingyuan was telling Wang Changsheng something. Beside him, there were three men in ordinary clothes. The three of them had ordinary facial features, and their bodies emitted a faint wave of supernatural power.
"I know, Dad. You've told me eight hundred times that I can't run around, can't leave the market without permission, and can't fight with others …" Wang Changsheng said with a bitter face.
"Good." Wang Mingyuan nodded and turned to look at the three men beside him. With a dignified look on his face, he said in a deep voice: "I'll repeat it again. You can lose the goods, but the young patriarch can't lose a single hair. Otherwise, you'll be severely punished."
"Yes, Patriarch," the three men said in unison. They were all masters carefully selected by Wang Mingyuan. Two of them were at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the other was at the eighth level of Qi Refining. It wouldn't be a problem for them to protect the young patriarch for more than a hundred miles.
"Well, it's getting late. You can go now!" Wang Mingyuan looked at the sky and waved his hand.
Looking at Wang Changsheng's back, Wang Mingyuan sighed softly. He didn't go up the mountain until Wang Changsheng's figure disappeared from his sight.
Wang Changsheng followed the three guards. His feet glowed with a blue light, and he ran towards the market. He was very fast, as if he was running with all his strength, but his expression was very relaxed, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll.
The Wind-riding Spell was an auxiliary magic. After reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining, Wang Changsheng didn't find it difficult to use it. It was perfect for him to use it on the road.
Along the way, the three guards didn't talk much. They were focused on the road. Wang Changsheng didn't bother to talk to them, and followed them obediently.
After half an hour, the four of them arrived at the market.
Looking at the passers-by and the shops on both sides of the street, Wang Changsheng's face showed a touch of excitement.
"Wang Hu, you follow the young clan leader. Wang Lei and I will give the things to San Ye. Remember, you can't let the young clan leader out of your sight," the bald leader said to one of his companions. Then, he left with his other companion.
After the bald leader left, Wang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly walked towards a shop, and the guard named Wang Hu hurried to follow him.
Before Wang Changsheng came to the market, his father gave him a sum of spirit stones, but he didn't want to spend it recklessly.
The jade slip that Third Great Uncle gave him only briefly introduced the drawing methods of several primary charms. With the improvement of his charms, Wang Changsheng naturally wanted to learn the drawing methods of other types of charms. Although the Wang family had been established for hundreds of years, there were too few records about charms.
The Wang family wasn't famous for charms. This was a common problem for many small cultivation families. They knew a little bit of everything, but they weren't proficient in it.
To Wang Changsheng's disappointment, he asked more than a dozen small shops, but there were very few secret books about charms. There were only a few books, and the content was similar to the jade slip that Third Great Uncle gave him, but there were three or four additional methods of drawing charms.
It was reasonable to say that it was good to have three or four methods of drawing charms. However, facing the price of thirty or forty spirit stones, Wang Changsheng was reluctant to buy it. In desperation, he could only look at the big shops.
Jubao Pavilion was located in the central area of the market. As the shop with the longest history, the largest area, and the widest scope of business in the market, Jubao Pavilion's business had always been very good. Most of the cultivators who went in and out of Jubao Pavilion wore bright clothes. The attendants of Jubao Pavilion didn't dare to neglect the guests who wore ordinary clothes.
After all, clothing didn't represent whether a cultivator was rich or poor.
As soon as he walked into Jubao Pavilion, Wang Changsheng was slightly surprised. A bright hall that could accommodate dozens of people, an extremely long counter made of Phoebe Phoebe wood, and eight attendants wearing red clothes. All of this gave people a feeling of grandeur.
At this time, four or five red-clothed attendants were separately explaining something to several guests.
Wang Changsheng noticed that there were all kinds of magic tools placed on the counter. There were a wide variety of weapons, such as sabers, spears, swords, halberds, and so on. There were also charms, but the quantity was very small.
At this time, a red-clothed attendant greeted him with a face full of smiles. "Welcome, Fellow Daoist. What do you need? Do you want this little one to introduce you? Our shop's magic tools will definitely satisfy you."
"Do you have secret cultivation methods for sale?" Wang Changsheng asked straightforwardly.
"Is this the first time you have come to our Jubao Pavilion? The secret cultivation methods are on the second floor, and the third floor sells all kinds of medicinal pills. "The red-clothed attendant looked up and down at Wang Changsheng, then pointed in a direction and explained enthusiastically.
Wang Changsheng looked in the direction pointed by the attendant and indeed saw a staircase leading to the second floor. From time to time, there were people going up and down.
The area of the second floor was much smaller than the first floor. It also had a long counter. The counter was filled with colorful jade slips and even many tattered books. The guests on the second floor weren't much less than the first floor. Compared to the noisy first floor, the second floor was much quieter.
Wang Changsheng looked for a while, then walked towards a counter and said to the attendant behind the counter, "Do you have secret cultivation methods for drawing charms?"
