Situ Boyang and the other two observed Tan Xiu's expression. They could see that Tan Xiu looked calm and didn't seem to be lying. All kinds of thoughts kept churning in their minds. The three of them had known each other for more than 50 years, so they were very familiar with each other. As they pondered and exchanged glances, the three tacitly understood each other's thoughts.
Situ Boyang stroked his chin and said, "Tan Xiu, since you're proficient in arrays, I wonder if you're interested in going with us since there's a sword array in the ancient tomb we're going to explore? Don't worry, we'll count all the harvest in the ancient tomb to you. "
"I'm indeed interested in exploring. It's very exciting and fun." Tan Xiu lightly smiled. "Since the three of you don't mind, then I'll go with you when the time comes! I can't guarantee anything else, but if we encounter an array in the ancient tomb, I'll crack it. As for the talismans, I'll also prepare them in advance. "
"Tan Xiu, can you show us?" asked the lean old man.
"How?" asked Tan Xiu with a smile.
"We can't be sure whether you're really proficient in arrays or not, but you said you can make talismans. How about you make one tonight and let us see it?" said the lean old man.
"I need a brush, ink, and paper," said Tan Xiu without hesitation. "The paper is yellow paper, and the ink is cinnabar ink. The three of you are old and you often go to unclean places, so it's inevitable that evil qi will invade your bodies. I'll make three Evil Repelling Talismans to ensure that you won't be invaded by evil qi in the future. "
The three of them were overjoyed upon hearing it and their attitude toward Tan Xiu turned a bit closer.
Evil Repelling Talismans!
It was the most important thing in the Strange Doors. Although each of their families had Evil Repelling Talismans handed down, the number of Evil Repelling Talismans in their families had been reduced to the extreme with the passage of time. For example, the Situ Family only had three Evil Repelling Talismans left. The other two families were not as good as the Situ Family.
Although it was very late now, the Situ Family could easily find what Tan Xiu needed with their ability. Ouyang Lulu, on the other hand, sat at the side and didn't speak. At this moment, her eyes had already been replaced by extraordinary splendor. Even though she felt that she already had a great understanding of Tan Xiu, she still never imagined that Tan Xiu was actually able to craft talismans. He could even walk into the circle of the elders of the Strange Doors.
Outstanding!
She felt that Tan Xiu was simply too outstanding. He was simply perfect and flawless.
When the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were brought to Tan Xiu, she and the other three old men sat quietly at the side, watching Tan Xiu concentrate on drawing the strange characters. His painting technique was as smooth as moving clouds and flowing water. His brushstrokes were like dragons and snakes, and his words were like dancing dragons and dancing phoenixes. Although they looked extremely complicated, there was an indescribable charm to them.
Half an hour later, Tan Xiu made three Evil-Warding Talismans. The talisman looked ordinary, but when Situ Boyang and the other two held it in their hands, they could feel a chill in their hands.
"That's right, it's an Evil Warding Talisman."
Situ Boyang's eyes lit up, and his eyes were rippling with excitement.
The lean old man's skinny palm slightly trembled while holding the Evil-Warding Talismans. His wrinkled face was full of excitement as he muttered to himself, "It's been a hundred years. I've never heard of anyone being able to make these Evil-Warding Talismans. The number of people in our Strange Doors is very small, and the things passed down by our ancestors are even fewer. I thought that this kind of Evil-Warding Talisman would only be used once, but I never thought that our Strange Doors' Evil-Warding Talismans could be made even more. "
Another old man with a sarcoma on his forehead nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. With these Evil-Warding Talismans, Divine Doctor Tang … no, Grandmaster Tang can be considered as a member of our Strange Doors."
"The three of you are Tang Xiu's seniors, so it's reasonable to say that you know more than me," said Tang Xiu with a smile. If there's anything I don't understand in the future, I hope you can give me some pointers. "
Situ Boyang moved his eyes away from the Evil-Warding Talisman with difficulty. His eyes then fell on Tan Xiu's face and said with a serious expression, "Can we make a deal, Tan Xiu?"
Tan Xiu's expression moved and asked, "You mean … you want to make a deal with me with these Evil-Warding Talismans?"
Situ Boyang heavily nodded and said, "I'm willing to buy these Evil-Warding Talismans for 50 million. I don't need a lot of them. 100 is enough. "
100?
Tan Xiu's mouth fiercely twitched a few times. 50 million for one Evil-Warding Talisman, and 100 of them would be 5 billion. How could this thing be so valuable in the eyes of these Strange Doors people?
The lean old man also said without hesitation, "My Jinmen Clan needs 50 of them. The price is also set at 50 million each. What do you think, Grandmaster Tang?"
"I also need 50 of them!"
Another old man said in a deep voice.
Tan Xiu stared blankly at the three of them. A wry smile filled his heart. Had he known earlier that he could make so much money by relying on these Evil-Warding Talismans, he wouldn't have bothered to do business. It must be noted that this Evil-Warding Talisman was not the only one he could make. With his current cultivation, he could also make dozens of other talismans. If each of them could be sold at such a price and in such quantity, he … he would probably become one of the richest people in the country, wouldn't he?
Tan Xiu looked at the lean old man and the old man with a sarcoma on his forehead and asked, "How should I address these two Seniors?"
"Jinmen Tian."
"Li Yuan."
"Senior Jinmen, Senior Li," said Tan Xiu. "Give me three days and I'll definitely hand over 50 Evil-Warding Talismans to each of your clans."
Jinmen Tian clapped his hands and smilingly said, "Great! That's great! Grandmaster Tang, let's exchange our contact information. I'll prepare the money when the time comes. "
"Me too!"
Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
"Alright!" Tan Xiu said with a smile.
At the side, Situ Boyang looked at Tan Xiu in a daze. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and said, "Two Brothers, the matter we discussed has been decided. We'll immediately set off to the ancient tomb after we find the third map. If we can't find it before the end of December, we'll rely on the two maps and the general direction to find it. "
"No problem. I'll inform Grandmaster Tang when the time comes." Jinmen Tian nodded.
"If so, then I won't keep you two for long." Situ Boyang nodded.
Jinmen Tian and Li Yuan exchanged glances and tacitly got up to bid farewell.
In the living room of the luxury suite, only Tan Xiu and Ouyang Lulu were left. Situ Boyang returned to Tan Xiu and took a seat, saying, "Tan Xiu, you said you wanted to talk to me before. What is it?"
Tan Xiu said with a smile, "Grandpa Situ, your Situ Family has been running the Imperial Capital's black market auction for so many years. You should have some special channels to find those strange and bizarre things. Can we discuss this? If your Situ Family can find those things and let me pick them in advance, I'm willing to spend a lot of money to buy them. Of course, if you don't want to, we can also cooperate in other ways. "
Situ Boyang squinted his eyes and asked, "Tell me about other ways of cooperation."
"For example, exchanging items," said Tan Xiu.
"You mean, you want to use the Evil Repelling Talisman to exchange for the things you like?" asked Situ Boyang.
"Not only the Evil Repelling Talisman, but I can also take out several other talismans." Tan Xiu shook his head. "For example, the Ice Talisman, the Raging Flame Talisman, the Lightning Talisman, and the Healing Talisman."
Situ Boyang suddenly got up and exclaimed with a horrified face, "You can make so many talismans? You, you, you … what kind of ancient books did you get? You actually … "
"You don't need me to tell you what kind of ancient books I got," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "I just want to ask you if you're willing to cooperate with me like I said?"
Situ Boyang gasped a few times and resolutely said, "No problem. As long as you can really take out these talismans, the Situ Family's treasure vault will be opened to you."
"Then let's happily decide," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "As for the Evil Repelling Talismans you want to buy, I can promise to sell 100 of them to you. But I have a condition. "
"Say it!"
Situ Boyang's eyes turned red at the moment. His Situ Family was one of the Occult Families, and they needed these magical talismans very much. At this moment, he would agree even if Tan Xiu asked for his life. Because once the Situ Family could get so many talismans, it would definitely make the Situ Family's strength soar and give more benefits to the future generations.
"You should already know that I spent 3.1 billion to buy the Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal and the Nine Phoenix Hairpin," said Tan Xiu. "The total value of 100 Evil Repelling Talismans is 5 billion. I only need the Situ Family to return the 3.1 billion to me and let me pick two things from your Situ Family's treasure vault. Then, our deal will be considered complete. "
Situ Boyang stared blankly. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "Tan Xiu, perhaps you don't know what's in our Situ Family's treasure vault. But I can tell you that the value of many things inside can hardly be measured with money. "
"Cold Ice Talisman, Raging Flame Talisman, Lightning Talisman, and Healing Talisman," said Tan Xiu. Add five talismans for each of the four. I want to choose three items. "
Situ Boyang's complexion constantly changed as countless thoughts churned inside his mind. The conditions put forward by Tan Xiu caught him off guard. He was excited and nervous at the same time. But more than anything else … he could see that the Situ Family was about to move towards glory, and their status in the Occult Doors would rise steadily in the future.
Could he agree to it?
If he didn't, let alone the Cold Ice Talisman, Raging Flame Talisman, Lightning Talisman, and Healing Talisman, he wouldn't even be able to get the Evil Repelling Talisman. But if he agreed to it, then those things in the treasure vault, especially those things, would be picked by Tan Xiu …
A few minutes later.
Situ Boyang looked up as if he had made up his mind. He looked at Tan Xiu and said, "I agree, but you must promise me one thing."
"Please say it!" Tan Xiu was delighted inwardly.
"Since Jinmen Tian and Li Yuan already know that you can make Evil Repelling Talismans, then forget it," said Situ Boyang. "But you must never let them know about the other four talismans. If you want to sell those four talismans, you must go through our Situ Family. Our Situ Family will take a 10% commission for every transaction in the future. "
"Deal!"
Tan Xiu clapped his hands and said with a smile.
