"Oh, it's the Yi Clan's Steward Gao." Ye Kong cupped his hands in greeting to the old man who spoke, and at the same time, nodded to Zaji, who was following behind him, as a greeting.
Gao Yuanyang also politely nodded to Ye Kong. These past few days, he had been very busy.
Not only had they reached an agreement with the Hundred Insect Stronghold to set up a branch, but they had also purchased a batch of spirit insects and were preparing to ship them back to the mainland for sale.
Although Ye Kong was just boasting, it was true that the barbarian cultivators lacked spirit stones, so the Hundred Insect Stronghold's spirit insects were sold very cheaply. As long as they were shipped to other parts of the mainland, the Yi Clan's business would be able to make a lot of money.
Of course, the Steward Gao had already forgotten about this little cultivator. There were too many of these little cultivators, and they were too inconspicuous.
As a Steward of a business, the most important thing was to understand the business situation and understand business opportunities. Today, Steward Gao heard that someone was selling rare array talismans, and he immediately sensed a business opportunity, so he immediately sent someone to bring it over.
Coincidentally, Zaji was leading the way, and Zaji didn't know that the talismans were drawn by Ye Kong, so the two of them walked over.
"Brother Xia, you're also here to buy array talismans, right?" Zaji asked.
Ye Kong smiled without saying anything, but Jiang Wulin spoke, "You two are mistaken, he's not here to buy array talismans, he's actually the creator of the talismans."
"Ah, Brother Xia also knows how to make talismans?" Zaji was surprised, he didn't think that Ye Kong was also a talisman crafting master.
Even Gao Yuanyang was a bit surprised as he re-examined this young cultivator. He originally thought that this kid was just an ordinary cultivator, but who knew that he could also make talismans, and array talismans that very few people could make.
"I was just casually drawing, don't be so surprised, I can see you stuffing a few eggs into your mouth. One talisman only earned me two or three spirit stones, that's nothing." Ye Kong said in a very "humble" manner.
"Haha." Gao Yuanyang stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "It's This Old Man's fault for making such an error of judgment. I didn't think that little friend Xia, who is only at the third layer of Qi Refining, would already know how to make this kind of lost array talisman. You really are young and promising, I apologize for my disrespect."
Ye Kong hurriedly said that he didn't dare. Gao Yuanyang exchanged a few more polite words with him, then invited Ye Kong. "I wonder if little friend would be willing to follow this old man to the Yi Clan's branch for a chat?"
Ye Kong guessed that Manager Gao only wanted him to make talismans for them, so he wouldn't harm him. It just so happened that Ye Kong had something to ask him.
Thus, he nodded and said, "Alright."
Yi Family Trading Company, Hundred Insect Camp Branch.
The Yi Family was indeed a shrewd businessman. They had chosen a good location, right at the entrance of the main road. It was a small building with the best business. The signboard was already up but it was not yet open for business. There were people bustling about inside.
They walked all the way up to a clean tea room on the second floor. Ye Kong and the executives sat separately.
"Little friend Xia, do you know how to make other array talismans?" Clearly, Manager Gao's goal was not to make spirit arrays.
This was the umpteenth time someone had asked him this question. Ye Kong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Manager Gao, I know you want to ask this. Actually, I really want to make other high-level talismans to sell, but I only know how to make spirit arrays. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Oh." Manager Gao was indeed a little disappointed. Array masters were extremely rare. Not many people on this continent knew how to make complex and powerful spiritual arrays. If they could compress a spiritual array into a small piece of talisman paper, it would be a huge business. How many cultivators would be willing to spend a fortune on it?
"Is it because you lack the materials, or because you don't know how to set up arrays? If it's about the materials, I can definitely provide you with a lot of rare materials. "Manager Gao did not give up.
Ye Kong shook his head, "I don't lack materials."
Manager Gao continued, "What if our shop can teach you some precious arrays, and after you learn them, can you compress them into a talisman?"
Ye Kong froze. Suddenly, a voice in his heart told him to promise him that he would run away after he learned how to make arrays!
However, Ye Kong thought about it and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Brother Gao. These talismans are not that simple. You can't compress them into talismans just by knowing how to make them. I really don't know how to do it."
Ye Kong's last words made sense. The Yi Family was such a big company, and they were all smart people. How could they let him take advantage of them? They might not even know how they died in the end!
"Oh, I see." Manager Gao did not hide the disappointment on his face. He thought he had picked up a treasure, but it seemed like it was still trash.
Ye Kong did not want to disappoint him too much. He still had something to ask of him.
"Brother Gao, don't be too disappointed. Even though I don't know how to make other talismans, I know how to draw talismans. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth. I can make talismans of every element."
"Oh?" Gao Yuanyang once again looked at Ye Kong in shock. Almost everyone knew that a Talisman Master could only make Spirit Talismans of the same attribute as his Spirit Root. To be able to make a complete series of Spirit Talismans of different attributes, Gao Yuanyang had never heard of it before.
But after thinking about it, he understood. He smiled, "Little friend Xia, you have all five elements spiritual roots, right?"
Ye Kong laughed, "What do you mean by all spiritual roots? I'm just a mixed spiritual root, a pseudo spiritual root … But it's still good for talismans. Anyway, I can make all kinds of talismans now."
Gao Yuanyang smiled, "Little friend Xia is a straightforward person."
Ye Kong felt that the other party should hurry and recruit a pseudo spiritual root like him. Why did the old man only praise him, but not seem to want to recruit him?
"Manager Gao, I don't think your Yi Family has a talisman master who can make all five elements, right?" Ye Kong's words carried a hint of a reminder. As long as the other party had the intention to recruit him, he would be able to state his conditions. Whether it was working hours, salary, pension insurance, three pensions and five insurances, they could all be mentioned.
But Manager Gao only smiled, "That's right. This Old Man has never heard of such a full range of talismans."
Damn it, old man, why are you so stupid? This kind of talent that I've never heard of, hurry up and hire him back with a high salary!
Ye Kong was a little anxious, and said straightforwardly, "Manager Gao, actually, I don't have high requirements. Every month, I have a hundred or so spirit stones, ten or so medicinal pills, a place to stay, food to eat, and then I can help people make talismans.
"Hahahaha." Suddenly, a bell-like laughter came from inside the room. Ye Kong was stunned. There was someone else inside. A woman. Her voice was very pleasant.
Soon after, the bead curtain rippled, and a woman with a white veil over her face leisurely walked out. This woman was dressed in white and wore a white veil. Her steps were light and graceful, and no matter which angle one looked at her from, they couldn't escape the word beauty. Although he couldn't see her face, he could see her small earlobes that weren't covered, her slender white neck, her large but not excessively perfect breasts, her willow-like waist, and her long, straight legs. Every part of her was so beautiful.
Even Ye Kong, who had seen all kinds of beauties on Earth, couldn't help but feel his heart waver when he saw this woman.
"This is our Yi Family's young master, Grandmaster Yi Manying." Gao Yuanyang was afraid that Ye Kong wouldn't know what was good for him, so he quickly introduced her.
"Grandmaster Yi." Ye Kong quickly bowed and cursed in his heart. Damn it, how old is she? She's already a core formation cultivator. How can other people still live? I even have to call her grandmaster.
Yi Manying was also shocked. Usually, when men saw her for the first time, they couldn't help but be dazed for a long time, no matter how high their cultivation levels were. However, this third-level Qi Refinement cultivator didn't seem to be affected at all.
"Little friend Xia, you just said that you want to work for our Yi Family?" Yi Manying asked. Then, a powerful Core Formation ancestor's aura pressed over.
Damn it, what's going on? Ye Kong was extremely unhappy. He was never one to swallow his anger, so he immediately used all his spirit force to resist that aura.
However, his expression didn't change as he said, "Grandmaster Yi, it's not that I want to work for anyone. I just thought that you wanted to invite me for help. Now it seems … I was wrong."
"Invite you for help?" Yi Manying laughed and waved her hand. "That's not necessary. Our Yi Family's low-grade and low-level talismans are all imported from the authentic Cloud Talisman Sect."
Although Yi Manying's words were polite, her tone couldn't help but show her contempt for Ye Kong.
Actually, it wasn't wrong to think about it. For someone like Ye Kong with a mixed spirit root, he would only be able to stay in the third level of Qi Refinement for the rest of his life. He wouldn't even have any hope of entering the middle stage of Qi Refinement. Therefore, even if he could make all kinds of talismans, they would only be low-grade and low-level.
Very quickly, Ye Kong already understood what she meant. The feeling of being looked down upon by others was not a good feeling, especially being looked down upon by a beauty. More importantly, Ye Kong knew that he would definitely soar to the heavens and ascend to the Divine Realm.
Ye Kong felt like he had a million dollars in his pocket and was looked down upon while eating noodles. He couldn't help but have the urge to take out a million dollars and show it to the other party.
However, Ye Kong wasn't that childish. If the other party knew that he had a cultivation technique that would definitely allow him to ascend, he would probably be killed in the blink of an eye. This wasn't a joke. In Ye Kong's eyes, his cultivation technique was even more valuable than the Pipa Beads.
Ye Kong's face turned red, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye. He smiled faintly and said, "Since that's the case, then forget it. Actually, it's quite easy for me to earn a hundred spirit stones a month if I work alone."
Yi Manying suddenly retracted her spiritual pressure and smiled faintly. "If I remember correctly, Little Friend Xia's sect is the Bone Spirit Sect, right? Don't tell me that your sect doesn't even give out Creation Pills and wants to obtain them from our Yi Family?"
Ye Kong was shocked when he heard this. What a shrewd woman. She was already suspicious of his identity from a single sentence.
Actually, this wasn't the only thing that made Yi Manying suspicious. She was already suspicious of Ye Kong's amorous feelings, so when she was talking to the Hundred Insect Stronghold's Sect Leader, she couldn't help but ask about the Bone Spirit Sect. She found out that it was a third-rate sect of the Barbarian Tribe. The Yuanying Ancestor had passed away and there was no successor, so it was on the verge of closing its doors.
Just now, when she used her spiritual pressure on Ye Kong, it was also a kind of test. With this pressure, she discovered that although Ye Kong was only at Qi Training Stage 3, he had an extremely dense spiritual energy. Hence, she became even more suspicious of his identity.
"I naturally have a supply of Creation Pills in my sect, but I might have to stay in the Hundred Insect Stronghold for a period of time, so I'm a little short on pills," Ye Kong replied.
Yi Manying smiled. Although she knew that this kid might not be from the Bone Spirit Sect, she didn't want to cause trouble. She just wanted to take revenge on him for talking nonsense before. She had already achieved her goal of making this kid nervous and embarrassed.
"So that's how it is." Yi Manying nodded and said, "Our Yi Family's store naturally has a sufficient stock of Creation Pills. Little friend Xia, if you want, I can give you a discounted price. Two spirit stones for one pill, as many as you want."
Ye Kong cursed in his heart. What an unscrupulous merchant! People usually buy pills for one spirit stone outside, but you want two spirit stones for a discounted price?
However, these Creation Pills were priceless, so it was quite difficult to buy them. Two spirit stones it was. His priority was to quickly reach the fourth stage of Qi Refining.
"Thank you, Martial Ancestor Yi." Ye Kong cupped his hands and bowed. He originally wanted to ask about the pill for his mother's face, but it seemed like the conversation wouldn't be harmonious, so he might as well not ask.
"You're welcome." Yi Manying smiled faintly and said, "People say that those with five-elemental mixed spiritual roots will never be able to break through the early stages of Qi Refining. I'm actually very curious."
"Martial Ancestor Yi, just wait and see."
