Chapter 12: Fatty and Skinny

  The price of a low-grade spirit stone is still within the expected range. Because this talisman was made in imitation of a two-spirit stone talisman, it should be more expensive than the standard flame talisman for a low-grade spirit stone. The purchase price is that of a low-grade spirit stone, so the selling price must be higher than the standard spirit talisman's one-spirit stone price.

  Nowadays, giving out a low-grade spirit stone for the acquisition price is surprising. If it's so expensive to buy, how much will it cost to sell? Is this Flame Symbol already at the level of the original version, selling for two spirit stones?

  The fox demon returned to its doubts, and since there was money to be made, why not sell it. Yuan Tian hurriedly took out fifteen more self-made flame talismans and handed them over to the store clerk.

  Selling sixteen Flame Talismans, totaling twenty-four low-grade Spirit Stones. Spent twenty Spirit Stones to buy one hundred sheets of talisman paper, and spent four Spirit Stones to buy two Golden Shield Talismans. It seems that counterfeiting or using high-priced Spirit Talismans as a template is more profitable.

  Having gotten what he wanted, Yuan Tian didn't linger any longer. He went back to adjust his state, tonight he was going to crazily imprint Flame Talismans.

  Not long after Yuan Tian left, the short and thin shop assistant on the second floor also hastily left Qi Cuo Ge and went to the bookstore across the street. Then the bookstore closed its doors and hung up a "closed" sign.

  "Shi Baozi, how come you have time to come here today?" Mr. Dongguo apparently knew this short and thin shop assistant very well, but why did he call him Shi Baozi.

  "There's something good for you to see" said the short and thin shop assistant, with a cracking sound of his joints. When I looked at him again, he was still that short and thin shop employee. Clearly, he was actually a person of medium height and plump build.

  His belly bulged out two fists higher than his chest, and his chin and neck were piled with ring upon ring of flesh. He didn't look like a grocery store clerk, but rather some wealthy official from somewhere.

  Shi Dong took out a flame talisman and handed it to Dong Guo, who looked bewildered.

  "This isn't a talisman made by Qianyan Shijie, and you still have it in your collection?" Mr. Dongguo looked at the flame talisman and stroked his goat-like beard.

  "Take another look", said Shi Baizi with a playful glint in his eye as he gazed at Dong Guo.

  "What? No! This is a fake, who could have made it so similar? How did you get your hands on it?" Mr. Dongguo's face turned solemn and he asked anxiously.

  "You're still asking me, isn't this a good apprentice of yours who drew the symbol? When did you old fox take in such a good apprentice without even telling me?" Shidong continued to tease Dongguo Lang.

  "My disciple? I've never accepted a disciple in my entire life as Dong Guo, where did this good disciple come from?" Mr. Dong Guo found Shifu's words to be inexplicable.

  "A tall and thin miscellaneous disciple of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, you gave him a book, is that right?" In Shiguangzi's view, Dong Guo Cang was simply pretending to be stupid. If he hadn't given it to someone else, could he have stolen it?

  "Could it be that this symbol was drawn by Little Friend, and the book I gave him just a few days ago?" Mr. Dongguo seemed somewhat incredulous, but Shi Baizhu had no need to deceive him.

  "It was him, this young brother who took away Qianyan Shifu's Flame Token yesterday and came to sell Ling Tokens today. I was also shocked when I saw it, it's too similar. If not for the difference in spiritual power, I couldn't even tell them apart." Shi Dong's excitement grew as he spoke, his chubby face quivering with each word, spittle flying far and wide.

  "This! This spiritual energy is actually being guided by the Wooden Spiritual Root, how is this possible?" Mr. Dong Guo was clearly shocked and didn't even bother to dodge the spit flying towards him from Shi Houzi's mouth.

  Shi Baizi was so excited not only because of this flame symbol, but also because of the hot figure of Qianyan Shijie that appeared in his mind. That slender waist, paired with a violently swollen chest. Thinking of this, Shi Dong couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

  The fire spirit symbol made by Nalaqian is so rare, not only because the text pattern is high, but also because the spiritual power is introduced from the fire spirit root. Such an unstable attribute can successfully create a fire spirit symbol. Not only is the ability to write symbols exceptional, but also the control of spiritual power is extremely high.

  But Yuan Tian actually used an even more unstable wooden spirit root to infuse spiritual energy, let alone that he was a beginner at crafting talismans. A young man who had only cultivated his Qi for three layers and had only learned how to craft talismans for a few days. Relying on a book of talisman-crafting experience and a finished spirit talisman, he managed to create a flame talisman with such high difficulty. It's even more unbelievable that he hadn't even bought the most basic "Talisman Crafting Fundamentals" jade scroll.

  "Monster" Shì Bāo Zǐ and Dong Guō Xiānshēng shouted at the same time.

  They came up with this result and the two of them got together. They started studying the origins of Yuan Tian, a freak character who created the system, how to observe him, how to interact with him, how to win him over...

  "Achoo! Achoo!" Yuantian, who was flying back and forth, let out two loud sneezes. What's going on? Did the strong winds today give me a cold? He tightened his clothes, but it shouldn't be like this - after all, he was a cultivator at the peak of the third layer, about to break through to the fourth layer.

  Just as I was thinking, the wind started to pick up, and the southeast wind grew stronger. Fortunately, it's a tailwind; otherwise, this little paper boat would have been in trouble. I gave the little paper boat an extra boost of spiritual energy and hurried on my way. The sky darkened, and I'm afraid there's going to be a big rainstorm.

  Rumbling... Thunder boomed in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.

  The strong wind howled, blowing the trees by the road to lean east and west. The rain poured down, and soon there were small puddles on the ground, with bubbles rising from the raindrops hitting the water.

  Yuanyuan quickly picked it up and put away the small paper boat. Even so, it was still a bit wet. Let's dry it out and try again; if not, next time we'll have to find someone to fix it for us.

  Strong winds whipped up heavy rain like countless whips, fiercely lashing against Yuan Tian's body. His originally tight clothes were now thoroughly stuck to his body, with every rib visible and countable even through the fabric. This damned weather changed its face in an instant, and it wasn't even summer yet, so why was it raining this heavily?

  The rain is getting heavier and heavier, soon it's like a deluge. The rain in the sky looks just like a huge waterfall! A gust of wind blows by, and this dense rain that was like a waterfall is blown away like smoke, like fog, like dust.

  It's still familiar here, and going west is not far from the mountain cave where Yuan Tian once hid.

  Thanks to the waterproof bag, otherwise the 100 new talismans would have been ruined. Yuantian put the bag on his head, spread his legs and ran towards the mountain cave with all his might.

  If it doesn't stop raining, we won't be able to go out for dinner tonight. Running into the cave, Yuantian's first thought was about food.

  "Gurgle..." Just thinking about it, my stomach started growling. I only had some dry rations on the road at noon, which wasn't enough to fill me up. After being drenched in the rain and then running just now, my stomach was already empty.

  What bad luck! The dry rations are gone, I'm afraid we'll have to go hungry today. Yuan Tian looked at the bundle and found that not even a crumb was left. If this rain doesn't stop, tonight we'll have to sleep in this damp cave on an empty stomach.

  Just when Yuan Tian was cold and hungry, Shi Dong and Dong Guo Cang were having a big feast at the Drunken Moon Building. The drunken shrimp, drunken crab, beggar's chicken, and four喜丸子 were all made with carnivorous spiritual beast materials. Gua Si Er, Long Xiu Cai, Cuì Dōng Sǔn, Yuè Lán Piàn, were all made with fresh spiritual vegetables.
