Chapter 88 Selling Talismans

  "What? The same Five Elements Talisman, when I bought it from you, one set cost ten pieces of Low-Grade Spirit Stone, but now you're selling it back to me for only five pieces of Low-Grade Spirit Stone. You're ripping people off!"

  In the shop where Xiao Fan bought the talisman more than a month ago, Xiao Fan shouted at the shopkeeper with a face full of anger.

  "This set of talismans can only be considered as the lowest of the low-grade, and giving you five pieces of low-grade spirit stones is already a lot. If you go to other shops, they will definitely offer a lower price than me." The old man said with a dismissive tone.

  "Hey, old man, I've spent so much money on blank paper at your place recently. Don't you have any face to show me?" At this time, the little fatty came up with an unfriendly face and stared at the old man.

  In the past month, Xiao Fan has consumed a large quantity of blank symbol paper, most of which was purchased through Little Fatty. When Little Fatty made the purchases, Old Man's face was full of smiles and he was extremely flattering, forming a huge contrast with his current behavior.

  "The old man said, 'The price I'm asking is the most reasonable on the whole street. If you want it, buy it; if not, then forget it. Don't block me from doing business here.'"

  "A set of eight low-grade spirit stones." Xiao Fan said in a deep voice.

  "Hmph..." The old man grunted and turned his head away, ignoring Xiao Fan.

  "In that case, don't regret it." Xiao Fan coldly smiled and pulled Zhang Chuchu's small hand, directly turning around to leave.

  "Don't regret it later." The little fatty also let out a cold snort and followed behind Xiao Feng, leaving with Qin Jian.

  After the four men walked out of the store, they didn't leave immediately. Instead, they sat down at a tea house across the street, sipping their tea and discussing what to do next.

  "Xiao Gege, what are we going to do next?" Zhang Chuchu asked with a faint blush on her small face.

  Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "Originally I planned to sell all the talismans at once to avoid trouble, but now it seems we can only retail them ourselves."

  "Right, let's set up a stall right across from this store and snatch all the business from inside." Little fatty said with a sly smile.

  "It's not easy to snatch business from this store, after all, they are an old shop with fixed customers and suppliers, while we have few goods and no customers. As long as I can sell these few hundred talismans on me, I'll be satisfied." Xiao Fan slightly shook his head, knowing in his heart how difficult it was to expand the business, but seeing Xiaopang, Zhang Chuchu, and Qin Jian's eager expressions, he couldn't bear to discourage them.

  On this street, setting up a stall does not require any fees, as long as there is space, you can set up a stall and do business at any time. Therefore, Xiao Fan and his group quickly set up a small stall around them and started selling talismans.

  Half a day passed and they didn't sell a single talisman, nor did many people come to take a look.

  "What's going on? The prices here are cheaper than in the store, but nobody wants to buy. Everyone goes to the store to buy." said Zhang Chuchu, a green-clothed girl, muttering to herself.

  Ordinary low-grade five-element talismans are sold in stores for 10 pieces of inferior spirit stones, while Xiao Fan and his group priced them at 8 pieces of inferior spirit stones per dozen, saving two pieces compared to the store price. Yet, surprisingly, no one bought them.

  "They are worried about the quality of our talismans. That store may be expensive, but their quality is guaranteed. We, on the other hand, are new to this and no one knows what kind of quality we have, so they don't dare buy from us easily." Xiao Fan said.

  "What's going to happen now?" Zhang Chuchu asked.

  "I believe that heaven will not disappoint those who work hard, as long as we continue to persist, there will be results." Xiao Fan smiled slightly.

  "Go back first and come again tomorrow."

  As the sky was already late, the four people had no choice but to pack up and go back to rest. They came out again early the next day to set up their stall.

  The next day, dozens of people came to visit, but only one young woman bought a dozen, earning the four of them eight pieces of low-grade spirit stones.

  On the third day, the four of them came early again to set up their stalls, but no one made a purchase.

  Three days passed, and they had only obtained eight pieces of low-grade spirit stones. The patience of the four was almost exhausted.

  "Hey, why isn't anyone buying?"

  On the fourth day, half a day had passed until noon, and still no one came to buy.

  "Never mind, let's go. There are too few types of talismans and the quality is too low, so they're not very useful. Nobody wants to buy them." Xiao Fan slightly shook his head, preparing to pack up his stall and leave.

  "Hey, aren't you our first and second place winners?" Just as the four of them were about to pack up and leave, a voice with a provocative tone came from behind.

  The four of them turned their heads and saw that Liu Ren's face was full of sly smiles as he walked towards them with a group of people.

  "It's you." Seeing Liu Ren, Xiao Fan and the other three people didn't have a good expression, especially Little Fatty, who was furious.

  "It's been months since we last saw you, how did you guys end up so poor that you're out here selling stuff? Ah, ah, what a bunch of country bumpkins." Liu Ren said with a mischievous grin on his face.

  "You're looking for a fight." Little Fatty's anger erupted, and he was about to charge over.

  "Don't be impulsive." Xiao Fan pulled Little Fatty back, transmitting a message to him: "Don't rush, wait for now and settle the account with him properly later. Moreover, we can take this opportunity to advertise the talismans given to us."

  The little fatty was extremely intelligent and immediately understood Xiao Fan's meaning as soon as he heard his words. He chuckled and surprisingly quickly suppressed the anger in his heart.

  "Huh? What's with the bruise on your face? You weren't hit by someone, were you?" At this time, the green-clothed girl's sharp eyes discovered that Liu Ren's face was a bit unusual and she called out in surprise.

  "It seems like you were really beaten up, tsk tsk, you little brat wouldn't have been flirting with the senior sister and then got beaten up, would you? How come you weren't beaten to death... no, no, it should be that you were expelled from the sect instead."

  "I'm telling you, you're really something. In the past, for the sake of cultivation, you cut off the most precious thing a man has and became a rootless man. Since it's no use anymore, why do you still want to flirt with Shifu?"

  "Yes, yes, this is what they mean by 'having a mind full of ideas but lacking the strength to carry them out', haha..."

  "No wonder your face is so smooth, without a single whisker."

  Xiao Fang and Xiao Pang took turns speaking, fabricating a story about Liu Ren's past experience with his uterus, instantly attracting countless onlookers.

  "You're talking nonsense, I didn't flirt with Sister Shifu." The people around all cast strange glances at Liu Ren, some even glanced at the center of his two legs, seeing this situation Liu Ren was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Liu Ren's face indeed had a greenish wound, which was left behind when he was hit by his fellow disciple during their sparring session. The handsome face with a greenish scar was really unacceptable to him, let alone being randomly talked about by Xiao Fan and Little Fatty.

  "Hmm, I see, you can't be considered a man anymore, indeed unable to flirt with the teacher." Little fatty said with a smile.

  "You... I'm done with you guys." The strange gazes of the countless people around him made Liu Ren's anger surge to his head, and he instantly lost his rationality, charging towards the two.

  "I've been waiting for you."

  Xiao Fan smiled and grasped a talisman in his hand, pouring four sword yuan forces into it, and then threw it at Liu Ren.

  "Ah..."

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

  At this moment, Liu Ren was already furious and didn't notice the talisman thrown by Xiao Fan. When the talisman approached him, his face changed drastically, and he hastily raised his protective true yuan.

  A talisman suddenly exploded, and the powers of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth were in disarray. The five elements were interdependent and mutually restrictive. With this one talisman thrown out at the same time, the resulting power was beyond Xiao Fan's expectations. Even with Liu Ren's mid-stage condensed spirit realm strength, his true yuan force shield only lasted for less than a moment before shattering, and then the explosive force took effect on Liu Ren's body.

  "Ah..."

  Liu Ren's entire body was blown up with blood spraying wildly, his clothes were torn to shreds, and his whole body was stained red with blood, extremely tragic.

  "Cough, cough. It's a waste that you're a strong mid-stage cultivator in the Condensing Spirit Realm, yet you were injured by my lowest-level talisman... Ah..." Xiao Fan sighed and said.

  "Right, this talisman is only worth eight pieces of low-grade spirit stone. In other words, as a mid-stage Condensed Spirit Realm expert, you were actually defeated by just eight pieces of low-grade spirit stone." Little Fatty also spoke out in surprise.

  "What is this talisman? How can it possess such immense power? It's truly inconceivable."

  "Wow, this set of talismans actually only costs eight pieces of low-grade spirit stones. Eight pieces of low-grade spirit stones can defeat a mid-stage Condensing Spirit Realm expert..."

  The onlookers, upon hearing this, all began to discuss it heatedly. They looked at Xiao Fang's hand holding the talisman with surprise and fervor, while looking at Liu Ren with thick disdain and contempt.

  "You... you guys... wow..."

  Hearing the sarcastic remarks from the two of them, combined with the disdainful glances from the surrounding crowd, Liu Ren's anger reached his heart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, fainting on the spot.

  "I want to buy ten dozen."

  "I want one too."

  "I've got everything covered."

  Xiao Fan and Xiao Pang's words instantly made the scene uncontrollable, among the onlookers were those with extraordinary cultivation, they saw the huge effect of the talisman after all, how could they remain calm? As a result, a large crowd surrounded Xiao Fan's stall, scrambling to buy talismans.

  In less than a moment, all the five-element talismans on Xiao Fan's body were sold out, and they had several thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones.
