Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Welcome - Eh, it's you?"

Inside the store.

Zhang Jing, who had been closing his eyes to rest, immediately opened his eyes with the entrances of the visitors. An incredibly polite smile appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, the ones who entered were two familiar faces.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

Chu Lingyun and the other exclaimed at the same time, surprised expression appeared on their faces instantly.

The next moment, they both glanced at each other, astonished and horrified.

Before entering here, they never expected that the owner of this mysterious talisman shop causing a massive transformation in the market would be their 'Brother Zhang'!

This feeling was unspeakable.

After a long round of silence.

"Brother Zhang, you own this store?" Deng An gulped and asked tentatively.

Zhang Jing responded with a nod while laughing.

It is him!

Deng An's heart was shocked.

He couldn't help but look at the talismans on the counter, which were so dazzling and then he stole a glance at Zhang Jing with a complicated expression.

Is this the top-ranked team? It indeed differs from the other teams massively.

Thinking about his previous guess, Deng An undoubtedly understood that only after a month into the team, his Brother Zhang had already made friends with a Senior Talismanist.

Moreover, it seems they share pretty good relations.

Otherwise, it would not be...

It triggers him another thought- The condition for exchanging demonic cores for talismans he saw when entering.

Deng An, of course, knew the uses of demon cores. They are generally used in Alchemy. The Pill Master using demon core materials can't be all that bad.

On the other hand,

Chu Lingyun quickly recovered from her shock. Suddenly remembering her purpose for this trip, she let out a charming smile and softly spoke:

"Ling Yun is pleased to see you, Brother Zhang."

"I never imagined that our meeting after parting would be like this. The scene of our first meet on the Spirit Crane is still fresh to me."

Zhang Jing couldn't deny but smiled and asked:

"Does Fairy Chu want to buy talismans today?"

"Brother Zhang, do you know about the other talisman shops in the market reducing their prices today?" Chu Lingyun asked concernedly without a direct response.

"No problem, let them just reduce their prices."

Zhang Jing remained calm.

Seeing this, Chu Lingyun bit her lip, tentatively asking,"Brother Zhang, when Lingyun walked in, there was a sign stating the exchange of Demon Cores for Talismans would be 20% cheaper, but the deal is for three days only."

"Wondering...if the time today passed or not?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhang Jing asked enthusiastically, "Fairy Chu, do you want to exchange demon cores for talismans?"

Chu Lingyun nodded and straightforwardly said: "I'm tasked by a clan brother. All I wanted is to use some low-level demon cores to exchange for some low-level talismans the cheaper way from your end."

"That's possible." Zhang Jing replied.

"Also," Chu Lingyun was slightly embarrassed, "We plan to exchange a few more batches later, can we still get the same price then?"

"Brother Zhang, could you accommodate us considering we are from the same state?"

Chu Lingyun's eyes pleaded subtly.

"Since Fairy Chu has asked, it will be naturally no problem."

Zhang Jing assured with a smile.

Having demon cores for three days was just a gimmick. He would love to trade in case anyone has demon cores.

After all, never upset anyone, especially not the Tao Merit.

At the spot.

Observing how Zhang Jing could make decisions with such ease, Chu Lingyun was taken aback and thought to herself: "It seems that Brother Zhang shares a special relationship with the Talisman Master behind him."

Apparently, she and Deng An were thinking in the same wrong direction.

After a round of trade transactions.

Chu Lingyun left graciously, taking Deng An with her.

Behind them.

"How many more batches are there? It's just a pity that they are all Demon Cores of devils from the initial stage of Qi Refinement." Zhang Jing looked calmly at the fifteen Demon Cores in his hand.

It seems that the matter of making Middle-Grade Charms is now urgent.

Zhang Jing knew that at this moment, the stronger members of each team must be holding many Demon Cores of devils from the middle stage of Qi Refinement, it's just that his own low-grade charms are not attractive to them.

As for what Chu Lingyun just said about the prices of low-grade charms in the market having decreased all at once.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

In fact, Zhang Jing knew about this situation early this morning.

However, knowing is one thing, but he didn't take any particular actions, just treating it as a spectacle.

On one hand, the amount of the opponents' price cuts is much less than the discount he offered for exchanging charms for Demon Cores, so this does not affect his collection of Demon Cores.

And on the other hand.

Zhang Jing saw no need to follow their price reductions.

His selling price for charms is only slightly higher than the buying price of the Luodu team, so instead of reducing his prices, why not just sell all the charms directly to the team?

Isn't that more convenient than selling each charm individually in the shop?

The current actions of these talismanists suit Zhang Jing's intentions perfectly, since he has fewer customers buying charms with Tao Merits, he can use the saved time to produce, no, to print out more charms.

Thinking of this.

Zhang Jing slowly turned his body, his profound gaze seemed to penetrate through the thick walls and look towards those several shops selling low-grade charms.

"This degree is just right, I hope each of you, senior brothers, will know when to stop, and not... bring disaster upon yourselves!"

His low voice suddenly echoed inside the store.

...

As the sun sets, the twilight is vast.

There was no decrease in the number of cultivators passing by on Double Phoenix Street, the noise of the crowd was hustle and bustle.

Creak——

Right when business was booming, Zhang Jing gently closed the shop door and then disappeared into the crowd.

He didn't even lock the door.

Of course, there was no need to lock the door.

All the valuable items were all in the storage space, and besides, Zhang Jing had casually set up a spiritual power restriction inside the shop.

On the other side.

In a small palace of the county mansion in Langya.

Several old men sat facing each other, their expressions at ease.

Beneath them sat four or five young men with equally relaxed expressions on their faces.

"Haha, it's really a bolt from the blue today, such a big drama." An old man laughed aloud.

"Who can say? These Junior Brothers have been forced to lower their prices by a new talismanist that popped up from nowhere. Last night, even people came to my place to complain, Tsk!"

"It's really a mystery, who could that Junior Brother be?"

"He doesn't stand out, as if he just popped out of nowhere."

In the midst of the conversation.

Another old man suddenly had a Scorching Sun Charm in his hand, he looked it over and over again, unconsciously praising, "It's really well drawn, at least in terms of low-grade charms, I'm inferior."

And at this moment.

Senior Brother Yan who had been listening for a while, seeing that Scorching Sun Charm, his face suddenly showed a strange color, and he asked tentatively:

"Gentlemen, I have been in isolation for talisman making, just came out today. May I ask if the mysterious talismanist you just mentioned, does his store happen to be on Double Phoenix Street, next to Senior Brother He's Elixir Hut?"

"That's right, we were all wondering about his identity."

"Gentlemen," Senior Brother Yan took a deep breath, then slowly said: "No need to wonder, that person is our Junior Brother Zhang from the Luodu team, he just joined the Dao Institute this year. It's normal that you don't recognize him."

The palace suddenly fell silent.

A moment later.

Junior Brother Yan, are you sure he just joined the Dao Institute this year?" someone asked with a shocked tone.

Senior Brother Yan nodded, there was also a bit of shock in his eyes.

"He and those two monsters... are from the same year? He possesses such a talent for talisman making, even compared to those two, he might not be much inferior."

Once this matter settles down, the inner courts of Thousand Law Pavilion should start acting."

An elder suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help but show envy.

Then he saw him looking at Senior Brother Yan with a strange gaze:

"Senior Brother, your three teams... are really ... difficult to separate. Those two monsters made quite a name for themselves on the Luodu battlefield, initially, we thought that Luodu was a bit lacking this time, but it turns out that your trump card is here!"
