Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 40 The Death of the Nascent Soul Ancestor
The True Immortal Realm, East District of the Shanty Town, Block C Market.

The weather was fine, and Ronan took out a small stool and a bundle from his storage bag.

Place the small stool on the ground and sit down.

Then, he opened the bundle and began selling talismans.

He hadn't sold all 600 talismans he had previously sold, so he planned to continue selling them this time.

When Luo Nan arrived at the market, the sun was already high in the sky.

The market was crowded with people at this time.

As soon as Luo Nan set up his stall, many cultivators gathered around.

After looking at the stall for a while, he decided to buy a talisman.

The opening was faster than ever before, which slightly surprised Ronan.

"Could it be that I bought my own talisman before and became a familiar face, so the cultivators came here to buy talismans?" Ronan wondered.

Subsequently, more and more people began buying talismans.

Ronan was even more surprised by this growth trend.

Soon, in just one morning, all six hundred or so talismans were sold out.

What happened today?

As Ronan packed up his stall, he wondered to himself.

He bought about six hundred sheets of yellow paper and a cage of chickens in the market, and then went to his shed.

When they reached the area with the sheds, they saw Lin Shan walking with his hands behind his back on the path between the fields, inspecting the spirit fields.

The spirit farmers who were working in the spirit fields all looked over when they saw Ronan approaching.

When Ronan looked at them, the lingers all looked away.

Lin Shan trembled slightly upon seeing Luo Nan.

Ronan's infamous reputation has been circulating in the East Slum for some time now.

He severed the head of the Grandmaster in one fell swoop, causing many low-level cultivators to exclaim that he was ruthless.

The people in this area know exactly when Ronan arrived at the True Immortal Realm.

Seeing that Ronan had killed a Qi Refining Level 7 Talisman Master in such a short time, they became even more convinced that Ronan was a collateral descendant of the True Immortal Luo of the Reality Sect.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for a rogue cultivator to reach this level in such a short time.

They believed that Ronan's ability to cultivate to this level must be due to encountering his ancestors, from whom he received assistance.

As a Foundation Establishment True Person, he was very wealthy. If he were to be even slightly generous to his collateral descendants, Ronan could obtain a great deal of cultivation resources.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, it's been a long time..."

When Lin Shan saw Ronan, he instinctively wanted to avoid him, remembering Ronan's fearsome reputation.

But he managed to control himself, stepped forward, rubbed his hands together, and greeted Ronan.

However, both his posture and expression seemed somewhat awkward.

"Deacon Lin," Ronan returned the greeting.

"I dare not accept the title of steward. You can just call me Lin Shan from now on," Lin Shan said.

Ronan said, "Let's address each other as fellow Daoist," and then, remembering something, added:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know what has happened recently?"

"When I sold the talismans today, the speed at which I produced them was extremely fast."

Lin Shan glanced around and whispered, "Didn't the True Sect go to war with the Longevity Sect a few days ago?"

“Yes.” Ronan nodded.

In the marketplace, he witnessed a flying boat rise from Mount Huanzhen and fly off to one side.

Lin Shan said, "There are rumors that the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Longevity Sect has died, and the strength of the entire sect has greatly decreased."

"The members of the True Sect currently hold an overwhelming advantage."

"The Longevity Sect can only rely on the mountain-protecting formation to put up a stubborn resistance."

"Therefore, the True Realm Sect prepared to once again summon cultivators from all over the Immortal Realm to attack the Longevity Sect, determined to conquer the Longevity Sect in one fell swoop and seize its spiritual veins."

"When attacking other sects, the disciples of the sect always benefit the most."

"But independent cultivators can also get a share of the spoils by following sect disciples to attack other sects."

"The Immortal Realm of the Longevity Sect also has independent cultivators." "The wealth you take from them is yours, and the sect will not take it back."

"If we surround and kill the disciples of the Longevity Sect, the good items we obtain will be ours, and the True Sect will not take them."

"This is why so many independent cultivators are willing to participate in sect battles."

"It seems that some rogue cultivators who have caught wind of this have already begun purchasing talismans, magical artifacts, pills, and other such items."

'So that's how it is.'

After pondering for a moment, Ronan looked at Lin Shan and asked, "Fellow Daoist, haven't you considered going?"

"No, no." Lin Shan waved his hand.
"Although the True Sect currently holds an overwhelming advantage, in a fight, talismans and magical artifacts fly everywhere, and anyone who gets hit will either die or be crippled, making it extremely dangerous."

"If I were younger, I might really want to give it a shot."

"But now that I have a wife and daughter, I dare not do it again."

"Perhaps, in another forty years or so, when my lifespan is about to end, I will go all out."

After exchanging a few more words with Lin Shan, Ronan took his leave and headed towards his shed.

"Brother, brother!"

A child's innocent voice rang out from Ronan's left.

But it was Wang Xiaocong, wearing straw sandals and carrying a small wooden tube, who came running over with a pattering sound.

He ran to Ronan's feet, reached out his fleshy hand, and grabbed Ronan's trouser leg:
"Brother, it's been so long since I've seen you. Where have you been?"

"Let's have a cricket fight!"

As he spoke, he raised the small wooden tube.

"Wang Xiaocong, stop bothering me... Fellow Daoist Luo!"

Li Yao, who was mending Wang Xiaocong's clothes inside the house, turned pale when she heard Wang Xiaocong's voice outside.

She hurriedly put down her needle and thread and ran out.

Walking up to Ronan, he immediately bent down and slapped Wang Xiaocong's hand off Ronan's trouser leg, then picked Wang Xiaocong up.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, the child is ignorant."

After apologizing to Ronan with a forced smile, he carried Wang Xiaocong and hurriedly returned to his shed.

Back in the shed, Li Yao closed the door, her heart pounding.

She had also heard of Ronan's infamous reputation.

Thinking back to Wang Xiaocong's disrespect towards Ronan earlier, he couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

"Mom, why did you hit me?"

Wang Xiaocong was covering the spot where Li Yao had hit him earlier, tears welling up in his eyes.

"You need to be polite to that older brother from now on!"

Li Yao squatted down, straightened Wang Xiaocong's body, and gave him instructions.

“Why? My brother and I were always like this before, and he never hit me. Only you hit me,” Wang Xiaocong argued.

Li Yao lightly tapped Wang Xiaocong again, her pretty face showing a serious expression:

“You must listen to your mother. You must be polite when you meet that brother in the future. Otherwise, if I see you being rude again, you will not be allowed to leave the house.”

"I know, what a weird thing..." Wang Xiaocong glanced at the ground, pouted, and muttered his reply.

……

Ronan returned to the hut and immediately laid out various items for drawing talismans on the square table.

After killing the chicken and preparing the talisman ink, they began to draw talismans on yellow paper.

Since I know that talismans are selling well recently, I should take this opportunity to sell them.

They might even raise the price a bit.

After pondering for a moment, Ronan focused his mind and placed the talisman brush, soaked in talisman ink, onto the yellow paper.

He wielded his brush with incredible speed, drawing one after another mid-grade first-tier talisman after another—protective talisman, lightness talisman, freezing talisman, and fire talisman.

Of course, most of them are amulets and talismans for protection.

After selling talismans several times, he found that protective talismans and lightness talismans were the best sellers.

'Looks like everyone still values ​​their lives,' Ronan thought to himself.
