My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

Chu Ci thought about it and found the conditions offered by the other party to be very tempting, but he still didn't understand some of the details, so he continued to ask:

"But I still have some things to deal with, so I may not be able to stay here forever. I'm afraid it's really difficult to hand in the talismans every year."

Shopkeeper Zhang seemed to have known that Chu Ci would ask this question. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Our Red Horse Merchant Alliance is spread across more than a dozen countries. Basically, we have branches in larger cities. You can hand in your talisman at any store."

Having said this, Shopkeeper Zhang paused, took a sip of the spiritual tea in front of him and continued:

"And the 5000 talismans I mentioned don't have to be delivered once a year. As long as they are not delayed for more than ten years or delivered in advance, it's fine. We monks often go into seclusion for months or even years, so the Merchant Alliance has naturally taken this into consideration. In a word, joining our Red Horse Merchant Alliance will definitely only bring benefits and no disadvantages."

Chu Ci nodded and thought silently in his heart. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with joining this business alliance. And through the conversation just now, he got a message, so he asked:

"If I join the Merchant Alliance, can I use the teleportation arrays between the different sub-colons?"

This made Zhang slightly stunned, and he was secretly surprised that the other party had guessed that their business alliance had a teleportation array. He did not answer directly, but asked back:

"How did you determine that our business alliance has its own teleportation array?"

Chu Ci explained: "The Chima Merchant Alliance has so many branches. If they want to transfer goods between them, they must use a teleportation array."

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and said, "You are right, Daoist. Whenever we choose a city to open a branch, we first need to build a teleportation array. However, the use of this teleportation array requires Daoist to complete a year of talisman tasks first. I don't need to explain the details of this."

Chu Ci understood what Zhang meant. Only after handing in a certain number of talismans, could one be considered to have officially joined the alliance. In other words, you had to create benefits for the business alliance first before you could enjoy the corresponding benefits, including the use of the teleportation array.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ci made a decision: "In this case, I will choose to join the Red Horse Merchant Alliance."

After hearing Chu Ci's words, Shopkeeper Zhang clapped his hands and laughed, appearing very happy: "Haha! Great, I welcome you to join me!"

For Chu Ci, joining the Chima Merchant Alliance not only means being able to obtain more resources and opportunities, but more importantly, he can use the Merchant Alliance's teleportation array, which is much more convenient than going to find City Lord Qin who is in the Jindan stage.

At this time, an old man walked in. Seeing this old man, Shopkeeper Zhang immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Song, come here. Let me introduce you. This is the Taoist friend who has just joined our business alliance. Oh, by the way, I don't know your last name?"

The following sentence is directed to Chu Ci.

"My name is Qi Fei." Chu Ci said casually. He still carried the disguise talisman with him. When he came here before, he also called himself Qi. Although he could join the Red Horse Merchant Alliance, it was still more down-to-earth to use a pseudonym.

However, Chu Ci was somewhat surprised at Shopkeeper Zhang's attitude, because the cultivation level of Mr. Song who came in was only the second level of Qi Refining, and Shopkeeper Zhang, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, actually stood up to greet him, which made Chu Ci feel a little unbelievable.

Mr. Song just raised his eyelids and glanced at Chu Ci, then said calmly, "Welcome Fellow Daoist Qi to join our Red Horse Alliance."

Then he turned to Shopkeeper Zhang and asked, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I brought the spiritual stones, but where are the talismans?"

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't seem to care about Mr. Song's attitude, and asked Chu Ci:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, please carry the talisman with you. For such a large business, we also need to inspect the goods first."

Chu Ci reached out and took out a storage ring and placed it on the table. Shopkeeper Zhang picked it up and handed the ring to Mr. Song first.

Although Mr. Song's cultivation level is not high, it is not difficult to see from the actions of Manager Zhang that he holds a very important position in this branch.

Chu Ci secretly guessed in his heart that perhaps it was because Mr. Song had a special identity or background in the Chamber of Commerce.

After a moment, Mr. Song looked at the talisman and nodded, then said to Shopkeeper Zhang, "The talisman is of good quality. According to our previous agreement, this is a spirit stone." As he spoke, he took out a storage ring and placed it on the table.

Shopkeeper Zhang took the storage ring and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he said to Chu Ci, "Fellow Daoist Qi, the spirit stone has been tested and there is no problem."

Chu Ci checked and saw that all 400,000 spirit stones were lying quietly inside, so he put them away.

When Mr. Song saw that Chu Ci accepted the spirit stone, it meant that the deal was done, so he turned around and left without saying a word. Shopkeeper Zhang even said hello and saw him off.

After the other party went downstairs, Shopkeeper Zhang turned around and smiled apologetically at Chu Ci, saying, "Our Mr. Song is indeed not very good at talking. I hope Fellow Daoist Qi will not be offended."

Chu Ci waved his hand gently, indicating that he didn't care, but there was a hint of doubt between his brows: "However, looking at Mr. Song's cultivation, it doesn't seem to be very profound..."

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes: "Haha, although Mr. Song's cultivation is not high, he is sent by the higher-ups."

As he spoke, he pointed upwards.

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Could it be that this branch is not controlled by Manager Zhang alone?"

Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. In fact, this is not really a secret, and it's okay to tell Fellow Daoist Qi. Although we, the shopkeepers of the branch, have a lot of autonomy, when it comes to a large number of spirit stones and valuable treasures, we need supervisors sent from above to keep them specially. And this Mr. Song is the supervisor of our branch."

This arrangement is reasonable. After all, if one person is in charge of all these semicolons, it is inevitable that some people will steal from the company.

Shopkeeper Zhang continued, "To be honest, most of the shopkeepers who can be the shopkeepers of the semi-colon are Jindan stage cultivators. The reason why Huicheng sent me here is because it is relatively small and has limited resources. Mr. Song used to be a supervisor in a large cultivation city in Weiguo. He is used to seeing those high-level cultivators, so naturally he would not take a small foundation-building cultivator like me seriously."

Chu Ci was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Why can't the higher-ups send some higher-level people to supervise?"

Shopkeeper Zhang showed a meaningful smile: "Fellow Daoist Qi, you don't know this. The supervisor of each branch is surnamed Song. So, Fellow Daoist Qi should understand."

Chu Ci suddenly realized that these supervisors were all from the Red Horse Merchant Alliance. So, the Red Horse Merchant Alliance's boss should also be surnamed Song.

At this time, a maid came in with a tray in her hand: "Sir, the blank jade plaque has been made."
