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

Shopkeeper Zhang took the jade token in his hand and said to Chu Ci, "Fellow Daoist Qi, this is a jade token specially customized by our Chamber of Commerce for talisman makers. I will enter your information into it now, and you will officially become a talisman maker of our Chamber of Commerce."

After saying this, Shopkeeper Zhang held the jade token in his right hand and closed his eyes. Then a ball of green light flashed on the jade token.

After a moment, the light disappeared, and Shopkeeper Zhang handed the jade token to Chu Ci:

"Welcome Fellow Daoist Qi to officially become the 312th Talisman Maker of our Merchant Alliance. With your current cultivation level, you are still just an ordinary Talisman Maker. Once you reach the Core Formation Stage, you will naturally be upgraded."

Chu Ci reached out and took the jade token in his hand, looking at it carefully. The jade token was more than three inches long and two inches wide, and was green all over. A golden strip wrapped around the middle divided the entire jade token into two parts, the upper part had the word "Red" written on it, the lower part had the word "Horse" written on it, and the word "Talisman Master" was written on the back.

Shopkeeper Zhang added, "I wonder what kind of talismans you are good at refining, so I can set the specifications and quantity for you. If you can refine a second-level spirit gathering talisman, then I will make the decision. You only need to hand in 2000 pieces per year. If there are any more, we will purchase them at an internal price."

The price of the Spirit Gathering Talisman is much higher than other talismans, and it is also a talisman that can improve cultivation. According to Shopkeeper Zhang, although the quantity is small, its actual value is still more than 5000 other talismans.

Chu Ci put the jade token away and nodded, "Yes, my best skill is the Soul Gathering Talisman, so I can guarantee this number. I wonder about the teleportation array..."

"Since you are one of us, then there is nothing wrong with using the teleportation array. Where are you planning to go?"

"Lingxi City." Chu Ci said.

After hearing Chu Ci talk about Lingxi City, Shopkeeper Zhang smiled:

"We have 12 branches in Jin State, all of which are under the command of the head office in Lingxi City. If you want to go to other cities, it may be a bit troublesome, but if you want to go to Lingxi City, there will be absolutely no problem.

In a month, we will be transporting supplies to Lingxi City. If you can refine 2000 Level Spirit Gathering Talismans before then, you can go with our transporters and save Spirit Stones in transportation fees. Of course, if you can take out the talismans now and are willing to spend Spirit Stones, you can use them now.

Chu Ci didn't care about the ten thousand spirit stones. He also had 2000 second-level spirit gathering talismans in his hand. However, if he took them out now, it would be too conspicuous and might cause unnecessary trouble.

He thought for a moment and felt that the best strategy was to pretend that he had been refining the Soul Gathering Talisman for the past month. This would not only fit his current identity, but also allow the other party to wait with peace of mind. So he nodded and agreed:

"I don't have that many Soul Gathering Talismans. I'll try to finish them within a month."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang immediately ordered his men to fetch 10,000 pieces of talisman paper and 1,000 bottles of cinnabar. These raw materials were provided by the Red Horse Merchant Alliance, and all were calculated based on a 20% success rate. The rest depended entirely on the individual skills of the talisman maker.

After Chu Ci accepted the things, he was ready to leave, and Zhang, the shopkeeper, personally saw him off. Just as the two of them walked up the stairs, they suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from downstairs, which was sharp and piercing.

"Yali, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you can't even clean your room properly, how can you be so stupid?"

Chu Ci looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall female cultivator standing at the corner downstairs, scolding a woman harshly. The scolded woman looked to be about 30 years old, lowered her head, and kept apologizing.

The scolded woman looked familiar. His mind raced, trying to recall her identity.

Suddenly he remembered that this was the girl who was responsible for receiving him when he first came to Wanfufang.

Time is merciless. More than ten years have passed, and the little girl has become a middle-aged woman. Her face has long lost its tenderness and immaturity, replaced by vicissitudes and fatigue, but her cultivation has not improved at all.

If it weren’t for Chu Ci’s amazing memory, he really wouldn’t have recognized the other person.

A low-level cultivator like Yali is actually not much stronger than an ordinary person.

In this world where strength is respected, the weak can often only bear the blame from the strong.

Chu Ci pretended nothing had happened and left Wan Fu Fang.

After coming out, he walked towards the largest restaurant nearby, found a private room on the second floor, ordered a table full of sumptuous meals and started eating.

It was not until the intersection of Xu and Hai that his consciousness moved and he came.

As soon as the visitor arrived at the door, Chu Ci's indifferent voice came out.

"Fellow Taoist, please come in!"

There was a woman outside the door. She pushed the door open nervously, with confusion and timidity in her eyes. After entering the door, she said respectfully to Chu Ci: "Yali greets the senior."

The person who came was Yali. Chu Ci saw that this woman was still working here after Wanfufang changed its owner. He thought that she must know something about Wanfufang and Gongsun Qing, so before he left, he sent a message to her and agreed to meet here after closing time.

There was a trace of panic on Yali's face at this moment. She felt very puzzled when she was told the message before. She didn't understand why this Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was personally received and sent downstairs by the store owner, wanted to see her, but she didn't dare not come.

She felt very uneasy, afraid that she had done something wrong and angered the person in front of her.

Seeing this, Chu Ci smiled and said, "It seems that you don't remember me."

This sentence made Yali relax a little. Judging from the other party's tone, they should have known each other before.

Yali raised his head and looked carefully at the person in front of him. He really didn't know when he got to know a foundation-building cultivator.

After a long time, there was still no clue. Yali shook her head and said apologetically: "Please forgive me, I really can't remember it."

"Haha, no wonder fellow Daoist, it is indeed difficult to recall things that happened more than ten years ago. My surname is Qi, and I once went to Wan Fu Fang to buy 100,000 pieces of talisman paper."

As soon as she said this, Yali's eyes rolled around, as if she suddenly remembered something. A hint of surprise appeared on her face, and she said in a lost voice:

"I remember now, you are Senior Qi. When you came to our store, it was Miss Gongsun who received you personally."

Chu Ci nodded: "That's right, so fellow Taoist, don't be afraid. I just want to ask a few questions. Please sit down and talk."

As he spoke, Chu Ci reached out and took out a small bottle and a cloth bag and placed them on the table. He said:

"This is a bottle of Huangjing Dan and 200 spirit stones. I just want to ask why Wanfufang is gone and when did the Chima Merchant Alliance come to Huicheng."

Yali looked at the things on the table, and her eyes flashed with joy. These things were all treasures to her. With that bottle of Huangjing Dan, her cultivation would be greatly improved; and those spirit stones were equivalent to her two years' salary.

Although she was extremely surprised, she also knew that the problem of the Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of her was what she should pay most attention to.

She quickly collected her thoughts and said respectfully, "Senior, please feel free to ask me anything you want to say. I will tell you everything I know."
