Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Ye Yu went down the mountain, went back to her room, took a shower, tidied herself up, and then headed out towards the cafeteria.

She hadn't fasted yet; before, she was either in a meditative state or feeling happy on the mountain, and didn't feel hungry at all. Now that she had finished packing, she felt ravenously hungry and just wanted to eat.

When I got to the cafeteria, I was so tempted by the delicious-smelling noodles that my mouth watered. It took me a while to recover after eating a big bowl.

"Hehe, the little girl has a good appetite."

Ye Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw an elderly man with gray hair sitting at the table to her right.

The old man was very thin and haggard, wearing a dark blue silk suit with dark patterns. His skin was sallow, and the wrinkles on his neck were very deep, making it clear that he was suffering from a serious illness.

Seeing the old man's condition, Ye Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she thought to herself, "A lucrative business opportunity has arrived!"

She smiled and said to the old man, "It's because the noodles here are so fragrant that I ate so much."

“Indeed.” The old man agreed wholeheartedly: “Every time I come, I have to try the vegetarian meat here.”

"If you want to eat real meat, that's not impossible."

"Oh? Do you have a solution, young friend?" the old man asked her curiously.

"It's very simple, just two talismans will ensure your peace of mind."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone behind him sneered, "I've heard old charlatans say these things before, but this is the first time I've heard a young female charlatan say something like this."

A boy with fair skin, delicate features, and wearing a camel coat placed food in front of the old man.

"Zerui, how can you talk like that?" the old man criticized him.

“Grandpa, I’m telling the truth. Anyone who saw you could tell you weren’t feeling well, and old people are easily fooled, so they targeted you,” the boy named Ze Rui argued.

"Besides, how could two pieces of paper cure your chronic illness of many years? How is that possible?" She rolled her eyes at Ye Yu as she spoke.

Ye Yu didn't say much, but looked at the old man and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"I'll leave at noon the day after tomorrow."

Seeing her serious expression, the old man still told her.

"Okay, I'll give you something the day after tomorrow at noon." After saying that, Ye Yu turned around and went back to her room without even looking at the boy.

......

Late at night, the lights were still on in Ye Yu's room; she had been making talismans for the past two days.

A table made of natural wood grain was covered with talisman paper, brushes, cinnabar, and green glass fruit, among other items.

Logically speaking, a good talisman should be made with the blood of a demon beast, or by refining the inner core of a demon beast into powder, and also with talisman paper made from the hide of a demon beast.

However, since there were no demonic beasts in this world, Ye Yu could only refine the Azure Glass Fruit and mix it into cinnabar. This resulted in her ruining many talismans before she could finish drawing one in one go.

She used the talisman paper she brought to make some low-level talismans: spirit-cleansing talismans, evil-repelling talismans, soul-guiding talismans, protective talismans, and fireball talismans.

She couldn't make high-level talismans yet, so she didn't use the talisman paper in her storage ring. She counted the talismans she had made; a total of thirty-three were produced.

Among them are three Cleansing Talismans, eight Evil-Repelling Talismans, five Soul-Guiding Talismans, ten Body-Protecting Talismans, and seven Fireball Talismans.

These weren't even level one talismans, so they didn't consume much of Ye Yu's spiritual power. However, the damaged talismans were all bought with money, which pained her, given her poverty.

Ye Yu knew that for the people of this world, talismans and such things belonged to feudal superstition.

However, the government has not explicitly prohibited the making of talismans; as far as she knows, there are several places that sell talismans.

The next day at noon, Ye Yu met the grandfather and grandson in the cafeteria.

She took out a talisman and a small card from her pocket and handed them to the old man: "This is a talisman. Carrying it with you will protect you once. My contact number is on the card."

"Hehe, thank you for your kindness, young friend." The old man reached out and took it, putting it in his pocket.

The old man's grandson kept rolling his eyes the moment he saw Ye Yu take out the talisman.

He muttered, "So persistent! These charlatans think everyone's easy to fool? I thought they were something special, just a piece of scrap paper! Pshaw!"

Ye Yu pretended not to see or hear anything, and said to the old man with a smile, "No need to be polite. Next time you come to see me, I will collect the money for this talisman together." After saying that, she went to sit down at a table to eat.

"Are you crazy for money? You want to collect them all? Dream on!"

"Wang Zerui! How have I taught you to speak?" the old man stopped him.

Seeing that his grandfather was a little angry, he calmed down and helped the old man out.

After getting on the bus, the old man recalled what Ye Yu had just said, smiled and shook his head, but didn't really take it to heart.

When he got home, he casually handed the amulet to his ten-year-old granddaughter and told her to play with it, then put the matter aside.

After finishing her meal, Ye Yu returned to her room and saw her phone lying carelessly on the bed. Thinking that she hadn't called Zhao Jing in the past two days, she dialed the number. After a few rings, the call was answered.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, are you feeling better? Are you coming back today or tomorrow? Mom will pick you up then." Zhao Jing asked happily.

"Mom, I'm coming back today. You don't need to pick me up. I'll go straight home after I get to Zhang City. If you come to pick me up, you'll have to ask for leave, and the manager will be unhappy."

After hearing Zhao Jing's words, Ye Yu thought about it and decided to return to Zhang City today.

Anyway, I've achieved my goal this time, and the talismans are ready. Tomorrow I'll have time to go to a few antique markets to check the market prices and sell the talismans.

Having made up her mind, Ye Yu put all the items for making talismans and her change of clothes on the table into her storage ring. After checking out of the room with an empty backpack, she went down the mountain to catch a ride.

After returning home, Ye Yu let Zhao Jing know she was safe and sound, then sat on the bed and began to think seriously.

There are three antique markets in Zhang City. One of them, called Mibao Garden, is the closest to Ye Yu's house. It's about a 20-minute walk away and has a large flow of people.

"This is it!"

Ye Yu slapped his thigh and said.

I've decided to go check out the situation first thing tomorrow morning and try to secure a good stall.

Five o'clock in the morning, inside the Treasure Hunting Garden.

Wearing a mask and sunglasses, Ye Yu looked at the bustling market and couldn't help but marvel at the enthusiasm of antique enthusiasts.

She wandered around and found several places selling talismans, but these talismans had no spiritual energy and were completely useless.

Having figured out the situation, Ye Yu chose a corner, laid out a tablecloth, took out the talismans and arranged them, and waited for customers to come in.

They waited until noon, but no one came to Ye Yu's stall. She sighed as she looked at the palm-sized talisman.

If other people make money by selling talismans in large quantities, then her talismans can only be sold to people who know their value; people who don't know their value will never buy them.

After all, her talismans were smaller and less attractive compared to those sold by others.

It will probably take a few more days for the elder at Yunfeng Temple to contact us. If not, we'll just have to wait a few more days.

"Hey, how much is this talisman for warding off evil spirits?" A man with a beer belly and a briefcase tucked under his arm interrupted Ye Yu's thoughts.

"Five thousand per piece..."

"You're a liar, trying to extort me!" Before Ye Yu could finish speaking, the beer-bellied man turned and left upon hearing the price.

"..."

Ye Yu felt a little frustrated. Although she only sold her talismans to people who knew their value, there weren't many people here who did!

After that, people came to the stall to look at the talismans, but they only looked and didn't ask any questions until Ye Yu opened his divine sense and understood the reason.

These people are all here to see what a talisman costing 5,000 yuan looks like!

Understanding the reason, Ye Yu shook her head and chuckled. It seemed that the business wouldn't be open today. She would try another garden tomorrow.
