Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 32 Talisman Master Meeting

Ronan's talismans didn't sell very well.

Since he was a newcomer, many people didn't quite believe Ronan.

So Ronan resorted to his usual tactic—lowering the price.

Lowering prices inevitably encroaches on other companies' market share.

However, if prices are not lowered, it will still encroach on other people's market share, just more slowly.

Ronan controlled the amulet's power at the proficient level.

The reason is that the cultivators who sell talismans of this level are not highly skilled.

Even if someone tries to cause him trouble, he can handle it calmly.

After the price reduction, Ronan's talismans sold much better.

Half a day later, all the talismans on the stall were sold out.

Although the two manuals, the Amulet and the Lightness Amulet, remained untouched, he was already satisfied.

He already had 112 low-grade spirit stones, enough to buy flying sword talismans.

Ronan packed up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he strolled around the market, but finding nothing he wanted to buy, he headed out of the market.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."

Just as Ronan was about to leave the market, a monk called out to him.

"I wonder if you have any advice?"

Ronan turned around and asked.

The hand hidden in the sleeve had already grasped several stacks of talismans.

"Fellow Daoist, are all the talismans you sell drawn by you?" the cultivator asked.

“Partly yes, fellow Daoist, please just say what you want to say,” Ronan said.

The cultivator smiled and said, "In our eastern shantytown, there is a Talisman Master Association. The president is a well-known talisman master and a Grandmaster Talisman Master in the eastern shantytown."

“I see that your talisman drawing is quite good. Why don’t you join our Talisman Master Association and exchange your talisman drawing experiences together?”

"Thanks, but I have other things to do. Let's talk about this later." Ronan brushed it off and turned to leave.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator's expression suddenly changed, and he let out a cold laugh:
"Fellow Daoist, let me be frank with you. Those who draw talismans in the eastern shantytown all have to pay homage to the sect of talisman masters!"

"I advise you, fellow Daoist, not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

"You killed those three talisman masters in Market Square C, didn't you?"

"They are from our Talisman Masters Association."

"However, the fact that you were able to kill those three people shows that you are quite strong."

"And those three might have offended you first."

"Therefore, Chairman Zong decided not to pursue the matter further."

"The president greatly admires you and specifically asked me to keep an eye on you. Once I meet you, I will invite you to join the Talisman Master Association."

"If you don't give me face, you can forget about selling talismans in the eastern shantytown in the future."

Faced with the threat, Ronan's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded, saying, "In that case... I wonder where the headquarters of the Talisman Master Association is located? I will definitely visit the Grand Talisman Master when I have time another day."

He didn't know the strength of the Talisman Masters Association, so he couldn't afford to break off relations.

Seeing that Ronan had softened, the cultivator couldn't help but smile slightly and told Ronan the address of the Talisman Master Association.

"Fellow Daoist, the Grandmaster of Talismans and his fellow disciples are waiting for your arrival!"

After saying a few words, the monk bowed and took his leave.

Ronan also pretended to take his leave and then left the market.

After arriving at the Bing-class market, he first exchanged for mid-grade spirit stones.

Today, the exchange rate for low-grade spirit stones to mid-grade spirit stones is 98 to 1.

'A huge profit of two low-grade spirit stones!'

After making a sarcastic remark to himself, Ronan went to find the stall selling flying sword talisman manuals.

He quickly found the stall and was relieved to see the Flying Sword Talisman Manual still on display.

"Fellow Daoist, may I take a look at the Flying Sword Talisman Manual?" Ronan asked.

"Please go ahead." The stall owner handed the flying sword talisman manual to Ronan.

The flying sword talisman manual displayed on the stall was actually just a cover with five pages inside. The five pages were all about the ritual preparations for drawing the talismans.

Buyers then use these five pages to decide whether or not to make a purchase.

If you want to buy it, the stall owner will hand over the rest of the manual after you pay.

Not only flying sword talisman manuals, but all the manuals on the stalls are like this.

This is to prevent some cultivators with exceptional memories from simply glancing at the manual and memorizing all its contents.

However, you can only see the full manual after paying money.

This gave some vendors the opportunity to commit fraud.

Therefore, luck plays a huge role in whether you can buy the real secret manual.

This is why the secret recipes on the stalls don't sell very well.

Ronan glanced at the five pages and noticed that the paper was yellowed and antique, and that the content on it was accurate.

However, he couldn't be 100% certain that what the stall owner produced after he paid was definitely the secret manual for the flying sword talisman.

It could also be a low-grade first-tier talisman manual, and what was drawn might be a low-grade first-tier talisman like a cleansing talisman.

'However, if the manual is fake, I can tell at a glance.'

Ronan analyzed the person and realized that he was just a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

If he discovers the manual is fake, he will immediately beat the person up, not only to get his own money back but also to take the money from the person as compensation.

“Okay, I’ll buy this manual.” Ronan took out a mid-grade spirit stone.

Upon hearing this, the stall owner couldn't help but beam with joy.

This guide has been on display for several days, and several people want to buy it, but they all say they need to see other pages before buying.

He refused, and the group, fearing they had bought a fake manual, all left.

The stall owner quickly pulled out a thin stack of yellowed papers without a cover from the bundle behind his back and handed them to Ronan.

Ronan took it and immediately began to read it.

His skill in drawing amulets has reached the level of a grandmaster.

He quickly discerned the authenticity of the talisman book.

It's genuine.

Ronan stuffed the flying sword talisman manual into his bundle.

After the manual was put into his bag, he stored it in the black storage ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Afterwards, he left the stall and headed towards the market exit.

As they were walking, they suddenly saw Lin Shan also browsing the market.

Lin Shan also saw Luo Nan, so he waved and stepped forward, clasping his hands in greeting: "Fellow Daoist Luo."

"Deacon Lin," Ronan returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, it's almost noon, haven't you had your meal yet?" Lin Shan smiled, his chubby face slightly bulging.

“I brewed some bamboo wine at home, and opened it the day before yesterday. Also, someone gave me a chicken that was fed with spirit rice.”

"I offended you with my words last time, so how about I treat you to lunch today as an apology?"

Seeing Lin Shan's eagerness, Luo Nan naturally wanted to see if he could get on the good side of "Master Luo".

He initially wanted to refuse, but then he reconsidered.

Lin Shan is a steward of the Yu family who manages a region of spiritual fields, so he must be well-informed.

Perhaps they already know about the Grandmaster of Symbols.

Ronan, wanting to understand the background of the Talisman Masters Association and the Grand Talisman Masters, agreed to Lin Shan's request.

The two left the market together and headed towards Lin Shan's shack.

As a steward of the Yu family, Lin Shan lived in a decent shed.

Although it was a shack, it was clean, spacious, and had two floors.

The first floor is where Lin Shan, as the steward of the Yu family, handles affairs and receives visitors.

The second floor is Lin Shan's residence.

The second floor has a spacious balcony, from which you can see blue skies, white clouds, sheds, and fields.
