Fox Demon: Live Long and Grow into a Taoist Master

Chapter 9: Li Muchen, the Profligate Merchant

In front of Shiraishi's house.

A large number of residents of Frost Moon Town gathered here and talked about it.

There are men, women, young and old, but without exception.

His face was full of pain.

It was as if something extremely unfair had happened.

There is a small square table in front of the door.

It was filled with yellow papers of various colors, and the papers were written with cinnabar, with no discernible patterns.

Li Muchen looked a little chubby because he was stuffed with a lot of clothes.

Sitting behind the small table, he shouted in a disguised, slightly rough voice:
"Do you guarantee its authenticity?"

"Too expensive?"

"This is a life-saving thing. Don't you even have the courage to invest in yourself?"

"If that's really the case, then no talisman can save you who don't want to live."

"If you don't believe it, then you don't have to buy it. No one is forcing you."

Hearing this somewhat familiar shout, Bai Shi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He felt that it would be a shame for his cheap child bride not to become a pyramid scheme leader.

"What did Chen'er do before he lost his memory?"

This doubt is stronger than ever at this moment.

After Li Muchen finished speaking, he sat at the table with an indifferent look.

And seeing Li Muchen's attitude.

The crowd that had previously been skeptical immediately calmed down.

After a moment's hesitation, the noise started again.
Everyone was scrambling to buy, some even getting red in the face.

They almost started fighting.

After all, Li Muchen's current posture is very similar to how those Taoist masters looked at them.

Arrogant, disdainful, and indifferent.

The more this happened, the more they felt that this talisman might be real.

It's just two taels of silver, most people can afford it if they grit their teeth.

After all, investing in yourself...

Soon, Li Muchen's front was filled with strings of copper coins and some small change.

In the sunlight, the copper coins and silver emit extremely eye-catching colors.

It's like a mountain of gold and silver.

Especially the white stone on one side can be seen clearly.

Although Chen'er had an arrogant look of disdain on his face.

But his eyes were shining, and the corners of his lips were turned down, as if he was forcing himself to hold back his laughter.

“…” Bai Shi, damn, if making money is so easy.

What was I doing when I was hunting before?
You're just bored because you've eaten too much!

Not until the crowd dispersed did Bai Shi pull Li Muchen, whose face was filled with excitement, into the house.

The privacy of the enclosed space is greatly protected.

Chen Er finally stopped pretending, with a faint smile on her lips and her chin slightly raised:
"How about it?"

"I only drew talismans for half a month. Just by moving my fingers, I earned more than twenty taels of silver."

"This is because they are from the same hometown, so I didn't charge them a high price. Otherwise, I could make more money."

"How is it? Isn't it much easier than all the hard hunting you went through?"

His words were full of disdain for Bai Shi.

Bai Shi's face looked strange, and his eyes twitched slightly.

What? You think I bought it too low?

Just your tattered yellow paper and cinnabar, can the cost be worth one penny of silver?

Are you still not satisfied with the huge profit of more than 200 times?

Bai Shi glanced at her and said:

"Can you also draw demon-repelling talismans?"

How could he not remember that his cheap child bride could use this trick?

Otherwise, why would he need to go hunting before?

Even if he was a monk before he lost his memory.

But after losing my memory, I shouldn't be able to do it just by instinct, right?
"Uh... this... should be possible, right?"

Li Muchen's face flushed slightly, and his words were a little uncertain.

Seeing Chen'er's evasive gaze, Bai Shi couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

"You've sold so many talismans, aren't you afraid those people will come back and cause trouble for us?"

"Tsk, look at you, you're such a coward." Li Muchen sneered, puffed up his little pigeon, and said confidently:
"Whether the demon-exorcising talisman is real or fake, you can only know it after you encounter the demon clan."

"If it were useful, those people would naturally not come to cause trouble."

"If it's useless and you even lose your life, you won't come to cause trouble, right?" Without waiting for Li Muchen to reply, Bai Shi added directly with an expressionless face.

"So, regardless of whether your talisman is real or fake, you're guaranteed to make the money, right?"

At this moment, he was deeply shocked by his wife's "business acumen".

"No, it's not that I didn't think about it before, it's that my conscience is still there..."

"Why are you asking when you already know it?" Li Muchen rolled his eyes.

"By the way, there was a guy who couldn't pay the bill, so he exchanged a bear heart for a talisman. You can take it and eat it."

Li Muchen said this, turned around and went back to his own hut, and picked up a few more pieces of yellow paper.

Today's talisman paper is sold out, but the order schedule is already three days later.

However, the latter's words still made Bai Shi feel a little warm in his heart.

Forget it, she is my wife after all.

Making money is also for his own good.

He had discovered this before when he used the Xiao Zhoutian Heart Method to sense the spiritual energy.

The talismans that Li Muchen sold did have a flickering glow on them.

Although it is not very strong, it is definitely effective.

That's why he didn't stop it.

After all, this world is a world of cultivators.

Whenever something comes into contact with spiritual energy or magic power, prices will skyrocket.

For this reason alone, two cents of silver per piece is really not expensive.

It’s much better than those “masters” who eat and drink for free, right?
Lunch is the so-called bear heart.

Li Muchen's cooking skills are as bad as ever.

Bai Shi was also focused on his cultivation and didn't want to waste time on cooking for the time being.

Anyway... as long as it's edible, it's fine. It's best if it can replenish qi and blood and be edible.

Bear hearts that are simply steamed and sprinkled with salt.

Filled with a strong smell of blood.

When the food entered the mouth, a bloody smell rushed straight to the forehead, making the person frown.

But the effect is still very strong.

As the stomach digests the food, the blood and energy in the bear's heart transform into warm currents.

It was transported to Bai Shi's limbs and bones by qi and blood, slowly increasing his physical strength.

Taking advantage of this time, Bai Shi began to study the mental formula he got from Dongfang Qinlan again.

The feet are bent onto the thighs, with the five hearts facing the sky.

Start to sense the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth according to the above method.

Everyone has their own most suitable attributes.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, yin and yang, etc.

The Dao Alliance has never lacked mental techniques of various attributes.

For example, the Wen family is best at thunder magic.

There are also many other aristocratic families that started with the five elements.

Of course, there are definitely more spiritual properties than these.

But some unconventional attributes are not within Bai Shi's consideration.

Perhaps it was because she was grilled by Dongfang Qinlan in a very orchid-like way many times in a row.

A hint of heat first emerged in the spiritual perception.

Then countless fiery red light spots condensed.

Fire attribute.

Bai Shi suppressed the joy in his heart and began to use his mental strength to draw the fire attribute power into his body little by little.

It was scorching hot, as if you were deep in the lava core of the earth.

They will be burned to ashes by the raging flames.

In just a moment, Bai Shi's body instinctively wanted to stop.
