Mortal: Fishing the Heavenly Dao to Become the Ancestor of the Five Elements

Chapter 84 A Tumultuous Time, A War Inevitably Defeated (Thank you for your support!)

The next day!

in the afternoon.

Song Meng came by this morning and told Qin Tian that he had spoken to his master, Li Huayuan.

Qin Tian spent the entire morning drawing talismans.

He slept late last night and continued drawing talismans after waking up this morning.

Intermediate talismans are not like beginner talismans, which can be drawn in a minute.

Even though Qin Tian's success rate was very high, he still couldn't complete the drawing of the talismans quickly.

"call!"

As the last stroke was completed, the intermediate-to-advanced level mist talisman flashed red.

Qin Tian stretched his body and put all the dozens of intermediate and high-level talismans on the table into his storage bag.

After looking around the room and making sure he had all his belongings, he walked outside.

Step out of the tent.

Qin Tian put away the intermediate-to-high-level Wanlin Grand Formation and walked towards Li Huayuan's tent.

After a cup of tea.

Li Huayuan's tent was open, so Qin Tian went straight inside.

As soon as she entered, Martial Aunt Hong Fu hurriedly walked out, then transformed into a beam of light and flew into the sky.

Before Qin Tian could even greet anyone, he looked at Li Huayuan in the room with a puzzled expression. Beside Li Huayuan was a familiar face, Manager Tian from Wanbaolou.

"Tian'er is here?"

"This is the manager of Wanbaolou. He is a good friend of Master. You can call him Uncle Tian."

Li Huayuan did not explain immediately, but instead introduced Manager Tian to Qin Tian first.

"Uncle-Master Tian!"

Qin Tian cupped his hands and called out.

"Long time no see. I didn't expect you to be this old gambler's apprentice. Tsk tsk, what a waste."

"Why don't you become my disciple? I'll take you as my personal disciple, guarantee you'll reach the Core Formation stage, and I'll hand over the Wanbao Pavilion to you in the future."

Shopkeeper Tian joked with a smile.

"Hey, hey, hey, you've gone too far! I can forgive you for asking for such a high price when I ordered supplies from you, but now you're trying to poach my disciple. Hey, my disciple needs your help to help him reach the Core Formation stage. He managed to exchange for Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid on his own in just one year in Golden Drum Plain."

Li Huayuan said unhappily.

Qin Tian looked at Li Huayuan in surprise. He hadn't expected that his master already knew about this. However, after thinking that Li Huayuan was the person in charge of Huangfeng Valley in Jingu Plain, he understood.

"Hey, you old gambler, go outside and see how badly you guys are fighting! I'm only giving you a discount because I used to be a disciple of Yellow Maple Valley. Go check out the Demonic Path; their supplies are already more than ten times the price!"

"Now it's not even a matter of price anymore, but that you're consuming too many resources, and the market simply can't keep up with the rate at which you're using them."

"Do you think that pills, talismans, magical artifacts, formations, and spirit beasts don't require time to refine, and that spirit beasts don't require time to raise?"

"Even with spirit stones, the speed at which your seven major sects mine them can't keep up with the speed at which you consume them."

"It's only because the seven major sects have some resources that the front lines would have collapsed long ago!"

Manager Tian was so angry his nostrils were practically flaring. He plopped down in a chair, then, as if remembering something, looked at Qin Tian and accused him passionately, "Let's not talk about those things. Do you know how shameless your master is? He actually wanted my Wanbaolou to provide supplies first, with all the spirit stones to be settled after the war!" "Tell me, isn't this guy just trying to get something for nothing?"

Qin Tian looked at Li Huayuan in shock. This was indeed going too far. After the war, all seven major sects had fled.

Li Huayuan gave an awkward laugh, went to Manager Tian's side, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, when you opened Wanbaolou, Senior Sister Hongfu and I were the ones who sponsored it."

At this point, the two started arguing again.

But Qin Tian also knew that the two were mostly joking around.

Too lazy to listen to their nonsense, Qin Tian interrupted, "By the way, Master, why did Aunt Hongfu leave in such a hurry just now? What happened?"

Upon hearing Qin Tian's words, both Li Huayuan and Manager Tian fell silent.

"Ugh!"

"A disciple just reported that your junior sister Dong went out to hunt demonic disciples, but was kidnapped by the demonic forces."

Li Huayuan sighed.

Shopkeeper Tian stood up and said, "Don't worry, the child will be fine. After all, she has a certain status. The people who kidnapped her must have discovered something, otherwise they would have just killed her."

"We can't help with these things, and we're not qualified to help with them."

He asked himself, since opening Wanbaolou, his business has spread to many countries around Yue, his knowledge has grown, his treasures have increased, his wealth has become more abundant, and his trump cards have become deeper. The problem that he couldn't break through to the Core Formation stage due to his aptitude was solved many years ago.

Manager Tian knew this, and Li Huayuan and the others had guessed it too, after all, the fact that he was still alive was a question.

He was a disciple who entered the sect in the same batch as Li Huayuan, Hong Fu, and Fu Yunzi of the Qingxu Sect!

However, even when facing Nascent Soul stage cultivators, or even those in the middle Nascent Soul stage, they still feel powerless!

“I should be going now, you old gambler. You are you, and Huangfeng Valley is Huangfeng Valley. If you were to ask for anything, you could take whatever you wanted from here, including Senior Sister Hongfu. But if you are representing Huangfeng Valley, then business is business.”

"You know why: in this battle between good and evil, the righteous path is destined to lose!"

"In the Tiannan Continent, those in the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and even Golden Core stages have no say; all the power lies in the hands of those in the Nascent Soul stage."

"And within the Nascent Soul stage, whether or not there is a late-stage Nascent Soul sect, that's the difference between a top-tier sect and a first-rate sect!"

"If Patriarch Linghu were only at the early Nascent Soul stage, then Yellow Maple Valley would just be a second-rate sect!"

Manager Tian patted Li Huayuan on the shoulder.

He knew that Li Huayuan had feelings for Huangfeng Valley.

He was the same, but his businessman's nature prevented him from choosing to fly like a moth to a flame!

"Sigh, never mind, I won't say anything more." Li Huayuan knew that the other party was right.

"Speaking of which, you used to come here often to sell talismans before you reached the Foundation Establishment stage. How come you haven't come even once in all these years since you reached the Foundation Establishment stage?" Shopkeeper Tian asked as he approached Qin Tian.

"I've been too busy since I reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and intermediate-level talismans are quite difficult to make, so I can only use them myself. I really don't have any extras to sell," Qin Tian explained simply.

After all, he couldn't possibly have found something more profitable than talismans, like selling Foundation Establishment Pills.

After that, he found something even more profitable than selling Foundation Establishment Pills: robbing second-generation immortals.

After that, he found something even more profitable than robbing second-generation immortals: robbing spirit stone mines.

"What?" Li Huayuan looked over in surprise upon hearing this: "Tian'er, you're a mid-level talisman master?"

"Oh my god, you're such a weird master. Your own disciple doesn't know anything." Manager Tian slapped his forehead, then put his arm around Qin Tian's shoulder: "Hey, you should think about what I said before. If you don't want this master, then forget it."

Li Huayuan:
