Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

"Young Master Lu, you've come to the right place. In terms of quality, the talismans on my stall are second only to those in that shop."

"Just tell me how many you want, and I'll pick them out for you at a cheap price."

Lu Yang ignored the stall owner's enthusiasm and focused his attention on the talisman paper placed in the corner of the stall.

"How much are the talismans?"

"Ah! A talisman!"

The stall owner was immediately dumbfounded. He had prepared for so long, and you came to buy talismans!

Looking at Lu Yang's cultivation level, it was only the first level of Qi Refining! The stall owner knew that he had been happy for nothing this time. Even young master Lu had his limits. The first level of Qi Refining meant that he had just broken through and wanted to try drawing talismans.

However, drawing talismans is not that simple. If you can't draw them anymore, then you'll have to buy them.

Thinking of this, the stall owner quickly composed himself, not daring to show any negligence. After all, if he could win this young master over, he could come back to buy talismans when the young master realized he didn't have the talent and needed them.

As long as one is a young master of the Lu family, and his cultivation level gradually increases, he will never lack money.

"Hey, these are just some low-grade talismans, not worth much. I'll give you ten for every spirit stone you spend."

One spirit stone for ten cards!

Lu Yang calculated in his mind that the price of a first-grade low-level spirit talisman was about one spirit stone. In other words, if you could successfully draw ten talismans, you could earn nine spirit stones.

However, this is under ideal conditions. Most talisman masters, even if they are skilled at drawing, are lucky if they can successfully draw three or four out of ten.

In this way, you only earn two or three spirit stones, and there's also the loss of cinnabar.

The few spirit stones earned were only after the talisman-making technology improved in the later stages; in the early stages, it was just an investment.

It seems that the saying that among the four great masters, the talisman makers are the least respected in the cultivation world is absolutely true.

Since Lu Yang's Life-Breaking Pearl can be used to cultivate magic, there's no reason why it shouldn't be useful in making talismans. In any case, we should give it a try.

He took out five spirit stones and said, "Give me five stacks."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner immediately beamed with joy again, "Alright!"

Even a small mosquito bite is still meat. Five spirit stones is a considerable sum of money. It's just a low-grade talisman, so the cost is very low. Although he didn't pay Lu Yang a high price, the profit was still substantial.

Only six spirit stones left. Lu Yang walked along the market street, glancing at both sides from time to time, looking for items he could buy.

With this amount of spirit stones, there's not much you can buy, even at the stalls.

"These are newly unearthed treasures, come and see them, come and take a look!"

Ah!

Lu Yang heard a voice and couldn't help but look over. Interesting. In this world, tomb raiding is actually despised by cultivators. After all, no cultivator wants to be unable to leave behind a complete corpse after a hundred years.

But while everyone hates tomb raiding, everyone is also unable to resist it.

After all, it is a consensus among all cultivators that the treasures underground are unclaimed, and naturally, the virtuous should possess the unclaimed treasures.

Therefore, tomb raiding gradually acquired a more civilized name: exploring the caves and ruins of our ancestors.

In the market, many stalls started out by doing this, after all, what business can be as easy as doing business with no capital?

However, there aren't that many cave dwelling ruins in the world, and even if there were, they wouldn't be easily obtained by these low-level cultivators.

Therefore, most of the goods on the market stalls are fakes made to look old. Of course, there are some genuine ones, but they are the ones that have been picked over. The truly valuable ones have already found suitable buyers and sold them. How could they be openly sold on the stalls?

After activating the Fate-Breaking Pearl, Lu Yang didn't turn it off again. Finding a bargain at a street stall is so exciting!

As I walked along, the Fate-Breaking Bead remained unmoved until I approached this stall.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, which one do you fancy? I'll give it to you."

Ah!

Lu Yang had just squatted down when he heard this and immediately laughed. The Lu family's reputation was really useful; they were professionals at ripping people off. When it came to him, they could only give it away.

The stall owner next to him couldn't help but chuckle, but it was understandable.

After all, his neighbor was a conman who would rip off whoever he could. At a street stall, the main business was to buy and sell based on your own judgment.

Those who understand the rules know that you can't hold a grudge later.

But rules are rules, and strength is strength. It's one thing to cheat ordinary rogue cultivators, but they're all lousy rogue cultivators anyway. So what if you come looking for us? We'll ignore you.

But the young master of the Lu family is different. If he doesn't say a word to you, he might make it impossible for you to stay in Qingcang Market.

That could really kill you, so in this Qingcang Market, no rogue cultivator is willing to openly swindle the Lu family's cultivators. After all, if they were held accountable later, losing spirit stones would be a small matter, but being resented would be a big deal.

It's just about making a little money; there's no need to take such a big risk.

"What is this?"

Lu Yang casually picked up a magic sword that only had half a blade left and asked, "Hey, this thing is extraordinary. You know the Xuanqing Sword Sect, right? This short sword came from the cave of a senior of the Xuanqing Sword Sect. Look at the sword essence, it's obviously made by the Sword Sect."

Although it's only half a sword, its quality is absolutely top-notch. From what I've observed, this broken sword was at least a spirit sword before. It probably broke during a great battle, causing it to drop in grade and end up in this state.

But with proper nurturing, it might be possible to restore its spirit sword quality in the future. Besides, the materials alone are worth it…”

At this point, the stall owner abruptly stopped speaking, inwardly cursing himself for being too professional. He got carried away as soon as he started talking about the products, and he had promised not to rip people off. But here comes the story.

The stall owner looked at Lu Yang awkwardly, "Maybe, I mean maybe, if Young Master Lu likes it, it's yours to play with."

It's valuable anyway; it's just an ordinary sword that we made ourselves and aged it. We wouldn't even want it if we gave it to someone else for free. Giving it to this young master Lu shouldn't make him hold a grudge, right?

To be honest, the stall owner really didn't want to do business with Lu Yang and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Lu Yang smiled and placed the broken sword back on the stall. He could tell what the stall owner was thinking, so he stopped beating around the bush, picked up a bead directly, and gestured to the stall owner, "How many spirit stones?"

The stall owner looked at the beads in Lu Yang's hand and waved his hand, "Don't mention spirit stones, they're a free gift."

Lu Yang handed his last six spirit stones to the stall owner, saying, "I'm not going to take advantage of you. By the way, what's your name?"

When the stall owner saw the six spirit stones that Lu Yang brought over, his hands almost wouldn't obey him. After all, there was never a chance of escaping the spirit stones that passed before his eyes.

However, these spirit stones were a hot potato, but then he thought that they were given to him voluntarily, and he hadn't tricked him into giving them to him.

Six spirit stones isn't much; his skill isn't something you can just acquire for nothing.

With that in mind, the stall owner accepted the six spirit stones without any qualms, cupped his hands and said, "Wang Tianba, a rogue cultivator, greets Fellow Daoist Lu."

Wang Tianba!

Lu Yang smirked and left immediately. This name was obviously destined for bad luck; it was best to stay away from it.

After Lu Yang left, the stall owner quickly packed up and left.

Seeing this, the stall owner's neighbor couldn't help but say, "Huang Laoliu, you're really ruthless! Wang Tianba only ruined your plans once, and you're really going to rip him off!"

The stall owner rolled his eyes upon hearing this. "Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. What's wrong with me using his name? Besides, the young master of the Lu family looks kind and benevolent. Maybe he's a great opportunity for Wang Tianba. Mind your own business."

After saying that, the stall owner quickly left. The feng shui of this stall was bad. He had only been there for three days. First, Wang Tianba ruined his business, and today he encountered a young master from the Lu family. It was clearly a year of bad luck, and he had to change his stall location.
