Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

"Put this on her bed..."

Xu Zhiyi handed the talisman to Zhao Wenyuan, thought for a moment, and then reminded him, "It's best to put it next to her pillow, close to her."

A protective talisman can protect the body and life, ward off evil spirits and bring peace to the home, avert disasters and ward off evil, and dispel evil spirits and calm the mind. Theoretically speaking, this protective talisman has been effective since it was infused with spiritual energy.

It can be placed anywhere in this room.

At this point, the little girl on the bed had stopped struggling.

The ferocity in her eyes was also diminishing.

Zhao Wenyuan had already noticed the changes in his daughter and believed Xu Zhiyi's words without a doubt. He quickly reached out and took the small talisman, carefully placing it beside his pillow.

After a moment, the ferocity in the little girl's eyes completely disappeared.

Her eyes closed and then opened again.

This time, her eyes were different.

Now her eyes are clear and innocent, with a hint of bewilderment from just waking up.

She looked at her mother lying by the bed, then at her father with red eyes, her grandfather standing at the foot of the bed, and a strange little boy.

"Waaah... I'm so happy..."

The little girl opened her mouth, but the silk scarf in her mouth prevented her from speaking a complete sentence.

Madam Zhao was taken aback.

An indescribable joy welled up in his eyes.

She quickly reached out and untied the silk scarf from her daughter's mouth, then hugged her tightly and burst into tears, as if to release all the fear and worry she had felt over the past few days.

Zhao Wenyuan stood to the side.

Even though she's already forty years old, tears kept streaming down her face.

The little girl struggled to break free from her mother's embrace, her face showing surprise and confusion. She innocently asked, "Daddy, Mommy, why are you crying?"

"It's okay, we're happy!"

Zhao Wenyuan wiped away his tears; he could see that his daughter's current state was completely different from before.

This shows that the talisman was not only effective, but also had an immediate effect!

He turned and walked up to Xu Zhiyi, bowing respectfully to express his gratitude, "Young Brother Xu... no, Master Xu! Thank you so much for saving my daughter's life!"

Xu Zhiyi quickly stepped aside and said helplessly, "There's no need for that. I'm really not a master. I just happen to have an ancestral talisman for warding off evil."

"Yes, yes, you are not a master."

Zhao Wenyuan took it as mere modesty.

He also saw the talisman.

Brand new!

If you smell it carefully, you can even smell the fragrance of ink and new paper.

It would be a miracle if this were a family heirloom.

But since the master doesn't acknowledge it, let him be.

Zhao Wenyuan thanked him solemnly several times, then invited Xu Zhiyi to rest in the living room. He personally served him tea and water, placing it in front of him, "Master Xu... please have some tea."

Xu Zhiyi felt somewhat helpless.

He's really not a master.

Why is it that these days no one believes the truth anymore?

"Ahem!"

A slightly awkward cough came from the stairwell.

But then Old Master Zhao came downstairs, his expression a complex mix of shock, embarrassment, regret, and relief, but above all, overflowing gratitude.

He stood in front of Xu Zhiyi and bent down slightly.

"Master Xu, I..."

Xu Zhiyi quickly got up and helped him up.

"Grandpa, please don't say that. I'm really not some kind of master."

Old Master Zhao sighed, somewhat ashamed, and said, "I was blind just now, mistaking the master for a fraud, and saying those absurd things. I've really wasted my life..."

"No way, no way, dogs don't live that long..."

Xu Zhiyi accidentally blurted out what was on her mind, and quickly waved her hand, saying, "No, what I meant was, it's nothing serious, it was just a misunderstanding."

"Master, you are truly a man of noble character!" Old Master Zhao said gratefully, "Thanks to you for disregarding past grievances and saving my granddaughter! Otherwise, I... I would be the one who harmed the child!"

"I will remember this kindness!"

"You flatter me, sir."

Xu Zhiyi's words were sincere, and most of the resentment in his heart disappeared.

"Oh, right."

Remembering his business, Zhao Wenyuan looked at Xu Zhiyi and asked, "Brother Xu... how much did that talisman cost?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi did some mental calculations.

That talisman alone would cost around five thousand in material costs.

He thought for a moment, then asked in return, "Brother Zhao, how much would it cost to get a talisman from that Master Ma you mentioned before?"

Upon hearing the name Master Ma, Zhao Wenyuan's face immediately contorted with rage. "What kind of bullshit master is that! That guy surnamed Ma is a fraud!"

The talismans he drew were completely useless! It would be one thing if he cheated me out of my money, but if it weren't for you, young man, my daughter's life would have been ruined by him!

Old Master Zhao, who was standing to the side, also looked very unpleasant.

Because that Master Ma was someone he invited.

He prided himself on being worldly-wise and knowledgeable, having seen all sorts of people and heard all kinds of scams in his life. Yet, in the end, he was still completely fooled and almost harmed his own granddaughter!

"I'm really... getting senile!"

Old Master Zhao slapped his thigh, filled with regret, and then said in a deep voice, "That Master Ma came twice. The first time, he asked for a talisman, saying it was some kind of Heavenly Gang Protective Talisman, and charged 36,000!"

The second trip was today. I sent Wen Yuan to buy a bunch of materials for drawing talismans, and on the spot, I got an Earthly Fiend Exorcising Talisman, which cost me another 72,000.

Good heavens, they even charge according to the numbers of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Fiends!

He charged 108,000 yuan for just two talismans!

This doesn't even include the cost of additional materials!

Xu Zhiyi clicked her tongue in amazement.

He thought for a moment, then looked at Zhao Wenyuan and said, "Since they charge you 108,000 for two talismans, then you can give me 54,000 for this one talisman."

Fifty-four thousand is already ten times the initial investment!

That's incredibly profitable.

"How can that be?"

Before Zhao Wenyuan could speak, Old Master Zhao spoke first.

"How can those swindlers be compared to you, Master?"

Well, I underestimated it.

Xu Zhiyi was speechless.

Just then, a piercing ringing sound rang out.

It was Grandpa Zhao's special phone for seniors ringing.

He glanced down at the caller ID, and his expression immediately became complicated.

He hesitated for only a moment before pressing the answer button and also turning on speakerphone.

"Grandpa, great news!"

A young man's voice came through the receiver, "My master went to Dongling Temple tonight and, swallowing his pride, asked the temple's immortals to draw an exorcism talisman for him!"

You know Dongling Temple, right? It's a sacred Taoist site!

Old Master Zhao remained silent, but his face grew increasingly gloomy.

The person on the other end of the phone hadn't noticed anything amiss and was still enthusiastically promoting the idea: "The true masters of Dongling Temple are usually focused on cultivation and don't concern themselves with worldly affairs. It was only after my master pleaded with them and used a lot of personal connections that they reluctantly agreed."

This exorcism talisman was personally consecrated by a master and blessed with the incense of Dongling Temple; it is extremely effective!

However, the price...

He paused, seemingly waiting for Old Master Zhao to respond.

But Old Master Zhao remained silent.

Not receiving a response, the person on the other end continued, "The master immediately demanded a donation of 98,000 yuan for incense offerings, not a penny less. Old Master Zhao, you are a wise man. Although this amount of money seems like a lot, think of your granddaughter, what is this little bit of money?"

"If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get a real person to help you again!"

Xu Zhiyi listened from the side, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

These "masters" are really ruthless when it comes to taking money.

He immediately asked for 98,000!

That's enough for him to draw twenty talismans.

At this moment, Old Master Zhao finally spoke.

"Ninety-eight thousand, right? That's not expensive."

"Grandpa Zhao, you really are a wise man!" The voice on the other end of the phone became even more eager: "Then transfer the money now, and I'll send the talisman to you first thing tomorrow morning."

"No rush. Let me ask you something first."

"Please speak, please speak!"

"Do your talismans emit golden light?"
