Shang Yanting frowned slightly.

He just wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to make too much of a fuss.

Cao Zhijie thought he was feeling guilty, "What, you don't dare to anymore?"

As he spoke, he threw down two fine steel weapons with a bang, which the novice Shang Yanting dared not try.

Just then, Shang Yanting picked up a sword and stuck the talisman on the hilt.

As the solidification talisman approached the longsword, a suction force caused it to adhere firmly to the talisman. The longsword itself emitted a flash of light, and those around it only saw a flash before their eyes.

The next second

Shang Yanting raised his knife and brought it down.

With a crisp metallic clang, another steel weapon was severed from its blade.

For a moment, the surroundings were completely silent.

The steel weapon actually cut another steel weapon in half!

"Is this...is this real?"

Cao Zhijie's expression shifted from contempt to astonishment. He looked at the talisman in surprise, finding it hard to believe for a moment.

Shang Yanting put down the knife. "You can always ask someone else to try."

This is actually true!

A talisman that can upgrade a steel weapon into a radiant gold artifact only costs two hundred taels of silver!

Once they came to their senses, the crowd surrounded Shang Yanting.

"Young master, do you still have such talismans?"

"Young master, I'm willing to pay three hundred taels to sell it to me."

...

At this point, the pawnshop staff quickly took control of the situation and invited Shang Yanting to a private room.

"How could this be?!"

The original customers, displeased by this, all chased after him, and everyone forgot about the person who had started the trouble.

Cao Zhijie's face turned somewhat awkward. He held the sword and looked at his goddess, "Miss Xie..."

"Young Master Cao, I'm a little tired. Let's end our trip here for today."

The woman bowed slightly to him, then went out and got into her carriage.

"Young Master."

Seeing that Cao Yunjie was alone, his servant rushed over.

It was truly unlucky to have repeatedly failed to gain favor with the object of his affections and even lose face! Cao Yunjie kicked the servant twice in frustration before getting into the carriage.

Inside the car, he gently stroked the long sword with the solidification symbol affixed to it.

It's important to know that not only are the Radiant Gold Ritual Artifacts expensive, but more importantly, they are practically priceless.

Although the goddess's trip was cut short, she at least spent two hundred taels of silver to acquire a radiant gold magic weapon. He was just missing a suitable radiant gold magic weapon, and now that he had one, his father would surely praise him.

Cao Yunjie gently stroked the talisman on the sword, suddenly remembering that the sword had become a radiant gold magical weapon because of the talisman. If he removed the talisman, wouldn't any fine steel weapon be able to become a radiant gold magical weapon with it?

Do it as soon as you think of it.

He rubbed his fingers together, breathed on his fingertips, then pinched one corner of the talisman and pulled it gently.

He removed the entire talisman intact and then burned it to ashes.

The changes were happening so fast that Cao Yunjie still had a smug smile on his face, pleased with himself for being so clever.

On the other side

The pawnshop manager hurried down from upstairs and greeted Shang Yanting with a big smile.

This person looks to be in his forties or fifties.

He was short and thin, with a goatee, a warm smile, but shrewd eyes.

"Please have a seat, young master. May I ask how many of these talismans you have left?"

Shang Yanting calmly took a sip of tea. "There's one talisman to upgrade your weapon, and another talisman that can replenish a martial artist's true energy in addition to treating ordinary internal and external injuries. Both are priced at 200 taels of silver."

As he spoke, he also mentioned the restrictions on the use of talismans.

The steward fell into deep thought upon hearing this. "Young master, 200 taels of silver for a single talisman is no small sum. Moreover, each talisman can only be used once, so 200 taels per talisman is indeed quite expensive."

"If these items truly have the uses you claim, I am willing to purchase them at 150 taels of silver each, totaling 450 taels. These talismans appear to be extraordinary; since you are in such a hurry to sell them, sir, you must be in dire need of money. I would like to offer you an additional 50 taels as a gesture of goodwill. What do you say?"

"Can."

Shang Yanting nodded slightly, "However, one of the talismans was bought by a young master just now. The situation was urgent at the time, and he was unaware of its limitations. I am worried that this might lead to unnecessary misunderstandings in the future..."

"This happened in our shop. We will definitely explain it to Mr. Cao when he comes to visit in the future."

Don't underestimate him just because he's only in charge.

To be able to open a pawnshop in such a large city, one must have considerable influence behind the scenes.

Cao Yunjie was nothing more than a spoiled brat. If things were really investigated, the Cao family would still have to give his backer some face.

Four talismans

700 taels of silver

It's sold like that?!

Jia Xitong was shocked to find that the talisman she drew was worth so much.

A fine steel weapon worth no more than a hundred taels of silver suddenly possessed the power of radiant gold. Although it was time-limited, it was enough to shock the pawnshop manager.

Shang Yanting slowly left amidst the shock on their faces. Today, he was the biggest winner.

"By the way, dear host, where are your previous talismans?"

She remembered that before Shang Yanting fell off the cliff, she had given him a lot, including the only Mi Su talisman!

"We've used it all up."

Shang Yanting answered calmly.

lie!

Can the talisman be used up completely?

Thinking of the dark past of Shang Yanting during the time of her extraordinary encounter, she stopped asking questions and instead took stock of her own savings.

She had used up all the raw materials for drawing talismans.

I've accumulated quite a few talismans.

Upgraded Burst Talisman: 11 cards

Fixed symbols: 93 in the old version, 2 in the upgraded version

Zhu You Talismans: 76 old version, 3 upgraded version

Based on the price Shang Yanting just sold, the talisman paper she hoarded must be worth two taels of silver!

Wow, that's a lot of money!

We're rich!

"Dear host, are you going to buy me Dark Mace Mystic Grass Paper and Wenyao Fish Blood Ink?"

Jia Xitong was thinking about new materials for drawing talismans and couldn't stop thinking about them.

"My leg hasn't been treated yet."

"Isn't treating your leg only 500 taels of silver? You happen to have 200 taels left."

She had planned everything out for him.

Do you think I'll need to buy medicine after the doctor's visit?

Shang Yanting then asked Jia Xitong a question.

He does seem to be very poor.

But I have money.

How can I fulfill my desire for talisman-making materials without revealing that I'm overweight?

"Do you want to borrow some money? 1,000 sheets of Dark Jade Paper and 10 taels of Wenyao Fish Blood Ink only cost 200 taels of silver. You can borrow two talismans."

We still have more than we need.

Jia Xitong came up with the idea of ​​microloans.

Upon discovering the "system's" eagerness, Shang Yanting suddenly felt a bit 'malicious' and didn't want it to grant his wish immediately. "No need, let's complete this task later."

They really got right to the liver king's weakness.

"Dear host, please go ahead."

"It's just two talismans. You already owe 610 talismans, do you really need these two?"

"I'm not in a hurry for you to pay me back..."

The system kept chattering in my head the whole way.

Listening to its muttering, Shang Yanting's brows relaxed, and he suddenly felt that the journey from the pawnshop to the divine doctor's residence was no longer so difficult.
