Shang Yanting had just walked out of the auction house when he was blocked in a narrow alley.

Three young men dressed in shorts and with sinister faces surrounded him, holding various weapons.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant."

"Damn it, hand over all your valuables."

The man at the head of the group subtly revealed his exaggerated muscles as he slowly walked towards Shang Yanting.

He was naturally furious that Xie Qingxian had fooled him at the auction.

He knew that Shang Yanting was only at the mid-stage of Martial Apprentice, and the people he had brought were also at the mid-stage of Martial Apprentice, with the leader being at the late stage of Martial Apprentice. He was determined to teach him a lesson.

Jia Xitong observed in her sea of ​​consciousness, "Dear host, they look so fierce."

She found her remaining 11 Explosion Talismans.

Shang Yanting's gaze swept over the three men, and his spiritual energy quietly circulated within his body. A flash of cold light appeared in the alley, and the three men fell silently to the ground.

Although he was only a mid-stage martial arts apprentice, he had been training his agility since childhood.

Moreover, the first step in cultivating the source technique is to inhale and exhale spiritual energy.

A mid-stage Martial Apprentice is stronger than a typical late-stage Martial Apprentice.

He killed to silence witnesses, decisive and ruthless.

A faint sound came from the end of the alley.

Shang Yanting immediately looked up, "Who?"

A figure appeared ahead and bowed slightly to him. "I am Liang Wanxi, the manager of Wanbaoge. I rushed here to invite you to have a chat with my master."

It didn't just arrive.

He actually arrived quite some time ago.

Liang Wanxi, as the manager of Wanbaoge, possesses the strength of the early stage of the Martial Realm.

Seeing the three surrounding Shang Yanting, he originally intended to help them later, making Shang Yanting owe him a favor. Unexpectedly, this mid-stage Martial Apprentice cultivator's strength surpassed that of a late-stage Martial Apprentice, and he killed them directly.

A potential genius who cultivates both martial arts and talismans, with a future that may be limitless.

Therefore, he became even more respectful.

##

The fourth floor of Wanbaoge.

As the most powerful force in Zhaocheng, this place is even more magnificent than the Divine Physician's Mansion.

A chubby man with a round head sat directly in front, smiling broadly at the newcomer. "Young Master Shang, please have a seat."

Liang Ting.

Jia Xitong knew this person.

In "The Legend of the Gods and Demons", he becomes the richest man in a small town, then the richest man in the country, and finally the richest man in the entire continent.

The novel doesn't describe the man's appearance in detail, only that he is smooth-talking and adept at navigating social situations, rising from an unknown ordinary person to become the richest man in the world. He is exceptionally capable, yet a smiling tiger.

Unfortunately, he was killed by the male protagonist in the later part of the story, who used him as a resource.

If Jia Xitong didn't know how he was described in the original work, she would definitely be fooled by his fat head, big ears, and honest appearance.

He himself is also very good at using this appearance.

After Shang Yanting entered the room, he revealed his entire plan, looking at him with the sincere eyes of an honest man.

“We are willing to pay 200 taels per unit, please provide us with 100 solidification talismans and 100 blessing talismans every month. Moreover, as long as you do not wish, we will not reveal your identity as a talisman cultivator.”

"Two hundred talismans a month?"

With his back to the expensive silk fabric, Shang Yanting seemed to be asking him a question, but in reality, he was asking Jia Xitong.

Making money!

With some effort, you can probably get around 300 copies a month.

[Hello, task user. It is necessary to remind you that you currently owe the system one basic talisman.]

The 10,000 basic talismans must be repaid within 3 years, otherwise the monthly interest rate will increase by 5%. If the debt cannot be repaid within five years, the tasker will be declared bankrupt, and the task will fail.

Ten thousand talismans, and three years to go.

That means the monthly payment is 277.

She has to draw at least nine talismans a day to pay off her loan.

With the current success rate of one out of eighty talismans, you'd have to draw at least eight hundred talismans a day to reach that goal.

Jia Xitong thought she was about to embark on a meteoric rise to wealth, but was suddenly jolted awake by a system notification.

"Dear host, I can't do it."

Her little bit of money was gone, but life is definitely more important than money. "At most, I can only make thirty basic talismans a month."

Shang Yanting had received so much from it these past few days that he almost forgot the day when the 'system' used ten thousand talisman papers to make one talisman. Hearing her words, he wasn't surprised.

“Boss Liang, I can only produce 20 of these talismans each month.”

"Aren't there a few more?"

Liang Ting sat up and asked.

"No."

Shang Yanting answered firmly, "I'm sorry, my abilities are limited."

"Twenty is fine too."

Liang Ting nodded slightly, then offered a compromise, "But we would appreciate it if you could continue to provide us with supplies for another year."

The method of drawing talismans has long been lost.

But a year is enough time for him to send people to study how to draw these two talismans. "In addition, I would like to ask that if you have any new talismans for sale, please think of Wanbaoge first. The price and other things are negotiable."

If Young Master Shang ever needs any help in the future, Wanbao Pavilion will do its utmost to assist him.

"That's natural."

Shang Yanting nodded with a warm smile, "Also, I do have a thorny issue. I'd like to buy a prop that can change one's appearance. I wonder if Wanbaoge has any?"

“Wanbaoge recently acquired a batch of novelties, including a mask called ‘Thousand-Faced Ghost’.”

Liang Ting gestured for someone to bring the mask over. "The only purpose of this item is to change one's appearance. It was originally purchased for 80 taels of silver. If Young Master Shang needs it, you can take it at the original price."

However, prolonged use can cause mild facial redness and itching, or even disfigurement.

Young Master Shang should use this with caution.

Thank you.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and although they didn't confide in each other, they got along very well.
