Chapter 101 A Battle Between Masters

Gu Yunxi smiled when she saw the person appearing on the other side!

"What bad luck to run into a fellow Taoist! May I ask what you seek, Taoist priest?"

The Taoist priest, dressed like Uncle Ying, stood up and pointed a peach wood sword at the camera.

"You're the liar Gu Yunxi?"

[What? This guy's here to challenge us? Don't think that just because you're dressed like a respectable person, you have the right to question our master.]

[Ahem, I know him. He's a fake Taoist priest. He might have a hundred followers at most, and they're all just watching out of curiosity. He streams every night, but there are only seven or eight people in his chat. What's worse, he even has shared shared bikes on social media. Do you know what he's selling on those bikes?]

[Speak up! Why are you being so secretive? Are you afraid we'll find out and rob you?]

【No, you don't know, he's actually selling talismans. Although I can't understand what he's drawing, those "Fu" talismans aren't cheap either. He claims to be a descendant of some talisman-making family, and each talisman costs over a thousand yuan. What's worse, he's actually sold dozens of them. Master, he's definitely here to challenge us today. Let's teach that swindler a lesson.】

oh?

Is this even possible? Selling goods using shared bikes?

Gu Yunxi entered the man's live stream using a secondary account and found the yellow car. Sure enough, there were several links, but they were all common symbols. They were obviously drawn from books, and some were not even finished. How could they make money from this?

They're really burning money!

"I am Gu Yunxi, but you are wrong about one thing: I am not a liar."

Sitting in front of the camera, Zhang Hao said rather provocatively, "Then do you dare to have a match with me?"

"What are we comparing?"

"Let's see who can draw the most powerful talisman."

[You're a scammer, you're doomed. Think carefully about how to tip Master Gu.]

“Okay, if I lose, I’ll give you a gift worth 10,000 yuan. If you lose, give me the ‘Complete Book of Talismans’ next to you.”

Zhang Hao glanced at the yellowed copy of "The Complete Book of Talismans" on the table in front of the camera. How did she know he had this book? After all, it wasn't in front of the camera.

Looking at the camera with a puzzled expression, and adjusting her posture, she asked, "How did you know I had this book? Do you have clairvoyance?"

Gu Yunxi prepared all the tools. "You said it yourself, aren't you all cultivators? If you don't even have this much skill, how dare you do a live stream?"

"Just tell me whether you should or shouldn't you?"

Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment. If he won, he could earn 10,000 yuan, which was more than he could earn even if he streamed for several months.

The main point is that they're using a yellow shopping cart icon, and the people placing orders on it are themselves, all to create the impression that their charms are selling very well. Even the reviews are bought with money.

But if we lose, the "Complete Collection of Talismans" is a treasure passed down from our ancestors. Although no one can fully understand it, it is very valuable.

I don't have much money in my card, so I'll take a gamble. Anyway, I can't understand the book. I can only draw from the first few chapters. It uses a lot of things, and even requires human essence and blood. It's scary to look at, let alone learn it.

Of all the things in the world, eating is the most important.

"Okay, I'll take it. Since you have more people than me, let me start first."

"Okay! Let's do something simple and draw a peace and good fortune symbol at the same time!"

[Friends, let's get started! Take out your notebooks and pens, let's learn to draw too. What if we can master it someday? Wouldn't that make us masters?]

Some people were sending comments, while others were looking for paper and pens. Although it was a live stream, some people could record the screen, some couldn't, some could replay, and some left no trace after the broadcast, probably because some hardcore people were manipulating things behind the scenes.

Being able to learn how to draw amulets in front of so many people, and if you learn it, you'll really hit the jackpot.

Zhang Hao took out his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, briefly left the camera's view, and then reappeared to start painting as if he were doing something else.

Gu Yunxi watched his every move. Even his posture when holding the pen was incorrect, and his strokes were inappropriate. Could someone like this draw talismans?

Just kidding, if everyone did that, everyone could become a master.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Hao picked up the talisman he had drawn and placed it in front of the camera.

"How was it? Not bad, right?"

Gu Yunxi nodded. "You must have worked hard copying the drawing, right?"

[Pfft! That's hilarious! This is truly devastating. I wasn't even there with that so-called Master Zhang Hao; I just stepped out of the camera's view for a moment, apparently to prepare things for cheating.]

Friends, I just took a picture of that talisman and searched it on Baidu. Guess what? There are tons of similar talismans on Baidu. Did he draw it on his phone?

[If a swindler like this can call himself a master, does that mean I can just buy a set of clothes online, get some writing brushes, ink, and paper, and pretend to be a master too?]

Zhang Hao's face turned liver-colored, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation.

He wanted to see what this young woman was capable of, to have millions of fans.

Were those fans there because of her looks?

Gu Yunxi deliberately placed the camera in front of her hand, "I've read a lot of everyone's comments just now. If anyone really wants to learn, they can try it. Although the effect may be so-so, it will still be somewhat useful."

"Practice makes perfect. Once you're familiar with it, you can buy some incense and candles from a shop and draw some yourself to let your family know you're safe."

Wow, Master Gu is so cute! Does she think someone as slow as me can possibly learn this?

[The main thing is that I'm interested, but my hands just won't obey me! It's hilarious! Does she want to teach this useless person like me?]

Cen Ling stared intently at the screen, holding a pen and paper. The screen was projected onto the wall, and a dozen or so people watched the live stream with curiosity.

Although they were all cultivators, they didn't really know how to draw talismans. At Elder Cen's request, everyone prepared to learn how.

Gu Yunxi began to draw slowly, stroke by stroke, without holding back at all.

After all, the peace and safety blessing is the simplest blessing. If everyone knew how to draw it, it could protect every household, reduce disasters, and also be considered as accumulating good karma for oneself.

Those watching the screen intently noticed that every stroke she made seemed to have some kind of special effect, with a flash of light.

She drew this symbol very slowly, taking six minutes in total. When she connected the last stroke, the symbol was actually glowing.

Zhang Hao stared intently at the screen. The moment Gu Yunxi put down her pen, he knew he had lost.

He lost completely. His father was right; not every member of the Zhang family was suited for this line of work. But he was stubborn and wouldn't listen.

He desperately wanted to carve out his own niche, but reality was too cruel, teaching him lesson after lesson.

This woman is truly a master, the kind of Taoist person who only appears in TV dramas!

With such a beautiful face, she could easily become a huge star, let alone work in this industry.

"How is it, Master Zhang? How does my talisman compare to yours?"

"I...I give up!"
