He's here to pay back the money!
He asked around and found that a shop called Wanbaoge at the foot of the mountain did indeed sell a talisman that could enhance weapons.
This talisman can directly upgrade ordinary steel weapons to the Radiant Gold level, but it costs 300 taels of silver per talisman.
Despite the high price, they were snapped up.
Wanbaoge sells only 18 of these talismans each month, and pre-orders are already booked until the second half of the year. On the secondary market, the price has skyrocketed to 500 taels of silver, and there's practically no market for them.
500 taels of silver!
The tenth senior brother took a deep breath and carefully unfolded the piece of cloth in his hand, revealing another piece of cloth wrapped inside.
There's another piece of cloth when you unfold it further.
Wrapped in three pieces of Russian cloth, a silver note worth 500 taels of silver revealed its true form.
Jia Xitong: ...No wonder my senior brother is so cautious.
"Tenth Senior Brother, where did you get so much money?"
As far as she knew, her tenth senior brother didn't even have 5 taels of silver in assets!
"I sold a small amount of spirit stones."
The tenth senior brother scratched his head.
Five hundred taels of silver—he had never seen so much money in the entire first half of his life.
But didn't Qing Shuang Peak come in first place? The small portion of spirit stones they each received was worth at least 10 gold (1000 taels of silver).
So he sold half of it, which was just enough to return to her.
"Ah, this..."
Hearing the tenth senior brother's explanation was quite surprising.
Spirit stones are not only expensive, but also very rare.
As someone who needs to cultivate himself, he shouldn't sell it.
Jia Xitong sighed as she looked at her tenth senior brother's honest appearance, accepted the silver notes, and then took out two new solidification talismans from her pocket. "Take these."
How come it's still there?
This generous gesture startled the tenth senior brother.
Didn't his friend from Shengyang Peak say that talismans are extremely rare, even for disciples of aristocratic families?
If Xitong throws out two cards at once, doesn't that mean he's even more powerful than the disciples of aristocratic families?
"I...I have no money left."
The tenth senior brother shook his head.
The treasure that can turn steel weapons into gleaming gold weapons is certainly tempting, but his resources are what they are.
"No need to pay."
After all, she sold it to Wanbaoge for 200 taels of silver, and her tenth senior brother gave her 500 taels of silver, so she certainly couldn't rip him off.
Jia Xitong waved her hand generously, but then gave him a special reminder, "Don't tell Yan Qing."
The tenth senior brother had two solidification talismans in his arms, and it felt a bit like a dream.
They came in a daze, and they returned in a daze.
noon
His new friend from Shengyang Peak came to visit him again.
Seeing his tenth senior brother's dazed expression, the disciple waved his hand in front of his eyes.
"What, are you feeling the pinch over five hundred taels of silver?"
The disciple patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be sad. The money will come back. Honesty and trustworthiness are qualities that money can't buy. I'm willing to be your friend because you are a very honest person."
The tenth senior brother hesitated to speak after hearing this.
Because I promised Xitong that I would get two solidification talismans for nothing, I can't tell anyone.
He just lowered his head and waved his hand, feeling both happy and frustrated.
"Oh, it's nothing."
Seeing his "dejected" appearance, the disciples of Shengyang Peak pulled him up and said, "Come on, it's my treat. I'll take you down the mountain for a couple of drinks."

"Our talismans can sell for 500 taels of silver!"
Jia Xitong told Shang Yanting the news she had just learned from her tenth senior brother.
If they directly sell the talismans at the academy, they can earn more than double the price; keeping them at Wanbaoge would be a huge loss.
"But that would attract attention."
Once it's revealed that he and the system are the source of the talismans, will someone use forceful means to threaten them into handing over all the talismans?
Could someone force them to hand over the production method?
Will anyone question his identity?
He already knew the price of talismans at the academy.
While selling directly within the academy could earn more money, it also came with greater risks.
"Our goal is to become stronger; money and resources are just tools in the process."
As he spoke, he patted Jia Xitong's head and said, "Making money is something that should be left to professionals. Liang Ting is a smart man; he knows what to do."
well.
Being patted on the head by a handsome man is something even a bear can't resist.
Jia Xitong flattened himself into a pancake on his chest; it wouldn't cost much anyway, so let him be.
Rest is short-lived.
Shang Yanting has been cultivating diligently lately, often entering a meditative state for half a day or a whole day.
Her happiest thing every day is gaining experience points.
During the Four Peaks Grand Competition, she was still at the mid-stage of the Talisman Apprentice realm. However, in just one month, she had already advanced to the late-stage of the Talisman Apprentice realm, only a tiny bit away from breaking through to the Talisman Realm.
While others work hard every day, she practices her skills while lying down.
Due to the unique nature of the "Cultivation Source Technique," the spiritual energy in the surrounding environment has recently become insufficient to support his cultivation speed. Originally, spirit stones were something only martial artists used, but he plans to try them out ahead of time.
A spirit stone the size of a marble was held in the palm of his hand.
When the spiritual energy circulated through his body to the second minor cycle, the spirit stone began to glow.
Because of the spirit stone, there is a constant and abundant supply of spiritual energy during cultivation, which is much richer than the sparse and scattered spiritual energy captured from the surrounding environment.
He cultivated all night without sleeping, but he was more energetic than if he had slept for a whole day.
The next day, he woke up from his meditation.
The spiritual power of the spirit stone in Shang Yanting's palm had completely disappeared, turning into powder with a gentle squeeze, but the spiritual energy within his body was much greater than what he had accumulated in a week of cultivation.
