After finishing speaking, Manager Chen fell silent, picked up his teacup, and took a small sip.

…………
Before leaving Jin Yuan Ge, Lin Xiuyuan purchased a batch of materials for mid-level talismans and then bought enough food.
With the delivery of four Water Shield Talismans, Lin Xiuyuan's empty purse suddenly swelled up again, as each talisman could bring in dozens of spirit stones.
From today onwards, your income will be several times higher than before.
After purchasing a batch of materials, there was still quite a bit left. After setting aside enough money to pay the rent, I specially selected some spirit beast meat, spirit rice, and other items to treat myself.
Furthermore, we can't let Liao Cai'er's culinary skills go to waste, can we?
After everything was finished, an invisible pressure swept over me again.
Lin Xiuyuan's mood remained unsettled.
Manager Chen's words still seemed to echo in my ears...
When a storm comes and sweeps across the land, the first to suffer are always the small fish and shrimp...
Lin Xiuyuan was just one of those small fish. At the very bottom of the entire market, a single misstep could easily have him swallowed up by the aftershocks!
This is why Lin Xiuyuan hadn't agreed to become a Level 1 Guest Elder before. A Level 2 Guest Elder was just a verbal agreement; reaching Level 1 would make him a core member, requiring him to swear an oath, and he didn't want to be bound to that position.
Besides the fact that the Golden Sea Sect is not skilled in the inheritance of talismanic arts, this is the biggest reason.
Located in the desolate southern frontier, the region was constantly embroiled in conflict. For thousands of years, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance was engaged in a great war with the Barbarian Demon Palace, which only gradually subsided a few hundred years ago, with the conflict between humans and demons ending when the Barbarian Demon Palace ceded most of the southern frontier.
Low-level cultivators in such a place have no control over their own destiny and can only drift along with the tide of the times.
Lin Xiuyuan had no interest in vying for opportunities and saw no need to stay in such an unstable place.
With the Purple Talisman of Immortal Fortune in hand, it is naturally safest to stay away from places of conflict and cultivate in peace.
On his way home, Lin Xiuyuan gradually made up his mind and muttered to himself:
"Once we refine a high-grade ninth-rank talisman, we will have no fear of those tribulation cultivators. We will wait for Liao Yong to return, then leave this market and head inland."
However, to Lin Xiuyuan's surprise, the overwhelming tide came so quickly and so unexpectedly.
Like a small boat at sea, you never know when the storm will come. The weather is unpredictable, and by the time it arrives, it's too late to struggle out.
