Chapter 14 Selling Talismans at a Stall
"You don't have the magnanimity, yet you try to gain fame by imitating others? Who can't see through your schemes?" Yu Qianling, who hadn't spoken until now, leaned against the pillar and yawned from time to time.
She glanced at Bai Ruoqian and sneered, "A little girl who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage actually 'worries' about the future of the Immortal Alliance? How ridiculous!"
Hearing Yu Qianling's mockery, Bai Ruoqian's face turned pale. In the cultivation world, strength is indeed paramount, and she truly had no say in the matter.
Su Yuyuan: "Hmph, my junior sister is exceptionally talented. It's only a matter of time before she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage. In the future, her achievements will definitely surpass yours!"
"Talent? As if everyone has it."
Yu Qianling grabbed Ye Luo from the side and proudly boasted, "This is my junior brother. In just over two months, he went from the first level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining. It's like every family has a talented junior!"
"?!?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"Such talent is astonishing! Doesn't that make her even more formidable than Bai Ruoqian?"
Everyone turned to look at Ye Luo without prior arrangement.
Third Senior Sister, thank you so much!!
This feeling, like watching a monkey, left Ye Luo speechless.
Now is not the time to be reckless. With the female lead's halo and the resources of a harem of three thousand, that's no joke. He still wants to play it safe!
Su Yuyuan scoffed dismissively, "He's clearly a fake spiritual root, who are you trying to fool?"
Yu Qianling raised an eyebrow. "Heh, believe it or not, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you!"
At this moment, the restaurant owners, seeing the situation, ran up with pained expressions and humbly said, "Esteemed immortals... we are just a small business owner, please be merciful!"
Seeing this, both sides naturally backed down, took out some spirit stones to compensate for the losses, exchanged some harsh words, and then went their separate ways.
High up in the pavilion, several people had a clear view of everything. They were the people sent by the Immortal Alliance, mainly responsible for overseeing the opening of the forbidden area.
"Elder Feng, all preparations for tomorrow's event are complete."
"Okay, you stay here and maintain order."
"yes."
At this moment, the street returned to quiet. Yu Qianling, being a free-spirited person, lit a fire on the side of the street and took out sweet potatoes from her storage bag to roast.
The disciples of the Tianfeng Sect looked at them with disdain in their eyes, but dared not say anything. They could only comfort the wronged Bai Ruoqian, "Junior Sister, don't be angry. We'll show them what's what once we enter the forbidden area!"
Bai Ruoqian ignored them, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at the street. She snorted coldly and turned to go upstairs.

As dawn broke, the cultivators in the city began to make their way to the entrance of the forbidden area.
"Third Senior Sister, Junior Brother, here!" Cen Feng tossed the steamed buns to them and asked, "Are we going over too?"
Yu Qianling: "Okay, let's go."
When they arrived at the entrance assembly point, they saw a dense crowd of people, mostly disciples of sects, with only a handful of independent cultivators.
He carefully observed the number of people from the other sects; some had as few as a dozen, while others had as many as fifty or sixty.
As expected, resources like these are almost entirely controlled by major sects, while minor sects can only scrape by.
Yu Qianling took out teleportation tokens from her storage bag and handed them to the two of them, saying, "Here, take these."
Ye Luo stroked the jet-black jade tablet in her hand, which contained powerful runic energy, presumably used to resist spatial turbulence.
He put away the teleportation token and waited for a long time, but there was still no sign of the Spirit Mansion Forbidden Area opening. Ye Luo got bored and started to feel sleepy, and began to yawn incessantly.
Yu Qianling, on the other hand, used her talent for social skills to strike up conversations with people everywhere, leaving Ye Luo and the other person behind.
Looking at the densely packed crowd, Ye Luo sighed with worry, "There are so many people. Will I be able to grab anything good if I go in?"
If he can't get the spiritual herbs he needs, he'll probably have to spend spirit stones to buy them. Where would he get so many spirit stones?
Yes, there are a lot of people!
Suddenly, a mischievous grin appeared on his face, and with a wave of his hand, he set up a stall on the spot, shamelessly hawking his wares:
"Come on, come on! We have all kinds of talismans! Don't miss out!"
Cen Feng saw stacks of talismans on the ground; weren't these the batch given to him before he set off?
"You have so many? Where did you get these talismans?"
"I drew it myself."
"Aren't you a pill cultivator?"
"Uh... I guess you could call it a side job."
"??!" He must have heard me right, treating talismanic arts as a side job?
Hearing the shouts, the crowd looked at him and whispered among themselves, "Is this guy desperate for money? He's actually selling things here?"
At this moment, the disciples of the Tianfeng Sect looked at him and said disdainfully, "Look at that poor wretch!"
"Hahaha, you've never seen a spirit stone in your eight lifetimes, have you?"
Bai Ruoqian glanced at him, a look of disdain flashing across her face, and said, "Senior brothers, don't say that. If you can shamelessly hawk your wares here, you must be a pitiful person struggling to make ends meet."
"Junior Sister Ruoqian is right to reprimand you; you are truly kind-hearted!"
Bai Ruoqian's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and everyone heard it clearly. They looked at him with strange eyes, a mixture of disdain and pity.
Ye Luo seemed not to hear him and continued shouting.
Cen Feng couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him, and moved closer to whisper, "Junior Brother... let's put it away."
"No way! This is a great opportunity to earn spirit stones. We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
Ye Luo clapped his hands and continued shouting, "The forbidden area is extremely dangerous. Besides dealing with ferocious beasts, you also have to guard against people who covet treasures. The more talismans you have to keep your life, the more opportunities you can seize!"
"Buy a talisman for your Daoist partner, and your love will last forever; buy a talisman for your sweetheart, and you'll win her heart, and your perfect match will be made!"
