Taoist in green: ...
Ouch! My face! It hurts so much!
The seven stars didn't fly directly to Qiqi's hand, but instead circled around her several times, looking quite excited.
Finally, he even stuck his finger to her face, making Qiqi burst into laughter: "Seven Stars, stop fooling around! Quickly tell that old man over there that you're mine!"
With a whoosh, Qi Xing turned its sword around, aiming the tip at the Taoist in green. It whizzed back, just centimeters away from piercing his throat. The Taoist in green turned pale with fright, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
Seven Stars flew over again, the sword tip always aimed at the green-robed Taoist's throat, as if it would immediately pierce through him if he dared to say he didn't believe it.
The threat is palpable!
Taoist in green: ...
Stop messing around, I'm already chickening out!
Seeing him raise the white flag in surrender, Qiqi beckoned to Qixing with her finger: "Alright, Qixing, come back!"
Seven Stars flew back to Qi Qi in a flash, happily circling around her, occasionally rubbing against her cheek, its joy overflowing.
The Taoist in green sat on the ground for a long time, and only after realizing that Seven Stars would not suddenly stab him through again did he get up from the ground.
After dawdling for a moment, he moved about a meter away from Qiqi, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up his courage to speak: "Um... can I ask why our sect's treasure, which has been passed down for over a thousand years, listens to you so much?"
Qiqi stared at him with her big, dark eyes, tilting her head and saying curiously, "Haven't I told you many times? This is a gift from my master, of course you have to listen to me!"
The Taoist in green couldn't understand it. This sword was passed down to him by his own hands thirty years ago. Even if the claim of a thousand-year-old inheritance was a lie, those thirty years were absolutely real!
Moreover, for the past thirty years, he has been trying to control the Seven Stars, but he has never been able to do so.
This little girl is only three years old, how come Qixing listens to her?
defeat!
Extremely frustrating!
"So you really can make a talisman from any kind of paper?" the Taoist in blue asked, unwilling to give up.
Qiqi blinked and looked at him: "Whether it's true or not, come with us to buy talisman paper and watch me draw it, then you'll know!"
“Alright, I’ll go with you!” The Taoist in green nodded. He didn’t believe that this little girl could actually draw talismans regardless of the quality of the talisman paper.
So the Taoist in green really followed behind Ji Chengfeng and the others, watching him casually enter an antique shop and buy a stack of yellow talismans and cinnabar.
The Taoist in green robes examined the talisman paper and cinnabar and found them to be of such poor quality that they could only be described as crudely made. Even if he... no, even if his master were alive, he could not possibly draw a finished talisman with such cinnabar and talisman paper.
He wanted to see for himself what skills that little girl had, drawing talismans with such third-rate stuff.
Seeing his expression, Qiqi knew he didn't believe her. She gave a haughty snort, telling him to watch closely, and then immediately took a talisman brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and drew a peace talisman.
The moment it was completed, a golden light flashed, proving that the talisman had been successfully drawn.
The Taoist priest in green was completely stunned!
Before drawing the talisman, there was no bathing or incense burning, no quiet prayer; it was just drawn casually, and it actually turned out well?!
You must be kidding!
"Nan!" Qi Qi handed the peace talisman to the Taoist in green.
The Taoist priest in green took the talisman and immediately looked it over from left to right, up to down. It was indeed a peace talisman, and a top-quality one at that!
Top-notch!
Using third-rate materials, they drew a top-quality talisman!
The Taoist priest in green couldn't help but burst into tears.
What about all his efforts over the years? Does that make him a failure?
The Taoist priest in green looked at Qiqi with resentment. He was very unwilling to be outdone by a three-year-old girl.
But……
Even if this little girl is good at drawing talismans, she's definitely terrible at everything else!
He's not without a chance to get it back!
A disheveled old man, looking to be in his seventies or eighties, was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, looking completely undignified. Qiqi couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
"Dad, this old man is so strange! Let's hurry up and leave, or we'll get entangled with him." Qiqi whispered in Ji Chengfeng's ear, "Let's go buy some medicinal herbs quickly, I still need to go back and make medicine for Sixth Brother and Ninth Brother!"
"good."
Ji Chengfeng, holding Qiqi, and Madam Ji turned and left.
Just as I was about to leave, someone suddenly came in carrying a box from outside the antique shop.
As they passed each other, Qiqi twitched her little nose, glanced back, and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"
"What's wrong?" Ji Chengfeng couldn't help but ask when he saw her staring at the box in the man's arms.
"Daddy, there's an incredibly rich spiritual energy in that box, an extremely rich one!" Qiqi emphasized again to show just how rich the spiritual energy in the box was.
She couldn't resist taking a deep sniff. The rich spiritual energy flowed into her body, making her feel completely refreshed.
She took a few breaths, then quickly covered her nose.
No, no, the things in the box belong to someone else, she can't just inhale them.
If all the spiritual energy is absorbed, then the thing will be useless.
Upon hearing this, Ji Chengfeng couldn't help but stop and look at the person holding the box.
After entering the store, the man went straight to the shop manager and said, "Hello, do you buy antiques here? If so, I have something here that has been passed down in my family for generations."
The store manager sized up the newcomer, his attitude somewhat cold: "We do accept goods, but we don't just accept any kind of merchandise."
"Okay, could you please take a look?"
The shopkeeper opened the box, and inside was a jade pendant, which was a very lustrous blood jade.
It is carved with a phoenix holding a pearl, and the carving is very exquisite, clearly the work of a master.
Moreover, these jade pendants are clearly a pair.
One is carved with a phoenix, and the other with a golden dragon.
The item was indeed a good one, and the shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately: "How much are you planning to sell this for?"
Seeing that he was about to accept the money, a hint of joy flashed across the man's anxious expression: "Five hundred thousand!"
"Five hundred thousand?" Upon hearing this price, the shopkeeper immediately threw the jade pendant back into the box. "This is a pair. If you take both, it might still be worth this price. If you only take one, I'll give you a maximum of two hundred thousand."
"Two hundred thousand?" The man shook his head. "Boss, take another look. This is truly a family heirloom. It's a fine item, definitely not worth two hundred thousand. Add a little more."
Two hundred thousand yuan is simply not enough to cover my daughter's surgery costs.
The store manager shook his head, refusing to raise the price no matter what, insisting on offering only 200,000.
Although the item was a good one, he wasn't lying; if it were a pair, it would definitely fetch a high price.
He could buy a single piece for 500,000, but he could tell that the man was in a hurry to raise money, so he deliberately lowered the price.
The man's disappointment was palpable. Looking at the jade pendant in the box, he gritted his teeth, put the pendant away, closed the box, and turned to leave.
