Yang Yitian's reason was that he had ruined a lot of talismans recently and urgently needed materials to replenish his inventory.
Half a year ago, Yang Yitian accepted Xiong Shuang's materials and promised to give him some talismans. Although he only mentioned it vaguely at the time, it did not prevent him from keeping his word.
He immediately took out a handful of talismans and handed them to Xiong Shuang.
Xiong Shuang was overjoyed to receive the talisman and quickly said, "I don't have the materials you need right now, but I'll have someone go find them for you later."
Yang Yitian said, "Brother Xiong, you can just go and inform them. I'll set up a stall later and exchange materials with them."
Hearing that Yang Yitian planned to tell others about this, Xiong Shuang felt a little uneasy. He wanted to get more talismans, but it wasn't that he was unwilling. After all, he had limited materials, and from Yang Yitian's words, it seemed that there were still quite a few talismans he could exchange.
Xiong Shuang didn't hesitate for long before going out to discuss the matter with others.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiong Shuang returned with a group of people.
"Brother Yang, I've brought some people with me. Take a look and see how many talismans you have to exchange for them!" Xiong Shuang shouted loudly as soon as he closed the door.
Yang Yitian said, "I have quite a few talismans. Like the ones I just gave you, I have two thousand more. In addition, I have talismans of five different stages, each with a different range and price."
"So many left!" Xiong Shuang gasped. Yang Yitian had only given him thirty talismans, yet he still had so many. This made Xiong Shuang a little envious. He was originally a physical cultivator, and before entering this world, talismans weren't very useful to him. Therefore, he didn't carry many talisman materials. The ones he gave to Yang Yitian and the others were actually half of his total talisman materials. He had originally planned to exchange the other half for things with Yang Yitian later. Now that he knew Yang Yitian had so many, he really wished he could exchange them all!
Yang Yitian: "If it's just for maintaining daily consumption, there's no need to exchange so many. I'll draw more later, and you can use them slowly. Right now, it's more practical to distribute some to everyone."
Those who were called here were all curious, because they had not yet witnessed the power of the talismans drawn by Yang Yitian, and naturally they were not as excited as Xiong Shuang.
"Boss Xiong, you called us here to exchange for a treasure, but what kind of treasure is it?" someone asked at this moment.
These were mostly Xiong Shuang's subordinates. Although Xiong Shuang managed the entire settlement, not everyone was loyal to him. After all, everyone was gathered here just to live a good life and didn't need to obey Xiong Shuang completely.
Therefore, Xiong Shuang has only called over people he trusts so far.
There were a total of twenty-three people, which was not a large proportion of the more than one hundred people gathered there, but compared to the other scattered cultivators, suppressing them would not be a problem.
Yang Yitian immediately asked everyone to make way, then activated a talisman, and a wisp of air instantly filled the space they had just occupied.
Because of their large size, the talismans took longer to process, and they waited patiently for half an hour.
While waiting, someone still asked, "What are you doing? Why waste spiritual energy to create such a large air mass?"
"Be patient and you'll find out soon." Xiong Shuang explained impatiently. Once the spiritual energy appears, you'll know after trying it out.
Half an hour later, Yang Yitian said, "Alright, now everyone can try extending their soul power."
Everyone looked at Xiong Shuang.
Xiong Shuang had already extended his soul power to absorb the spiritual energy! This was free spiritual energy!!!
Of course he wanted to absorb more. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to use his own talismans, but he was quite willing to use other people's.
"Alright, stop spacing out, quickly try extending your soul power!" Xiong Shuang saw that everyone was waiting for his instructions, so he had no choice but to speak up.
Upon hearing Xiong Shuang's words, everyone immediately extended their soul power.
Upon absorbing the spiritual energy, everyone was astonished!
"This is actually spiritual energy that can be absorbed!"
"This spiritual energy is much purer than that of spirit stones, how could this be?!"
"The spiritual energy in spirit stones is full of impurities; it can't compare to such pure spiritual energy!"
"Boss, what's going on here! How can there be such spiritual energy here!"
"Am I still half asleep? I actually dreamt that I could absorb spiritual energy! Hahaha, how could there possibly be any spiritual energy that can be absorbed in this world? I must be still half asleep."
Xiong Shuang was speechless: "You guys are utterly spineless, you've really embarrassed me!"
Yang Yitian picked up where Xiong Shuang left off and answered the crowd: "This is the effect of the talisman I just released. Once the talisman is activated, after a while, it can absorb the spiritual energy processed by the talisman. This is also what I want to trade with you this time."
Someone immediately asked, "What do you want to exchange? There aren't many things left that are still usable in this world."
Yang Yitian explained, "Because I am a talisman master, I can draw some talismans. This kind of talisman that processes spiritual energy is the one I draw the most for calculating time. However, I am a little short of materials. I know you should have some materials. I wonder if I can exchange this talisman for materials with you?"
"I'll change! I'll change!"
"I want to change too!"
...
Even before their soul power was fully contained within the energy sphere, everyone was already chattering about wanting to change their talismans.
While absorbing spiritual energy, someone took out materials and handed them to Yang Yitian: "This is my share. See how many talismans you can exchange for it?"
Keeping these materials is pointless; they can be exchanged for talismans that can absorb spiritual energy. There's no need to keep these useless materials at all.
Yang Yitian checked it over and exclaimed, "Wow! You've bought quite a lot of things from me!" He immediately beamed, "You have a lot of materials here, I'll exchange them for a hundred more." With that, he took out a talisman, counted out a hundred, and gave them to the other party.
The person who proposed the deal didn't even try to negotiate! What time is it now! He'd be ecstatic if he had just one or two, but now he has so many, how could he not be overjoyed?
As for haggling? Forget about it. If he angers Yang Yitian and Yang Yitian refuses to give it to him, he'll have nowhere to complain.
After the first person offered to exchange, the others followed suit. One by one, Yang Yitian took out storage bags and gave them to his clients, filling them with their own talismans.
After exchanging all the latest versions of talismans, Yang Yitian said, "I still have some that aren't very good. Take a look and see if you want to return them to the other people in the settlement? I heard that the beast tide is approaching soon." As he spoke, he took out several thousand more talismans, which made everyone present stare in astonishment.
Xiong Shuang took these poor-quality talismans and helped him replace them.
Now, the news that Yang Yitian could draw talismans that allowed people to absorb spiritual energy has spread throughout this gathering place.
They all had some materials on hand, so they generously handed them over in exchange for talismans.
In less than half a day, Yang Yitian had sold all the talismans he had stockpiled.
Yang Yitian received a pile of materials, which made him very happy.
After the hunt, Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng did not linger but went out to investigate. Yang Yitian also went out under the pretext of finding a way to improve his talismans.
Otherwise, Yang Yitian would be under strict protection right now, and he wouldn't have any chance to get out.
They left in a hurry this time, almost as if they were fleeing in panic.
After Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng had walked a little further away, he patted his chest and said, "These seniors are too enthusiastic. I could hardly get out."
Qi Zhiheng said, "It's because you're so capable that no one stopped me from coming out."
Yang Yitian rolled his eyes.
The beast tide was already approaching, and it would have been somewhat inappropriate for the two of them to come out at this time. However, since everyone in the settlement now possessed talismans and the spiritual energy was plentiful, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian wouldn't have much of an impact on the settlement even without them. So, the two of them came out.
Qi Zhiheng's trip this time was still related to cultivation.
His current plan is to further improve his Five Elements Body Forging Technique and then go deep into the forest to find out why so many wild beasts are gathering there.
As for why they haven't moved towards the direction with the most abundant spiritual energy, it's mainly because they can't truly enter the central area in a short period of time.
Another six months passed, and Qi Zhiheng broke through to the next level of the "Five Elements Body Forging Technique"! At the same time, he also entered the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
After tidying up, Qi Zhiheng went outside the forest.
Since the previous beast tide had just passed, there weren't many wild animals here, so the people in the settlement hadn't come out to hunt together during this period.
Now is a time when there are fewer wild animals, and Qi Zhiheng felt this was a good opportunity.
After releasing Yang Yitian, the two entered the forest.
Yang Yitian has also reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage due to his long period of drawing talismans.
Qi Zhiheng remained speechless. Utilizing the violent spiritual energy here, his cultivation speed had increased more than tenfold compared to the past. Under such circumstances, he was still able to compete with Yang Yitian's cultivation level to a standstill, which showed just how extraordinary Yang Yitian's talent was.
However, he has come to terms with it now and doesn't care about these things as much anymore.
Lost in thought, the two entered the inner part of the forest. Their previous group hunt had taken place in roughly this area, but now only a few wild animals were wandering around outside. Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng had no choice but to continue walking in.
Qi Zhiheng still wonders what caused the beast tide. If this investigation goes smoothly, these questions will be answered.
