Chapter 9 What is the scariest thing in the world?



After applying the talisman to the correct side, Rong Zi felt a sharp pain in her spiritual sense as soon as she put pen to paper.

This time it should be a success.

With renewed vigor, she endured the pain and carefully drew the intricate runes from her memory onto the talisman paper.

After the final stroke was completed, a faint spiritual light appeared on the patterns of the talisman.

Mission accomplished!

Rong Zi didn't stop. While her divine sense could still withstand it, she drew the remaining five talismans in one go.

By the time she finished drawing, she was covered in sweat.

The next moment, Yun Jing suddenly pointed at Rong Zi and shouted, "Master, you're bleeding from your nose!"

Rong Zi was taken aback and reached out to rub against it.

As a result, my hand got covered in blood.

Seeing that a drop of blood was about to drip onto the talisman that had already been drawn on the table, Rong Zi disregarded her own safety and quickly moved the talisman aside, patting her chest with lingering fear.

Thank goodness.

It's good that the talisman is alright...

If someone asks Rong Zi now.

What is the scariest thing in the world?

She would answer without hesitation.

It's poverty!

It's because we're poor!!

It's because we're poor!!!

well……

Those who have never experienced poverty may never understand this feeling.

Rong Zi drew very low-level talismans.

I drew two of each of the speed-up talisman, the immobilization talisman, and the fire talisman.

The one that was drawn upside down at the beginning was a talisman for immobilization.

To test the final result, she handed the talisman to Yun Jing and asked him to try it out.

Under Rong Zi's encouraging gaze, Yun Jing carefully bent down and stuck the talisman on her leg.

The talisman disappeared the moment it touched his body.

Yun Jing stared in amazement at this miraculous scene for a moment before preparing to get up, only to find that he couldn't move his body.

He was completely dumbfounded while he remained bent over.

"Master, Master, I can't move! Please help me!"

Rong Zi looked down at him, somewhat dumbfounded.

Although she was quite happy that the talisman was successfully applied on the first try, she seemed... not to know how to remove it.

I don't know how long the talisman she drew will last.

...

An hour later.

Yun Jing, who was bent over so much that she was almost crippled, followed Rong Zi while rubbing her back. The two of them set up a stall to sell talismans on the roadside in Shuangyuan City.

Talisman cultivators are highly sought after in the cultivation world.

Even the lowest-level talisman costs at least twenty mid-grade spirit stones.

Since this was Rong Zi's first time drawing talismans, the price was set very low, with each talisman selling for only sixteen mid-grade spirit stones.

Even so, none of the passing cultivators patronized her stall.

The main reason is that her cultivation level is too low...

After all, she's just a novice in the Qi Refining stage right now.

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivators next door who were selling talismans had already packed up and gone home early.

I even took two pounds of beef with me when I left.

The aroma made Rong Zi and Yun Jing's mouths water.

Rong Zi and Yun Jing waited until dark without a single customer. Just when Rong Zi was about to lose heart, a small business owner who specialized in reselling talismans came to her stall and said he wanted to see the effects of the talismans in her hands. If they were good, he planned to buy them all.

However, the price can only be set at ten mid-grade spirit stones per piece.

Rong Zi pondered for a moment, and finally agreed.

Ten mid-grade spirit stones would be fine; it's better than not being able to sell a single one.

The other party selected a speed-up talisman and asked Rong Zi to try it out personally.

Rong Zi did not refuse and, with great dedication, stuck the speed-up talisman on her leg.

The talisman disappeared the moment it was applied.

Before Rong Zi was ready, his body shot straight forward with a 'whoosh,' bumping right into the young boss in front of him.

Even after knocking the person flying, she continued walking.

Rong Zi's legs swung like wheels of fire as she ran, turning her head to loudly apologize to the small business owner who had been knocked flying and landed in an arc: "I'm so sorry!!!"

After an incense stick had burned out, Rong Zi, whose speed-up talisman had finally lost its effect, stood in front of the stall and handed over the remaining four talismans to the shopkeeper.

Cash on delivery.

Forty mid-grade spirit stones were obtained.

The shop owner, clutching his swollen face, looked at Rong Zi with bright eyes and asked, "Did you draw this talisman yourself?"

Rong Zi nodded, "Mm."

"Are you willing to cooperate with me long-term? I'll accept all the talismans you draw in the future, and we can discuss the price further."

Because of the commotion just now, Rong Zi's stall is now surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

Rong Zi glanced at the people around him before replying to the young boss.

"No."

After saying goodbye to the shop owner, Rong Zi bought two pounds of beef and a stack of talismans before returning home with Yun Jing.

After returning home, Rong Zi gave Yun Jing five mid-grade spirit stones. He was so happy that he even hugged the little pouch containing the spirit stones tightly while sleeping.

Rong Zi, on the other hand, stayed up all night drawing talismans.

During this time, she suffered three nosebleeds due to her mental strain and even fainted twice.

Cai Niu lay down next to the talisman and tugged at Rong Zi's hair, "Master, your cultivation level is too low right now. It's not good to overexert your spiritual energy."

Rong Zi continued drawing talismans without stopping. "It's alright. I've already found a way to earn spirit stones. Once we've solved our immediate problem and have enough money for the journey, I'll take Yun Jing to find a suitable training ground so he can become stronger as soon as possible."
