After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 103: The World of the Scroll King

After bidding farewell to Long Yan, Zhang Chi and the other two arrived at one of the ports controlled by the Talisman Treasure Sect, the South Port of Spirit Communication City.

The Talisman Treasure Sect is the only sect with two ports. Due to its unique location on an island without any other alliance forces, it is the only sect on the island.

Spirit Communication City is a city created by the Talisman Treasure Sect. Compared to Clear Water Port Town, it is much more prosperous.

One is a town, the other is a city, so naturally there is a big difference.

The port and the city are separate. From a distance, the towering city walls are like iron walls, dominating the area.

In fact, there is no need for city walls here. Water Monsters cannot possibly reach this place no matter how they attack.

If cultivators were to fight, even a city wall would be difficult to defend against.

So...

This is probably just a facade.

In front of the city gate, there is also a giant stone about a few hundred meters high, like a small mountain, which looks very spectacular.

On the stone are carved three words: Spirit Communication City.

Alright, the people of the Talisman Treasure Sect must really love showing off.

Spirit Communication City is quite famous. It is the largest talisman trading market in the entire Coiling Dragon River region, offering a wide range of materials, semi-finished products, and finished products.

There seem to be two reasons for the existence of this city.

One is that the Talisman Treasure Sect focuses on talisman cultivation, and the source of the power of talismans lies in spirit communication, hence the name Spirit Communication City.

The other explanation is that the Talisman Treasure Sect is located in the heart of the Coiling Dragon River, and can communicate with the dragon spirit of the Coiling Dragon River.

This explanation is very exaggerated and completely self-aggrandizing, but with this gimmick, the status of Spirit Communication City has indeed been elevated.

"It's such a big city. Are we going to live here in the future?" Chen Runyu was excited but also a little nervous.

When you first arrive in a foreign place, everyone feels more or less the same.

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Not necessarily. We'll find a place to stay in the city first, and then I'll take you around the city. As for whether we will live here, it depends on the situation."

"Oh."

Chen Runyu actually had many questions, but when she heard that Zhang Chi wanted to take her to play in Spirit Communication City, she didn't care about those questions anymore.

Unlike Clear Water Port Town, you have to pay to enter Spirit Communication City.

The amount is not large, but Zhang Chi was angry.

I just passed by and you want money from me?

Do you think you're a tourist attraction?

No one has ever dared to take advantage of me, Zhang Chi, like this!

I'll remember this grudge and settle the score later.

Zhang Chi had just entered the city for a short while when someone approached him with a flattering face and asked, "Brother, would you like to get a card?"

Zhang Chi: "..."

I've transmigrated, and I still encounter these street advertisements?

"What card?"

The fact that there are many people advertising here indicates that this place is prosperous in terms of business, so there is no need to be angry.

But...

"Get our Spirit Communication Card, which has just been launched. There are special discounts for getting the card. You only need to pay half of the management fee for storing spirit stones, and you can start with a minimum deposit of ten thousand, with no upper limit."

Zhang Chi: "..."

You want me to give you my money and also pay you a management fee? Dream on!

"Do I look like someone who has ten thousand spirit stones?"

"We can provide loans..."

"..."

Borrow your money and keep it in your hands, then charge you a management fee.

What kind of brain-dead marketing tactic is this?

Zhang Chi despised this method of promoting credit cards and decisively waved it away, but a sense of crisis gradually emerged in his heart.

There are already people offering lending services, and the financial functions of Ling Shi's storage will gradually be developed.

There is not much time left for him to enjoy his peaceful life.

After obtaining that one million, Zhang Chi's mind was filled with financial means to harvest wealth.

But his cultivation level is not enough. If he rashly initiates a financial storm to harvest wealth, the next step may be someone harvesting his life.

To be safe, he needs to reach the Dao Integration realm before he can unite more people to get rich together.

Relying solely on himself is not enough.

And without the Dao Integration Realm, he would be crushed by others like a piece of trash.

The idea of breaking through his cultivation level becomes stronger.

But Zhang Chi doesn't really need to be in such a hurry. He is only eighteen years old, and in the cultivation world, it is rare to reach the Foundation Building stage at this age.

Cultivation is a gradual process, and it is not necessarily better to progress faster. Staying in a stage for a sufficient amount of time may not be a bad thing.

Zhang Chi can only temporarily suppress his impatience and find an inn with Chen Runyu. They wander around Spirit Communication City together, buying a lot of yellow and white talisman papers and various spiritual sands along the way.

The worst white talismans are made with cinnabar and are almost ordinary items. They can only deal with enemies at the Qi Condensation and Foundation Building levels, and their effectiveness is limited.

However, Zhang Chi is still in the early stages of learning, so he can only draw white talismans.

White talismans are mainly used for practicing drawing talismans, while yellow talismans are the main ones circulating in the market.

Yellow talismans can already have an effect on strong Divine Soul realm cultivators. This is the power of talismans, as they allow people to fight beyond their level.

Of course, this doesn't mean that an ordinary Qi Condensation or Foundation Building cultivator can deal with a Divine Soul realm cultivator just by using talismans. Zhang Chi was able to make the talismans work before because he launched a surprise attack.

If not for that, the talismans wouldn't stick to the opponent's forehead and he would have been beaten up.

Individual yellow talismans are not expensive, and one spirit stone can buy five of them.

This is the price in Spirit Communication City. In Clear Water Port Town, one spirit stone can only buy one.

Therefore, many people passing through Spirit Communication City will buy a batch of yellow talismans to sell.

There are too many people in the Talisman Treasure Sect who draw talismans, and the industry is highly competitive. As Zhang Chi walked around, he found that in some places, one spirit stone could buy six yellow talismans.

They are so competitive that Zhang Chi lost confidence in this industry.

Damn it, I was already overworked when I was working, and now that I'm cultivating, I still have to compete with others.

Can't I enjoy my life in this lifetime?

Feeling frustrated, Zhang Chi no longer had the mood to go shopping.

Chen Runyu, on the other hand, was enthusiastic, looking around here and there, but not buying anything.

Zhang Chi is not the kind of self-centered person.

When he is thinking about things, he wears a smile on his face, seemingly in a good mood.

When going out shopping, even if he is tired, he can't let his female companion feel unhappy, because unhappiness is contagious.

Rarely passing by a Precious Treasure Pavilion, Zhang Chi stopped and picked gifts for Zi Mian and Chen Runyu.

He chose a hairpin for Chen Runyu, which is made of ordinary materials and is not a Law Weapon, but it is unique in design and exquisitely patterned.

For Zi Mian, he chose two red hairbands that can be used to tie double ponytails.

The Immortal Cultivation World also has aesthetic demands, and girls also buy some things that have no practical use.

Both gifts are ordinary items with low prices, but Chen Runyu is still happy to receive the gift.

"Senior brother doesn't have much financial capability now, but when senior brother becomes successful in the future, I will give you better gifts."

"No need, senior brother. I'm already very happy with this gift."

Chen Runyu is naturally happy. Even if it's an ordinary item, it's the thought that counts!

Zi Mian didn't say anything, she just silently held onto the red hairbands.

So, she also has a share...
