Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Shi Chang swallowed hard, as if in disbelief, and asked, “Brother Chen, I didn't hear wrong, did I? You said you want them all? Be clear, these spirit talismans can only be looked at, not used, after you buy them. An ordinary person only needs to buy one. Are you really planning to buy them all?”

“What, is that not allowed? If Brother Shi doesn’t plan to sell, then I’ll be on my way.” Chen Tian glanced at him askance, then stood up, as if to leave.

Shi Chang had finally found a buyer, so how could he easily let Chen Tian leave?

He immediately grabbed Chen Tian's arm and said with a fawning smile, “Hehe, well… Brother Chen, let's talk this over. I didn't say I wouldn't sell.”

But Chen Tian still frowned, looked at the booklet on the table that said 'True Explanation of Talismans,' and said, “That price is barely acceptable, but how about this, Brother Shi, could you give me this booklet as a bonus?”

“Ah? You want this booklet?” Shi Chang looked incredulous and said, “We can't understand the words in this booklet at all. Even if you take it back, it won't be of any use, will it?”

Chen Tian laughed and said, “It's like this, I have a good friend who is also studying talisman-making with me. I want to sell him a spirit talisman after I go back, so that we can both benefit, and I can take the opportunity to recoup some of my losses. The reason I want this booklet is to use Feng Qingzi's jargon to increase my persuasiveness, so that my friend will believe me.”

“Oh, so that's how it is.” Shi Chang nodded, then waved his hand and said generously, “Hey, this thing is useless to me anyway. Since I'm so fated with Brother Chen today, I'll just give it to you as well.”

Hearing Shi Chang's words, a gleam flashed in Chen Tian's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he pretended to be delighted and said, “Then thank you, Brother Shi, for your generosity.”

“Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome.” Shi Chang waved his hand repeatedly, then stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and looked at Chen Tian, asking, “I wonder if Brother Chen can settle the payment now?”

Clearly, Shi Chang was doubting whether Chen Tian had the ability to take out what he wanted to buy the spirit talismans.

Chen Tian naturally heard this and, after smiling slightly, raised his storage ring. Immediately, a golden light shone, carrying a wooden box and three dark black daggers.

Chen Tian first picked up the wooden box, and as soon as he opened the lid, a seven-colored glow immediately shone, illuminating the place beautifully.

It was full of Immortal Crystal Stones!

When Shi Chang saw this, his face lit up with joy and he asked, “Brother Chen, are you planning to pay with Immortal Crystal Stones?”

Chen Tian nodded and said, “That's right, there are one thousand Immortal Crystal Stones here.”

“Hmm, why only one thousand? Didn't we agree on one thousand two hundred?” Shi Chang's face clearly showed displeasure.

Chen Tian smiled and then picked up the other three black daggers and said to him, “Brother Shi, I'm sorry, I only have so many Immortal Crystal Stones on me, but look at these three daggers, they are not ordinary items. Can they be converted into two hundred Immortal Crystal Stones?”

Shi Chang was curious and took the three daggers from Chen Tian's hand. After a brief look, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in horror, “This… this is a demonic artifact!”

Chen Tian did not deny it, but nodded to him.

That's right, these three daggers were exactly what Chen Tian had obtained after killing Lü Lin in Lu Feng Town.

At this time, Shi Chang became even more horrified, as if he was seeing Chen Tian for the first time. He looked at him suspiciously and said in a deep voice, “Brother Chen, since ancient times, good and evil have been irreconcilable. Could it be that you are not one of us cultivators, but an evil demon or monster?”

As he spoke, Shi Chang adopted a defensive posture.

Hearing Shi Chang's words, Chen Tian was first stunned, then laughed, shook his head, and said, “Brother Shi, you are wrong. These three demonic artifacts were obtained from a wicked demon cultivator after I killed him. I am not a demonic person.”

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Shi Chang's expression changed several times, and he said in a deep voice, “Alright, in that case, I will give Brother Chen some face. These three demonic artifacts will be converted into two hundred Immortal Crystal Stones.”

After Shi Chang put the three daggers and the box of Immortal Crystal Stones into his storage belt, he took out two identical spirit talismans and handed them to Chen Tian, cupping his hands and saying, “Since the transaction is complete, then we shall part ways here. Brother Chen, until we meet again.”

After speaking, Shi Chang seemed as if he couldn't stay here for even a moment longer and hurriedly used his token to open the door of the elegant room and rushed out first.

Seeing him like this, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth.

With Chen Tian's current wealth, it was of course impossible that he couldn't take out a mere one thousand two hundred Immortal Crystal Stones, but the reason why he took out three demonic artifacts to offset the price was actually more to threaten Shi Chang.

You must know that the power of those three demonic artifacts was not small, and they had already reached the level of mid-grade magic tools.

The strength of a person who possesses such a demonic artifact must not be underestimated.

Therefore, Chen Tian's statement that he had obtained it after killing a demon cultivator was a subtle warning to Shi Chang that his true cultivation was far more than the seventh level of the Spiritual Enlightenment stage that he saw, and that he should not have any crooked ideas about him.

Chen Tian had no choice but to do this, because Chen Tian had seen clearly just now that when he took out one thousand Immortal Crystal Stones, a hint of greed flashed in Shi Chang's eyes. Although he hid it well, it was still captured by Chen Tian.

So Chen Tian wanted to remind him and dispel any crooked ideas he had about him.

Being in the cultivation world, one really can't relax one's vigilance anywhere.

Chen Tian sighed softly, then retracted his gaze and looked at the three spirit talismans and the booklet on the table. Immediately, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he exclaimed in surprise, “Heavens, I've struck it rich this time!”
