Chapter 27: Niutou Mountain!

A few days later.

Ruyi Tower.

"Brother Lu, I've gathered some information. There's a gathering of scattered cultivators in Niutou Mountain, about three hundred miles away from Ruyi County. They are holding a trading convention that will last for about five or six days."

"If you want to participate, take this communication token with you to Niutou Mountain. Someone will activate the formation and guide you in."

Hong Yi knocked on the door and said to Lu Changsheng.

As he spoke, he took out a brownish-yellow talisman.

"Thank you, Brother Hong. You must have gone through some trouble to obtain this information. These three talismans I drew myself will serve as a token of my gratitude."

Lu Changsheng took out three low-grade first-tier talismans and handed them to Hong Yi, saying so.

This communication token is a basic talisman and not worth much.

But the fact that the other party helped him gather information and obtained this token must have taken some effort.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, he naturally wouldn't let others suffer losses.

Moreover, Hong Yi also had some status in the mortal world, and he was willing to maintain this network of connections.

Perhaps in the future, when his own children settle in the mortal world, he might have to trouble Hong Yi.

Hong Yi looked at the three talismans Lu Changsheng handed over, feeling a bit envious.

But he still waved his hand and said, "Brother Lu, you're too polite. It didn't cost me much. I can't accept it."

"Brother Hong, if you're so polite, I won't be able to ask for your help in the future."

Lu Changsheng said so and placed the talismans in Hong Yi's hand.

"In that case, I won't be polite anymore!"

Seeing this, Hong Yi didn't refuse and accepted the talismans.

Then he clasped his hands and said, "Brother Lu, I still have some connections here in Ruyi County. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask."

Now that Lu Changsheng had become a talisman master and was so generous, Hong Yi naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with him.

"Alright, if there's anything in the future, I won't be polite."

Lu Changsheng clasped his hands in return.

"By the way, Brother Lu, if you're going to participate in this kind of gathering, you have to be careful."

"These gatherings of scattered cultivators are a mix of good and bad, and there are no high-level cultivators to restrain them. There are often some bandits who target lone cultivators."

"If Brother Lu is going to sell talismans, if the quantity is not too large, I can represent the Ruyi Marquis Mansion and buy them all."

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had taken out three talismans, Hong Yi guessed that Lu Changsheng probably had a lot of talismans on him and might be going to sell them, so he spoke up.

Most upper-class figures in the mortal world knew about the path of cultivation and some even practiced it.

The Ruyi Marquis Mansion was no exception, and Lu Changsheng was not the only cultivator there.

However, they were all Qi Refining stage cultivators, slightly better than ordinary scattered cultivators.

They naturally had a demand for talismans, which were common items.

But if he wanted to buy low-grade talismans, he could still find them.

Buying from Lu Changsheng was not about being cheap, but about deepening their relationship and exchanging information.

Lu Changsheng was currently a first-tier low-grade talisman master.

In the future, he might become a second-tier talisman master, or even have a chance to become a first-tier high-grade talisman master.

Once he could draw first-tier high-grade talismans, things would be different.

Getting to know a first-tier high-grade talisman master and having a stable source of talismans would also be helpful for his position in the Ruyi Marquis Mansion.

If their relationship improved in the future, Lu Changsheng could sell him a large number of talismans at a price lower than the market price, which would be a big profit for him.

Perhaps he could even compete for the position of the Marquis Mansion's heir.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Hong. I will be careful."

"I don't have many talismans either. They are mainly for self-defense. But if Brother Hong needs them, I can sell you some at a discounted price."

Lu Changsheng smiled and took out ten first-tier low-grade talismans.

When he revealed his first-tier talisman mastery at the Lu Family, he had stored nearly five hundred talismans.

And in the past six months, with the monthly supply of materials from the Lu Family, he had stored another five hundred talismans.

In other words, he now had about a thousand talismans on him.

A very exaggerated and astonishing number.

Among these talismans, about half were low-grade and half were medium-grade.

If converted into spirit stones, it would be two to three thousand spirit stones.

However, wealth is not displayed openly, so naturally it will not be revealed.

If Hong Yi wants it, he is willing to sell it at a low price.

Because Lu Changsheng himself is also aware that it is impossible to sell nearly a thousand talismans in this scattered cultivator trading event.

He also dares not do so.

"How can this be? Just follow the market price."

Hong Yi said so.

He wouldn't try to take advantage of it from the beginning.

"Hong Xiong, take a look at these talismans and see if you can use them."

Lu Changsheng handed the talismans to Hong Yi.

"I didn't expect Brother Lu to be able to draw the Rejuvenation Talisman! It seems that Brother Lu will soon become a middle-grade talisman master!"

Hong Yi was surprised when he saw one of the talismans.

Although he didn't understand drawing talismans, he knew the prices of talismans.

For example, a first-grade lower-grade talisman is priced at 1 to 2 spirit stones based on its difficulty.

And the Rejuvenation Talisman is a lower-grade talisman worth two spirit stones, with a higher difficulty in drawing.

"I barely managed to draw a few."

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said.

When he considered making money, most of the first-grade lower-grade talismans in his hand were of higher difficulty.

"I'll take all these talismans, but I don't have so many spirit stones on me right now. I have to go back and get some spirit stones from my father before I can trade with Brother Lu."

Hong Yi said somewhat embarrassedly.

Although he was the son of the Duke of Ruyi, he didn't have many spirit stones.

Plus, he couldn't save up spirit stones because he had to cultivate.

"There's no rush for this. Hong Xiong can take these talismans first. I plan to ride to Niu Tou Mountain in Nanyu Prefecture to attend the trading event and visit home at the same time."

"The Spirit Horse will be temporarily left with Hong Xiong, and I will have to come back later."

Lu Changsheng said generously.

He was not afraid that Hong Yi would turn against him for these talismans.

If the other party really did that, he would use these talismans to see the true nature of a person.

"Thank you, Brother Lu. Brother Lu, rest assured, I will take good care of the Spirit Horse."

Hong Yi clasped his hands and said.

Without spending any money, if he took these talismans back, his father would be more likely to believe that he had a close relationship with Lu Changsheng, the talisman master.

"Thank you for your trouble, Hong Xiong."

Lu Changsheng slightly clasped his hands and then asked for a horse to ride to Niu Tou Mountain in Nanyu Prefecture.

He didn't have a spirit beast bag, so he didn't know if he could ride the Spirit Horse into Niu Tou Mountain.

To avoid these troubles, he simply rode a horse, not caring if he lost it.

After riding the Spirit Horse for so long and becoming a cultivator, riding a horse was no longer difficult for him.

The next day, the sky was slightly cool.

Lu Changsheng rode his horse from Ruyi County to Niu Tou Mountain.

He first found a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain to store the horse.

Then he went up the mountain alone and arrived at a deserted place, putting on the human skin mask he had purchased in advance from his storage bag.

Instantly, his handsome face turned pale yellow, and he became a somewhat dull young man.

Immediately after, he took out a large black cloak and put it on.

With the hood on, not only his whole body, but also his face and hair were completely covered, making it impossible to see his appearance.

After doing all this, Lu Changsheng continued up the mountain and arrived at a hillside north of Niu Tou Mountain.

According to the villagers, this hillside is shrouded in white mist all year round, but Lu Changsheng saw faint spiritual fluctuations through his Heavenly Eye Technique, and he knew at a glance that it was a formation.

"This should be it."

Lu Changsheng looked at the mist in front of him and knew that this was his destination.

He took out the communication talisman that Hong Yi had given him and activated it with his spiritual power.

Immediately, the talisman flew out of his hand and rushed into the mist on the hillside, disappearing from sight.

Lu Changsheng waited patiently for about a cup of tea's time, and saw the mist in front of him rolling, revealing a narrow path in the forest that seemed to have no end.

After observing the path for a while, Lu Changsheng took a step and walked into it.
