Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 11: Rent for Outer City Residences (Revised)

After all, talismans were Li Guanxuan's specialty, and there was no pressure in drawing them as long as there was enough spiritual energy.

But when Li Guanxuan started drawing the Frost Talisman, it broke before he even finished half of it.

"It's not so easy to draw a first-grade superior talisman... Forget it, I'll focus on specializing. I won't consider the Frost Talisman and the Flame Talisman. I'll just concentrate on perfecting the Exploding Spirit Talisman. After all, the Exploding Spirit Talisman is more expensive and has a stronger offensive power than these two talismans."

After pondering for a moment, Li Guanxuan picked up the heavily worn-out black-haired brush, feeling a bit worried in his heart.

This brush had been with him for many years, from a first-grade inferior to a first-grade superior, and now it was on the verge of heroic sacrifice.

"Ah, I forgot to buy a brush."

Li Guanxuan sighed, "Never mind, let's just draw. Even if I can only draw one Exploding Spirit Talisman, it can at least increase the safety rate when going out, so I won't be helpless when facing a robbery."

The first Exploding Spirit Talisman failed as expected.

When he was drawing the seventh Exploding Spirit Talisman, Li Guanxuan had just touched a bit of cinnabar when the entire brush broke and was crushed into powder by spiritual power.

"Thirty-five taels of cinnabar gone just like that..."

Li Guanxuan felt a bit distressed. If he had known, he would have just smashed the black-haired brush.

However, this was also due to his lucky mentality, always thinking that he could draw a first-grade superior Exploding Spirit Talisman.

"Now I only have one first-grade superior Body Protection Talisman, a first-grade medium-grade magic weapon longsword, and two inferior flying knives... As long as I don't encounter more than two Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivators, I can fight them."

Li Guanxuan sighed lightly. He hadn't stayed at home for long before he had to go to the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion again.

"Wife, the brush is broken. I have to go to the market."

Li Guanxuan pushed open the door and said to Wen Rongxin, who was meditating and resting in the courtyard.

"Ah? Going out again..."

Wen Rongxin's face was full of worry. After all, Li Guanxuan had gone out during the day and only returned at night a few days ago. He must have encountered some trouble on the way.

Wen Rongxin whispered, "Husband, I'll go with you."

After saying that, Wen Rongxin rolled up her sleeves, indicating that she was also capable of fighting now. Her bright almond eyes were full of anticipation.

"No need, stay at home and wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Li Guanxuan smiled and reassured her, "I still have a few first-grade superior Body Protection Talismans on me, so don't worry."

He reached out and pinched Wen Rongxin's smooth and moist face. Li Guanxuan couldn't help but sigh. His wife had truly transformed.

When they first met, Wen Rongxin was a thin and pale little wildcat. After his nurturing, her originally sharp and thin oval face had gained some flesh, becoming a flawless gem, exuding a captivating charm.

In addition, Wen Rongxin had gained weight in all the right places. Her small waist was still tight and flexible, truly worthy of being a martial artist.

"Be careful on the road."

Wen Rongxin watched Li Guanxuan's gradually disappearing figure, her heart filled with worry. Then she moved a small chair and sat in the courtyard, quietly waiting for her husband to return.

Nowadays, her mind was restless, making it difficult to make progress in martial arts and easy to fall into demonic cultivation.

...

After leaving home, Li Guanxuan also noticed the worry on his wife's face and thought that they should move to Azure Serenity City as soon as possible.

Besides safety, there was also cultivation.

He could absorb the pure energy of the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree, but Wen Rongxin could only cultivate using the spiritual stones he gave her.

If they could get closer to the first-grade spiritual vein near Azure Serenity City, Wen Rongxin's cultivation speed would be faster.

Inside the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.

The shopkeeper was surprised, "Fellow Daoist, you've already drawn talismans so quickly?"

"The brush broke. Give me a better first-grade superior brush at a fair price. I'm a regular customer," Li Guanxuan shook his head and smiled.

"A first-grade superior brush?"

The shopkeeper looked Li Guanxuan up and down, his cloudy old eyes shining with a glimmer of light. He was somewhat surprised, "If I remember correctly, you only just reached the first-grade medium-grade half a year ago, right?"

After all, at that time, some of the talismans Li Guanxuan drew were relatively rough and obscure.

"I need guidance from an expert."

Li Guanxuan tapped the table with his fingertips and said helplessly, "Brother, the brush."

The reason he dared to reveal that he was a first-grade superior talisman master was also because of the reputation of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.

Each branch shopkeeper was carefully selected, and most of them were trustworthy.

"Hey, why the rush? It's rare for you to come, let's chat."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about what I will do to you. Before taking over this shop, I made a vow in front of the pavilion master. If I violate it, I will be destroyed both physically and spiritually... Now, what is the first-grade superior talisman you drew?"

Li Guanxuan looked at the shopkeeper with a skeptical expression.

In the cultivation world, he only believed about twenty to thirty percent of what others said.

"A protective talisman," Li Guanxuan replied.

"As expected."

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and smiled without any surprise, "I won't hide it from you, the protective talismans you draw sell very well. The quality is one or two percent higher than other talisman masters. If you can draw more first-grade superior protective talismans... Well, brother, I will have a chance to reach Foundation Building."

He intentionally tried to win over Li Guanxuan because he noticed that the latter could produce so many protective talismans each time.

After all, personal safety was the most important thing when traveling outside.

Therefore, protective talismans were particularly popular among cultivators.

Some high-quality protective talismans would be sold out as soon as they were put on the market, without any worry about not being sold.

The shopkeeper thought that if Li Guanxuan sold all the protective talismans he drew to him, he could increase the basic price by one or two spirit stones.

Don't underestimate these one or two spirit stones, as the profit was substantial.

Year after year, the shopkeeper's performance might even receive recognition from the headquarters and be promoted to Foundation Building.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper immediately said, "Fellow Daoist, my surname is Zheng, and my name is Huangjin. In the future, if you only sell your protective talismans to me, I will buy them at market price, as many as you have. But there is one condition... you cannot sell them to others, how about it?"

Li Guanxuan knew what the other party was thinking, but his strength was too low, and he didn't want to attract attention. If he got involved in any disputes, his life would be in danger.

Then, Li Guanxuan nodded and said, "Okay!"

...

After leaving the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, Li Guanxuan changed his appearance and wandered around the market for several rounds.

He didn't leave the market until he felt that no one was paying attention to him.

This time, he spent seventy spirit stones to buy a high-quality brush and a rejuvenation pill. In addition, Zheng Huangjin also gave him a book of talisman drawings for him to draw other talismans in his spare time.

In addition, Li Guanxuan also inquired about the rental prices of residences in the outer city from Zheng Huangjin.

The annual rent for a residence in the outer city was about one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

The annual rent for a residence in the inner city was about six hundred low-grade spirit stones.

This huge rent was something Li Guanxuan had never dared to think about before.

Now, he could barely consider renting a residence in the outer city.

When Li Guanxuan returned home, he found that a household seemed to have been attacked by rogue cultivators. When the guards of Azure Serenity City came to clean up the bodies, they couldn't help but say something unlucky.

"It seems like it's the Fellow Daoist Guan family who died."

"Ah, I've told him not to show off his wealth outside... in this slum area, no one is watching, showing off wealth is the same as courting death."

"..."

The neighbors around shook their heads.

Wen Rongxin had already hidden in the house and when she saw Li Guanxuan return, she quickly pulled him in, not letting him join in the commotion.
