Chen Xiaoliu in the shop quickly brewed a cup of spiritual tea and respectfully handed it to Lu Changfeng.

The shopkeeper Shi had a smile on his face and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, let's go to the elegant room."

The two of them went upstairs to a quiet room.

Lu Changfeng took out a thousand First Grade Rank Four talismans directly from his storage bag, tasted the spiritual tea in his hand, and pretended to say, "Shopkeeper Shi, can your Hundred Treasures Pavilion consume all these First Grade Rank Four talismans?"

The shopkeeper Shi widened his eyes and looked at the thousand First Grade Rank Four talismans on the table, his expression incredulous.

To be honest, in the thirty years that he had managed the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, it was the first time he had seen so many intermediate talismans. He wasn't confident that they could consume them all.

After all, the price of a First Grade Rank Four talisman was not low, requiring forty-five low-grade spirit stones per talisman.

And most of the cultivators in Fallen Cloud Town were only at the Qi Refining first to third levels. There were only a little over two hundred people at the Qi Refining fourth level and above.

Therefore, low-grade talismans were very popular, while there were very few buyers for intermediate and high-grade talismans.

After hesitating for a moment, the shopkeeper Shi looked at Lu Changfeng with even more awe in his eyes and said, "I will go consult the Patriarch."

"Alright."

Lu Changfeng leisurely drank his tea.

Before long, the shopkeeper Shi walked back into the room, his face full of smiles, and said, "The Patriarch contacted a friend in Fallen Cloud City and split half of his profit with him. He is confident that he can sell all these intermediate talismans. Fellow Daoist Lu, you can have as many as you want."

Lu Changfeng smiled and said, "For now, I only have these thousand intermediate talismans, but there will be more later. Since Hundred Treasures Pavilion can consume them, I don't need to go to other shops."

"Shopkeeper Shi, please provide me with another thousand low-grade puppet materials and five storage bags."

The shopkeeper Shi asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Lu, why do you need so many low-grade puppet materials? With your talent as a talisman master, you are capable of reaching the peak. Why bother learning puppetry? As the saying goes, 'greed leads to nothing but trouble.' I advise you to focus on being a talisman master so as not to delay your future and regret it."

Lu Changfeng smiled and casually replied, "Rest assured, Shopkeeper Shi. I am well aware and won't waste my talent as a talisman master."

As he spoke, he took out a lifelike puppet animal from his storage bag and said, "Shopkeeper Shi, what do you think of this puppet?"

The shopkeeper Shi only glanced at it and said, "Flashy but impractical. It's of no use to cultivators."

Lu Changfeng smiled faintly and asked, "This cute puppet animal may not be popular among cultivators, but girls and children might like it."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper Shi's eyes lit up. Years of doing business had made him sensitive to opportunities. "Listening to Fellow Daoist Lu's words, these seemingly insignificant little things do indeed have a market. How about I buy these little things from Fellow Daoist Lu for one low-grade spirit stone each?"

Lu Changfeng laughed heartily and said, "I like Shopkeeper Shi's straightforward way of doing things. Alright, I'll sell them to you for one low-grade spirit stone each."

Immediately, Lu Changfeng took out the remaining two hundred puppet animals from his storage bag.

After a while, Chen Xiaoliu prepared everything that Lu Changfeng needed and respectfully said, "Master Lu, you have spent a total of 7,500 low-grade spirit stones, and there are still 37,500 spirit stones left."

"Alright."

Lu Changfeng accepted the items and calculated in his mind that he had nearly fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones in total.

Although this amount of spirit stones was a huge sum in the eyes of low-level cultivators, it would probably only make a small splash at the auction in Fallen Cloud City.

"Take care, Fellow Daoist Lu."

The shopkeeper Shi bid farewell with a smile.

Just at that moment, a powerful spiritual pressure swept in from outside Fallen Cloud Town like a storm.

This was the aura of someone at the Foundation Building Stage.

The shopkeeper Shi's expression changed.

Lu Changfeng also stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sky with a serious expression.

Immediately after, more than 5,000 cultivators from Fallen Cloud Town also looked up at the sky with a nervous expression.

Chen Family Manor.

The Chen Family Patriarch, as if facing a great enemy, controlled a flying sword and soared into the sky.

Soon, other experts from the Chen Family also flew into the sky one after another, standing expressionless behind the Chen Family Patriarch.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

In the azure sky, several rainbow lights first streaked across the firmament and landed in front of the Chen Family Patriarch. Three elders at the Qi Refining Seventh Level or above stood on the flying sword.

Then, a heavily damaged spirit ship, with blood stains still fresh on its deck, slowly flew out from the clouds.

On the left and right of the spirit ship were four young men and women with cold expressions, riding on flying demonic beasts, protecting the severely damaged spirit ship.

These four young men and women were all very young, with decent appearances and proud gazes. They looked to be under twenty years old, and each of them had a cultivation level of at least the Qi Refining Fourth Level. Such talent could be considered peerless in the small place of Fallen Cloud Town.

The Chen Family Patriarch frowned, his gaze serious.

Because the other side had experts at the Foundation Building Stage.

He felt apprehensive and did not attack these unfamiliar cultivators.

"The Ye Family from Tianshui Prefecture is passing through this place with no ill intentions. We just want to stay here for a few days. Fellow Daoist, please don't panic."

An old voice came from the spirit ship, carrying the aura of the Foundation Building Stage.

The Chen Family Patriarch's expression instantly turned cold.

As the saying goes, borrowing Jingzhou without returning it.

How can two tigers share the same mountain?

The other side had such a large formation.

It was unlikely that they came to stay; they were probably here to seize territory.

Chen Lao Ba's expression turned serious as he said, "Big Brother, we can't provoke experts at the Foundation Building Stage. Let's observe for a while before making a decision."

The Chen Family Patriarch gritted his teeth and said with hatred, "Tianshui Prefecture is ten thousand li away from Heiyun Prefecture. They came all this way; they must have malicious intentions. If they want to occupy Fallen Cloud Town, our Chen Family is in danger! Lao Ba, you're right. Let's observe for a while before making a decision. Also, take a large sum of money and go to Fallen Cloud City to inform my old friends and see if they are willing to help us."

A tinge of sadness appeared on Chen Lao Ba's face as he nodded.

"The Ye Family has come from afar. As the owners of Fallen Cloud Town, the Chen Family should receive them and let them pass!"

The Chen Family Patriarch said loudly.

The Chen Family members present had unwilling expressions.

The three Ye Family elders, on the other hand, smiled and flew to Fallen Cloud Town, purchasing some houses to live in.

After half an incense stick's worth of time.

The three large mansions in the center of the town had owners.

Then, the spirit ship in the sky slowly descended, and a pale-faced, burly old man with sharp eyes like knives walked down first.

Following him were a large group of frightened elderly, weak, and women and children.

Lastly, there were hundreds of men, some of whom were lying unconscious on stretchers, covered in injuries.

When these foreign cultivators entered their newly purchased mansions, they set up formations, closed the gates, and sealed themselves inside.

The Chen Family Patriarch watched all of this and snorted coldly, "So it turns out they are a group of desperate dogs, chased to Fallen Cloud Town."
