Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

As Zhao Chengji's voice fell, the crowd around him immediately turned their attention to Yun Qianshan.

Especially the shopkeepers and managers who had already reached a cooperation with Yun Qianshan, they were more anxious than others.

When they negotiated with Yun Qianshan before, they had no idea that Yun Qianshan had offended someone from the Huangji Sect.

Although...

The Huangji Sect's influence did not extend to the Lingbao City, but due to the other party's power, these small aristocratic families and scattered cultivators would still give the other party some face.

After all, the other party was powerful, and even if their reach was short, a few swings would be enough to wipe out these small ants.

However...

They did not immediately take sides.

Being able to be a shopkeeper in Lingbao City, whether it was in terms of scheming or intelligence, they were very astute; they understood the art of bargaining.

Although Yun Qianshan had offended the Huangji Sect now, it was not ruled out that the person behind him was not weaker than the Huangji Sect.

At this time, observing from the sidelines and watching the fire from the other side of the river was the safest choice, even if they would lose some bargaining chips.

As their thoughts circulated...

Yun Qianshan had already started to take action.

They saw a sincere smile appear on his lips as he said loudly, "Elder Mo and Manager Zhao, if you have come to congratulate and give gifts to my young master's store, Yun naturally welcomes it!"

He emphasized the words "give gifts."

Ji Boying, who was standing beside him, also raised the corners of his mouth when he heard Yun Qianshan's name.

Sure enough...

After hearing Yun Qianshan's words, Zhao Chengji's face immediately turned black.

He was just here to cause trouble, how could he really come to give gifts?

Just as Zhao Chengji was thinking about what to use as a gift, he saw Elder Mo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly take out a piece of talisman paper from his storage ring and said indifferently, "This is a four-star medium-grade Sword Talisman that I recently studied. It is comparable to a Nascent Soul stage mid-level cultivator's full-strength attack. Consider it a gift."

"A four-star medium-grade Sword Talisman! I heard that among the four-star medium-grade talismans, the Sword Talisman is the most difficult to comprehend. Not only does it require the talisman master to have superb seal carving skills and a solid foundation in talisman theory, but also a hint of sword intent!"

"Hiss... To be able to refine such a difficult talisman, Elder Mo must have already reached the level of a four-star medium-grade talisman master, right?"

"Tsk tsk... To use a Sword Talisman as a gift, truly worthy of the Huangji Sect! Such a grand gesture!"

After hearing Elder Mo's words, the crowd once again started discussing.

Even Zhao Chengji did not expect that Elder Mo had already reached the level of a four-star medium-grade talisman master, let alone that he would use a Sword Talisman as a gift.

Wasn't he here to cause trouble today?

With just a wave of his hand, he gave a four-star medium-grade talisman as a gift. Even if the store was destroyed, they wouldn't make any profit! They might even end up losing!

Truly extravagant!

Zhao Chengji couldn't help but lament in his heart.

"Elder Mo's generous gift has surprised me!" Yun Qianshan didn't hesitate and directly accepted the Sword Talisman. If he didn't know that the other party was really here to cause trouble, he would even suspect that the Huangji Sect wanted to establish a deeper cooperation with him.

"Elder Mo, please!" Yun Qianshan slightly stepped aside, making a gesture of invitation for Elder Mo.

The latter nodded and immediately walked into the store.

As for Zhao Chengji, although he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he was just a small subordinate of his young master. Elder Mo was an elder of the sect, so he didn't dare to say much. He could only follow behind and wait for an opportunity to remind the other party.

The crowd that had gathered at the entrance of the store had already dispersed by more than half after Elder Mo entered the store.

Only those who knew that this matter was not over yet stayed behind, waiting for the follow-up.

These people included the shopkeepers and managers who had already reached a cooperation with Yun Qianshan...

After Elder Mo entered the store, he immediately started wandering around the first-floor sales area.

He is a talisman master, and only those who can read talismans are knowledgeable about the Tao of guarding.

As for the elixirs and treasures on the second and third floors, even if he looks at them, he can only roughly determine their quality, but cannot explain why.

If you want to find faults and pick on things, you still have to rely on talismans.

After walking through several shelves, Elder Mo looked through all the three-star talismans. Most of them were of high quality, with only a few being exquisite, and their prices were slightly cheaper than the normal market price.

There are many problems with these talismans, but... compared to their prices, these problems are not worth mentioning.

Even if he points out various problems with these talismans, these problems are common, and most shops in Lingbao City make the same mistakes. Therefore, it is not meaningful to nitpick at these talismans.

He needs to find more expensive ones!

He needs to find four-star talismans!

And he needs to find the fatal flaws in these talismans!

With this mindset, Elder Mo walked towards the shelves further inside, focusing all his attention on the four-star talismans.

However...

After going around in a circle, he couldn't find a breakthrough, but his brow furrowed.

Most of these four-star talismans are exquisite, with only a few being high-quality. This is not the main issue. The main issue is... he cannot avoid the mistakes made in these talismans. Moreover, after careful examination and research, he discovered that the talisman masters who drew these talismans are actually much more skilled than himself!

How can he find faults and pick on things like this?

The four-star talismans in the shop are all drawn by Xiao Ning'er.

Now that Xiao Ning'er has reached the Gold Core realm, her level in talisman Dao has naturally reached the middle level of four stars.

With the boost from her talisman courage, Xiao Ning'er is extremely skilled in drawing four-star talismans!

Especially in the aspect of seal script techniques, she has already reached the ceiling corresponding to that realm after her breakthrough.

The only flaw is the talisman theory.

Of course, this flaw is relative to Ji Boying. Compared to other four-star talisman masters, she completely dominates.

Seeing that Elder Mo was still not taking action, Zhao Chengji couldn't sit still anymore and quickly walked up to him, transmitting his voice: "Elder Mo, why haven't you made a move yet?"

The old man glanced at Zhao Chengji, his imposing aura making the latter shudder involuntarily.

He put the talisman in his hand back in its original place and said indifferently, "Although these talismans have flaws, even I cannot avoid those flaws. What qualifications do I have to criticize and meddle?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengji's expression immediately changed, but after a moment, a fierce look appeared on his face.

"Elder Mo!"

"Mo Qin is still locked up in the punishment hall! If you don't want him to be released, you can leave now!"

Boom!

As soon as Zhao Chengji finished speaking, a burst of aura erupted from Elder Mo's body, but it only spread less than a foot before he forcibly retracted it.

He tightened his fist inside his sleeve and coldly glanced at Zhao Chengji. Then, he looked around at the people who had kept a certain distance and took out the talisman he had just put back. The spiritual light in his hand flickered without leaving a trace, and soon...

Subtle changes occurred in the spiritual patterns on the original talisman, but the integrity of the talisman was not damaged. At first glance, it seemed to be the same as before, with no difference at all.

However...

At this moment, any four-star talisman master with a bit of insight, or even a three-star high-quality talisman master with a solid foundation in talisman theory, could tell that this talisman had a problem and had even become a useless talisman!

Elder Mo picked up the talisman and said loudly, "Where is the shopkeeper?"
