Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 158: Chapter 111: Heavy Casualties, Exorcism Talisman Price Skyrockets_2

This also made the loose cultivators anxious, and increased their desire for Exorcism Talismans.

At the same time, the price of Exorcism Talismans skyrocketed, reaching fifty Spirit Stones each.

Unfortunately, the talisman cultivators at the Cyan Forest Market were working tirelessly, but were unable to craft many Exorcism Talismans.

This indirectly pushed the price of the Exorcism Talismans even higher.

Some loose cultivators, even if they wanted to leave the Cyan Forest Market, found it impossible.

After all, other places in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range are even more dangerous, almost a certain death once left.

If they stayed in the shantytown area, as long as they were careful and had some capability, they at least had a chance to survive.

So, no one dared to leave the Cyan Forest Market.

”Finally, it’s done.”

At this moment, inside the wooden house, Jiang Fan admired the fruits of his labor.

After spending seven or eight days, he had crafted a total of two hundred Exorcism Talismans.

Each Exorcism Talisman contained considerable power.

If released, it could not only repel demons but even kill them.

For this reason, during this period, his home had not been attacked by demons.

Obviously, they weren’t fools.

They knew whom they could provoke and whom they couldn’t.

”Sell one hundred Exorcism Talismans first.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fist.

He didn’t plan to sell all the Exorcism Talismans, but only half of them.

After all, selling them all would earn too many Spirit Stones.

Such a sum of Spirit Stones could not be handled by him alone as a loose cultivator.

If discovered by enemies, it might be a total disaster.

”But selling Exorcism Talismans doesn’t require going to the market.”

”They can be sold in the black market in the shantytown.”

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.

In fact, treasures could be sold not only in the Cyan Forest Market.

Even in the shantytown, treasures could be sold.

In a remote corner of the shantytown, there is such a black market.

It is filled with loose cultivators, even possibly tribulation cultivators.

The origins of their treasures are unclear.

If brought to the market for sale, there might be significant problems.

So, these tribulation cultivators also didn’t dare to go to the Cyan Forest Market to sell their treasures.

Moreover, selling in the black market doesn’t require any fees.

Overall, it’s more convenient and much cheaper than the Cyan Forest Market.

For Jiang Fan, selling Exorcism Talismans in the shantytown black market has an even greater advantage.

That is, the cultivators here don’t have very high cultivation.

At most, it’s just the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.

Basically, late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators were all staying in the Cyan Forest Market.

Therefore, selling Exorcism Talismans in the shantytown black market guaranteed a great deal of personal safety.

Even if facing a siege by loose cultivators, he could remain unharmed.

”In normal times, loose cultivators in the shantytown probably can’t afford Exorcism Talismans.”

”But these times are different now.”

”Exorcism Talismans aren’t just talismans; they are a means of survival.”

”Even the poorest loose cultivator would probably keep one Exorcism Talisman.”

”They may not have extra Spirit Stones, but they can still manage a few dozen Spirit Stones.”

Jiang Fan stroked his chin.

Swoosh!

Thinking of this, he didn’t hesitate, bid farewell to Su Weiwei, and left his home.

The black market is located in the southwest corner of the shantytown, equivalent to its periphery.

It’s situated here, naturally, to facilitate the escape of loose cultivators.

If anything happens, they can immediately retreat into the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

In this way, even if pursued by cultivators from the Great Sun Sword Sect, there would be little worry.

However, before entering the black market, Jiang Fan first used the Disguise Technique, changing his appearance and stature, transforming into a middle-aged man with a full beard, looking rough and fierce.

At the same time, he used the power of his Life Talisman—the Conceal Breath Talisman to hide his aura.

This way, enemies couldn’t detect his aura and track him down.

Not long after, Jiang Fan arrived at the shantytown’s black market.

Just as he expected, this place was extremely shabby.

It was like a vegetable market.

All the loose cultivators had laid their mats on the roadside, selling all sorts of treasures.

But most were selling Spirit Rice, Demon Beast Meat, and Demon Beast Materials, among other things.

It was almost like a vegetable market.

Basically, loose cultivators would come here to buy all sorts of cheap food.

After all, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range lacked everything except food.

No one ever heard of a cultivator starving to death.

Whoosh!

As soon as Jiang Fan stepped into the black market, numerous secretive gazes fell upon him. After all, Jiang Fan’s appearance was too unfamiliar. Many loose cultivators had never seen him before, naturally sparking their curiosity.

Especially since Jiang Fan had concealed his aura, making him even more inscrutable.

However, he didn’t pay much attention to the surrounding gazes.

”Sure enough, the cultivation level of these loose cultivators in the black market isn’t very high.”

Jiang Fan swept his Spiritual Sense lightly over the entire black market and found that the strongest among them was only at the Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Although they were a bit stronger than him, it was limited.

After all, he had prepared many talismans this time.

It’s equivalent to carrying an arsenal.

Even if a Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator attacked him, they wouldn’t be able to gain an advantage.

Thinking of this, he calmed down instantly and headed to a spot on the street, casually finding a stall.

Then he placed an Exorcism Talisman on the stall.

”Is that an Exorcism Talisman?!”

As soon as Jiang Fan set up his stall, a loose cultivator noticed what he was selling and couldn’t help but shout out, his tone filled with boundless joy.

After all, the Exorcism Talisman is currently the hottest-selling commodity.

It’s like face masks during certain special times in the past life.

As long as they are put out, they sell out instantly, with no problem of unsold inventory.

The Exorcism Talisman is the same.

”No way, is it really an Exorcism Talisman?”

”My goodness, is someone actually selling Exorcism Talismans in the black market?”

”Is it real or fake? Could it be a counterfeit Exorcism Talisman?”

”No, this is definitely a real Exorcism Talisman. Look at the markings on the talisman, as precise as knife cuts, the spiritual power is seamless, like a work of art, it’s absolutely a top-quality talisman.”

Many loose cultivators immediately surrounded the stall.

They widened their eyes, staring intently at the Exorcism Talisman on the stall, full of excitement.

You must know, each of these loose cultivators is quite savvy.

They are also well-versed in the identification of talismans.

If it were a sub-standard talisman, the markings would be crooked and slanted, like doodles, and even the spiritual power left in the lines would contain impurities.

Even if such a talisman was used, its power would not be great.

But a top-quality talisman is different. The markings on it are like carvings, extremely precise, neither lacking nor excessive in the slightest, it is simply like a masterpiece.

Even a fool could see the difference between a sub-standard talisman and a top-quality one.

Without a doubt, the Exorcism Talisman on this stall is a top-quality talisman.

Their eyes lit up, each wanting to grab the Exorcism Talisman from the stall.

”Wonder how much you’re selling this Exorcism Talisman for, fellow cultivator?”

Someone immediately asked.

”Not expensive, thirty Spirit Stones each.”

Jiang Fan replied straightforwardly.

He also knew that the current market price for an Exorcism Talisman was fifty Spirit Stones each.

After all, the current situation was urgent, causing the price of Exorcism Talismans to keep rising.

But he still decided to sell at thirty Spirit Stones each.

After all, at this price, he would make a substantial profit.

Leaving some profit margin for the loose cultivators in the slums would probably send them into a frenzy.

This way, the sales could go quickly.

For such trades, the faster they sell, the better.

If it drags on for too long, who knows what accidents might happen.

If spotted by a late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, it could spell big trouble.

So, even if he had to sell cheaply, he wanted to ensure safety.

”Thirty Spirit Stones each? That’s indeed not expensive.”

Upon hearing this, the surrounding loose cultivators were ecstatic beyond compare.

Undoubtedly, if they bought this Exorcism Talisman, they could at least resell it for a profit of twenty Spirit Stones.

For them, it’s not just cheap, it’s an incredible bargain.

This is like a benefactor dropping in.

”Kid, however many Exorcism Talismans you have, I want them all,”

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked over, speaking in a booming voice.

He was accompanied by two companions.

The three of them stared intently at Jiang Fan, exuding a seemingly malicious intent.
