Chapter 615: Startling News (7200 Supplement)

~7 min read 1,382 words

A long life experience had taught Aaron one thing.

Not every problem needs to be solved immediately.

When in doubt, procrastination is also a way to solve problems.

Therefore, when Lin Yuanping returned a few days later to report that the Immortal Cultivation World had been calm recently, and according to news from Shen Zui, that scoundrel Jin Buhuan was indeed preparing to take another concubine and was truly strapped for cash... Aaron did not feel the slightest bit tempted.

A few days later, Jin Buhuan came knocking again: "Two thousand Spirit Stones. If the Sun family hadn't pressured me so tightly, I would never sell my ancestral property. If you don't buy it, Fellow Daoist, I'll have to sell it to someone else..."

"Hmm, feel free to sell it, Fellow Daoist."

Aaron blew on his Spirit Tea unhurriedly: "At worst, I'll just open a shop somewhere else; perhaps business will be even better..."

Just as he was preparing to leave Sanshan Market to avoid the limelight, someone suddenly paid a visit.

Aaron took the invitation with both hands, invited the two into his Cave Abode, and served Spirit Tea.

Hongfu Xianzi looked around, then suddenly cast a talisman—it was a 'Silent Talisman'.

Aaron's eyelids twitched, but seeing it was not an attack talisman, he did not stop them, waiting to see what medicine these two were selling in their gourd.

"Fine, let's go settle the transaction and draw up the contract right now!" Jin Buhuan gritted his teeth: "Once I get the Spirit Stones, I'll take my whole family and leave this godforsaken place!"

Aaron could not help but show surprise: "Is it really like that? No wonder..."

Aaron opened the door and saw two people standing at the entrance of the Cave Abode; the man among them was elegant and refined, and beside him was a petite female cultivator in red.

Aaron had originally intended to leave a clerk to watch the shop while he slipped away, and now he was even more determined that he must do so.

The Qingding Sect originally had two Golden Core Ancestors, but after the old Golden Core passed away, only the newly promoted Qingdan Old Ancestor remained, and the situation immediately changed!

Jin Buhuan suddenly became dejected, which made Aaron's brow twitch: "Fellow Daoist Jin, there are some things you might as well speak openly about..."

"Little Lin."

During this period, some shops were changing hands very frequently, which made Aaron smell the scent of danger.

"Boss..."

"This is natural, this is natural."

"What does Fellow Daoist mean?" Jin Buhuan's eyes lit up.

Hongfu Xianzi smiled, her expression suddenly turning serious: "My father has some connections within the Qingding Sect... and that old Golden Core in the Qingding Sect recently, I'm afraid... has passed away."

After seeing off Shen Zui and his wife, Aaron immediately went to find Jin Buhuan.

"One thousand Spirit Stones, give me the shop's Land Deed." Aaron cut the price in half directly.

"What? Fellow Daoist knows too?" Jin Buhuan was first startled, then looked as if his bones had been removed, his forehead covered in cold sweat: "I knew it... this news would spread sooner or later."

The reason for the flourishing business was not some low-grade Talismans, but the 'Diamond Talisman' and 'Fire Feather Arrow Talisman' that would appear from time to time!

No matter where the Small Talisman Hall moved within the market, the business could continue to flourish.

"Since Fellow Daoist is a good friend of my husband, I have a piece of news here to serve as a greeting gift."

Unknowingly, another month passed.

Aaron looked at the trembling fat man in front of him and lowered his voice: "Do you think I don't know about the change in the Qingding Sect?"

One thousand Spirit Stones was merely the profit of the Small Talisman Hall for ten years; it was a loss he could afford!

"One thousand, isn't that a bit too little?" Jin Buhuan's heart ached so much that all his fat was quivering.

"No, no..." Jin Buhuan shook his head repeatedly and rolled out like a meatball.

"Let me introduce you, this 'Hongfu Xianzi' is my fiancée!" The jade flute Shen Zui originally held in his hand was now tucked into his waist, and he had replaced it with a large red invitation: "This time our couple has come to visit to invite you, Fellow Daoist, to attend our wedding ceremony..."

Aaron stated calmly.

Seeing this scene, a slight ominous premonition suddenly arose in Aaron's heart.

Aaron didn't even need to show his face personally; he could completely control a few martial arts masters to do it, minimizing the risk.

If it failed...

Once these words were spoken, it was truly earth-shattering!

Hongfu Xianzi was dressed in red, looking heroic and spirited, without the slightest bit of coyness: "My husband has always mentioned you to me, saying you are a close friend! You must come and drink this wedding wine."

"This must be Boss Fang of the Small Talisman Hall, right?"

'This silly boy... sigh, if a person knows less, they will live very happily.'

This was the time for investment, to gamble that the Sanshan Association would still exist after the war, or that the successor would recognize the previous order and documents.

"This... is really sudden."

"I plan to travel far for a period of time later, so I will leave this Small Talisman Hall entirely to you to manage... I will raise your Spirit Stones to two per month!" Aaron asked: "How about it?"

Otherwise, if he didn't manage to run away and became cannon fodder, that would truly be a pitfall.

"Nine hundred, it will become eight hundred in a moment," Aaron said without even lifting his eyelids.

"This news is still top secret; I only intend to tell Elder Qian and you two. Remember not to spread it further."

"Fellow Daoist certainly has a good plan, but there are very few people in the market now who have over a thousand Spirit Stones and don't know about this matter."

Shen Zui urged: "This Sanshan Market has also become a place of trouble; it would be better to go out and avoid it."

"Many thanks, Boss, many thanks, Boss." Lin Yuanping's eyes lit up; this was a pie falling from the sky!

'I knew it... that Jin Buhuan really still wanted to scam me!'

"To tell you the truth, I have exactly that intention."

The Black Blood Sect Ancestor was a character who sought revenge for the slightest grievance; having suffered such a big loss before, how could he not retaliate?

And once the Wu Country Immortal Cultivation World invaded on a large scale, this Sanshan Market located at the border would be difficult to spare in any case!

Whether the Sanshan Association would exist after the war was a question in itself!

And the shops in the market immediately turned from high-quality assets into junk assets, and it was understandable that people were anxious to offload them.

"Fellow Daoist Shen?"

As for other issues, they are easy to resolve; for instance, the handover of Talismans and Spirit Stones can be handled by having Lin Yuanping run a few more errands to a nearby mortal city!

The reputation of the "Small Talisman Hall" has already spread.

Aaron stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Who is this?"

Aaron was slightly astonished; after all, Shen Zui had such an uninhibited nature, so how could he suddenly have a Dao companion?

Could he have been set up in a honey trap? Or perhaps he was caught in the room by his father-in-law and forced to sign a marriage contract?

Just as Aaron was lost in thought, the woman in red spoke up:

"You... sigh..."

Aaron muttered a complaint in his heart, but on the surface, he solemnly thanked the couple, Shen Zui and his wife: "Many thanks to you both for the information."

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you nearly deceived me quite miserably."

Aaron sighed and returned to his Cave Abode.

'Wasn't it originally a blessed land and a propitious site?'

Aaron rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still followed the other party to the Sanshan Association to complete a series of procedures.
